I'll Remember

Chapter 11

"Are you guys okay?" Diggle asked as Oliver and Felicity walked into the Foundry. "We called and you didn't pick up," Roy explained. Felicity ignored them and sat down in front of her computers. Roy and Diggle's eyes followed Felicity as she sat down. They looked at Oliver for explanation. "Copycat archer nearly killed her," Oliver said. "I thought there were no more copycat vigilantes," Diggle was confused. "These ones weren't trying to destroy the city. They wanted to know who the Arrow is," Oliver explained. "Oh," Roy answered.

"You didn't tell him, did you?" asked Diggle. "No. I told him the Arrow was Malcolm Merlyn," Oliver said, looking over at Felicity. "Wait, isn't Merlyn dead?" Diggle said. "We don't know if he is or isn't alive. Merlyn's good at covering his tracks. Even if he is alive, he won't know that I framed him," Oliver said. "Really? Oliver, Merlyn is a dangerous man and anyone of those people might work for him. Merlyn's a clever man. He could already know," Dig said. "And if he does?" Roy asked. "Then, Oliver and Felicity are in trouble," Diggle said. Felicity sighed.

"Felicity, I'm so sorry," Oliver walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "I couldn't lose you. But, by trying to protect you, I just put you in more danger," "This is not your fault," "Yes, it is. I should have been more careful and thought about the consequences," Oliver said quietly. "Oliver. You were worried about Felicity because you love her. There's no fault in that," Diggle said to Oliver. "I put her in danger, Diggle. And I can't very well protect her considering Merlyn's almost killed me twice!" Oliver was mad because he felt helpless. "Oliver! Don't worry about me, worry about yourself," Felicity shouted over him. "What? Why?" Oliver asked. "Because," Felicity stood up and walked towards him. "You haven't been sleeping ever since Slade and his Mirakuru army, which was 7 months ago. Oliver, you keep going out into the field without your head on straight and your eyes closed. That's more dangerous than Merlyn. Please, go home," Felicity nodded towards the stairs. Oliver sighed and went up the stairs.
