Iron Heights prison

Morning

"You didn't have to stop by." Oliver told Barry as they sat in the visitor's section.

"Yeah I did. It's my fault you're in here." Barry told him but Oliver shook his head.

"You saved my life Barry. You made the best choice you could at the time." Oliver assured him and Barry sighed.

"Oliver, about Black Siren-"

"It's okay Barry," Oliver cut him off, "I'm still not happy about it or with you… but it's not exactly something that you just say over coffee. I just wish you would have told us."

"I should have told you but I can't change the past. Well I could but it's not a smart move. All I can do is make a better future." Barry told him.

"You're learning." Oliver said with a slight smile.

Barry nodded before placing the phone back on the hook. As the guards turned to take Oliver back to his cell, Barry walked out, noting all the changes in security.

Arrow lair

Afternoon

"They've really upgraded their security since Oliver and I have been gone." Nyssa noted as Team Arrow looked at the holographic layout of Iron Heights.

"Dad and D.A.'s office put a lot of pressure on them after you left. Pointed out that if it wasn't for their lax security, Damien Darhk wouldn't have gotten out of his cell and Laurel would still be alive. The constant breakouts from Iron Heights only enforced the arguments, so Iron Heights reinforced their security." Sara explained.

"It's not gonna be easy to break Oliver out." Roy noted as he tightened his grip around Thea.

"Oliver and I got Lyla out of the most secure prison in Russia. We can get Oliver out of Iron Heights." Diggle assured him.

"Plus, we've got Barry to help us and no one knows the layout better than him." Sara pointed out.

Star Labs

Same time

"Barry, I don't think you should do this." Joe said as Barry looked at the layout of Iron Heights.

"He's in there because of me. He's always helped me, helped us, when we needed him. I'm doing this Joe." Barry said firmly.

"Barry, he's a murderer. He deserves to be there." Joe told him and Barry glared at him.

"Do I deserve to be there?" Barry asked and Joe was taken back. "I killed the first Metahuman Zoom sent after me. I let Oliver kill Damien Darhk, I basically killed Zoom, I helped Oliver kill Lex. So do I deserve to be in prison as well?"

"Barry…" Joe trailed off.

"You can't have it both ways Joe. If you want to bring Oliver in, you gotta take me in to." Barry said before he turned and stormed off.

Iron Heights

Same time

Oliver was in line with some of his fellow prisoners, when one of them decked the police officer at the end. As the other prisoners tackled the other one and began beating him, the first prisoner took the officer's gun and took aim at Oliver.

"I've been waiting a long time for this." The man snarled.

"Sorry Komodo, I don't feel like dying today." Oliver said evenly.

Komodo sneered and fired at Oliver, who ducked and winced as pain shot through him. As Komodo moved in, Oliver used a well-aimed kick to knock him off his feet. Komodo went down and Oliver punched him hard enough to knock him out. As Oliver stood up shakily, he saw the other prisoners still beating the guard. He pain seemed to fade as he rushed towards the scene. Oliver grabbed the back of one of the prisoners and threw him off the guard. The other prisoners then jumped off the guard and lunged for Oliver. Oliver delivered a power kick to one's face, sending the prisoner into a wall and knocking him unconscious. As the other two lunged for him, Oliver ducked down and knocked them off their feet by sweeping their legs out from under them. As they feel on their backs and Oliver stood up, both sides of the hallway were suddenly flooded with guards.

"Freeze!" One shouted as they all took aim at Oliver.

"Don't," The guard that Komodo had attacked mumbled as he sat up, "he was only trying to help."

"Are you okay?" Oliver asked.

"Yeah…but you're not." The guard noted concerned.

Oliver looked down to see blooding running down his side, staining his grey jumpsuit. Oliver swayed on his knees before falling forward as it all went black.

Arrow Lair

Later in the afternoon

"Hey, we got a problem." Quentin said as he walked into the lair.

"What is it dad?" Sara asked as they all looked over at him.

"I got a call from Iron Heights. Oliver was attacked." Quentin told them and they all tensed.

"Is he alright?" Thea asked worriedly.

"He's fine but he aggravated his injuries and is in the medical wing. You guys need to move fast or he's not gonna last much longer in there." Quentin told them.

"Don't worry. Tomorrow night, we break Oliver out." Diggle said firmly.
