[ that's a good and bad thing, isn't it? snart's driven to the point of getting things done. his goals are always met. but sometimes that drive sends him spiralling. what would snart have done if lisa had been left by herself and hadn't been back at the lab with cisco? ]
[ drive can be a good thing, but barry knows it can make someone incredibly single-minded. he'd know; that's how he's being at the moment. ]
Is that why you don't like being called a hero for what you did? Heroes aren't good in your books?
[ ray knows snart in a way barry doesn't, he knows that. snart and himself haven't had enough time to get a feel for one another, but that "inside joke" tells him everything he needs to know. snart doesn't want to go down as a crook. he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of his father. ]
[ that's pretty admirable. and proves barry's point that there's some good inside of leonard snart. ]

And *am. Dude, seriously, can we try to keep the continuity right? You're not dead here.
[ he almost types out a message asking snart to just spit it out what he wants to say, but barry has a feeling he already has. besides, he's been running far from the topic at hand he doesn't particularly want to redirect them anywhere close to it. ]
See you, Snart. I have a croquet game to get to.
[ perhaps that's all the answer leonard snart needs from barry allen. ]

You're driven.
[Is that the thing they have in common? What is it even supposed to mean? He's leaving that open to interpretation, evidently.]

Ray and you, sure. Me?
I'll settle for being a legend.
[Roll end credits.]

Won't you be missing from the history books with all the time-jumping?

Again, ask Ray.

No one can be more than they are. I am fine being what I was.
