I'm so sorry to everyone I've hurt.

[He locked himself in a metahuman cell when he's back to normal and Barry realizes what he's done. He sits on the floor and runs a shaking hand through his hair, then curls up]

[binarythinking]

Barry.
[God he looks like a kicked puppy. Harry lets himself in and sits beside him.] No one is blaming you for what happened. Half of everyone here went a little crazy.

Frost wore a pink dress and made cupcakes. Rory was saving people.

[commanderspecs]

[He looks up, looking like he'd been crying for a while and backs away to the other side of the cell, already shaking his head]

No. Doctor Wells. You need to get out of here. I don't want to hurt you. please.

[binarythinking]

You're not going to hurt me and I'm not leaving until you decide to get out of this cell. [Try him, Allen. He's not budging.]

[commanderspecs]

[He's so torn up about it. He tries to tuck himself further away from Harry by tucking himself in a corner further.]

I am--I did. Just ,please leave.

[binarythinking]

No.

[And Harry will sit beside him again, closing that distance.]

You didn't hurt me and I got the cuff off of Bart. I made a promise to help you with your abilities and I'm going to keep it.

[commanderspecs]

[He whispers]

I hurt Bart.

[He shakes his head]

He's not my grandson but I feel responsible for him, Harry. I hurt him.

I hurt you.

[binarythinking]

I can't speak for Bart.
Nothing you did is unforgivable. [He reaches out to rest a hand on his shoulder.] You're a good man, Allen. What happened wasn't your fault.

[commanderspecs]

[He tries to keep himself from jumping at Harry's hand on his shoulder]

I still did it.

[binarythinking]

And I forgive you. In time, you'll learn to forgive yourself Allen. [He squeezes his shoulder gently.] You don't belong in here.

[commanderspecs]

[He nods slowly, the squeeze is comforting. His eyes fill with tears and he launches himself at Harry, hugging him tightly. Shh, don't mind that his shirt is getting wet.]

[binarythinking]

[Harry makes a startled sound but doesn't pull away as he's all but tackled by the young man. His arms come around him and he moves one hand in slow circles along his back as he cries.] It'll be all right Allen. You'll be all right.

[commanderspecs]

I don't think I will. What if this happens again?
