In A Matter Of Seconds [Under Editing]

Chapter 34

She sat on the sidewalk and rested her head against her chin.

"Are you okay?" Barry had went after her and sat next to her.

"He's a killer?" Barry sighed.

"He's not a killer, Emely." She looked at him.

"He's killed people with his arrows, Barry. Who knows who else he's wanting to kill.

"Em, he's not going to hurt us." Emely broke her gaze from Barry.

"You seriously can't believe he'll hurt us. He's our friend."

"I'm not saying he wants to hurt us. But if he has to, then he will." Emely got up and went back inside.

She got there in time as the boomerang was flying around the Cortex. 

"That's on me. That's my bad." Emely shook her head and rolled her eyes. 

"I want that Arrow out of my city, tonight."

The next day, Emely and Barry headed to Jitters to meet Oliver and  Felicity.

"Hey."

"The bad guy you're after, the who robbed a bank, his name is Roy G. Bivolo." Emely looked at Oliver.

"Did you kill someone? Is that how you got the name?" Barry looked at Emely.

"Emely." Barry hugged her. 

"Barry." He sighed. 

"I know how you how you feel about Oliver killing people as  the Arrow." Emely felt tears prick her eyes.

"Oliver's a good guy, Barry." Barry rubbed her back.

"You should talk to him." Emely shook her head and held onto Barry tighter.

"I can't. He'll hate me." Barry sighed. 

He let go of Emely and pried her hands off.

"I thought you didn't wanna team up?" 

"I'm not. It's just a name." Oliver looked at Emely who seemed to be crying.

"Emely, are you okay?" Emely tensed up.

"Baby, you have to talk to him." Emely sighed then nodded.

"I need to talk to you. Alone." Oliver nodded and Felcity left with Barry to another table.

"What's going on?" Emely bit her lip. 

"I know that you've killed people as the Arrow. And I-" She took a shaky deep breath.

"Emely, I wouldn't ever dare to hurt you or Barry or anyone you care about. That's the one thing I wouldn't wanna do." 

"But if you had to?" He was silent.

"Emely, you have to understand that I kill those people that should be dead. You're not one of those people. I care for you and because of that I couldn't harm you if it was the last thing I had to do." 

Oliver got up and hugged Emely as she sobbed into his chest.

"It's okay, Emely. It's alright." 

"I'm sorry." He wiped her tears. 

"Don't apologize. You have a right to express your emotions." Emely nodded.

"Sorry about your shirt." Oliver chuckled.

"I have more. Now, I said I wasn't gunna help, but I'll do it for you." Emely smiled

"Thank you." Oliver hugged her again.

"So you got with Barry during a meta-human fight thing." 

Barry and Oliver had gone out to train, Emely telling Oliver to go easy since Barry was one of a kind.

"Yeah. I was glad." Felicity smiled.

"Of course you were." Emely checked the time. 

"Alright, my beautiful tacos. I have to go to work." Felicity smiled at her. 

"Bye." Emely waved as she left." 

When she got there, her and Joe started to go through some papers when Barry approached them. 

"Hey, what's going on?" Barry motioed at the room. 

"Eddie's making his case for the task for again." 

"I thought that Captain shot him down." Emely sighed. 

"Apparently, he's got a new argument. The Arrow made another appearance last night." They began walking. 

"And you forgot to tell me that you got Bivolo's name from shooting that storage guy in the leg." 

"Technially, Barry didn't shoot him." Joe looked at Emely.

"What word would you use to describe how you both got this info? I'm gunna go with torture." Joe handed someone a file.

"I don't- The Arrow gets results." 

"He's a crazy man." Emely rolled her eyes.

"He's not crazy. You just think he is." Joe shook his head.

"He's crazy."
