Flash: Do All The Things

You know, I think I'm gonna change my OK Cupid profile to say "currently looking to date Earth 2 version of Harrison Wells."  Because I love that man. 

 "Nothing in life is promised except death."

"Edgar Allen Poe?"

"Kanye West."

We could live together in a house near his super-collider, and keep Cisco as our house boy...

I could teach Wells to let go--to give his daughter a little more freedom.  To trust her more, so that their bond would stay strong.

At some point, we would take Cisco dancing, just to be able to watch that glory.  OMG.

 I could watch this on loop forever.

And we would lock Iris and Barry in our attic and refuse to let them out until they finally GOT ON WITH IT ALREADY.  DAMN.

Seriously, Jessie?  You've had a father for what, 18 years now?  You don't know that he would kill to keep you safe?  What the fuck, are you the most oblivious child on the planet?  OF COURSE HE WOULD. 

IRIS... YOU JUST ASKED YOUR BOSS OUT.  And you didn't even notice.  You asked him out BY ACCIDENT.

I love you, Harrison, in all your magnificent flawed perfection.

So don't be like me.  Be better.

Cisco, the crazy ones all name themselves because they share a common thread with your DNA.  Ruminate on that next time you think about exploring your Vibe powers.

Oh, Iris.  Now you've hurt his feelings.  And that man does not deserve to have his feelings hurt.  He is a journalist with an actual sense of integrity and ethics.  There's not that many of them around.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HOW MANY MORE TERRIBLE THINGS IS HE GOING TO DO TO PROTECT YOU? 
ALL OF THEM. 

He will do all the terrible things.  Literally all of of them--if he has to--because you are his daughter.  Good grief, child do you not understand the concept of being a parent?  Harrison Wells will set the world on fire and watch it burn if it means your safety and well being.  Get over it. 

Awwwww, I am torn between being happy that Iris's lovely, ethical boss is gonna get some of that, and being disappointed that we have yet ANOTHER road block to Iris and Barry finally GETTING ON WITH THINGS, FOR FUCKS SAKE.

 Gotta say, though.  That is one handsome plot device.

Wow.  Barry.  Wow.  Way to keep racking up the evil mentors.

You know, let's just assume the following from now on:  some random person shows up and tries to help Barry, he is actually somehow the bad guy in disguise.  The only ones you can trust are the ones who come kicking and screaming.  Voluntary assistance is the sure sign of evil.
