…Rowan? Since when did Barry start working with Professor Rowan? The last time he talked with Barry about the Professor, he was calling the older professor ‘Bushy Stache’ or something like that…and that didn’t seem to long ago for him. Did Lucas wander into some alternate universe in which Barry was the assistant?

"…Rowan?" The confusion was clearly evident in his face.

You cock your head, confused by Lucas’ own confusion. You could have sworn Lucas knew that. Yeah, he did! He was the first person you told. Weird. Maybe it just slipped his mind?

“…well, yeah. Professor Rowan started letting me intern with him about a year ago, remember? Since y'know, Dawn went off to college and stuff.”

Both Dawn and Lucas were about a year old than you. Dawn has graduated high school and was off to Canalave University and Rowan wanted another intern to help him out. Of course, you still have a year to go before you graduated and you were more than happy to spend your time helping out the professor. After all, he had helped you get on your journey.
