Turn A Blind Eye (Barry Allen/Oliver Queen)

Silver Lining

Cisco threw Caitlin's phone to her, part of the text message showing up on her lock screen. She had grabbed contact details from Oliver to get to Felicity; allowing both women to work on what was needed. They managed to find several people who knew more about eye surgery than they did, and Felicity passed on Caitlin's notes.

"That woman is great," Caitlin said, replying to the message quickly. She and Cisco were sitting around in the main area of the lab, quiet filling the room. They didn't know what to speak about.

Barry yawned loudly, stumbling out from the room he had been sleeping in. Going out for a few hours the night before had really made him dislike falling asleep on the same stretcher bed he had slept in for nearly four months. Was it so hard for him to go see his friends outside the lab?

"Barry, you're awake." Caitlin made her way to Barry's side, sitting him down while she still held onto his arm. "How was your date?"

"It wasn't a date, Caitlin." Barry snapped, but he still sensed Caitlin's happiness. "It was just us hanging out, and Oliver getting drunk."

"Okay, okay." Caitlin threw her hands up at shoulder height in mock defense. "I'm just saying, no normal person gets to go out with the Oliver Queen."

"So," Barry suddenly started to go off topic. "Apparently you're on your way to helping with my eyesight."

"One; Felicity has been nice enough to help me out, and we've hopefully found some people who can help. Two; how did you know about that?" Asked Caitlin, and she saw Barry's lips twitch upward for a moment. Oliver did that too. Weird!

"Oliver told me about it last night on the way back here." Barry tried to not laugh at the thoughts of Oliver laughing at stupid jokes, telling stories of being The Arrow and how he didn't always like having people in the media hate him. "He's kind of funny after some drinks."

"I would not have guessed." Caitlin began to laugh too. Being cut off by someone saying her name.

"Miss Snow," Dr Wells said from behind Caitlin. "A word?"

Caitlin turned around, nodding then bidding Barry and Cisco goodbye. She walked beside Wells as he rolled along.

"Mr Queen called me this morning and said there is a team working to fix the visual situation of Mr Allen." Caitlin moved her head up and down, not daring to say a word for fear of her voice betraying how she was suddenly frightened of a man that had helped her so much. "I also think now would be a good time to start looking at Barry's speed."

"We shouldn't, he has more risk of injuring himself if he can't see. A misstep might serious injure him."

"Then it's a calculated risk, Miss Snow." Caitlin was at a loss for words. Wells was actually considering using Barry's speed when he couldn't see.

"Why would you want him to possibly be hurt?" Caitlin asked. It seemed like some kind of shadow crossed Wells' face for a second.

"Because there are plenty more super humans out there, like Barry. Ones that can harm Central City and the world." Dr Wells stopped, turning to Caitlin. "And even if Bary cannot seem there are other alternatives to his 'condition'."

"We should be ready for the eye surgery in about a week. The teams that is working on my formula is working around the clock." Dr Wells looked at her in her face, his expression blank and unwavering. "Just give me enough time and if it works then we can train Barry to use his speed."

"Very well," the door to Dr Wells' office opened in front of him at the push of a button on the wall. "If he isn't better in two weeks, the training still goes ahead, no matter the condition of Barry."

Caitlin inhaled deeply and turned around. She didn't want Barry to hurt himself; but it seemed like Wells was giving next to no choice. The surgery had to work for everyone, not just Barry.

A.N. I know, I know, this is a short chapter. I originally write these on Quotev and hide the chapters so people can't see them. However, Quotev decided to screw up today, so now I have to place the first chapter back onto the story and post this one. Technology hates me today! Anyway, don't forget to leave me suggestions on what you want to see in this story, because honestly I have no clue about what is going to happen. So any suggestions are appreciated. Hope you all enjoyed and the next chapter should be up tomorrow if I do end up updating daily.
