The Arrival: Part Two

"Honesty is more than not lying.
It is truth telling, truth speaking, truth living, and truth loving."
—James E. Faust

It was an awkward elevator ride as Barry Allen stood side by side with a teenager who thought he was stalker. Joe had gotten a call about the strange happenings at the hospital and couldn't play babysitter anymore and so Barry had to come back to the station to retrieve the girl who had yet to utter a single syllable. He expected her to try to run off, but to his surprise she followed him the entire way. He figured Joe may have had something to do with the girls more agreeable behavior.

The moment they arrived, the place was crawling with officers. From what Barry heard, someone had killed two security guards and stolen their access cards. The place was on lock down and that included all elevators, which Joe held off until Barry and Arianna were safely to their floor. Once the doors opened and the pair stepped off, Barry sent a text to Joe letting him know that they had made it up.

"Uh, the waiting room is just around here." Barry said over to Ari who rolled her eyes before continuing down the hall. The speedster was glad the moment he spotted the others, finally ending the awkwardness between him and the teenager. "Guys! Hey!" they all turned to the man, their eyes glossing over him to the young girl whose face was hidden underneath the hood of her sweatshirt. "Uh, everyone this is Arianna Locke, Katie's cousin." he pointed to the girl who glanced up to their eyes before shaking her head and walking over to a far corner to sit.

"You do know people are dead here. I'm just not sure Katie would want her cousin to actually be here right now." Felicity said and Barry simply nodded.

"I know, but Joe had to come check out the scene here and all the other officers are on the streets trying to patrol the streets. I mean we've had storms before but this one has gotten crazy. I had to bring her with me." Barry glanced over to to girl who'd started riffling through magazines. "So any word on who is behind all of this."

"Well yeah, more than likely it's Damien Darhk." Laurel said with a shrug. "Well according to Jacob Robins, who Ethan has been secretly working for this entire time-" she shook her head once again thinking about the man's deceit. "I mean everything was just a lie, our entire relationship was a complete and total lie and I can't believe I-"

"Alright." Thea brought an arm around the woman to stop the rant before it began. She turned back to Barry who stared in confusion still not completely understanding what was going on. "Ethan has been working for Jacob, according to Jacob everything is fine, but no one here believes it."

"Where is John?" Barry asked glancing around the dark waiting room, now illuminated by lanterns the nurses had placed around. "Why is there no back up generator?"

"Part of the reason no one believes everything is fine. We believe whoever Darhk sent, killed the guards and then somehow accessed the building's generator and was able to knock it off." Felicity sighed before nudging her head down the hall. "John is patrolling the surrounding halls and Ethan's with him because well-" she nudged her head to Laurel and Barry simply nodded.

"Does Oliver and Katie know what's going on?" Barry asked and everyone simply shrugged.

"Right now the only thing we want them to worry about is our baby Twiver." Felicity stated firmly. "They deserve this defining moment in their lives, so we are going to do everything in our power to let them have it."

Katie laid in bed watching Oliver standing near the window. She could see he was nervous, how standing and doing nothing was almost impossible for him to do in this moment.

"You want to know what's happening out there." Katie says and Oliver turns to her. "I get it. There is a problem and you maybe able to fix it. It's what makes you, well you. You can go. This kid is taking her time, so if you want to figure out what's-"
