Barry Allen
"I guess you didn't care enough," you snap. Barry was late. Again. And this time it had been important.
"Wait, no," Barry said, shaking his head slightly. "I did care- I do care!"
"I know you do. I know you had a reason, Barry. I know you're important. I just wanted to be important to you too."
Caitlin Snow
"You're all alone? What'd you do, scare everyone off?"
They had been your first words to Caitlin, and as her past unfolded in the months to come, you learned just how deeply they must have cut.
Cisco Ramone
"You can't be serious for one freaking second, can you?" You smacked the table for emphasis, some device he'd been tinkering with clattering at the movement.
He looked at you like a kicked puppy. You knew what you said wasn't true. You knew Cisco could be very serious. You regretted the words almost immediately.
Eddie Thawne
"No. It's just... it's not worth it." You left.
The fight hadn't lasted long--Eddie was worth it to you in the end. But he'd struggled with self-worth for so long that those words affected him badly.
Eobard Thawne
"You only care about yourself," you snarled, staring at him coldly. Once those words were true. Eobard lived by them, lived for them.
But he'd changed that, just for you. Or so he'd thought. So you'd thought.
Harrison Wells
"You really can't feel past these equations, can you?"
You and Wells don't fight much. You're pretty darn amiable. But even you need a little more affection than a week's worth of half-grunted thank-you's when you pass him some food. Wells was devastated--he loved you more than any of his equations could prove.
Henry Allen
"You're doing about as much good out of Iron Heights as you did in it!" you said. "Get in the car, Henry."
"But Barry doesn't wa-"
"What Barry needs is a father. Go to his little get-together. Be with your son."
Henry was so worried he'd screw up Barry's life even more that you practically had to drag him into it. It took harsh words some days, but Henry forgave easily. And he needed it. Both of the Allen's did.
Hunter Zolomon
"You're a monster." Tears welled up in your eyes, betraying the steely calm you usually wore around Zoom's heinous crimes.
Hunter flinched. You knew what he was thinking, what he was remembering. You could only hope he would also remember how to be human.
Iris West
"Do you even think about someone other than yourself?" you asked coldly. Iris blinked, taken aback.
"Excuse me?"
"You're excused. Come see me when you can even see past your own life, Iris." You knew the words were mean, but being put second hurt too much.
Joe West
"Out of coffee."
Really, when does Joe do anything wrong to make him feel bad about? When is he not too much of a teddy bear to hurt even if he did? The precious man must be protected at all costs.
Wally West
"You know what? You're just like your mom, Wally. Running from your problems and making other people pay the prices."
Those words weren't easily forgiven. Wally's mother had done difficult things to live with, but how dare you use her as an insult? You berate yourself long since for what you said to him in one moment of anger.
These can't all be happy and fluffy, I'm afraid. And while I'm on an author's note, I'd just like to say that I'm working on a Jesse Wells catchup, and possibly a Leonard Snart catchup. If you're enjoying these, please feel free to drop a request or just leave a comment!
