Jesse teaching Jay Modern/Earth-2 slang, and everytime he tries to use it, Harry always cringes and hates it, and Jesse just finds it hilarious.

Jay has no idea why he gets these reactions, but uses the slang because he finds it funny how much Harry cringes and it makes Jesse laugh.

Going to write some Jay/Bruce/Harry love triangle shit 😈 No one will ever read it, but there will always be that very small glimmer of hope that one of my old RP partners see it... highly highly doubt it, this fandom is dead and I'm pretty sure they've all left Tumblr, but a man can hope 😓

"C'mon Jesse, you got this. keep going. Feel the lightning in you, be the lightning!" Jay commands sternly.

"Jay-" Harry starts to speak before Jay cuts him off, knowing what he's going to say.

"She has to do this on her own, Harry, she can do it. This is part of the gig, if shes to be a hero, she has to be able to push through anything."

"She won't be a hero if you don't go out and help her! she'll be dead!" Harry argues, "She's my daughter, if you won't save her, I will!"

Harry starts to storm off, but Jay grabs his arm and stops him,

"I know what I'm doing, you have to trust me. You have to trust her. She's got this."

Harry stares at Jay for a second, before pulling himself out of his grip and heading to the monitors the furthest from him. Jay smiles slightly, he may be sleeping on the couch tonight, and a few days after, but he's slept in way worse conditions for way longer. He returns his attention to the monitors.

"You'll instinctively know when to release it" Jay says into Jesse's earpiece, "Feel the lightning flow through your body, feel it culminating in your arm, when you feel it's almost unbearable, let it go."

Jesse runs in a tight circle, one, two, three more times, before launching a bolt of lightning straight at a giant cyborgs chest. As the electricity courses through the machine, it overheats it circuits and shuts the whole thing down. it collapses on to the ground, and Jesse stops and falls to her knees, exhausted and bruised, but smiling.

"Fantastic job Jesse!" Jay exclaims, "take a little breather, and come back when you feel ready."

Jay sits down in his chair and lets out a sigh of relief.

"One more hit from that thing and she would've died." Harry speaks up, back still to Jay.

"I know." Jay replies, "She wants to be a hero, Harry, this is the life. We won't be around forever, she has to learn how to do this on her own."

"By almost dying?!" Harry yells back, facing him angrily, "You couldn't just teach her how to throw lightning in the lab instead of letting her risk her life on something you don't even know if she could do?!"

"Sure! Just stop the fight, let the giant cyborg kill innocent people," Jay raises his voice, "as we just teach her in the lab! She has to adapt in the field! the lives of innocent civilians are at stake!"

"Better them than her!" Harry yells back, "She's my daughter first and foremost, not a hero. Her life means more than anyone elses. You have no idea what I've done to protect her."

"Don't act like she means nothing to me! I would give my life for her! and you have no idea what I've gone through to protect her." Jay replies sternly.

They stare at eachother in silence, the tension is so palpable you could cut it with a knife. It's only broken when Jesse runs in and braces herself against the desk.

Harry quickly moves over to her and supports her,

"come on, let's get you looked at. You took quite a beating..." Harry says leading her towards the medbay.

Jay watches them in silence, perhaps the couch is still too close for tonight, and he hasn't seen his Earth 3 friends in awhile, maybe he'll pay them a visit.

Hewwo? mr obama?

any active DCtv/The Flash RP accounts out there? I'd love to RP with you! I have Eobard and Jay Garrick accounts. I used to run the accounts 5 years ago, but eventually deleted them. BUT I'M BACK!

I'll happily do any AU, canon or OC characters. Both characters are different Earth variants, but I'll also happily play the canon versions of them, or any AU version.

thank you!

I miss my Harry/Jay roleplaying. that was fun. I know Ill never get ANYONE from my old group back, but doesn't mean I can't miss them. Good times.

[jaygarrickspeedgrandpa]

went and saw a play today with Harry. it was very nice, I really enjoyed it... of course, I did leave to do a few things a handful of times, but I was fast enough where no one noticed.

that's one thing I love about retirement, is that I have a lot more time to spend with Harry. I would love to say, without the threat of me possibly dying every day, that he's also relaxed some, but now that Jesse is the one out there, I think he's more stressed than ever.... on the bright side though our stress relief time is a lot more... active and interesting now...

[jaygarrickspeedgrandpa]

You know, I don't think Speedsters are meant to retire, I've been trying to keep myself busy. Even before I got powers I couldn't sit still for long, I can maybe sit still for 5 minutes, 10 if I'm injured or tired. I thought I'd try to pick up a hobby, or return to one I had when I was younger, didn't take long for me to master or get bored of them... I thought about getting a job, but there's only one job that can ever have enough stimulating work for me to do, and that's being a superhero.... Despite my promise to Harry, and Jesse, I think I need to go back, I'm going crazy in retirement...

I'm the only Jay/Harry shipper alive and I will spread that propaganda forever. They are in love and no, I won't ship anything else

Cats will see a rectangle of scratchy uncomfortable fabric and be like "is anyone gonna be So So Sleepy on that" and not wait for an answer

[jaygarrickspeedgrandpa]

you know, I've never really talked about this, but I feel like I can here, probably because there's well, no one here. I'm not a violent man, or at least I try not to be, I like to try to talk before I take action, sometimes that helps, other times....

anyways, I've never once wanted to harm anyone beyond what was necessary, and being as fast as I am, most of the time I can get whoever without the use of violence.

Well, that's actually an exaggeration, there was once... there is someone... even just saying it was once would be wrong, because I thought about harming-- killing-- this man for years. even to this day sometimes I have that anger and hatred rise up and I think, no one would blame me if I...

I would never do it though, as much as these thoughts like to invade my mind whenever he's around, I won't let him break my morals, my promise. He took everything else from me, I won't let him take my moral code away..

.....

though... if she ever asked me....

[jaygarrickspeedgrandpa]

I've really been enjoying training Jesse, I think a mentorship role really suits me, though I'm sure Jesse will say I can be a little too uhh tough sometimes.

She's young, I just want to make sure she doesn't make the same mistakes I did at her age, make sure she stays safe and understand the responsibility she holds..... though I do hope I'm not too harsh, I have taught a few things that aren't necessarily useful in battle, but they sure make daily life better.

We are rather close though, she likes me enough to let me marry her father after all, though we've never talked about our shared experience... not something either of us want to think about too much, I just hope she knows if she ever does, I'll always be here for her.

Jay smiles as he takes the final pie out of the oven. Nothing like the smell of a fresh baked pie, a smell that Jay at one point thought he'd never smell again. Jay pushes those feelings and thoughts down, best not to dwell on them. Placing the pie on the cooling rack, Jay grabs a fork and the oldest pie and sits down on the couch. His days have been so much longer since he's gone into semi-retirement, without the constant threat of death, time really really drags on. Sure he occasionally helps train Jesse, and if needed helps guide her in fights, but it was nowhere near as exhilarating as being in the fight himself. He still misses the intense adrenaline and cathartic release of anger as he beat--

No. No, Jay shouldn't think those thoughts, he's a peaceful man, he only fights when necessary. He shouldn't crave the feeling of fighting, he shouldn't want the violence, that's not who he is, who he should be. Repress those thoughts, ignore them. He's a hero, he can't think like that.

turning on the TV, Jay starts eating his pie while watching the news. This should occupy him for a bit, at least until Harry gets home, then he'll definitely be able to get his adrenaline pumping again.
