°°°

I don't ever want to see you again.

How could I ever love someone like you?

It should have been you not him..

You're not my friend, you're nothing but a monster..

We're all better off without you, Barry

We don't need you anymore or just leave us alone

Those words. Words that came at him faster than he could run away from. Because they were the words of the people who he thought were his friends. People who he had risked so much for. His life, his sanity. All of it. And all he got in return was betrayal. No matter how far he ran, they echoed in his head. And they just wouldn't go away. As Barry Allen's feet slid across the ground and came to a stop. He turned back to the place he once called home. Central City.

They called him a freak. But all he wanted to do was the right thing. He wanted to save people. He wasn't a doctor like his father. Or a scientist like his mother. He just was.. himself. Still, he shouldered that responsibility because of what he could do. The power he had coursing through his veins. The speed force. As Barry looked down at his hands as they sparked with orange electricity. His breathing shivered as he just kept running.

He ran to hopefully to the last place that someone would understand him. Star City. He arrived in what felt like seconds as he ran up a building and phased through the brick wall. Where he saw her. Thea Queen. Speedy. They locked eyes. As she didn't hesitate and closed the distance between them as she pulled him into a tight hug. Barry nearly fell to his knees as she just kept holding him.

Thea: It's okay. It's okay..

She said reassuring Barry that he was okay. That he was safe. She gently guided him over to the couch and sat next to him. He explained everything to her. Him telling his friends, his girlfriend about his powers. How they saw him as some kind of freak. A monster. How they blamed him for not doing more. And by the end of it, Thea was pissed. But not at Barry. At them. At what they said to him.

Thea: Barry, listen to me. This isn't your fault. I know you. I know what kind of man you are. I know that you did the best that you could, they only hate you because they're stupid

Thea said as she grabbed one of Barry's hands and gave it a gentle squeeze. Thea Queen, little sister of Oliver Queen. His best friends. The man who gave his life for Star City almost a year ago. A hero. The Green Arrow. Oliver was like the brother he never had but always wanted. And Thea had grown to be like a sister to him.

Thea: I know that if Ollie was still here. He'd tell you something that would pick you right back up.. but I don't have anything like that in me right now..

He didn't blame her. He really didn't. She had given so much to this city. And just like him, they spat her out. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted it. Suitcases. Bags. The essentials. She was leaving. For good. And wasn't coming back. Ever. As he stood up from the couch and wiped the tears away from his face. He wanted to say something. But she beat him to it.
