Barry felt himself being pulled back when he was two steps away from Oliver. He landed on Gabriel's feet shaking with fear. He heard the leader yell at Joe. He didn't even get a chance to express his happiness on seeing his father when he saw the goon aiming the gun at him and ready to pull the trigger

What happened next was blur to him. In an attempt to save his life Barry raised his leg and gave a swift kick to Gabriel's knee. The gun went off and the bullet went pass his shoulder gracing the upper part. The hero cluched his shoulder and slumped on the floor. Gabriel fell on his side grunting in pain

Oliver took this opportunity and lunge at the man on his side, knocking his gun out of his hand. Joe did the same treatment to the men on his side. The gun fell and was strewn across the floor. Soon both engaged in hand to hand combat. Gabriel got up and grabbed Barry by his shirt. He was about to punch him when Joe caught his hand "You are not hurting my son anymore!" the detective raised his fist and brought back down on the leader's face with full force. Gabriel felt his jaw was broke as he took the blow. Joe gave another hit to his side temple and Gabriel went limp on the floor

Oliver was proving little slow in his actions due to the exhaustion and hunger. Joe came forward and helped Oliver to take dowm rest to the men. Soon Gabriel and his men were tied up with belts in a corner of the room.

Joe and Oliver then rushed near Barry who was still on the floor. His eyes were closed and blood was seeping through his shoulder "Barr! Hey son... open your eyes...Barry?" The moment Joe touched Barry's arm the boy jerked and widly started throwing fist at him. The detective was surprised at first but then gently caught the boy's wrist "Hey hey hey calm down son...it's me...Joe...Barr!" Oliver stood beside them not knowing how to react in the situation

It took few seconds for Barry to finally get his bearings and he looked with tear strained eyes at his father "J..Joe?" The detective nodded with a smile "It's me son. You are safe now...no one is going to harm you" The boy looked at Oliver for confirmation to which the older man replied with a nod "We are getting out of here kid"

Barry gave a weak laugh and hugged his father. Joe wrapped his arms tightly around the boy all the while murmuring soft words to him. He could now feel how warm Barry's skin felt and hoped the rescue team arrives soon as possible. A soft wimper in pain was heard from beneath and Joe knew his son was hurting. He saw Oliver grab a blanket and asked the detective to lay Barry back down so he could press the material on the bleeding shoulder.

Joe laid Barry on the floor with his head on his lap. The young hero let out a painful groan when Oliver pressed the blanket on the wound. Joe repeated soft words and ran a hand on Barry's hair knowing how much his son liked this action. He held one of his hand in his and gave a light squeeze just to let Barry know he was there for him

The next thing that happened was a nightmare for Joe. Barry's body gave a jerk and his eyes rolled at the back of his head. He stiffened on the floor as if attacked by a taser gun. Joe's eyes widened with fear "Barry?" The boy kept jerking and it didn't take long for the father to know his son was having a seizure "Oliver!" he yelled at the vigilante as Barry's violent spams locked his joints

Oliver's heart began racing when he saw his friend shaking on the floor with blood gushing out of his mouth, his teeth had cut clean through his tongue "He is having a seizure!" yelled Joe. Oliver hunched down and moved Barry to his side so he could avoid choking on his blood. They kept a soft hold on the young hero and moved little so Barry wasn't crowded

Oliver and Joe felt utterly helpless. Aside from worrying and dreading they had no choice but to wait for Barry to ride out his seizure. Joe kept stroking his forehead saying soft encouraging words through his sweat soaked hair in attempts to soothe the young hero.

Sixty seconds passed like a snail

The seizure didn't last much longer after that, the spams relasing their hold on Barry's muscles and he finally went limp. Joe pulled the boy up and hugged him tighter in his arms, gentle hands rubbing his back combing through his hair. Joe couldn't contain the tears that freely fell from his eyes.

Oliver glanced at the corner of the room and made sure Gabriel and his men were securely tied and walked out of the cabin. The moment he stepped out a single tear fell from his eyes. Barry was suffering and couldn't do anything for him. His eyes scanned the dense forest. Waiting for help to arrive. They needed to get Barry out of here. He clenched his fist hard enough to draw blood. Where were the rescue team? Were they even coming? What if Barry has another attack? His body will not be able to survive

Loud rustling sounds broke Oliver from his negative thoughts. He saw a group of six men come running towards him with gun in hands. They were wearing badges. Relief cursed through his body and he ran towards them "What took you so long? Come on! Hurry up!"

The rescue team officers informed Joe that they brought two choppers. It was decided to put Gabriel and his men in one chopper and the other was arranged for Joe Oliver and Barry to ride. The chopper was brought above the cabin since they couldn't wait any longer seeing Barry's health getting worse. The boy was then loaded in a hanging stretcher and pulled up by a rope. Next was Oliver and Joe's turn. The chopper then rushed towards Central City.

