[Does Barry look okay? No. No he does not. He's hanging on by his damn fingernails and after dropping the kids off he calls his brother because he has to talk to someone who understands what he's going through.]
I need someone to talk to. I know it's not your favorite thing in the world but you're the only one who might understand right now and I can't put any more on Cisco, he feels shitty enough as it is after what happened with the domes.
[Savitar will even slow it down to get there, so he's not waiting expectantly for Barry to arrive. Rubbing it in about his speed, not exactly his style.
...well. Not anymore.
When they arrive, he'll lead them into the pizza place, so they can eat and talk. ]
Hey. [Barry is grateful for the small favor of showing up at normal speeds. This wasn't the same as when he sacrificed his speed to save Wally, this is like losing a limb and it hurts so much.] Thanks.
[He gets it and Barry is relieved that on some levels they understand one another so well.] It feels like it is. [Barry rubs his wrist absently, there's a sensation of something missing that he's never been able to shake.] I keep trying to call it but it's just not there.
Yeah. [A weary sound as he pinches the bridge of his nose.] I can't stop seeing him, I can't stop hearing what he said, what he did and I know it wasn't him but it was. [And now he may never feel the touch of the speed force, he may never get to run with his children like that.]
[That's a fairly good point and he nods wearily.] Yeah, yeah maybe you're right. I don't want him to hate himself for what happened because I know it wasn't him, not really.
So we try that. [And it takes Barry a bit to describe what he did and how he did it. They're probably going to have fits and starts and it might not even work.
But it's better than simply sitting around and hoping his speed would come back.]

Are you busy?

I didn't know who else to talk to about this.

Is it permanent, do you know? [ Because if so, maybe he can do something about that. With the stone, or something else. ]

[He sits back and rubs his eyes because he's exhausted trying to hold things together.] I wish we could just forget what happened.

I know. I'm worried about him and losing my connection to the speed force [Barry scrubs at his face again and breathes slowly.] it hasn't helped.
Let's run the tests, see what we can find? We should find out, one way or the other.

I was able to share a bit of my speed with Cait and Cisco, if you could do that maybe it could jump start the connection?

[He's hopeful that it'll work.]

[Barry offers his hand and he waits. He hope. Cisco didn't mean to sever his connection and he wants the Speed Force to find him again.]
