Oh! Right. That was quite some time ago for me.

It's not often I meet anyone else who can create lightning, though in the Fleet it seems a lot more common.

[Which is... annoying, but he does his best not to say so. He's still the god of it, so he's the best.]

[supertardiness]

[He blinks a bit until his brain slots the "for me" into place and he nods. Right. Atroma loves to play with time when given the opportunity. He'd rather just stick with his speed for now.]

It's not that often for me either. Though I'm known more for my speed than I am for my ability to create lightning. The lightning is just friction.

[rebuildyourruins]

Ah, so it is a side effect then. [That he can live with.] I knew a man once who had speed like yours, though I never saw him create lightning in that way. Perhaps it was slightly different.

[supertardiness]

Maybe.

[Who knows why DC speedsters have lightning and Marvel speedsters don't. Probably because Marvel was killing Pietro anyway, so they didn't think about it too hard.]

Do they have access to something called the speed force?

[rebuildyourruins]

Speed force? I don't know - he never mentioned it, but we did not really have time to talk much.

[And now that guy's dead.]

Is that where your power comes from?

[supertardiness]

[He nods a bit.]

Most speedsters where I'm from can access it. Usually there's some kind of event to trigger it, like I was struck by lightning combined with dark matter, but yeah. It's really hard to explain.

[rebuildyourruins]

Now that sounds like quite a tale. I would think getting struck by lightning would usually end poorly.

[A beat.]

That's usually my intention when hitting people with it.

[supertardiness]

[He laughs.]

Yeah, well, it wasn't perfect. I was in a coma for nine months.
