70

I push on Zee's stomach repeatedly, switching between her chest and her stomach, wanting to get at least one breath out of her. I squeeze my eyes shut, still trying no matter how many times I was told that she was gone. I couldn't accept it.

Within a second, Zee's mouth opens as she gasps for air once, starting to breath again but barely, not opening her eyes, still unconscious.

My head snaps back, "You said she got the poison from Star City- right?"

Joe nods, as I scoop Zee up in my arms, before running off, speeding to Star City, running into where the Arrow Bunker was, holding Zee in my arms.

Oliver turns slowly, looking at me, his brows furrowing, "What's going on? Is she okay? Are you?"

Felicity turns in her chair, her gaze landing on me, "Oh- wow- god-"

John's eyes were filled with confusion as he looked at Zee, rubbing the back of his neck.

"She took a poison- that was supposedly made here- I-" I sigh in defeat, "Please- save her. I don't know what to do- and I can't lose her too."

"Okay- okay-" Felicity jumps up, "Lay her on there-" she points as I do as she says, I slowly step back as I watch John get to work on Zee, Felicity typing away, Oliver making some sort of tea.

I pace repeatedly, sniffling, running my hands over my face, wiping the tears away from my face.

I heard a gasp for air, as my head snaps towards Zee, seeing her eyes open sightly, as she was breathing slow, Oliver having her drink some sort of tea as Felicity made something to fully cure her of the poison, as I could tell they've dealt with this type of thing before.

"She's going to be okay." John rubs my back, as I give him a sly nod, watching everything go down.

My eyes slowly open, my vision being greeted by a bright light above me. I lightly cough, as I blink a few times, for my vision to get more focused, sitting up slow on the hard table surface I was laid.

I look around, noticing Barry pace back and forth a few feet away from me, my eyes drifting away and landing on Felicity, who was typing away on her computer, as I realized I was in the bunker. My gaze falls onto where John and Oliver's suit's once were, taking notice that they were gone doing their night job.

My gaze falls on Barry again, as my voice quietly croaks out, "Barry?"

Barry stops, his head snapping towards me once I slip off the table, and stand at my feet.

Barry runs over to me, engulfing me into his arms, holding me tight to his chest, sniffling.

Felicity glances at us, "Hey- thank god you're okay- Barry was- literal- full on tears when he came in here-"

"." Barry warns as she just innocently smiles, taking the note that she should shut up, before standing up, as John and Oliver walk into the room, in their suits, but without their masks on.

"Zee- hi." Oliver smiles at me, "Glad to see you're okay."

Barry looks into my eyes, "She doesn't have the gold specks in her eyes anymore."

"It's nothing some- herbal tea from Lian Yu, John's hospitalization, and Felicity's smarts couldn't fix." Oliver puts his bow down.

"Yeah- we've dealt with something like this before. It was good, you brought her to us as soon as you could." John nods at us.

"Thank you-" I pull away from Barry, smiling at them weakly, "Thank you- for saving my life."

Oliver gives me a nod, followed by a small for all of them, as Barry looks at me, Oliver and John walking over by Felicity.

I see how upset Barry was in his eyes, as he spoke up, "Why would you take the poison?"

"Because I didn't want you to lose another parent figure- because it would absolutely crush you?" I state the obvious.

"And losing you wouldn't?" Barry questions, small tears in his eyes.

"You can't be upset with me right now- I practically sacrificed myself so you can have Joe- Reign wasn't going to let us leave with the both of us alive." I told him, feeling myself slightly upset that he could even be upset with me for this.

"I'm upset because I could've just lost you." Barry argued with me, "If it wasn't for Oliver, John and Felicity- you'd be dead right now- and ."

"And losing Joe wouldn't?" I argue, before shaking my head, not wanting to continue this conversation in front of Oliver, Felicity and John in the bunker, wanting to be done with this conversation over all.

I understood why Barry was upset, but either way, they would've been crushed. If he ended up with Iris in the future, that would mean he would've gotten over my death if this did actually go through. Losing Joe would be much worse for everyone.

Barry grabs my wrists, ready to drag me out of the bunker, as I pull away from him, "Don't- touch me-"

He turns and grabs my wrists again, as I pull back once more.

"Woman!" He raises his voice lightly, clearly getting somewhat annoyed that I kept pulling away, but keeping at bay, being okay with it, as he grabs my wrists, pulling me into him, before grabbing my waist and throwing me over his shoulder.

I gasp, a small shriek leaving my lips as I hit his back, a unintentionally giggle leaving my mouth.

"Is that what our relationship looks like?" Felicity asks Oliver, a small smile on her face.

"Somewhat." Oliver nods slow, pecking her lips.

Barry smiles at them as once last thank you, before running out of the bunker with me, running back to Central City.

The minute Barry had put me down, I was engulfed in hugs by the team. My heart felt as if it would burst of happiness due to how much they cared and how they were glad I was okay.

Iris was in the point of tears, not wanting to let go of me, as this was cut short once we all moved into the breach room.

Turns out Harry and Jesse were going home. Jay was going to run them to Earth Two, as they would help him get back to his Earth, which was Earth Three. We all stood in the breach room, as Harry and Jesse said their goodbyes.

"Detective Joe West." Harry shook Joe's hand, "You have great kids. Take care of them."

"Same to you. Make sure you take care of that beautiful girl." Joe points to Jesse.

"Will do." Harry smiles, before moving to Barry, hugging him, "I'm a better man than I was when I got here, and that's cause of you."

"I'm not the same either." Barry agrees.

Cisco speaks up, "Hey, uh- don't be surprised if I project myself over to Earth Two, you know, just to throw your stuff across the office."

This earns a laugh from the both of them, "I'll miss you too, Cisco."
