Disclaimer: WB/DC own these characters. I'm only borrowing them for a while. I own the original ideas found in this. Much of the dialogue is from Arrow episode 4 x 15 "Taken" by Keto Shimizu & Brian Ford Sullivan.

Summary: An inside look at the scene with Olicity and Darhk in the parking garage after Felicity's PT appointment when Felicity finds out about William. One-shot.

AN: I hope you enjoy this little one-shot. I wanted to write up this scene with Darhk, but then it didn't want to go anywhere else, so…..I will leave it here. Hope you enjoy reliving some of Darhk's dastardly evilness.

As they left the clinic and entered the parking garage Felicity gave another deep sigh. She knew it was unrealistic to have expected something to happen so soon, but…. she just so wanted it so desperately. If only just a small movement of her foot. Instead, she found herself falling over her feet. Which she certainly had done plenty of times before, when she was able, or supposedly able, to stand and walk on her own two feet. But…she shook her head in disgust at herself and her ability to ramble even inside her own mind.

In order to distract herself, she asked Oliver, "You ok?"

"Me?" Of course Oliver looked at her like she had lost her mind.

"I knew you were gonna ask me, so I thought I'd beat you to the punch."

Oliver shrugged, then asked, "Are you ok?"

"A guy, a brilliant guy says he can put a microchip in my spine and I will walk again." She rolled a few steps in her wheelchair. "I'm enough of a geek to know science fiction when I see it."

Oliver looked down at her, capturing her eyes with his. "You're still disappointed?" He stopped her wheelchair and kneeled in front of her.

Felicity returned his gaze. "Yeah. I know, it's stupid."

"Talk to me," Oliver directed, with the patient look he only had for her.

Felicity shrugged and said softly, "I wanted to be able to walk down the aisle on our wedding day."

A moment passed, then the silence was broken by a loud clapping. Felicity turned and she almost stopped breathing by the sight meeting her eyes.

"Aw, you two just melt my stone-cold heart. You almost make me believe in love again."

Indeed, it was Darhk, the man who had put her in the cursed wheelchair to begin with, walking towards them. And here they were, no Arrow, no team. No back-up. Felicity felt her heart lurch inside of her, her breath catch in her throat.

"Nice to see you, Mr. Queen. How was your Christmas?"

Before she could grab him, Oliver started towards Darhk. "Son of a bit…" Felicity watched in horror as her fiancée was stopped by an invisible force and lifted into the air. She watched as the veins in his neck popped out as he struggled to breathe.

"Oh. You're so brave for a political candidate and reformed party boy." Darhk looked at Felicity. "Sorry about the limo, love the wheelchair. Might I suggest motorized."

Oliver suddenly found himself released from the invisible grip choking him. Before he could stop her, Felicity wheeled several inches toward Darhk and said, "We have extremely powerful friends. You do not know who you're messing with."

Oliver was uncomfortable with the look Darhk gave them. As if he did indeed know exactly who he was "messing with". Instead Darhk said, "If it makes you happy, the 'messing' ends today." He shook his head. "I tried to bring you into the fold, Mr. Queen, I tried to kidnap your nearest and dearest, I tried to kill you, but none of that took." He gave a shrug.

Oliver swallowed. "Well, like she said, you don't know who you're messing with."

"I suspect that is true, but as they say- well, or should- the fourth time is the charm."

Oliver's phone suddenly chimed and vibrated. Oliver had a flash of memory to last year's revelation with Malcolm regarding Thea. Steeling himself, he looked at Darhk, who said, "Go ahead. Take a look. I'll wait."

Oliver pulled out his phone and looked at the screen. His brain refused to believe what he was seeing. William, his son, in front of a fireplace, playing with toy cars with Darhk's daughter. Darhk's daughter.

"William thinks I'm friends with his mother. Funny, isn't it?" Darhk leaned towards them and laughed. He then began to walk away, continuing to face them. "Anyhoo, 6:00 on Friday, you're gonna hold a press conference and drop out of the mayoral race." After pausing, he said, "Oh, that's 6 pm, by the way. I will be at home watching you from my brand-new television."

Felicity watched as their current, most deadly, enemy walked away like he had the world at his beck and call. Well, as far as she knew, he just might. She looked at Oliver, surprised that there was something going on that she didn't know about. Who was this William? And his mother? What were they to Oliver? And why did Darhk's mention of them make Oliver go pale?

Swallowing the sudden lump in her throat, she asked, "What did he show you on your phone? Who's William?"

Oliver looked at Felicity with the saddest look she had ever seen him look. It was, however, one of his 'I screwed up and you're not going to like it' looks. Not again, Oliver. I thought we were past you keeping secrets.

"Let's go to the Bunker and talk about this." Felicity was going to argue, but Oliver interrupted, pleading, "Please, Felicity, let's wait to discuss this."

Felicity sighed, and agreed. She allowed Oliver to wheel her to the car, not looking forward to the conversation ahead.

AN: Like I said, I wanted to explore this scene with Darhk, but I already wrote about the whole Samantha drama in my Arrow Dark Waters of Destiny story, so I didn't want to explore that again here. So that is why this is set as a drabble/one-shot. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you return for more chapters as I add them. I do thank you for reading and, if you are especially kind, leaving a review. See you next time!
