Here's Part 6.
Leave a review after reading, please.
Special thanks to Reven of Darkness, Clash of the Legends, Nightbat0204, Lauriver4ever, Darkness032, Lazy Speedster, and Hadi276 for reviewing the previous chapter.
I'm sure there are some who notice that I'm doing the same thing with Killer Frost in this story as I did in "Unforgivable", making her the main villain. As a matter of fact, I do notice as well. Just to make sure none of you mention this again, I will tell you that I don't intend to keep her on the black area for long. That's all.
Flash arrives at the area where the energy burst occurred. He sees that it was originating from below, so he enters through another manhole. Inside, he sees Killer Frost directing electricity to a big pod. The pod was shaking, meaning there was something inside.
"Saw the fight. I figured you and The Arrow became best buds and just played for the audience to end the fight," said Killer Frost.
"I thought the plan was to kill Iris if I don't kill The Arrow," said Flash.
"Or he kills you, yes," replied Killer Frost. "But since you both walked out of that fight alive, I have to switch to Plan B."
"Caitlin, please, no more," pleaded Flash.
"Not a chance, Flash," said Killer Frost. "Silverstone City has no heroes, and after tonight, everyone will believe that."
"I thought we were friends," said Flash. "I trusted you. I was always there for you when you were down. I invited you to have Christmas with my family."
Killer Frost didn't respond. She just stared at the pod.
"Are you just gonna pretend that all the good times we had together never existed?" asked Flash. "Saving this city? Helping with each other's homework? Having coffee at Jitters?"
Killer Frost continues to ignore him. Flash walks towards Killer Frost and looks at her in the eye.
"I know you're angry," said Flash. "But should that justify all of this death and destruction?"
Killer Frost continues to be silent.
Flash puts his hands on both her shoulders and says, "Tell me, then. What's Harrison Wells' secret?"
Finally, Killer Frost spoke. "You think that's gonna talk me into stopping?"
"I just want to understand," said Flash. "What is it about Wells that turned you into this?"
"Apart from the particle accelerator, everything," answered Killer Frost. "You're a smart guy, Barry. You'll find out."
"I don't want to wait, Caitlin," said Flash.
"Don't call me that," growled Killer Frost. "I'm not Caitlin Snow anymore."
"You expect me to believe that?" asked Flash. "White hair. Blue lips. Ice powers. They don't just change you entirely. I know you're still you underneath all that cold."
"What makes you think that?" asked Killer Frost.
"Because I can tell. You hate yourself for what happened to you mother," said Flash.
"My mother? She stopped being my mother a long time ago," said Killer Frost. "I'm glad she's dead."
"You don't mean that," said Flash.
Killer Frost kicks Flash in the stomach, knocking him away from her. She then fires an ice beam, freezing his entire mid-section, causing him to fall. Killer Frost places her hand on the print scanner of the pod. It started to open slowly.
"See you later, Flash," said Killer Frost, walking away. "If you can live through this."
Flash started vibrating to heat himself up and melt the ice. The pod continues to open slowly, until the creature inside breaks the door with own hand. Flash gets back on his feet in time to see what was inside the pod. It was ten feet tall, appears to be alien, and has crystal-like spikes all over its body. The second it saw Flash, it roars.
"Holy shoot," muttered Flash.
Meanwhile, at the docks, the Arrow and Black Canary are on the top of a warehouse overlooking another warehouse.
"Well, this is the place," said The Arrow.
"Shouldn't Supergirl be here?" asked Black Canary, looking around to see that the Girl of Steel in nowhere in sight.
"She went to check on Barry," said The Arrow.
"I just can't believe it was him the whole time," said Black Canary. "Makes sense, though. Barry Allen idolized The Hood, hence the Halloween costume. The Flash sees The Hood as his inspiration."
"We can discuss this later," said The Arrow. "Right now, let's save Iris."
