Felicity's pov

Our plan was set, we should be able to get Lyla back and keep Nyssa with us, it will all work out. At least that's what I kept telling myself. We were walking into a warehouse full of league of assassin members and my brainwashed kind of boyfriend, what, we aren't officially dating so I don't know what to call him, anyway, I was trying to think of anything but my imminent death if the plan failed. Sure we had Thea as back up but still, too many things could go very wrong.

Digg, Nyssa, Laurel and I walked up together in a line into the dark warehouse. On the other side of the room was Oliver, surrounded by leave members. Nothing could have prepared me for what I felt when I saw him. Memories of that night came flooding to my mind, I could barely stay standing. There was this feeling in my stomach, I couldn't explain. But somehow I felt the baby in me when I saw Oliver I was overwhelmed with feeling. Anger, sadness, but most of all love. Somehow, I still loved him. He looked so angry and distant and nothing like my Oliver but I knew somehow it was still him, it had to be him, my Oliver. They had been talking but I didn't catch what they said, tears were falling down my face and I tried to get a hold of my emotions. In of the leave members was searching us and got to me. He couldn't reach me, it would ruin our plan. Not to mention how close he was to me I felt protective of the little human inside me.

"Don't you dare touch me." I said as hard and angry as I could manage. I looked at Oliver and he nodded. That gave me hope. Somewhere in him was still Oliver, there was still the man I loved and believed in. Somewhere in the confusion he had spared me being searched, an ordinary brainwashed assassins wouldn't do that, right? "Oliver, this isn't you. Look at me," I tried with all my willpower to get him to really hear me." I know you're still in there somewhere."

He almost completely brushed me off and instead looked at Nyssa. "Bind her." He ordered and to men walked over and grabbed Nyssa's arms." You are free to go" he released Lyla who ran straight to her husband. Nyssa was being taken to Oliver. This is where the plan comes in. Lyla walked over to me and grabbed the guns from the hidden holsters all while making it look like a hug.

"Now to the heir to the demon." Oliver's seemingly right hand man, Maesao I think his name was, told Nyssa.

"I bow to no one." Said Nyssa and all hell broke loose. Lyla turned around guns in her hands and shot two league members. Everyone began fighting except for me, that was part of the agreement of me being able to come. I would back away from the fighting as far and as fast as possible. Lyla and Laurel were fighting league members,Nyssa fought Maesao, but worse of all, Digg and Oliver were fighting to kill. Two of my best friends in the entire world, men I loved in two different ways, were ready to kill each other. Once the fighting commenced I saw we had no chance. Laurel was taken down first followed shortly by Nyssa. Then Lyla was on the ground and Nyssa was being taken away. I felt so incredibly useless, all my friends were being hurt and all I could do was sit back and watch it happen.

Then Digg was disarmed and stabbed. Oliver stood over Digg with a look of kill in his eyes. "You're still Oliver," Digg pleaded with him." I don't care if the hood is black or green, you're still you!" He was practically yelling. An arrow sprouted from Oliver's forearm. He grimaced and looked in the direction of the assailant along with everyone else.

Thea stood there, on top of a metal platform dressed in Roy's former suit. "Get away from him." She growled, almost like Oliver's "Arrow voice" and had another arrow ready to shoot. "Get away from him or the next one goes in your eye." Oliver cut the top of the arrow off of his arm and pulled the rest out. He walked away without saying another word. Once he was a safe distance away thea let down her bow and let out a deep breath. I ran to Digg but all any of us could do was sit in silence and shock, trying to let it all sink in.


It had been a couple of hours since the fight and I stood outside Thea's apartment. The door was hanging open

"Thea," I called and walked into her front room." Your door was open." I explained and closed the door behind me." Sorry to interrupt your staring into nothingness."

"He should have let me die." She said without looking up.

"That was never an option," I told her." That's why I love him."

"I didn't know about you and my brother, at least, until you told us that you're, you know," She said, motioning to my belly.

"Yeah, well, it was complicated. But I did love him, despite everything I still do." I said sitting next to her, feeling that she needed an explanation.

"I do to," she said, looking back out the window again." How is that even possible after what he's become?

"I don't know," I answered honestly." But I think john is right, I think we have to remember the best parts of him, and we have to move on." It was painfully for me to say but she needed to hear it.

She saw right through it." Are you trying to convince me, or yourself?" She got up and walked to the window.

"Both of us. I don't know how but we have to go on living. That's what Oliver, Ollie would want for you. To move on. To live. To be with the one you love while you still can."

"Roy is gone, so..."

I stood up and walked next to her." You have had a lot on your plate, and I've been trying to think of the right time to tell you this, Roy's alive we faked his death, it's a long story like most other faked death stories are, and we were going to tell you I promise but then you were busy being mostly dead and then Oliver signed on to be Darth Oliver and-" thea interrupted my babble.

"I don't-" she could barely talk. I pulled out a paper with his information on it and gave it to her.

"He's starting a new life, one that hopefully includes you in it." She unfolded the paper and stared at it." If you want it."

I walked out of the apartment leaving her to her own thoughts. I got in my car and started driving. My emotions got the better of me and tears came streaming down my face. Before I knew it I was parked behind the Verdant. I got out of the car and went into the back entrance of the foundry. I walked through the destruction until I couldn't take it. I sat down in a chair and just sobbed. I felt completely and utterly alone.
