Birds of Prey

Felicity Smoke didn't think her day could get any worse, first she loses contact with Oliver, just as Helena shows up in the Arrow Lair threatening her life. Luckily Sara decided to make her return to Starling. So with one thing in common can the three very women work together to save Oliver?

Ch 1

Felicity Smoak watched the green dot move around the screen. The layout of the warehouse appeared empty. They had gotten a tip that more of the super serum was being held in an abandoned shipping warehouse. Footage she had gotten a few days ago had shown people around the area. So Oliver went to check it out. "Do you see anything?" she asked him over their com.

"Nothing, it looks like they cleaned it out in a hurry" Oliver replied as he scanned the warehouse. There were scuff marks on the floor leading to the docking doors showing they had moved whatever they were storing here. He still didn't know if it was the serum.

"There's an office, I'm going to check it out" The gruff voice of Arrow came through her com. "Be careful" she told him.

"I always am" he replied.

"I think you and I have a very different meaning of that word" Felicity said to him.

Oliver smiled as he slowly pushed open the door. He peered inside; satisfied that it was empty he walked over the file cabinet and opened them. There was nothing in them but pieces of charred paper; they burned whatever it was. He walked around to the desk and pulled open all the drawers, again nothing. He scanned the office and saw something sticking out from underneath the couch in the corner. He walked over to it. "There's some kind of package they left behind" Ollie said to her.

"Bring it back here and so we can inspect your package together…I mean the package, not your package, I'm sure your package is fine…" Felicity took a breath. "Just bring it back here"

"Aww, that's cute. You two should get a room"

Felicity spun around in her chair at the sound of her voice. "Helena" The woman smiled at her dressed in black and purple leather with her cross bow pointed at her.

Oliver heard Felicity say her name and picked up the package. He ran to the door, just as a large looming figure stood in front of him. "Hello, Oliver" it said. Oliver could barely register his shock before the figure's hand grabbed him by his throat, lifted him in the air and threw him off the walkway.

Felicity sat rigid against her chair as her heart beat rapidly in her chest. "What do you want?" she asked the crazy woman standing in front of her.

Helena smiled. "Good, I was hoping we could do this the easy way. The Starling police department have a man I'm looking for. I need you to find out where he's being held"

Felicity tried to calm her breathing as she replied to her. "What's the man's name?" she asked as she slowly turned around and pulled up a different screen. She was hoping to stall her to give Oliver enough time to make it back here.

"Maxwell Lord" Helena replied. Felicity stiffened when Helena walked over to the computers. She then continued to type. "They moved him from Iron Heights, so I need to know where that was."

A screen popped up of Maxwell Lord's rap sheet and arrest warrant. Felicity wanted to check him out first. He was a bad guy but "He's already been caught, why not leave him there to rot"

"He has trouble dying, I want to help him with that" was her reply.

Felicity pretended to type. Where was Oliver? He had to have heard her right? She kept glancing at Helena to see what the woman was doing. Should she try to do something on her own? She couldn't help Helena murder a man that was already in prison. Helena was standing right behind her. Maybe she could knock the crossbow out of her hands?

She took a deep breath to steel herself, then launched herself backwards her chair knocking into Helena the crossbow clattered to the ground as she got up to make a run for it kicking the weapon along the way.

Helena recovered more quickly then she expected her too. So now the only thing between her and Helena was a table. Helena smiled at her creepily as she aimed her crossbow. "I guess we'll do this the more painful way" she said. Felicity closed her eyes ready for the pain, then she heard a loud thud.

Felicity opened her eyes slowly and saw Helena's body slumped over the table with one of Oliver's arrows in her shoulder. She looked up expecting to see Oliver in his green hood, but what she was Sara Lance standing in the lair holding Ollie's old wooden bow.

Tbc…
