A/N- I've always found Authors Notes annoying so I'll make this short. Felicity has always, in my opinion, been the best character on Arrow. She's always been somewhat relate able and normal. However, I also always wondered if she was different. Felicity never talks about her past so I decided to come up with one I know will never happen, but would change her story. What could the League have done that produced our favorite blonde? (No offence Sara.)

Felicity was sitting calmly behind her screen. Dig, however, was pacing behind her. Oliver was late, again, Felicity came to expect and prepare for it. Felicity looked up from her computer where she was updating the firewalls protecting everything in the foundry. "Dig, He's fine. Stop pacing, it's distracting!" Dig looked back at her with a annoyed expression. "How can you say that?" Felicity let out a small laugh, "You forgot, we're talking about Oliver Queen," Then out of nowhere the two hear the lock click, "Speak of the devil." Mumbles Felicity. At that moment the two notice a blond women wearing a black mask. 

Felicity looks up at John and saw his smile turn to a frown as she turned back to face her computers. "Oliver are you cra..." Oliver cuts Dig off mid-sentence, "Felicity, Dig this is Sara." Dig stared at Oliver with an expression between anger and surprise, Felicity didn't move. Then out of nowhere Sara began to speak, "I know you guys must have a lot of questions." Sara sat down an began to stare into nothing while both Oliver and Dig looked at her waiting for her story.

I had been puled under after the ship went down. I was unconscious, I don't how long I was out and I didn't really remember what happened. That's when I saw a boat, I started waving my hand frantically with as much energy as I possibly could to whoever was on the boat. I was so relieved when it finally turned my way. I struggled to keep my eyes open when I felt a hand grab me a pull me on the boat. The woman introduced herself as Nyssa, heir to the demon. She took me to her home, everyone calls it Nanda Parbat. Once we got to Nanda Parbat Ra's Al Ghul inducted me into the League of Assassins. That's where I have been.

During the Sara's story Oliver's eyes kept going over to where Felicity was sitting in front of her computer. Felicity could feel his stare but still didn't look up from the program she was creating. She was barely even paying attention until Sara mentioned Nyssa. Felicity thought she was jumping to conclusions. But soon afterwards she heard Sara say Ra's Al Ghul and Nanda Parbat. Finally one last thought was with Felicity, the last words Ra's Al Ghul said to her, "You can try escaping your past but it is the one thing you can never outrun." The saying still caused the hair on the back of her head to stand up. Felicity was so caught up in her own world she didn't realize Sara had finished her story, she didn't realize the three-way sparring match that was going on between Dig, Oliver, and Sara, Felicity didn't realize Dig left, or that Sara left soon afterwards. All she noticed was when Oliver tapped on her shoulder bringing her out of her trance. 

"Oliver!" she screamed surprised. He laughed at her and she felt herself starting to blush. "You should head out, Felicity."

"I was actually going to stay here and finish this, you can leave though, I'll be fine." She responded. She felt Oliver grab her hand and pull her up, "You are leaving, Miss Smoak. Felicity rolled her eyes then grabbed her jacket and purse from the table. "Fine." Felicity walked out of the Foundry and got into her small car to drive home and waved goodbye to Oliver.

Felicity unlocked the door to her house and everything seemed normal. She went into her bathroom, took a shower, dried her hair, wrapped a towel around herself and went into her bedroom where she threw on a black tank top and red sweatpants. She went into her kitchen and warmed up some water for hot chocolate. When she went to sit on the couch she felt someone watching her, then, just in time she caught an arrow flying towards her head. Felicity pulled of the small paper which was written in Arabic. "Language of the League" She thought. the note said,

  "You can try escaping your past but it is the one thing you can never outrun. We're coming, and you will not slip out of our hands this time."

Felicity stared at the note in horror. "Sara brought this here, I know it." she thought.Felicity shut the window when another arrow came just barely skimming the top of her hand. She grabbed the arrow out of he windowsill and locked the window, "As if that would keep the League of Assassins out, It's their job to find a way in and a way out. She would know better then anyone." She pushed that thought as far back in her mind as she could. She grabbed her hot chocolate from the kitchen sat down on her couch. She tried to calm down but that feeling that someone was watching her it never ended. For once in a very long time, she was paying to the whole world around her. Usually she gets lost in the T.V. or the seemingly endless programs she codes. She grabbed her tablet and pulled it onto her lap and began to work on her firewalls again. All Felicity could think about was the words Ra's had left her with the night she left, no, the night she was released. He held no control over her anymore. Felicity brushed her teeth and went to bed. However, she couldn't bring herself to close her eyes, all she could to was stare at the ceiling until her alarm went off and she had to get ready for work.
