When Barry, Cisco and now Kara went back through the portal to the airplane hangar it had appeared that everyone was already set up and now waiting for Barry's instructions. The fact that they all wanted to listen to him made Barry feel sick, he didn't deserve their attention, he was just a worthless piece of nothing.
"Barry I thought you were bringing an an alien?" Thea asked unconvinced as she saw Supergirl in her suit.
"She is an alien" Barry said and then Kara flew up to demonstrate her powers.
"Cool" replied Diggle.
"She's hot" Sara Lance noted. "Now what about this alien invasion we're supposed to "be stopping?" She asked and all eyes fell again to Barry and once again he felt uncomfortable with everyone staring.
"They're called the Dominators" John surprisingly spoke up and Barry was grateful . "Lyla told me about them".
"Great. So Barry, what are we doing to stop them?" Ray Palmer asked.
"Why am I suddenly the leader?" Barry asked.
"Well you are the one who brought us all together" Kara offered but it just made Barry feel worse.
"No technically that wasn't me" he told them all.
"Why are trying to back out of all this?" Sara asked.
"I'm not" Barry replied, knowing that he didn't really deserve to be standing with all the heroes anyways.
"It sounds like you are" Mick grunted.
"I swear I'm not" Barry said.
"So be the damn leader and tell us what you think we should do" Sara said.
"Sara!" Oliver yelled. "Would everyone just stop beating up on Barry right now?"
"No one was doing anything Ollie" Thea said.
"Thea stay out of this" Oliver warned.
"Stay out of what Ollie?" Sara asked. "Why Barry suddenly doesn't find himself qualified to lead a group to fight an alien invasion, or why no one is gonna mention why he looks like crap" she said pointing to the scarlet speedster who indeed looked like he'd seen better days.
"Sara, come on" Jefferson said.
"Don't tell you don't see it too?" Sara asked. "Or why Team Flash doesn't look too whole at the moment?"
"What is she talking about, Barry?" Kara asked.
"Yes what is going on? I think if we're gonna all be a team for this then there shouldn't be any secrets" Ray said.
"I think you should tell them" Cisco spoke up. "They're gonna find out eventually" he said.
"Find out about what?" Sara asked.
"That i messed up the timeline" Barry said and then he went on to explain everything about the effects of Flashpoint, while trying to avoid looking at John and Cisco both whose lives Barry changed.
"Barry what the hell?" Sara asked. "You know how careful we have to be to not to change anything when we go back in time?"
"Yeah I-"
"But you thought it was just okay to change time for your own personal needs?"
"You don't understand-"
"I've wanted so many times to go back save Laurel but I never did because I know the repercussions it can have. Barry do you realize how selfish that was?" Sara asked and that's when Barry began yelling.
"Of course I realized that! Don't you know how much I wish I could go back and fix everything?" Barry asked. "The guilt about everything I've done to people I care about has been eating me alive for months! I can barely sleep knowing what I've done, so don't try to tell me that I don't understand the repercussions of my actions because you don't know the half of it!" And then Barry was gone, storming out of the hangar with red bolts of lighting surrounding him as he ran.
"I'm going after him" Oliver said, and then he too was gone.
"You're not mad?" Sara asked Cisco and John knowing what Barry had done to both their family members. John remained silent but Cisco spoke. "I was, really mad in the beginning and I said some things that I wish I could take back. But you have to know that no matter how much hatred you feel about Barry for what he did, trust me he's feeling that for himself but like a million times worse. And all of that pain and hatred, it's eating him alive" Cisco said.
