You just told me about the powers. Sorry I'm familiar with its inner workings already?

[ Again. Why is he friends with you?

U g h. ]

Not really bad though right? Because you're texting me. I mean you hallucinating is bad anyway but you know.

[Because he's a ray of goddamn sunshine.

If sunshine was a dark green and stabbed people as a form of stress relief.]

I've been here since November. I've learned to work around it.

[ Ray of sunshine. The more apt description is angry cloud that looks like it's going to unleash hell on earth.

Because sometimes those are dark green and hail hits people. Painfully. ]

That is not what I asked. Nice attempt at deflection. Try again. Just this once. I will bring Felicity into this, I'm not above play that card.

[Oliver just spends like a minute grinding his teeth and glaring at the communictator.]

Depending on the severity of what's going to happen, the hallucinations start either a week or two weeks before. If I'm directly involved, they're constant and intense. If I'm not, they're there and manageable.

They warn me of general danger, but any specifics are either in a language that doesn't actually exist, or can't be said at all.

[Happy?]

[ Give Barry a minute to actually fistpump in the air because he got you to do that. Victory is his! ]

And the one you're having is manageable right now, right? You're not just gritting your teeth and bearing one to talk to me about this?

Thank you for saying it, btw. That's what I wanted to hear, because information sharing is important remember?

[ He's gonna make a team player of you yet, Oliver Queen. ]

[restitute]

Yes.

[Fuck you, Barry Allen.]

It's manageable.

[tardily]

Okay. Then manage it and be careful. I know it's manageable and that means you're not in involved but if the specifics aren't...understandable, it still means you should be careful.

Just like I'll be careful while we're both running crowd control. Can you promise me you'll be careful? Just so I know you'll be in one Arrow piece at the end of this?

[ Aggressively ruins your fuck you!!! ]