"Supergirl said there are at least two dozen hostiles on the third floor," said Black Canary. "Maybe we should surprise them. Use the second floor."
"Good thinking," said The Arrow.
Inside the warehouse, Captain Cold, Heat Wave, and Golden Glider were guarding Iris, who was tied up to a chair. They had a digital clock so they will know when it's time to kill her. There was only two minutes and twenty seconds left before 9:30.
Heat Wave was prepping his Heat Gun. "I can't wait to use this."
"From the looks of it, the Flash didn't off Robin Hood," said Captain Cold, watching the footage of the ending of the battle on his phone.
Golden Glider looks at Iris and says, "Any last words, Ms. West?"
"The Flash will save me. I know he will," said Iris.
Golden Glider chuckles in amusement, doubting that the Scarlet Speedster will come. "Keep on thinking that," she said.
...
Meanwhile, outside the door, two dozen armed thugs are staying alert in case of attack. Suddenly, they heard an explosion on the floor below. They all trained their guns at the door where the intruder can walk in after walking up the stairs.
Unexpectedly, a flare goes off, stunning the gunmen, as an arrow smashes through floor and sticks to the ceiling. Green Arrow zips himself up with Black Canary holding onto him tight. Black Canary lets go and then unleashes her sonic scream, disorienting everyone in the room.
One gunman fires at the hole on the floor caused by the arrow, believing the bow-wielding vigilante is down there. Suddenly, an arrow pierces him in the leg and lifts him up, dangling him up-side down. The Arrow descends to the floor, grabs one thug's arm, breaks it, and uses the gun in his hand to fire at the other men, causing them to duck for cover.
After flipping the gunman, The Arrow sees one thug about to fire. He immediately fires an arrow and hits the thug in the shoulder. He runs towards the thug and punches him down to the hole in the floor. One thug was about to use a grenade. The Arrow kicks the man hanging up-side down towards the thug with the grenade. The two collide and the grenade goes off, killing them both.
The Arrow and Black Canary started fighting the rest of the thugs hand-to-hand. Black Canary shows her partner how much she's learned. She keeps her fists straight, her feet in place, and reacts to any hits from behind. One henchman tried to slice her with a knife, but she dodges his swings. She grabs him arm, knocks the knife of his hand, before slamming him to the ground.
The Arrow fires an arrow at a crate and then pulls on the cable hard, throwing the crate at a couple of thugs, slamming them towards a wall. He started firing arrows, killing more henchmen, until one knocks the bow off his hand with a gunshot. He then engages four thugs at the same time. They were all armed with knives. Luckily, he manages to disarm them as he throws his hardest punches. He punches two in the face at the same time before elbowing the thug behind him in the face. He twists one man's arm as he kicks another thug's knee. The Arrow twists the man's arm even more before uppercutting him in the face. The last of the four rushed towards him, but he punches him hard in the face. He then finishes him by punching him down, smashing his face on the floor.
Black Canary whacks a couple of thugs with her bo-staff, all while being graceful and quick with her movements. One tried to attack her from behind, but she spins out of his way before kicking him down. She then punches him in the face over and over again. One henchman was about to shoot Black Canary in the back of her head, but The Arrow shoots at arrow at his arm. Black Canary finishes thug with a few bo-staff swings, followed by a kick to the face.
One henchman kicks The Arrow in the chest and another grabs the back of his suit, dragging him to the floor. The Arrow kicks one in the knee before elbowing the other thug in the face. He was about to sit up, but one thug kicks him back down. The other thug pierces his left shoulder with a knife. The Arrow kicks the one thug in the calf to knock him down. He hits the henchman to his left in the face with his knee as he gets back on his feet. The thug he kicked down gets back up, but The Arrow immediately knocks him down by punching him in the gut. He then turns his attention back to the one who knifed him. The Arrow takes the knife out of his shoulder, pushes the thug towards a wall, and then nails him to the wall by stabbing him in the left shoulder with the knife. The other thug gets up and tries to attack him from behind, but The Arrow takes him out by kneeing him in the stomach and then throwing him to a wall.
