A New Beginning for@greenhood

Barry was sure that the two scientists at STAR Labs meant well. They'd taken care of him for the past nine months while he'd been comatose. But when the impossible began to happen, when he began to vibrate at crazy speeds, Barry turned to the only person he knew who could help.

Oliver Queen. The Arrow of Starling City.

What he didn't expect was to run all the way there in record time.

His shoes might be smoking just a tad as he skids to a halt outside of Verdant.

Okay, no. His shoes are on fire. "Crap, crap! Oliver? Felicity?"

Barry instantly feels guilty and it shows easily in his expression as he scrubs his hands through his hair. "Okay. I.. I'll head home and come back when I can."

As much as he doesn't want to go, Barry knows that he has to. He owes Joe and Iris that and so much more. "Okay. I'll try and come back tomorrow once I figure out how to tell them I'm running between Central and Starling. Literally." Because not telling the two people closest to him about his new powers doesn't even cross Barry's mind.

"Good. And in the meantime, I'll tell everyone here what's going on and we'll try to figure out a way to find out what's going on." Maybe he'd see if Felicity could hack into Star Labs and figure out just what they'd been doing that had caused this. Not to mention coming up with some kind of training routine to make sure that his powers were under control.

It would help to find a doctor they could trust. He could do first aid and some limited combat medical, like Diggle, but he couldn't do anything more advanced and they definitely needed advanced.

"Okay. I'll.. I'll be back when I can."

And like that, in a rush of wind and lightning Barry is gone, speeding his way back home. The reunion with Joe and Iris is tearful and heartfelt and Oliver was right. He needed to see them. He can't explain going back to Starling or his powers just yet, but it's enough that they know he's okay.

Barry trusts Oliver with whatever comes next.

Provided he can keep his completely stupid crush on the vigilante under wraps.
