A scene between Barry Allen, everyone's greatest hero and a man in my opinion he has made into his worst nightmare. Eaobard Thawne wearing his original face claims to have no memory of Barry. And Barry, with the Flash-Cowl on rants for 5 solid minutes how he's taking this lying murderer into iron heights which is letting him off easy.
And then this happens:
Flash: She's gone. This is what you wanted all along isn't it, for the negative speed-force to corrupt her.
Thawne: Why would I want that?! I didn't even know the negative speed-force existed before today!
Flash: She protected you from me why would she do that?
Eaobard Thawne: Because she LOVES me, you idiot. And I love her...more than anything. When I lost my memories, I had a singular focus in my life: Somehow, someway I was going to become a speedster and then I met Mena...everything changed.
(flashback to Thawne working as Mena's assistant, shares his desire to be bigger than a superhero, to fight disasters not just save people from criminals. Then put Mena in thier machine to save her life)
Eaobard Thawne: So please...even if I was this -monster somehow or, in another life don't hold my sins against her, I am *begging you...save her.
The Flash: (seeing actual tears in his 'monsters' eyes) The Thawne I know has haunted my life since I was just a kid. He's killed people I care for. He deserves to rot. (reaction shot Thawne is worried he still won't help) He could never put someone else's needs before his. I'm sorry. You're not the man I thought you were. (offers a handshake; Thawne looks like he doesn't know what to do with it) You're someone better. (Thawne gratefully shakes his hand).
Another way to describe/show exactly what happened:
Flash: She's gone. This is what you wanted all along isn't it, for the negative speed-force to corrupt her.
Eaboard: Why would I want that?! I didn't even know the negative speed-force existed before today!
Flash: She protected you from me why would she do that?
Thawne: Because she LOVES me, you idiot. And I love her...more than anything. When I lost my memories, I had a singular focus in life: Somehow, someway I was going to become a speedster and then I met Mena...everything changed.
(Narrated flashback showing Thawne working with Mena to build a speed machine, sharing his desire to be bigger than a superhero, to fight natural disasters not just save people from criminals; putting Mena in his machine to save her life, giving up his dream of being a speedster; and thier kiss)
Thawne: So Please, even if I was this monster somehow or...in another life don't hold my sins against her, I am Begging you...save her.”
(seeing actual tears in Thawne's eyes that don't go away as he speaks)
The Flash: The Thawne I know has haunted my life since I was just a kid. He's killed people I care for. He deserves to rot. (reaction shot; Thawne is scared that he's still refusing to help) He could never put someone else's needs before his. (breath/sigh of hope) I'm sorry. You're not the man I thought you were. (offers a handshake)You're someone better.
(Thawne gratefully shakes his hand).
