Oliver was first to reach the warehouse where he was told he would find Barry. He had raced through the dark night hoping to get to the boy as soon as possible. Slowly peeking inside he saw the warehouse was empty. Taking his an arrow out Oliver was on alert. It was very dark making it difficult for him to see but that wasn't going to stop him from finding his friend. He came across a locked room and kicked it open. The vigilante nearly gasped at the scene infront of him.

Barry was on the floor in a corner of the room. His hands and legs shackled with heavy metal chains and was bleeding heavily from his head. He rushed towards the boy "Barry?" The boy looked at him with blurry eyes and suddenly went limp. Oliver's worry heightened. He hunched down to check for a pluse "Thank God!" The older man then took Barry's head on his lap "Barry! Hey..open your eyes..Barry!"

Barry remained unconsious. Oliver quickly pulled out his cell "Where are you? I found him"

Joe slammed on the brakes "We are here"

"Last door to the left side of the entrance" Oliver instructed. He placed his palm on Barry's forehead to stop the bleeding.

Joe Cisco and Caitlin came barging seconds later "Oh my God! Barry?" Joe gasped when he saw Barry

"We need to cut the chains...He is bleeding bad"

Joe nodded "Cisco! There is tool box under my car seat. Go!" Cisco ran out of the room while Caitlin moved towards her friend. She checked him for other injuries "He has some broken ribs and bruises but its the head wound I am worried about. It doesn't look good"

Anger flood through Oliver's veins. He wanted to kill the man who hurt his friend. Cisco came with the tool box and Joe cautiously cut opened Barry's chains. They heard a small moan escape from the boy's mouth as the cuts on his wrists were reopened, small drops of blood popping up. Joe's eyes stung with tears seeing his son in pain. Oliver hushed the boy softly "It's okay Barry...we got you"

Together they manage free Barry and carry him out of the warehouse. Joe sped through the busy streets in order to get to Star labs. Barry was then gently laid on a stretcher and they quickly made their way to med bay.

Caitlin first attended the head wound cleaning and stitching him up. They were glad the speedster was still unconsious. She then wrapped his broken ribs and bloody wrists "I don't understand...he is not healing"

"What? Why?" Joe's voice showed fear and concern

Caitlin was checking the monitors "I don't know...he seems fine now but he is healing like a normal human being.. I have to do some more tests...something is wrong"

"Then do it! What are you waiting for"

The doctor faced Joe "I can't do more test on him unless his injuries are healed. It might cause more damage. We have to wait for him to wake up"

The group sighed. Now came the hard part. Waiting for Barry to heal and wake up.

SIX HOURS LATER

Barry groaned in his sleep. His hand went to his head where it was plusing with pain. He slowly tried to open his eyes but quickly shut them again. He heard footsteps coming near him and his heart started to beat widly

"Barr! It's me...open your eyes son"

Barry again tried. This time he saw a figure hovering over him. His eyes widened with fear and he scrambled out of his bed hitting the tray in process and landed hard on the floor. The boy hissed at the sudden fall.

"Barry! What are you doing?" Joe went to catch his falling son but Barry swatted his hands away.

"Barr?"

The boy didn't answer. He pushed his legs backwards and hid himself under the bed looking at Joe with wide fearful eyes. Hearing the commotion Cisco Caitlin and Oliver came running into the med bay. They saw Barry was awake but.. what was he doing under the bed?

"Barry? What is he doing under the bed?" asked a confused Cisco. Joe was equally baffled "I don't know. He just woke up in fear and got under of the bed"

Caitlin came forward and bend down "Barry...why don't you come out so I can check your injuries"

Barry didn't seem to hear her. He appeared to be in deep thoughts, his hand scratching the stiches. Fearing Barry will tear open the stiches, Caitlin tried to stop him by holding his hand but Barry lashed out at her. He pushed her with both hands and curled himself wimpering

Caitlin landed on the floor, shocked by Barry's behaviour. All them were stunned and puzzled on what was going on "Maybe he's mind is still in that warehouse" Cisco came up with a reason. He too bend down to see his friend "Barry...buddy come out. No one is going to hurt you okay...you are safe"

Barry got more upset. He tightly covered his ears with both hands and started crying. Cisco frowned "Why is he acting like this?"

"I don't know... I have to run some tests to find out. Barry please come out" Caitlin tried again . The boy only cried harder and curled himself even more

"Son..please come out. No one is going to hurt you" Joe extended his hand but Barry didn't move an inch

When Cisco Caitlin and Joe failed to calm Barry down, Oliver came forward "Move...Let me try"

The doctor and the engineer got up from the floor and Oliver took their place "Hey.. calm down Barry. Everything is going to be alright"

Barry immediately stopped crying after hearing Oliver's voice and turned to face the man. The vigilante was surprised that Barry had listened to him but he was glad the boy had stopped crying "Okay good..now can you come out so we can get you to bed" Oliver talked softly trying to coax the boy

Barry made no indication that he understood

"Barry?" Oliver tried again

This time Barry locked his eyes with Oliver. He wimpered softly. The older man was never a fan of hugs but right now he so badly wanted to take the boy in his arms and hug him. He wanted to assure him that he was safe again. He wondered what happened in two days that put his friend in this state of mind. He took a deep breath "Barry...do you want me to help you get up?"

Oliver was rewarded with a small nod.

Good! That was little progress.

Oliver took hold of Barry's arm and slowly pulled the boy out. He made Barry lie down on the bed again "Now let Miss Snow check you" he took a step back only to be stopped by the boy who held his shirt tightly with his fingers

Barry was shaking again. He clutched Oliver's shirt and pulled the man close to him and shook his head many times.

"He doesn't want you to leave" Cisco wispered to Oliver

Oliver nodded and stood close to Barry. He knew the boy was scared of something and right now his presence was calming him so he would help him any way possible. Oliver placed his hand on Barry's shoulder "I am not going anywhere. Let the doctor check you"

Barry curled up against Oliver's hand. He tried to hide himself from Caitlin. Again all were confused what was going on with their friend . Caitlin thought for a moment "Oliver why don't you ask him some questions I tell you. He is responding to you more than us"

Oliver nodded again. Caitlin began with the simple one "Ask him does he know where he is?"

Oliver ran his hand on Barry's back "Barry do you know where you are?"

Barry signed something with his hand which no one understood so Caitlin asked Oliver to question him again. Oliver shook his head "He said 'No'!"

"What?"

Oliver faced the group "He just used a sign language. He showed 'No' with his fingers"

Cisco took a step forward "Sign language? Barry knows ASL?" he looked at Joe for answers but the old man stood shocked on his feet

Caitlin asked the next question "Does he recognise us?"

"Do you know who they are?"

Barry again responded with the sign language 'No'

"Why can't he speak?" Cisco was firing questions

"Does he recognise Joe?"

"Barry...look Joe is here. You know him don't you?"

After few seconds Barry turned his head to look at Joe but didn't make any move or action.

"What about you? Does he know you?" Caitlin pointed at Oliver

"You know me?"

Barry just hugged Oliver tightly wrapping his arms on the older man's waist. He started crying again. No one could understand what the hell was going on. Why was Barry acting this way. Why wasn't he recognizing anyone. Why was he only answering to Oliver.

Caitlin thought for a moment "Oliver...one last question. Ask him his age and date"

Oliver hushed the boy "Barry..calm down buddy. One last question okay...then you can rest". Barry looked at Oliver with tear strained eyes

"How old are you and what date is today?"

Barry signed something different than before which made Oliver's eyes go wide "Oh God" he wispered

Cisco asked impatiently "What did he say?"

"He says he can't remember the date and... he is around fifteen"
