Chapter 8 - Someone's In The Water

3rd Person POV (Oliver and Felicity) 

Oliver was standing on top of a building as the Green Arrow, watching over the city below him at night

Then, an ear-splitting scream pulls his attention behind him to the the water

He scans the water for the source of the scream

It sounded like a girl...but it didn't sound like english. But all he could hear was distress and he knew he needed to help

"Felicity, I need eyes on the water." Oliver says through his comms

"The water?" Felicity's voice asks

"Someone's in the water!" Oliver says. "It's dark. Get me eyes."

He shoots an arrow to the building below him and ziplines down to the ground, running to the docks of Star City Coast

He looks around, scanning the water and the screams get louder

Oliver lifts his hand to his comms

"Felicity, I really need those eyes." Oliver says

"You're gonna need to take a boat." Felicity says. "Whatever I'm picking up on the radar is really far out there."

Oliver looks around and then jumps into a speedboat -- no one was around this late at night. He jumps in and starts the motor, speeding out to sea

The night was dark and cold, the water was rough from the storm that took place earlier in the day

The waves rock the boat and Oliver grabs onto the sides to keep him steady

"Wait, wait, wait, stop!" Felicity tells him

Oliver slows the boat to a stop

"What's wrong?" Oliver asks. "What is it?"

"Your location is on top of the person." Felicity tells him. "They must have gone under! I'm on my way. Oliver you have to get them out quickly! The water is negative 5 degrees."

Oliver looks over the side of the boat, scanning the water. He can't see anything -- it's too dark

"What happens if I don't get them out in time?" Oliver asks

"Aside from them drowning?" Felicity says. "Permanent brain damage from hypothermia."

He looks over the other side of the boat

Through the dark water, he sees a pale hand

Oliver tosses his bow and jacket to the side along with his mask and quiver he pulls off of his back. He takes his shoes off before diving into the water

He swims through the freezing water. He can tell he's getting closer as blonde hair comes into view. Oliver grabs the hand of the person and pulls them up to the surface of the water. He treads water, swimming with his free hand, the other hand holding the body. He leans on his back in the water, trying to keep the person's face above as he pulls himself in backstroke style back to the boat through the rough waves. The body slips slightly from Oliver's grasp but he regains his grip quickly 

Oliver grabs onto the side of the boat and shoulders the body, tossing the person over the side of the boat

He pulls himself up into the boat, coughs out water, and looks down

It's a...

"Felicity!" Oliver exclaims. "Felicity, it's a girl! It's a kid!"

"Make sure she's breathing! Get to the docks." Felicity says through the comms. "I'm almost there."
