"Maybe... Maybe he had a good reason. Like he had to do it. Sometimes the cause outweighs the person but that doesn't mean he couldn't have loved you. Sometimes people just love in weird ways, it's all like it's ranked? And when it comes to family, both sides have to sacrifice for the end goal." Axel was not the best person to talk to on this subject, given his own relationship with the Trickster, the older Trickster, the one that pulled a move not unlike Wells. He was the only person Axel ever had, the first person to show him love and not only was he like a father to him for so many years but it turned out that it was a blood relation too. They had what Axel saw as a positive thing but clearly wasn't, not by any means. James Jesse used Axel like Wells used Cisco but in Axel's head, it made sense.
There was a degree of defensiveness in his tone because... why would Wells do that? It made no sense. Yeah, he was a dick weed but what if he did have a reason? This wasn't like with Hartley, he loved him like a son.
He paused and frowned, trying to push himself away from it. Wells might not be like Jesse, he might not be as capable of love. "I won't let anyone ever hurt you or kill you. Not again. So you don't need to be scared, lots of people have your back. Me and even Hartley, regardless of his baggage." He knew that for certain. He pulled Cisco in a little closer, unable to wrap his head around this. If Wells loved him, why did he kill him? Or was Wells just a natural liar.
"How do you remember? If the timeline was erased?"
