Barry Allen
This is Barry - you know what to do from here right?
If I'm not answering I'm probably at the clinic.

I was talking to Eve. And I thought she would be able to relate since we've spoken a little bit when I first got here. She said there was a way for me to make sure that you and your father are safe when I go home.
no subject
Oh no no no.
Panic settles in, wrapping steel bands around his chest.] Oh god.
Mom what did you do?
no subject
Don't worry! Leonard pointed me in the direction of someone to help me with this. And I promise, right after that, I'll come see you.
no subject
I did that once and god.. god I ruined so many lives. I hurt so many people that I cared about and I didn't even mean to. Even if you find some way around it, you can't come home. You can't change the way things unfold.
no subject
[That was not something they talked about in their talk. Changed the timeline?! Nora takes a breath before responding. She could ruin his life. It sounded like a really good life too.]
I need to let that night happen. For you to be able to be who you are now. But Barry, if Eobard is really trying to kill you and Henry, and I'm given this opportunity to stop him from hurting either of you, I need to take it.
no subject
Even here he's still screwing things up. Awesome.] He didn't hurt Dad. Thawne.
That was Zoom. Another speedster. [A strangled sob.] You're both dead because people wanted to hurt me. It's my fault. It's all my fault. [Even Savitar. It's guilt that he's never learned how to let go of.]
no subject
Oh my beautiful boy...it's not your fault.
[her heart is breaking. For him. For herself. She doesn't know how it happens. She doesn't know any of this. Or if it truly is Barry's fault. But she could say it now.]
Listen to me, Barry, none of that is your fault. Those people made those decisions. You didn't do anything to cause them to do that. I know you didn't. You're my son. You wouldn't cause so much pain on purpose.
no subject
But it is.
I couldn't save him.
I couldn't save you.
[A ragged sob.] I love you Mom. Please please be careful.
no subject
[Her heart is breaking but she can't see him yet.]
I love you too, Barry...there might be a way for me to save me so you don't need to. If this is exactly what I think it is, then...then there might be a way to keep the timeline and I could live.

[Her heart is breaking and Nora is not doing a very good job of holding back her own tears]
Barry...oh my beautiful boy. I--
[She can't hold this from him. She needs to hold him, see him.]
Leonard told me to go see a friend of yours. Cisco. Would you like to meet me there? You could tell me more about this? Maybe we can work something out.
no subject
Go see Cisco. He'll help.
I'll be all right.
no subject
Barry...
[She knows that move. She's used it plenty of times herself.]
I want you there. With me. If you're not busy.
no subject
Okay I'll.. I'll be over soon. [Once he's done with his overall freakout is good, right?
Right.]
no subject
I love you. I'm so sorry.
[Worst. Mother. Ever.]
no subject
It's gonna be okay. We'll make it okay somehow.
no subject
We will. All of us will. And this was my choice, Barry, all right?
[She's trying to remain strong for him.]
