Nothing Is That Simple
The Flash, Glee, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow Crossover
Barry Allen was Sebastian Smythe; he thought he could keep that part of his life separate from his life now but nothing is ever that simple for him.

Also I have never seen Glee other than watching YouTube videos of Grant's performances in the show and damn this needed to be written.
Chapter One
"Why am I here again?" Barry asked as he adjusted his tie as he looked at Oliver.
"It's a movie premier in Central and I needed a plus one." Oliver replied and pushed Barry's hands away from his tie to fix it himself.
"No I got that part, but what I meant is why me? You do know the paper's tomorrow are going to be ranting about 'Oliver Queen or Oliver Queer?" Barry pointed out.
"They can think whatever they want, I wanted to go with you because we've both been really busy lately and you know Central better than anyone." Oliver brushed off Barry's concerns.
"What about Felicity?" Barry asked thinking of their mutual tech friend.
"She actually encouraged me to ask you, something about Olivarry and winning a bet with Thea?" Oliver explained and Barry felt his cheeks heat up.
"Yeah that sounds like her." Barry muttered as the two approached the entrance to the premier.
"Now just smile and try not to trip over anything." Oliver teased before plastered his 'public' mask on with a huge fake smile as he waved at the flashes coming from the camera's. Barry gave a small smile, as he stayed glued to Oliver's side not liking all these cameras.
"Stay here, I have to go answer some questions or else they will never leave us alone." Oliver squeezed Barry's arm lightly before he walked over to the row of reporters.
"Sebastian?" A voice cried out and Barry spun to see Cooper Anderson of all people staring at him in shock.
"Cooper?" Barry stared at Blaine's older brother in shock, even more shock appeared when Cooper rushed over to him and picked him up in a tight hug.
"None of us had heard from you in like a year! Are you okay?" Cooper asked, ignoring the camera flashes as he placed Barry on his feet and held him at arms length to study him.
"Ah, I was hit by lightning and was in a coma for about 9 months." Barry said awkwardly.
"Lightning and a COMA?" Cooper gasped at the younger man who rubbed his neck looking shy, completely out of character for Sebastian.
"Yeah and everything's been a blur since and I haven't been able to talk to anyone from Ohio, not that I'm sure they would want to hear from me anyways." He muttered the last part and Cooper frowned at the obvious guilt and self loathing that didn't work well with the Sebastian he knew.
"Is everything okay Bar?" Oliver sided up to the brunet, dropping his hand on Barry's shoulder giving Cooper a look.
"Everything's fine Ollie, just an… Old friend." Barry said gesturing to Cooper.
"Oliver Queen, Barry is my plus one tonight." Oliver said, his pleasant smile obviously forced as he held his hand out to Cooper.
"Cooper Anderson, I know 'Barry' from our time in Paris and he went to high school with my little brother." Cooper forced a smile as well as he firmly shook Oliver's hand, both men trying to break the other's hands. Cooper gave Barry a look at the obvious name change and Barry looked sheepish.
"Cooper Anderson, the star of this movie?" Oliver asked impressed, giving Barry a sideway glance.
"That's me!" Cooper smirked before Oliver slung his arm around Barry's shoulders tugging him closer to his side and the smirk turned into a frown.
"I didn't know you knew a movie star Bar." Oliver said teasingly eyeing the sudden frown Cooper had.
"Oh he knows a lot of people. Kurt Hummel the designer, Santana Lopez the super star and that is just the tip of the iceberg." Cooper laughed and Barry grunted, cheeks heating up.
"Lady Hummel and I aren't really friends and Lopez and I have mutual hatred." Barry interrupted using his old nickname for Kurt out of reflex gaining an odd look from Oliver.
"Please, you helped Blaine propose and then you were their best man at their wedding and you modeled some of his first creations and you helped Santana get to where she is now. I think you mended bridges pretty well." Cooper laughed at the nickname.
"It's been great seeing you Cooper, but we should get going, congrats on the movie." Barry nodded his head at the movie star and dragged Oliver away.
Cooper pulled out his phone and dialed a number quickly.
"Hello?"
