Note: Let me know if you guess it before the end.

Enjoy!

...

It's my fault.

...

"Hey, Bear," Len greeted.

Barry rolled his eyes. "What happened to Scarlet?" he deadpanned, making Len laugh.

"Well, that's what your friends and family call you, so I thought I would give it a shot."

"But your not quite my family, nor my friend, so I ask again: why?"

"What happened to Snart?" Len countered.

"Well, I figured I shouldn't call my boyfriend by his last name, which is also the name police use."

Len rolled his eyes.

"You do that too often," Barry said without looking up.

Len wondered if he should roll his eyes just to piss Barry off.

This time it was Barry who rolled his eyes, almost as if he knew exactly what Len was thinking.

...

I shouldn't have done it.

...

"You, the great Captain Cold, need help?" Caitlin asked with an unamused stare.

"Glad to know you think I'm great," Len countered.

Caitlin rolled her eyes (Seriously, what is with all the eye rolling!).

"Also, your boyfriend requested that it be you," Len added as an afterthought.

"Since when do you talk about yourself in the third person?" Barry asked.

"No, I was talking to the good doctor."

Caitlin blushed.

"You have a boyfriend!?" Cisco shouted.

"And he's on the Rogues!? Hypocritical much?" Barry added.

"Who is it?" Cisco asked.

"Mick."

"What!?" they shouted at the same time (Cisco and Barry).

"Well, I'll leave you to it," Len winked before walking out, leaving Caitlin to face the two boys who looked about ready to tackle her.

...

I could have stopped it.

...

"You certainly took your time," Len said as Barry stormed out an hour later.

"I should have lectured her longer like she did with me."

Len snorted.

"Harsh much?"

"Anyway... what do you need us to do?"

...

I could have saved him.

...

"How did you convince them?" Len asked as he pointed to Caitlin and Cisco, dressed as Killer Frost (KF) and Vibe.

"Well, Caitlin and I just outvoted Cisco," Barry said.

Len shrugged.

"If something happens, I need you to know I love you," Barry said.

"Nothing's gonna happen, Barry."

He didn't see the sad look in Barry's eyes after he said that.

...

It's my fault he's dead.

...

"So, just kick and punch everyone. Got it?"

Caitlin and Cisco nodded.

Barry just frowned.

"Barry? Got something you want to share with the class?"

Barry looked up and realized all eyes were on him.

"Uh... no?" he said awkwardly.

Instead of pressing on it, Len just laughed. Soon, Caitlin and Cisco had joined in.

But Barry stayed silent.

...

He's not coming back, and it's all my fault.

...

When they charged into battle, Len was smiling.

They were going to win, easily. Even if they aimed right and hit someone, Barry could run them to the hospital.

Or so he thought.

...

I should have known.

...

There were maybe ten people.

His team was Barry, Cisco, Killer Frost, Mick, Lisa, and himself.

How could they lose to ten guys?

...

I shouldn't have assumed.

...

Lisa, Mick, and Len ran to one corner and tackled six of the attackers.

Cisco and Killer Frost (KF) ran to another corner and fought three.

Barry ran (not super) at the last one, pain in his expression.

Len ignored it.

Soon, he, Lisa, and Mick tied up their guys, as well as Cisco and KF.

But Barry was nowhere in sight.

"Flash?" Len called.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a bullet being fired.

He turned around in surprise.

There, standing in front of him, was Barry.

He was holding the bullet, tears in his eyes.

"I thought I lost you, Len," he smiled.

But his teeth were bloody.

Len looked down and realized there was a hole in Barry's shirt.

There was blood.

"Were you shot?" Len asked calmly.

Barry nodded slowly.

"Had to protect you, Lenny."

Len smiled as he pulled Barry close.

"You'll be fine."

Barry shook his head.

"No, I won't," he said as he collapsed.

"Barry!"

Len sat down in front of Barry, desperately trying to pull him to his feet.

"Len... I had to protect you. The first time..." He coughed. "you died. I couldn't save you. So I ran back in time. I tried to save you. Again..." Another cough. This time he spit blood. "I couldn't. Then I realized. Time wants to happen. If I was going to save you, I would have to take your place. So I did."

"Barry... why?" Len sobbed.

"Because I love you, Lenny."

"I love you too, Barry." Len watched as Barry smiled.

Then his head fell back, and Len watched the life leave his eyes.

"Barry!!!!"

...

It's my fault Barry is dead.
