May 16,2012 - 8:48 pm
The uproar inside the Club still hasn't died down after the heated rematch between Santana and Barry a.k.a. Sebastian Smythe.
Because of the tension, Thea decided to rearrange the order of the remaining performance for the evening. After "Smooth Criminal", the next Michael Jackson song to be performed should be "Bad" - it is a collaboration and a healthy rematch between Mckinley and Dalton, but she decided to have another 30 minutes break, so that the others will enjoy their foods and cocktails.
As Barry descends from the stage stomping on his feet. Thad and Nick is still trying to calm him down after the heated performance.
"Hey Sebby, calm down will ya? It's over. What's your problem Captain? Come on cheer up! We all know who is the winner" both guys are doing a 'we are massaging your back and shoulder for you to calm down' action.
Barry just keeps shrugging them off and he is pacing back and forth on the side of the stage trying to calm himself, as he keeps muttering 'Leave me alone you idiots. I am so angry right now. Or else I am going to kick your asses'.
Iris is getting pissed off from their table, as she sees how her Brother is acting up ruthlessly towards Thad and Nick. Eddie, could feel his girlfriend's death grip in his arms. And he knows that she is irritated right now. Need to keep my mouth shut to prevent World War 3. He thought.
As she was about to leave the table to get Barry back to rejoin them. Someone had caught everybody's attention on the floor.
"Hello everyone! I would like to greet the Olympus God Queen a happy happy birthday! Wuhoo!" a young woman in her 20s grabbed everyone's heed using a megaphone. She moved towards the table and gave Thea, Tommy and Oliver a kiss on their cheeks.
Oliver thanked the woman for her cheerful greeting. And Tommy hugged her as his form of appreciation to the famous singer.
"Thank you Frida! As usual you are such an attention seeker. But it's cute, I like that about you. By the way congratulations on your platinum album award!" Thea hugged her so tight. "I miss you girl" she whispered.
"Me too girl" she whispered back.
Frida Romero, is a petite girl with a long black hair. She is from an asian descent. But despite her small physique, she is known as a tiny, little sophomore, who never competed before but has a voice that could fill an entire stadium, way way back before. Until she became a famous recording artist, after becoming first runner up in American Idol. A woman who is considered an equal when it comes to vocal power to Sebastian Smythe.
After a little introduction and a greeting from Oliver's table. She grabbed her megaphone again to call someone's attention.
"Hello! To my golden composer! Who made me sold a million copies of my first album! With a killer voice. To my Boyfriend in my dreams Sebastian Smythe! Which is impossible! Heyyyyy! Stop pacing back and forth like a stupid monkey and come hereeeeeee! I miss you BGF!".
Barry stopped his movements from his current position, when he recognized that voice, and wow it's been so long eversince he heard that big voice that is installed in a small body frame. When he faced Frida, his anger and irritation from his earlier performance was washed away in an instant.
"Frida?" he raised his eyebrows and was surprised by the asian's presence.
He walked towards her and Frida runs towards him and jumped for a big hug. Barry laughed so hard and he hugged her back and they spinned for a little. Both of them made Eskimo kisses.
"Dang it Sebby! You looked more hot! And you've gotten a little taller! So unfair! Are you overdosing yourself with lots of vitamins?" Barry giggled as he set the woman down from their Koala Hug.
Oliver and Tommy just squinted their eyes on the scene before them. It looks like these two has their history.
Oliver remembered Barry's letter to him that he never dated any girl before. Did he just lied to me? No, I trust Barry. I need to know more of this. I am sure he will open that up.
Frida and Barry walked towards the table with their hands intertwined. Iris is a bit skeptical on the smaller woman and felt a pang of jealousy, because she is the only girl best friend of Barry Allen. And no one else.
"Hey Bear! You told me that you never dated a girl before. So what's that? Care to explain?" Iris pointed at their entwined hands.
"Oh this?" Barry raised them for everyone to see. "It's nothing, Frida is like a sister to me. She is a female version of me back in High School, right?" he let go of their hands and Frida just grinned and nodded.
"And besides! I am already engaged to a music producer. See? Look Sebby! Isn't it beautiful?" Frida showed everyone her 24 carat Diamond engagement ring.
"Wow! This is so beautiful! Congratulations Frida! I am so proud of you BGF!" Barry pinched her cheeks as they both giggled with happiness.
Sara Lance became a bit intrigued on the way Barry and Frida called each other "What's a BGF?" she asked.
"Oh! It's Boy Girlfriend, because Sebby is…." Barry covered Frida's mouth but Sara got the meaning behind it. She is a bi afterall.
After a little bit of chitchat. When it was the Hoosierdaddies queue to perform on stage, Frida grabbed Barry's ear and whispered something to him.
"No, no, no, no Frida! Noooo! You can't!" everyone looked at Barry as he raised his voice and with a look of horror on his pretty face.
Frida ignored Barry's protest and she is giggling nonstop. And she lifted her megaphone again "Hey girls! Attack Sebastian now! Hurry!".
Barry was about to run, but a group of men in red long sleeves, bowtie with suspenders took a hold of him.
A group of girls, which is wearing the same dress as Frida's attacked him with kisses.