"Blaine? Hey it's Coop, you will never guess who I found." Cooper felt a smile creep onto his face as he watched Sebastian walk away with Oliver Queen.
"It's like midnight here Coop, couldn't this wait?" Blaine asked, voice tired.
"I found Sebastian." Cooper stated and he chuckled as he heard a thud and another voice cry out in pain.
"You what?" Blaine asked breathlessly.
"In Central City at my movie premier as Oliver Queen's plus one!" Cooper informed his brother and laughed loudly at the numerous swear words coming from his little brother on the other end.
"We're coming to Central City tomorrow, I need to see this for myself." Blaine said and Kurt cried out as Cooper assumed Blaine had kicked him.
"You might want to tell the others, I'm sure they've been wondering about him too." Cooper laughed and hung up his phone and turned to the crowd to wave and smile.

"So what do you know?" Blaine asked his brother as he, Kurt, Thad, Nick and Jeff settled around the suite that Cooper was staying in during his stay in Central.
"I looked up the guests from the premier last night." Cooper waved a file folder in the air.
"He is going by the name Barry Allen and he was Oliver Queen's plus one last night."
"Barry Allen not Sebastian Smythe?" Nick asked confused.
"And Oliver Queen? Where they there 'together'?" Kurt asked interested, getting a small whack from his husband.
"Queen was giving off quite the 'he's mine back off' vibe so you never know." Cooper said thinking back to the possessive arm around Sebastian and the glare he had gotten when they were talking.
"I think we would have heard about it if Oliver Queen had hooked up with Seb." Jeff insisted.
"You would think, but the possessive aura he was giving off tells a different story." Cooper insisted.
"Damn always getting the hottest pieces of ass." Nick grumbled.
"And I was number one." Cooper chimed in and Blaine let out a wounded sound as he clapped his hands over his ears.
"You don't need to remind me!' He whined at his brother who just laughed.
"I know why he missed the reunion a few months ago." Cooper said, face turning serious.
"It better be a damn good reason to ignore all our messages and not show up to the reunion." Thad grumbled he was still annoyed by the lack of communication.
"It is a damn good reason Thad, remember when that particle accelerator exploded here more than a year ago?" Cooper asked swallowing hard trying not to remember the images he saw when he had researched the incident.
"Yeah it was horrible." Kurt shuddered he remembered the new casts and images that were shown in the news.
"Well that night a lightning bolt came from the explosion and hit Sebastian, he was in a coma for 9 months." Cooper delivered the news and the room fell silent.
"I'm sorry I thought you said he was struck by lightning and was in a coma for 9 months, because that would be insane." Nick rubbed at his ears, clearly thinking he misheard.
"It's the truth, I made a few calls and I got some photos of his time in a coma…" Cooper opened the file folder and pulled out a few photos, all of Sebastian unconscious in a hospital bed, oxygen mask attached to his face with numerous other wires sticking out of him.
"Oh my god." Blaine slumped into his husband's arms who looked just as distressed as he rubbed soothing circles onto Blaine's shoulders.
"That's, oh god Bas, he could have died and we didn't even know." Thad put his head in his hands.
"He's okay now, he's still in Central City, working as get this. A CSI in the police department." Cooper smiled remembering what his source told him.
"Good for him even if I swore he was going to become a star on Broadway or become a lawyer." Jeff said slowly, still processing the lightning and coma thing.
"Why didn't he call us when he woke up?" Blaine asked suddenly sitting up straight.
"We will have to ask that when we find him." Cooper said smugly as he scrolled through his phone.
"How do we find him?" Thad asked leaning forward.
"Being a star can have it's advantages, I have some feelers out and I just heard that our Sebby is currently at a park with Oliver Queen and some other quote sexy as fuck older guy in a parka, end quote." Cooper read off his phone.
"He's still got it huh, think it's a threesome?" Jeff smirked causing Nick, Blaine and Kurt all to blush and looked away. Cooper raised an eyebrow, mentally filing this away to be brought back up later.
"What are we still doing here? Let's go see Bas!" Thad stood up, grabbing his jacket off his chair. He was followed by a chorus of 'yeah's' and the group made their way out of their hotel and towards the park Cooper's 'feelers' had said they spotted Sebastian.
