Chapter Two: Smokey

"FELICITY!" Felicity's mother called for the fifth time. Felicity grumbled as she finally walked downstairs and into her living room. She saw her mother angrily attacking Felicity's laptop.

"Mom, Why are you attacking my computer?" She asked curiously.

Her mother turned to look at her daughter and gave a frustrated smile "Ah, Felicity, I was browsing my e-mail and all I did was click on this lovely ad where I could win a holiday by answering this very easy question and your computer went black!" She explained.

Felicity bit her lip "I'll fix it Mom, When I'm on a break at work" Felicity said shutting the laptop and stuffing it in her bag.

"When are we going to have some mother daughter time?" She asked.

"I promise, Tomorrow is my day off and we will go out and have some fun" Felicity replied.

Her mother sighed "Thats what you said every weekend since you moved here, But the same thing always happens, You make up some excuse where you have to work overtime" Her mother explained.

"Mom, This time I promise, I will not cancel" Felicity said giving her mom a kiss on the cheek goodbye.

Felicity then rushed off to the small Diner she worked at and quickly put her appron on and started to put some coffee onto boil. Henry the tall, dark and handsome man she worked with gave her a shifty look as he was cooking. He played the customers order and walked over to her.

"Your not on shift today...." He remarked.

"I've got nothing to do at home, I'd rather be here, Where I am busy" Felicity replied with a forced smile.

"You've got plenty, Why not go someplace with your mother? Or play a game on your laptop? Or see the sights?" Henry asked as he left the kitchen to give the plate to a customer.

Felicity would never tell him or her mother why she went to work so much. The truth is she wanted to make herself so busy she wouldn't have to think about how much danger Oliver and Roy were in. Or how John Diggle would feel if Lyla was accidentally killed on an A.R.G.U.S mission. She was normal. That's all she wanted to think about now.

Roy Harper entered his new home. An asylum. Oliver had told the Asylum that Roy was very much insane and had a terrible temper. All weren't true but it was enough to get him admitted. Roy was given a white t-shirt and white trousers and was put into some sort of recreational room.

It was a place for fellow admitants to talk and also to play board games and chess to ease their boredom. Roy looked around the room wondering who to speak to first. There was an old man leaning beside a post sitting on the floor rocking back in forth muttering 'Dolly' over and over again. There was a middle aged blonde woman who was flirting with a security guard which simply ignored her.

Roy settled in talking to one off the youngest looking of the inmates. She looked of similar age to him and was sitting on a white chair next to a window. There was a table in front of her with a book on it. Roy walked over and sat on a chair opposite her. She looked at him and then back at the window and began to smile.

"New here?" She asked as she watched the rain hit the window making it sound like tacos were being thrown constantly at the window.

Roy nodded "Yeah, Never been to one of these places before" He replied.

"You will adjust, I was only admitted my first time last year so, We are both adjusting" She said looking at him with a small smile.

"Whats your name?" She asked with a sickly sweet smile.

Roy couldn't help but smile back "Roy" He said. "Whats yours?" He asked.

"I think I'll wait a bit before telling you, Add some mystery to this already mysterious place. "

Roy frowned slightly "why'd you say that?" He asked.

"Well I assume you've heard of the murders?" She told him.

"Well, I haven't" He lied wondering if she would give him more information.

She sighed and leaned forward onto the table and spoke in a hushed tone. "Well, Every Friday for the past month a patient has been murdered brutally and hung in the hall" She told him scanning his face for a reaction.

Roy acted surprised "They haven't closed the place down yet?" He asked.

"No, No one cares about the crazies" She told him leaning back in her seat and looking at him properly.

"You are just in time for the annual dance" She added changing the subject of conversation.

"What annual dance?" Roy asked frowning again.

"Every year they throw a little party of sorts in here for the patients, Staff donate dresses and suits so you can dress up and have some fun, The dance is on Friday" She told him smiling.

"Do you have to go?" Roy said making a face similar to a dog that's been told it must go to the vets.

"Come on Roy.." She said standing up. "Be less of a spoil sport, I'm still looking for a date" She said smiling bigger and Roy returned it as she began to walk off.

"I still don't know your name" Roy called.

She turned to him while she was walked off "I know!"

Ruby hung up the phone and gave an anger sigh "Bitter old woman" She growled. She heard a laugh as she turned to see it belonged to Wally.

"I see, You talked to Mrs Elmer again" Wally said as he walked over to her.

"I needed her to drop Smokey off here before we go to bed" Ruby said looking at Wally's green eyes.

Wally sighed seeing Ruby look miserable. She hadn't smiled genuinely in three years. What happened with Felicity, Milla and Richard had broke her. He really worried about her. "Whats the matter?" Wally asked.

Ruby bit her lip and touched his shoulder "I'm fine, Just give me a hug" She said pulling him into a hug. Wally wrapped her arms around her.

"Has something happened to Smokey? What's the matter?" Wally asked pulling away and forcing her to look at him. He would love to sit and hug her but he knew something was up.

"She's fine, I'm fine, Just drop it" Ruby replied looking at the floor. Before Wally could speak the front door behind them clicked open.

Ruby turned and saw Mrs Elmer standing there with a small dark haired girl. "Megan" Ruby said smiling and looked at Mrs Elmer. The woman was in a sweat her hands shaking.

Ruby could tell something was up so could Wally. "Smokey" Ruby said looking at Megan "Come here" Ruby said.

"Mum, I hate that nickname" Megan said as she walked over. Ruby crouched down and hugged Megan tightly.

"Oh, Mummy?" Megan said.

Ruby pulled away looking at Mrs Elmer and then at Megan "Yes doll?" She asked her own hands shaking in fear since she didn't know why Mrs Elmer was so nervous.

"A man is here to visit you, He says his name is Richard" Megan explained. Ruby pulled Megan into her arms holding her tightly. She looked at the door and he revealed himself. A gun was pointed into Mrs Elmer's back and A tall man with dark hair in a black long coat stood there smiling. "Honey, I'm home!"
