Did you know?

Did I know what?

[There's so much he knows that he hasn't told Barry here. It could be any of a dozen things that would get Barry angry at him.]

That Zoom gets my speed because he takes Wally. I'm not sure I want to know what other whats you thought I meant.

[ Spoilers: Barry is angry and sad and basically if there's a negative emotion, he's probably feeling it right now. He's also wanting to scream in the middle of nowhere Texas. ]

[Oh. That. Well, in the grand scheme of things that have happened...okay, that one is pretty up there, but at least they haven't gotten to Harrison's betrayal yet.]

Yes, I knew. You gave it up to get Wally back. It worked.

[As if that makes it better.]

I would hope it worked seeing as if it didn't, I would repeatedly murder Zoom right at this second for something that hasn't happened to either one of us yet.

[ He is not actually kidding when he says that. So what if the Wally at home isn't the Wally he's spent a little over a year with. There's still a connection at home and you know what, he's just done with Zoom and his stuff. ]

You didn't tell me. None of you told me until Caitlin did. Cisco, I'll give a pass seeing as he's from before this happened, but if you knew and Caitlin knew you both didn't tell me. Should I guess I don't have my speed back? That I'm back to Barry Allen, not so fastest man alive?

Barry. I was going to tell you. But I was going to WAIT. When I first arrived you barely wanted to see me at all, let alone hear anything I had to say about what had happened back home. Was I just supposed to cherry-pick which events to tell you about?

[Oh, Caitlin might hear about this later.]

I have a plan to get your speed back, Barry, but they brought me here before I could implement it, so yes, I suppose while I'm here you're still without your speed at home, and how has it helped you to know just that? If you want to know, I'll tell you, but not like this, I'm not writing it all out.

I don't know! But now instead of all my bad news in one week, it's drawn out into the whole month and I am...There wasn't going to be a good time. By the time there would be a good time, I'd bet good money that the porter would port me out.

[ Actually, that will be what happens, but hey, he doesn't know that. ]

I don't know if I want to know. I don't know if I want to know just how messed up my life gets. I thought I had died from the way Caitlin was acting. So, yay, I didn't die. But this happens. I kind of just want to pretend nothing happened. Nothing is the matter. That would be a good plan. I like that plan after this.

[The next one takes a little while to arrive, maybe long enough for Barry to think Harrison has stopped answering.]

You've done so much for me. For us, for me and Jesse. In the last few months. I didn't deserve all of it. I found a way to siphon your speed and I passed it to Zoom, not all of it, only 2%, but it was enough. I couldn't do it to you, and I wanted to go back to Earth-2 and seal the breaches, but you wouldn't let me. You came with me to rescue Jesse, Barry, you and Cisco, and I can never

[Another pause. Probably agony for a speedster, waiting for him to finish.]

You're right. I should have told you.

[ There is literally an hour before Barry responds to either text. ]

I said I didn't want to know. I

[ It's another fifteen minutes before he continues. It's agony to wait, to try and not say the first things that are coming to his mind but he can do it. He's an adult and honestly, if Harrison is willing to admit this to him, then he's not Eobard. He's not Zoom. He's just a man who did something he's ashamed of. ]

Zoom isn't...wasn't just your problem. He's our problem. I don't...I'm not going to pretend I know why you did that for Zoom. Even if there's a part of me that wants to bet Jesse was involved because if he made me give up my speed for Wally, it wouldn't surprise me if he bullied you into doing that for Jesse.

I'm mad at you. I am and I know I've lived through this for you and probably have already forgiven you if I helped you with Jesse, but I am a little mad right now.

Jesse's okay, right? We didn't just go there and fail, I'm assuming. That would be good news you could tell me. I'd enjoy hearing that news.

Jesse's fine, she's fine. We got her back safe. She and Wally are getting along awfully well.

[Too well, his dad sense pings every time they're in the same room, and he's pretty sure Joe's has been going off too, but they've had other things to focus on. That inescapable daughter cube is still looking like a nice option occasionally though.]

She's here too. We're both at Heropa 10. And she has wings. She doesn't have wings at home. She's still getting used to them, but they can carry her. It's a little surreal.

[Not a word about Barry being mad at him. Barry should be mad at him. He's still mad at himself, even if the Barry where he's from had long since forgiven him for it.]

They'd be a nice couple. Probably.

[ Forget that the Wally at home is not like the one here, and he shouldn't be applying his thoughts about Wally on theirs. It's silly, and yet he's still doing it. ]

She's here? OKAY. I will accept this as great news. Wait. Are they like Hawkgirl wings?

[ Barry sees Harrison avoiding talking about it, but he's not going to comment on it. Not. Right at this second. ]

[No one is good enough for Jesse, but Wally is admittedly fairly high on the list of people who would be acceptable if anyone would be acceptable. Harrison doesn't know the Wally here, though, he'd be starting from square one :|]

She seems to have them all the time, unlike Kendra, but otherwise they are. Some kind of bird of prey, but cream and rust colored. They look like home, like Earth-2. Right, you haven't seen Earth-2 yet. We have different light. No idea why yet. I haven't exactly had the time to look into it.

[ Harrison, if Barry's vouching for them— actually no that'd be a bad idea. Barry is an idiot who trusts bad people. ]

Differences in universes? I mean makes sense that beyond just situations there'd be a way to distinguish them. Thanks for telling me that you have a pretty colored world.

And I mean if she's going to have wings might as well have them as her world's colors. Distinguishes her as being not from around here. Even though you know the wings kind of give it away too. She knows who I am, right? Me saying hi wouldn't be weird?

It wouldn't be weird. She knows you, you're friends. You helped save her life, of course she'd be happy to see you. Although you might want to mention that YOU haven't done that yet. You'll get to see my world for yourself. It's one of the highlights. Although maybe I'm biased. I could tell you stories about your Earth-2 doppelganger though. Wow.

[Are they going to talk about things eventually? Y...es, probably, sure, but not right now. Probably better in person anyway.]

Will do. Just so she's not expecting me to fully know what she's like. IT's good to prepare her for these things ahead of time.

...Bad stories? Stories that make me horrified that's my doppelganger?

You should be horrified. He's a bigger nerd than you are. I didn't think it was possible. It was embarrassing.

How?

Also, I don't think you're allowed to call me a nerd when you built a particle accelerator. Since that would make you the king of nerds in this situation.

King nerd? I can live with that. You're a nerd but when your double met me in person, wow. I don't think you've ever made a sound like that in your life. You should see this guy. Well, you will see this guy eventually.

Oh no. You...didn't see me when I met what I thought was you in my world. It was embarrassing. I EVEN READ HIS BIOGRAPHY.

I dragged Iris to hear him speak.

I read his biography too. That was weird. Aw. What a terrible date idea. I take it back. You're both nerds.

Didn't you write your own? How was it any weirder than that.

We weren't. Okay. I realize that maybe this is very unclear, but we weren't dating. I've never dated Iris and if you tell me that on your Earth I am married to her, I am going to consider begging the porter to bring her here so I can have some backup in the WE REALLY AREN'T DATING EVEN THOUGH MAYBE WE LOVE EACH OTHER A LOT comments.

You try reading a biography of not-you that's close but not quite the same as yours. Okay. I won't tell you about that part. She's a cop in my world by the way.
