"So let me get this straight," said Cisco after three explanations.

"As if it's not crystal clear enough for you yet?" I sighed for the millionth time in the past few minutes.

"You," he pointed at me, deciding to ignore my comment,

"Know the Oliver Queen, lived with him, used to work for him, and didn't even care to tell me?"

I put my hands up in front of me in surrender,
"Yo, I literally just met you yesterday after waking up from a nine week coma. Need I say more?"

He turned to Felicity. Really didn't see the difference between Cisco and interrogation at that moment.

"You too?" He whined - yes - whined.

Felicity laughed,

"Met you yesterday after a 2 month coma? No." The awkward grin slipped off her face when she glanced at us and realised that that wasn't what he meant.

"That wasn't what you meant. I - I just - I didn't really see the importance in announcing that I know Oliver Queen every time I came to visit Barry. And Avery." She added at the end.

"Just once would've been nice." Cisco grumbled.

"Every time?" Ollie echoed.

"Okay!" I intercepted as loudly and cheerfully as I could, "Now that's been dealt-"

"Da da da da da da!" Cisco interrupted while putting his hands near my face then snapping his fingers closed in a way of saying 'shut up',

"I'm not done yet. Then, he takes the time to travel 600 miles just to give you your clothes?I've missed something." He assumed. We all took it different ways and started talking at once,

"Missed something? No you haven't, what could you possibly have missed?" I spoke fast.

"There's nothing going on, Mr Ramon, she's practically my sister," Oliver said calmly.

"They're just friends, practically siblings. I mean what else would it be? Pff nothing illegal, that's for sure." Felicity rambled.

"They're like siblings. I should know, I am his bodyguard after all. And driver." Diggle stayed in his monotone voice. Ever the realist,that Diggle.

Then Cisco put his hands over his ears,

"Okay, okay, STOP!" He yelled. (Let's ignore the fact that it was already quiet, so his voice echoed loudly)

"I like it how you besties stick up for each other, but I'm not falling for it." Busted.

"I know you two have a thing for each other," Okay, I mean, that's not the angle I thought he was coming at , but -

Wait, WHAT?!

"WHAT?!?!" We all exploded in unison. We all looked at him in shock.

After a long pause, I sighed,

"Guys, meet Cisco Ramon."
I then looked at said person,

"Cisco," I began,

"I'm saying this once then this conversation will never be spoken of again; there is nothing going on between me and Oliver." I said, the last part extra slow so he could catch on, "Thi guy?" I point behind me at Ollie, "I've known him for years. He's treated me like a sibling the entire time, arguments and all. He's like the older brother I never asked for but was gifted with anyway!" I exclaimed, making sure to emphasise on 'gifted'. Que the glare from said person.

"Do you think it's possible that Ollie took the time out of his busy schedule to check up on me, like family would?"

Cisco's face morphed into a mix of guilt and sheepishness. He chuckled sheepishly. I sighed once again,
