All I am waiting for to really introduce my character and show which side he starts on is if someone picks up the gun..... some hilarity might ensue, some not-so hilarious actions are equally viable. 

Leo's gonna survive gasoline (ignition temperature 280 Celsius), I don't think he needs any help.

Gasoline ignites at 280, but it can burn much hotter. Plus, even if that doesn't kill him, he's sitting next to a much larger gas canister. Leo is effectively fireproof, but he is certainly not explosion-proof.

RETCON TIME
but seriously though, if Rochester has anything to say about it, Leo will be given all the help he needs on any little rampages he might have.

Rochester is going to actively support Leo's villainous behavior, instead of just sitting back and enjoying the publicity?

Minor arson attacks aren't enough, friend. Leo needs to be nudged towards doing something big in the future, so that Rochester can not only be re-elected as senator, but eventually run for governor and even president. The Non-Super Normie revolution has begun.

If James saw Leo, I'm not even sure he would bother to rescue him.

I thought he was Chaotic Good sometimes? That is a horrible time to not be Chaotic Good.

And this is why I dislike the DnD alignment system.

James is Chaotic Good to his own value system, in a way. In this case, whether or not he decides to save Leo depends on the likelihood of his rescue mission going wrong. He has no protection against fire, so he isn't reasonably certain that he isn't going to die/get injured/get exposed. On the other hand, he does heavily value life (being a transhumanist and such) and so he might be more willing to help save the kid.

Edit: To put it into other terms, there are three outcomes:

• James successfully rescues Leo without dying/gettting exposed/etc: Best case scenario, James can continue doing good in the world and another human can continue to live
• James fails and both of them die: Worst case scenario, James can no longer do good in the world (and neither can Leo, from James' point of view), and two human lives are lost (and cannot be cryopreserved)
• James dies but Leo escapes: not really a good situation for James, because then he'd be dead and can no longer do good in it

If James were to drive by the gas station, probabilities of these outcomes would quickly be running through his head as he chooses what he should do.

I like that reasoning. The character alignment is supposed to be a guide, not a chain.

I gotta ask, is Barry OP modern flash who can literally stop time and reverse it? Or is it more classic flash like "yeehaw I'm goin fast!"?

Can't stop/reverse time. That's to OP... More like "gotta go fast!" with some more modern features (see powers for more info).

I had quite a time trying to parse through the Flash's powers to see what he could and couldn't do.

You can always start another storyline as we wait.

True. I'll do something.

Also, in case you all were wondering, yes. I did have a bad day when I wrote Leo's first post.

Hydra's character is now to only be referred to as "Speed-Guy" from now on.
