Felicity flashed in and out of consciousness and was only partly aware of the fact that she was being dragged along the ground.

1 Year Ago

Felicity was staring down at her desk with her hands on her keyboard. She was more staring at her wrists which were covered by her sweater. She was surprised that she made it this long without anyone seeing the bruises. Dig and Sara would be fine with it, but Oliver would go into self deprivation mode and the group did not need that right now. So, she was hiding them beneath sweaters and bracelets.

The league was  in town looking for Sara, they no doubt already knew where she was. They were also after her for something apparently. They probably knew that she knew where Sara was. Felicity absolutely didn't need all these problems right now. On top of it all, she was shot. With an arrow. By the League of Assassins.

Felicity took her hands of the keyboard, put her elbow on the desk in front of it, and leaned her head against her hand. She was tired and it was around lunchtime and she hadn't remembered to eat dinner last night or breakfast this morning, so she was starving. And now she had a headache because she was thinking to much about how screwed up her life has gotten. Lastly, now is obviously the perfect time for Oliver to get back from his meeting.

"You okay?" Dig asked from behind Oliver.

Felicity looked up at the two, "Depends, do you have food?" She answered.Oliver laughed while Dig put a bag of food from Big Belly Burger down on Felicity's desk. "You two are the best." Felicity said while grabbing the bag.

The elevator bell rang signalling someones arrival and Isabel Rochev walked out as soon as the doors opened. Oliver and Dig, having turned to face the elevator, were met with Isabel's first snarky comment. 

"How touching, you three eat lunch together now." Isabel remarked.

Felicity rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair. "Ms. Rochev, for the third time, your meeting is at 1:00. As in just under an hour from now."

"I will not have an employee of mine being so very disrespectful, Ms. Smoak."

"This seems to be the exact conversation we had the last two times you came up here. So, I will tell you once again, I work for Oliver, not you. And Mr. Queen was about to go on his lunch break." Felicity gave Isabel the most fake smile she could force and waved Isabel out the door. Isabel stomped away with an angry look on her face and the three broke out laughing as soon as the elevator doors closed behind her.

"Well done Ms. Smoak." Dig said before while grabbing his own food out of the bag Felicity had put down. 

"You know that hour you usually spend being late?" Felicity asked Oliver. "Isabel comes up here almost every day to torment me. I've gotten pretty good at telling her not very politely to leave."

"I'm impressed." Oliver said while taking his food from the bag. "So, how's your shoulder?"

Dig chuckled and Felicity rolled her eyes. "Very subtle. If you really want to know, annoying." Felicity answered.

"Must say I was expecting something more along the lines of painful." Oliver added.

Felicity just shrugged her uninjured shoulder. "You have a meeting with Isabel in just under an hour, by the way." Felicity said with an evil smirk.

Oliver just sighed before Felicity added, "Are you guys just going to stand there and eat?"

"No, apparently I have a meeting to prepare for." Oliver stated before heading back to his office.

"I'm cool with just standing here, it's my job." Dig said causing both him and Felicity to laugh before the two finished their lunch in comfortable silence.

Later that night, Oliver and Felicity were sitting in the foundry together. Dig was off doing something with Lyla.  Sara was with Laurel because they knew the league was after. And Oliver like every other time he went out on the streets, got injured. That left Felicity to patch him up, like always. 

"Well, wasn't that fun?" Felicity asked as she fell back into her chair. 

Oliver groaned as he stood up before commenting, "Yeah, the best. You can head out. I'm going to call it a night."

"Aw, you think I would've let you go back out." Felicity teased and Oliver rolled his eyes. 

"I should check your shoulder." Oliver commented as Felicity turned back towards her computer. "And also, how are you wearing a sweater. It's really hot down here."

"I'm always cold." Felicity shrugged her uninjured shoulder.

Oliver gave her a look and she walked over to the metal table. She sat down on top of it and pulled her sweater down to her wrists. Oliver began to unwrap the bandage on her shoulder. The stitched seemed to be all intact. As a matter of fact, the wound seemed to be healing faster then he thought. But that wasn't what he was paying attention to.

"What happened to your wrists?" Oliver asked, although he had a feeling he already knew and the guilt was beginning too creep in.

"Hmm?" Felicity had zoned out so much she didn't notice that he sweater had slipped lower on her wrists so that Oliver could see a small part of the bruises she had. Of course he'd notice. "Nothing."

"It happened during my nightmare didn't it." Here comes self deprivation mode. Felicity couldn't just lie to him.

"Yeah." She answered in the smallest voice. 

Oliver put his head in his hands before saying the usual, "I'm sorry, this is my fault."

Felicity rolled her eyes because she knew he couldn't see her. "It's not your fault Oliver. Calm down, I'm fine. You're fine. But you blaming yourself isn't going to help anyone."

"But.." Oliver started and Felicity cut him off. 

"I'm going home, and if you apologize to me once for this tomorrow, I will slap you." Felicity said with a smile before grabbing her bag and leaving.

During Felicity's last flash in and out of consciousness  before she officially passed out,  she noticed a little cabin that she was apparently been dragged to and heard whoever was dragging her knocking on the door.
