Okay. I won't apologize for that any more. I guess I'm not really used to leaning on other people. I don't like being a burden. You know, you can just call it dating, for short. Less words. That's not tooNope, not making this a thing And you've made it pretty clear I can lay it on you any time.
You're right. I wonder sometimes what would have happened in the original timeline, before Wells went back and killed my mother, but I don't know. I mean...I'm the person I am because of my experiences. Because of the stuff I lost and because I was raised by Joe. I know I would have married Iris and become the Flash later, but I don't know what kind of person I would have been. I saw another version of myself once and he...he wouldn't have been strong enough to do this. And I'm not sure it would have been worth it. I may not have my mother, but I know she'd be proud of the choices I've made.
Being the Flash makes me happy. Helping people. Knowing I'm doing good. But being here does too. Not having all of that weight on me. Knowing I'm not responsible for everything. And this. This thing with you. It makes me happy. It's not something I ever really expected, but you make me happy.
Hey. You tried and that's what matters. I know it sucks. But you tried to save your dad, even after everything he did to you. And I know it wasn't really about him, but you still did. And you tried to protect Lisa. And you could have been selfish and only worried about yourself, but you didn't. And I know you, and I know you did everything you could in your life to keep her safe. You are a much better person than you give yourself credit for. And that doesn't mean you're a good person by the definition of some limited morality. You're a thief and you're a liar and you do what you need to do in order to survive. But you're also an amazing person and there's nothing wrong with who you are. I know I talk about how you can do more with your life but I wouldn't actually want to change you. I like you exactly the way you are. I just want you to see that you are good.
That's the best plan I've heard all day. And after dinner, maybe we can Netflix and chill. But maybe I won't leave the Flash out of it entirely. I do need to show you just how fun my speed can be, now that I can get a leg up on you.
