A/N: I don't have much to say except I hope that you guys like the direction my story is going in and I REALLY miss Arrow! Enjoy!
Oliver woke up to the beeping of his heart monitor and the sterile smell of hospital. When he finally managed to get into a sitting position he noticed Roy sitting in a hospital chair next to him.
"So I see Sleeping Beauty is finally awake." Roy said jokingly but Oliver just shot him a look and he moved on.
"Look I know your upset she got kidnapped we all are, and we are doing everything to get her back. Okay?"
"Yeah I know." he said looking at Roy and noticing the way he had matured since he first met him. It was almost as if Roy was sort of becoming his brother, nonetheless Oliver would never admit it out loud.
"By the way, where is Digg?" Oliver asked but before Roy could answer Digg appeared.
"Getting coffee." Digg answered entering the room.
"So where are the papers to check out of here?" Oliver asked nonchalantly.
"You do know you got shot in the chest right?" Roy vocalized.
"Trust me he never stops." Digg said knowingly.
"I'm right here!" Oliver declared.
"Guys listen I have to save her…I can't fail her, not again." He said his voice cracking.
"We understand, but if you rip out your stiches it's your own fault." Digg voiced and Oliver gave him an almost non-existent smile in reply.
As Digg left to go get the nurse and Roy followed, Oliver felt a shift, like something bad was going to happen but before he got a chance to investigate he felt a pain in his neck and then there was darkness.
*Somewhere else in Starling City*
Felicity woke up to the taste of something metallic in her mouth. Oh wait, she thought that would be my blood. Her kidnappers weren't the kindest of people. Of course Felicity had tried to fight back but with a quick punch to the face and a sedative she didn't stand much of a chance.
She decided that she needed to assess her surroundings and when she did bile rose in her mouth.
There was a table with cuffs attached to it and an extended amount of weapons attached to the wall. She faced the reality that maybe she wouldn't get out of here alive, and that even if she did she wasn't so sure she could recover this time.
Once Oliver came around he found himself in a room strapped to a chair the room was completely empty but he figured that these people took him for a reason and if it was to torture him, he could withstand it just like he did on that island.
The door boomed open and three men all armed stepped through it pulling Oliver onto his feet and rushing him out of the room. They arrived at a similar room to Oliver's and when they stepped through the door his saw her.
"Felicity!" he shouted trying to break free of his guards but they were stronger and he was still coming off his drugs. They strapped him to the metal table and left.
"Oliver? What happened? Why are you here?" Felicity said quick and nervous.
"I was in the hospital and the all of the sudden everything went black. I'm so sorry Felicity…" he said he voice trembling with fear and that's not something he showed often and that broke her heart.
"Hey…it's going be okay…we're going be okay. We always come out on top, remember that." she said in a soothing voice.
He looked up at her in amazement, they were in the worst position they could be and she still had hope she still had light, a light he decided, that could never be put out.
His staring was interrupted when their cell door opened and shut loudly a man in all black appeared.
"Who are you?" Oliver said his voice loud in the small space.
The man pulled down his mask and there he was, Malcolm Merlyn.
"You son of bitch, you manipulator, you've caused so much destruction and death what could you possibly want?"
"I want you to pay for killing my son." At that Oliver winced but Felicity didn't flinch.
"You mean you killed your son, your own son! You're a sorry excuse for a father and trust me I would know!" Felicity said with as much ferocity as she could muster.
"Wow, the little IT girl standing up for hero, isn't that sweet." Malcolm said his fingers cascading down her face. Felicity yanked away from his touch and Oliver bit out in the most deadly voice she had ever heard, "If you touch her again, I swear you'll lose your hand."
"And that is exactly why I kidnapped you both, so that you could watch the one you hold so close suffer." Malcolm said raising his blade to Felicity's abdomen.
"NO! NO! PLEASE DO IT TO ME!" Malcolm smirked as he turned to face Oliver.
"I knew you would say that, it would be my pleasure actually."
As Malcolm prepared his weapons, Felicity whispered to Oliver, "Why are you doing this?"
He whispered back, "I wasn't there to save you last time but this time I am and I will be."
"But you already have so many scars…" she said her eyes watering.
"I'd take all the scars in the world for you." he said his voice true.
Malcolm was standing over Oliver now a sword in his hand, it readied at Oliver's side.
"Felicity just close your eyes okay?" Oliver told her determination in his voice.
And as Oliver's screams flooded the room around her she closed her eyes tight and let the tears flow.
