Summary
You were the best but you were the worst
As sick as it sounds, I loved you first
I was a dick, it is what it is
A habit to kick, the age-old curse
I tend to laugh whenever I'm sad
Stare at the crash, it actually works
Making amends, this shit never ends
I love you, I’m sorryOr
Nyssa getting the news.

Summary
On a different Earth, our beloved characters take on different obstacles, face different decisions. On Earth-27, one such decision is one Laurel Lance makes. Instead of being left behind while Oliver Queen, her boyfriend, went to China on the Gambit, she decides to surprise him by sneaking on board.
At the same time, Oliver was trying to convince Laurel's younger sister, Sara, to be the one to join him on the yacht trip. Oliver decides to just forgo the yacht after Sara declined to go with him, and would fly to China the closer his father got and would return with him on the boat. Following what happens on most Earths, the Gambit sinks, and Robert Queen and Laurel Lance are believed to be dead.

Summary
What good was any of this, really, if they wouldn’t save all of the people they could? What good was Barry’s speed if he wouldn’t use it to save people he cared about, just because it could end badly? He’d saved so many strangers, so many people who would never know his name. But not his mother. Not Ronnie. Not Laurel. He hadn’t saved the people who mattered most.
And what good were Cisco’s powers when he hadn’t seen anything? When he hadn’t seen the attack coming, hadn’t been able to warn Laurel, or to protect one of the people he’d cared for so much?
