 I don't have much time left.

Time for what?

[Barry worried about the doctor. With everything that happened that week, it could be a lot of things.]

[dr_wells]

[Harrison feels his heart skip a beat when he looks at Barry. He loves the young man so much even though it isn't really his Barry, his Flash yet. He takes a sip from his ever present mug trying to get more calories into himself.]

Barry.....I.....my health is failing.

[It wasn't an outright lie just a twist of the truth.]

[crimsonblur]

[Barry's eyes went huge. He wasn't expecting to hear that.]

Wait... what? I... I didn't know you were having health issues? I... what?

[He could only stare, dumb founded, at the other man.]

[dr_wells]

I've been hiding it from all of you because my problems should not have become yours. But...it's true...my body is failing me and I'm not sure how much time I have left.

[crimsonblur]

I... it's something you should have shared with us. Maybe we could have helped.

[Barry hesitated, watching him.]

Is there... is there anything I can do to help?

[dr_wells]

Sharing this would have changed everything far too soon Barry. It would and will change how you look at me.

[Harrison meets Barry's eyes a deep sense of sadness in his own.]

You've helped me so much Barry how can I ask you for more? I feel as though I've already asked too much.

[Every time Dr. Wells says something like that, Barry doesn't believe it. How could he have actually helped him? Barry hasn't done anything for him. He just doesn't get it. Not when Dr. Wells is the inspiring one.]

It wouldn't ever change how I look at you. You're still my mentor and friend.

[It's the curse of the time traveler something his Barry had tried to warn him about before the Crisis but Harrison hadn't listened. He knows more about Barry then Barry does and Barry one day will know more about him then Harrison will. It hurts so much.]

This will Barry....there will come a day when you will be angry with me...so angry that you'll react before you think. Are you ready for that day to be today?
