Scott is kind of a mess on his own but Barry's always around to get him back on track, be it with Scott's ADHD making it difficult to focus on classwork or with going to the Sci-Fi club with him so he won't be on his own around unfamiliar people. nobody's surprised when they started dating, but they all pretended to be anyway
Scott is Barry's classmate, and they quickly became good friends. He helps Scott out with notes and studying, and started going to the Sci-Fi Club with him to help him be more comfortable. They spend a lot of time hanging out outside of class, too, and when Scott eventually asks him out one day, Barry is more than happy to say yes!
In Future Ashe's timeline, Vent was successfully de-roboticized... but, as a result, wasn't able to deal the final blow. He walked away from that encounter alive and well, but years down the line it ended up putting himself and his family in danger with him unable to do anything to stop it.
"Regular" Vent tells everyone that he's okay with his lot in life, but with the appearance of Future Ashe it's starting to hit home that he may have missed his one and only chance.
regardless of timeline, Vent is Ashe's other dad. Future Ashe's feelings about Vent are EXTREMELY COMPLICATED: he loves him, but also Vent still being roboticized without Ashe's intervention makes him feel redundant. How's he supposed to save this world's future if it's not in danger to begin with?
regardless of timeline, Aile is one of Ashe's dads and he inherited a fair amount of snark from him. Ashe feels extremely awkward whenever talking to him.
"kid Ashe" is the main timeline version of "future Ashe". he doesn't know about future Ashe (its a confusing and depressing story), but was named after him in a sense and, when you get down to it, they do have the same core personality. is it reincarnation if your alternate timeline self died so you could exist?
"future Ashe" is the doomed timeline version of "kid Ashe"; hailing from an alternate future where Vent was successfully deroboticized before the final showdown against Brenlo, he got sent back by his versions of Vent and Aile in a risky attempt to protect him from the oncoming apocalypse.
