Bart leaned into Cissie's touch, smiling. He used to say he hated it, but after getting stuck in the Speed Force, no one ruffled his hair anymore. It turned out he kind of missed it once it was gone.
Munching on his cookie as slowly as he could, Bart tried not to flinch when Cissie started talking. Intellectually, he knew that he was friends with all these people, but he hadn't expected to hear how profoundly he had affected his friends. The worst part about the Speed Force was that there were times when he could see them, but he could never manage to get through to come back. Leaning his head against Cissie's knee, Bart sighed. "I'm sorry," he said softly.
