Oliver Queen is heading back to the apartment after having no luck in finding Dhark today. He tried demanding answers from his Ghosts but each and every one of them would kill themselves before answering. Diggle got injured in one of the missions today even after he promised Lyla he would take a break and spend some time with his daughter and his brother Andy whom he accepted into his home again. They would still keep an eye on Andy just in case he tries to do anything funny that would cause the team's lives. They still don't trust him. Oliver still felt bad about what happened to Amanda Waller. She might have been an arrogant and cold-hearted woman, but she still didn't deserve to get killed. She was only trying to protect A. R. G. U. S. which the team succeeded for her after she got shot in the head. Felicity gave Oliver a call this afternoon, telling him that she just returned from work after an exhausting board meeting and needed a hot bubble bath but needs Oliver to help her carry her up the stairs. She also gave a suggestion of installing a stair lift instead of having Oliver carrying her every time she has to go up and down the stairs.
To give her a nice surprise, Oliver bought her favourite deli from Big Belly Burgers. It has been awhile since his fiancée ate at Big Belly Burgers since her injury and she has been craving for it forever. Oliver was even afraid that Felicity was pregnant but she already told him that she was not pregnant. She just wants a Big Belly Burger and if she didn't get her burger soon, she would go exorcist on Oliver. It was funny and at the same time scary for him. He also bought her a chocolate milkshake.
Once he got to the apartment, he digs out his keys, opens the door, and lets himself in.
"Felicity, honey, I'm home," he announces, "I finally got what you wanted so there's no need to go exorcist on me."
He looked around the living room. Felicity was not sitting on the sofa. The flames were still burning in the fireplace. The black sheet that always covered her lap still lay on the sofa along with the book of The Shining by Stephen King lying open and facedown. But Felicity is nowhere to be seen.
"Felicity?" he calls out again. He then notices the balcony doors open and a draft was blowing in, making the curtains move gently. Oh my God. No! "Felicity!"
"What!?" she yells and Oliver jumps with a startle.
Felicity wheels into the living room, revealing that she was behind the kitchen counter the entire time. Of course he didn't see her. She looked shorter in a wheelchair. Oliver sighed in relief when he saw that she was still okay. He was afraid she had fallen off the balcony. Of course, he would have seen a Felicity frappe on concrete when he arrived so that was his mistake.
"Why didn't you answer?" he asks.
"Oh," she says and reveals her earphones and the iPod she had on her lap, "I was listening to music. The quiet here gets a bit creepy sometimes and I like listening to music while reading."
"Did you open the balcony doors?" he asks again.
"Yeah," she answered, "I needed fresh air. This better not be a problem, right?" She crossed her arms and arches her eyebrows at him.
"No, no. I was just…Never mind. I brought you dinner." He lifts up the brown paper back and Felicity smiles with joy. "I hope you like bacon cheeseburger."
"Aw. Thank you."
"You know, I was thinking we could get a cat," Felicity said as she was snuggled next to Oliver in their bed. Oliver frowned at the idea.
"A cat?"
"Yeah. It gets pretty lonely in here and I thought that maybe we should get a pet. A dog or a cat. But I think I would like a cat better."
"You don't like dogs?"
"Well, I don't hate them, I just don't like them much. They leave hair everywhere and they poop everywhere."
"Cats poop too."
"But they don't shed hair," she retorts.
"How can I trust you to take care of a cat if you left the balcony door open?"
"It was only a onetime thing."
"Are we seriously going to be arguing over a cat?"
She chuckles and rests her head against his shoulder. She admits that arguing over a cat is stupid. She simply wants to enjoy her night with her fiancé. And didn't a stupid cat argument ruining it for her. She still wants a cat though. She decided to change the subject.
"What about the stair lift? Let's talk about that," she mentioned.
"The stair lift," he nods, remembering that she talked about it to him on the phone, "You're getting bored of me carrying you up and down the stairs?"
"No," she says, "I actually find it entertaining. I just think that one day you're gonna get tired of carrying me. I'm also afraid that we might both fall down the stairs if you can't look at the stairs while carrying me."
"It's going to be fine, Felicity," he says, "I promise."
"I know…I still want that stair lift by the end of the month or I will kill you."
"Again with the exorcist thing?"
"Nope. I'm simply going to kill you if you don't install that stair lift for me," she runs her fingers up and down his bare chest and smiles, "Also, I need a ramp at headquarters so I can get to my computers."
"Consider it granted," he says, "Let's talk your codename…Overwatch."
"…I love it. The name is perfect. Overwatch. And Oracle was taken? Really? Oh my God." She starts laughing. He leans in and kisses her.
"I'm so glad that I'm getting the old Felicity back," he says.
"Well, you're getting a new Felicity now," she says, "but that does not mean the old one is gone either. When you arrived, my life became a lot different than I thought it would be. My life changes every day and I discover new things about myself I didn't know. And it's all thanks to you guys."
"Why?"
"For having faith in me and for showing up at my desk with a laptop filled with bullet-holes," she said, "If none of it happened, I would have never met you or Diggle or Thea or any of the people I met during all this."
