[ It takes Barry an hour to get back to this but when he does, it's a series of slightly disjointed texts ]
Cold betrayed me at home, I made a deal with him and he betrayed me and he had a chance to kill me. But he didn't. I still think the you I know is a psychopath and that the Hartley I know really needs to either grow up or just lessen the dickishness. I know both of those dudes are willing to kill me.
But at this point, I'm getting that it's not just Green Arrow who's different in our universes. It's not just the fact that I haven't met Green Lantern or Superman or anyone but Green Arrow and Black Canary at home. Hartley seemed like he wasn't going to kill me and you're...harmless? What I mean by all of that is that I believe you. That a Rogue wouldn't kill a Flash and that maybe it's just the Thawnes that really want to murder Flashes. Otherwise our enemies don't do the killing us thing. Which is really great for my long term survival.
I won't tell him if he doesn't know, which I'll be honest is something I don't know even if I think he'd still hang out with you regardless. I'm not...he doesn't need to know that he dies and that's how in a universe that isn't his own. Not after Wally dies in his world and I'm whatever I am in that same world. Because you're right, we tell him and he'll do what we do. Just run to the situation. Somehow try and fix it.
[ And maybe about a minute later. ]
You couldn't save him.
[ That should be a question, but it seems so strange to ask that he doesn't bother with it. ]
