(Author's POV) [STAR Labs]

In the first aid station of the Cortex room, Barry is on the bed, groaning in pain from his broken leg.

Iris: It's going to be okay, Barry.

Nora: Yea, dad. It's probably not that bad.

Barry: *Pain* It feels like he broke the bones in my leg.

Caitlin: That's because he did.

Caitlin was holding a smart pad and showed a picture of Barry broken leg. The Fibula is completely comminuted from the top. The Tibia is compounded, almost breaking the skin. And the Patella, well it's greensticked.

Nora: Oh shrap. He did all that in one kick.

Iris: How long is it going to take for him to heal?

Caitlin: For him to even walk again, around three hours.

Barry: *Sarcastically* Great.

Joe: What the hell happened to you?

Cisco: Oh, hey Joe. Jr. was just having his little tantrum.

Joe: He did this? Why?

Nora: Cause he's a bad guy. It's what he does.

Caitlin: Nora. Are you sure that he's a bad guy?

Nora: What do you mean? Look what he did to dad. What does this say, if not bad guy?

Caitlin: Oliver Queen.

Everybody looked at Caitlin in confusion.

Caitlin: When I spoke to him, he said he was a vigilante like Oliver.

Nora: He's obviously lying. He's trying to trick you like his dad did.

Caitlin: That was different. Zoom was lying to us because he was dying.

Barry: *Painfully Groans* Well, that explains why it felt like I was talking to Oliver instead of Hunter.

Cisco: Yeah, he was giving "You have failed this city" vibes.

Nora: But he's a murderer. He killed a lot of people.

Caitlin: So did Oliver.

Nora: Why are you defending him? He has done nothing, but hurt all of us.

Caitlin: I'm not defending anybody, I'm just saying—

Caitlin was interrupted by a sudden swoosh of speed into the Cortex, everybody looked and saw it was Wally.

Joe: Wally

Wally: Where's Will?

Caitlin: He left. Is there something wrong?

Wally: It's a big emergency.

Barry: *Painfully Groans* What kind of emergency?
