"Well that didn't go as bad as I thought." Felicity stated as herself, Oliver, Diggle, and Sara came down the foundry stairs after their mission of fighting Slade, not failing but not winning either.
"Seriously?" Diggle questioned
"Any day we all come back here in one piece is a good day." Felicity joked. Diggle and Sara chuckled, but Oliver quickly hushed them.
And then it was clear what had occurred.
Slade Wilson is in the Arrow Cave.
"Hello brother." Slade said in a casual, yet menacing tone.
Oliver said nothing as he flipped over the steel table in his path to Slade and quickly swiped his bow and arrows from the case at a breakneck speed.
Even Oliver is no match for a revenge seeking Slade and he soon wore out. As soon as Slade threw Oliver 15 feet into the nearest wall, that's when Sara attacnearest wall, that'_ked. Diggle charged into the fight when he heard the piercing snap of Sara's wrist. Slade as quick as lightning fought Digg and knocked him unconscious and was about to kill him when Felicity's scream rang out.
"STOP THIS! LET THEM GO!" she shouted.
"And what are you going to do to stop me? Huh?" Slade said amused that the small IT girl had even bothered to challenge him.
"Don't make me do this." Felicity pleaded.
"Felicity?" Oliver said disoriented. "What are you doing?"
"Unfortunately, Slade Wilson has made the choice to challenge me and I have to show you who I truly am." Felicity said, calm.
"And what might that be? Some little self-defense class skills you wanna show off, sweetheart?" Slade taunted.
"I think I'm a little more advanced than that." Felicity replied back with a new found strength that was not in her usual cherry tone.
"Do you really wish to know what you are up against Slade Wilson?" Felicity questioned accompanied with a knowing smile.
"You have the floor."
Felicity then pulled off her top revealing her top and then she lowered her pants a liitle to reveal her hip bone.
"Felicity, Is tha- that a tattoo?" Oliver said surprised still gawking at the intricate design of the tattoo the perfect shade of violet.
"Oh my god, you're her! You were supposed to have died years ago!" Sara said in complete shock also alerting everyone she was now awake.
"Well I'll be, if it isn't Violet Dagger." Slade said generally surprised.
"Felicity, what is he talking about? Diggle questioned also alerting everyone he is awake.
"We can save that for later."
"Can we? Ms. Smoak or should I say call you Violet from now on? I mean do your friends know the real you? Do they know that since you were 7 years old you've been trained to be one of the most excellent, professional killers in the world? Do they know you've killed people years past your own?"
"Shut up!" Felicity demanded.
"What can't handle the truth? What about that time in Mexico you killed that father of three just because someone told you to? Tell your friends how you murdered several because it suited you, until you were the age of 18!"
"SHUT UP! Look I wanted leave that part of me behind! But you've left me no choice."
"Look, Diggle, Oliver, Sara, I'm sorry, that after this I will have to leave you behind, that after this you won't see me again, I'm sorry that after this I won't get to be a part of this family. But know this, I love you all and each one of you in your own way has made me better." Felicity then flipped two violet colored daggers from her boots in the blink of an eye.
"FELICITY, PLEASE NO HE'S TOO STRONG! Oliver pleaded with her.
"That's what you think." She said with utter confidence.
And that is when the madness ensued. Felicity raced to where Slade stood and using her light weight to propel herself into the air and rap her legs around Slade's neck. He then tried to pry her legs from around him but she was quicker. She then sliced off both of Slade's hands, leaned backward and slashed the back of knees which brought him to his knees. Climbing off of his back she grabbed his sword and put the tip at his throat.
"Who has brought who to their knees huh?" Felicity sneered.
"After you kill me you will still be a killer who can never be loved." Slade said out of breath.
"So will you." And then Felicity raised her sword and decapitated him, and didn't flinch when his blood painted her body.
Oliver, Diggle, and Sara just stared at her, surprised that their sweet, blonde genius who loves hot coco is a professional killer who just took down the almighty Slade Wilson in minutes.
"I have to go." Felicity said quiet and calm two things they knew her not to be.
She raced out of the door and since all of them were injured it was impossible for them to get to her quick enough.
It would be 3 years before they saw each other again.