TWENTY FOURS LATER

"Please tell me...I am not dreaming" Barry's voice was rasp and heavy as he looked at the worried faces of his team members

Caitlin immediately came forward and checked his vitals "Lie still Barry. You are still healing"

"You are awake!" Cisco greeted his friend with a smile "How are you doing man. You scared the hell out of us" Barry asked with confused expression "Ah...why? What happened?"

Joe gave his son For-real look "You don't remember Barr?" Barry looked as if he was trying hard to think "I know we crashed our jet...no food...no water...Gabriel...Oh my God...Joe did you catch him?" the hero again tried to get up from the bed but Joe and Cisco pushed him back "Relax son. Gabriel is send where he belongs. You need to rest"

Barry sighed in relief. He turned his head where Caitlin was standing "How bad?" Caitlin looked up from her chart board "Well you have infection on your ankle which is slowly healing. You were severely dehydrated and I found three broken ribs. Your fever was sky rocketing when you were brought here. Not to forget the seizure you had. You were lucky it didn't last longer or else anything would have happened...brain damage...coma...or death" her last words were barely a whisper

"Wow! I am glad you came Joe. Thank you" Barry looked at his father. Joe smiled and kissed Barry's forehead "I am glad to seen you alright. Iris is on her way. She was really upset when you went missing" Barry nodded "I will talk to her"

Barry's eyes then searched for one person who was missing in the room "Joe...where is Oliver? Is he alright?" Cisco answered his friend "He is resting in next room. Though I thinks you should talk to him. It looks like he blames himsellf what happened to you"

"What?"

"Yeah. He refused to see you when I informed him you were out of danger. Said he will only cause harm to you. He wanted to leave and go back to Starling but Joe stopped him" Cisco finished and Barry felt bad inside. He looked at Caitlin "Can you unhook me Cait"

Caitlin shook her head "Barry you are still weak. You need these IV's to regain your strength" Barry pleaded to his friend "I will come back as soon as I talk with Oliver. I need to do this"

"But.."

"Please"

Caitlin looked at Joe and Cisco who kinda were on Barry's side. She had no choice but to agree "Fine. But only for few minutes and then I want you back in bed" Barry nodded twice and Caitlin removed his IV

Cisco wrapped Barry's arm around his shoulder and helped the limping hero to the next room. When they reached at the door Cisco left Barry who gave a knock at the door "Can I come in?"

Oliver, currently sitting on the bed with his back facing the door was typing something on his phone when he heard Barry's voice. The vigilante tensed at first but was glad he could hear Barry's voice again "You should rest" he didn't even turn to face the boy

Barry frowned "Aren't you going to let me in"

Oliver shook his head "Go away Barry...You were hurt because of me"

"That is not true Ollie" Barry tried to walk forward but gasped when he accidentally put pressure on his ankle. Oliver heard the gasp and turned around. He saw the boy was about to fall and ran to catch him "Barry!"

Oliver caught the falling speedster "Are you crazy? Who even allowed you to come over here all alone. Come on sit down" Barry couldn't help but smile at Oliver's concern. He was made to sit on the bed and Oliver passed him a glass of water "Are you okay? Any pain? Should I call Caitlin?"

Barry nodded "I am fine Oliver. Thanks to you" The vigilante shook his head "Don't say thanks to me. You should be mad at me"

"For saving my life?"

"For letting you get hurt"

Barry sighed "You and I both know it was not your fault. It happens okay...our timing was bad. Besides we did accomplish our goal. Gabriel is behind the bars"

Oliver was quiet and Barry knew he was still feeling guilty "Come on Oliver. If it wasn't for you I would have been dead by now"

"What do you mean? I did nothing to help you"

Barry hummed "Okay so let's count what you did" he held his fingers out to count "You pulled the rod out of my ankle...you changed my bandages many times...saved my life from a bear...you shared your sandwitches with me...you stayed up whole night when I was suffering from fever...you went to deal with bad guys for me...what else proof you want Ollie?"

"Barry..."

"No Oliver...don't beat yourself up over something that is not your fault. You were there for me when I needed you the most. That's what friends do...brothers do" Barry saw Oliver gave a small smile "Now if you will not listen to me then I will call Felicity and make her sit on you" Barry finished but next second his eyes widened "Oh my God...she is your girlfriend...she does sit on it...I mean you..your stuff..I.."

Oliver chukled "Barry you can stop!"

"Sorry" Barry smiled "Can I have a hug" Oliver stared at him "You know I don't like to hug"

"Come on... I got owies...please" Barry showed his beat puppy face and the older man had no choice but to take his friend in his arms "Stop using your baby face to get things done your way" Barry laughed and hugged his friend tighter "Thank you Oliver"

"You are welcome kid. Anytime"
