DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything Arrow or DC or CW. But, it's so nice to play with thier characters. This is purely and soley for non-monetary entertainment purposes.

Title: Nights in the Foundry (Pre & Post "Sara")

Summary: A compilation of Down-Time activities. It didn't start out as anything organized. Someone would start a conversation and then one thing lead another and they soon found themselves enjoying quieter nights together. Here is what I think makes them friends; not just partners.

Warning: Draft. Warning: Spoilers. Warning: Olicity. Warning: IT'S SO FLUFFY! You've been warned.

Hacky Sack

Roy paces the Foundry; bored. Nothing was happening. Felicity was delicately typing while John was working on some equipment upgrades. Oliver was out on a very un-exciting patrol.

"What do you guys do when you're bored?" Roy loudlykills the silence with no regrets.

John & Felicity both turn slowly from different side to stare at Roy and he is suddenly very uncomfortable. So, ok, maybe some regrets. Wow, their eyes are piercing.

Digg and Felicity share a look Roy is still learning to interpret thier Eye Language. Digg reaches behind him into a small drawer and with a flick of his wrist something goes whizzing in a high arc towards felicity who is already standing. She brings her foot up and her knee goes out and she catches the ball with the instep of her foot and then stands there.

Roy catches on and a huge smile spreads on his face; "you guys play hacky sack?!" He looks back and forth between John and Felicity.

"I'm a geek , Roy" Felicity says with pride. She begins to bounce the ball back and forth from one knee to the next; very casually just warming up. She expertly kicks it to Digg who does not look like the kinda guy who has quick moves but he holds his own with the little bean bag.

The night continues with Felicity and Digg teaching Roy some tricks. It's been years, but Felicity is still really good. Even in heels she is nimble and alot of her natural clumsiness seems to evaporate. The rooms fills with laughter as the little bean bag hops from person to person. Jokes are shared; Digg commenting on her entry into 'the geek Olympics'. Felicity jokes about the two forms of geek workouts; running from bullies and 'mad knee skills'.

Diggle's shares stories of how he got so good. There was apparently alot of boring times when at war. Diggle shakes off his rust and bounces his large frame expertly showing off some of the tricks he learned.

At some point in the conversation Oliver has arrived unobserved and just leans on the stair railing to enjoy watching Felicity's knees and appreciate the way her flowwy skirt bounces.

Diggle kicks the sack back to Felicity and she pops the hackie sack higher up in the air with her ankle behind her and then lets the ball roll down the entire length of her body until she expertly bounced it back up in the air with her other knee in front of her. Roy; "wow, that was hot!" to which Diggle laughs. Felicity tries to continue, but looses her concentration and the ball falls to the ground rolling towards the stairs.

Oliver steps forward letting his presence be known. He picks up the ball and looks at it for second. He thinks to himself he's never wanted to be an inanimate object more in his life. He looks up and smiles at his team; "so, this is what you do when I'm away?"

Then Felicity's computer beeps and it's back to work.

o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^

Hope you like this so far. More to come. Your comments and suggestions are encouraged. The good, the bad, the meeh.
