Chapter Two: Why me?

My head was reeling. This beautiful woman must be about 6'0 in heels woman just told me that I was chosen to be an A.R.G.U.S agent. Yeah me that girl who is in her very early twenties and still has yet to have a conversation that wouldn't qualify me for foot in mouth disease; and Cooper let's not go there. I'm the girl who has gone through a vast majority of my life attempting to avoid anyone really looking to closely beyond the surface to see that I'm a complete insecure mess. Now the Amazon warrior woman is telling me that I can be a super secret government agent meant to provide aid to other people. Needless to say I think the prom queen has got the wrong girl. Once the fog cleared I responded and this was by far not my best moment but; still not my worst by a long shot.

"An A.R.G.U.S agent me? Really you have the wrong girl. I have spent almost twenty three years avoiding people, emotions and, really anything that could get messy. I can barely help myself what makes you think I can help anyone else?"

Rose looked me over with the soul searching eyes that I really wish would find another point to focus on other than my face. Her response was really what sealed the deal, her response was one of the three reasons that I actually agreed to this entire mess.

"Felicity you first have to calm down and take a deep breath. Secondly you tend to voice your thoughts so I would learn to chose your thoughts and words carefully. Thirdly this whole process is going to be explained in great detail so you will be making an informed decision. What I'm about to say is going to be hard to hear but it will help you make your decision."

I looked at her with fear and well shock. This woman was going to explain why I was hit by a car, brought to an underground facility and, why my hacker history was relevant. So I listened waiting to be told why they decided to blow my entire life apart.

"First off I'm not an Amazon again careful what you think." She chuckled slightly when she said the next part "I was however a prom queen." "Secondly you are so much more than the invisible girl. Most people live their lives with no real knowledge of what is to come. You my dear have not. You have always been aware of other's feelings, quirks, wants, needs, desires and, you are aware that life has a time table. You don't go through life unaware of the dangers you go through it very aware. You were abandoned by your father and raised by your cocktail waitress mother. You went to MIT and graduated at the top of your class. You're intellect along with your natural ability to read people is what makes you perfect for this job. We have a special mission that is going to require a special person to help us with."

"You want me to do what exactly build you a computer and then what babble my way through a meeting with some tall, dark stranger?"

"No Felicity we want you to completely entangle yourself into someone's life. We want you to watch, guide and, eventually make Oliver Queen join A.R.G.U.S for good this time."

Now imagine a cartoon where my mouth drops, the eyes bulge out and, I just sit there in a puddle of mass hysteria. They wanted me to entangle myself into Oliver Queen's life. The Oliver Queen the presumed dead for five years and, was stranded on some island for all that time Oliver Queen. Also did I mention he is now technically my boss or his mother is my boss or maybe it's Walter her husband who's my boss. I really don't know but the point is there is no way I'm getting anywhere near that family from my place in the mailroom. I mean I should be in the IT department but I sort of spilled coffee on Moria Queen and then made her marriage to Walter Steele seem like some Shakespearean play. Needless to say I was moved to the mailroom due to the fact that Walter found me extremely sweet and sincere despite my overall performance.

"You didn't hear about my interview performance did you?"

Rose replied with a swift "yes but we have some pull and you are being moved up to the IT department tomorrow."

"What, how, when are you fracking kidding me right now?"

"No Felicity I'm not and based on that answer I'm guessing that you're going to go ahead and agree to this arrangement?"

"Yes so what exactly do I have to do?"

"Simple get Oliver Queen to trust you with his secrets, with his life. Once that is done you must then convince him to join A.R.G.U.S. We need him to aid us in taking down a rather large covert agency that is hell bent on destroying the free world."

"Alright then um we have to what change my entire personality then?"

"No we have to change your outward appearance but your personality is going to be Mr. Queens ultimate undoing."

Remember I said I had three reasons for doing this well the makeover was reason one. Reason two was getting a job promotion out of mailroom and Jerry hell. The third reason I hadn't found yet. I wouldn't find that reason until Oliver walked into my brand new office with a bullet ridden laptop.

I'm so unbelievably screwed.
