A/N: Sorry for the delay. The past couple of weeks have been crazy busy. Here's a new chapter. Let me know what y'all think and let me know what you guys want to see happen. This is going to be a slow-burn for sure. Oliver still has Sara (but their relationships will see many troubles) and Felicity will have a different guys in her life but it will eventually be Oliver/Felicity in the end.

Roy let out a frustrated sigh. "I thought this would be easier." A few hours later, he was attempting to master archery, as Felicity sipped on a blood bag and amusingly watched. She giggled and Roy threw her a death glare. Ollie had been gone for a while now and everyone had come back to the foundry.

"You think eventually I'd hit something," Roy said after shooting another arrow.

"Be patient, Ollie makes it look easy," Sarah said while twirling her bo-staff.

Dig came back with big belly burger. "I brought food for all those humans down here." He poked fun at Felicity. She stuck her tongue out.

Her phone started to ring and she saw it was Oliver calling. She answered immediately. "Oliver? Hello? I do think we have been butt dialed," She put the call on speaker.

"And here is a Joseph Cooper from 1890…" Thea's voice rang through the call.

Roy smiled at his girlfriend's voice. "Hey that's Thea."

An unknown voice called through the phone. "That's gorgeous…"

Sara stopped pacing. "Wait, hold on," She took a few steps forward. "I know that voice."

"I actually have a painting from his first solo exhibition in Boston," the same unknown voice said through he phone.

Sara froze. "Oh god no." Dig asked who it was. "His name is Slade Wilson. And unless we stop him, he's going to kill Oliver and his entire family."

"So what's the plan," Felicity asked tossing the now empty blood bag into the trashcan.

Roy was throwing on his clothes while Sara was asking Diggle for his biggest gun.

Felicity watched. "How can I help?"

Sara turned to Felicity. "I need you here Felicity, for now. This thing you're going through, becoming a vampire – it's new. You still need training. We need you at the computer. Figure out where they are in that mansion."

Felicity wondering when Sara became the boss, but decided to stay quiet. "I can do that."

The Next Day

"Concentrate Felicity," Damon whispered behind her. He wanted her to hone in on her hearing skills.

She felt like her mind had five hundred things on it. Slade Wilson was alive and they didn't kill him. Instead everyone came back to the foundry pulled down and scared. Dig had a concussion, Roy was worried about Thea and Oliver had the world on his shoulders, yet again.

*Flashback*

"Are we just not going to talk about what just happened?" Felicity asked breaking the silence. She handed an icepack to Dig. He put it against his head. "I was on the comm, what promise?"

"He's stronger than me. He almost broke my hand with that hand shake," Roy said breaking the silence.

"But is he stronger than me?" Felicity asked. "I can help."

Oliver finally spoke up. "No. Nobody's helping. This is between Slade and I. It started with the two of us. It's going to end with the two of us. You will not be finding out if he's stronger than you." He turned to Sara. "What the hell were you thinking Sara? Showing up like that. Did you see his face?"

He took three steps toward her. "He's going to come after you to hurt me."

"Let him. I'm not the same girl on that island Ollie." She twirled her bo-staff in her arms and smirked. "I'm not that easy to kill."

"I don't care. You aren't going to be involved in this fight." Oliver said in his Arrow voice.

* End Flashback*

After that team meeting, Felicity had told Digg she needed a Team Arrow break for a few days and Dig agreed. Oliver was in his own world and Sara was trying to find a way to get him to stop pushing her away, so nobody would miss her.

Damon's hand touched her ribcage before moving down to her waist. He whispered from behind her into her ear. "You're not even trying."

Felicity let out an exasperated sigh. She let out a small smile. "How am I supposed to be doing this," she groaned. "When all I can concentrate on is how your hands are on me."

Damon twirled her around so she was facing him. "When you become a vampire, your emotions are heightened, and your personality as well. Actually everything is heightened. Taste. Smell. Sight. Touch."

He touched her. Whispered these things in her ears, leaving light kisses on her temple.

"When you're a vampire, you fell like you can do anything, be anyone. Beautiful things are more beautiful. You love more powerfully. Anger becomes rage. When you're sad, you're in despair. Grief. Loss. It can cripple you. That's why so many vampires turn off their humanity and all the emotions that come with it."

His hands grabbed her waist and pushed her against the wall, their bodies smashing together. She could feel him, hard against her. "Or you can learn to control it."

