( part of him feels like he should run over there and gather harrison up in his arms, but a grander part is glad for the barrier of text in between their talking. it affords barry some decency he wouldn't otherwise have, some potential to be more considerate than his initial first reactions. )

she sounds like a really smart lady
i wish i could've met her
and seen you two together

( i wish i could've seen what you were like when you were happy. )

was it hard raising her on your own?
you never remarried

[Harrison is thinking along the same lines, grateful for the distance, the privacy that lets him collapse just a little at the tiny table in his kitchen for this conversation.]

I never even dated. I never saw anyone else seriously until Jay. Sometimes raising her was the most impossible thing in my life. Sometimes there was no right answer. She was so smart. I was terrified. I still am. I wish you could have met her too. She was so warm. Even when she was angry. Missing her is still a part of every day.

you dated jay???

( alright, maybe he should be. less surprised by that. but you know.

harrison has a speedster kink who knew. )

i don't have too much insight with being a parent like at all
but i've got tons of experience being a son ( he feels like he just had this conversation recently, with bruce. )
and jesse is a really smart and beautiful and talented girl
she's witty and stubborn just like her father
so i'd say you've done a pretty good job by my standards
tess would be proud

did it ever get easier?

[Oh. Right.

Jay's been on his mind ever since he'd first appeared. He'd forgotten that had never come up when he and Barry had been discussing Jay Garrick.]

It's still not easy, but it got easier when I saw how tough she was. Tough and brilliant. Just like her mother. Thank you. It means She's my world.

[And then he should probably address that...other...thing.]

'Dated' is a strong word. But. Yes. A little over a year.

you're her world too
i mean i don't know that but
joe means everything to me
yeah

it's okay
i mean ummmmm
if it's weird to talk about i don't know
just
now i'm more concerned about what caitlin said??
are you okay do you need someone??

I'm fine. I don't know. Caitlin was exhausted when she talked to me. I don't know how much to It's He can't be. I know we didn't end well, but I've seen him since he came here and he's exactly the same, he can't be.

i trust her more than i trust anyone else in the world

( and barry believes her no matter how ... kind jay garrick seems. he's learned to trust certain people more than others. )

but i understand if you don't
maybe
i could go home and check it out maybe

[And so would Harrison, if what she'd said hadn't been so difficult to even process, let alone accept.

It's Jay. It's his Jay.

It takes a long time for the answer.]

I thought he was dead. Twice, I thought Once when he disappeared to your world, and then The breach But he's here. I can't just I can't just believe he's the man who stole my daughter.

i understand

( not really. he's not sure how he could, but -- yeah. he gets it. )

please just be careful
i'm not

i don't know how to handle you putting yourself at risk all the time which i am very aware is rich coming from me but
i don't hang out with proven murderers and potential kidnappers

[Well. He's already all but admitted it to Jay himself.]

I probably loved him. That has to mean something. But if it's true I'll Thank you

oh
i see

okay
you sound like you wanna be alone so i will let you do that and stop being stressed out about whatever happened between us because we're cool now i promise
lets hang out sometime or something if you want

You still haven't come by to see my STAR Labs. You should come by.
