Promise Me?

Roy Harper

*Roy POV*

It was really hard on Roy to lose Oliver. Many didn't notice but Oliver was like an older brother for him. Roy respected him and needed him in his life even though he didn't realize it until Oliver was gone.

Since Oliver's "death", Roy would go to Verdant to train, but it wasn't the same. Every once in a while he would go out and stop some bad people but he didn't have Oliver standing next to him. He couldn't do it without Oliver. He hated to admit it but he needed Oliver.

Roy decided to go to the liar one last time to try and let go of Oliver so he could move on. As he walked downstairs he heard quiet sobs and whimpers, and as he reached the bottom step he saw Felicity all curled up next to the glass case. His heart broke. Felicity was one of the kindest people in the world and losing Oliver had hit her awfully. He knew he had to comfort her but was at a lose of words.

After waiting a few minutes he approached her carefully and put his hand on her shoulder. "Felicity are you ok" he asked as she looked up at him with a confused look and a tear stained face. She started to cry uncontrollably as she murmured something he didn't quite catch.

He kneeled by her and hugged her until her sobs didn't bounce off of the walls. He held her and rocked her back and forth hoping she would lessen her cries. When she did he picked her up and said "let me take you home".

She started to shake her head but he refused and picked her up and took her to her car. He got in and drove off towards her apartment. She stayed in the passengers seat quietly curled up.

Once they arrived Roy noticed she had fallen asleep. He picked her up and took her to her apartment, opened the door and left her on her bed wrapped up in her blankets. Before he left, he left her a quick note so she wouldn't worry.

" Felicity, you were tired and fell asleep in your car.
I brought you home and laid you down to sleep.
Please call me if you need anything" - Roy

He quielty left her car and apartment keys next to the note as he locked up with her hidden key, under the mat, and left.

As he walked past her building he heard a shirl scream. He looked up and ran towards the sound without thinking.

It was a girl, around 19. She was being harrased by two men. The girl had her hands tied behind her back and she couldn't loosen the bonds. Roy ran foward and punched one of the men. As he staggered back, Roy punched the other.

The girl stopped screaming behind Roy but just started to whimper. She looked a lot like Thea. But as Roy turned to look at her one of the men came back and punched him knocking him down.

*POV Thea*

Oliver disappeared for some strange reason and never called. Thea called him multiple times and he never answered. Thea needed to see something concrete so she decided to go see his grave, the one by her old house. She just thought it would make her feel better.

As she headed towards the graveyard she was assaulted from behind. Her instinct kicked in and as she fought back. Her training with Malcolm kicked in but she was somehow overpowered. She suddenly felt a sharp prick on her neck. She hadn't been fast enough, she was distracted and now she felt the world slip away.
