if she'd been covered with glitter

She did get herself into trouble.

( Quite a few times. Stuck her nose in things, went off on her own, tried to fix things when she could. And held her own sense of guilt, too. He and Felicity really were birds of a feather when they finally found their way to one another, after the drama and sudden kids and ex-cop boyfriends. )

Yeah, she did. And got us out of our fair share.

[There's a small pause, because it never doesn't hurt.]

I miss her.

Me too, Barry.

( For a long time, they were star-crossed. But, Oliver has lost people he loved before. Now, he makes space for them inside his heart and his memories. Laurel helped him with that. )

I came in hot, didn't I?

( It involved his kids. )

Tell Iris I'll curb my attitude next time.

I'm sure she will appreciate it.

[Iris is not as scared of Oliver as Barry is.]

She also probably thinks I should just suck it up when you're mad at me because I probably did something to earn it.

Probably. Tell her the truth. You did what you thought was right.

( He might do the same. )

I'll do that. And if you need me for anything, all you have to do is call.

[Deep breath, and his phone buzzes in his ear, which he pauses to check.]

J'onn texted me back. He'll be up to check on Mia in a couple days.
