AN: Another chapter so soon it's crazy! I don't have a Beta so forgive me for any typos. I don't own Arrow although I would love to. Please R&R!
Still not thinking clearly she piped up "I thought I was missing one when I put up my quiver and bow." Her eyes popped open her jaw dropped and she slowly turned her seat around until she was staring straight into Oliver's eyes. Eyes filled with rage and betrayal.
"Your what?"
Shrinking down she replied "My quiver and bow..."
"Since when have you had those, when did you learn how to shoot?"
"My bow 4 years, the two before broke, and I grew out of my first one. I started when I was five, being my father's daughter, I wanted to learn how to learn how to shoot a gun, but Mamulya said no. So I decided to take archery instead." she finished her explanation realizing that she just divulged too much information and that more questions would follow.
"Mamulya... Your mother is Russian? Why did your father have guns? None of this is making any sense Felicity." He was grasping at straws trying to make sense of all of the new information.
"Elizaveta." she whispered softly almost hoping he wouldn't hear her. His eyes widened and he stepped back looking at her as if she were a threat, as if he couldn't believe she was real, that she was a figment of his imagination.
"NO!"
She flinched when he yelled at her "Oliver, listen I can explain."
"He told me to find you, I searched everywhere for an Elizaveta Knyazev, who had brown hair and round glasses. He told me to take care of you and protect you."
"I know...he came to me at my graduation telling me that a man was still alive and that he would protect me if I was in Starling City. I had already taken a job here but I fought him anyway. I realized what he meant when I saw your Bratva tattoo the night Moira shot you."
"THEY ARE LOOKING FOR YOU! Feli...Elizaveta, the family is looking for you, you are supposed to take over." He was yelling and when she looked at him he radiated fear.
"I'm Felicity Smoak DAMNIT! They shouldn't even know I exist! I deleted myself from every database as Elizaveta and replaced with Felicity Elizabeth Smoak! I changed my hair, I changed my glasses, we changed our religion, I changed my city...TWICE!" She said using her scary loud voice.
"Well it wasn't enough, was it? They know you exist and they won't stop until you have been found and take over, or they kill you."
"I shouldn't have to worry about that until Papa dies." she then got a sick feeling in her stomach realizing what it is that Oliver just implied. "No he can't be... I never got to say goodbye." she slid off her chair and down to the floor crying.
"I am so sorry Felicity, I thought you knew. He was injured by a stray bullet in Moscow and he didn't survive."
"Why didn't my Mother tell me? There is no way she wouldn't have known, Uncle Dimitri would have told her."
"Uncle Dimitri as in Dimitri Kasyanov?"
"Yes he's my mother's brother, but he took care of me and my mother. I paid my college tuition hacking for him. We had an agreement that he wouldn't tell anyone that I existed."
"Well apparently he went back on your deal, because they've been looking for you. I TOOK YOU TO RUSSIA!" He was officially losing it.
"Yes and it was a calculated risk, that I took in order to help Starling City. Although they probably figured it out when I ran into Dimitri in Moscow."
"Is there anything else you want to tell me before we fix this? Any secret siblings or family members?"
"Does a fiancé in Russia count? There is an arranged marriage with the son of a captain in the family." She said wincing as the words came out knowing this was not going to bode well with him." Before you ask his name is Alexi Chapayev, and yes he is the son of Viktor Chapayev, they until the Moscow trip thought I was dead."
Oliver felt a wave of guilt wash over him, if he hadn't taken her back to Russia they wouldn't be in this predicament. "If I hadn't taken..." Before he could finish his sentence Felicity decided she'd had enough of his self martyrdom theology and guilt he forced upon himself, that everything that went wrong was his fault and he was the one who needed to fix it.
"Stop! I am not going to listen to you drone on and on about how I wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for you. Guess what? You can't change who my father was and you can't change the fact that I am the one that has to take over. Kinda sucks though that you got kicked out."
"I made a vow that I would find and protect you. Now I failed you."
"We need to stop arguing and find a way to fix this."
"I guess you're right" he replied as they sat down in chairs facing each other about to come up with some solutions when Digg walked through the door.
