While Henry treated Thea and Jesse, Laurel dreaded the phone call she now had to make, but knew she had to make it anyways, since Oliver would never forgive her if she left him out of the loop.
"Hello." Oliver's voice said on the other end of the call.
"Hey Ollie, is now a bad time?" Laurel asked.
"Darhk escaped from prison, but aside from that, everything here is good." Oliver said sarcastically.
"Wait what? He escaped?" Laurel asked.
"And while you and Thea were in Central City, I called in Nyssa for some extra backup and he, well, Darhk killed her during the escape." Oliver said.
"Wait, what?" Laurel asked.
"I guess he still had an axe grind with her father over not being chosen to be Ra's, so he killed her in retaliation, and now I'm going to kill him." Oliver said.
"When's the funeral?" Laurel asked.
"We're waiting until you and Thea come back for it. I'd say Sara to, but we don't know when she'll be back from time traveling." Oliver said and Laurel could hear the pain in his voice.
"She's going to be out for blood when she finds out." Laurel said.
"The only way Sara is killing Darhk is if she gets to him before me. But what was the reason for your call?" Oliver asked.
"There was an accident at STAR labs while they were trying to get Barry's speed back. The explosion, it put Thea in a coma. Barry's dad is taking care of her, but Ollie, her heart stopped for a few seconds." Laurel said.
"I'm on my way." Oliver said.
"You can't leave the city defenseless against Darhk." Laurel said.
"Darhk's gone to ground since his escape, probably tying loose ends, so we have some time and I'll be damned if I'm not there when my sister wakes up." Oliver said.
"Well, I guess it couldn't hurt." Laurel agreed.
"I'll be there soon." Oliver said.
"Ok." Laurel said as she looked over at Henry and Cisco as they entered the medbay to confront Wells.
"Cisco says Barry's still alive. - Where is he?" Henry demanded.
"- I don't know." Harry said.
"Harry, I vibed him in the center of a storm. It was, like, in, like, a vortex or something." Cisco said.
"He's in the Speed Force." Harry realized.
"- Get him out, damn it. - You can get him out, can't you?" Henry demanded.
"- I don't know if I can." Harry said and Laurel's heart went out to the guy, since his daughter was currently in a coma.
"Henry, come here." Joe said, gesturing for him to come out with him.
"Listen, you are the only one that can help Jesse. Let me sit on Wells till he figures out what the hell he did to Barry. I think we can get him back." Joe said.
"Joe, I know you love Barry, okay? But you have Iris, and you have Wally. Barry's all I have left." Henry argued.
"Exactly why you need to help Jesse and Thea so Harry can focus on figuring out what happened to Barry." Laurel pointed out and Joe nodded.
"I promise. We'll find him." Joe said and Henry nodded.
"Thank God you're here. Caitlin's usually the one doing this, but." Cisco said as he, Iris and Laurel watched Henry treat Thea and Jesse.
"Heart rate normal. Reflexes and breathing are fine. They should both be waking up. But they're just not." Henry said.
"It was the same with Barry." Iris said, causing Laurel and Henry to look at her.
"Um, after the first accident, he was in a coma that no one could explain." Iris said.
"What did you do with him?" Henry asked.
"So they brought him here Well, Wells brought him here." Cisco said.
"The other Wells." Iris said.
"Right, the Wells who was actually Thawne." Cisco said.
"- Eobard, not Eddie." Iris said.
"- Right. It's it's complicated. Anyway, we took care of Barry while Wells Thawne treated him." Cisco said.
"Are there any records of that treatment? We might find clues how to help Jesse and Thea." Henry asked.
"Uh, yeah, they'd be downstairs in the storage room, in the morgue." Cisco said.
"Ew, you guys have a morgue?" Iris asked.
"Well, it's not like a morgue morgue. It's not it's like a poor man's morgue, really. Morgue-ish." Cisco said.
"Would one of you go get them, please?" Laurel asked, not wanting to leave Thea's side.
"Okay, well, I'm not going alone." Cisco said and Iris rolled her eyes before leaving with Cisco.
"God I hope they find something before Thea's brother gets here, because something tells me he's going to be pissed off and when he's pissed, he likes to put arrows in things. Particularly the person responsible." Laurel said.
"Really, and her brother is?" Henry asked.
"Oliver Queen. Sorry, I keep forgetting you were in prison most of the times Oliver was in the news. No offense." Laurel said and Henry chuckled.
"None taken. But I seem to remember a Moira Queen being locked up in the female section of Iron Heights. Any relation?" Henry asked.
"Oliver was Moira's son and he's also the Green Arrow." Laurel revealed.
"Really, well that's good to know and it also explains how Barry knows him." Henry said and Laurel nodded as Cisco and Iris ran back into the med bay.
"We got a new problem." Iris said.
"Our accelerator experiment seems to have reanimated one of the dead metas in our morgue." Cisco said, getting all their attention.
""Reanimated," like brought back to life?" Joe asked.
"Life-ish. You ever seen "The Walking Dead"? It's "The Walking Dead," but without higher brain function and with major rage issues. Still unsure if our brains are on the menu, though." Cisco said.
"- Which one?" Joe asked.
"- Tony Woodward." Iris said.
"The bully from school who turned into the metal man? That's not good, Cisco." Joe said.
"History repeats itself. First as tragedy and then as farce." Harry said, still not leaving his daughter's side.
"Wells, as a parent, believe me, I have nothing but sympathy for what you're going through. Listen to me closely when I say to you, we got a lot of fires burning at the same time, and if we all work together, we just might be able to put them out. Let Henry take care of your daughter. Me, Iris and Laurel will handle this Girder situation, but you and Cisco are the scientists. You're the only one who can bring Barry back from wherever the hell he is right now." Joe said and Wells nodded.
"Cisco, any chance you could modify my sonic device?" Laurel asked.
"Why?" Cisco asked.
"You said that Rathaway took down Barry using his sonic frequency. Couldn't you modify my device to do the same for Girder?" Laurel asked Cisco caught on.
"Yeah, after Hartley decided to become an ally rather than an enemy, he and I used the molecular scans of each meta that we'd taken down, even the deceased ones and used them to determine their frequencies. I think I can tune your device to operate on Girder's frequency." Cisco said.
"Good, let's get to work. Ramon, modify Lance's device and then meet me in the breach room." Harry said as he got up and left, new fire in his eyes and Henry continued treating Thea and Jesse.