The Arrow looks back at the henchman nailed to the wall. He was shaking and stuttering in fear. The Arrow takes out an arrow as he stares him down. The thug pleaded for his life, but The Arrow quickly pierced him in the heart with stomach with the arrow, killing him.
The Arrow turns around and sees Black Canary punching a pinned man in the face multiple times until he was out cold. Black Canary looks at The Arrow, who gives a her nod that tells her, "Nice job."
...
Inside the other room, Iris and the rogues could hear the fighting outside the door. While the rogues had their guns aimed at the door, Iris started to smile, hoping it was the Flash coming to her rescue again. Unexpectedly, The Arrow bursts through the wall, grabbing Heat Wave and aiming his gun at Captain Cold.
Golden Glider aims her gun at Iris and says, "Drop it or I'll kill her."
"I'd do what the girl says, Robin Hood," said Heat Wave.
"Believe me, Legolas. I'll do it," said Golden Glider, trying to sound as serious as she can.
"I believe you," said The Arrow.
Black Canary's sonic scream breaks through the door and disorients everyone in the room. The Arrow slams Heat Wave's face to the wall. Black Canary grabs Golden Glider and kicks her towards Captain Cold.
The Arrow started untying Iris.
"It's okay," said The Arrow. "I'm not here to hurt you."
"I know you're innocent," said Iris. "The recorder on the table. It's all the proof we need."
Black Canary picks up the recorder.
The Arrow tells his partner, "Take her home. I'll go meet up with the Flash."
"You and Flash are buddies now?" asked Iris.
"I'm sure he'll tell you all about it," said The Arrow.
The Flash is currently flying in the air, not because he can, but because he was thrown high into the sky by a twelve-foot alien. He crashes into CatCo and stops at Cat Grant's desk. Cat did the polite thing and helped the Flash get back on his feet.
"Any reason you decided to come flying in?" asked Cat.
"Yeah. It's big. It's scary. And it's strong," answered Flash.
"By the way, I saw the rooftop shot of you with The Arrow, Supergirl, and some blonde dressed in black," said Cat. "I assume she's a friend of our hooded avenger. She stopped you from killing him, but why still punch him?"
"Oh, uh, that was for the audience," explained Flash.
"Oh, and BTW, why were you attempting to throw him off a roof?" asked Cat.
"I, uh... it's a long story," said Flash. "I'm sorry, Ms. Grant, but I don't have the time. I promise, we'll talk later."
Flash runs out of CatCo and stops when he saw the alien creature. It was tearing the streets apart and firing thermal energy blasts from its eyes and mouth, destroying everything in sight. Civilians were running away in terror. Flash did his best to save anyone in danger. When the creature saw him, it fired at him. Flash runs away to avoid the blast.
"Barry, you got to get whatever the heck that thing is away from the city," said Cisco.
"Same thought," replied Flash. He looks at the creature and says, "Hey! You want to tear someone apart, try me!"
Flash started running. The creature gives chase and jumps after him. Flash had to dodge one thermal blast after another, while trying to make sure no one is harmed. He keeps on running until he arrives at a power plant outside the city. The creature drops from above and makes yet another ground-breaking landing.
Before either one can make a move, the creature gets tossed towards the power plant by Supergirl. The building explodes with the creature still inside. Supergirl walks out of the flames unscathed and approaches the Scarlet Speedster.
The two stared at each other for a while. Flash decided to take off his cowl.
"Kara Danvers," he said.
"Barry Allen," greeted Supergirl.
"When I saw you the other day, no glasses, no ponytail, I thought you reminded me of someone," said Flash.
"And I always wondered why Barry Allen sounded like someone I know," said Supergirl.
"This is better," said Flash. "No more masks or glasses."
