So I know most of the time I upload longer chapters but I'm planning for this one to be considerably shorter than the others. I hope you all enjoy it nonetheless.

As always, please leave a review and tell me your thoughts on this and if you want me to continue or not.

Thanks x

"Felicity Smoak?" the male voice to her right spoke aloud, jolting her out of her thoughts.

Turning her head in the direction of the voice, Felicity's eyes fell upon the broad figure instantly recognised to be one from the army by the way he held himself (and definitely not by the shirt he wore either).

"Yes?"

"Felicity…you're a friend of John Diggle's right?" twisting in his seat to see her more fully, the man in question diverted the majority of his attention to her, also giving her a better view of him in the process. He was a broad, well-built man and sort of reminded her of Digg as well but he didn't have that sense of comfort whenever she was near him though.

"Yep that's me. Who are you?"

"Oh yeah, sorry…I'm Jason Robertson, same section John was, we actually got out together but went our separate ways from there. How's he doing by the way?"

"Yeah he's doing well…do you know Lyla Michaels by any chance?"

"Do I know Lyla? Course I do. When they were actually married he wouldn't goddamn shut up about her"

"Yep that's her, well now they've got a baby girl called Andy, he's adorable"

"Really, huh imagine that, Digg's got a little boy and he named him after his brother…I bet that's one hell of a sight to see"

"He's only a couple months old and he's already got him wrapped round his little finger…well actually more or less all of us, but mostly the men of the group. Beneath that entire tough exterior there's a soft hearted teddy bear when you don't irritate them of course"

"As most men are….Digg said that you're his little sister basically, I haven't seen him in ages. Maybe I can visit some time when I'm not too busy"

"I think he'd like that, hey maybe you can make that a surprise for him"

"That's a pretty good idea, except for the fact that he's trained to on alert at all times and the habit is pretty hard to break"

As Felicity and Jason began diving further into their conversation, they were abruptly interrupted by the plane suddenly shaking before a bang reverberated around the area inside, making all of the 108 passengers scream out in surprise also causing Jason's hand to flash down to Felicity's wrist and tighten his hold.

"What's going on?" Felicity asked, twisting her upper body in her seat to see behind her, everyone on board was just as frazzled as they were.

"I'm not sure…but I'm going to find out" he replied as he released her wrist to work his way to the pilot section of the plane, pausing to quickly chat to one of the stewardesses before ducking inside the compartment.

It felt like hours before Jason finally emerged from the pilot's section of the plane, returning to sit in his seat beside her.

"Is everything alright up there?" she found herself asking before she truly thought about it but when Jason hesitated, turning to look around him as if there was a traitor within the passengers, before answering her and he whispered over to her.

"Not really….we just blew an engine, we can't stay up in the air for much longer and the other one might give out as well, there's no knowing about these kind of thing"

"What?" she knew it was stupid in asking the question in the first place but she honestly couldn't help it, she was freaking out inside but what use would it do apart from causing everybody else to panic as well then what help would that do?

"Ladies and Gentleman, this is the captain speaking. I am sorry to tell you but I don't think we are going to be able to make it to our intended destination for we have lost one of our engines. You need to need to prepare for a ditched landing, please listen carefully to the instructions from our stewardesses"

Her heart pounded in her ears as Felicity felt Jason's hand slide into her own, gripping it firmly.

"Under the seats are a life jacket, the stewardesses will demonstrate how it is put on and then they will demonstrate the crash position. Good luck to us all, and may God be with you"

Time seemed to stand still as they all felt more than heard the second engine blowing up in smoke as the plane lost all power, the aisle being encased in pitch black, and began to fall towards the earth in eerie silence, the only sound registering was her heavy breaths fading into the nothingness before her.

An empty void of thoughts swirled around her as the only thing she could focus on was the fire slowly suffocating her from the inside out and the screams of the people around her, the only thing zoning her out was the hand gripping her own.

It was agonising listening to the ear-splitting screams and cries of pain as the number of people decreased significantly.

Then…nothing
