Felicity got out of bed and went into the bathroom, being sure to cover the black surrounding her eyes from lack of sleep so Oliver wouldn't be suspicious. Felicity drove to Q.C. and hopped on the elevator, making sure no one was around she let out a large yawn. When the elevator doors opened she walked straight towards her desk and slumps down pressing her cheek against her fist, leaning down on the desk. She looks through the glass wall separating her office from Oliver's and she can see him talking to Dig, he would glance at her quickly through the window. After the conversation between them goes on for all of ten minutes someone finally comes over to her. 

"Hey Dig, good morning." Diggle looks her straight in the eye for a while. "Felicity, are you okay You look terrible. And no offense but you kind of acting a little weird." Felicity rolled her eyes at him, "Thanks Dig, it really means a lot. Oliver told you to talk to me didn't he?" Dig looked like her was about to lie, but then Felicity gave him her signature death stare and he cracked. "Yeah, he did, but I'm still worried Felicity. You're my little sister." Felicity got a look in her eyes and she faced Oliver, looking at him through the wall, "Oliver, the walls are made of glass, I saw you and Dig talking, if your so worried why don't you come talk to me yourself?" Then she added after laughing quietly, "Unless you're not brave enough to be seen talking to your very overqualified secretary." Felicity saw Oliver laugh before turning back to Dig and turning on her computer. "You're crazy, you know that?" Diggle chuckled at her. "Yes I absolutely do know that, Dig."

Oliver walks into Felicity's office. "You are ridiculous. And you're not my secretary, your my EA" All three of them start to laugh. "So, are you okay?" Felicity look Oliver straight in the eye, "I am fine Oliver. Oliver looked at her skeptically, "No you're not." Oliver responded. "A little tired maybe." Felicity responded. Oliver looked like he was about to respond so Felicity cut in, "You have a meeting downstairs in five minutes, go!"Oliver looked like he was going to respond, but just turned and left.

Felicity once again was sitting in her chair, updating the firewalls she had made, when Sara walked down the stairs. Felicity was alone, Oliver was in his last meeting and Dig was with him, but she had the advantage down here, she new every inch of the Foundry. "Hi, Sara." Sara looked stunned by Felicity. That's when the conversation took a turn for the worse. Sara begins speaking in Arabic, so that their conversation stays theirs. "You know he's looking for you. He's sent someone here for you. Although, he also knows you haven't told anyone of your time with us, as one of us, Alat Hasiba" Felicity stares at her in disbelief and she starts talking back in Arabic, "I'd prefer you call me Nar. Only Ra's ever called me anything else. They, he, sent you to find me. Hasn't he?" Sara nods a quick and small yes. Felicity stops this motion with her hands. " I have paid my do's to the League. I owe them, him, nothing." Felicity stands up and walks over to Sara. "And if you somehow summon up the courage to come down here again and threaten me like that, trust me you will pay dearly for it." Before Felicity can finish her threat she heard the door unlock. Sara quickly whispers, once again in Arabic, "Scars never leave you Alat Hasiba" 

"What are you two talking about?" Oliver asks walking down the stairs. Sara quickly turns and gives him a smile while Felicity returns to her desk. "Nothing, Ollie." He and Dig eye them both suspiciously. Felicity felt someone staring at her and was silently starting to freak out when the crime alert went off. "Saved by the siren." She laughed in her head. Oliver took a look at the map and put on his suit, heading out with Sara and Dig.

"Oliver, turn right." Felicity said confidently. "Felicity, are you actually okay?" Oliver speaks in Russian knowing Sara and Dig can't understand them. Felicity separated Oliver's line from Dig's and Sara's. "Oliver, I'm fine. You're in the middle of a high-speed chase." Oliver sighs and Felicity see's an arrow fly through the air on a traffic camera. "Nice shot" she says reconnecting the lines. "Thanks." She could almost swear she saw him smile on the camera.

"S.C.P.D. just showed up on the scene and their taking him into custody." Felicity says as she turns around in her chair to see the three come down the stairs. Sara and Oliver change out of their costumes and meet Dig in the training area. 

"Felicity, you should head out." Oliver says as he looks over and notices her absorbed in her work. "Felicity?" He asks again when she doesn't look up. "Felicity!" He screams, bringing her out of her zone. "How many times have I told you NOT to do that Oliver?" she screams. "You are dead meat, Oliver." Diggle and Sara begin to laugh as soon as Dig says it. By the time Oliver had turned around and given the two a look that said stop and when he turned back Felicity was back to work. Oliver rolls his eyes and says, "Felicity, go home." Felicity gives him her death stare and he returns it with one of his own. "Not a chance, Oliver. You can't order me around." Oliver gives her a little smirk, "Technically, I am your boss." Felicity stares straight in his eyes, all three of them can see Oliver is pushing her over the edge, only Sara knew the real danger of that. "Technically, I got out of work four hours ago, so I don't have to listen to you. Now go back to your violence." Felicity turned back towards her computer and couldn't help smiling.

Once again Felicity didn't notice Sara or dig leaving. Oliver walked over to her and looked down at her hands brushing across the keyboard. Oliver notices a small cut on he hand and knew exactly where such a cut would come from. "How did you get that?" Oliver asks. Felicity looks up to see him standing right behind her looking down at her hands. Felicity quickly tries to put her hand down in her pocket,but Oliver stops her. "It was my fault, don't worry about it." Oliver looked down at her not believing her for a second. "This cut came from an arrow, Felicity. When did you get shot?" He asks her really calmly. She just nods her head no and says, "I didn't get shot, Oliver."  Oliver looks at her a little more sternly, "When and how did you get shot Felicity?" Felicity just pulled her hand out of Oliver's grip and grabbed her jacket before he can stop her, she shoves her hands in her pockets and heads towards the door. "Fe-li-ci-ty" He says slowly chasing after her, still surprised how easily she broke his grip. He tries to stop her but she just keeps walking towards her car. She gets in before he can protest and waves him goodbye before he can protest. Felicity quickly drives away from the Foundry, away from Verdant, and as far away as possible from Oliver. She doesn't know how he'll react to the truth.

Immediately after Felicity gets home she goes through her normal night routine. Felicity starts walking to the kitchen when she notices a figure on her couch. She reaches her hand for a knife that was on her counter when the figure suddenly turned around laughing. Her heart began to slow down quickly. She knew that laugh, it was Oliver. "And what, may I ask, Is so funny?" Oliver stood up to face her, "You think you can use a knife." Felicity looked like she was about to kill him anyways, "Stop, you lost the right to laugh in my living room when you broke in! Get out of my home!" Oliver slowly walks around the couch stopping at the window when he saw something. He ran his fingers over a small hole in the wall while Felicity walked over to the door and opened it, ready to let it hit him on his way out. "You said you didn't get shot?" He told her, but it sounded more like a question. "That is exactly what I said." Oliver could see the annoyed look on Felicity's face and thought he better not push his luck. He glanced around quickly to see if there were any arrows lying around. When Felicity closed the door behind him she let out a breath that she didn't even realize she was holding. 

Felicity quickly drank her drink and got into bed. She didn't think she would sleep, but she needed to lay down. Like Felicity though, she didn't, couldn't, wouldn't go to sleep. Her dreams, or nightmares, if she were to say what they are were haunting her. Ra's Al Ghul changed her, he made her who she is today. She shouldn't fear him, they were friends, of a kind at least. She was one of the most trusted and most talented assassins, not that that's something she should be proud of. All Felicity wanted to know is why Ra's took such an interest in her. Her brain wouldn't shut down and her eyes wouldn't close, so she just sat there, in the dark, staring up.