Supergirl chuckles in amusement.
"Our first date. Who was I talking to? Barry Allen or The Flash?" asked Supergirl
"Both, I guess," said Flash. "What about you? Was I going out with Kara Danvers or Supergirl?"
"Both," replied Supergirl.
The two superheroes smiled at each other. They slowly leaned towards each other, but before their lips touched, they heard someone coming. It was The Arrow.
"Am I interrupting something?" joked The Arrow.
"Uh, kinda, yeah," said Supergirl.
The Arrow takes off his mask and hood, revealing his face.
"Who would've thought? Three boxing partners at high school turn out to be Silverstone's finest heroes," said Flash.
"I don't believe in coincidences," said The Arrow. "But yeah, it is funny when you think about it. What's even funnier is that I didn't know before today."
Suddenly, the trio could hear roaring within the flames of the destroyed power plant. The creature was still alive.
The Arrow looks at Flash and says, "I was on my to meet you, then I saw yellow lightning running away from some alien monster. Thought I'd follow."
"What is that thing?" asked Flash.
"Doomsday," answered Supergirl. "It's a monster created by a tyrant on my planet named General Zod. He created him using one of the corpses of his fallen soldiers. Its purpose was to help him win the war for Krypton."
"But it didn't go down with Krypton. Where was it?" asked Flash.
"Fort Rozz. A Kryptonian prison that crashed here the same time I did," answered Supergirl. "Superman fought it two years ago, and he won. It wasn't easy, though."
Supergirl gets a call through her comm-link. It was Alex.
"Kara, Lord Technologies' power plant just disappeared from our radar," said Alex. "What did you do?"
"I just threw Doomsday inside," answered Supergirl. "Though, it seems that it didn't work."
"Not only did your reckless move fail, but you just made things worse," said Hank. "Doomsday feeds on energy. The more energy it consumes, the stronger it gets."
"Oops," said Supergirl.
"Uh, oops?" asked Flash, confused.
Supergirl tells Alex, "It's Kryptonian, right? Then we need Kryptonite. Can you send some over?"
"But that stuff will hurt you," said Alex.
"Don't worry. I'm not alone," said Supergirl. "I'm with The Flash and The Arrow."
"Okay, we'll send an aerial package ASAP," said Alex.
"Just keep that thing away from civilians, Ms. Danvers," said Hank.
Supergirl faces her fellow costumed heroes and says, "Stand your ground, boys. We're in for a long fight."
Flash puts his cowl back on. Green Arrow puts on his mask and hood. Supergirl curls her hands into fists, ready for another fight.
Doomsday emerges from the power plant, growing bigger until it stood at fifteen feet tall. More crystal-like spikes emerged from its body. As it powers up, it unleashes a wave of energy throughout the area. The Arrow hides in a pile of rubble, while Supergirl shields Flash with her cape. The energy wave destroys nearby buildings, reducing them to rubble.
Flash and Supergirl were both unharmed. The Arrow comes out from underneath the rubble barely unscathed.
"Oliver, you got any explosive arrows in that quiver?" asked Flash.
"A couple," answered The Arrow. "Though I doubt that will do anything to a Kryptonian."
"We don't have to beat it. We just have to keep it busy until the package arrives," said Supergirl. "Oliver, you're our sniper. Barry, back me up."
The Arrow keeps his distance while the two super-powered heroes engage Doomsday. Supergirl double-punches Doomsday in the chest, sending Doomsday flying back. Flash races past the still-airborne Doomsday and hits it in the back with a vibrating punch. Doomsday falls on his face, but immediately gets back up. Supergirl flies fast towards Doomsday, but it punches her hard, knocking her into a pile of rubble. It tries to punch Flash, but misses over and over again. Flash runs circles around Doomsday, speed-punching it in the arms, legs, and back, to little avail. Flash kept on running and punching, until Doomsday smacks him aside.
