I am going through Arrow withdrawals so bad right now! It does not help with all the little teasers and spoilers literally alllll over the internet! I am dying to see Olicity love and also terrified that we are either not going to get it or if we do they are going to blow our ship up! But, what are you gonna do, "they don't write songs about the ones that come easy." One of my favorite quotes. It's from Veronica Mars. Aaaaanyway, on with the story!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Arrow or anything that is or may be affiliated with it in any way, shape, or form.

I also do not own Veronica Mars or anything that is or may be affiliated with it in any way, shape, or form. (Just in case I needed to add that in there)

I'm going to set this in season three. But, Moira is not dead, and she was acquitted from the glades situation. She did still threaten Felicity over the whole Thea situation but, I am going to do my best to make them resolve that. Tommy is still dead, only because I couldn't figure out how else I would make everything I wanted work with him still alive. Sorry Tommy :( I still love his character. Roy and Thea are still together. Laurel and Sara will be in the story and this is a non bashing story. I love all the characters and that's the way I'm writing them. I have written Laurel as bad before, but it was just for the purpose of that story. Walter and Moira are separated right now because of the whole Glades thing, but they are working their way back to each other. Because I love Walter. And I felt that Moira could have been likable as well. Diggle and Lyla are together and married but there is no baby Sara. I felt it would be too confusing to have two Saras in the story and didn't want to give the baby a different name.

Onto the Olicity parts. They haven't had their disastrous date because I am not dealing with anymore of the "I can't be with you" crap. Because that's what it is. Crap. So my story is completely AU and there will probably be some OOC sequences that I apologize for in advance. It's all fantasy land people and I'm doing the best I can with it. Especially because this is going to be my longest story EVER! So I'm going to shut up now and let you begin reading. Please read and review, but keep them kind. I'm all for constructive criticism as long as it is CONSTRUCTIVE. Anything mean, and it will either be deleted, or I will call your ass right out so keep that in mind. If you have anything that is mean and you feel really needs to be said, please PM me. Let's keep it classy, people.

Chapter 1

Intuition

Felicity looked behind her for what felt like the hundredth time. She didn't know how much longer she was going to be able to deal with this paranoia. All week she had been feeling like someone was watching her when she was home and following her whenever she left her house. She literally shook the feeling from herself and looked straight ahead at the club and the line of people waiting to get in.

Ugh. I hate when Verdant is busy. I mean, it's good for Thea so I don't hate it, but it makes it so much more difficult to make it down to the basement. No side door entrance for me tonight. I'm going to have to make an appearance and look casual for a bit. Like I can ever look casual. I am so not the party girl type, not that there is anything wrong with that, I mean Thea has that down to an art. And Oliver can play it well too. Well, not party girl obviously, he plays party boy very well. No that sounds like that thing from that show that the guy does that dance move in his speedo. He does playboy very well. That's not right either I- Oh. My. God. I babble in my head now too. Stop it, Felicity. 3...2...1..

Felicity made her way to the front door of the club after shaking herself out of her thoughts and gave the bouncer a sweet smile.

"Kyle. How are you tonight?" She said, trying to ignore the glares and mutters from the line of people waiting to get into pretty much the hottest club in Starling.

"Doing good, Felicity. You're looking pretty fine tonight. On your way in to meet Oliver?" Kyle spoke while opening the door of the club for her.

Felicity could feel herself blushing at the insinuation. She and Oliver were in that strange territory of more than friends, but not quite in a relationship. They certainly weren't telling anyone that though, so the fact that everyone seemed to be acting like they were already a couple always put Felicity a little on edge. She just offered Kyle another smile as she strode past him and into the dark club.

Felicity had to pause after coming in the doors to let her eyes adjust to the darkness of the building and the strobe lights coming off the dance floor. She took in her surroundings, noticing just how much work Thea had put into the interior decorating in the recent months. She had refused to give up on the place after the undertaking of the glades, and insisted that it was not ruined. That everything that happened was just an opportunity to redo it. It had taken her months to get everything even remotely done and ready for inspectors to make their visits. Thea had dealt with some pretty big issues and all kinds of delays before she had gotten to the new opening just last month. Not just club delays either. Felicity spotted Thea behind the bar and took in the air of authority the girl had and the confidence that showed in her walk.