After the kiss attack. Barry was left stupefied on his place as Frida's group ascends the stage. With lipstick marks all over his face.
Eddie laughed so hard at the scene and approached Barry, putting his arms around his shoulder "Hey, brother who would have thought that you are so famous in both sexes. Give me your oozing sex appeal, will you?" he pinched Barry's side and tickled him. "Eddie stop! I can't breathe! Hahahaha! Stop! Iris help me!" both men laughed.
Eddie brought Barry back on their table and Iris wiped his face using wet tissues to remove the lipstick marks.
Tommy went towards Barry's side pinching his nose "My Barry! You are quite famous back in High School huh! You are really so cute. I bet any man and woman are dying to date a pretty boy like you" he teased the brunette and Barry just blushed and scratched the back of his head.
"Not really Tommy. Oliver is more famous" they both laughed and gave Oliver their teasing look "I second that my Barry!" he motioned behind Barry and gave him a squeezed hug and laid his head on the teenagers side, Barry holding Tommy's arms with both hands.
Iris took notice of Tommy's gesture towards Barry and how he addresses him. She could feel that there is something peculiar in the young Merlyn's actions. Does he like my brother? I need to ask Barry about this. When she shifted her eyes in Oliver Queen's direction, she could feel goosebumps in those piercing blue eyes. She followed the direction of the Billionaire's gaze and it landed to both Barry and Tommy. What was that look? Annoyance? Jealousy? Is Oliver Queen interested in my Brother as well? And it suddenly hits Iris, so the rumors were probably true? The young CEO of Queen Consolidated is a bisexual? She is aware of Tommy Merlyn's sexual preference. But Oliver Queen? She needs to get more scoop for this. Maybe just maybe, two handsome Billionaires is interested in her brother. She needs to tell Eddie about this new discovery, it gives her giggles. A love triangle perhaps? And Barry is the love interest. She can write a novel based on these three.
A minute later Barry's phone buzzed. Tommy looked at the SMS, their back hug position still remains "Oh, Rachel Berry? Isn't she that girl with Santana?" Barry nodded and he checked the message.
To: Sebastian
Fr.: Rachel Berry
Rachel Berry(9:15 pm): Hey.
Sebastian(9:17 pm): Hi Rachel. How can I help you?
Rachel Berry(9:18 pm): Can we talk now? I will wait for you near the girl's comfort room.
Sebastian(9:20 pm): Can you give me at least 30 mins. I will finish Frida's performance. Is that okay? Have you eaten by the way?
Rachel Berry(9:21 pm): Okay, see you in a bit. Yeah I did. Thank you.:)
Sebastian(9:22 pm): Okay. See you in a bit Rachel.:)
"Ladies and Gentlemen! It is an honor to have a special guest in my Brother's birthday party. Let us give a warm round of applause to a record winning performance from my friend Frida Romero!" Thea introduced her friend and as she descends from the stage, she gave a flying kiss to the asian beauty. The other mirrored Thea's gesture.
"Hello everyone! I would like to thank the Queen's for inviting me here on this special event. Happy Birthday again Oliver! Before I start my performance, I would like to thank this person who shared his song to me. I know that during this period when you wrote these two amazing songs, you are on the stage of your sadness, heartbreak and confusion and has given you Clarity , but at the end of the day you have found your Wings. Thank you for choosing me to interpret this songs Sebby! The Lyrics and melody is so great! Please enjoy our performance! And sing with me" after Frida's little introduction. Tommy whispered into Barry's ear "Wow! You are so multi-talented my Barry. You even composed a million hits song for Frida. I am so proud of you" he hugged him more tightly.
"Thank you Tommy" he whispered back smiling and he tightened his hold on the young Merlyn.
After the performance from Hoosierdaddies, which everyone enjoyed and danced with the rhythm and Barry sang with it. He excused himself to everyone in the table to meet with Rachel Berry.
Unbeknownst to Barry, Blaine Anderson followed him towards the area wherein he will meet up with Rachel and he made himself hidden.
May 16,2012 - 10:05 pm - Verdant - Beside the girl's comfort room
When Barry arrived at the meeting area, he saw Rachel standing there pacing back and forth.
"Hey Rachel" he walked towards the young Barbra Streisand. Well he loves calling her that, because of her vocal power.
"Hi Sebastian. Uummm….sorry for calling you out of the Blue" Barry took notice of Rachel's odd movements, she is fidgeting a lot and biting her lips.
"It is okay. What do you want to talk about? Is it about Santana? Look Rachel, I don't have the mood to talk about that latina. I am so sorry…" Rachel cut him off as Barry is trying to explain.
"No! It's not about Santana. It's about me. I want to make things straight. I like you Sebastian! I mean a lot! I know this might freak you out. I don't know how I get attracted to you, after all those insults you threw at me. I really don't know! It is so weird really" after Rachel's outburst, she decided to leave feeling ashamed, but Barry grabbed her forearm and forced her to look him in the eye.
"I don't know what to say about this sudden confession from you Rachel Berry. But you know that I can't…." he shook his head and gave her a sympathetic look.
"I know Sebastian. I am not expecting you to return my feelings. I just want you to know. I have to go. I am sorry for taking your time" he let go of her and Rachel left with a solemn look on her face.
