Shielding Hero 2

(The next morning)

Felicity woke up at six in the morning feeling just like any other morning content. She got changed and walked to her little red Mini Cooper speeding off to head to Queen Consolidated. After stopping at Starbucks to pick up a Carmel maciado she arrived at Queen Consolidated. She walked to the executive elevators and scanned her badge across the panel and the elevator came to life, she pressed the thirtieth floor with a sigh. When she got off the Elevator she ran into a broad white shirt, "omfh" she grunts and she leaps back ready to fall.

Suddenly two strong arms snaked around her waist and pull her up right, "Whoa" she says shaking her head and looking up to see a tall muscular blonde young man with blue eyes that were equal to Oliver's. He pulled himself away and asked "Are you alright Ma'am?" Felicity blinked a few times before replying "Yesssss... Are you new? I have never seen you around before... and I know I couldn't of missed someone like you. I mean it's rare for someone with your looks to be here dressed as a... security guard?" her eyebrows furrow in bewilderment.

He chuckles before replying " Yes I am new, just moved to Starling last week and I am the new head of security here at Queen Consolidated now that Mr. Matthews has relocated to another branch. My names Steven Rogers ma'am." he holds his hand out and she tentively shakes it before clearing her throat and introducing herself "I am Felicity Smoak... Oliver Queens executive assistance. It's nice to meet you Mr. Rogers and good luck with the new job. I have to be going."

Steve straightened and waved as she spun around and headed to her desk in a daze. Felicity took a few moments at her desk to collect and prioritize the wild thoughts surging through her mind. Finally about five minutes later she was back to her normal self and perfect timing as well since the elevator dinged and Oliver stepped out with two cups of coffee in hand. Felicity greeted him with a smile and said "Oliver you have a meeting in ten minutes with the board... And good morning"

He smirks passing her one of the Starbucks coffees to which she eagerly sipped and made a savoring face. "Good Morning Felicity and yes I am aware of the meeting which is why I was not late today. I noticed we have a new head of security." says Oliver with a impassive face. Felicity shrugs and Oliver enters his office to sign some paperwork before the impending meeting.

The day was long and tiring Oliver managed to go to the lair early but Felicity wasn't so lucky as she had a mountain of his paperwork to deal with. The executive assistance yawned as she typed up the last report and printed it in Oliver's office, she finally gathered her stuff and right as she was about to get into the elevator a voice startled her. "Why are you here so late Ms. Smoak? It's nearly mid night."

Felicity spun around to see a tired looking head of security standing there with a small smile on his face, she had her hand over her chest from the slight heart attack he just have her "Cheese! You scared me to death! A little warning would keep me from dying of a heart attack you know." she says crossing her arms and glaring at him. Steve frowns and puts his hands up in a surrendering manner "I didn't mean to scare you Ma'am. I am sorry." he said in a sincere tone. Felicity bit her bottom lip before replying "It's fine Steve... Have a good night." she enters the elevator and waves good bye as the doors close.

Steve smiles and is surprised that this smile is a genuine smile, he hasn't done one of those in months. Oliver calls Felicity a few minutes later.

Oliver- Felicity please tell me you are not still working at Queen Consolidated?

Felicity- Ermmm... I am not still working but I am still inside Queen Consolidated I am just heading out the door now.

Oliver- Felicity you need to get some rest... No lair tonight I will see you in the morning.

Felicity- Okay good night Oliver.

Felicity was walking to her car when she once again bumped into Steve, he laughed at her horrified face. "Ms. Smoak how do we keep running into each other?" he asks with a smile as she fidgeted "I don't know how but I can't say that it's a bad thing. I mean it could be running into another security guard who would either flirt or talk my ear off not that if you do any of that it's a bad thing or anything. And now I am talking your ear off with my babbling which will stop in three... Two... One." she says before finishing with a smack to her forehead.

Steve was trying extremely hard not to laugh so he decided to hide a chuckle and cough at the same time. He smiled at her blushing from embarrassment and rubbed the back of his neck and nervously said "You know if you aren't doing anything... Maybe we could get coffee sometime? " Felicity was surprised by the offer and bit her lip before deciding to respond "I wouldn't mind getting a cup of coffee sometime, we can schedule it tomorrow. It was nice running into you again Steve, I got to go see you tomorrow." She said with a slight shimmer of light in her eyes before going into her car and driving away as Steve got onto his motorcycle.

Felicity got to her home with a huge smile upon her face and a rapid heart beat as she just understood that perhaps Steve had just subtly asked her out on a date.
