Twisted Angel

Chapter 7

 I watch with a frown as Roy and Oliver are hitting each other with the bamboo sticks. "You aren't moving very quickly this morning," Oliver notes.

"I didn't get much sleep last night," Roy mutters. I frown again. Roy hasn't been sleeping much lately. I'm still staying at his house and I don't notice him actually sleep a lot. Although I don't sleep much either so I can't judge. Roy frowns again and Oliver flips him on his back.

"Fantastic," I grin. "My turn!" Oliver frowns and shakes his head. "Coward," I grumble. Oliver sighs and heads out. "Where are you going, you coward?"

"Thea invited me to some house or something," Oliver says quickly leaving.

Roy and I train for a little while until the lights flicker and the computers spark. Roy grabs me and pulls me away from the computers. A disembodied voice comes from the computer and I frown. There is a long threat that I pay attention to and the lights flitter back on. I look at Roy over my shoulder and frown.

"How much do you wanna bet the others get here at the same time?" I grin. Roy shakes his head and smiles. They all come in at the same time and immediately start chatting about how to solve this. I don't say anything since this isn't my field. The computers start talking again and I frown as they threaten the banks.

"What is going on?" I ask as the computer beeps again.

"SCPD just sent an ESU squad to Starling General," Felicity says with a frown. Oliver and Roy sprint out the door immediately and I wait with Felicity while she figures out how to stop the virus.

"I can't stop the virus," Felicity says with a frown.

"Why not?" I ask quickly.

"Because I created it," Felicity says quietly.

"Heh?"

"It's a long story," Felicity says, her voice getting even smaller. I hug her silently until Roy and Oliver get back. Felicity immediately starts rambling and I quietly sneak out.

"Where are you going?" Roy asks.

"I have a feeling I will be more in the way then actually helpful right now," I shrug. "You will be useful though so shoo. I'll be at the house, or might take a job nearby for a couple days so you can focus," I smile and shrug.

"You're really gonna leave, in the middle of a cyber attack?" Red asks quietly.

"Well the thing about cyber attacks is that stabbing a computer doesn't actually help other than piss off Felicity, so yeah, I figure I should probably get out of your way," I spin on my heel and walk away.

I relax on the couch and frown as I get a call from Roy. "What? Is Oliver dying again?" I ask with a grin.

"We need some help," Oliver says.

"Why? Do you need me to stab a computer?"

"You know computers. I need you to help find Felicity," Oliver frowns. I sit up in a panic.

"Isn't she in the foundry?" I ask with wide eyes.

"She's been MIA for more than an hour. I'm worried," Oliver sighs. I grumble as I get up and hurry out the door.

"I'm on my way," I make it to the foundry in record time.

I slide into Felicity's chair and start looking for her GPS signal. "Felicity, where are you?" I mutter. A GPS signal appears and I grin. "Found you. Oliver! I got her!" Oliver immediately grabs his bow and I grab my swords.

"I thought you wouldn't be helpful?"

"It's Felicity. I've grown attached," I shrug and throw my hood on.
