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.

[kapiushon]

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.

[supertardiness]

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.

[kapiushon]

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

( He might do the same. )

[supertardiness]

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.

[kapiushon]

Thanks, Barry.

( He really turned around the berating, didn't he. He can do this being friend's thing. )

[supertardiness]

Anytime, Oliver.

[And with that he will hang up and go back to spending quality time with his wife.]
