“ | This can't be a coincidence. There... there has to be a reason behind this, which means that someone is responsible. We need to know who... hey, can you... can you not do that? Man, what a total Freaky Friday. No, wait, we didn't switch bodies. It's more of a Quantum Leap. Where's a mirror? Focus, just for a second, and take this seriously because the world thinks that you're Oliver Queen and that I'm Barry Allen, and I would really like to know why. |
