Trouble Always Finds a Way

Authors Note: Hey guys, it's been a while since I've written a story, so let me know how this is! I've been watching Arrow, and Flash recently, and I love it! This is mainly an Arrow-based story, but I might pull some characters from the Flash-verse every now and then. This story is set in the middle of season 5, but slightly different because I refuse to believe that (SPOILERS FOR THOSE HOW HAVET GOTTEN TO THE END OF SEASON 4) that Olicity isn't a thing anymore. So for the sake of my sanity, and the adorable thing that is Olicity, Oliver and Felicity are together in this story. Let me know what you guys think! Disclaimer: I do not own any rights to anything in the story, they all go to DC.

Chapter 1: Getaway

Felicity's POV

She woke up to the wonderful smell of bacon and pancakes wafting from downstairs. She sat up and slipped her feet into slippers and made her way to the kitchen. Her first sight was Oliver, setting the last heart-shaped pancake onto a plate on the table. "Thank goodness it's a weekend" she sleepily half-moaned and Oliver looked up and smiled at her. He pulled out the chair and sat down the one next to her with another plate of yummy breakfast food. "Hmm, what's the special occasion?" she gently whispered as she rested her head on his shoulder. "No special occasion, just woke up and decided I wanted to make you smile" he replied with a kiss on her forehead. "Food is a good way to do that" Felicity quipped before digging in.

After breakfast, they sat around and tidied up a bit. They sat out on the balcony, looking over Star City and feeling the warm morning sun. "Oliver, you know, back in Ivy town, we had talked about a short vacation to escape the neighbors, but now that Damian is gone, John and Thea are taking a step back, and you have a new team around, maybe you could trust them with the beating up bad guys for a week or so?" She pleaded to Oliver. "Felicity, you know that now isn't a good time for me" He replied with a slight groan. "I knowww but you promised that once we get settled we could go somewhere" she quickly remarked with puppy dog eyes. He sighed and raised his hands and relented. "Okay, fine, but only for a week, and somewhere we could quickly get back here if something went wrong" He settled.

-Back at the Arrow cave-

"Soo we only just got our bearings, and both of you are leaving?" Evelyn questioned. "It's only for a while, and if something goes seriously wrong, we are just a text away" Oliver reassured the doubtful team. "Well I'm just glad he's finally trusting us with something" Ramirez muttered to Roy. Felicity shot a look his way, but he had turned his back to avoid such gaze.

Oliver's POV

She had fallen asleep in the car and he gazed over at her and simply smiled, glad that she had convinced him to get away for a while. His eyes went back to the road, where, in his loving gaze, had ventured to the other side of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting an oncoming car and the jolt awoke Felicity "OLIVER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she half shouted- half cried at him. He laughed and reassured her "I was only gazing at your beautiful face" he softly said. "I'm flattered, but I won't be very beautiful in a totaled Maserati, will I?" She remarked back to him. He chuckled and nodded his head in agreement. "Well, we're here anyways, so you don't have to worry about my driving" He said to her as they pulled up to a cabin they had rented in Coast City, right next to the ocean.

They rolled their stuff into the living room and looked around the house, exploring for a bit. "This is really nice, honey" Felicity hugged Oliver and he squeezed her back and hummed in agreement. They turned around at the sudden knock on the door. "Did you order something?" Oliver questioned Felicity. "No, did you?" she questioned back. He nodded no and they approached the door. "Maybe it's the neighbors being nice?" She shrugged as she opened the door. Standing before them was a little girl, about 5 years of age. She looked ragged, scared, and had beautiful blue eyes that looked up at the couple. Felicity knelt down to be at eye level and asked her "Hi little girl, are you okay?"

Silence. She just stood there, blinking, looking like she was on the verge of tears. They had taken her around the area, asking if she belonged to anybody, they all acted very weirdly, closing their doors immediately, with fear in their eyes. "So what do we do?" Felicity implored Oliver. "Let's go down to the police station and see if anyone's filed a missing child report that matches her" He calmly replied. Down at the station, they didn't have much more luck. Even the police captain seemed a little skittish around her. Something wasn't adding up. He told Felicity to wait at the desk they were at and he walked over to the person who seemed to be in charge.

"Is there something you all know about this girl that we don't?" He prompted the captain.

"Listen, all we know is that she's trouble." He mumbled in reply "A couple of months ago, she showed up around town and everyone in this town has no idea who she is, where she came, or what's wrong with her. But everyone she comes to ends up.." He cut his sentence and never Oliver in the eye.

"Ends up what?" He demanded to know

"Well, they've all ended up dead with no explanation before the day is over" He grimly stated

Thaaaanks for reading, once again, tell me what you think about it, and what I could do to improve, or ideas for the rest of the story, or for other stories. -Ismybella