Barry can't comprehend what he just had heard from Rachel Berry's confession, he finds it uncanny and yet he felt sorry for the Mckinley High Alumni. A minute later, he heard someone cleared his throat and he was pulled out of his musing. When he turned his direction towards the sound. His eyes widened.
"Blaine? What are you doing here?" he walked towards the former warbler and Blaine gave him a hug.
"Well, I got curious at Rachel's weird movements earlier. I was surprised when I saw that it was you whom she will meet at this odd location" both men checked on their milieu and they find it a bit funny that they were just outside the girl's comfort room.
They decided to transfer to another area, a secluded place and they continued their conversation.
"What's up Sebby? It's been a while, hadn't heard anything from you eversince you graduated from Dalton. And I am so sorry to hear what happened to your parents and sister" he takes Barry's hand to show his sympathy.
"Thank you Blaine. I am okay. Thanks to my foster family and I am getting there. I am happy" he smiled warmly. Blaine still holding his hands.
"I know this might sound odd but this got me so eager to know. Are you dating the famous billionaire Tommy Merlyn? He is a good catch. I must say" he asked cheekily.
"What! No! What made you say that?" Barry blushed so hard at Blaine's question.
"Because I can see how he looks at you and the way he shows his affection towards you earlier without any reservations. And you are reciprocating it Sebby, don't you dare deny it and you are blushing" he teased Barry.
"I am just comfortable with Tommy, because we became friends back in New York. Stop giving me that teasing look Blaine!" he let go of their hands and he was fidgeting a bit. "As if billionaires will get attracted to me, I am not that special. I am not attractive" he mumbled, but it didn't escaped Blaine's ears.
"Who said that you are not attractive? Men and women wants to devour you, don't you know that? Or you are just dense? Hey face me Sebastian. You know you've changed, I can see that. Right now the man before me is so extremely hot, lovely and kind hearted. Santana doesn't see that. She is still stuck with your bitchy self. I wanna ask you for a date you know. For a while now. When I saw you earlier, it was like wow! You've bloomed!" Blaine grabbed Barry's hand again with both his hands and they were face to face. He shows how earnest he is and he wants Barry to feel that he is very sincere on this matter.
"But how about you and Kurt? You even proposed to him, right? I even helped you on that. Please, I don't want to become a rebound on your failed relationship, if you can still fix things with him, do it before it's too late" he rebuked Blaine's invitation for a date.
Blaine was taken aback by Barry's rebuttal. He didn't expect this answer from the teenager. Because he knows long ago that Sebastian Smythe is so attracted to him that he even made advances which made him flustered. But now, the Sebastian Smythe in front of him is so different. He felt a remorse in his heart, deep inside he still love Kurt. But seeing Sebastian now, it gave him second thoughts.
"Blaine, I am so honored you asked me out on a date. If Kurt did not exist in our lives, I would definitely say yes. But, I can still see it in your eyes. Your love for him, it's still there. It is still strong. You have to fix it and don't you dare cheat" he gave Blaine an encouraging smile and he caressed his hand.
Blaine Anderson suddenly felt ashamed of himself. How could he do this, but he really admits it deep inside that he is also attracted now to Sebastian Smythe.
"I think we need to go Blaine, we have a performance together" Blaine just nodded, eyes on the floor while Barry drags him to the stage.
When they arrived near the stage, Kurt saw the two of them and walked towards their direction grabbing Blaine's hand and he gave Barry his poisonous death glare. He stepped back, because any word that might slip out of his lips, will result to another heated argument between him and the Mckinley Alumnus and he is so tired throwing useless insults.
Hunter approached Barry, grabbing his shoulders "Everything okay Sebby? What was that all about?" he inquired.
"It's nothing. Me and Blaine just talked and we patched things up" Hunter knows that there is something more to it. So he just gave Barry his knowing look. While the other is trying to avoid his gaze.
When everyone positioned themselves and the stage was being arranged in a Parking Lot setup. Everyone held their breaths as they saw again Barry and Santana face to face. Of course Santana wasn't alone, Blaine is beside her.
The Michael Jackson number of "Bad" is not so amateurish afterall. The audience didn't felt any heated anger nor fire between Barry and the latina. What they felt was a friendly competition. And everyone enjoyed the number.
After the number of Bad, the Dalton Academy Warblers will take the Grand Finale for tonight's show. They scattered themselves on the stage while Hunter Clarington positioned himself at the middle.
"I'm Hunter Clarington Vice Captain of the Dalton Academy Warblers, hope you enjoy the show" when the number started everyone gathered in the middle whistling. Oliver felt a bit downhearted that Barry is not the one who will do the Grand Finale.
But he was wrong after all. After the Whistle performance from Hunter, another Melody played and it was Barry who sang his version of Live While were young. Audience joining the performance through clapping and singing.
The song is full of energy and he could see how his Angel sing his heart out. Despite the heavy dance number, each and everyone of them did not ran out of breath, which is truly amazing. After the performance, people at Verdant cheered and whistled.
