Oh yeah. It was him. The Reverse Flash or as he introduced himself, Eobard Thawne. Funny, since we all worked with a detective called Eddie Thawne which -- Wells- Thawne said was a distant relation. You'll get it in a minute. So as for the question of how the Reverse Flash nearly murdered Wells if they're the same person - speed mirage. He was moving so fast he could actually leave after-images of himself behind. As for the 'why', all he said was that he came to kill Barry all those years ago and ended up killing his mom, that he was - stuck for fifteen years and Barry's speed was going to sending him to his world and time. I - said I would help but he was - he never meant for any of that. All he said was that - I was like his son and then he - well. He was fast enough to close a fist around my heart and kill me.

and before you ask, I'm not dead. Remember? freak storm? Barry's trying to stop it by running really fast around it? well, he ran so fast that he actually ran back in time. He changed the timeline without even knowing he did. So everything - me finding out about Wells, the freak storm, Wells killing me, all were undone. But then - days after, I started remembering. the other timeline, the one Barry changed by going back. I remembered that but Wells didn't. We were closing in on who he actually was. What we found out was a secret room inside STAR labs that Wells used. Inside there was the yellow suit but also some sort of A.I system and a newspaper from 2024 citing something about the Flash being missing. Which means that Thawne, much like Barry, could travel in time which he did. He went back to try and kill Barry and stop him from being the Flash but the effort left him without his speed and stuck in a timeline he didn't belong at. He was cray before but after that he was cray and angry and he set out to create the Flash because he needed speed to go back to his timeline. Following?
