[The anger was slowly starting to fade, but Barry was still upset. He meant what he told Cisco, they'd find Leonard Snart, and stop him. Barry shrugged. What was there to say?]
[Harrison looks down at his hands unsure where to go with this. He had to see Felicity Smoak again and deal with betrayal from Cisco to boot. He is not doing well either.]
Barry all I want is to keep you safe. That's all I've ever wanted.
[Barry made a face. He was starting to believe that, until the things at the lab had started to unravel. If someone thought they'd need protection against him, exactly how special was he again?]
The world will always need heroes Barry. In fact one day there will be a
League of them. Men and women from around the world who come together when
one hero is not enough.
I'm just telling you what I know is safe to tell you. Because well I heard
it in detail myself. And I can't tell you who told me because we aren't
there yet.
Hopefully soon, it breaks my heart to keep things from you Barry it truly
does. And one day a long time from now you will understand this for
yourself.
Oh lord so much guilt and anger on Harrison's part gahh.
Barry is torn.
And now we have to wait for the next episode booo
Barry all I want is to keep you safe. That's all I've ever wanted.
The 11th is too far away! S'not fair.
[Barry didn't forget that either.]
I know!
Barry...I didn't create you out of some selfish need. I don't like weapons, haven't for a long time.

Hating something doesn't mean you still won't do it. To protect the human race, people go to all sorts of lengths. Why wouldn't you?
[Don't mind Barry, he's totally thinking about X-Men comic books right now.]
no subject
[Harrison has gone to those lengths already but he isn't going to mention it, not with Barry so raw right now.,]
Because my aim is to protect you not hurt you Barry. You are important to me and the world.
no subject
Right. Okay.
no subject
[Harrison wheels closer.]
What can I do to convince you Barry. Not just the team, what can I do to earn your trust back.
no subject
no subject
If I told you some of it would that help? I can't tell you the most important thing...not yet...I'm not ready. But I can tell you a few things.
no subject
[He's trying to sound as disinterested as possible.]
no subject
There is more than one Flash in the future Barry. including you there are three others. One of whom is your grandson.
[Harrison smiles warmly]
I knew him.
no subject
Uh, Dr. Wells?
no subject
[And here it comes Harrison does that little head tilt thing that pairs so well with his Mona Lisa smile.]
Yes Barry?
no subject
I thought you said... my grandson? And more than one Flash? What, do I learn how to clone, too?
[He lightly scoffed.]
no subject
No you inspire others to join you. Wally West was the second Flash, Bart Allen is the third and Jason Garrick will be the fourth and final Flash.
All good men who gained the power of the Speed Force in different ways.
no subject
Well... I'm glad others keep doing it. It's sad that the world still needs superheroes, but it's good that people keep getting saved.
[After all, that's what Barry wants. To save people.]
no subject
The world will always need heroes Barry. In fact one day there will be a League of them. Men and women from around the world who come together when one hero is not enough.
[Harrison smiles his secret smile.]
In fact one of them isn't exactly a man.
no subject
[Barry gets a hint of a smile on his face. He's still skeptical, but... hearing Dr. Wells try to explain things relaxes him slightly.]
Maybe you shouldn't be telling me too much of this. I want to know, but knowing too much...
no subject
I'm just telling you what I know is safe to tell you. Because well I heard it in detail myself. And I can't tell you who told me because we aren't there yet.
no subject
Okay... When will we be there?
no subject
Hopefully soon, it breaks my heart to keep things from you Barry it truly does. And one day a long time from now you will understand this for yourself.