May 16, 2012 - 11:10 pm
"Wow! That was such an amazing Grand finale from the Dalton Academy Warblers! Let us give them again a warm round of applause! We would like to thank everyone from the famous Glee Club Schools who accepted our invitation and performed at my Brother's Birthday party. I can't thank you enough for this. This evening is truly astonishing! Full of surprises! Don't you agree?" everyone responded in unison a loud 'yes' from Thea's query.
"I know everyone is waiting for this. I know that I said earlier that no alcoholic and heavy drinks will be served. Since, this is themed as High School Reunion. Guess what? I have a surprise for everyone! Now!" Thea pointed at the other side of the stage revealing the hidden Bar, which is very well kept in a black wall, accompanied by the famous DJ Steve Aoki.
Everyone roared at the surprise and they rushed through the Bar and grabbed their drinks.
May 17, 2012 - 12:17 am
Most of the guest is already drunk at this time and they are dancing in the middle of the dance floor. Iris and Eddie dancing at the corner, and so is Sara and Laurel drinks in their hand. While Barry is currently on their table enjoying his fruit juice. Iris berated him earlier that he is still a minor and alcoholic drinks are not allowed or else Joe will kill him. He is accompanied by Tommy and Oliver, who just enjoys watching people do their silly moves on the dance floor and they comment on their every stupid dance steps.
10 minutes have passed and Nick approached them on the table, he looks kinda drunk "Hey Capin! Let's dance! Show me that booty steps of yours" the warbler just grinned and Barry just ignored his comments "Hey Nick! Don't you think that you are a bit drunk already?" he laughed at his flushed face.
"Huwhuuutttt! No I am not! Hey Capin! You know you are so pretty and sexy. I love that about you, can I court you again? Missing my Sebbyyyy so much. Ahhhhh….you always smell nice. So addicting" he hung his arms around Barry's shoulder, his eyes twinkling. And he buried his nose on Barry's neck "Capin, you are so addicting. I feel so sleepy now. I love you so so much Sebastian" he snuggled at Barry's neck even more.
Oliver flinched on the warbler's gesture towards his Angel. He wants to punch him on his face, but he won't do that. He might scare Barry away. He moved from his spot and approached the two of them and he started pulling Nick away from Barry.
"Hey! You are no fun Mr. Queen, I want to snuggle with my Capin moreeeeee…." he kept struggling in Oliver's hold, but the young CEO's grip is deathly strong. Barry thanked Oliver for what he did.
When Nick was able to escaped Oliver's strong hold, he was about to go towards Barry again. But Hunter beat him into it.
"Hey Nick. You idiot. I am going to kick your ass. Let me borrow Sebby, okay?" Hunter grabbed Barry's hands and they walked towards the back door. Barry looked worriedly at both Tommy and Oliver, and the two men felt a gut feeling that something bad will happen.
Tommy followed Barry and Hunter discreetly. While Oliver took care of the drunk Nick, calling the attention of the other members of the Warblers who is more sober. He will follow the three men after this.
Upon reaching their destination which is the back alley of the club. Hunter suddenly grabbed Barry's lapel and attacked him with kisses on his neck and he pushed him against the wall. He also started to untie Barry's necktie and unbuttoning his polo shirt. Barry is trying to push Hunter away. But he is too strong, knowing that he is from a Military School. Hunter removed his necktie and used it to tie Barry's hands. His hold is so strong and he can't get away from it. Hunter Clarington reeks of alcohol.
Barry is starting to hyperventilate.
"Hunter! Stop! You are drunk. What the hell are you doing let go of me! This isn't you!" he keeps on struggling from Hunter's advances and grip.
"Sebastian Smythe, I've been waiting for so long. I know that you are still a virgin. Never been kissed. Never been laid down. Don't you want to give it to me? I will take care of you. I love you so much Sebby. Give me a chance, please? If not I will take it by force" his clouded green eyes looks so frightening and it sends chills to Barry's spine. He doesn't like this, he has to fight back more. But he feels so weak right now.
Hunter started to unbutton his pants and he is caressing his private area. Barry is crying now and still struggling from the strong hold. Someone please help me.
Thank God and his prayers were answered, as someone grabbed Hunter and punched him on his face. He saw on his clouded vision that it was Tommy Merlyn who saved him. But he is still shaking, tears falls freely in his clouded hazel-green eyes. His knees gave out and he falls, hugging them out of fear.
He was taken out of his reverie when Tommy knelt in front of him "My Barry are you okay? Look at me, breathe in and breathe out. Come on relax. You are safe now" he grabbed Barry and he hugged the young brunette tightly. Barry is still shaking.
"Hey you! Merlyn!" Hunter stood up from his position, face bloodied. He attacked Tommy Merlyn, but the older man dodged it effortlessly, as he is more sober than this guy.
"Give my Sebby back to me! I am not yet done savouring him. You spoiled billionaire moron!" he keeps on punching the young Merlyn. But Tommy keeps on negating his attacks.
"No! Don't you dare touch My Barry! You idiotic, immature brat!" they kept on throwing punches on each other as they exchanged insulting words.
Barry is still staggered from his position and he doesn't move an inch. He is just watching both Tommy and Hunter, as they exchange blows at each other.
