"You have to listen to me or you'll going to lose everything."

Oliver stared back at the man in front of him and his like looking into a mirror only older. "This shouldn't be possible."

"After everything we've seen is time travel really that inconceivable," Oliver responded, his eyes scanning the bunker searching for her.

"But by being here, changing things aren't you running the risk of ruining everything else? The butterfly effect or something." Oliver was finding it really hard to focus.

"I don't give a fuck about some butterfly effect. I don't care about the consequences it will have to the timeline." Oliver snapped, his eyes livid with anger and storm barely kept at bay. "All I care about is keeping Felicity alive."

Oliver stumbled back. "What?"

Something happen's to Felicity?

How? Why? When?

"You think we spent half our life suffering you know pain but you have no idea what real pain is."

Older Oliver's voice was filled with such pain younger Oliver felt like his chest was being torn open, leaving an open, bleeding wound.

"When the woman you love is ripped from you suddenly and without warning. That is real pain. True suffering."

A shiver traveled down the length of Oliver's spine. He sounded just like Slade Wilson.

"All I see is her everywhere. Her ghost haunting me with every step I take. There is so much I didn't get to tell her. So much I should have said when I had the chance. I have so much regret. It's crippling." He breathed harshly his hand raising to press a fist against his chest as if he wanted his heart to just stop beating.

"I can't do this without her. Any of it. I won't." Older Oliver eyes filled with so much suffering and pain that it had younger Oliver flinching. "I will save her or I'm going to die trying. Failure is not an option because there is no Oliver Queen without Felicity Smoak."

His hand tightened around an arrow shaft. "So you can help me or get out of my way. I don't care if you are me. I will put you down."

Oliver saw the conviction in his eyes but more than that he saw the pain but he already knew he was going to do whatever he needed to do if it meant saving Felicity. "What do we need to do?"


A/N: I have no idea where I'm going with this but couldn't stop thinking about this after watching some old Olicity videos on youtube.

Not sure if I'm going to continue it.
