Summary: After an encounter with a magic amulet, Felicity Smoak is abandoned by Team Arrow and taken in by the FBI where she meets Hellboy, Liz and Abe. Hellboy/Felicity Smoak
It all started in a the Starling Caves outside of town. Oliver had gotten a hint from Amanda Waller and, against Felicity and Sara's advice, decided to plunge head first into it.
"Why is Felicity here?" Diggle sounded annoyed but Felicity knew he was just protective. He was like the older brother she never wanted but ended up having.
"Good question." Sara muttered. She was all decked out in her Black Canary outfit as they walked up a separate trail that was normally never used to a cave that was government restricted. "She's the techie."
"Thank you, Lance." Felicity murmured under her breath, pushing past the hurt as she lugged her tablet up the mountain. Her shoulders felt a bit cold and she regretted wear the off the shoulder red sweater instead of one of her many, Doctor Who themed, warm sweaters.
"Felicity can't help us unless she's in the cave with us." Oliver explained.
"Fantastic." Sara said grumpily.
Felicity dropped her gaze to the forestry trail.
"Well, do you want to know how to get to whatever's in there?" Oliver asked rhetorically, thoroughly annoyed now. After a moment of silence, he snorted, "Thought so."
"Hey!" Felicity cut in, lifting her free hand to point at an upcoming cave. "Is that it?" She figured it was it if she had to go by the "no crossing" line and government warnings.
"Yeah, that's it." He said. They crossed the "no crossing" line and walked up to the entrance of the looming cave. Her stomach bubbled uncomfortably. Something wasn't right, here.
"Felicity, go set up inside." Sara said loudly. "We'll be right in." She turned to Oliver angrily. Felicity eyed Diggle for a second before walking inside.
"What Sara?" She heard Oliver say loudly. "We need to get this done." She walked into the cave, no longer hearing her friends and paused mid step to admire the cave.
It was big, at least the size of a ballroom, and dark. Sharp rocks hung from the ceiling dropped water onto the damp ground. Giant rocks scattered the giant cave, some damp and some dry, as water dripped melodically.
Felicity found a dry rock and began to set up her stuff when she heard it: "Felicity".
The voice was soft, warm and feminine and Felicity found herself standing up, her machinery forgotten.
"The rock. Push it. To the right." Felicity, in a trance, obeyed the voice's wishes and pushed over the rock to the right of her and she watched as the rock crumbled, and with it, the cave entrance.
"FELICITY!" Diggle, Oliver and Sara shouted immediately, torn from their conversation.
"Shit." Oliver swore, glaring at the rock filled entrance. "Felicity, are you okay?"
"Smoakie?" Diggle bellowed.
Felicity didn't hear them as she wandered into the cave, feeling the voice call to her.
"Come Felicity. Come." The voice purred. It didn't take long until Felicity came unto a door, a heavy iron door with a golden knob. In golden words carved on it said:
Cui fatum foret daemonium
Relictus ab iis, quae amat
Potens in viam suam
Qui dominatur in virtute esse Lilian
At this Felicity paused. She couldn't read Latin goddamnit.
"What are you waiting for? Open the door." The voice commanded. Felicity nearly crumbled at those words and reached down, twisted the doorknob and opened the door.
It was golden. The walls, the couches, the floor below her, even the high table in the middle of the room. On top of that table, on a bloody red pillow, sat a necklace.
"Amulet." The voice corrected.
-sat an amulet. It's chain was golden, like it, and wrapped tightly in more chains was a pure white gem of some kind that glowed mysteriously.
The voice didn't have to pick it up and Felicity reached down and scooped it into her palm...and then all she saw was light.
Flashes of red men, fiery women, guns, puppets flashed through her mind.
A red haired woman stroking a monkey like creature.
The beast in a tight embrace with a beautiful blonde woman.
Oliver shouting her name.
Diggle scrambling away in fear.
Light.
Darkness.
Fear.
Happiness.
Life.
Death.
And then she awoke, draped in a silent cloak of darkness. And she smiled.
