Disclaimer: This is not mine. This is CW's. Therefore, I do not own it. Are we clear now?


Oliver slammed his bow down on the table as he entered the Cave, Barry limping timidly behind him. He could immediately feel the tension escalate as they entered the room, but he couldn't find it in himself to care.

They had one chance.

One chance to capture this meta. One chance to stop her.

One chance to save Barry.

It was that last thought on the forefront of his mind that kept eating away at his every thought. The table rattled from the sudden shock of his weapon being placed on it, as the room went deathly silent.

Oliver stood there, jaw tensed and hands on hips. He stared at Cisco, fire burning in his eyes, while everyone simply stood there; afraid of what would surely happen next.

"Oliver, I'm so-"

"Damn it, Cisco!" He suddenly yelled, and the younger man he was accusing visibly flinched.

"I didn't m-"

"We had one chance!" Cisco cringed again, and Oliver's voice went eerily calm with his next words. "We had one chance. This could've been our only shot at catching this meta and you screwed it up." Oliver declared, his words cruel and cold. Oliver frowned, his brows furrowing with angered confusion."I thought you were supposed to be the smart one-"

"Hey!" Felicity suddenly shouted, cutting him off. "That is enough."

"It wasn't-...his fault...Oliver." Barry huffed out, grimacing as he limped up next to Oliver. And the sight that greeted him along with the strained breathing that came along when he looked over at Barry sent him over the edge. Maybe rationally he knew it wasn't the young engineer's fault, but at this point the only way he saw it was that there only chance to stop Barry from dying was gone.

"Yeah, well, maybe it wasn't. But you have lost my trust. I want you benched the next time we go after this meta." And with those final words, Oliver walked away, leaving behind the devastated engineer and the baffled team.

"Wha-Oliver-" Barry began to interrupt, but Oliver was already out of the room; silently fuming. Once he was alone, he closed his eyes and sighed. This was too much. There was no way he could possibly harm, let alone kill Barry. Just no way. Maybe that vision was fake; just put in his brain to mess him.

God knows it was working.

But he knew that there was no way it could be fake. And that fact alone was sending him over the edge. He heard quiet footsteps enter in the room, and knew immediately by the uneven gait just who it was.

"Leave me alone, Barry." He heard a quiet sigh.

"You know I can't do that, Ollie." Oliver's jaw tensed at the familiar nickname.

"You can and you will." Oliver ground out, his tone dark.

"What has gotten into you? What happened out there was not Cisco's fault. Do you even realize how much you hurt him by saying all of tha-"

"Of course I do!" Oliver shouted as he turned around to face the other man, his fist slamming into the wall as he towered above him. Barry's eyes filled with fear as he nearly flinched away. Oliver's heart skipped a beat when he saw the fear in Barry's eyes; his stomach sinking as he realized it was the same look he had seen in the vision.

He could still feel Barry's throat in his hand as the young man pleaded with him for his life.

He mentally shook his head out of the memory as his shoulders sunk and he bowed his head; all residual tension leaving his body. "I-I'm sorry." He whispered, losing all of the anger in his words only moments before.

"Me too." Barry quietly replied, and when Oliver looked up, he saw the hurt, nearly betrayed look on his face and couldn't help but compare this situation to the one that was destined to occur all too soon. The younger man turned around, relying on the crutches that Caitlin must have given him in that short time, and Oliver's fingers twitched with the need of helping Barry.

Or at least trying to apologize. But that wasn't in Oliver Queen's nature. As Barry limped away, Oliver could only hope and pray that they would get another chance to defeat this meta. There was no way he could let any of that vision happen.

But one by one he was turning his team against him. He couldn't tell them about what he saw; there were too many things that could go wrong with that. He was bound and determined to not let that vision happen.

But with every moment that passed, Oliver saw more and more reality of it coming true and even less hope of being able to stop it.


Short but not so sweet. Anywho, hopefully I'll be back soon with some more and until then; have a lovely day you beautiful human!
