"Felicity Smoak." Dark Arrow said. "Turn the power back on."

"He said..." Thawne said after a second of silence. Then he sped in a flash of red lightning to her, and held her by her throat.

"Felicity!" Iris and I yelled.

"Turn the power back on."

"Sorry, Eobard. Eobard?" Felicity said as she tried to pronounce his name.

"Eobard." He corrected, even though it sounded exactly the same.

"Eobard. My God, the future sounds weird."

"That's funny. Sometimes we think we're more clever than we are. Because where I come from, the history books are filled with stories of this Age of Heroes: Green Arrow, Black Canary, The Flash. And yet no one... no one," Thawne explained as he raised his hand. His hand began to vibrate at a high speed, his eyes glowed red, and his voice darkened. "has ever heard of Felicity Smoak."

"Stop!" All of us looked over and saw Kara stumbling into the room. "Stop. Stop. You came here for me, so just take me, please. Please don't hurt anyone else."

I could feel my heart shatter as Kara gave herself up.

"Give them the code."

"If I do, they'll kill you."

"It's fine." Kara responded.

"NO!" I screamed.

"Nobody's gonna die because of me."

My eyes began to burn as tears filled them.

"Latte, Ada, Jonas, 1-1-9-0-0." Felicity finally said.

"Latte?" Thawne said in his dark voice before going back to normal. "Cute."

Thawne let her go and grabbed his tablet and typed in the passcode, turning everything back on. I don't blame her. She only did what Kara told her. I would have died first, but that is simply because I cannot live without her. Not since she somehow found a way around the thick walls I had built around my heart and made herself a permanent residence within it.

Tears continued to fall as I sobbed, staring at my best friend and love of my life.

"Let's go." A guard said as he and another dragged us away.

"In ten minutes, Red Tornado's gonna bring down this entire facility, and there's nothing we can do to stop that robot." Leo explained.

I had regrouped with Oliver, Flash, Ray, and Leo within the command room. And there were bodies everywhere. I had taken off my helmet and mask, not the muzzle. I listened in on the new plan. I also had one of their guns in my grasp, and another on my hip.

"Then we need to reopen the gateway before that happens." Oliver said before turning to Barry. "Barry, Ray--"

"We know. Stop a flying robot somehow." Barry interrupted.

"Good. The rest of us will open the breach."

"That's the whole plan?" Leo asked.

"Well, as the Snart we know used to say, 'Make a plan. Execute the plan. Expect the plan to go off the rails. Throw away the plan'." Barry said.

"Wow. That is... that is terrible advice. I always have a plan, down to the second, so nothing ever goes wrong." Leo said.

"No, no, no." Ray said as he grabbed Leo's face with both hands. "The only plan now." He said before giving him a quick kiss. "is not to leave this Earth..." another quick kiss "without me."
