Felicity al Ghul

Chapter 3

Felicity walked into her office with the same fake smile and tired look in her eye she had the day before. Except this time she saw Oliver standing behind her desk. "Good morning, Felicity. You're late." Felicity rolled her eyes and pushed Oliver out of the way so she could sit in her chair. "Maybe I've always been coming in late and you just always get here later." Felicity said turning on her computer. The tips of Oliver's mouth turned up slightly as Felicity turned around, "Oh. My. God. Is Oliver Queen, smiling?" She said sarcastically. "Let me guess, didn't get much sleep last night?" Felicity turned back towards her computer, "No, I didn't. You have a meeting in ten minutes downstairs with the head of I.T. I'd run if I were you." Oliver left without questioning why she was telling him to leave, or why she was so mad last night, or the hole in her wall that was left by an arrow.

That night Felicity got to the Foundry a little later than she usually did. She dreaded having to explain herself to Oliver, and Dig if Oliver told him. Felicity walked straight to her computers, not even noticing Dig, Sara and Oliver training. As soon as she sat back in her chair an alert popped up on the map. "Robbery at Starling National." All three of them looked up right when she started talking. "When did you get here?" Sara asked, being the first to speak. Felicity shrugged, "I don't know , a few minutes ago. Anyways, robbery, go." All  three of them laughed as Sara and Oliver went to change while Dig grabbed one of his guns. 

"They just left the bank, change directions, head left." Felicity saw Oliver's bike turn left while he said, "On it Felicity." Felicity kept switching from camera to camera following the robbers, "Oliver take a right then another left. Dig go straight. Sara, left then right. You're going to cut them off." The group of robbers pulled into a one way street, then Oliver came up in front of them, Dig came up behind them, and Sara came up on the side. The tall building on the opposite side left them trapped. Oliver sent an Arrow flying through the air and put a hole in the tires. Dig opened the door and Sara got into the van, knocking out the group one at a time. Then, Oliver shot them with an arrow to tie them up. Lastly, Felicity texted Lance the address of the criminals so that they could be arrested. 

Oliver, Dig, and Sara all came down the stairs with a look of pride on their faces. "Good job, Felicity." Sara said. Oliver headed to the bathroom and Dig put away his gun right before heading home. Felicity waved at him as he left and Sara turned to her. "You haven't told them your secret have you?" Sara asked. Felicity looked at her with her famous death stare, "No and neither will you. I am not going back. I have a life here in Starling."  Sara turned and left the Foundry when Oliver came out of the bathroom right after Sara had disappeared. 

Oliver started to beat up one of the training dummies while Felicity got absorbed in her world. About an hour later Oliver walked over to Felicity and tapped her on her shoulder. "Felicity, you should head home, get some sleep." Felicity looked over her shoulder, "I would rather not. But once again, feel free to head out." Oliver gave her a very concerned look. Felicity laughed, "This is me, noticing you staring. Go home Oliver." Oliver rolled his eyes, "I'm not leaving you here, not after you got attacked by the League. The only question is why?" Felicity froze at her computer, "How?" Felicity turned to face him. "It was really easy, actually. The cut on your hand came from an arrow, I've seen enough to know. When I was at your house yesterday I saw a whole in the wall by the window that was left by an arrow. You haven't been sleeping for the past few days, I can only guess that's why. My only question is, why would they attack you?" Felicity looked up at him. "I don't know Oliver, I honestly don't. Maybe I should go home though." Felicity stood up and reached for her keys, but Oliver grabbed them first. "You haven't slept. Even a crazy person wouldn't let you drive." Felicity smiled while she put on her jacket.

Felicity unlocked her door and was about to step in, but Olive stepped in front of her. "You're being really overprotective, Oliver. Now that I am safely at home, you can leave." Oliver looked at her in disbelief, "You really think I'm going to leave you here alone?" He asks. Felicity casts he purse to the side, "No, I don't. But, I think it would be even more uncomfortable if you were here. It was super nice of you to drive me here, but I really can't let you stay, Oliver." Felicity opened the door for Oliver. Oliver refused to leave for a while but he walked towards the door. Felicity was getting ready to close the door before he stopped, "Felicity, If anything happens-" Felicity smiled at him, "I'll call." Then Felicity closed the door.

Felicity sat down on her couch and turned on the T.V. She picked up the drink she had brought with her from the kitchen and leaned back, when she saw something out her window. There was a figure on the rooftop next to her building. Felicity grabbed her phone and called Oliver. He picked up before the first ring, if that was even possible. "Oliver, watching me from over there isn't making you seem any less creepy." She turned on the couch looking out the window. "How did you know it was me?" He asked. "A member of the League of Assassins would have attacked already. Go home, Oliver." Felicity saw the figure hop from rooftop to rooftop to where she assumes he was parked. Felicity shut her curtains and went to bed. Felicity actually managed to get an hour of sleep before her nightmares woke her up. "Being woken up is better then getting no sleep at all." She thought.
