[Barry looks like a cross between panicked and outraged.]

Can anyone tell me how to get home from here?! My wife is going to be very upset that I've been kidnapped. She's a very well respected detective with the Central City Police Department and--

[He runs a hand through his hair and looks around, clearly fretting now.]

Oh gosh, Iris. What is Iris going to say? What is she going to do? I hope she finds this place. Wherever this place is.

[He looks directly at the device again before pointing wildly at the pod he had escaped from.]

I-I-I woke up in that...that thing!

[He has the white box clutched tightly under his arm because he assumed that the rest of the items within it were important. At least the hologram that he encountered said that they were important. He had found the phone and decided to at least put out an all call.]

[A very calm and reassuring voice]

Hallo. Don't worry. You're going to be alright. And yes - you woke up in a pod.

How are you?

[commanderspecs]

How am I? How am I?

[he's hyperventilating]

[borntolove]

[Calm voice]

Breathe. Keep breathing. Slow deep breathe.

[As he continues to run over]

Did you read the pamphlets?

[Enis sounds bored, tired and a little bit like she doesn't care. The only fact that counters the droll sound of her voice is that she is responding to him which means that she's ready to help if she can.]

[commanderspecs]

I read the pamphlet. I saw the hologram. I just--I just--

[He's still trying to wrap his head around all of it]

[blindpuppet]

Breath.

[Enis spoke in a calm voice.]

Start with how you're feeling. Try and ask one question at a time and I'll see what I can do.

Hello, sir.

We all woke up here all of sudden, you are in Genessia. It's a different world form your own and while you are here, the time in your home-world freezes.

For the record, I'm aware of how crazy that explanation sounds. It's still the truth.

[commanderspecs]

Different world?!

[He's not shrieking]

[initia_nova]

[Sure he isn't. The same way Scott isn't wincing.]

Yes, different world. Did you see the hologram or the pamphlets? They explain the basics.

It's not as bad as it looks like, I promise you will be okay.

[redarrowqueen]

[Its a stretch but Thea makes the leap.]

Does the place Starling City mean anything?

[commanderspecs]

Yes! That’s where the Hood is!

[redarrowqueen]

[Hope!]

Does the name Oliver Queen mean anything?

[rando_dork]

Oh yeah, the freaky pod things. Aren't they awesome?

It was like getting abducted by aliens.

[commanderspecs]

Awesome?! They're not awesome! Have we been abducted?! What--is this--are you working for Zoom?!

[rando_dork]

How is it not awesome? It's like out of a movie.

Kind of sorta. That's what hologram said when I got here. It's pretty darn vague.

Zoom? Never heard of him.

[spacepeterpan]

Yes of course you were in a thing you're always in a thing, well, I s'pose not if you're in the void of space, unless you feel that that counts.

[The Doctor's face goes almost immediately from "wtf are you talking about" to "ah yes well let's think about this."]

Although you wouldn't be there for very long.

[...and then remembers those are the noises panicking humans make, and flashes a reassuring smile.]



No worries, though, you're safe, well, safe as anyone really is anywhere, and only as kidnapped as the rest of us, which... in fairness is more than a little bit kidnapped, but not so much in the "thrown in a van" sort of way, and probably more like "thrown through a rift into an artificial pocket universe" sort of way, although I'm still working on the details, hello, I'm the Doctor, and you are...?

[commanderspecs]

[FINALLY! Someone who looks relatively normal! That relieves him. A tiny bit. Barely.]

I'm Doctor Barry Allen. I'm with the Central City Police Department. We're in a pocket universe?! Is there a way to get back?!

[Video];

[thesavior]

Hi There! Take a deep breath okay?

[commanderspecs]

I will not take a deep breath! I need to get back right now!

[Video]

[youfool]

Certainly can't! Well, I've a theory, but it's very dreary. I'm afraid you're stuck with us for the time being. On the positive side, most posit that your absence is very, very slight. The ones that would hypothetically miss you won't have a sliver of a chance!

Hah, so you've had the same rude awakening the rest of us did. Ah well; welcome to Genessia anyway! What's your name?

[commanderspecs]

Doctor Barry Allen. Where the heck is this? How the heck do I get home?! Who are you?!

[inthedriversseat]

[ Woah, cute nerd. Upset cute nerd. She can totally handle this. Maybe. ]

Hey there. Take a deep breathe, okay? This is super weird and creepy and it only gets creepier the more you think about it, but you're as safe as you can be, having been kidnapped and all. Working yourself into a panic won't get you back to your wife faster.

[commanderspecs]

What's the ransom? Who are you?!

[whiteas]

[ Well this guy sure doesn't have his anything together. And everyone else is telling him to breathe so she's just going to be straight with him. ]

If we knew how to get home, I wouldn't have ended up here for three and a half years. [ Not that she hasn't changed her attitude now.. but if it were that easy, a while ago she definitely would have. ]

[commanderspecs]

Three and a half years?!