Felicity bit her lip and groaned at their contact. "So how do I control it?"

"Right now, you don't."

Damon leaned down and roughly captured her lips. She gasped. She had been kissed so many times before but this time it felt different. She let his hand roam her body, with every touch sparking a fire in her core. He cupped her breast over her sports bra and squeezed. She squeaked out. He quickly, using vampire speed had her out of her clothes. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around him, reveling in the feeling of his hardness against her center.

He sped them over to his bed in his hotel room before dropping her down. She giggled. "How is it that I am completely naked and you are fully clothed?"

Damon lazily smirked. "I've been doing this for a lot longer than you doll."

Felicity's eyes narrowed and she used her strength and flipped them. She tore his shirt open and dropped kissing on his chest. She had his pants off in seconds and smirked. "Now… we're even."

Damon flipped her again, wanting the control and took in her beauty. He kissed her softly before moving his lips down her neck and to her breasts. She had never felt so alive and confident as she did now. He kept moving down kissing her stomach and stopping at the now soaked lace panties. With one movement he had torn those too. Felicity yelled out, "I liked those. They were expensive!"

He placed a kiss on her inner thigh and he smiled to himself when he felt her hips buck in anticipation. "I'll buy you new ones."

He once again lowered his head and placed a kiss on her warm awaiting center. He did it again more firmly when Felicity let out a loud moan. He used his tongue to part her fold before taking her now sensitive bud into his mouth and sucking on it. Felicity let out a breathy "fuck." It was too long before her hips once again bucked and Felicity screamed out his name during her orgasm – the most intense orgasm she has had before. She came down and Damon was kissing her again. Her tongue begged for entrance and she could taste her in his mouth. She pulled away and her hand went down to his length. "My turn?"

Damon shook his head. "No. I need to be in you."

Felicity smiled. "Good." He lowered himself to her entrance and in one instant he pushed down and entered her. She gasped. Her nails dug into his back and she bit her lip. She finally adjusted to his size and nodded to him. She let out a deep breath as she felt him begin his movement. It took everything in her not to scream out in pleasure. It felt that good. She brought her hands to his lower back and pushed him down bringing him in deeper.

Damon took that as his cue to speed up. He went faster and deeper, maybe throwing in a little vampire speed in there. His hand went in between them and found her swollen nub. She could feel herself nearing her end once again. It was close and she could already taste it. She clenched her muscles around him causing him to stop. "Fuck Felicity," he moaned. He dove into her two more times while she clenched her muscles around him, before she found her release. He groaned before shuttering and releasing himself. He kissed her lightly and she placed her hand on the back of his head, running her fingers through his hair.

His phone began to ring. He smiled before rolling over and grabbing the phone and pressing ignore.

Felicity's mind was clear, content. That lasted for only about 10 seconds before her mind went back into overdrive. "Well that was great. I mean like amazing sex. Not that I wasn't expecting that – from a few hundred old vampire. How old are you anyways? God. That's a rude thing to ask. Sorry. I just… this isn't me you know. Normally I don't sleep with guys I've known for less than a week. I thought we were going to train, not do the dirty deed. Not that I minded. God I just need to shut up, why are you making me shut up?"

Damon chucked. "You're so sexy when you rant. Let's train. And this time I mean actually train to control your new vampire senses and emotions," He stood up and grabbed his boxer briefs. "Maybe I'll even show you what I can do with a sword and I don't mean my dick, since you already know that."

He winked and Felicity blushed.

They trained. For three straight days. Team Arrow was staying below the radar on everything because of Slade. Oliver and Sara were doing recon (she's guessing they made up) and had already told Felicity many times to stay out of it for now. Diggle was with ARGUS and what they were calling the suicide squad and Roy was on Thea duty. During that time, she learned from Damon – all she could. And they did the dirty deed, as Felicity liked to call it, many more times. He taught her how to control her emotions so she wouldn't have to turn them off.

She was lying in bed next to him and traced invisible code onto the sheets as he slept. He opened one eye and said, "You know, watching me sleep is creepy."

She took a deep sigh. "Your phone has been ringing for the past three days, non-stop. You haven't answered a single call."

He shrugged and grinned. "It's not important. Spending time with you is much more fun."

