"You seem distressed Barry." Nora turned to their favorite Speedster who was staring absently into the swirl of the Speed Force.

"Oliver, Felicity and Kara… I wonder what they will be told about this." Barry said quietly, sadness in his face.

"What would you trade to see them, to help them?" Nora asked, as what was presently happening to them flashed before their eyes, making them frown this was not what should happen.

"Anything." Barry said simply.

"Oliver Queen and his team are in need of help, we shall allow you some time to help them and say your goodbyes." Nora held up a hand and a breach appeared.

"Run Barry." Nora smiled as a bolt of red lightning flashed past her and through the portal.

"Wait! Look!" William tugged at Oliver's hand as they watched the island blow up.

"I know that lightning, it's the Flash!" William grinned largely, he was still a Central citizen and the Flash will always be his first hero.

"The Flash?" Oliver whispered as he too spotted the red lightning that was speeding around Lian Yu. Oliver blinked and felt familiar arms wrap around him and next thing he knew he was back in the Foundry with his son and the rest of his team, all of them alive if not a bit ruffled looking.

"Oh thank god!" Felicity threw herself into Barry's arms, the Speedster hugging her back like his life depended on it.

"I'm glad just I was on time, are you guys okay?" Barry asked, looking directly at Oliver over Felicity's blonde head.

"You're the Flash!" William was staring wide eyed at the out of uniform brunette who just smiled at the boy.

"My name is Barry." Barry knelt in front of William, holding his hand out and William shook it happily.

"I'm William and Oliver is my dad!" William said proudly and it made Oliver swallow hard.

"That's so cool, do you want to know something cooler about your dad?" Barry whispered to William, loud enough for Oliver to hear through.

William nodded with wide eyes. "He was the one who inspired me to become the Flash and you know what. Oliver Queen is and always will be my hero." Barry smiled at the shocked look the two Queens' were suddenly sporting.

"Barry…" Oliver got a full force smile from Barry who slowly stood up, sadness in his eyes.

"You're my hero Oliver, the first one who told me I could be more." Barry quickly pulled Oliver into a tight hug before he could react.

"Barry what is going on, is it Savitar?" Oliver asked into Barry's fluffy brown hair, Barry's arms tight around him.

"No, that's done just… I've reached my finish line as it were, keep an eye on Central for me?" Barry asked in a quiet voice before he was suddenly on the other side of the room, smiling at them all with his usual cheerful smile.

"Barry?" Felicity stepped forward and Oliver followed suit. Barry just smiled as a breach appeared behind him and they watched helplessly as Barry stepped into it and he disappeared from sight.

"What just happened?" William asked, looking up at Oliver in confusion.

"I'm not sure, but I think we should visit Central City soon." Oliver promised and Felicity nodded her agreement, her phone already out to text Cisco to see what information she could get.

"What happened to you Barry?" Oliver muttered to himself as William reunited with his mother.
