When Felicity finally woke up, her head was throbbing , her mouth was dry and she could feel the panic raising inside of her. She tried to move but soon figured it was impossible because her hands and legs were tied tightly to a chair, she opened her eyes, but that didn't help her much since her kidnappers decided to take off her glasses. So now not only was she immobile, scared and hurting, she was also blind as a bat. "Bravo, kidnappers" she thought sarcastically.
Felicity spent what she thought was few hours in the dark, blurry to her, room alone which changed when she heard someone unlock the door, and she was praying that that someone was Oliver, but knowing her recent luck, she knew it was one of her kidnappers.
"Who is there? What do you want from me?" She tried to sound firm but her voice was cracking due to how scared she was.
"Oh, I see you like to go straight to the point, don't you? Well, okay then. You know who I am, just dig into your memories, your FEARS."
His voice was digitally modified, but it was much darker and scarier than what Oliver used as Arrow. When he stepped in front of Felicity, his face just inches away from hers, she saw his mask. His mask made him look like. Felicity's blood froze and her face lost all of its colour. It made him look like Scarecrow because that's what he is. He is that psycho that drugged her and threatened her team.
"So you figured it out. Smart girl."
"What do you want from me? Wha-what did I-I ever do to you?" Her voice was full of fear and she just wasn't able to hide it anymore. He laughed at the sound of her voice filled with fear, and his laugh, which was even creepier because of the modifier, echoed through the room.
"We'll get to that. And you didn't do anything to me."
"Th-then why are you doing this to m-me?"
"Because you still "mean" something to Oliver Queen, or Arrow whatever. Because he still didn't throw you away to the "used" bin."
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Her voice was steady as much as it could be, she didn't want to give him the satisfaction, even though she was now full blown panicking because he knows, he knows Oliver's secret.
"Oh you know exactly what I'm talking about." He laughed. "That is what Oliver does. He cares about someone, or pretends to care anyway, and then uses them. And when he's done with them, when there is nothing left of that person, just sadness, darkness, no life in them, he throws them away like some garbage. And you are his current little pet. He is just using you. I mean think about it. Do you really think that Oliver would keep you if you lost your computer skills? Do you really believe you will mean something to him if he finds another, better, hacker?" Felicity finally gave in and started crying. She wasn't able to hold it anymore. "What do you think will happen when he decides you are more of a liability than you are a partner? Let me tell you what will happen. He will throw you away and forget you ever existed. He will find some other person to use, and you will be left alone, used and broken, knowing you meant nothing to him, knowing he abandoned you, just like your father did years ago."
"Stop! Please, just stop!" Felicity cried out. He was just playing with her, that's it. It's what he does. He gets into people's minds and messes with them. Felicity tried to hold onto those thoughts, the thoughts that he was just playing with her mind, and everything he said was just a lie.
"What? Can't handle a little truth? I actually pity you. You seem so innocent. But I guess that's what Oliver goes for. Sweet innocent girls and then he turns them into broken, used dolls."
"You're wrong. You don't know him." She cried out.
"We'll see about that. I just hope you'll get away from him before he breaks you completely, and while you still have your dignity."
"You don't know anything about him, or me."
"Are you trying to convince me? 'Cause it sounds like you are trying to convince yourself and if you are so sure that you mean something to him, why would you need convincing?"
"Don't let him get to you. Don't let him get to you." Felicity thought. "He is trying to get to you, Felicity. Don't let him win, don't let him get to you. You're stronger." She encouraged herself. But this, what he was doing was brilliant, she couldn't deny that, he was torturing her without leaving a visible scar or bruises. "You sure bark a lot for someone that doesn't bite. Not that I would want to be bitten, I'm not that kind of a person, but I don't judge if someone is. And not that I'm comparing you to a dog. It's the saying." She started rambling. "Great, babble him to death, Smoak, great plan." Even if she did babble because she was scared and nervous she knew she wasn't going to crack that easily. She knew Oliver, he wouldn't just throw her away, would he? He would never replace her, right?
"Do you ever shut up? Oh, and sweetheart, I can bite, believe me." Once again his laughter echoed through the entire room, this time sending a shiver down Felicity's spine.
She didn't even get the chance to respond before he came behind her and she felt a prick in her neck before darkness took her.
When Felicity woke up again, she wasn't tied anymore and when she opened her eyes she saw everything clearly. And most importantly she was in her apartment. She didn't even get the chance to take a look in the mirror before she left her apartment and started running to the one place she felt most secured. The foundry.
She started crying and shaking somewhere on her way to the foundry when all the memories came to her. She felt like someone punched her in the gut when she remembered everything Scarecrow told her about Oliver, and how in a split second she believed him. She griped the wheel of her car so hard that her knuckles turned white.
When she finally got to the foundry, she whipped her tears but that didn't do much because she still kept on crying and trembling. She took a deep breath and punched in a code and as soon as the doors were open she heard Oliver voice, actually she was pretty sure the whole town heard his voice since he was shouting.
"She wasn't there! Find her!"
As soon as Oliver said those words he heard the foundry doors being opened and he turned immediately his fists in front of him, ready to attack. But to his surprise there wasn't a threat at the door, there was Felicity. He took a second to look at her, she was beautiful even though her mascara was smudged all over her face, her eyes were red, puffy and full of fear and there were still tears running down her cheeks, her hair was a mess, she was shanking violently and her wrists were red and bloody because of the rope she was tied with, but she was still so beautiful to him. He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard her sob and he was next to her in a second. He hugged her tightly like he was afraid to ever let her leave his arms.
"What happened? Are you okay? Are you hurt? What did he do to you?" Oliver whispered.
"He didn't do anything. He just said some things to me and then he, uhm, he let me go." Felicity started sobbing again and she felt her knees give up under her but Oliver didn't let her fall, he just hugged her tighter.
"Hey, you're safe now. Let's get you home, okay?" He said as softly as he could.
Afraid that her voice will break, she just nodded.
Hello :) So chapter 6 is up yeey :)
First of I'm so so so sorry it took me this long to update I wasn't really feeling well and i had to go to doctor's appointments and stuff so yeah I'm so really sorry. Life keeps getting in the way of my fanfiction :P
Second would like to say thank you all so much for the support it means so so so much to me and you always make me happy with your follows, faves and of course reviews thankkkkk youuuuu :D
So a question from Jommy26: question in this story did scarecrow start out in Gothom like in the batman many incarnations of frachise I only ask because I'm surpised when Felicity checked up on him Arkam Asylum or his name and his AKA as the Scarecow didn't pop up in her little check?
I'm answering it here in case someone else had the same question. So scarecrow in this didn't start out in Gotham, although he worked in Gotham and one character will learn something interensting from his past in Gotham in upcoming chapters *spoiler alert* but he didn't start out his drug thingy in Gotham so he never met Batman and was never in Arkham Asylum. I hope that answers your question ;)
Also I hope this chapter was okay (see how i didn't say i hope i didn't disappoint you this time, well now i techically did but i didn't like i said it, you know) anyway i hope you liked it :) and tell me what do you think ;)
*hugs you all*
Hana :)
