[ Isn't and much. Those two words work for Barry. Especially in regards to something like this. ]

[ Barry's face falls into something serious. ] Mr. Diggle, I can assure you, I am going to do absolutely everything in my power to save him. [ He nods his head, his voice teetering slightly. ] Everything.

[ well, at least the current state of affairs is working for one of them, then.

those words would be more of a comfort if diggle knew what barry is or isn't capable of. ( they're still a comfort, just not as much of one. ) ] Appreciate that.

I have the flu, so I'm KINDA slow, but! I'm loving your Dig!

[ One of his shoulders falls up and down in a shrug. ] It's — the least I could do. Really.

He's, well, [ Hello, self-deprecating chuckle. ] he's kind of my hero.

i don't even have an excuse, i'm just always slow, but your barry is wonderful

[ oliver isn't always a hero, but he's got the potential to be one despite the times he messes up. he's more of a hero than anyone else diggle knows, in the end.

that, and he's john's friend. that matters more. ] And now he needs your help.

[ how's it feel to have to save your hero? ]

Don't you worry. I get that. Aw, but thank you! Very much.

[ It's both an honor and a frightening privilege. He can't think of something more terrifying. Do this and succeed and be the savior of your hero. Do this and fail and be the killer of your hero.

Starling City really is a whole other ball game, isn't it? ]

I won't let him down.

<3

[ he had better not let oliver die. it wouldn't be his fault if he didn't manage to save oliver, there are some things that are just beyond anyone's control, john knows that.

doesn't make it easy to forgive. ]

Good.

<3!

[ Barry folds his arms, nodding seriously. ]

Thank you, Mr. Diggle. For believing in me. I know we've only just met, but — it means a lot.

[ this is getting too emotional for his taste, far too emotional. gruffly: ] Yeah, all right.
