I have not yet watched the episode this week so, I'm just writing an AU to what happened to the Clock King if Felicity's zapper had killed him. I own nothing.
"He's dead" Sara breathed as she tried, but failed to search for a pulse. I crawled over trying not to scream from the pain in my shoulder from that bullet the Clock King had fired at Sara. I checked desperately, searching for a pulse. I found none like Sara.
I remember calculating the virus that the Clock King had put into my babies to make sure he wouldn't die like the machines did, some even melting from the heat of the frying of the circuits. No. It can't be. The Count was different. I may have not pulled the trigger that time so, the blame did not fall solely on me, which made it easier to bare. But this, with the death made by only my hands or my ability to fry his phone in his pocket with his own virus. No.
"No!" I scream and fall over his body, sobbing. I had just killed another human being. One that had been stealing for the benefit of his sister. I am a horrible person, kept crossing my mind as I continued sobbing, leaving tear stains on the corpse of the Clock King. I hear Oliver and Diggle step into the room. Sara goes up to fill them in on the situation, but Diggle immediately rushes forward, and picks me up from the ground and hugs me with all his might as if to send his comfort through the force of his hug. I am comforted little by this. I have just killed another human being. I am a horrible person.
He finally puts me down, and stops to stare at the bleeding in my shoulder. "You need a doctor." He looks at me, trying to tell me that I'm hurt. I don't feel that type of physical hurt though, all I feel is despair at killing another human being with my abilities. My shoulder and the rest of my physical body feel numb. I feel nothing. Oliver sees that I'm not going to move so, he picks me up bridle style and carries me out the back. I am so numb, I'm not even happy with the close contact that I so rarely get from Oliver.
He pops me onto his motorcycle and he goes behind me. We sped off into the night. We arrive at the foundry and he makes me sit on one of the metal tables. Diggle forces some aspirin into my mouth, and makes me swallow them. Sara begins stitching up my wound. Once she is done, I fall asleep. Damn that fake aspirin/ sedative because I didn't feel tired a minute ago. Damn you, Diggle.
I wake up on the couch in the foundry. While asleep, I began my plan for forgiveness of my sins. I sat in my swivel chair and began transferring my funds over to an account that the Clock King had made to pay for his sister's lung transplant. That may have left me close to broke, but I'm one step closer to forgiveness. I begin my next step by punching that contraption that I was hitting earlier with some help from Sara. I make an appointment with one my contacts, who is a martial arts expert.I put a sticky note on my computers.
Dear Everyone,
I need some time off, work a few things out. I have to try to earn forgiveness of myself, and the death that I have caused. Do not mess with my babies.
Don't try to follow me, Diggle.
Felicity
I exit through the secret passageway and leave. I need to get out of the Starling City smog. Maybe I can be my own superhero in a different city. I smirk at that. Me a vigilante. Ha! Or really...
I am thinking about writing another or adding more, but I'm not sure. So feedback would be great. Hope you enjoyed it.
