Chapter 5 - Go Team Arrow 

A shrill alarm roused Felicity from a deep sleep, drowsily she grabbed her tablet to check the source.  

"Oh no!" Felicity froze in panic as she read the alert that someone was trying to breach the lair. Jumping up quickly, she grabbed her phone to call Oliver and Diggle just as it rang.  

With only a glance at the caller ID, Felicity spoke quickly as she answered it. "Diggle, the alarm-" 

"Yeah, Oliver is on the way. I'll be at your door in 5. Be careful." Diggle didn't even let Felicity complete the thought as he knew they needed action. 

"Okay, okay - you too." Felicity had been with Team Arrow enough to get the message and started moving quickly. 

Diggle and Felicity spoke little as he kept his eyes on the road to drive quickly and she was monitoring the lair for additional information. As they got to the club, Diggle finally spoke. "Stay behind me and stay close, not a word Felicity." 

Felicity gave a tense nod and followed Diggle in through a side entrance. They were making their way slowly to the security door when suddenly Diggle stopped and stared at the sight before him. 

Oliver stood tensely to one side while Roy and Thea sat dejectedly on nearby stools. 

Curiosity killing her, Felicity peaked around Diggle and laughed in nervous relief that there was no actual security breach. 

Oliver met her look darkly but said nothing. 

"Okay, enough, we, well, I just wanted to see the 'pantry'!" Thea grumbled. "I'm the one who should angry as you put your little clubhouse in my club!" 

The voice of reason as usual, Diggle stepped forward as he holstered his gun. "Better the kids have a supervised visit where we keep an eye on them than trying to breach Felicity's security again, right?" 

Thea looked hopefully at Oliver as Roy turned to look at Felicity as he started to realize just how much she contributed to the Team. 

"After you then." Oliver responded with a sigh. Allowing Diggle to enter the code and for Thea and Roy to enter behind him. He continued to wait until Felicity passed him to lean in and whisper. "Nice pjs Felicity." 

Until that moment Felicity hadn't realized that she still had on shorts and a thin camisole complete with Star Wars characters. Shooting him a dark look, Felicity's face turned red and she hurried down the stairs. She got to the bottom step just in time to see both Roy and Thea reach out for her computers. 

"Nooooo!" Felicity yelled as she ran forward. 

Only Diggle had seen the surprise and wonders on the both Roy's and Thea's faces on their first look at the "pantry" and now he chuckled outright as the sight of the blond IT girl standing protectively in front of her computers in her pajamas wasn't exactly threatening. Roy and Thea must have agreed as they only paused before both continued forward. 

"She said no. Felicity, go change your clothes. We'll keep the kids in check." Oliver commented and kept his eyes on the kids until Felicity's back was turned then he allowed his gaze to watch her go until she was out of sight. 

"What is all of this?" Thea asked in wonder as she continued to stand in front of Felicity's computers. Meanwhile, Roy had made his way to the weapons and even took notice of the training gear and mats. 

Felicity quickly reappeared in gym clothes just as one of her computers beeped loudly. 

Thea jumped back in surprise and quickly spoke as Felicity rushed her way. "I didn't do anything - really!"
