Whilst everyone was preparing to stead their own platforms, Barry takes Oliver to a new case. One know hasn't known about.
"Where is it that you are taking me?", Oliver asked.
"Need you geared up Ollie", Barry notioned. "Can't fight aliens without a suit. Can't you?".
Oliver doesn't need a suit to keep up with higher feats, he only needs his signature weapons.
When Barry mentioned 'suit', it made Oliver begot to think about Cisco, as he's the one who designs all the tech for everyone. Mostly Team Arrow and his own.
"In regards to that, shouldn't Cisco be here", Oliver brought out. A low nod in Barry was minded. "Look, I know you two aren't in the healthiest spot. Since you told me about it some time ago. There are times when you have to take a precaution. Especially for this mission, you both need to understand that no matter the issue. Personal or not. You both have to rely on each other".
Barry slowly took those words in, prior to nodding to his friend, as he advances to the case. He opens it, revealing to Oliver, a mannequin wearing a full-sleeved suit. Oliver recognised it. It was amalgam of suit he use to wear in the previous timeline. When he fought Damian Darhk.
"Well in all points topped, we are all ready", said Oliver. Which got Barry to think amount someone else.
"What about Kara?", Barry put it out.
"Kara?", Oliver designated on. "She will come around".
"Why? Has anything happened?", Barry asked, worryingly, knowing he could be one of the people that might share two or three of experience, related to Kara's.
Oliver imposes a posture that tells Barry to not go in.
"Okay", Barry says.
Computer geeks Felicity and Cisco are momentarily devising their rhythms in views to tackling Parademons. No most qualified luck for them, meaning no such luck for the league.
"Hey", Felicity brighten Cisco from the computing wig. "I...can't help but notice things are a little bit tense". She smoothed her posture to a more lighter tone scavenging on Cisco's thoughts, like she does as a principle of her own interrogation. At a certain level. "You don't need a little bit of vibe to figure that out". She moves her
"Okay so apparently it's like illegal to be mad at Barry", Cisco lined. "But guess what? He screws up. Just like the rest of us".
"Yeah", Felicity agreed, thoroughly on a different viewpoint of Barry. "And when he does, he feels bad like the rest of us too".
"Felicity he took it upon himself to change the timeline", Cisco pointed out, making Felicity slightly freeze, as she has no other point to counter his allegations on his former friend. "And because of that, my brother...". He feels weak every time he mentions someone that got him deepened into his sorrow. "...was killed". Felicity had no way to hit back at him. He's far off from conviction. "So there is no amount of feeling bad I could make up for that". Cisco looks back at Felicity again. "And not to be so intent in prying yours, but I could see you have bad feelings of your own". Perplexing Felicity. "Oliver".
"Cisco there is nothing-"
"It is bad", said Cisco. Felicity nodded. "We both have friends that will stab us in the back. Like Barry ungenerously showed".
They both admitted in the inside. Two shells smashed by creators of their own crusade.
Oliver, who was fully suited up, and Barry, in Flash suit, were just about to enter the training platform, only to cross paths with familiar friends.
"Barry", Jefferson called, gaining the said name's attention. "Before we start training, there's something you to hear".
"A message that would be better if we could share with you in private", Martin requested, briefly discerning Oliver who came by Barry's side.
"Alright, I'll step away", Oliver accepted, understanding this of a personal matter.
"No. No. It's fine. He can stay", Barry said, expressing his overall trust in relations to Oliver, regardless of the latter keeping some secrets from him.
"Alright", Martin allowed. "But no one else". Martin and Jefferson looks for a secret room to temporarily patch in.
"Alright", Barry nodded, shortly overlooking the others, who are almost prepped to train. "Let's make it quick".
The four enter another mini-bunker, separate from the one Oliver placed Kara in.
As the four calmly sat down, Martin took his recording device out, in a suitable state to play it. Once Martin tapped on the button, Oliver and Barry quietly listened.
"A war is coming Captain Hunter". Barry and Oliver recognised it to be Barry's. Barry never revenues lines like these, not even the way the voice conveys. "A deadly war that was on oath to swear down the souls of every inhabitant on Earth to its devil. A world where Earth's Men of Steel die and Dark Knights fall". The Arrow-Flash duo never heard an event like that happen in any of their times. Most of those events, it was only facing revelant-less foes. Though some were proved to overpower them, like Reverse Flash. "And at some point you are going to be called back to Central City to fight a war that will will pa-rail as the beginning of the ultimate crises", future Barry spoke, under records. "So you need to know that while you and your team have been in the temporal zone, I, as well as a distant friend, made a choice that affected the timelines of all worlds. That will deplete under a deity's reign", he spoke. "As you know, whenever you alter the past those changes affect the present and get compounded in the future. When you return, you will be in various sets of timelines where everyone's past and everyone's future has been affected. Including yours. When you come back don't trust anything or anyone. Not even me".
When the play ended, Barry was staggered with emotions. Feelings Oliver silently sympathised with him. The latter told him what happened before. When Oliver heard the phrase 'distant friend', he began to ponder who was it. Someone who changed a timeline of theirs. He knew one other person, other than Barry that could've set this motion in. Both Barry and Oliver were told that the message was sent 40 years in the future, which profoundly gasts them. Assuming that there is no bright future, it'd put a stroll in Barry, as he played a part that tabled these events.
When Martin played the recording to Barry and Oliver. Unbeknownst to them, Kara was listening with super-hearing. Packed words strained her ease in mind. How events take into fold. When she heard 'distant friend', she knew who the future Flash was referring to.
"It's all my fault", Kara deemed. "I played a part. I was so mad at Non, that I...". She couldn't be dived to say another word. She needed to run away. It was a good thing she had an extrapolator to travel in-between regions, worlds. Cause she needed some comfort. From someone of a family.