Sometimes I think we forget that she lost Tommy too. She found out Tommy, a man who she had thought of as a best friend and had a small crush on, had been her half brother and her mother had been lying to her her whole life. Finding out her other brother was the vigilante didn't help either. Just one more person who lied to her. That and the fact of who her father was anyway. I wonder if Oliver has really discussed all of it with her, if he let her know that Robert Queen knew she wasn't his daughter and still chose to raise her as his own. That was what mattered after all. He was always going to be her father, blood relation be damned. Maybe I should talk to her about it, I know being ashamed of who your father is better than anyone. And Thea and I have actually gotten pretty close over the last year. Besides the fact that Oliver isn't exactly a talk about how he's feeling kind of man. No, not Mr. Broody. He would rather kiss you and tell you he loves you and then say you can't be together in the next breath. Ugh, I'm doing it again. Focus, Felcity.

Felicity let out an agitated sigh and made her way to Thea and the bar, forgetting all about the Foundry and finding Oliver and setting her sights on the brunette. Thea made sure that the whole team felt welcome at the bar and that all the staff knew who they were and to answer to them if any of them needed anything. Felicity walked back behind the bar and tapped Thea's shoulder. Thea whipped around in surprise and then her face broke into a huge grin and she pulled Felicity into a hug. Felicity couldn't help but grin back and wrap her arms around the youngest Queen, who was becoming one of the few best friends Felicity had.

"What's up, Lis?" Thea asked as she stepped back.

"I just wanted to make sure you knew that if there is anything you ever need or want to talk about, you can come to me. I'm a really good listener. I know it doesn't seem like it because I talk so much, well babble most of the time, but I promise that I can shut my mouth long enough for you to tell me anything that you want to tell me. That didn't make a lot of sense at the end but-"
"Felicity. I know how great of a listener you are and I know that I can always talk to you. And I love it when you babble. So does Ollie." Thea ended with a smirk.

"Wh-what? Oliver doesn't- No. Never mind. I came over here because I was thinking about everything you've been through this last year and everything you've accomplished with the club. Which I am really proud of you for by the way. But, I was thinking about how you may be struggling with the whole father thing. And I am not being an insensitive jerk, I just mean that I know what it's like to struggle with who your dad is and I'm here if you want to talk about it. Or if you want to talk and have someone listen. I know Oliver isn't the greatest with that stuff. Well, he is good about listening to me when I'm upset, but I have to be really upset and it has to be obvious to him. I'm going to shut up now." Felicity cut herself off.

"Let's go up to my office." Thea didn't give Felicity the chance to reply as she grabbed her hand and dragged her up the stairs and into her newly renovated office and closed the door behind them.

Oliver leaned back in Felicity's chair and puffed his cheeks out, letting the air out with an impatient sigh.

Where the hell is she? He thought to himself before standing and pacing. Felicity was supposed to be here 45 minutes ago. He turned around as Diggle came out of the bathroom and stared at him for a moment before speaking.

"Where the hell is she?" Diggle smirked at Oliver's tone.
"She probably stopped to talk to someone. Thea, Roy, Sara, there are a lot of people who enjoy her company Oliver." Diggle said it calmly, even though he knew it would get a rise out of Oliver.

"No. They know she needs to be down here. What if something is wrong? I better call her." Oliver pulled his phone out of his pocket before Dig could say a word. The bodyguard just shook his head with a smile and walked over to the training mats.

Thea and Felicity had been talking in Thea's office for over a half hour and Thea had told Felicity everything she was feeling from Tommy being her half brother, to Oliver being the Arrow. She had gotten teary eyed at certain points, but Felicity had just continued on as if it wasn't happening. They had moved from the chairs in front of Thea's desk to the couch, sitting closely next to each other and just taking comfort in the other's presence.

"I'm really glad I have you as a friend, Felicity." Thea smiled at the blonde IT.

"I'm glad to have the privilege of being your friend, Thea." Felicity said as she put her arm around the younger girl.