Felicity blushed. Her time with Damon had been fun but it was time to tell him what she had discovered today. "Well, I kind of looked at the missed call list. Apparently Stefan has called you the most. And today, today you have like 30 missed calls from Elena."

Damon stilled. Felicity continued. "I think you should call her back. So I lied. I didn't just look at the missed calls. I read a few text messages… from her. She texted saying someone named Katherine possessed her body and that everything was you was real. She said she loves you. She said to come home."

"And I know what you're thinking, personal things, but I didn't touch your phone. Just hacked into it… from my tablet. Which is also a personal violation but when I saw that Elena had been the one calling you, I thought that one of us should get the happy ending you know?

He had gotten up in the middle of her rant and was now scrolling through the messages he had ignored. Felicity had in vampire speed, gotten dressed and grabbed her stuff. She stopped in front of Damon who has his finger hovering over a contact in his phone. She was sure it was Elena.

"Thank you. For all of this, making me feel alive, giving me strength, teaching me," She dropped a kiss on his forehead. "Go to her Damon. Tell her you love her. Go get the love of your life."

She began walking away and Damon sped over to her, cutting off her exit. "Thank you Felicity." He kissed her on the cheek. He shook off his leather jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. "Keep it. You're remarkable."

"So I've been told. Goodbye Damon," She whispered as she walked away. She wrapped the leather jacket around her. She would miss him.

She was back in the foundry. Dig was still on a mission with ARGUS and Oliver was on his own suicide mission of trying to find Slade.

She was alone, with Sarah and Roy nowhere in sight. She grabbed Oliver's bow. Damon and taught her what he knew about swords, knives and using her fangs as a weapon, but he knew nothing about shooting a bow and arrow.

She grabbed and arrow and drew it back. She pointed it at the target and let go. The arrow flew and landed in the outermost circle. She practiced a few more times, getting closer to the target each time. She heard the foundry door open and she set down the bow immediately and ran back to her computer.

Oliver walked in wearing jeans and a brown jacket, obviously frustrated. He dropped a gun on the table and sighed. Felicity cleared her throat making him jump. "Jesus Felicity, what are you doing down here?"

"I searched every money, bank, anything account possible for traces of Slade. Nothing. Then this morning I thought, who would have the most information on Slade… ARGUS obviously. But they don't know its Slade. They've been calling him Deathstroke," Felicity pulled up all the files she had looked up while she was away for three days. "Yes I hacked into ARGUS. It was really hard. Be glad I don't actually need sleep anymore. I mean I still enjoy it, but my body doesn't need it to survive. So he's a mercenary and has left a trail of bodies all the way to Starling City."

Oliver looked at the screens, his eyes skimming the files she had up. "I hate to say it Oliver, but I could only get the surface files. I'd have to get closer to their system to get everything… unless you talked to Amanda Waller… which you could. Dig's working with them now, and I'm sure they'd help us out, if it meant taking down Slade."

Oliver turned to her let out a small smile. "I'm glad your new… um… lifestyle hasn't affected your rambling."

Felicity turned around in her chair to face him. "You know you can say it… the word… it won't kill you. Here say it with me. Vam-pi-re. And actually your personality is magnified when you turn so you guys better get used to this rambling. Okay, so let's say it again. Vam-pi-re."

She annunciated every syllable. Oliver looked down. "Yeah. You're a…" He paused and she mouthed out the word to him. "Vampire. Wow. That is going to take some getting used to saying. And you without glasses, another thing that will take getting used to."

His eyes went the arrows sticking out of the wall. "Sara come by here?"

Felicity nodded her head no. "That was me." She said gesturing toward the target with arrows in it.

Oliver whipped his head around with shock. Before he could comment on anything Sara and Roy came into the foundry.

"Smoak it's good to see you," Roy said with excitement. "How's your new life treating you?"

"Awesome. Damon taught me some awesome new things. I could probably beat all of you in a fight now…"

"Hey now, let's not get too cocky," Sara replied.

"… at once," Felicity finished her sentence. She let out a small smirk at Sara's comment.

"Do you want to spar?" Sara asked taking off her sweatshirt.

Felicity jumped up with excitement. Roy took Felicity's place in the computer chair and spun around to Oliver. "20 dollars on Felicity," Roy exclaimed.

