“	She wants to tell you her secret. Right? She doesn't know where to start. Difficult to know where to begin when your secret threatens everything, everyone around you. Sherloque, stop it. Maybe start at the beginning. It's a very good place to start. When you first time traveled. So careful to leave the lightest footprint. Until you suddenly change course and brazenly interfere with the Thinker satellite as it crashed to Earth. I think to myself, "Nope, nope. This excessive action doesn't make sense." Until you understand that... it wasn't your idea. Please stop. Someone instructed you to do it. Stop. Someone... whose handwriting is in your journal. Someone who wrote, "The timeline is malleable." The same person who's been directing you all this time, making puppets of all of us as he seeks to alter the timeline to suit his own purpose. Eobard Thawne. The Reverse-Flash. Your teacher. Your partner. Your secret.	”
— Sherloque Wells and Nora West-Allen on the secret.[src]
