Felicity stretched in her chair in her office at Queen Consolidated, working out the kinks in her back after so many hours of being in her chair. It was late at night and the building was quiet other than the sounds of the music on her computer, her lazy co-workers had gone home hours ago and she stayed to set up her checks and looked into any hacks that had been found and sent them to the proper authorities. She smiled excitedly to go home to her TV and finally getting caught up on some of the shows on her DVR. Lately her boss, Mr. Queen had always called on her to fix his computer or look into the laptops he would bring her and she wouldn't get home until late and the routine continued over and over again. She had no real life but she was happy which is all she wanted, she had her own life and very rarely had to look over her shoulder anymore.

A few years ago she was Felicity Knyazez instead of Felicity Smoak, she was the daughter of Anatoly Knyazez the daughter of the leader of the Bratva. At the age of sixteen she managed to change her identity and got into MIT with her father's permission. When she graduated top of her class the entire Bratva assumed she was around the world partying or was traveling, in reality she was on her way to her new home, Starling City. She changed her look completely from the goth look she previously had to a more chic look, her hair went from being dark brown to now blonde. Another big difference was she no longer wore her contacts opting for two toned glasses.

When she finally arrived in Starling City she sent her father her new information so he knew how to find her if he needed to. It had been a while since he had seen her in person and other than the usual birthday or Christmas cards she hadn't heard his voice for about six months he was keeping his distance to keep the Bratva and the death it came with away from her. One night when she felt so homesick she hacked into his computer to have a secure video chat with him. He was happy from what she could see and she should him she was happy, she also had to show him she was still wearing the necklace she had worn since she was three.

The necklace she was currently playing with in her office while waiting for her latest program to complete. The necklace was nothing crazy and to an untrained eye they just thought it was just some symbol. That symbol was a one that every single member knew, it was the symbol of the Pahkan and only him and his family wore it. When her computer let out a small ping she knew the program was set for the weekend and she could finally go home. She began to shut down her computer and began to pack her Queen Consolidated laptop and her tablet and put it in her work bag. She grabbed her jacket and put it on since she knew it was already cold outside. She locked her door shut off the lights and then made her way to the elevator bank. She pushed the button twice out of habit stifling a yawn that fought its way out anyway. The elevator dinged and the doors opened to two men. Her boss Mr. Queen and his bodyguard John, she smiled at them.

"Good evening Mr. Queen how's your laptop?" she asked joining the pair in the elevator.

"Very well Ms. Smoak. You're um here late."

"Typical Friday night, had to set up some programs for the weekend to alert me of any attacks."

"Attacks?" he asked with his brow furrowed.

"IF someone tries to hack or break into the system I will know it and be able to alert the authorities and protect the system."

"What if you go out?"

"I can remote access in even from my cell phone, plus I really don't go out much."

"That's pretty remarkable Ms. Smoak," he said smiling.

"Thank you for remarking on it," the elevator doors opened "have a great weekend," she said turning right out of the elevator to begin walking to her car.

"You too Ms. Smoak," he said not knowing if she heard him or not.

"I'll get the car," John said walking away as Oliver followed her with his eyes. She was engrossed with something on her phone her blonde ponytail moved side to side as she walked in her high heels. She had parked so far away she was almost to the edge of the lot, she didn't see the man step out of the shadows coming up behind her placing a cloth over her mouth. Oliver began to run towards them not wanting the kidnapper to know he was coming. The man dropped her to the ground when she went limp in his arms, Oliver took the opportunity to tackle the man to the ground.

A brutal fight began between Oliver and the masked man ensued, the sounds of fist hitting flesh rang out. Oliver didn't hear the tires of his town car squeal or John calling out to him. Oliver finally had the upper-hand on the man when the attacker pulled out a knife. In one motion Oliver flipped the knife and rammed into the man's heart. The man fell down as Oliver quickly went to go check on Felicity, he got down on his knees and flipped her onto her back to check for a pulse. His fingers caught her necklace and he noticed the medallion on her chest and his breath caught.

"John?"

"Yeah, is she?"

"She'll be fine, check for any markings, we have a problem."

"What?" John said getting closer.

"Look," Oliver said showing him the necklace.

"Oliver, why the hell does your IT specialist have the Pahkan's symbol?"

"I don't know but this isn't good, we need to go before there are others."

John walked over to the man and pulled off the ski mask, revealing an Asian man in his twenties. He then pulled down part of his shirt revealing Triad symbols tattooed on his neck. John pulled out his cell phone and called Roy to dispose of the body. John grabbed her purse and her work bag while Oliver easily carried her bridal style and got in the backseat of the town car. Soon they were off the Queen mansion with both men having the same thought, who the hell is Felicity Smoak?

The man on the motorcycle watched his comrade die and watched them take his mark away in a town car. He shut off his light on the motorcycle and followed them at a safe distance.