Oliver rolled his eyes. He watched as Felicity grabbed a rubber band and tied her hair up into a ponytail. He leaned against the medical table ready to watch. He was curious how this new change affected Felicity. He was so used to seeing his IT girl behind a computer, it was weird to see her take a fighting stance.

"No using your fast speed, that's cheating," Sara said as she grabbed two bo-staffs and tossed one to Felicity. "Can you handle this?"

Felicity laughed. "Sure sure. Come one Canary – let's see what you got. Just don't stick it through my heart."

Sara laughed before she attacked. Oliver watched with interest. The bo-staff's were Sara's expertise but he watched as Felicity blocked every single hit, easily. She let Sara take the offence and attack until finally it looked like she got bored.

Felicity twirled the bo-staff before striking hard and fast, causing Sara's staff to break in half. Sara looked in shock for a second before recovering. Felicity smirked and went into attack mode again, knocking the two halves out Sara's hand leaving her weapon less.

Felicity let her staff fall, and turned to the group. "So who's next?"

Sara, who was recovering from the shock at being beat by her own weapon, shrugged and said quietly, "Guess we're going to have to take you with us more now."

Oliver tensed at that. From what just happened, Felicity could handle herself, but the idea of her outside in the field still scared him. "My turn?" Roy said jumping up.

Oliver grabbed him by his hood. "Maybe later." He turned around to Felicity. "I think I'll just pay Amanda Waller a visit. Sara mentioned getting all the help we can and I think ARGUS can help."

Oliver grabbed his suit and went to go hood up. When he came back out, he saw Felicity and Roy sparring, hand to hand. Roy's strength was pretty much on par with Felicity but she was faster. Roy had picked her up to throw her down but she wrapped her legs around his middle and flipped him before he had the chance. She got up and jabbed him in the throat sending him to the floor.

Oliver shook his head, not knowing if he would get used to this dynamic. Felicity, out there fighting. All he knew what that no matter how much strength she had now, he still wouldn't let Slade anywhere near her. He walked out of the club in search of Amanda Waller.

Oliver came back later to find Felicity dressed in a simple bright orange dress wrap dress. She was on her computer lost in something. "No more working out?" he asked putting his bow down. He took off his mask and pushed his hood off.

Felicity shook her head. "Nope. Roy and Sara are working upstairs and I thought I'd see if I get any hits on Slade, but nothing so far," Felicity sat back with a sigh. "Will Amanda Waller help, because I've hit a dead end…"

"Yeah. ARGUS will help us locate him," Oliver's eyes went to her cleavage peeking out from her dress. He diverted his eyes immediately and unzipped his hood. He grabbed his t-shirt from a bag and threw it on.

An awkward silence took over the room and finally Felicity stood up. "So are we going to talk about this?"

Oliver's face softened and he leaned against the medical table. He looked pull down and she realized probably hasn't been sleeping well. He whispered, "You really scared me. You died. I had your blood all over me…"

Felicity saw his eyes water and engulfed him in a hug. "Hey, I'm here, I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."

Oliver relaxed into the hug. They stayed like that for a few minutes. Felicity never thought about how her dying would affect Oliver. She took a deep sigh and brought up the elephant in the room.

"Are we going to talk about the "V" word?" Felicity asked.

Oliver pulled away and pushed her hair behind her ear. He looked like he was thinking before finally saying, "I don't care. Human, vampire, whatever. You're still my girl. That's all that matters."

Tears formed in Felicity's eyes. "Thank you." Felicity quickly wiped her tears. Oliver and her were still partners, friends and he doesn't care that she's a vampire.

Felicity went back to her computer. "But we wouldn't be Team Arrow if we didn't have another problem. Oliver, look at who was arrested tonight."

Oliver looked at the newsfeed on her computer. "Frank Bertinelli."

Felicity nodded. "So on top of Slade, we're going to have your psycho ex-girlfriend coming into town for vengeance. It is just matter of time."

"Crap."

Felicity giggled. "So are you going to introduce your new mask wearing girlfriend to your old psycho ex mask wearing girlfriend?"

Oliver gave her a deadpanned look. "You're finding this too amusing. We have to stop Helena as soon as she comes into town. Keep an eye out for her on the streets and keep an eye on Frank's case."

Felicity nodded and kept smiling. "So have you told Sara about her?"

Oliver jumped on the salmon ladder and starting going at it. Felicity twirled in her chair to watch him. "I'll take that as a no."
