It already did its damage to her life.

( If Barry or his kids are up on the tabloids. )

He remembers, doesn't he?

( He hasn't had confirmation of this yet. )

[Barry holds his gaze for a moment, before shaking his head.]

Crisis was ... a lot. Oliver almost died. In the end, the paragons had to make a choice, and it was the difference between have an Oliver who remembered or no Oliver at all.

[So no, Oliver doesn't remember.]

[slavophile]

So, it's you. Mia. And -- these other paragons. Okay. I'm worried. She doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve and she lived with this alone for so long. What can I do?

( He just needs Barry Allen advice. )

[supertardiness]

[Barry's going to do his best. It's complicated, but he's glad that Mia is talking about it.]

Sometimes the best thing you can do is be there. Mia's a lot like your dad, and getting him to talk about his feelings is an ordeal on a good day, but it sounds like she's already opening up to you.

[He reaches a hand over and squeezes his shoulder.]

Just be there. She'll talk about it when she's ready. And if you start notice that she's having issues - things that are really hurting her physically - call me or Kara and we'll get J'onn out there to have a look at her, okay?

[slavophile]

Yeah. Okay. I will. Just - don't mention I mentioned it? Talk at your place over nachos tonight will go down better than me invading my sister's privacy.

( But it has been weighing on him. )

[supertardiness]

[Barry nods in agreement before squeezing his shoulder gently.]

No problem. Just know that I'm here if you all need me.

[And with that they will head out for nacho night at the West-Allen house.]
