Cisco Pov.
"Stiles," I shout once more slapping his face trying to keep him awake.

"Stiles, stay awake buddy. Stay awake!"

    His eyes start to close and I yell for Caitlin. Wells pulls her back again to Barry. Joe comes rushing into the room and sees Stiles on the floor and no one helping him. He loves Barry and Stiles they both need help. Joe puts his hand up to his mouth in shock.

"Oh my god." He whispers before rushing to Stiles trying to get him to wake up and checking his pulse. Once he finds it he lets out a sigh of relief before calling for Caitlin or Wells. Caitlin tries to leave once more but Wells grabs her arm again.

"Let go of me. You're a doctor you can do it yourself. They both need help." She growls while yanking her arm away and rushing to Stiles side. Stiles breathing starts to slow and become rougher.

"Caitlin!" I yell in worry when Stiles coughs up blood. She rolls him gently on his side so he won't choke. Oh my god, he has a claw in his back. Her eyes go wide and she starts yelling orders.

"Bring Stiles to a bed now." She says going into doctor mode eyes shining with unshed tears. I quickly roll up his sleeve and start an IV, having done it multiple times.

"Okay," she says shakily," Joe I need you to keep him rolled on his side while I get the claw out."

Joe does as asked and gently rolled Stiles onto his side. He groaned in pain eyelids fluttering.

"Not good......Caitlin, what if he wakes up?" I ask grabbing the necessary tools for her, looking at Stiles nervously. She glances at him while snapping a glove into place on her hand.

"Let's hope he doesn't." She says getting to work on the claw.

.......................time skip...............................

After about half an hour Caitlin finishes up fixing Stiles without problem. There was a few times he would groan in pain but other then that he was out like a light. It's a good thing he was too because I'm sure it would have been much worse helping fix him up if he were awake.

I still can't believe this happened. We should have investigated more instead of jumping into the thick of things. Stiles is going to be so pissed when he wakes up and hears what Barry did without knowing what he was getting into. Stiles stayed longer in the coma and didn't tell us he had powers until a few weeks of doing the hero gig himself but that doesn't mean he's any less a part of this team then the rest of us. I still remember the shocked look that Barry had when Stiles took off his helmet. He looked like a gaping fish. His suit was badass too. It suited him, I asked him if he wanted me to adjust anything and make him a suit like Barry's but he said no. He was only 20 and he made one that could withstand his speed with an added addition of an A.I. in his helmet. Stiles won't admit it but he's a genius. That kid could make a radio with a couple of sticks and some glue.

"When will they wake up?" Joe asked sliding a hand down his face in worry.

"I..." Caitlin sighed looking at the two brothers on the medical beds side by side. "Stiles shows signs of waking up in an hour or two. Barry.... Barry might take longer. He had his back broken, Joe. He was in bad shape, if it wasn't for Stiles.. I wouldn't want to think of what could've happened."

Joe nodded thinking of an explanation he could tell Captain Singh. "You tell me when either of them wakes up. You hear me?"

"We'll keep you updated." I said chewing on a twizzler worriedly staring at my best friend and his younger brother. Joe hugs Caitlin and then me still not trusting Harry. I heard him yelling at him earlier saying it was Harry's fault this happened.

"Thank you." He murmured quietly before leaving the cortex. I sigh grabbing a chair to sit next to Stiles and Barry. Caitlin follows doing different tests to see if they were still okay. Now... we wait.

Stiles Pov.
My eyes feel like lead. It feels like I've been trying to open them for forever, rationally I know it hasn't been that long but my ADHD says otherwise. I hiss in pain when I finally manage to get them open then quickly shut them. The light was really bright.

"He's awake! Caitlin, Stiles is awake!"Cisco exclaimed from some where beside me. I heard what sounded like a desk chair rolling away so I'm assuming he's shocked.

"Shhh," I mumble in pain before attempting to open my eyes again. This time I slowly let them adjust and I can see clearly now. "Why are you so loud?"

"You almost died dude," Cisco said quietly, frowning at the thought. Both Barry and I could have died. Barry.... shit Barry.

"Where's Barry? Where's my brother?!"

"Calm, calm. He's right beside you, dude..... it's not pretty." He said softly glancing at Barry. I look over as well trying to sit up when I see all of the machines hooked up to him. Cisco pushes me down. "Don't do that."

I just sit there staring at my brother until Cait comes into the room. She hugs me very carefully as if I would break into pieces at any moment. Smiling at her reasurredly I hug her back full force and breathe in her scent. It calms me down and I slowly release her. "I missed you."