"Why do you keep calling him your Barry huh? Why? Are you his boyfriend or something?" he spitted blood in front of Tommy.
"Because I love my Barry! I love him so damn much that if he is hurt even a single strand of his hair, I will murder everyone who gets in the way! I love him! I love him and I will do everything to make him happy! He doesn't deserve this! He doesn't deserve you!" he advances towards Hunter, grabbing the lapel from his Dalton uniform. Tommy gritted his teeth out of anger, on what this guy did to Barry and he punched him nonstop. His eyes is clouded with so much anger.
Tommy was taken out of his trance when someone touched him on his shoulder "Tommy, stop. That's enough" when he turned towards the direction of the voice, it was his best friend Oliver Queen. Blue eyes filled with so much worry.
And damn! He forgot his Barry!
When the two men turned their eyes towards Barry, his eyes still filled with tears. Oliver approached Barry, he removed the necktie that is still tied up on his wrist and bruises were already forming and he fixed Barry's disheveled uniform.
"Tommy? Is it true? Is it true? Is it true?" Barry is so confused, voice trembling, he is holding his head and he is still shaking. This evening he really can't comprehend what had happened. What is so special about him? Tommy Merlyn, just admitted in front of him and Hunter Clarington how he felt towards him.
Tommy Merlyn is in love with me? How? Why me?
"Barry? Hey look at me. Hey. Shhhh…." Oliver Queen held the young brunette's face. He is so worried, and yet those beautiful hazel-green eyes filled with tears. He finds it beautiful. Barry reminds him of a mermaid crying and his tears were made out of Pearls.
Barry suddenly pushed Oliver away "Leave me alone!" and he ran.
"Barry!" Oliver and Tommy both shouted in unison. Both filled with worry.
May 17, 2012 - 2:25 AM
Barry ran, he ran nonstop. He is so confused at everything. Until his feet and legs burned with pain, he suddenly realized that his feet brought him at Starling City's harbor. The sounds of the ocean wave gave him peace. It reminds him of the time when he, his Dad and his Mom builds sand castle. He pulled out a pen and a paper from the pocket of his Dalton Uniform. And he wrote to the only person, who will understand and love him despite his faults. And he cried his heart out, all alone. Ignoring all the calls and messages from his mobile phone.
Daddy….I need you right now….where are you?
May 17, 2012 - 3:00 AM
"Felicity! Is Dig and Roy with you?" Oliver adjusted his bluetooth headset while talking to the blonde.
"Yes they are here Oliver. What is the problem?" he can hear on the other line that the blonde is typing furiously.
"Barry is missing, I will give the coordinates of his last location. Tell Roy and Dig to follow me there and bring my gear. Call Caitlin as well, we might need her medical assistance" Oliver ignited his motorcycle and screw the speed limit rules, he needs to find his Angel. There is a painful gut feeling that something bad is happening, he is not a religious person. But he prayed to the heavens above to keep Barry Allen safe. Starling City is no safe place at this hour.
When he arrived at the location, Barry is nowhere to be found. And yet he still followed the GPS, upon arriving at the exact location, what he found was Barry's phone and a piece of paper?
Oliver checked the paper and it is addressed to him. Not directly to him, but to his alter ego Robin Smith. The letter is short but he can feel how scared and confused Barry was. He needs to find him soon.
15 minutes later Roy in his Arsenal suit and Diggle arrived, throwing the duffle bag to Oliver for him to change into his arrow gear.
They scanned the whole area and find no traces of Barry Allen.
Every minute, every second counts. Oliver Queen became so anxious. Diggle suddenly spoke in their communicator, that he have found some movements near the abandoned warehouse. He rushed to the said location and he saw something familiar, a young lad being cradled carried to an empty cot. When they got a better view of the victim's face, Oliver's vision was covered in red.
Barry!
Oliver acted without any second thoughts, Roy and Diggle followed. They attacked both men and made them confessed on what they are planning to do with Barry. He tortured the both of them to spill the beans out. Until one of them gave in and spoke with his heavily thick Russian accent.
"We are going to bring him as a merchandise tomorrow at the Cruise Ship, which will dock at Starling City by midnight. You know, he is fresh and we will be millionaires!" despite the man's bloodied face, he still has the guts to spit and mock the Arrow. After the short confession, he knocked both of them and commanded Roy to bring them to SCPD, with a case of human trafficking. He needs to discuss this with his team as they might be more victims of this illegal deal.
When he approached Barry's unconscious form, he checked on his pulse. He is alive thank God. But what caught him off guard was, Barry's pulse is getting weaker. What type of drug did they use to him?
He once again tapped on his communicator "Felicity is Caitlin already with you? I will be bringing Barry now! His pulse is getting weaker. I don't know what types of drugs did they administer to him".
"Caitlin is already here Oliver, everything is prepared. We will wait for you" he could sense that the blonde is panicking a bit on the other side of the line.
Oliver carried Barry and brought him to the van. Diggle will drive Oliver's motorcycle back to the foundry.
May 17, 2012 - 4:17 AM
As Oliver arrived at the foundry, he rushed downstairs carrying Barry. Caitlin is already waiting and the medical bed is set. He laid down the young Brunette and he is so worried about his condition. When he got a good view of Barry's face, he looks so deathly pale.
