Turn A Blind Eye (Barry Allen/Oliver Queen)

Brilliant Sun

Barry had kept his gauze pads over his eyes for a week, despite his body healing faster than a normal persons. Numerous tests had been conducted to see if anything was wrong with Barry, so far everything turned out negative. Dr Wells seemed somewhat happy, when the young adults saw him, that is. Usually the scientist would lock himself in one of the many secluded rooms in the building.

In the room Dr Wells rolled into, he held a small remote in his hand. It moved in his hand, as he monitored a screen in front of him. The image showed the three young adults, all together in the main space of the lab. Wells' thumb hovered over the larger red button, above a lit up green button.

"Soon," Wells said to himself, "Very soon."

"Maybe once your eyes heal we can test your speed?" Cisco half asked, he was excited to see if they could test the super speed. Barry nodded.

"I'm looking forward to it," Barry replied. He slowly began to walk around the room, wondering about what it would be like to see again. It had been, what, four months since he woke up from the lightning? A little over a year since he had been with Joe and Iris, almost following Iris around like a lost puppy. Completely head of heels in love with her. Then he met Oliver, Felicity and everyone else on a CSI case in Starling City. He almost forgot what everyone looked like.

"You can take them off in a few hours, we will take them off later today." Caitlin said, her back facing the two men. For some reason, Caitlin had a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. She hated that feeling. It was the same feeling she had on the day of the accident, when she sat at home with Ronnie. She never seemed to leave the lab nowadays, only getting him at two in the morning, then going back only a few hours later.

This situation with Bary would not only give him a life, but everyone he was in contact with too. Caitlin should have been happy about that. But apparently her bad feelings were right.

"Caitlin, it's going to be a good thing," Cicso said from behind her. "You can at least sound happy."

"Sorry," she mumbled. Her focus turned back to the computer scene in front of her. It had her formula in a small window, and a picture of her and Ronnie kissing, her engagement ring sparkling in the sunlight. They stood in the middle of a nearby park, spending the day with Ronnie's five year old cousin. He was a little sweetie.

The Arrow was back in Central City again. People began to talk, mostly excited talk among the town that someone was helping their town. But Starling City was where The Arrow belonged, and there were many people in the community that knew that.

"When is Oliver going to get here?" Barry whined. His head rolled back, as he slowly turned on his chair.

"I think it'll be soon," a voice answered him. Barry stopped turning in his chair. That voice.

"Oliver?" Barry asked, lifting his head up. He thought his neck was creaking from raising it slowly.

"You sound surprised," Oliver noted slowly. "I told you I was coming by."

"Well, yeah," Barry stood up, his hand instantly connecting with the table behind him to balance himself. "But I wasn't sure that The Arrow would be in Central City."

"I know I shouldn't be helping," Oliver swallowed, then continued. "But your speed not being used right now, I figured your city needed help."

"Thanks, I guess." Barry mumbled. He touched at the gauze, that Oliver couldn't stop starring at because it wasn't something people saw everyday. But he swung around in a costume, firing arrows at people; Oliver thought he of all people shouldn't be starring.

"When do those come off?" Oliver asked.

"Sometime today," Barry smiled. "I think she wants everyone to be here." The sound of the lab door opening alerted Barry. Oliver turned around slowly. There in the doorway was a cop, the blue contrasting with the dark skin. There were times when Oliver hated cops, learning how crooked they can be, but this man had a smile on his face, and his arms out slightly.

"So this is S.T.A.R. Labs, Dr Wells." The man stopped in his tracks, looking not at Oliver in surprise, but- "Barry!"

"Joe!" After nearly a year, Barry had remembered the voice he missed dearly. And the hug the two shared was even better. He had the man who he considered his dad, back!

"It's so good to see you." Joe pulled back from the embrace. He took a step back to get a better look at Barry's face. "You doing fine, feeling alright? They're treating you good here, right?"

"Yes, yes; and yes. I'll be better once these damn patches are off." Barry smiled again, not being able to contain his happiness.

"Ooh, speaking of that," Caitlin rushed in with Cisco. "Are you ready to get them off?" Barry suddenly felt sick. But he tried to not let it show; nerves wouldn't have any effect on him.

"I'm ready," Barry replied. Caitlin took a deep breath in through her nose (she too was extremely nervous), and carefully proceeded to take the pads off slowly. The tape and glue had held well, adhering to Barry's skin. Barry's eyes were closed; he felt tingling over his eyelids and the surrounding area as Caitlin cleaned some of the stickiness off.

"Open your eyes." Joe said softly,

Barry's eyes felt extremely heavy, like someone had glued his eye shut. He honestly thought the doctors had glued them shut during the procedure. Slowly, ever so slolwy, they cracked open. Everything was blurry for nearly a minute, only seeing weird blobs.

"Let's go outside." Caitlin held onto Barry's hand as she led him out. Things slowly became clearer to Barry's eyes. It wasn't until they were outside, that Barry's eyes were somewhat adjusted. The Rays of sunshine seemed to make everything brighter. Colours were amazing to see, the trees giving a nice feeling, opposing to the almost harsh looking buildings around the area.

"It all beautiful!" Barry couldn't stop smiling.

He could FINALLY see again!

A.N. Barry can see again. The story title will still be the same, it'll just mean something different. And this also means that we will be seeing Barry's super speed in action very soon. Maybe he can work with (or against) Ollie in then future? I hope you all liked this, don't forget to leave suggestions on what you want to see. And please, leave more comments and stuff, it will help out a ton!
