Heaven In Hiding (Arrow Au)

Chapter 10

Author's POV

Oliver watched her drive away. His head was swimming with thoughts so much he thought a tsunami was raging inside his head. Rain battered down on him as the flames warmed his skin.

The fire continued to crackle as he limped over to Caitlin first. The noises of sirens from the city could be heard as it was early morning still. They wouldn't be there for another 30 minutes, but the group of friends would have disappeared by then.

The rain thundered down around them as he stumbled down beside her. "Cait-Caitlin c'mon!" He said and shook her. He grunted as he picked her up. His knee buckled slightly but he made it over to Cisco. He was knocked out and still bleeding. "No, Co, c'mon mate!" Oliver whispered and kicked him gently. When the man never moved he layed Caitlin down beside him so she was resting on his body.

Oliver made his way to Barry and knelt down. "Where's Caitlin?" He groaned and shook slightly. Oliver ripped every arrow from his body before helping him up. "Beside Cisco, he's bleeding bad, run him back to S.T.A.R Labs, now!" The Vigilante ordered as Barry ran for Cisco.

"I've got Cait, but Cisco needs help!" Oliver said and he nodded. He walked over to Caitlin and picked her up. "I'll meet you back there!" Oliver said. He got her in his arms almost perfectly and began to walk. He got to the car and walked to the back as the pouring rain killed the still blazing flames.

The orange embers made his skin glow a firey tint. His dull eyes trained on Caitlin as Barry ran his hands through her hair. Cisco was patched up and awake by now as he sat there with a coffee heating his clammy hands. "You ok?" Oliver asked as Barry carefully set Caitlin back down on the couch.

"I'm fine, but she's not!" He said as his eyes met Oliver's. They were dark, his voice was brooding and the pain was etched on his face. "Who were they Oliver? What did they want with us?" Barry asked as his voice became deeper. The anger he felt filling his body with adrenaline.

"I don't know Bear! But I tried, ok?" Oliver spat as he stood tall. "When you were on the ground, unable to move from the pain, I was fighting, Co was fighting and so was Cait!" He snapped and you could hear the faint wince Cisco produced. "I don't know who they are, but they will not be coming back!" He said and grabbed his jacket before heading for the door.

"Where you going? It's 3am!" Barry shouted as he walked over to him. "Out, got a problem with that?" His blue eyes were empty of emotion as he looked at Barry. "She was your responsibility, and you couldn't even protect your fiancé! What type of hero are you Barry?" Oliver asked as his voice wavered.

"You coulda lost her, and than what? Here's the thing Barry, you may have lost your mom, but I've lost family too! I've pushed them all away after Felicity and I'm watching you start to do the same!" Oliver looked at the pale body knocked out on the couch.

"You should have ran her out of there! As her husband, that was your job! You're not the Flash to her Barry, you're her partner in everything she could ever think of! So don't do it again, 'cause next time I might to be there to save her!" Oliver hissed and stormed out.

Snow crunched under his dark boots as the cool leather slipped over his arms. Angry breaths left his mouth as his hands were shoved into his pockets.

He should have saved her.

She could've been killed.

What was he thinking?

Thoughts swarmed his head as flashes of the fights erupted around him. The sight of Cisco hitting the floor, and then the girl he called a sister falling soon after. Oliver looked up to the sky and saw the clear dark blue above him. His eyes moved to the moon and admired the lighter blue surrounding the sphere.

Just like her eyes.

He smiled sadly and lowered his head as he started to walk again. The mystery woman clouded his mind as her small smile filled his mind's eye.

The rain started again as the snow below him melted from the cold, yet warmer liquid. The city stood tall as the lights flashed around him. The rain drops hit his face and rolled down the cold skin of his cheeks, the blue eyes covered with his eye lids.

"Why did you have to come back?" His voice was gentle, his back to her. "I wanted to check up on you, we nearly killed your group of friends!" Her voice replied.

Oliver turned around to be met with eyes the same colour as the sky. Felicity stood there with her black jeans and leather jacket tight against her skin. Her platinum blonde hair flowing freely as she kept the mask and voice modifier on.

Oliver chuckled dryly and nodded slightly. "You could say that! My friend is still out cold, she's with the boys now!" He replied and she nodded while chewing her bottom lip.

City used to do that

His thoughts unlocked at the back of his mind. A small, sad smile graced his lips. Maybe the reason he was calm with this woman was because she reminded him so much of Felicity. His Felicity.

"What's your name?" He asked and she shrugged. "No one!" She replied and he cracked a smile. "I'm Oliver, nice to meet you No One!" He smirked and she rolled her eyes.

City did that all the time

"Why are you here? That's the main question!" She whispered and he shrugged. "I walked out, he acts like I've never done a thing for him!" Oliver whispered back and sighed.

"You could do 99 things for someone but they will only ever remember the one thing you didn't do!" She replied and shrugged. "But he should remember! I've done so much since that day, he should be proud I've come this far!" The Vigilante looked down amd rubbed his hands together.
"Doesn't mean he isn't, Oliver, he may just be confused! We just came here, you had no time to prepare and he nearly died! I don't know exactly which person you are talking about but both men seemed in bad shape!" Oliver nodded at her and shrugged.

It was an addicting awkwardness that they both seemed to be craving. Oliver liked the memories she brought out of him, Felicity however, couldn't understand how a stranger she had just met seemed to hold her mind captive.

Oliver looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so familiar?" He asked and walked up to her. She took a step back and frowned slightly. "I don't know, but I know we have both never met!" She whispered and chewed her lip again. "You should get back, it is late!" She added and stepped back again.

"I should!" He nodded and flicked the collar if his jacket up to pretect his neck from the slight breeze. "I'll see you around Oliver!" She whispered before turning and walking away. Blue eyes followed the movements of the woman as she walked away.

"See you around City..."

Felicity's POV

"Where the hell have you been?" I rolled my eyes and flopped downnon the bed. "I'm talking to you Felicity!" Nyssa said and i groaned. "Ok mom I apologise was there something you needed?" I asked as I picked up my flask.

I took a long couple gulps of water and closed my eyes. My mind went foggy and I shook my head slightly. My eyes opened and a cloudy blue met dark browns. "What?" I asked and she raised an eyebrow. "Are you ok? You seem outa it?" She questioned and I nodded smiling slightly.

"Fine! I'm actually just gonna head to sleep? What about you two?" I asked and I took my mask from my face and set it in the drawer beside me. I took off my jacket and boots before sitting on the edge of the bed. "What happened out there?" Sara asked as she sat beside Nyssa.

"I don't know actually, what did happen?" I asked and both girls shrugged. "Doesn't matter, just go get changed for bed, we're leaving tomorrow, and never coming back!" Nyssa stated before turning off the lights and moving to the bed.

I nodded and took some clothes into the bathroom. As i was getting changed I noticed a bruise on my rib cage. Git hit pretty badly then? I though as I quickly put on the vest top and shorts. I turned off all the lights and made mt way to the seperate bed across the room.

"Go to sleep Felicity, big day tomorrow!" Sara whispered to me and I muttered a small 'Ok' before turning to face the moon. My eyes fluttered closed with one thought on my mind...

Why do those eyes mean something to me?
