....

  • Eobard Thawne: What I wouldn't have given... Oh, all those times before I've had you like this, so helpless, but Fate... Fate's tricky, isn't it? I come here to destroy you, and then to get home I have to be the one who creates you. Huh. But I will say, it's been an education, watching you grow up all these years - science fairs and soccer games - no hint, no sign, no trace of the man you will be one day - for whom I have nothing but hate. And to be clear, nothing is forgiven. There will be a reckoning, I promise you, Barry Allen, then you will die.
