[It isn't going to be easy to explain. But Harrison has been thinking about how to explain, how to tell Barry enough about Eobard to convince him to keep his distance if it turned out he'd need to talk about this after all, and here they are talking about it. So he might not want to, but he isn't entirely unprepared.
He calls. When Barry picks up, Harrison doesn't waste time with a greeting. He sounds tired, a little resigned, but for once, not annoyed or impatient.]
Eobard Thawne is a speedster. He traveled back in time, ran back in time. And when he got there, he lost his speed. That's complicated, I'm not going into it now, it's not important, what's important is that he knew the Flash could help him get back to his own time. You weren't the Flash yet, it was too early, but he knew you would be. So he helped make you into the Flash. That's what was just beginning when you came here. Get it?
