There Are Two Speedsters?! [The Flash] [Discontinued]

Felicity

I can't lose her, I cant lose my best friend.

"Riley?" I try getting her to respond. "She's not breathing!"

"We need to get her on a hospital bed," Caitlin states as we all nod. Lyla grabs the bed and we all, gently, lift her onto it. Caitlin grabs the boomerang, "You might want to look away."

I turn around as I hear Caitlin pull out the boomerang, I try to hold back a sob, but I can't. Before you know it, I'm bawling my eyes out in Lyla's arms. "I can't lose her," I whisper.

"You wont," Lyla says as she rubs my back.

"You guys can look now," Caitlin says as we turn around to see Riley's shirt drenched in blood and Riley breathing again. "Super healing should pick up soon, but it'll take a while for it to heal. Even for her."

"Riley?" I hear Barry say as they all walk in. Barry hovers over Riley, "Oh, my god, what happened?"

"Harkness," Lyla answers. "Riley saved me."

Barry turns around and points at Oliver, "This is your fault! You should have let her come with us, she would be fine if it weren't for you."

"If she wasn't here, Harkness would have gotten Lyla and she doesn't have super healing!" Dig yells at Barry.

"Guys!" I get their attention. "None of this is going to help Riley!"

Everyone mumbles a sorry and gives Riley a sad and sorry look.

"This feels wrong," I say to Roy and Cisco. "Being here, it feels wrong."

"Barry and Oliver needed to be with Riley, alone," Roy states. "They made that pretty clear."

The walks up with our orders, "Three doubles, straight up. Are you guys okay?"

"We're just having a tough night," Roy says vaguely.

"Anything I can do to help?" Thea asks.

"No, we're good," Roy answers. Before Thea leaves Roy says, "Do you talk to Riley much?"

Thea gives him a confused look, "Not recently, why?"

"Do you miss her?" Roy asks.

Thea nods, "Of course I do. She was my best friend, she was my rock. She made me a better person, but we just drifted apart."

"Tomorrow, call her," Roy orders.

"Why?" Thea asks.

"Just do it," Roy states. Thea nods and walks away.

Cisco looks at us with a smile, "Who was that hottie?"

"Oliver's sister," I answer.

"My ex-girlfriend," Roy answers at the same time as me.

"So stay away, that's what you're saying," Cisco says with a disappointed look.

Caitlin sits next Cisco, "She's starting to heal, not a s quickly as usual, but healing."

"That's good," Roy says with hope in his eyes.

"How do you guys do it?" Cisco asks getting our attention. "How do you guys live like this, where anyone you care about could e struck down?"

"We haven't been taking this seriously," Caitlin confesses. "It's all been a game. We give the bad guys code names. But Riley thought differently, she works and trains harder than any of us."

"She did that here too," I explain. "That's what made her, Diggle, and Oliver such a great team on the field."
