[ there's a reason why barry had never spoken of his earth-2 counterpart: barry simply doesn't speak of himself. he may believe he'd earned those science award trophies, but he'd hardly bragged. attention was fine, especially if it was from the right people, but barry still shies away from the spotlight if he doesn't think himself deserving. ]
[ speaking of earth-2 barry simply wasn't on his agenda. he was someone barry wished he could be. ]
I don't know, I was just me.
He was a CSI. Wore glasses. Dressed ... kind of cool? He had cool shoes, no wonder Iris liked him.
He was kind of bumbling and ... insecure. Joe didn't like him at all. It's like I said, he thought he was selfish, because you — Iris had to become a cop to pay his tuition. But she was a damn good one. And Joe ... Honestly, you need to get your dad to sing. He's really, really, really good.
But that Barry was ... I don't know. We — They lived in Joe's house. Our Joe's house, I don't know if that was his house there, because I didn't get to stick around long enough to find out. But we lived there. And my mom was going on a cruise with dad, and Cisco, Caitlin, and Ronnie were metas. Barry just … He kind of just fits in there.
He was also a loser for Dr Harrison Wells. I guess that's going to be a universal thing. 😝
