Warp Speed (A Flash and Arrow crossover Fanfic)

Oliver

"Get the anesthesia!" Caitlin was frantic as Nova ran in, grunting as she dragged the unconscious body of Oliver Queen into S.T.A.R. Labs. She swiped her arm over the medical table, simultaneously righting Oliver on the table as she did so. Oliver groaned weakly, murmuring, "Felicity."

Barry raced for the phone, shouting over his shoulder. "I'm calling Felicity." His fingers fumbled on the keypad as he dialed the techie's phone number. "Good, he'll need her for this." Bast had entered the room, cracking her knuckles. Caitlin moved to stand protectively over her patient. "What do you think you're doing?"

Bast ignored her and turned to Barry, who was in deep conversation with Felicity. The hacker was in tears on the other end of the line, screaming for Barry to put Oliver on the phone. Bast nodded to him, inclining her head towards Oliver's barely concious figure. Barry pulled up a Skype image of Felicity, turning the screen to Oliver. Felicity gasped as she saw the condition Oliver was in, causing a pang to stab Bast's heart as a flash of memory hit her. She shook the image out of her head.

Meanwhile, Oliver seemed to somehow focus on Felicity through the pain. Felicity perked up a bit, and began talking to him soothingly. "Ollie listen, you're going to be fine baby. Just - just focus on me. I need you to hang on."
Nova stood up and left the room, pausing to tell Cisco: "Sorry but I hate this part. The whole process freaks me out." Cisco followed her with wary eyes. "What process?!" He called after her.
Bast whispered gently to Felicity. "Felicity you need to keep that up. This is going to hurt him a lot." Felicity's eyes shot to Bast, yet she kept talking to Oliver in the same calming voice.

          "You're the girl who decked Roy!" She hissed/whispered.

"I'm also the only one who knows how to fix him." Bast hissed back, jabbing her thumb at the damaged form of the Arrow.

Looking painfully at her boyfriend, Felicity sighed and conceded. Bast moved to Oliver, talking to him gently. "I'm going to need you to bite down on this," She said, placing a piece of leather she'd torn off of Cisco's chair between his teeth. The hero bit down firmly.
Bast gave him a reassuring smile, driving her fingers into a very sensitive cluster of nerves. He screamed through the leather as his entire body jerked. Felicity yelled at her. "STOP! You're going to hurt him."

        Barry chimed in with her. "Whoa, take it easy." Soon Cisco and Caitlin were yelling at her too.

"QUIT!" And "YOU'RE GOING TO KILL MY PATIENT!!!"

Bast made another move with her elbow, freezing up the lower half of his body.

She ignored the yelling until Roy and Diggle joined Felicity on the screen.

"What is that woman doing to Oliver?" Diggle asked with deadly calm.

Bast let out a frustrated sound. "Sure! Why doesn't everyone just join the party!" She released an angry roar. That caused everyone else to explode into chaos.
"STOP IT!"

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

"YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR!"

"WHY THE HECK IS SHE MESSING WITH OLIVER?!"

"YOU'RE THE GIRL THAT BEAT ME UP!"

"TAKE IT EASY!"

Iris, who had just entered the room, spoke up.

"LET THE WOMAN DO HER FREAK'IN JOB!" She erupted, causing the room to go silent.

The journalist glared at each person in turn, and everyone slowly piped down. Diggle and Roy slunk back from the screen, and Bast shot Iris a grateful look before pinching a major nerve on the back of Oliver's head. The man's entire body went completely limp. Iris shuddered. "Is he dead?"

Bast rolled her eyes, turning around with a flat look on her face. She reached her arm out, and without looking, jabbed forcefully down over his heart. Oliver jerked awake on the table, then slammed back down, unconscious but peaceful.

Bast stomped out of the room, calling over her shoulder. "You're welcome." Her angry growls could be heard down the hall. Just after she left, Nova entered the room. She made a face as she noticed Oliver's motionless body on the medical bed. "So she's done reseting him."

"She did what?" Felicity's worried face was back on the screen, and she looked at Nova with scared eyes. Nova sighed, grabbing Cisco's chair and pulling it up to take seat.

"When Mindbender tortures you, he convinces your body you're being killed in about twenty different ways. When he got me, I believed I had a heart attack, drowned, was hit by a car, was trampled, burned, and was ripped to pieces all at the same time. And allow me to reiterate, I was thirteen at the tim. There's no kind of therapy for that- I looked."

The whole room was silent before Nova continued. "Bast won't talk about her torture, but she suffered for three days last time." Iris raised her hand to grab her attention. "Last time?" Her journalist curiosity was peaked despite herself.

Nova swallowed hard. "I did say that we met in Gotham last year, chasing down a lead. I never said the lead was a dead end. Bast took a hit for me. She talked me through her process for fixing it in moments of clarity. Her process shuts down your body just long enough for it to reset itself. She never told me how she learned it, and I never asked. She's been hurt pretty bad. So the next time she has to do that, leave her alone." With that, Nova turned and followed her sister.

...

Iris and Barry sat together two hours later, talking quietly as they kept tabs on Oliver's condition. Looking through the glass windows of the medical wing, Iris smiled as she watched the enormous Bengal tiger sleeping at Oliver's feet. "They look so peaceful."

Barry smiled. "Yeah, it's hard to believe how crazy everything's been when it's like this. But it doesn't make it easier for me to forget it either. Iris, what if it had been me on that table? What if it's me next time?"

Iris looked at him reproachfully. "Don't say that." But Barry pressed on. "Iris I'm serious. My job- with the Meta-humans -it's dangerous. You saw what the Reverse-Flash did to Eddie."

Iris was silent a few moments before saying: "Nothing is going to happen to you on my watch. We're family, and family looks out for each other."

A/N I am sooooo sorry. That post took way to long. I've been really busy with swim and I hope the chapter was worth the wait! Please comment. = )
