This is one of my first fanfics so please bare with me (:
It had been five months since the fall of the glades which left a majority of the city in a state, Oliver had only returned a few days previous to take back his role of CEO for Queens Consolidated. Whilst he was gone Felicity had been busy re building and enhancing the "Arrow Cave" as she liked to call it even though she didn't know what Oliver would be doing with his evening activities.
It was going to be the first time she had seen Oliver since he rescued her from the crumbling cave and Felicity was pacing the length of the cave, she had so much to say to him in her mind, a majority of her thoughts were angry thoughts, 'How dare he leave when the city and his friends needed him the most and what about poor Thea having to cope with her mother going to prison and then her brother vanishing for a second time without warning' Immediately shaking her thoughts from her head hearing the door go she looked round quickly 'Come on Fliss keep it cool, stand your ground... Your mad at him remember...' she repeated in her head. As Oliver walked down the steps slowly he didn't know what to expect, he was hoping everyone would of run miles from him thinking he was an animal and an unworthy son who would leave his family at a critical time, but he couldn't cope, he needed time out to think of his role of being "The Hood" after all what good did it do? Half the City almost gone, his best friend Tommy lying in hospital and not even going to visit him knowing that the guilt of killing his father and lying to him about it would overwhelm him. Tommy didn't need to know any of that whilst he was still in hospital. Snapping from his own thoughts hearing the repeated footsteps that echoed through the cave Oliver felt a pang of nerves hit him, he hoped Felicity would understand why he left. Reaching the bottom of the steps his eyes immediately reached hers , he stood there not knowing quite what to say to her, Felicity stood there with her hands on her hips ready to let rip at him but she saw the look in his eyes, the nerves which was something she thought she would never see in Oliver Queen.
"Hey, Your ... Your looking good" Oliver broke the silence with a glimpse of a smile forming on his lips, feeling the anger flow away Felicity smiled walking over to him "Thanks... Although someone could of done with a shave!" she teased finally stopping in front of him, with out any hesitation Oliver wrapped his arms round her pulling her close against him, she felt him start to shake as he pulled her closer "Oliver... It's ok... Come on, come sit and we can talk" Felicity replied back with a small smile as she hugged him back, her small arms meeting around his broad body, she never in a million years thought she would be this close to Oliver 'Don't make an idiot of yourself Fliss, you are the new and improved Felicity Smoak, Queen of the non babbling and straight to the point'
"Come on... I'll make you some of your icky tea or what ever you would like to call it but believe me I have given it a try whilst rebuilding this place and believe me.. It tastes like vomit! Not that I like to taste my own vomit as that would be gross!" she rolled her eyes shaking her head as she pulled back from him. "I'm glad your still here Felicity... You haven't gone like I thought you would have.." Oliver spoke stopping Felicity from talking further, looking up to him stunned, she simply shook her head "Like I would do that, I know you and I know that whilst you were gone you would of been beating yourself up over this and you better not argue back with me Queen but none of this was your fault... You stopped one device but I didn't see the other one coming" she smiled faintly pulling away properly from their hug. She walked round to the small kitchenette area and flicked the kettle on, what she didn't expect when she turned round was Oliver standing right behind her "It wasn't your fault either..." He could sense the way she ended her last words feeling that it was her fault she didn't see the other device which claimed part of the City "I guess no one could of seen it coming... Merlyn put a lot of thought into his plans... Allot" he shook his head before taking Felicity's hand leading them to the seats
"So tell me what I missed?" Oliver asked looking back round to her, full well knowing that this could lead to one of her babbles but it was what he missed, spending five months on your own in silence was a dramatic change to the keyboard tapping babbling IT girl he grew to be very fond of.
Felicity raised an eye brow at his question "Well I rebuilt this place in my spare time and oh thanks for noticing!" she rolled her eyes and just as Oliver was about to but in she continued "Me and Dig have been volunteering to help get the City running again, Your sister has taken over the bar and Tommy should be out of hospital in a few days... Oh yeah thanks for disappearing.. Guess who has been playing Nurse Smoak whilst you've been away!"
