"Ollieeeee, what is your dream?" Barry's head is currently laid on Oliver's shoulder, while they are watching the stars. His left hand is placed on the archer's heart, his engagement ring glittering in the moonlight and Oliver caressing it. They decided to have a date night at the rooftop of their apartment - stargazing together.
"Hmm? You know the answer Bear, silly" Oliver responded with a straight face.
"Ollieeeee…...so unfair. Come on love" Barry whined and pouted, then he did something stupid. He bit Oliver on his neck.
"Hey! Why did you do that? Did you turned into a vampire?" he turned to face Barry and he started attacking him with tickles.
After the teasing and nonstop laughter, they both ran of breath.
Oliver took in Barry's features. He imprinted it on his memory, his eyes - like an endless ocean of stars and full of life, his smile, his lips and those little freckles on his face. Despite Barry's age, he seems childlike all the time. In contrast to his mature and stoic look.
"Why don't we say our dreams together?" his piercing blue eyes stared at those beautiful orbs of hazel-green, full of so much love.
"To be together forever".
"Gideon, what is happening? Are there any changes? Is Barry waking up? Oliver worriedly asked the AI.
"I am currently analyzing 's brain activity. For the past 5 decades his neuro activities remains constant, he is not showing any signs nor changes" the AI explained as she continues her analysis.
"Please hurry Gideon" William pleaded, he saw how tensed his Father was.
Gideon has been watching over Barry's vitals and condition for 50 years. She was also programmed for the Time Vaults high scale security and thousands of medical books is recorded in her database. And so is Cisco's and Caitlin's knowledge at medicine, technology and analysis is stored upon her.
" is currently experiencing a rapid eye movement sleeping condition, he is currently dreaming. For 5 decades that I have been monitoring him he is only experiencing a slow wave sleep, which in another term is a very deep sleep. But that doesn't mean that when a patient is experiencing REM, it is a sign of waking up" another explanation from the AI.
As they listened to the AI's explanation, Barry's breathing and heartbeat became erratic, which alarmed the people in the Vault.
William went to his Father's side and they both hold unto Barry's hand. Seeking comfort to each other, and they could still feel the warmth that is radiating from Barry.
"Bear, please wake up. Come back to me. Whatever, you are dreaming right now. Wherever you are I know it is not good, you are suffering. Please fight. I know you can! Please love, come back to me. Please, I beg you. I miss you so much. I love you Bear" Oliver's eyes is filled with worry and tears is freely falling nonstop.

"Ollie, chocolate cake please?" Barry pleaded with a puppy eyes look.
He looked at his fiance's pleading eyes and teased him with a smirk "Do I have a choice?".
"Yay! Love you Ollie!" he kissed him playfully on his lips.
Barry Allen is currently sitting in Oliver's lap, they are planning their dream wedding 6 months from now.
Oliver Queen can never ask for more. Spending his whole life with Barry is like a dream come true. If this is a dream he hopes that he will never wake up. Because this is so wonderful.
John Diggle is his best man, William is the ring bearer, Cisco is Barry's best man, while Thea, Iris, and Caitlin are bridesmaids. The Legends are part of the entourage as well. Martin Stein will be the one to bless their union.
Both of them are so excited for their Dream Wedding. But for Oliver it is their Honeymoon that he is looking forward to.
Unconsciously, a weird smile formed on his lips.
"Ollieeeeeeee….your smile looks creepy. May I know what silly things is running in Arrow slash Star City Mayor's head? Hmmm?" he is poking both sides of Oliver's cheek like a kid.
Oliver looked at him teasingly. "Not my secret to tell Bear. Let's go to bed. Let us resume our wedding plans tomorrow".
"You are such a tease! I am going to sleep on the couch if you are not gonna tell me" the speedster just crossed his arms and pouted like a kid.
"As if Bear. I know you want some spooning" he carried Barry through their bedroom, both of them laughing.

Oliver was pulled out of his reverie when he heard Gideon's commanding voice.
"I will administer to a medicine to normalize his heartbeat and an oxygen to normalize his breathing" Gideon informed everyone in the room.
"Please do it Gideon. Please save Barry, we can't afford to lose him. Not now, not ever! Wallace, please call Francis! He can help, he might Vibe something and Katrina too" William is also shaking, but he have to calm himself for the sake of his Father, he needs to be strong for the both of them.
The speedster, returned 30 with Francis and Katrina on his side.
"Uncle Oliver, William what happened?" Francisco Ramon Jr. asked both Queens with a frown on his face. He took the mantle of Vibe after his Father passed away several years ago. Surpassing both of his parents abilities, he can create a projection like a cinema of the things that he vibed for a short period of time, so that other people can take a glimpse of it. Even though he transcends them, saving Central City, being the leader of Team Flash, he still felt useless. Because he can't do anything to save his Father's best friend. He religiously visits the Time Vault, to vibe Barry. But, he can only see what his Father told him years back - hollow and darkness.
William explained to Francis and Katrina what had happened. They approached the speedsters sleeping form, they could see some changes. His eyes is rapidly moving beneath those eyelids, forehead sweating, shallow breathing. Katrina checked his vitals and she made sure that Gideon administered the correct dosage of medicine to stabilize Barry. She is also one of the people like her Mother Caitlin, who regularly checks on the speedsters vitals and Gideon's daily medical reports. She is also protecting Central City with Wallace and Francis.
Francis held Barry's other hand and he starts vibing him. I hope I will see something now, please Uncle Barry wake up. Uncle Oliver needs you. Central City needs the Flash. You've been sleeping for so long.
His eye's went wide and he is seeing something. Hope filled his heart, this time he will never fail his promise to his Dad "Guys! I am seeing something! I am going to project it now".
When Francis projected the image for everyone to see. Oliver and William stood up and they were staggered on what they saw.
"Dad, it can't be. He is dead before this happened to Barry. This is impossible" both Father and Son looked at each other, worry are painted in their faces and they were more horrified to think that the person in Francis' projection and Dark Warlock are one and the same. They are hoping that he is not. And why would he be in Barry's dream?
Unless…
"If I can't have you Barry then Oliver can't have you as well! You will be like a living doll forever! Living in your own world for eternity!"
It clicked….
"Uncle Oliver? William? Who is he?" Francis stood up and approached the Queens. He also wondered as well if who is the guy in Barry's dream. He just didn't show some stuff to prevent Oliver to become more agitated.
But he wonders. Why Barry looks so damn happy with that guy in his dreams. He remembers his Father's story to him, when Barry got whammied by Music Meister and got stuck to the Music World. Something is off with this one, because it seems that Barry is having a nightmare in front of them from an alternate world. He is stuck in a dreamworld.
Is something happening in there? He is hoping that Barry is not hurt in that world, like what had happened to Music Meister. He can't afford seeing Oliver Queen to suffer again. He suffered long enough. He needs to formulate a plan to wake the sleeping speedster.

"Morning sunshine" a man in his early 30s entered the bedroom. He has a side mohawk clean cut hair in a shade of dark brown, clean shaven, and his distinct features is his light greyish blue eyes. He is wearing a dark grey suit, good looking and carrying a suitcase.
"Morning Adi…..mmmm….still sleepy. Come here my fiance. Gimme a hug" he gestured to join him in bed.
"Demanding like my client huh. Hello my beautiful Bear" he gave a kiss on Barry's forehead.
"Got a case today District Attorney Adi? Don't forget that we have our marriage counseling by 5 pm later. I have it scheduled after my University. Pick me up okay?" he gave a sleepy smile to his fiance.