Supergirl emerges from the rubble and fires her heat vision. Doomsday fires its thermal blast. The two beams cross. Doomsday's beam, however, was overpowering Supergirl's. In the end, Doomsday's thermal blast hits Supergirl, sending her flying down again.
Flash runs towards Doomsday at high speed and punches him hard in the back, knocking him down. Flash dodges its thermal blast before running all over Doomsday, trying to irritate him. Doomsday, however, grabs Flash off its body and throws him towards a building.
Supergirl gets back in the fight and punches Doomsday repeatedly. Doomsday throws its fist at Supergirl, she catches it with both her head. She then lifts Doomsday and slams him to the ground. She fires her heat vision, which barely harmed Doomsday. It gets up smacks Supergirl aside. Supergirl stays in the air and flies forward. She pushes Doomsday forward until she releases, letting the creature fly backwards. Flash emerges from the building he crashed in and throws a vibrating punch at Doomsday's head, knocking him down.
"Man, this thing is tough," said Flash.
"It's Kryptonian. It's supposed to be tough," said Supergirl.
Doomsday gets back up again. Flash runs over and elbows Doomsday in the leg as hard as he could, tripping it. Before it could fall on its back, Supergirl pounds its chest, causing it to fall on the ground hard.
"Hey, remember that combo move we did on Halloween?" asked Flash.
"How could I forget?" replied Supergirl with a smile.
Flash grabs Supergirl's hand as he started running in circles. Supergirl started spinning, which helps Flash run even faster. After twenty seconds of running and spinning, Supergirl throws Flash at Doomsday. Flash punches Doomsday in the mid-section with a supersonic punch, knocking it back a couple dozen feet away.
While Doomsday lies on his back, Flash and Supergirl hi-five and smile at each other.
The Arrow watches from the distance. This fight was making him realize how much the world's changed and a how a mere mortal like him compares to things like metahumans and aliens. He feels insignificant compared to Flash, Supergirl, and Doomsday, but he was not going to run away. No matter what odds he faces, he never backs down from a fight.
Meanwhile, on the top of a building, Killer Frost watches the fight. Her entertainment would be interrupted when a certain yellow-clad speedster shows up.
"Harrison Wells. Figured you'd drop by," said Killer Frost.
"You know who I am?" asked Reverse Flash, surprised.
"All I wanted was a confession, but look at us now," replied Killer Frost.
Reverse Flash stops vibrating his face and disguising his voice, since Killer Frost knows his identity.
"If the Flash dies, you will pay for this," said Reverse Flash.
"What? You're gonna kill me?" Killer Frost simply giggled. "You kill me, you accomplish nothing."
"Was my refusal to confess the only reason you're doing this?" asked Reverse Flash.
"Everything that's happened, who I have become, is because of you," said Killer Frost. "Ever since Barry Allen came into my life, I thought I was making a difference by helping him save this city. But all I've done is aid you in whatever sick plan you have in mind. You want the Flash to get better, stronger, and faster. I don't know why, but I know enough."
"If you don't want me to succeed, why not just kill the Flash yourself?" asked Reverse Flash.
Killer Frost didn't answer the question. She just continued watching the fight afar.
"You still care about him," guessed Reverse Flash. "Deep down inside, you still see him as a friend. If you kill him, you'll destroy yourself."
"I don't know what you're talking about," replied Killer Frost, trying to convince herself.
"Even if the Flash dies at the hands of that abomination, his blood will be on your hands," said Reverse Flash.
"Aren't you gonna go down there and prevent the Flash from getting killed?" asked Killer Frost. "You need him alive, don't you?"
"I don't need to help him," said Reverse Flash. "I've seen how capable the Flash really is. He may still be green, but I know he can overcome this."
Killer Frost chuckles. "We'll see about that."
Reverse Flash leaves Killer Frost alone.