"…If I had not been on the island stuck with Slade and military camp trying to kill me, I wouldn't have met you and I would still be being a rebel playboy. So, in some parts, I'm glad I was on that island."
She chuckles again. "Then we should go back to the island and have our own private vacation there even if you did promise to take me to Bali."
"Yeah, a survival vacation where Oliver Queen needs to carry his soon to be wife through all the obstacles of forests, booby traps and an angry Slade waiting for us. A good honeymoon vacation."
"…Speaking of which, when was the last time you check in with A.R.G.U.S. on Slade?" she asks with a frown.
"Um, a week ago," he said, "A.R.G.U.S. has him guarded pretty tightly. He won't be getting out of there anytime soon."
"That…is what you said about last time you and Thea were in Lian Yu."
"Because Malcolm let him out."
"And that goes to show that karma can be a bitch," she sighs and lies back on the bed with her forearm pressed against her forehead, "Will our lives ever be normal again?"
"Doubt it," he said. Not a very positive answer.
To seal the conversation to a close, he crouches on top of Felicity and kisses her on the neck. He removes her tank top and proceeds to kiss and softly bite her clavicle and breasts, causing Felicity to let out sharp breaths. He sits up and proceeds to lift up her legs and help her out of her pajama pants and panties before settling her legs down again, running his hands up and down her thighs. He sadly remembers that Felicity can't feel her legs which made her shed a few tears. He kisses her gently again before removing his jeans and underwear, and enters her. It has been a week since both of the made love and it was frustrating for them both, thinking that it would not be the same now that she's paralytic. But they were wrong. They could still make love even if it was a bit difficult for them since Felicity is still most of the times. Oliver has to do all the work and it wasn't fair for her. She and Oliver had their foreheads pressed against each other, exchanging panting breaths and small moans as Oliver is thrusting in and out of her, the heat of his chest over her breasts. His thrusts are gentle and slow. He needed to be gentle. He knew that he would hurt her if he went too rough.
Hours later, Felicity and Oliver are now lying next to each other, inhaling and exhaling in exhaustion. Oliver had his around her shoulder, holding her close to him while he had her thigh over his abdomen.
"We still got it," Oliver panted.
"We're a little bit rusty but at least we confirmed that my genitalia is still working," she chuckles, "I was afraid it would affect our sex life. It still is since I can't use my legs. But I'll just have to get used to it."
"It's going to be okay," he assured her.
"Are you sure?"
"I promise that we will both be fine," he assured. He kisses her on the lips again.
And then the phone rings. "Damn it," he curses in frustration. Oliver sits up and picks up the phone from the nightstand, and answers the phone. It's Diggle. He says there's a problem and he should get to headquarters immediately. Diggle says it's important. Oliver looks at Felicity with a weary expression. After hanging up the phone, he changes into his clothes and helps dress up Felicity to start her duty as Overwatch.
They arrived at headquarters in five minutes tops after receiving Diggle's call. Oliver is already in his Green Arrow uniform while Felicity was wearing a black sweater and grey pants. Diggle, Thea and Laurel were standing at the computer area. They all look concern and agitated. Felicity knew that something is bothering them. She wants to know what is. Diggle already has his arms crossed and Thea looked a bit shaken up.
"What's going on?" Oliver asked as he helped her wheelchair up the stairs. The ramp does sound like a good idea.
"You might want to take a look at this," Diggle said before turning on the main computer screen.
A.R.G.U.S. headquarters. They were simply pictures but A.R.G.U.S. is now a complete wreck. The computer screens were shattered, bodies lying on the floor and blood everywhere. It was gruesome. Everyone in A.R.G.U.S. is dead. Felicity gasped in shock. There were body parts and guts and blood everywhere.
"Who could have done this?" she whispered.
"I think we all know who," Diggle says.
"Dhark?" Oliver says.
"No, worse," Thea says, her voice shaking.
Another pictures show up on the screen, revealing a man in black suit and black and orange mask. The picture was taken from behind so you only see his back. But they all know who it was. Everyone went pale at the sight of the photo. Deathstroke. He's back. He escaped from Lian Yu and killed everyone in A.R.G.U.S.
"How did this happen?" Oliver asks with a raised voice.
"We don't know, man," Diggle says, "but it looks like Slade ain't giving up. He's coming here to Star City to finish the job."
"He's going to kill us, one by one," Laurel says.
But they all know that Slade wants to make Oliver Queen suffer by killing the people he loves most before killing Oliver. He wants to make Oliver suffer for the death of a woman who didn't really love him. And everyone knows which person Slade will come after first. Oliver's eyes drift to Felicity's direction with worry. Felicity only gulps in response. This is not good, not good, she thought.
Okay, guys, this is my first attempt of writing another Felicity story. This is now called Overwatch and it has nothing to do with Black Smoak. I'm still writing Black Smoak but I just wanted to go ahead with this one already now that Felicity is in a wheelchair and finally got her codename. Slade is coming back and with very bad intentions of destroying Oliver and we all know who he will kill first. Muaahahaha- *cough* Sorry. Anyways, guys, I'll be writing more of these as well as a new chapter to Black Smoak. Please follow and comment down below. Please