"John! Please help me here, bring a defibrillator. Oliver, perform a CPR on Barry. He is having a cardiac arrest. I need to administer some drugs to stabilize him" Oliver rushed besides Barry and performed a CPR on him. No, this isn't happening! Barry! Come on! You can't leave me now!
When John bought the defibrillator to Barry's side, Caitlin started to stabilize the young Brunette's heartbeat. 20 minutes have passed and they were able to stabilize him. Dextrose were administered and unknown liquids through his right arm.
Oliver felt so relieved that his angel is safe now. He thought he was going to lose him, it was like the weight on his shoulders has been lifted. He is very grateful for his team and to Dr. Caitlin Snow.
After an hour Caitlin informed them on what type of drugs has been used on Barry, there was chloroform to knock him out and a mix of Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid or also known as Date Rape Drug in other simple terms. Although Caitlin has yet to identify the other strong components that is injected to Barry, which caused his cardiac arrest. She also informed everyone that Barry will wake up in the next 12 hours, and the medicine that she administered will quickly wash away the drugs which will be left untraced, in case a drug test will be performed to Barry. She also used a rape test kit to make sure that the teenager was not raped. Just to make sure. A smile form on her lips that nothing bad has happened to the teenager. And she could see in Oliver Queen's eyes on how much he cared for him.
"I will go now. You can remove the dextrose to him in 1 hour. Where do you plan on taking him Oliver?" the Doctor asked as she is starting to pack her tools.
"I will take Barry to the Queen's Mansion. I will inform his family and our friends that we have found him. Thank you for all the help Caitlin" Oliver stood up and squeezed the young Doctor's shoulder.
"I can see it in your eyes Oliver, how much you care about him. And I will be always here for you. You are like an older brother to me" she smiled warmly at the vigilante.
And the Doctor left the foundry.
May 17, 2012 - 5:32 AM
To: Tommy Merlyn
Fr: Oliver Queen
Oliver Queen(5:33 am): Tommy, I found Barry. He is now with me at the Queen's Mansion. He is currently unconscious though.
Tommy Merlyn(5:37 am): What! What happened Ollie? Iris and Eddie is still with me. We will go there as soon as we can.
Oliver Queen(5:40 am): See you soon. The suspects were already brought to Captain Lance's care. They want to interview Barry about the incident.

Dear Daddy,
I don't know what happened but I woke up in a warm fuzzy bed. It is so fuzzy, that I don't want to get up. I feel so lazyyyy. But then what kept me awake is someone caressing my hair. It should lulled me back to sleep, but this one is different.
When I realize who it was. I jolted out of the bed and we bumped each other's forehead. Like 'awwwwwww!'. Oh my God Daddy! It's Oliver Queen! Mister Blue Eyes! is he watching over me the whole time? I hope I did not drooled while I was sleeping or else I will die of embarrassment!
Oliver asked me what was the last thing that I remembered. I told him that - I am crying in the harbor and writing a letter to you. And...nooo! Those two thugs! Who puts me to sleep. I asked what happened to Oliver and he told me that he just arrived on time as the two kidnappers is taking me to their van. And I should not worry, because I am safe now and they are being taken care of by SCPD. They needed my statement though, soon.
I am glad that Oliver arrived on time and saved me. I owe him my life. But then again, realization hit me. I need to contact Iris, and let her know that I am safe. But Oliver told me that he has already taken care of it. Iris and Eddie is already at the Queen's mansion, waiting for me to wake up.
I don't know what hit me Daddy. But I started to cry….I don't know what this is, but I am so grateful for Oliver being so understanding. I hugged him so tight and cried nonstop. And saying a million 'Thank you'. While he caressed my back to calm me down. I feel a bit stupid thought. But he told me that it is okay to cry and he will always be there for me, if I needed someone to talk to. Oliver Queen, has a golden heart. Curse those tabloids for the fake news about him.
Funny thing Daddy is that my stomach growled. Oliver laughed at it "Oh wow! Your monster tummy is angry now, let us eat dinner. Let's go". Really! He just called my tummy a monster! Who would have thought that he has a lil sense of humour? And I was sleeping that long? It's like 7 pm! Ouch!
When I get out of the bed. It piqued my interest and asked Oliver if who is the owner of the room, I already have the answer but I hate assuming things. It is bad as my Mom told me "Always ask question Bear". So, I am correct I was in Oliver Queen's room and wow his room is huge! It was like a 5 star hotel. I can see pictures on his desk and I also saw that my birthday gift for him is placed with them, it made me happy! And I checked on some of the pictures when he was younger 'awwww! Isn't that a cinnamon roll?'. I can't stop myself from giggling as I imagine the young Oliver Queen running around this huge mansion, while their servants is running out of their breaths trying to catch him.
The Queen's Mansion is so beautiful Daddy! I wish you were here with me. They have lots of bodyguard and servants. They even have a personal chef. Reminds me of Adriana. I miss her cooking.
I also met her Mom and Dad. Mrs. Moira Queen, is very beautiful despite her age and Mr. Robert Queen looks like a sweet Dad. They just got back from their trip in Europe.
