3rd Person POV 

5 weeks later...

Brooklyn and Sara spar on the mat with bow staffs in the early morning, both girls with their hair braided. Sara wears leggings and a sports bra whereas Brooklyn wears leggings and a jacket 

Dig was watching -- him and Brooklyn had met last week when he found her on the salmon ladder. After quickly calling Oliver, Oliver had made his way over to explain the whole situation to Dig. Even though Brooklyn did not like it, the circle of people who now knew of her existence was expanding...but this time for the better 

The young girl had managed to steal the hearts of everyone on Team Arrow

Dig leans against the table quietly, watching the two girls spar 

Oliver and Felicity walk in, Felicity with a drink in her hands. The two make their way down the stairs and quietly over to the table where Dig is standing 

They stop and watch as the girls continue to spar

"She's doing great." Oliver says. "She's adjusting well, doing a lot better at English. I mean, I think she's done an amazing job at reinventing herself."

"She has." Felicity says, leaning against the table. "But just remember, Oliver, she's a genius, not a vigilante."

"She could be both." Oliver says 

Felicity and Oliver had found out that Brooklyn was a genius in a few ways. One, through Brooklyn's elaborate story of how she escaped the sex trade ship she was being held captive on -- most of that story was translated. The other way they found out she was a genius was by her excellence at math, computer science, hacking, and her love for theories. Brooklyn had explained that her father trained her and her brother to be ready for anything and had them training their brains from a young age

Brooklyn's memory, however, was what impressed Felicity the most. It was almost like she had a photographic memory. She could remember details of things in her life from an early age. Hyperthymesia was what Felicity had looked into about her memory and she bounced the idea off of Brooklyn to see what she thought about it. Brooklyn had denied having a good memory at first, but Felicity secretly tested Brooklyn by showing her something one day and then asking her about it the following week and repeating this process with different subjects over a few weeks. Felicity also tested Brooklyn's memory by having her and Oliver blind spar. Brooklyn could pick up on things quickly. The only problem? As fast as she picked things up she also got distracted very quickly by her hyper activeness 

Two Weeks Ago....

Oliver and Brooklyn are training with tennis balls again

Brooklyn stands a few feet in front of Oliver and he stands at a table behind her. A box of tennis balls is on the table. Brooklyn has a bow  -- her own bow -- in hand and her quiver on her back. The arrows in the quiver were ones that Brooklyn made -- another way that her genius was discovered for her ability to comprehend blue prints easily -- were purple, which apparently was her favorite color 

Brooklyn's bow rests at her side 

"Ready." Oliver orders 

Brooklyn lifts her bow, pulls an arrow out and nocks the bow, all in one swift motion 

Brooklyn trains her eyes on the wall in front of her 

Felicity watches as Oliver throws a ball and Brooklyn shoots an arrow through it, lodging the ball into the wall 

Brooklyn smiles 

"Again." Oliver says 

The same process happens