Supergirl punches Doomsday in the face, who, in turn, punches back. After the punch, it quickly fires a thermal blast that pushes Supergirl dozens of feet away. Once again, the Girl of Steel is buried under rubble. Doomsday turns around and sees the Flash running towards it. It simply smacks Flash aside as hard as it could.
The Arrow takes out an explosive arrow and an electric arrow. He fires them at the time and hits Doomsday. All this accomplished is attracting its attention. The Arrow immediately fires a grappling hook arrow towards a building, zipping himself away before Doomsday could pounce on him. The Arrow plants his feet on the side of the building as Doomsday fires another thermal blast. The Arrow swings on the arrow's cable towards another building to avoid the blast. He was supposed to land on the roof, but ends up bumping on a ledge, landing on the fire escape. Seeing Doomsday coming his way, The Arrow realizes he needs to hide. He fires two smoke bomb arrows on the ground, creating a smokescreen. He jumps off the fire escape and dives into the smoke. Doomsday lands on the roof of the building, but he couldn't see The Arrow anywhere, thanks to the smoke.
Flash and Supergirl were both trying to pick themselves up. They both feel beat up and exhausted. Supergirl gets back on her feet, but Flash can barely move. Supergirl offers him a hand. Flash takes her hand and stands up.
"Ready for another round?" asked Supergirl.
"What? Are you getting sleepy?" joked Flash.
Supergirl smiles, amused.
"Supergirl, the package is on your way," said Alex.
On cue, a D.E.O. jet drops off a large container that lands not too far from them.
"Is that the package?" asked Flash.
"Yup," answered Supergirl.
Supergirl puts her hand on the print scan and opens the container. Inside, there's a sword made out of Kryptonite. There was also three Kryptonite-tipped arrows.
"Uh, Alex, where did the Kryptonite arrows come from?" asked Supergirl.
"Hank was thinking of recruiting The Hood once," answered Alex.
"Okay, Flash, time for you to save the day," said Supergirl.
"Wait a second? Where's Oliver?" wondered Flash, looking around.
The two heard an arrow pierce a structure. The Arrow approaches them, via a zipline.
"Where were you?" asked Flash.
"I'm the sniper, remember," reminded The Arrow. He looks inside the container and sees the Kryptonite arrows. "I assume those are for me."
"A friend of mine made those in case you wanted to work for him," explained Supergirl.
"Well, tell him 'no, thank you'," said The Arrow. "But tell him thanks for the arrows."
The Arrow loads the Kryptonite arrows in his quiver. Flash takes the Kryptonite sword. Before they can form a plan, they can hear a scream from the distance.
"Laurel," said The Arrow, knowing who it is.
Black Canary had arrived after taking Iris back to her father. She wanted to make sure Oliver was okay. What she found was Doomsday. Before it could attack her, she unleashes her sonic scream. Doomsday was disoriented, but barely. It fires a thermal blast. Black Canary rolls out of the way, but the explosion from the blast's impact blew her away, knocking her out.
Doomsday raises its fist and prepares to bring it down hard on the unconscious vigilante. Before his fist can collide with Black Canary, Supergirl freezes its forearm with her super breath. She then flies towards Doomsday fast and smashes the ice, breaking half its arm. Supergirl picks up Black Canary and reunites her with The Arrow.
"What are you doing here?" asked The Arrow.
"You really think I'm gonna leave you alone?" replied Black Canary. "I wear this mask because I don't want you to be alone anymore. So, here I am."
The four's attention were captured by Doomsday's roaring. His was beginning to regenerate. A crystal-like spike emerges from his severed arm. The rest of it needed more time to regenerate.
"We have to end this now," said Supergirl. "Barry finish it."
Flash runs towards Doomsday. He jumps off a sign like a ramp and was about to stab Doomsday, but the creature reacts fast enough and swat the Flash like a fly. Supergirl flies towards Doomsday, but gets knocked down to the ground by another thermal blast. The Arrow fires two Kryptonite arrows. One hits Doomsday in the shoulder and the other pierces its leg.
