The Arrow

Oliver's jacket was now open revealing his chest. The sound of the flatline was echoing through out the base.

" Hold him." Barry says, approaching the table as Diggle, Felicity and I all keep him flat on the table.

" He's not gonna make it." Diggle says, after feeling his heartbeat.

" He will." Felicity says reassuringly, as Barry puts his hand on the back of his head. He glances up at me, a look of uneasiness in his eyes, I nod my head at him, trying to reassure him. " Just have to find out what's in his system."

"I..I usually only work on dead people." Barry stated.

" Barry," Felicity says.

" I can think of four diagnoses." He goes around to me and Diggle's side, he grabs a flashlight from behind me and opens up Oliver's eyelid pointing the flash light as his eye.

" Make that three possible diagnoses." He goes over to Felicity's side and analyses Oliver before looking up at the flat line.

" two." He goes to get soemthing from behind. " Start chest compressions." He tells Diggle, who follows orders. Barry gets Oliver's arm ready to draw blood. " Got it. He's suffering from intravenous coagulation." 

" What?" Diggle questions:

" His blood is unnaturally clotting." I answer for Barry.

" It's like Maple syrup," Barry adds

" You can save him right?" Felicity asks, Barry looks around, his eyes locking onto soemthing.

" All right," he grabs a box. " Lucky you guys have a rat problem."

" Are you kidding?" Diggle interupts " That'll kill him."

" He dies if I don't" Diggle turns to me and Felicity. We share a look and I nod.

" Do it." Felicity says.

" The right amount of this will thin his blood enough to get it circulating again." Barry explains. He gives Oliver the shot as Diggle continues to do chest compressions.

" He's crashing." Diggle says.

" Oliver, stay with me." Me and Felicity stay at the same time. We look at each other. Shit.

Time Skip

I was playing with one of Oliver's arrows when I suddenly hear gasping. I turn around to see Oliver chocking Barry and just in time, Diggle pulls him away and Felicity goes to his side. Once released Barry goes to the chair leaning down on it trying to catch his breath. I go over too him squeezing his shoulder.

" What's going on?" Oliver asks, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.

" You we're injected with a strong-acting blood coagulant." I answer

" You would've stroked out." Barry says while clearing his throat. As Oliver stands up, leaning against the table. " But fortunately, you had a very effective blood thinner handy." He looks over at the yellow box. " Warfarin, better known as rat poison.

" Kid saved your life Oliver." Diggle points out trying to stop whatever madness Oliver was about to cause.

" This is the point in a life-saving emergency where you thank the person that did the life saving." Felicity says, he doesn't turn to her.

" You told him who I was." He says to me, betrayal evident in his eyes and voice. My lips turn into a frown. He really would rather die than let someone else know who he was.

" I did, actually." Felicity says, he turns to her. " That's not your secret to tell, Felicity. I decide who finds out my identity." He lowers his head and closes his eyes as Felicity rounds the table too him.
