How could anything ever be okay again? She was supposed to be able to protect the city and she couldn’t even take care of herself. She just looked up at him with wide scared eyes. She closed her eyes feeling his touch and willed herself to breathe deeply.
“Never ever.” She knew she sounded like a child but she felt like one too. She hadn’t been this scared since she was five and had lost her father in the crowd at an amusement park. It had taken hours before the two had been reunited and she was terrified. Laurel nodded her head, hoping there was. “Okay.” She didn’t want to be a hero anymore and these powers would just remind her that she should be using her gift, curse to help people. Grabbing his hands she closed her eyes and squeezed it.
“You first.” She watched them carefully feeling comforted by the weak smile Caitlin and Cisco gave her. It helped that they were nervous, helped that she wasn’t the only one who was feeling out of place and awkward. Her eyes widened seeing what Oliver could do. She had glimpses of it back at that place but watching him show off was something else.
Laurel nodded as Caitlin asked if she was ready. She grabbed for Oliver’s hand and forced herself to keep her eyes opened. Shutting them would just let her fall back into the nightmares. It didn’t stop the shaking or the panicked squeaks she let out every once in a while but at least she could get through it. When they asked to see her abilities she bit her lip before letting out a sonic scream. “Oh.” Her eyes widened as she watched one of the tables get pushed against the wall. “Oooops.” She knew that wasn’t the extent of what she could do but it was all she could control at the moment.
Oliver had looked at her quietly.."Nice and slow.".....he whispered. He just held onto her hands lightly.."Everything is going to be okay, we are safe here."....he said softly. He was quiet while he stood there, he had rested his hands on the sides of her face gently.
"Never, I will never ever leave you."....he said softly..."Just us against the world, remember?"....he whispered. He rested his forehead against hers while he remained close to her.."Just deep breathes, you will be okay."...he said softly. His chest was rising and falling slowly while his eyes remained intently focused on hers. His lips were pressed together, he had squeezed her hands lightly while he watched her every move, his head tilted a bit to look sideways at the others.
Oliver had moved slowly and held his hands out as the flames covered them and his entire head, his chest was rising and falling while he remained perfectly still. He watched Caitlin and Cisco walk around him to look and see exactly how the flames held and the degree of the temperature the flames registered at. He had let his hands fall back at his sides after making the flames vanish entirely.
He turned slowly and held onto her hands gently while he stood behind her just whispering in her ear that he was right there. He was glad he had kept his earplugs in, he cringed slightly and looked seeing the table go into the wall. He smiled softly.."Hey, hey that's okay."....he murmured. He squeezed her hands gently.."You did great."....he said softly, his eyes were partially opened, he leaned and pressed a kiss to the side of her face."You did amazing."...he whispered.