"I missed you too," she said smiling then she frowned looking at Barry. I noticed and frowned as well, taking in the neck brace and many things hooked up to him.

"How bad is it?" I ask quietly going back to staring at him.

"Bad." Caitlin whispers noticing my staring and takes my hand in hers, giving it a squeeze. I shouldn't have left. I knew about Zoom and I knew the possible dangers but I left. I left and that caused my brother to be unprepared and get hurt. Barry rushes into things without thinking and doesn't anticipate things going wrong. He doesn't plan until he's already gotten hurt. I should have stayed. Without realizing it my head began to lower in shame and regret.

    "I know what you're thinking and it's not your fault Stiles."

     "Yes.. yes it is, Cait. If I would've stayed instead of going back-"

     "No. It wasn't your fault. You went back to spend time with your friends and your Dad. None of this is your fault."Caitlin said firmly. It was Team Flash's fault for not planning better and Zoom's. Not mine.

        Logically I knew it wasn't my fault but I couldn't help it, my damn Allen/Stilinski hero complex kicking in. I have always felt the need to protect others and when I fail I blame myself. If only I had planned better, if only I had ran faster, if only. There were so many if only's running through my head. "Caitlin..."

"No, Stiles."

I opened my mouth to say more then closed it and looked away. She wouldn't be able to change my mind. Caitlin gives me a look filled with compassion and sympathy as she stands up while squeezing my shoulder. Her doctor mode was kicking in and she grabbed a stethoscope on the desk next to the bed I was laying on. "Come on let me take your vitals." She said softly.

I stayed still and remained quiet as she poked and prodded me all over, looking at my brother hooked up to various machines the whole time. The only thing that kept me from worrying was the somewhat steady rise and fall of his chest. A heart moniter would have kept me even more at ease but our speed prevented using one. They always flatlined because of how fast are heart rate actually was.

"I have to explain to my friends about who I am." I couldn't help but break the silence. It was surprising that they didn't figure it out by themselves considering my heartbeat and there super hearing but then again my wolves weren't that smart when it came to noticing the obvious.

The doctor glanced up from her charts that she was writing on waiting for more of an explanation.

"I ran out on them. They saw me use my speed."

"Stiles, I- " She sighed and looked at Barry asleep on the other bed. "I wish I could tell you that everything will be okay once you do but.. but look at what happened when Joe found out who Barry was. They might... just be careful. You said that they had superpowers right? Don't let them try to bully you into quitting what you obviously love doing."

I laughed, actually laughed. They wouldn't be able to bully me and if they did I'd be able to put them in place verbally without using my speed. Caitlin was like an older sister. A way better one than Iris. I love Iris but she's broke Barry way too many times to count for my liking and she tried to get me to stop being a hero. Her excuse was that I was too young and that a college student shouldn't be out risking his kid to save others.

When Iris found out about me being Riptide she freaked even more than when she found out about Barry. She screamed her head off and demanded that I stop at once. Just because I and superpowers didn't mean I had to use them to help people. It was a funny thing when she said that because jokes on her I've always helped people. With or without powers I would always help people.

"I don't think they physically could, Cait."

She rolled her eyes and smiled lightly at my display of joy. "You know what I meant. Don't let them get in your head."

I smiled more and ran a hand down my face to get rid of my exhaustion. I felt so tired. "I won't."

Caitlin finished checking my vitals and put her hand on my cheek, brushing her thumb across it gently in a motherly fashion. "Get some sleep, hero. Barry will still be here when you wake up again. I'll make sure of it."

I yawned, get some sleep? But I had already been asleep. I didn't argue though and nodded, closing my eyes slowly as morpheus claimed me and red eyes and lightning filled my vision. Seeing Wells while facing Zoom brought back painful memories I would have rather kept barried.

Stiles: And here I thought I would've been awake at the end of this chapter. Way to be creative mighty author. Really, I'm awed by the originality of this ending.

Me: *rolls my eyes* I know, I thought you'd like it. I like to keep it the same. It's not because you're just easy to make fall asleep. No.

Stiles: *fake shocked gasp* How dare you say I fall asleep easily! How dare!

Me: I'm the writer deal with it, big boy.

Stiles: Fiiiiine, just say your stuff to the audience and be done with it.

Me: I will. Thank you for reading and I hoped you liked this chapter! As I said in the description I don't own any of the characters those rights are reserved to the two shows respectively. (Well I think the Flash is actually owned by like DC but whatever) Thank you!
