"So... Harrison Wells isn't Harrison Wells - so he is a lunatic from the future?", said Cisco. I nodded, " practically, yes. His name is Eobard Thawne". "And he's another Speedster?", said Barry. I looked at him and nodded.

Our eyes did not leave one another as he looked at me seriously and I looked at him sadly, " what color was his lightning?". I looked at him for a moment before answering "yellow".

I saw the anger and fury in Barry's eyes - he had told me more than 100-times that it was the yellow-lightning man that killed his mother... And unlike many others, I believed him.

I walked over to him, " Barry, hey". His eyes did not leave the ground as he looked down in pure anger. I placed my hands on his cheeks and met his eyes.

"I know what your thinking, and we will find him - but if we do it without thinking it will only end up with you getting hurt or even worse..." "I don't care" "But I do, OK. We all do - and I can't even think of loosing you so if you leave me here I will personaly come back for you just to beat you up for leaving me behind - and I don't care if you care or not, because I do - I have always cared and I will always care".

He looked into my eyes for what seemed like eternity - I always loved his eyes, not in a creepy way!

"OK?", said I as I looked in to his eyes. " Okay", I smiled at him as I looked over at the others.

"There must have been a reason to why he had the wheelchair, maybe it was a reboot? Maybe he needed more speed or something, Cisco?" "I'm on it!".

I smiled at him while trying to hide my emotions, I had after all just found out that my father was dead and that the man I thought was my father now was out to kill Barry.

"It can't be true ", I turned to Caitlyn who didn't seem to believe me. " Believe me, Caitlyn - I wouldn't lie about this." "But he has done so much for us! He is Harrison Wells!" "No Caitlyn he is NOT! He is the man that killed my family and so many others. He is not good Caitlyn", I turned away from her to hide my tears that threatened to spill my eyes.

" And you are? You just left us Gen!", I looked down into the table. "No, I didn't" "Yes you did!", I turned around to face her. " No I did not - I never would, I never will. I went to find a way to stop fake Wells to prevent the explosion from ever happening but there was nothing I could do okay!? I tried everything to save the ones I loved from the man who I thought was my father! I did everything just to become a punchbag myself! I did everything to help you but sometimes everything isn't enough. I would never leave you guys, never".

The tension in the room was so thick so that you could practically cut it with a knife. "Now, you don't have to believe me - just don't stand in my way." I looked at her before walking into my old lab - and that is where I fully broke down.

I had no family, no money, no job and Ronnie was dead - I had lost everything.

I became so angry so that I punched the wall in frustration. I had lost everything. I accidently made a hole in the wall before sinking down to the floor.

What if I had been able to stop him? What if I had saved everyone? What if I had never met Ray? What if, what if...

I rarely cried but I felt the frustration rise in me. I walked over to my desk to see a framed in photo of me and fake-Harrison, placed neatly on my desk. I was six years old when this photo was taken - it was my first time at S.T.A.R-labs. I let my fingers run over the picture - I remembered that day so well. Then I heard a light knock on the door - "come in...", said I. My eyes still not leaving the picture.

" Hey, are you OK?", I knew that voice from miles away. "Of course I am okay, when aren't I?", said I as I turned around to face him. He was still a head taller than me - I was always the shortest and the youngest, by two years to be exact.

He smiled sadly at me as he walked closer and laid eyes on the picture. "Gen I'm..." "Don't... It's not your fault" he smiled sadly at me. "And it isn't yours either", I looked out from my small window before turning to Barry again.

"What if I had been faster, what if I had prevented this from happening? You would have had nine more months of your life and so many others would be alive right now. I could have saved so many Barry, but I didn't". "Hey", I felt him take a hold of my shoulders.

"It was his fault and his fault only, you couldn't have been better than you are - you tried your best and that is what counts". I smiled at him as he embraced me in a tight hug - I let myself nuzzle into his chest. "Thank you Barry, I don't know what I would do without you". " And I don't know what I would do without you, Gen" .

I looked up at Barry and smiled sadly before walking over to the photo once again. I picked it up and held it in my hands. "Do you think that he loved me, not the fake Wells but the real one - my dad." I felt an arm sneak around my shoulders, holding me close. "I'm sure that he loved you more than anyone else.", I felt Barrys head rest on mine as I nuzzled into his neck again - and from that moment I was more than sure, I was madly in love with Barry Allen.
