Author's Note

This would be a collection of drabbles based on all the things that are special about this couple. I may also take something significant from every episode of the season and do a little drabble around it. The first one is obviously about swinging off the ropes because of the season premier. Also because it is an 'Olicity Thing'.

Why does it always come down to a rope and him swinging her off to someplace?

Felicity was on a mission with Oliver that night. It was supposed to be your average, run of the mill regular spying effort – or as average as a spy effort can be – where she had to get in the mainframe of a crook's company to dig out information about a kidnapped nuclear physicist. Digg was in the security room watching cameras and Oliver was outside the server room where Felicity was working when all of a sudden two men with weapons entered the floor and opened fire.

The minute Oliver saw this; he decided that fleeing was the best course of action because he did not want to take risks with Felicity by his side. He went inside, got hold of Felicity and her tablet which she unplugged from the mainframe mere seconds before and started running. Just when they were about to head down via emergency exit, they saw more people coming up. Digg informed them on the comms link that there were some sensors that informed them about the security breach and the whole building is now swarming with security people and that he is coming to back him up. Oliver told Digg not to come and get their getaway car ready, and said that Felicity and he will meet him at the previously designated point.

He knew there was only one way they can get away without getting into a fight which he wanted to avoid because Felicity was with him. He grabbed her arm and headed towards the roof of the building.

When they reached the roof, Oliver jammed the door with a pipe and looked for the best possible exit route. He found one on the northern corner of the building. He shot his arrow with the sling to the building next door and asked Felicity to hold on to him tight.

Felicity who was following his every command and until then balked at that suggestion and said, "Seriously Oliver? Is it a thing now? Is it your way of dissuading me from coming out in the field? Make me swing off with a rope from crazy heights? Have you developed some kind of Tarzan mentality after living amongst those tall trees for past five months?"

"Felicity, we don't have time to get into an argument, just come with me, NOW."

But Felicity was on a full on babble mode.

"NO. At least all the other times I ended up risking my life off a rope; I was doing something momentous or something for the first time. I mean when I crossed over that elevator shaft with you, that was my first experience of corporate espionage and I was kinda excited and we had to save the Glades. The second time; well we had no other option with a bomb literally under my foot. It was also the first time I went to another country – even if it was to a place as godforsaken as Lian Yu to drag you back to civilization – but it still counts, right? In any case, it's not every day you get to step on a landmine. And that third time when we crashed not one window but two, it was the day I was demoted to the post of an assistant. I mean I had to be the only person on the entire plant who got demoted because she was seriously kick ass at her job. That was also my first high level corporate takeover meeting so even that made sense. But today is just a stupid day and nothing special happened, I have been out on the field many times and have hacked into more mainframes than I care to remember and I don't want to swing off to that other building because if you drop me, I will fall down on the road and if I survive that fall, I will be killed by an oncoming car and I don't want to die in a road accident because my mom will not be able to hold an open casket funeral for me and I know she really likes open casket funerals because that way one can say good bye properly," she went on and on and started moving away from Oliver.

Just when Oliver was about to argue with her, he heard shots being fired at the door and he knew that he does not have more than 45 seconds before the security staff will break the door and another minute before they find them on the northern corner.

He did not waste even a second, grabbed hold of Felicity's waist with his left hand and kissed her, on the mouth, hard. Felicity, who was all set to continue with her tirade about how swinging off ropes has got to be associated with something momentous was shocked into silence with that kiss and before she could have reacted, Oliver's other arm went around her shoulder, her feet were off the ground and she was swinging off that rope with her arm around his neck and his lips on hers.

It took him less than a minute to touch ground, and Felicity only opened her eyes and let go of him when his lips left hers. To say that she was dazed and confused and incredibly aroused would be putting it mildly. Oliver looked at her and saw her panting with both her hands on her chest as if she was trying to calm herself. Before he could've stopped himself, he pecked at the corner of her lips for the briefest of moments before taking hold of her hand once again running off to the end of the lane where Diggle would come with their getaway car.

Their timing was perfect and Diggle pushed the brakes exactly the minute Oliver and Felicity made it to the end of the lane. He first pushed Felicity and then climbed in the car behind her.

Felicity, who was still in shock because of Oliver's kiss, moved to the extreme corner of the seat and shrunk herself into a ball. She knew that Oliver just kissed her to distract so that she would swing down with him, what she was trying to figure out was why did he kiss her again when they touched the ground. She kept looking outside the window and shut herself off from the conversation that Oliver and Diggle were having. She needed that to recover from the emotional turmoil an Oliver Queen kiss can bring out.

Felicity was about to jump out of the car when the car pulled up in front of Verdant when Oliver lightly touched his fingers to her shoulder to stop her from getting out. She stopped but did not look at him and waited for him to say something. He leaned in and asked with a smirk, "Was that momentous enough for you?"
