Chapter 8
Meanwhile Oliver had pulled Felicity into a side room to talk. She had tried to get him to say something but he insisted on staying silent until they were behind closed doors. Once he got into the room and pulled the door shut she started talking.
"No matter what is going on there is no need to drag me around Star Labs like that." She complained rubbing her wrists.
In reply he handed her a sheet of paper.
"What's this?" She opened the paper and as her eyes scanned the page they got wider and wider almost looking like they would pop out of her head.
"The DNA test," Oliver answered pacing, "He's mine. Felicity I have a son."
"Um.. Ok let's not panic. We need to find a way to meet with Sandra again. You deserve to meet him."
"She said his name was Connor."
"You deserve to meet Connor. But we can't rush into this. Does Barry know what this test is?"
"I don't think so. I told him to tell no one."
"Good, we don't need the drama. Ok. We go back to see Sandra and tell her that you know. I think that's the first step, you need to convince her you've changed."
"Ok, but I was thinking after this whole mess is over we should go home."
"To Star?"
"Barry's convinced me. They need me back home I know you've been helping them out behind my back."
"I guess I'm caught."
"I realize I shouldn't have asked you to leave that life. Because once you enter it you never can truly leave. I'm truly sorry I brought you into this whole mess in the first place."
"And I'm not. So what's the plan?"
"Go home. Though I can't be the Arrow anymore, Ra'as ruined that for me."
"So become someone else, something else."
"What do you think of the Green Arrow?"
"I think it's perfect. Ok, so we're decided. We finish business up here including meeting your son. Then we pack up and go home."
"Do you think we can go see Sandra and Connor now?" Felicity opened her mouth to reply when Caitlyn's voice sounded through the labs.
"Guys, Cisco's up. Everyone is needed in the main cortex."
"After this. Let's go see what's going on." Felicity exited the room with Oliver following at her feet.
"What happened to Cisco?" Felicity asked when everyone entered the room.
"He fainted." Wally answered.
"No," Cisco corrected, "I vibed."
"Vibed?" Ronnie looked bewildered.
"That's what I'm calling it when I see alternate universes or timelines."
"You used your power?" For once Oliver actually looked concerned.
"Yeah, I saw you."
"What?" Had Cisco seen the whole conversation he just had with Felicity?
"I saw an alternate you. Sitting with a blonde Laurel, Roy, a baby and a woman with orange in a satellite in space."
"Wait you were in the Watchtower?" Wally interrupted.
"What's the Watchtower?" Joe entered with Iris.
"The league's secret base in space. It's a satellite. A women in orange… You saw Artemis! Is she okay? How big is Lian? Did you see anyone else?"
"Um yeah. I didn't really disrupt any conversations but I saw the guy you called Superman, as well as a guy dressed like a bat who I guess was Batman. HE was talking to a guy in a blue and black suit."
"That's Nightwing. Is he okay? Did it look like he was overtired? Is he overworking himself again?"
"He just looked sad. I also saw Barry."
"Did you see Aunt Iris too? Is she okay? Did they have the babies yet?"
"Babies?" Iris and Barry cried out.
"I guess I forgot to tell you in my universe you'rd about to become parents."
"Um no. I didn't see a pregnant Iris. I saw a little dude, he was in the same costume you were in when we found you. But he and Barry were standing near what seemed to be a memorial statue of you."
"They think I'm dead." Wally sighed plopping himself in a chair.
"Not anymore. I managed to write a note on the other me's hand. Said you were alive in an alternate universe." Everyone just looked at Cisco in shock.
"You did what?" Felicity asked.
"Why was the other you even in this super secret superhero hideout?" Barry asked.
"I'm guessing it's because he's a hero. Did I mention how sick my costume is? Caitlyn can you hand me some paper I need to sketch this out."
"Not now Cisco," Caitlyn let out an exasperated sigh. "Do you think that Wally's family will figure it out?"
"They will." Wally nodded confidently.
"Who will what?" Roy walked in dressed as always in red hoodie and jeans.
"Roy!" Felicity cried out and ran over to give her brother in all but blood a hug.
"It's good to see you again." Oliver said walking over and putting his hand on Roy's shoulder."
"That's your Roy?" Wally gasped laughing, "I need a picture to bring home."
"What does he mean your Roy?" Roy's eyebrow knitted together.
"I'll explain. Have you heard from the others?" Barry asked.
"They're on their way."
"Good," Oliver replied, "Look Felicity and I have something to take care off. We'll be back soon."
"Go ahead." Joe said.
"Remember, you're meeting me and Caitlyn at Jitters later." Iris reminded Felicity pushing her out the door.
"Tell Thea and Laurel they can come too." Caitlyn said over her shoulder as she started putting the medical supplies away.
Barry and Oliver shared a look, the women in their lives having a coffee date? They were doomed for sure.
