[Is "a lot" a satisfying answer? He wants to say yes and let it be, but he knows the answer is no. He breathes in and lets the air out, rubbing his face for a brief rare moment of visible turmoil.]
Barry, you need to understand...the, let's call it Golden Age of Heroes, got its start in the heydays of the 21st century. The Arrow is regarded as the first human hero and you the first meta-human one. [He clacks his teeth together and props up a fisted hand under his chin as he tilts his head down in thought.] You and the Arrow, and even some of his friends like The Atom and Black Canary and so on - it's only just beginning, it's very early and still developing. I predict back in our world there will be even more popping up soon in your time, depending on certain factors. I can think of names right off the bat that are set to become visible any day now.
[He says with a gentle snap of his fingers, though like hell he's going to tell any of those names to Barry.]
Now I am running under the assumption that this world, whatever it may be, can physically pull in people from infinite times, like a wormhole that leads back to this spot. So when I say "a lot"...it's not really an exaggeration. As for the different universes thing...[he lets out a self-depreciative chuckle and shakes his head, giving Barry a bemused smile] I could literally stand here all day and not even fully cover all the intricacies of it and I really don't want to subject myself to that, not today, probably not ever.
