I do not own Arrow or any of its affiliates.

Any and all grammatical mistakes are mine.

Felicity and Diggle make their way through Verdant heading towards the Lair. Felicty looks around at the party goers and wonders if anyone ever notices them sneaking in and out on a nightly basis. In that moment, her eyes lock with a young woman, no older than 22. The girl is looking strangely at Felicity and she definitely notices. The girl's eyes are focused on Felicity, as though she is trying to place her finger on where she recognizes the IT girl from. Felicity immediately begins to walk closer to Diggle.

"Are you okay Felicity?"

Looking around the room, unable to find the strange woman who she had just seen, Felicity smiles at Diggle.

"Yeah…" Taking another scan of the room, she once again fails to find the stranger, "all good."

The two make their way into the Lair and continue with their nightly Arrow Business.

Shortly after Diggle has left, Oliver returns from hunting down a drug lord in the Glades.

"Another successful night!" Felicity cheerfully exclaims as she watches him put away his bow and arrows.

"Yes, more trouble tomorrow though." Oliver exclaims in a harsh tone. His day has not been good. As Ray Palmer is trying to take over Queen Consolidated and his sister has gone off with no trace, he has a lot on his plate. Felicity holds her lips tightly together as she turns back to her computer screens.

Before her chair is fully facing the computers, it is halted to a stop. Startled, Felicity looks up at the man whose hands are now holding her shoulders.

"You did a great job today." A small smile piercing through his lips as he looks down as the perky blonde.

"We did." She responds with a smile stretching from ear to ear. Oliver squeezes her shoulders and turns around to continue getting out of his Arrow gear.

"I drank one too many cups of hot cocoa today," Felicity states as she stands up and heads to the stairs, "I'm gonna run to the ladies room, be back in a second." Before Oliver has a chance to respond, she continues, "well, not a second. That wouldn't really be possible. Then again, neither-" Staring back at Oliver whose face is holding a grin, she finishes her sentence, "what i'm trying to say is don't send the bomb squad if i'm not back in a second… just give me a minute."

Shaking her head at the embarrassment of her recent ramble she makes her way from the basement Lair into the Verdant nightclub.

Before she has a chance to make it to the bathroom, she feels a tight grip grab onto her arm. Wiping her head around, she sees the same young woman from earlier. The girl has light brown hair accompanied with petrified dark green eyes.

"Are you…" She pauses, examining Felicity's every feature. "Are you Felicity? Felicity Smoak?"

Felicity doesn't respond, instead she is combing through her memory for a single trace of this person…she comes up empty.

"Please! You can trust me! I want to help!" The girl's voice now getting more panicked. "Please! Are you Felicity Smoak?"

"Yes," Felicity calmly explains as she rips her arm away from the strangers grasp. "Who are you and how do you know who I am?"

"Listen, we don't have much time!" Once again grabbing Felicity's arm, lighter this time, she tries to pull Felicity towards the exit sign, "let's go."

Standing firmly in her spot, Felicity pulls back, "I'm not going anywhere!"

"Please!" Tears are beginning to form in the stranger's eyes as panic permeates from her every feature, "I know you think that he wants to help you and that he loves you, but he doesn't! He wants you to think all that, but he's a dangerous man!"

Felicity looks blankly at the frightened girl. How does she know about Oliver… about the Arrow? Why is she telling me he is dangerous? More importantly, why is she under the impression he wants me to think he loves me?

As questions fill her mind, Felicity hears a yelp from the girl who is now panting heavily. "He knows we've talked… oh god!" Felicity turns her head around to see Oliver walking rapidly towards them. Letting out a sigh, Felicity is obviously relieved to see the familiar face. However, the girl in front of her does not feel the same comfort. Tightening her grip on Felicity's arm, she attempts to pull Felicity away from Oliver. The girl's grip tightens a little too much as Felicity lets out an unintentional gasp. The sound that protruded towards Oliver's ears caused a concerned look to become plastered on his face. Within seconds, Oliver had the stranger's arms gripped behind her back, forcing her to let out a cry of pain.

"Are you okay?" Oliver asks as he looks with genuine concern into Felicity's eyes.

"Yeah, I think so." Felicity states as she rubs her arm where fingers had so recently been gripping.

"You were more than a minute." Oliver says as he sees Felicity visibly relax. For a moment, Oliver felt as though it was just him and Felicity in the room. He wanted to walk over to her and cup her face, to make sure she was really okay. But now, he had to deal with the person who caused Felicity distress.

"Who the hell are you?" Oliver questions the girl, as his voice becomes dark and tense.

Felicity notices the girl's demeanour change as she suddenly speaks with purpose and control. "I know who you work for, if you're going to kill me just do it!"

Oliver looks at Felicity, both holding a confused expression. As Oliver's eyebrows move further together and his jaw clenches, he asks the girl one more time, "Who are you?"

"Just ask your boss… He is the one that sent you here isn't he?" Looking up at Felicity, the girl's eyes are clearly filled with sorrow, "Felicity, you have to leave. I know you think your safe with him, but you're not."

Unable to control herself, Felicity steps towards her partner and the girl and stands up for Oliver. "Oliver is a good person… he cares about this city and his family and.. me." Felicity's eyes travel towards Oliver's as he listens to every word passing her lips. "Don't believe everything you hear; the tabloids lie! I -" Stopping herself, Felicity pauses on her next words. She wants to say love. "I trust him."

The smile on Felicity's face freezes as she tries to determine what Oliver is thinking. Before she has a chance to, the girl lets out a sentence that will change their lives forever.

"Who's Oliver? I'm talking about Mr. Smoak! I'm talking about your father!"
