He's my cousin. And trust me, he's really only cool in theory.
[ Excitement disappearing, he deflates at that somewhat, and there's suddenly a slightly bitter tone in his voice. It's not just the compliment to Wally that got to him though. It's the fact that Robbie doesn't know who the Flash is. There is no chance that someone from his world that works with other heroes hasn't heard of the Flash. ]
But if you don't know who the Flash is then, either you were stuck in virtual reality a good portion of your life, or...you must be from a different universe.
[ He chews at the edge of his lip a little as he tries to think this through. Because...that doesn't exactly sound like it's NOT Max. Maybe it was the Max from whatever universe Robbie came from, and he stayed Quicksilver there? But then again, who's to say Max couldn't have ended up in an alternate universe at some point. Ultimately Max had kept a lot of his past close to his chest. He knew some of it sure, but there were plenty of gaps. And adding his penitent for time travel into the mix, things just get confusing. ]
Is he an older guy? Or wait...if he's going by Quicksilver he might not be. But if...nonono if he's younger he'd be brunet. Unless this is some weird alternate universe thing...
[ Running a hand through his hair, he tugs on it a bit in irritation the more he works himself up.
Did it really even matter in the first place? An alternate universe Max wouldn't really be Max. And if this was some younger version of him doing some universe hopping stuff he hadn't heard about, what then? What good did that information do him? Would he find a way to hop into this guys universe and warn Max about the future? Something Max had very adamantly warned him against ever doing. Yeah, that would just be brilliant.
Maybe it was best to just not know in the first place. ]

Actually, nevermind. Stupid thing to ask about.