"I kind of feel like you have become a big sister to me over the past year. It would be really nice if you were actually my sister." Thea said the last part mischievously.

"Thea, not this again. Oliver doesn't feel-" Felicity didn't get a chance to finish her sentence as her cell phone rang. She smiled at Thea, glad to not have to have the Oliver discussion with her again, when she noticed none other than Mr. Queen's name flashing across her screen.

"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." Felicity grumbled as she hit answer.

"Yes, Oliver?"
"Are you okay?" Oliver barked the question.

"Yes, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be fine?"

"Because you are never late and you were supposed to be down here almost an hour ago. I got worried." He said the last part quietly and in that tone that Felicity felt he reserved just for her.

"I'm sorry. I got caught up talking to Thea. I didn't mean to make you worry. I am fine and I am on my way to you right now." Felicity couldn't be mad at him when he was being so caring.

"Okay. See you in a minute." Oliver hung up after speaking.

Felicity put her phone in her pocket and turned to tell Thea she had to go, only to see the girl looking at her with an amused expression.

"What?" Felicity didn't mean to sound like Oliver and bark the question, but she did.

"What what? I didn't say anything." Thea tried to say it innocently.

"You didn't have to. It's written all over your face! You really need to give up on this Oliver and I thing. It's not going to happen." Felicity said it with an almost sad tone.

"But you want it to. Admit it. You are totally in love with my brother." Thea said it as if she already knew the answer, and if Felicity was being honest, she did.

"Even if I did, which I'm not saying I do, he doesn't feel the same way. It kinda takes two people to have a relationship, Thea."
"Does it? Thank you for that bit of wisdom oh great IT one. I know my brother. He is completely in love with you too. No arguing. You are needed in the basement and I know I'm right. I would put money on it and I would win. You will see in time, Felicity. He loves you. Now go." Thea got up and left the office before Felicity could say anything. She was left sitting on the couch, staring at the closing office door in awe for a few minutes. She didn't think she would ever know how Thea always seemed to find love hiding in every corner of the world. She sighed as she stood up and left the office.

Felicity had just shut Thea's door and began walking down the hall when she once again got the feeling that someone was watching her. Her steps slowed until she came to a stop and she looked around at her surroundings. There was a door to the stairwell at the top and another at the bottom before going back into the club. They were self locking so no one from the club could try and get upstairs. Not without a key and an access code anyway. Felicity had designed the system herself. So why didn't she feel confident that there was no one up here with her? She shook her head and once again began walking down the hall, convincing herself that she was working too much and not getting nearly enough sleep. Felicity rotated her head on her neck as she swiped her card and entered her code before she started down the single flight of stairs. Felicity was on the third step down when the lights in the stairwell went off. She froze and a gasp was let loose. She took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down. She took her phone out of her pocket and was reaching for her phone to call Oliver and use it as a flashlight. She didn't care if it was a wimpy thing to do, calling him, she was going to do it anyway. Felicity had just hit the send button when she felt a hard shove in the middle of her back. Her arms flailed out, trying to grab the railing and break her own fall, but she hadn't seen the shove coming and yelped as she felt every stair on her way to the bottom. Felicity had one last thought before she lost consciousness. Oliver is going to be pissed.

Oliver saw Felicity's name pop up on his screen and answered it with a frown.

"Felicity? What's going on now?" Oliver waited a moment and all he heard was what sounded like slow breaths. He began to panic.

"Felicity? Can you hear me?! Where are you? Felicity!" Oliver began typing on her computer as he held the phone to his ear, listening for any sign that she was alright. Felicity had shown him how to use the trackers in their phones and he typed in Felicity's, seeing that she seemed to be in the stairwell to the offices. As he turned and began sprinting up into the club, he was aware of Diggle following behind, yelling at Oliver to tell him what was going on. He didn't have time to answer, he needed to get to Felicity.

Okay, so this is going to be the first time ever that I am posting a story up in chapters, and they are not actually written yet. It's kind of exciting and I'm going to do my best to stay on top of it. I will say I am pretty well prepared with plenty of pages of writing. It's just a matter of uploading them. Let me know what you think!
