Dr. Harrison Wells. The name struck different emotions in the others, all of them negative. He's back in their lives but... To Barry.... He's not the same. How can he be? Everyone seems to accuse Barry of not caring but he does, and he plays it up but..... This isn't Eobard Thawne. The differences are too big. Thawne, while pretending to be Wells, was calm, cool, and collected. He was just as smart, but he was patient and biding his time.
This was Harrison Wells, the real one. He was not patient, he was caustic and blunt. While he was also calculating, he had a goal and he didn't hide it. It was refreshing to Barry, where too many people kept their agendas hidden.
Take Jay for example; Dr. Wells, this Dr. Wells, the real deal, cut him open and bled it all out. Jay reacted with violence and the thing was, Barry is a forensic scientist, he works with cops and analyzes criminals and patterns.... A violent outburst to an accusation? Usually guilty.
Barry himself had self doubts, but he dealt with his demons. What he said was true: he has already faced his worst nightmare, and for all the loss and heartbreak, he won (though Barry is still trying to get that feeling to sink in). This nightmare was Jay's, that happened to crash into their world.
When Harrison.... Harry, as Cisco dubbed him, stepped up and told him to get it done "you are fast Barry, you've already surpassed Jay." Barry felt.... relieved. A mentor, a REAL mentor, someone who didn't fool around, helped him get it done, believed in him, and didn't take his excuses was something Barry didn't even realize he was lacking. Barry felt alive and driven once more.
Cisco didn't trust him, Caitlin less and siding with Jay, and honestly Barry doesn't either, not so immediately no matter what anyone else wants to say about it (Len had taught him caution, whether Barry realized it or not) but with all this mess popping up and people getting hurt, Wells was the one who was obviously going to get them out of it, screaming and crying. He proved it with Cisco who was so unsure and afraid himself, and with Barry.
This Dr. Harrison Wells, the real Wells, is a dick. True, but Barry finally had someone to give him direction again. It's something that Barry had sorely missed, though he won't ever admit it out loud because it felt too much like admitting that for all his power, he didn't know what he was doing. He's going to keep an eye on 'Harry' but.... If he's relieved, no one has to know but himself.
