It'd be too much of a coincidence, wouldn't it? Same guy, same name, same superpower? My experience is pretty limited, but I just figure it's more likely it's you than a different Barry Allen.
[ Also it'd be very annoying to not be jealous of two different Barry Allens. ]

Your superheroes have interns?
[ Kind of wondering what Cisco would say if he tried to call him his intern, tbh. ]
