Taking One for the Team
A few spoilers from the synopsis of "Time of Death" and Olicity (mostly friendship)
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Arrow, the characters, or anything else that is involved with the show.
She couldnt ignore it any longer. No matter how much she tried to focus on her monitors,
Felicity still found herself drawn to watching as Oliver, Diggle, and Sara were sparring.
"Since when did a crow bar become your weapon of choice?" Oliver asked, panting.
"Unfortunately," Sara replied, "arrows were out of stock where I was at the time I started assasinating people."
It was silent for a moment.
"Good thing, then", Diggle chimed in. "Oliver doensn't like more than one bow-hunting vigilante in his city."
Sara chuckled, and Oliver only glared at the man.
After looking at the clock, Oliver realized how late it was.
"We better get going soon, you'll be late for your party, Sara."
"I thought I told you I didn't want a welcome home party?", Sara replied hastilly.
"You came back from the dead, sara. That deserves a welcome home party.
It's a Queen family tradition."
Sara shook her head. "Alright, just let me get cha-"
"Oliver, we have a problem!", Felicity interupted.
The Arrow materialized at her side. "What is it?"
"I have been watching the news, and it seems a man by the name of the 'Clock King' has been murdering high-ranked
officials in the city. Apparently he gets his name from his precise timing of his...killings."
"So what does that have to do with us?" Oliver asked impatiently.
"Well, a few of the politicians murdered were linked pretty close to Moira..."
Oliver tensed at the sound of his mother's name.
"Look, Oliver, I know you and your mother are not under any circumstances at decent terms, but if my instincts
are correct, which they usually are when it comes to these things..not that I look up murderers in my spare time..just,
like that feeling you get when-"
"Felicty..."
"Right, sorry. Okay, so I think that this guy could go after your mother too...and although she's not the greatest
person in your life right now, it might be a good idea to cut this guy off from any more..disturbances to this community."
Sara stepped in. "So you got a location on him?"
"I am getting to that", Felicity replied.
"From what I could tell, it seems that he is working inside of abandoned buildings, moving after each crime. And, I found
his newest location at Ocean and Grand."
"So we go in, take this clock king out, all is well in Starling City Land?" Diggle asked skeptically.
"No, I am afraid not. He has a freakish amount of technology which all has severy firewalls on them. It took
me nearly 3 days to decrypt this one." Felicity pointed to the map on the screen.
"Could this wait, Felicity? I know this is important, but it wouldn't look good if we canceled the Lance Family Reunion
minutes before it starts."
Felicity sighed audibly. 'What is it with Oliver and the Lance girls? Any other time he'd cancel any event
he HAD to be at, and I'm sure Mr. Lance wouldn't mind him revoking the event.
"I guess, but just try to keep an eye out. His pattern looks like night calls, so be on guard."
"It's fine, Oliver. I will keep an eye out for anything suspicious." Felicity said.
"Thanks, Felicty. I really appreciate it. WE appreciate it." Oliver replied, motioning to Sara.
After the door to the underground cave shut, Felicity got to work, bringing up every security camera and
motion detectors she could to monitor the Clock Kings' movements.
While waiting for the monitors to catch anything, Felicity started to get wrapped up in her thoughts.
With the new recruit to the Team Arrow (which Felicty still referred to it as, though Oliver wasn't crazy
about it) Felicity started to question her spot on Oliver's "Team".
Yeah, she could hack computers remove the traces of the Arrow being present, but Oliver and Sara were trained fighters.
Dig was in the military and was probably just as experienced in the field. Felicity always tried to help, but she
always ended up needing saving. Everyone else could handle themselves..and she was just the geeky, damsel in distress.
'I have to prove to Oliver I am still worth being on this team' Felicity thought.
Maybe it was a coincidence, but right then a ping popped up on the screen, giving Felicity the information she needed for
the building that the Clock King had been holding up in.' "Perfect!" Felicity squealed. "All I need to do is set up a few
tracking devises on this guys work, a security camera or two in the building, and probably get enough evidence to rat
him out to the police before the Arrow has to do anything!"
Felicity packed her gear, grabbed her jacket and headed for Ocean and Grand.
Meanwhile, messages popped up on her phone screen from Oliver, the phone she left in the lair...
A little Cliffy I guess. hope you all like...I will try to update soon!