When we arrived at the Dining Hall, I saw Iris and Eddie and they ran towards me and I almost got suffocated from their hug. They are so overprotective of me Daddy! Iris is almost crying and she is so worried about me. I asked her if she told Joe about what happened and she said he didn't know yet, but we both know that news will reach him since Captain Quentin Lance is a close friend of him.
Tommy Merlyn is also there. My heart skipped a bit. I am not mad at him Daddy, it's just that I am seeing things a bit different now. I know he wants to hug me, but he was hesitant. So I made the first move. I hugged Tommy so tight, and I thanked him for saving me from Hunter. I can feel that he feels relieved that I am safe and I am not mad at him. All is well. I love Tommy. But I can't determine what type of love it is. Because I am attracted to someone else. I am still confused. But Tommy holds a special place in my heart. Should I give him a chance? Will you approve of him Daddy?
When we pulled apart, I can see the unshed tears from Tommy. And I gave him my warm smile. I caressed his face. Everything is going to be alright.
We ate our dinner and we enjoyed our chitchat. I enjoyed talking to Oliver's Dad, because he is a huge fan of History and he can speak french too! I am a bit intimidated of Oliver's Mother though, because she keeps asking me about my family, my status and such…...good thing Oliver and Tommy felt my uneasiness on this conversation. So they switched the topic about Oliver's surprise birthday party.
The dinner went well all in all. And I want to take a shower now! I feel so dirty.
Iris, brought my bag with my clothes in it. I thanked her too for bringing my Dalton Uniform. She said she brought it secretly, because I might change my mind. And she was right. I am so grateful for my foster sister. I asked Iris if I could extend my time here in Starling City. She became skeptical about it after what had happened, but Oliver assured them that he will take good care of me. Which is, I am so grateful for it. So Iris has no choice but to agree and she will let Joe know about it. I will also make a call before I go to sleep.
"Bear, I need scoops okay?" was Iris last words to me before heading home. Like really Sis? I ain't journalist!
Tommy reassured me as well that he will take care of my family and he will bring them home back in Central.
Is it okay Daddy if I can extend at least 2-3 days in Starling? I decided to extend, because Oliver asked me earlier if I want to familiarize myself around the area. Since I am moving here a month and a half from now.
And you know the other reason? I want to ride his Ducati! I love speed! Cool isn't it? You can feel the rush of Velocity through your veins. If I were to chose what kind of powers I want to have, it would be having a superspeed and helping people. And who knows I will be the Arrow's newest sidekick! Pretty cool huh!
My Daddy dear, your Bear feels sleepy now. Don't worry I did brush my teeth and took a shower. I will be sleeping at the Guest Room. Even though Oliver insisted that we share. I don't want to invade his personal space.
I love you Daddy dear!
Love,
Barry
P.S. I look stupid on my PJs. It's Winnie the Pooh. Seriously Iris? But I have no choice.

****Incoming Call Mister Magician****
Tommy: Hi Barry.
Barry: Hello Tommy! Are you okay? You sound sad?
Tommy: No, I am okay. It's just that.(a deep breath can be heard from the other side of the line).
Barry: Tommy? Are you hurt?
Tommy: It should be me who is asking you that Barry, not the other way around.(he giggled). Barry, you now know how I felt for you. Is everything going to change now? Between us?

Tommy: Good night and I love you. Give me a chance?

****************Call Ended**************
12:17 AM
Tommy smiled at how Barry called him Mister Magician, it does makes sense because his last name is Merlyn. He smiled at it and he adored Barry even more. When Tommy dropped the call, he felt relieved and worried at the same time. He felt like he betrayed his best friend Oliver Queen and Laurel. He needs to talk to Laurel about this. He don't know how to tell Oliver yet.
May 18, 2012 - 7:00 am
Oliver Queen is excited for today's activity. He called Felicity to inform the blonde that he will take the day off at QC and reschedule all his board meetings on Monday, because he will tour Barry around Starling City using his Motorcycle. A loud squeak was heard from the other side of the line.
He remembered how the teenager beamed with joy and admitting to him, on how much he loved his Ducati. He knocked softly on the guest room door, but he did not received any response. Oliver turned the doorknob slowly.
Upon entering the room a huge smile formed on his face. There it was Barry sleeping soundly, covers are scattered and he was sleeping like a starfish. And his little stomach is exposed. Oh, he has well defined abs. The archer was astonished on the view before him. As much as he wants to enjoy the view more. He needs to wake Barry up to start their day. But before that he stole a picture of a sleeping Barry.
When he sat on the teenagers side. He heard him mumbling something. Is he dreaming?
"Lollie, where are you? You are not visiting Harold Park anymore? Have you forgotten about me? Don't you want to play with me anymore?" a single tear escaped Barry's eyes.
Oliver was stunned when he heard the words uttered by his Angel. He felt a little guilty about it, because he was not able to keep his promise to him. But now that he is here, he will make the day fruitful for Barry.
"Lollie is here. If you just knew. I will make it up to you Bear. I promise" a sad smile formed on his lips.
It is time to wake the sleeping Angel.
"Barry, wake up. Hey. We have a big day ahead of us" he is softly shaking the teenager.
