Heres a question for you then. If Flash isn't travelling at light speed what speed does he travel it? Its entirely plausible then when hes not travelling at lightspeed hes moving as fast as Quicksilver, Speed Demon or Northstar.
that's not the point. at all, regardless of whether i agree with you or not. ds had prep.
except that he could be travelling that fast if it means dodging their attacks. attacks he'll see in slow motion.
he's probably faster. he's reactive. he'll move fast enough to dodge anything that comes his way. he's not getting physically hit by anyone slower than him. there isn't any plot to help the others out here.
Bada and I covered this when we wrote the rules on CIP. Characters aren't going to act like idiots and let themselves get hit (bar someone like Superman, and even then it's only to a point). Flash going 99% of lightspeed will still be far too fast for the others to hit, especially as he'll be attacking them too at some point.
The feats, his personality and the rules all support that.
