Where did you get off telling me not to mess with one day when you're shrugging like that over fifteen years of my life alone and I don't know the years in between now and when you exist? [ Barry's mouth is just open in sheer annoyance. It's hard to believe that he can actually shrug about things like ruining people's lives. ]
You don't— you had a paper from 2024. You don't know that you helped some of those things. You might have helped Ronnie and Dr. Stein but— [ That's not true. He tries to keep speaking, tries to keep on with his indignation but all he ends up doing is imitating a fish out of water. Six extra years of helping people that otherwise wouldn't have been helped. It's not a bad thing but— it's not how it was supposed to go. It wasn't the natural order of things and if Barry's own time with changing one singular day was any indication there's no telling what bad things happened or will happen because of all the good he's been able to do. ]
Am I supposed to be thankful for that? For knowing that maybe I'll marry Iris before I was supposed to? For knowing that you killed a real person and the person they love to do something seven years early. [ He barks out a laugh. ] For someone who's telling me to practice patience, I think you might want to look at yourself.
[ Excuse you, he has not been crying. Hal's been the one crying. Barry's just been crying because Oliver doesn't know how awesome they are as a team. Get it right, okay? ]
I'm not saying thank you for this. Because I— [ Don't know if I'll get my family now. ] I would have been very fine with waiting for seven years to get my powers.