Doomsday was feeling weak, but it could still rip the arrows out of him. Its strength slowly started to return. It fires a thermal blast at The Arrow, but Supergirl stands in the way and takes the hit. Supergirl lies on the ground, unconscious.
Doomsday prepares to stab the Flash with its spike.
"No!" yelled The Arrow.
The Arrow fires his last arrow, but Doomsday smacks it aside, hurting itself in the process, but still had the strength to proceed. The Arrow started running towards the Flash as Doomsday prepares to make the killing blow. Doomsday thrusts its right arm forward, but instead of stabbing the Flash like it intended, its spike goes through the chest of The Arrow, who stood in the way between the speedster and the alien.
"No! Oliver!" cried Black Canary.
Laurel's scream woke up Supergirl. Doomsday tosses The Arrow and proceeds with trying to kill the Flash, but Supergirl zooms over and pounds Doomsday far away. While she continues to fight Doosmday, Flash wakes up and sees a crying Black Canary kneeling next to a seriously wounded Oliver Queen. Flash runs over and sees what has happened.
Flash looks at Doomsday as his blood begins to boil in anger.
Supergirl and Doomsday once again cross beams. This time, Supergirl was exerting as much energy as she can to increase the power of her heat vision. The beams were equally matched with no sign of one powering the other. Flash takes this opportunity. He picks up the Kryptonite sword and runs as fast as he could. He screams as he gives it all he's got in his legs. He keeps on running until he manages to thrust the Kryptonite sword deep into Doomsday's chest.
Flash and Supergirl stand back and watch as Doomsday begins to feel weak. Doomsday suddenly begins to expel its thermal energy into the air. The beam in the sky captured the attention of everyone in Silverstone City.
After Doomsday has released all of its energy, it collapses. It wasn't moving. It wasn't breathing. It was dead.
"We did it," said Supergirl. She looks at Flash and says, "You did it."
"Is it bad that I just took my first life?" asked Flash.
"I can barely call this monster a living being, so I think this can slide," said Supergirl. "How's Oliver?"
The look on Flash's face tells Supergirl that The Arrow was not okay.
Flash and Supergirl return to where The Arrow and Black Canary. Black Canary buries her head on Oliver's shoulder as she cries. Suddenly, she heard a grunt. The Arrow's eyes open. Black Canary removes her mask and wig and smiles, happy to see him awake.
"How did we do?" asked The Arrow, sounding weak.
"We won," said Kara.
"You took a hit for me," said Barry. "Why?"
"Isn't that what a hero does? Sacrifice," replied Oliver.
"You didn't have to," said Barry.
Oliver was beginning to close his eyes.
"No! No! No! Ollie! Ollie! Don't you die on me. Not again," cried Laurel.
"I love you, Laurel," said Oliver suddenly. "Always have, always will."
Laurel begins to smile as the tears continue to stream down her face. She knew Oliver still had feelings for her, but to hear him confess it made her heart beat faster than it ever has before.
"I love you, too," confessed Laurel. "Always have, always will."
Laurel leans down until her lips brushed on Oliver's. She stopped when she felt his heart stop beating. She begged him to wake up, but Oliver's eyes remained closed. All Laurel can do is bury her head in his shoulder and continue letting her tears rain from eyes. She had just gotten Oliver back, but now, she lost him again, especially now that she was ready to admit she still loves him.
Barry and Kara hang their heads in sorrow and grief, mourning for the loss of their friend.
Despite vanquishing Doomsday and saving the city, there was nothing to smile about. The Arrow became a price to pay for their victory. The man who inspired the Flash is gone. While his final act was heroic, the people around him feel that he deserved to live long enough to see the people finally see him as the hero he is. While he doesn't think of himself as a hero, there are some who do.
:'(
I still hope this was a great chapter. Only one chapter left before "Arrow V Flash" is over.
