[it's a message that he'd planned to send to a select few. but between his own shivering and the pair of dogs he's trying to keep warm, mistakes were made. thus, this network post.]

So, uh... I know we all-- We're in the same boat here. But if one of you could...

[he stops a moment to grit his teeth and try to hold back a shudder. a moment more to try and huddle down further with his only sources of heat right now.]

I know I shouldn't have gone out. But they needed a walk, and I didn't think--

[okay, going on a tangent here really isn't helping. let's try that again.]

Look, I haven't eaten since this morning, it's freezing outside, and Mick, please tell me you're listening? Cause I could really use some heat right now. [and if anyone out there had a way to set fire to snow, it'd be mick, science be damned.]

Or if anyone's around... [okay, where the hell are they?] I'm, uh-- Near Len's old place. [and if any of you judge him for that, he will hit you. or at least just grumble a lot.] I could really use a hand.

[ If he's trying to burrow closer for heat, she doesn't mind. She's still wearing her many layers, and can take it, even if his forehead is clammy under her jaw. In her head, she's ticking a few different things - his pulse, which is crazy fast, the feel of his skin, his state of consciousness. ]

[ Her voice is soft as she herds him to the bathroom, using her free hand to open the tab, full on heat, foot closing the door to keep the upcoming steam in, making the room as much of a sauna as she possibly can. She cuts off the ventilation for the time being, plugging the bathtub when the water is hot enough. She deposits Barry by the side of the bath - it's a good thing that the bathroom is actually pretty tiny, right now. ]

Hey, what if I told you something about me? Back home, I take care of people with powers. It's like, my specialty. You're in good hands, okay?
