Felicity woke up with a start to the alarm clock going off. Today was a big day for both her and her twin girls. She was starting her job in the IT department of Queen Consolidated and her girls Mila and Madison were starting their first day of second grade at Starling Prep. She rose out of bed with a stretch of her arms and looked back at her bed to her two sleeping girls with their heads on the same pillow. Although they had their own rooms, they always found their way to Felicity's bed at some point during the early morning hours, before the alarm would go off. They had started this ritual when they were old enough to get out of their beds by themselves. Although Felicity didn't like the girls getting out of their beds and barging into her room in the wee hours of the morning, she never stopped it. Ever since she found out she was pregnant with them, it had just been the three of them against the world. Mila and Madison had tons of people who loved them and were there for them, but there were few people Felicity let in her inner circle.
Felicity finally got on with her morning routine and was finishing putting on her lipstick when she heard the giggles of her seven year olds. She smiled to herself as she just stood in the bathroom and listened for a minute. She walked out of the bathroom to find her daughters just talking and giggling while laying in bed. "Alright, munchkins, time to get up. You don't want to be late for your first day of school." Madison and Mila looked at one another and groaned, although school wasn't their favorite thing to do, they both excelled at it. "Fine, but if we have to go to school, I think we should get waffles for breakfast," said Mila and Madison nodded her head rapidly in agreement. "That sounds like a fair trade, why don't you two go get dressed, while I pack your lunches and make you your waffles," Felicity says as she helps the girls get down from the bed.
Mila and Madison were quiet as they rode in the car on their way to Starling Prep. Felicity tried to not let the silence concern her as they were generally little chatterboxes but she knew that first day jitters were going through all of them. After dropping the twins off and making sure they were both okay with her leaving, she made her way to Queen Consolidated. She had taken several years off from the corporate IT world to make sure she saw as many firsts the twins had as possible. Using her degree from MIT to good use as a personal technology consultant. She wouldn't have taken the job at Queen Consolidated, but with Mila and Madison being accepted into Starling Prep, she needed the steady and generous income a corporation could give her. She parked her car in the parking garage and made her way to the elevator bay. She was waiting for the elevator when a man on a Ducati came roaring onto the parking garage level she was on and parked the bike in a handicapped space. Felicity just rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to waiting on the elevator. She felt the man come to stand behind her and she continued to stare at the elevator doors, praying for them to open. When they didn't open, she decided to give up and just walk down the stairs, as she didn't want to be late.
Felicity got to the Human Resources department just in time and was quickly given a tour of the building and the IT department before she was shown her cubicle. Placing the picture of Mila and Madison along with her coffee mug filled with pens and pencils on her desk, she waited anxiously to be given more instructions. She didn't have to wait long for her name to be called to go help some executive out with getting his presentation up on the projection screen. Felicity made her way to the elevators and was pleasantly surprised that they arrived and dropped the occupant off on the necessary floor in a timely fashion. She took the time to text Mila and Madison a thinking of you text to their tablets and smiled when she got two smiley faces back in return. She locked her cell phone and placed it in her pants pocket as she made her way to the conference room doors. As she entered, she quickly recognized the man from the parking garage aimlessly pounding the keys on the tablet to try and get his presentation on the screen. Felicity quickly walked over to him, and grabbed his very well muscled arm. "Please don't do that. It will work if you are gentle and are pushing the correct buttons," Felicity worked her magic in a matter of seconds and the presentation effortlessly showed up on the screen and Felicity made her exit. Before she got to the elevator, the well muscled man from the parking garage was tapping her on the shoulder. "Thank you, I'm Oliver Queen." "You are very welcome Mr. Queen." With that the elevator dinged and Felicity left Oliver Queen as she got on the elevator pushed the button for her floor and grabbed her phone out of her pocket to see the picture of Mila and Madison smiling back at her.
