I didn't. Are you drunk again?

[reactant]

because drunk me would think you were calling me cute with science??
no i'm not drunk

[breacher]

That's the only explanation for

[ A thought occurs to him and he quickly scrolls up, accidentally firing that one off.

and then. ]

why

[reactant]

hey you can't fight what's in your heart on valentine's day

[ Jokes he'll regret when he realizes the shit he's sent to other people. ]

[breacher]

just delete it.

[reactant]

yeah i don't know my device is acting kind of weird, won't let me delete anything

[breacher]

Of course it is.

[reactant]

[ oh my god ]

[reactant]

[ oH MY GOD ]

[reactant]

[ ok but also that's a pretty great line lbr ]

[reactant]

scale of 1-10 how charmed was he

[breacher]

he started talking about his bad back

[reactant]

that's good right? communication's important for a healthy sex life

[ living up to the yolo tbh. ]

[breacher]

i am not going to discuss the physics of having sex on a table with you but i will point out that the line doesn't necessarily indicate the positioning and immediately hate myself for it.

[reactant]

if it's any consolation i immediately hate myself for this conversation too

still not deleting the text, though.

[breacher]

At least you're stuck with this.

It sent out several for me. To Cisco, Eddie, Thawne, and a few others.

[reactant]

thawne. not eddie thawne?

[ Of course not Eddie, it says it right there. ]

everything good?

[breacher]

[ He pauses when he gets that message, because he knows he shouldn't mess with timelines. If he's meant to know, he'll find out eventually, but Barry knows more right now. So maybe— ]

I'm going to ask you something and all I want is you to honestly answer me, "yes" or "no."

[reactant]

[ The answer's quick, no hesitation. ]

yeah, of course. go ahead.

[breacher]

Have I met Eobard Thawne before? On your Earth.

[reactant]

no.

[ Technically. That isn't a lie, because this Harry hasn't — but it still feels dishonest. ]

not yet.

[breacher]

Will I?

[ He shouldn't push it. There's nothing to be gained, but he has to know, and "not yet" — that's not enough of an answer for him. ]

Barry, please.

[reactant]

[ Barry isn't hesitant to answer, exactly. Harry deserves to know, and it might not impact anything.

But that's the problem. Just because there won't be consequences back home doesn't mean there won't be any here, and he isn't sure if knowing will make things better or worse for Harry in the meantime. Except Harry's asking, and he's probably got a reason — and there's only one other person who knows they've met. Better to hear it from Barry. ]

you will.

you met him earlier on his timeline. before he came after me and my mom. we caught him, but we had to send him back to his time.

[ He could say more. He could explain the timeline, could explain what happened to Cisco, but even typing out that much is a stretch. ]
