Author's Note: Here was my prompt from Ismybella:
"So felicity is fed up with feeling helpless when she is in danger (which is quiet often, no surprise there) so she tries out Oliver's training equipment while he's out of town for a few weeks. But in doing his infamous salmon ladder, she misses a rung and seriously injures herself (like a compound fracture in her arm). She passes out on the floor beneath and Thea finds her not long after. She takes felicity to the hospital and felicity pleads with Thea not to tell Oliver. In a series of events, he finds out and also finds out she's been training to get stronger and such so he decides to play a little joke to teach her a lesson. So while walking back to her car with Thea, he jumps them. But it goes wrong when felicity pepper sprays him and both girls basically beat the crap out of him for a good minute before he reveals himself and his plan. So the rest of it is basically Thea trying to force Oliver and felicity to get along (cause they are both pretty mad at each other) while trying to keep them rested (which we all know they are both pretty stubborn laying down while recouperating)."
I hope this works.
Disclaimer: Usual message inserted here.
Felicity was mad. Not the "ugh I hate the world" kind of mad. Not the "I'm so grumpy" mad. Straight, outright, angry. And all of it was Oliver's fault.
He had been having a bad day, yes. But that didn't give him any right to say that he needed to focus on something other then saving her, so she needed to stay in a heavily guarded, safe, room. And, yes, she shouldn't have blown up in his face about it, but it had hurt. She didn't want to be the damsel in distress all the time! She just couldn't fight like he and Diggle could.
So, anyway, she was very very mad at a certain green clad hero. And he wasn't even around to face her wrath! He had "out of city business", and would be out of town for a few weeks.
She was struck by an idea. What if she trained super hard while he was gone, and when he got back, viola! Felicity 2.0. Stronger, tougher, and more able to take care of herself.
That idea in mind, Felicity strode over to Oliver's best training equipment. Her eyes fell on the salmon ladder, really the only thing that had stayed the same since she had re-done the lair. He did it all the time. It couldn't be that hard, right?
Felicity reached toward the bar, stretching way on her tipi-toes. Only then was she able to grasp the metal. Straining, she pulled herself agonizingly slowly up on the bar. Then, like she had seen Oliver do a million times before, she jerked the bar upwards and towards the next notch. It didn't even come close to reaching.
Down she went, landing hard on her back. She gasped, the wind knocked out of her, but realized that she was lucky she hadn't banged her head. Felicity was just thinking that maybe the salmon ladder was too hard to start with when the metal bar she had been grasping fell.
It slammed on top of her arm, and Felicity screamed in pain. Her vision dimmed as she looked down. Her bone, her bone, was sticking out of her skin.
Felicity passed out.
