Have you read any of Salieri's stuff? Memento Mori is all about Jack after Abyss. Jack’s mind knew what it was to die and die and die. But his skin was so smooth. His body didn‘t remember.
And Taste of Honey, Smell of Bees, which is long and creative and all about bringing the team back together in Season 7. There's some marvelous Jack in it. Plus? Flying! heee.
I think Stargate is my favourite crack!fic these days, so I thank and curse you for those recs.
As far as the character that was mentioned a few posts back being on Smallville...
A site I visited and got semi-spoiled at said that the character of
The Flash will be from the future and will have inherited the powers at birth
...We'll see.
Well, that makes the name make sense then. If they weren't just pulling from text canon.
Ah, Kryptonsite's spoilers page has a slightly different story...
Which Flash? This red-sweatshirt wearing fellow is not Wally West, not Barry Allen, and not Jay Garrick - instead, it's Bart Allen, boy from the future and grandson of the most famous Flash (Barry Allen). However, in this version of the story he was involved in an accident at a very young age that resulted in his powers.
Hmmm. I like the other idea better.
The idea that there's this family that keeps having
these accidents happen to them to express their speed genes is just odd. Wouldn't everyone start diving for the chemicals then?
Wait -- that would be Bart, right? Can he time travel all the time? Or would that be one of the pre-Crisis future Flashes?

About Last Night...
IIRC, the canon is
that Barry Allen and Iris West somehow wound up living in the 30th century for a time, where they had two children, Dawn and Don Allen, who both inherited Barry's powers. Dawn Allen had a daughter, Jenni Ognats, who became XS in the Legion, while Don had a son, Bart, who then was sent back in time to now. Both Jenni and Bart also inherited Barry's powers, through their parents.
I wonder if
the accident mentioned involved kryptonite.
It would certainly be a major departure from canon, but not from Smallville.
