Earth-2 Harrison "Harry" Wells x Reader One Shots (The Flash)

More Than Meets Those Eyes (T)

Summary: In your Quantum Theory Master Class, everyone has read his biography and every woman is going bonkers for him; becoming putty in his hands and melting in his lectures. That is the effect of Harrison Wells. Only you don't feel quite the same as your classmates. But will a special one-on-one encounter with the enigmatic scientist change your mind?

The woman to your right was applying what you would call "Alarming Red" lipstick with help from her compact mirror. The woman on your left has been fixing her hair for nine million years. In fact, just about every female in the lecture hall was primping themselves as if they were getting picked up for some hot date.

Were you missing something?

Looking around, everyone in the room, regardless of gender, all appear to have one thing in common: a sizable book bearing the face the man about to give the first of two talks in his Quantum Theory Master Class. Doctor Harrison Wells.

You knew the man to be a sort of legend among the scientific community, something you hoped to become one day, too. Attending his class would look great on paper, but truth be told, you weren't too sure what the big fuss was over Harrison Wells. Others like him have done work just as great, arguably some have done better. But what kind of fool would you be to miss an opportunity to learn from a mind such as his. Lipstick Lady catches you eyeing up her book.

"Have you read it?" she asks.

"Uh, no," you admit. "Should I ought to?"

"You simply must, it's a phenomenal read. Here, have mine."

"I couldn't possibly-"

"I insist. Besides," the woman lowers her voice, sliding her copy of Wells: A Biography over to you. "I have another copy at home."

"Oh, well, thank you." The door at the back of the lecture hall whooshes open and all heads turn to watch the man of the hour, Harrison Wells, enter.

"Good afternoon everyone," Wells greets the room. "Although, time will tell, won't it?" This produces longing sighs and giggles, mainly from those of the female variety (with the odd male chuckle). This is going to be a very interesting time.

After the class your stomach grumbles like a slumbering dragon, so you search for something to munch on before heading home. Walking over to the perfect spot, an unoccupied bench under a lofty oak tree, you take a seat with your bag of Big Belly Burger. Thank the heavens for fast food chains on campuses. You pull Wells: A Biography out from your bag. Wells' big blue eyes stare back up at you. The person editing this jacket cover must have saturated the shit out of them. There's no way a person's eyes could be that blue. You begin to read the inner flap's summary while starting to snack on your perfectly salted fries.

From the Author of the Bestselling Biographies of Bill Gates and J.D. Salinger, this is the exclusive Biography of Harrison Wells.

Based on more than forty interviews with Wells conducted over three years - as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, colleagues - John Gallagher has written a riveting story of the roller coaster life and searingly intense personality of a leading scientist whose passion for research and development revolutionized the science and technology industry in the United States.

At a time when America is seeking wars to sustain its innovative edge, Wells stands as the ultimate icon of development in advanced particle research. He knew that the best way to create a buzz in the science community was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of science.
