"Isn't that kind of... not near Greece at all though? I mean, your mom, she's Greek. Right? Amazons are from there." Barry puts his hands in his pockets with his eyebrows raised. He rocks forward on the balls of his feet, then back. He can't stand still. Some part of him is always moving. "Wow. That's... impressive. I didn't know Alfred talked a whole lot."
Usually he's there to make one line remarks about Wayne. Which, hey, it's funny. Barry isn't going to complain.
"Okay. So, are we taking the slow way then? I can, I mean. If you want to."
"I think the theory there is it's easier to keep it hidden," Evie replies with a faint smile on her face. "If it's not where people suspect it might be."
It makes sense to her. Hide it where people wouldn't consider looking. Keep her extended family safe. Keep Themyscira safe. That's kind of a big thing for Evie; keeping the people she cares for safe.
She turns to look at him for a moment, considering the choice and then she nods. "I don't see why not."
She can understand, to a degree, how he's feeling. To the barest degree. Evie likes to keep busy and keep in motion, herself. She's not the best at sitting still. But she's also aware that Barry's abilities make things extra difficult for him.
So she gives him the address of the place, tells him there's an alley just to the side if he wants to keep his cover.
"...how are we doing this?" Is she getting picked up? What's the deal?
It didn't really, but, he'd go with it. He understood keeping the identities secret and pretending to be something he isn't. Hell, who would believe a kid became faster than light because he got struck by lightning? Not many. No one really believed Batman was real, but they all knew Superman was by the end of that day in Metropolis.
"I don't really do normal speed well - anymore?" Barry shakes his head but turns on his heel and motions for her to walk with him. He'll just bounce as he walks - or something. "Uh, I figured we'd walk? If that's okay. Unless you were going to call Alfred or something."
"Walking is fine," Evie states, but she's sort of watching her friend with concern. Walking doesn't look like it's all too much fun for him, but she'll let him decide when he's had enough.
"I was going to go with whatever you suggested," she states after a moment, tucking her hands in the pockets of her jacket to keep them warm. "We should have brought Phoebe. She adores you and would have kept you moving more." Because nothing's better than watching a Tibetan Mastiff in the snow with a terrible case of the Zoomies.
It's more that walking is slow. Everything is slow to Barry, so, he does his best not to make a big deal out of it. He knows the world seems to have slowed down after his powers kicked in. A side effect, probably. An annoying one. Because it made social interactions like this difficult.
"I'd probably move too fast for her after a few minutes," there's a sad note in his voice then. "Not that she'd probably mind--but, ice? Not really a good idea with super speed."
