After everything Slade had taken Thea and she knew Oliver was panicking, he was like a fish out of water and that unsettled her just as it did with the rest of their team. He was their rock the one who pushed them to be better. They had been trying to find Thea for two days; she hadn't slept since the video came up during Moria's speech and she was crashing badly she felt Digg squeeze her should "Go home and rest, you can't help us if you're not 100%" She was about to argue when he gave her his no arguments face and she knew she wasn't going to win. She had just packed up here things when Sarah came down the stairs "Oliver says I have to make you go home." She looked sheepish Felicity smiled "I'm heading out so don't worry." She then began to walk again only to realise Sarah was following her she turned back to the girl "Did you need something?" Sarah shook her head "no but Ollie doesn't want any of us alone till Slade is… well dealt with so you're stuck with me "Felicity felt her jaw drop that arse thought she needed a baby sitter "No offence Sarah but you can tell him to shove it where the sun doesn't shine I am tiered, grouchy and in no mood to have company forced on me." She turned and stormed off only to be followed by Sarah She huffed but carried on storming passed Oliver at the bar no stopping to say good bye nothing she just carried on.
Sarah had followed her all the way home even up to her front door it was at this point Felicity realised Sarah wasn't going anywhere, she felt defeated she was never going to be a member of the 'team' just the tech support the weak link. That made tears well up in her eyes she was feed up of living in their shadows of being the voice in the wind that told them where to go, she was done, out for good. She crawled into bed and let her mind wander; she would help him find Thea she wouldn't leave the innocent girl in Slade's hands. Felicity woke to the smell of coffee Sarah she tough so she padded her way into her living room still half asleep "Hey look Felicity I am sorry that we have to stick together but you have to see with Thea gone and the way Oliver and I know Slade he is hyper afraid which happens to make him hyper protective." Felicity sighed it wasn't Sarah's fault and she knew that but still it hurt they thought she needed a fully trained assassin as a baby sitter. "Sarah its fine I don't mind being stuck with you it just give us time to get to know each other better outside of Arrow business." She watched as a smile crept onto Sarah's face and her shoulder dropped "That would be nice, since all my old friends think I'm dead apart from my sister I don't have many girlfriend I can speak to."
Sarah and felicity spent the morning talking and just generally relaxing when there phone started to vibrate, Felicity picked hers up and read the message 'Found Thea, meeting at the club now.' She looked up to Sarah who smiled "Let's go the sooner we get her back the better we will all feel." Felicity nodded and got up making her way to grab her bag and coat and then they both made their way to Verdant as they made their way down the metal stairs they could hear Oliver and Digg discussing the plan to get Thea back. When they reached the base of the stairs Oliver's head shoot up "Digg found Thea, Slade is keeping her in an abandoned warehouse, we are going in tonight. You" he pointed at her "will be with us I can't risk leaving anyone open." She prickled at that it was bad enough Digg found Thea during 1 night something she hadn't been able to do in 2 day but now he was what dragging her out into the field to what seemed like punish her, to show her what Thea an been put through because she failed to find her quick enough. Sarah went to argue but Felicity just put her hand on the other girls and shook her head she deserved this she had let Thea down, she'd let them down.
After working out the kinks in the plan and Oliver drilling into her what she was to do and making her repeat it back verbatim which really all she had to do was stay by Sarah's side like they were physically linked but not so close she hindered Sarah. The team had gone to suit up leaving her to her thoughts, she had thought once she found Thea she would leave make a fresh start for herself some where she hadn't disappointed they people she loved but now Oliver was insisting she came along with them she was stuck going out to bring Thea home but then that would distract him making it easier just to leave unnoticed. She just hopped it all went without a hitch the Queen family and Oliver in particular had been through enough.
