Oliver closed the door and then sat next to his sister. They sat in silence for a moment before she broke it. "What is your problem with Barry?"

"I don't have a problem with Barry. I just…. Ugh." He laid back on her bed. Why does this have to be so difficult he thought.

"You just what? Ollie, what is with you?"

"Why is this so difficult for us? Being honest and telling each other stuff. Being completely open with each other. I mean we are related."

"We weren't always."

"Tell me something I don't know. Two years of us…" he trailed off.

"Having sex…. It is okay to admit it. We didn't know we were related in any way back then and to be fair we thought we were never getting off of Lian Yu."

"I know." He sighed. "It isn't that I don't like Barry. It is just that if you get involved with him again I am scared that you are going to get hurt again. And….." he trailed off and mumbled something.

"Ollie…." Kylee glared at her older brother.

"And I was hoping of maybe convincing you to come back to Star City."

"What?!"
"Yeah I thought maybe…. I don't know. It could be like old times. Me and you against the world."

"Ollie. I…. I can't just leave Barry."

Oliver chuckles. "I am too late."

"What? Oliver what is going on?"

"You are in love Ky! That's what's going on."

Kylee stopped for a moment. She hadn't thought about being in love with Barry.

"Come on Ky. It is so obvious. Yeah you and Sara have this weird sexual thing. But with Barry it is so much more than that. He is willing to lay down his life for you. You can't ignore that."

She sighed. He was right. There was no denying that Sara ignited her but it was just sexual. She felt more when she was with Barry.

"So there's no chance of you coming home then?"

She sat in silence for a minute. "I am home." She looked at Oliver who was visibly hurt. "Ever since I moved, things have been different. With you and Laurel and everyone in Star City. I can't just ignore that. I love you, Ollie. You and Thea are my family. But…" she sighed.

Oliver looked at her for a moment. "They are too. You're right. We haven't exactly been the greatest since you left last year. I… we… the situation sucked and most of them blamed you. But I know it was my fault. And you're obviously happy here."

"It isn't your fault Ollie. It…. we…. Ugh. My being here is no one's fault. I got transferred."

"Because of the Arrow."

"Oliver, stop. This isn't your fault. I am happy here, but I do miss being with you." Oliver looked questioningly at her. "This started out with you, me, Sara, Dig, and Felicity. And now look at the mess we have created. I miss the days when it was just us. But that's over. I miss knowing you and Sara have my back every time I suit up, but I know Barry will do what is ever necessary to keep me safe."

"I… I… I guess never thought of that."

"I do. A lot. It's hard not to. Sara, you and me are in such different places all we can do is argue. Back in the earlier days, we never fought. We trusted each other's decisions without hesitation. But now… now it is just so difficult for us to even be in the same room."

They sat in silence for a moment, then Oliver spoke up. "Do you ever think about how much different life would be without the Gambit?"

"All the time. But never once have I ever regretted getting on that god forsaken boat. Compared to the people we were, we are better off."

"We are. But is everyone else?"

Silence remained until there was a knock at the door. "Oliver everyone is leaving. You coming with us?" Laurel said from the other side of the door.

"Yeah I'll be down in a second." They both stood up.

"This is going to be different. I promise" Kylee said, shaking.

"Not that different." He chuckled. "You belong with Barry." He hugged her and then kissed her head.

She smiled. "Yeah."
