This idea wouldn't leave me alone since I saw the stills of Emily in "Soldiers of the Apocalypse". I've also had the idea of Felicity killing in order to save Oliver's life for a while now… This is the result.
An "Arrow" AU in which Oliver is taken captive and Felicity takes action:
"Felicity what are you doing?!" Thea's worried exclamation echoed through the living room, causing everyone else to look at the blonde in question.
"What does it look like?" Felicity replied with a determined face as she fastened the Kevlar vest around her torso. She'd found it in the room that was used by the security guards.
Next she pulled the hair tie from her wrist and tied her hair back in a ponytail.
"Felicity," Thea repeated, the tone of her voice almost begging and Felicity didn't need to look at her to know that she was about to cry.
"I'm going to get Oliver." Felicity declared, her tone leaving no place for arguments as she pulled the gloves on her hands.
"I'm coming with you." Was Roy's automatic response.
"No," Felicity said, making eye contact with him since they'd lost Oliver. "You're staying Digg incapacitated, you need to protect them." she motioned towards Thea, Moira and Walter.
"Oliver would never forgive himself if anything happened to his family and neither will I for that matter." she added, turning her back to him and marching up to her bag.
"What about you?" Moira asked, speaking for the first time since Oliver left.
He'd finally told his family about his other identity. He was left with no choice seeing as they were all in danger and the only way to keep them safe was to have them all in one place. Hence, the reason they set up camp in the Mansion. The small army of guards they had on their disposal could come in handy.
"There is no me without Oliver." Felicity said in a somber tone, briefly glancing at Moira.
With that she took the gun Digg insisted she carry, put it in the holster and walked towards the front door.
Oliver was in danger, probably hurt, or tortured.
There was no choice to make.
