This chapter will have a brief appearance by she who will not be named, but don't worry, it will likely be her only appearance.

Arrow lair

Morning

Barry groaned as he came to. He tried to sit up but discovered he couldn't move. He opened his eyes and discovered he was handcuffed to a table. Barry looked up to see Diggle and Oliver, dressed in his Arrow suit with the hood down, staring down at him with suspicious looks on their faces.

"Who are you? And how do you know who I am?" Oliver demanded.

"Um, I'd be happy to answer that, but can you uncuff me first?" Barry asked.

Snarling, Oliver grabbed an arrow from his quiver and stabbed it into Barry's shoulder. Barry cried out in pain as Oliver twisted the arrow in his shoulder.

"Talk." Oliver growled.

Suddenly, they was a breeze and Barry was gone. Oliver and Diggle looked around, spotting him a few feet away, yanking the arrow out of his shoulder with a cry of pain.

"God, really!? And I could've done that at anytime, by the way." Barry said panting in pain.

"I don't know how you did that, but you better start talking or the next one goes in your chest." Oliver snarled, notching an arrow and taking aim at Barry as Diggle pulled out two pistols and aimed at Barry as well.

"Okay, my name is Barry Allen. We've been friends for years Ollie." Barry said, clutching his wounded shoulder.

"Funny, I don't remember you." Oliver narrowed his eyes at Barry.

"We've been friends for years. I know how your dad really died Ollie," Barry said and Oliver stiffened, "the gambit went down, you, your father, and a crew member made it to a life boat. You drifted for days but there was only enough water for one. So your dad pulled out a gun, shot the crew member, told you to survive, then turned the gun on himself."

"I've only told the exact details of what happened to my father to two people. Both of who are dead." Oliver said clearly shaken.

"You told me that four years from now. I'm from the future." Barry said and Diggle scoffed.

"and you expect us to believe that?" Diggle asked incredulously.

"You just saw me move at super speed, but you have trouble grasping time travel?" Barry asked sarcastically.

"He's gotta a point," Oliver shrugged, cautiously lowering his bow, "but let's say for a minute we believe any of this. Why are you here?"

"That's...a complicated story. Best said over lunch. You have anything to eat around here? I'm starved." Barry asked and Oliver and Diggle exchanged exasperated looks.

Big Belly Burger

Afternoon

"So, you were sent back in time by God?" Oliver asked skeptically as the three of them sat at Big Belly Burger, Barry consuming multiple burgers.

"Not god, the Speed Force," Barry corrected after swallowing, "bad things happen, and I was sent here to fix it."

"Right, and you do that...how?" Diggle asked, feeling a headache coming on.

"For, for starters, I need to tell you that Oliver's mother is involved in some deep shit." Barry said before taking a bit of burger.

"I'm sorry, what?" Oliver asked, an undertone of danger in his voice.

"Malcolm Merlyn is going to level The Glades in about six months because he blames the people there for the death of his wife. And he's blackmailing your mother into helping him by threatening you and Thea." Barry said and Oliver smiled thinly.

"Look kid, you're obviously suffering from some kind of psychotic break." as Barry swallowed.

"Go see Felicity Smoak at Queen Consolidated," Barry told him and Oliver raised an eyebrow, "ask her about the notebook your step-father left her. It will be an exact copy of The List."

"How do you know about The List?" Oliver narrowed his eyes at Barry.

"Because you told me, years from now. If you don't believe me, go ahead, ask her." Barry challenged, setting his food down and matching Oliver's stare with one of his own.

Queen Consolidated

Later in the afternoon

"Felicity?" Oliver called out as he entered the IT department.

"Oliver," Felicity glanced up, "need some more help with something?"

"No actually. Before he went missing, Water told me that if anything happened to him, to come see you. Do you know anything about what happened to Walter?" Oliver asked and Felicity was silent for a moment.

"If Walter trusts you, then I need to show you something," Felicity reached inside her desk drawer and pulled out a small, lightly colored notebook that made Oliver's blood run cold, "before he went missing, your step-father gave it to me. He found it in your house, said it belonged to your mother. He felt she was hiding something from him. He wanted me to look into it but then-

"He went missing." Oliver said slowly and Felicity nodded.

"Do you think this book could have cost Walter his life?" Felicity asked worriedly and Oliver didn't have an answer for her.

Arrow lair

Later in the afternoon

"They're identical." Diggle said as he held up The list and the notebook Oliver got from Felicity.

"It's more than that," Barry said an Oliver and Diggle looked over at him, "Open it up to the first page."

Perplexed, Diggle put one down and did as Barry asked. He saw a strange, green symbol ion the otherwise blank page.

"What's this symbol?" Diggle asked curiously.

"It's not a symbol," Barry sped over to the computers and brought up a map of Starling city, "look familiar?"

"He's right Oliver, its not a symbol. It's a map of The Glades." Diggle said looking back and forth before the map in the books and the one on the computer.

"Because Merlyn wants to destroy them." Barry insisted.

Oliver had enough and stood up, stalked over to Barry, and grabbed him by his shirt, pulling him forward. Diggle was concerned as Barry suddenly felt the temperature in the room drop a few degrees.

"Like I said, you're having some sort of psychotic break. Go home, get some rest, and forget about all this. And if you say a word about this to anyone, anyone! I will kill you." Oliver snarled before shoving Barry towards the door.

Barry stared at Oliver for a moment before turning and walking out. Oliver stood silently for a moment, staring at the spot where Barry had been before he felt Diggle's gaze on him.

"Got something to say Diggle?" Oliver asked sarcastically.

"No, I think you already know it, you just don't want to admit it. Because the things Barry is saying make to much sense: The List, The Glades, your step-father's disappearance. He was right about the second notebook. And I have a feeling he's right about this to. You can deny it all you want, but deep dow, you know the truth Oliver." Diggle told him before walking out, leaving Oliver to his thoughts.
