This was his fault, how could he make this right?! Ignoring the mean guy, Raiden moved closer to where Barry had sat down and put a hand tentatively on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Barry, I'm really really sorry, this is all my fault," he whimpered, trying to think. 'I'm sorry' wasn't exactly going to cut it, in this situation. What could he do? "If you want... you can be my cousin. I'd be happy to have you as a cousin, you're a very nice person."
He attempted a little smile.
"Would that be okay?"
"It isn`t your fault Raiden you have to stop blaming yourself for these things" said Barry forcing a half smile on his face he said "Take a party hat were supposed to be enjoying ourselves not crying or being sad" then he said "I have many more and its ok I`m sure this will be over with soon and it can go back like it used to be. But if you want to be cousins it could be fun." he said thinking about fun times he had with Jason. There actually wasn`t alot he now realized but they were there he added in a whisper "Be careful we don`t want you getting hurt"
