003 || [video]
Hello, again. For those who may not know me, my name is Sharon Carter. Back home, I was a government agent. I know everyone's busy with the cold and the disappearances, so I'll try not to take as little of your time as possible.
In short, if you know anything about the killings in recent months, I'd like to speak with you.

[And true to his word, he shows up at the specified place only three minutes late.]
action
Mr. Allen. Thank you for coming.
action
Sorry for being late. [The words are rote, said so easily there's an implication he's said them numerous times before.] Thank you for setting up this meeting. I haven't been able to find out much on my own.
action
The pleasure's all mine. I've only been able to find two victims, but both refuse to talk about it much. I'm a couple days away from prowling around the turtle waiting to be attacked. Any information you can offer would help.
action
[He sighs, running a hand through his hair in frustration. So much for a background in the criminal sciences.]
I don't have any leads but I might have a hunch on the skillset that was used by the perpetrator.

I'd appreciate it if this was kept as much off the books as possible.
[And he has absolutely no desire to see Clark get pulled in more then he already is. That being said, he shifts fully into detective mode and starts listing what he does know.]
The murders occurred during the week that things went haywire, so to speak. Ages were swapped, bodies swapped—more importantly, powers were also swapped. Are you familiar with Kryptonians, Agent Carter?
action
She listens, and as he speaks, she actually looks relieved. Bodies being swapped. That's good. It means the person might not actually be a speedster. ]
I'm not, no.
action
They have a rather extensive power set. Superstrength, superspeed, keenly enhanced senses, just to name a few. There are, to my knowledge, three Kryptonians currently residing here. [The relevance of this fact is explained with his next few sentences.] During that week, two of the three Kryptonians lost their powers to someone else. One of those power sets was located in a close friend; the other was never found.
[Barry glances at Sharon, done recounting.]
I can't say for sure whether or not the perpetrator might have come into possession of those powers, but given the fact that someone with those powers is nearly invincible, it seems like a likely candidate with which to start.
action
She keeps her features calm, though, trying to give no indication of her thoughts. ]
And it sounds as if whoever got the invincibility powers took advantage of them to kill people.
[ She worries her bottom lip with her teeth for a couple seconds. ]
Is there a list of who got what power?
action
[Bruce would but...the two of them don't particularly associate much in their civilian identities. That, and a list of power swaps isn't exactly the type of the millionaire and playboy Bruce Wayne would have just lying around.]
action
That's all right. I'll do some digging and see what I can find. In the meantime, do you mind if I ask you some questions and try to eliminate you as a suspect?
action
Not at all.

action
The week the powers went haywire because of the spell, what happened with you? Did you get anything? Lose anything?
action
The only thing that happened to me was an apparent de-aging; my body reverted back to that of a ten year old but I retained all of my memories and life experiences.
action
Is there anyone who could verify that?
action
[Bart could too but Barry would prefer, for the time being, to maintain his civilian identity and there's nothing civilian — or at least normal — about a man in his mid-thirties with a teenage grandson. A teenage grandson with an unfortunate tendency to run his mouth much too often, at that.]
action
[ She can double-check it later. ]
And you were de-aged for the entire week and all three can verify that?
action
Not the entire week. It wasn't until the morning of the second day after I'd woken up as a child. That lasted the rest of the week. If you need confirmation of that, I spoke to Bruce Wayne on the first day.
