I knew you'd like it. I thought long and hard on who could go good with Lightning on RR and while Jo, Tyler, Scott and Lindsay(lolz) would have been good for him, we wouldn't really know who he is. Hell I even heard a theory that why Lightning uses that nickname and not his real name Rudolph is because his dad would call him that if he messes up or loses. So he would think the name Rudolph is for losers and calls himself Lightning to feel like a winner. Whenever he does so, his dad calls him Lightning instead of Rudolph which helps on furthering Lightning's confidence and ego in himself and in the name which is why he always talks in third person about himself. If he stands up to his dad and shows him he's a champ on his own, his dad would finally respect him as his son and equal by calling him Rudolph but this time it wouldn't be in a condescending way. Lightning would then start using his real name more often. Perfect way to explore Lightning and could get his haters to shut up about him not having depth.
