The revelation of his own power being at play when it comes to guiding the fate of the people around him made Barry wonder if this is what he had always wanted subconsciously.
'It looks like I am way more selfish than I thought I was,' Barry says, scratching his head.
As Barry does some self-reflection on the type of person he really is, he begins to realize he is much more selfish than the Barry of the past.
The Barry of the past was too much of a good guy. He let people walk all over him; he didn't have it in him to make difficult choices. But Barry is now very different. After the merger of all his life's memories, he is a changed man.
Sure, he is still a good man and cares very much about doing good and saving people, but he is also much more selfish. He won't let people walk over him.
And with access to infinite power, Barry will never have to choose. He can do what he wants.
Barry really doesn't regret the way Ronnie turned out in this timeline because he is selfish.
He looks at Caitlin, who is sleeping soundly. Even though their relationship is a casual one, she is still his.
With this in mind, Barry goes to sleep next to her. Even though he doesn't need any, not having to think for hours can be very relaxing.

The next morning, Barry opens his eyes to the smell of a delicious breakfast. He gets up, walking into the kitchen, and sees Caitlin just in her underwear, making pancakes.
Barry's eyes can't help but fall on her soft plump asscheeks. Unable to control himself, he walks up to her and gives them a nice squeeze as he kisses her neck from the back.
Feeling his electric touch immediately makes Caitlin lose all focus. Her legs become weak. She closes her eyes and gasps in pleasure.
"Stop~ Not right now~ I am making breakfast~" She says reluctantly, even though she doesn't want him to stop. The touch of a superhuman, especially someone whose touch is as stimulating as Barry's, is too hard to resist.
"It's your fault for looking so sexy early in the morning," Barry whispers into her ear before turning her to face him and then sealing his lips with hers. Their tongues taste each other with passion and uncontainable desire, as Barry's hands don't shy away from roaming her smooth, sexy body.
Caitlin shivers at his touch, getting more excited, but she needs to be rational right now. She pulls away from the kiss reluctantly.
"Okay, now go and wash up. We need to get to work," She says with a flushed face. Barry smiles, seeing how hard she is fighting her desire, but decides to listen.
He takes a shower and returns to find Caitlin already in a dress and the breakfast table set up.
They sit down together, and Barry is once again impressed by how good Caitlin is at cooking.
"So what happened last night?" Caitlin suddenly asked.
"What?" Barry asks.
"You got a call last night from work. Did something happen?" Caitlin asks.
"Yes... The man in yellow... He is back," Barry says.
His words hit like a bombshell as Caitlin dropped her fork. "By the man in yellow, you mean..." Caitlin asks to confirm. "Yes, the man who killed my mother," Barry says in a sombre tone
Caitlin keeps her silence for a few seconds before grabbing Barry's hand and squeezing it. And when he locks eyes with her, he sees nothing but worry and concern in them.
"Don't worry, I, Cisco, Dr. Wells, Joe, everyone is going to help you catch this man," Caitlin says.
"I know, I am glad to have you guys in my life," Barry says, smiling.
"And I am glad to have you in mine," Caitlin says, smiling back.
They then continue with their lunch and talk about small stuff. Caitlin didn't want to bring up anything that could remind Barry about that horrific night.
After they were done with lunch, Barry took Caitlin to S.T.A.R. Labs and found Dr. Wells, Cisco, and Joe already there, ready to talk about the Man in Yellow.
Cisco shows some concern for Caitlin because of what happened last night to her, but right now, their focus is on the evil speedster who is going around killing people.
As the Flash's team, they know the incredible things Barry can do, so they also understand the chaos and destruction an evil man with the same powers as Barry can do.
They know that this man in yellow is probably the most dangerous Meta-Human they will ever encounter.
Now, with every player in the room, the team starts talking about the Man in Yellow and what he is after.
With input from Dr. Wells and some digging from Cisco, the team realizes what this Man in Yellow is after.
Tachyons.
Mercury Labs has found a way to harness Tachyons, and the man in the yellow suit is looking for it.
So the immediate conclusion everyone comes to is acquiring this device from Mercury Labs and setting up a trap for the man in the yellow suit.
Everything seems to be going just as Dr. Wells planned, and Barry knows it too well, but he decides to let Dr. Wells play out his plan, as now is not the right time for him to act.
The team immediately starts working on a trap to capture this man in the yellow suit.
