[ It shouldn't be strange. This isn't the Wells he grew up idolizing. This Wells might still have Tess. Barry isn't shocked, but he does give it a second to sink in, tries to wrap his head around the concept without letting Eobard's delusional comments about paternity twist it. ]
what's her name?
[ Not the only thing he wants to ask. He wants to ask if she's okay back on Earth-2, if she knows her dad is going after Zoom. But this is about tactics, not sharing. ]
[ It's not a discussion he wanted to have. It's not a discussion they've had, with it all still too raw for him. He was never one to let people in before (beyond her); the prospect seems almost impossible now. ]
[ The bad part: he'll have to find a way to bring up Jesse whenever he's feeling uncertain about who he's dealing with, and it'll probably be awkward every time. The good part: he seriously doubts Eobard could fake that kind of connection, even if he did somehow figure out the secret. ]
okay. thanks.
[ It's sincere and a bit apologetic, none of which really translates over text. Either way, dwelling doesn't seem like a good approach. ] i'll contact you and eddie as soon as i'm done with thawne.