"Joe, Eddie…..5 more minutes. Love ya both" Barry turned facing Oliver's side. He can't help but giggle at the teenagers response.
"Sad to say Barry. I am not Joe or Eddie. It's Oliver" when the young brunette heard Oliver, he suddenly got up. And the older man have to dodge to prevent what had happened the previous night. Or else a bruise will form on his forehead.
"Oh! I am so sorry Mr. Queen Sir! I am fully awake now!" Barry looks so adorable, hair and pajamas are disheveled and eyes still looks groggy. Oliver can't contain his laughter, he laughed so hard and loud.
Barry just looked at him and grinned sheepishly and scratching the back of his head.
"I will wait for you at the living room Barry, while our servants are still preparing breakfast. Okay? See you in a bit" Oliver left Barry on his own accord as the teenager prepare himself for today.
15 minutes later Barry emerged to the living room. Oliver eyed the teenager from head to toe. And wow, he looks so damn good. Wearing a Dark Beige Cardigan with a white lining on the lapel and a dark v-neck t-shirt inside, with accessories and bracelet. Plus a black slim jeans that emphasizes his long and lean legs. And a dark brown leather shoes. He remembered that those are the clothes he bought for him. Barry's hair is long though, he fixed it on a half-moon bun with side braids on it.
"Hey Barry you look good. I mean it" he stood up and guided the teenager to the sofa. Barry smiled warmly and said thank you to the complement.
The grand piano caught Barry's eyes and suddenly an idea hit him.
"Hey Oliver. While we are waiting for breakfast. Why don't we sing together? It's fun!" Barry stood up and grabbed the billionaire's hand. As he guided him towards the grand piano.
"I can't Barry. I am a terrible singer. Why don't you just sing for me? Please?" Oliver pleaded, but Barry has none of it.
"Na-uh! I will blend with you and we sing together! What genre do you want?" as they sat on the piano. Barry set his phone on the side.
Oliver Queen has no choice, doesn't he? He won't make Barry disappointed in him. So he gave in "How about broadway? Phantom of the opera? Music of the night. I love that song" he suggested.
"Wow! That is so cool! I know how to play it. You are a broadway fan. We are the same Oliver! Cool!" Barry beamed with so much joy and this warmth Oliver's heart.
Oliver, pulled out his phone to look for the lyrics. Afterwards he placed it in front of him and Barry.
"Ready Oliver?"
"Ready when you are Barry"
Both smiled warmly at each other.
Barry started to play the tune and he started singing the first stanza.
Barry
Night time sharpens
Heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses
Abandon their defenses
Oliver
Slowly, gently
Night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it
Tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
From the garish light of day.
Turn your thoughts away
From cold, unfeeling light,
And listen to the music of the night.
When Barry heard Oliver sang the next stanza. He can't help but smile. Not a good singer huh? Who would have thought that Oliver Queen has a hidden talent. And it's not my secret to tell.
Barry
Close your eyes
And surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before.
Close your eyes,
Let your spirit start to soar.
And you'll live as you've never lived before.
Oliver
Softly, deftly
Music shall caress you
Feel it, hear it
Secretly possess you
Open up your mind
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness that you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Barry & Oliver
Let your mind
Start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Barry
Let your soul take you where you long to be.
As Barry hit the high note, Oliver is so impressed.
Oliver
Only then can you belong to me
He held Barry's face and looked at him with a serene look on his face. And full of love.
Oliver
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Barry
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
Barry & Oliver
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
As Barry hits the last note of the song from the piano. He and Oliver locked their gazes on each other, solid blue meets sweet hazel-green.
Oliver unconsciously moved his left hand to Barry's forearm holding it tightly, while his right hand caresses his beautiful face. This is the first time that Oliver Queen is savouring every inch of Barry's facial features. He is so beautiful.
He can see that Barry is blushing at their current position. And that song they sang together is so magical. He never thought that he can sing like this.
"Oliver?"
"Barry…..I…."
Barry unconsciously closed his eyes. Which caught Oliver off guard, oh those long eyelashes, his blushing cheeks with tiny freckles on it and those kissable lips. Oliver can no longer resist the invitation anymore.
He inched himself forward and he can feel the warm breath that is emitting from the young brunette. He traced those pinkish lips with his thumb and he felt Barry's hands on his shoulder as his form of invitation to the young CEO.
As he was about to close the gap between them….
"Good Morning Oliver! Hi Barry! Breakfast is ready!" the two of them was broken out of their own world, when they heard Thea Queen calling for them.
"Did I just interrupted something? And I heard singing earlier. And wow it's been ages since I heard this house filled with songs" she is currently chewing on the spanish bread that was obviously stolen at the kitchen.
Barry and Oliver just stared at each other and it was Barry who breaks the ice. His voice is trembling a bit. Which didn't escaped the younger Queen's observation. And Oliver felt disappointed on his Sister's sudden appearance.
"Good Morning Thea! I am so hungry right now. After all that singing. What's for breakfast? Let's go Oliver!" he grabbed his phone and Oliver's hand bringing them to the dining hall.
Unbeknownst to Oliver. Barry recorded their duet.
This is going to be a very long and exciting day.
