Oliver P.O.V.

... you're so dumb if you think I'm going to say no to that!" Barry said pulling me up into a kiss. There were catcalls from the others around us. I slipped the ring on his finger and he just smiled clearly not knowing what to say. 

My phone started ringing while the Warblers grabbed Barry and started talking about the wedding.

"Oliver Queen," I said into the phone.

"You know being in prison and only getting one phone call makes it kind of hard to choose the right person. Threaten the dame and the knight falls but, threaten the knight and the dame comes running. You see what I'm getting at here is, I want Barry back so I picked the latter of the choices. You have twenty-four hours to trace this call and come alone," the caller said before hanging up.

Barry walked over worried. "Are you okay Ollie?" Barry asked tilting his head looking at me with fear in his eyes. "Do you regret asking me to marry you? Do you not love me anymore? Do you..." 

"Barry! Nothing is wrong, just Thea asking how it went. She wants us to visit after the reunion of course," I said covering up the fact that Barry's life was now in danger. Whoever this asshole is, they are going to suffer the wrath of Green Arrow.

Barry P.O.V.

He's lying, I can tell but why would he feel the need to lie. I sat with Kara in Jitters and we drank coffee talking over the engagement and the whole reunion thing.

"I can't believe that you set this whole thing up," I said laughing at her.

"It was easy, I told Oliver to get his head out of his ass and he did the rest. I still can't believe that he tricked us all like that," Kara said giggling a bit.

"I need you to be honest though, do you think that he's rushing things?" I asked. This all seemed a little rushed. Oliver and I had just started dating six months ago.

"Barry, you two have known each other for a long time and have been a couple before even admitting that you two liked each other. I have to admit that Felicity, Iris, Caitlin and I had a bet going on about how long it would take for you two to get together," Kara offered smiling slightly.

"I guess you're right but, Oliver is still keeping secrets from me," I said making Kara frown.

"Why do you say that?" she asked upset.

"He took a call after the whole thing and he didn't even move his mouth at all but claimed that he told Thea everything about the engagement and after he hung up he looked scared," I said running a hand through my hair.

"You know that Oliver mumbles but Oliver looking scared just can't be explained," Kara said thinking. "This was a huge life choice for him, maybe he was just getting over the fact that you guys are actually getting married?" Kara offered again looking optimistic.

"I'm sure you're right Kara, I'm just worrying about nothing. It was just this huge thing and then he offers to go back to Starling city after the whole reunion is over tomorrow," I said letting out my stress onto her.

"He's happy, he wants you to be happy too. Speaking of the reunion, we have to get to practice," Kara said getting up laughing. I passed her my coffee cup and ran to the park as she flew above me somehow keeping all of the beverage inside the cup as she landed and we walked over to the stage.

"Kara! Someone says that they are here to see you!" someone yelled. Kara smiled at me and passed a brown haired kid who looked like he could be confused for a teen just like me.

"Sebastian Smythe 'r Barry Allen I'm guessin'?" he asked.

"Yup and you are?" I asked confused.

"Rory Flanagan, we competed a long time ago I think it was your first year, I'm 'appy that they invited me back to perform 'ith them 'gain," Rory said confusing me a little.

"Right, you were the Irish kid that was in West Side Story that had terrible diction and was trying to do an accent when he already had an accent.

"That's the one!" he said laughing.

Kara P.O.V.

I walked over to the stage confused about someone being there to see me. I saw Alex and J'ohnn standing there happy to see me. I hugged them tight and then saw someone standing behind them.

"Mon-El?" I asked confused.

"Hi Kara," he said sheepishly.
