A/N this is just something that popped into my head at 2:30am after thinking about all the spoilers, Hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: Sadly, Do not own Arrow.
-She wasn't sure how long she had been on the island, a couple of days at least, she was starting to lose count. She lay on the hard ground, the dirt hard under her back, daydreaming of the events that brought her here.
"You better eat." Slade's thick Australian accent startled her. He tossed the plate of meat towards her, not moving from his squat near the fire. Felicity didn't move, she didn't even turn in the direction of her dinner. She hadn't eaten anything in at least a day or two but she wasn't hungry.
The blond former-IT girl just sat and wondered how her life turned out like this.
"Slade?" it was barely a whisper but the caught the large man's attention "Why bring me here? Why come back to the island?"
"I'm sure the kid told you about the horrors that happened here, it seemed fitting"
"He never told me," Felicity's voice was weak, the entire hopeful Felicity spark erased. "Oliver never spoke of the island."
"It doesn't surprise me, after what he did."
"Tell me. Tell me everything Oliver done"
-"Oliver! Oliver! Why aren't you answering?" Felicity scrambles on to the hope that he was okay. Worry trumped annoyance this time as once again Oliver turned off his comm.
She was panicking as she heard Digg in a fight; she could hear his struggled breath and gun shots.
"Felicity, its Rochev, she is here! We need to end this now!" Digg's loud, panting yet determined voice is what pushed Felicity to grab the wheel of the truck and start driving towards S.T.A.R labs. Cisco told her that the cure had been made, although it hadn't been sampled on a Mirakuru patient. They had no choice, it might not work but it seemed to be no other way.
After receiving the antidote, trying her best to keep conversation with her new friends quick and small as possible, she headed straight back to her partners' whereabouts. Too busy in her own thoughts and worries, the girl never noticed her surroundings when she left but on the route back it was like hell had broken loose. Fire burned around her, people screaming and running in fear, strong men in masks dominating the streets. She continued driving, trying to get in touch with either one of her friends without any luck, turning desperate and scared.
That's when it hit her.
The car out of nowhere colliding into her, causing the van to flip; she barely managed a scream. Her head crashed against the windshield. The last thing she hears before everything goes black is her name, screamed by a familiar voice. It was Oliver. He was alive.
The thought just flashes through her head before her eyelids come down like concrete curtains.
-Oliver was in hiding when it happened, trying to take down the soldiers with an arrow through the throats hoping they penetrate deep enough. How could he of missed the one that threw the vehicle? He heard the crash for the car hitting the van a split second before Felicity's broken scream echoing through his newly re-attached comm system. He didn't think, he ran towards her despite Laurels resistance. He screamed for her. This wasn't meant to happen. Why was she driving?
Half a dozen men was not far behind tailing the Arrow as he ran down the street, he noticed at the corner of his eye some of the men had arrow-head wounds on their neck although they were unphased.
Oliver had no choice but to fight back once they caught up with him. He was outnumbered; it was bad enough fighting one of these human-weapons.
Laurel had now joined him but before Oliver could bark at her to stay back, Sebastian Blood stops the Mirakuru monsters.
"Soldiers, now is not the time. Leave the Arrow and his comrades alone, Slade has what he wants. We want the city, now take it."
The soldiers walk passed Laurel and Oliver causing destruction as they go down the street to Starling City centre. Laurel is confused as to why Oliver is just standing there, not following them or getting Blood.
Oliver only has one thing on his mind. Slade has what he wants. What does he want? What else can he do? One more person will have to die before this can end.
He stares at the overturned black van that he was so desperately trying to reach not a moment earlier.
Felicity.
He didn't even feel his bow fall from his hands as her races towards the heart-breaking scene. His heart in his throat, he was going to be sick. Dread that was pitted in his stomach crashed through his veins, guilt so heavy he swore his bones were cracking.
He reached the car, the pain in his knee long forgotten when he faced the inevitable.
Except she wasn't there, Felicity was gone.
There was no body.
The confusion added to the emotional turmoil he is dealing with was enough to make him snap. He needed Felicity, He needed her here.
"She's gone! She's not here," He screamed to Laurel. The woman just wore an unreadable expression on her face, when she slowly turned to Sebastian Blood. The man stood a few miles up watching the display. In the time took for the Skull-Man to turn round, Laurel picked up Oliver's bow and a spare arrow from the ground and fired it straight through his abdomen.
-Now Felicity knew.
She knew everything Oliver went through on the island and she felt sick, she cried and she listened to Slade version of the death of Shado.
"Why did you bring me back this place? Why couldn't you have not just killed me, like you killed Moira?"
The man stormed forward and grabbed the girl's pretty face hard, making sure she was looking at him, making sure that she understands. "The kid is stupid and impulsive, he will come here looking for you and I will make sure he will find you!" He spat through gritted teeth, his anger seething "But once he steps foot back on this island I will make sure he relives his time here, feel every hit, every wound and every near death all over again. So much that it almost kills him."
Tears started crawling down her face as the pain from Slade's grip was unbearable.
"But he won't repeat the ordeal himself; oh no, I have you! He will relive it vicariously through you. He will watch you suffer like he suffered."
Slade pushed her face away and she slammed hard back on the ground. As her torturer walked away she heard him mutter "And why would I give up an opportunity like that just for the chore of killing you."
Felicity understood why Slade kidnapped her. She was 'Poor Felicity, always needs protection, can't fight back'. She played this card; she knew what Slade expected of her, what everyone expected for her. Just wait for the Arrow to come in and save her once again.
But, the remarkable thing about Felicity Smoak was that she wasn't stupid. As she turned her back to the capturer and felt the small bottle hidden in between the cups of bra it reminded her off this. It reminded her of her plan.
Hope you liked it, I would love to hear what you think! Also Good Luck, fellow Arrow Fans for the next two episodes xoxo
