Chapter 6

This is for the reviewer Highlander348 I like some of your ideas, and I will incorporate the ones that I feel align with my vision. And as always plz review, I can never have to much advice on where to lead the story

Felicity's POV…

I wake up, looking around I see the clock says it is 9:30 AM, in shock, I realize that I slept the whole night without a nightmare. Looking down at the reason for that, I can't help but stare at the man I love, wanting nothing more than to wake him up for round to.

A knock shakes me out of my thoughts, and I see Oliver jerk awake, looking around, his happy gaze meets mine, you can tell the relief when he sees me, like he thought It was all just a dream. He looks at me and says in a sexy sleep voice, says, "hey beautiful how did you sleep." Unable to help my self, I lean down, kissing him. I deepen the kiss, forgetting about the knock on the door, until I hear Theas voice say, "guys wake up we have to bring Felicity back from the dead."

Oliver pulls away, making a face at what his sister said, and says, "okay Speedy we'll be down in a minute."

We here footsteps walking away as well as Thea grumbling about, "hating that nickname, and wanting to never be called it again."

Getting off the bed I look at Oliver and ask, "so were are my other cloths that are court appropriate." Oliver walks over to the closet and opens it. Inside is all of my old cloths, it looks like they haven't been touched since I went missing. Feeling touched I go up behind him and hug him, kissing his back. Oliver turns around in my embrace, and puts his arms around me. He kisses my head, and then just lays his lips there, like he needs that contact.

Dreading going to court to recount my past five years, I pull away, going to the closet to grab some cloths, and head to the bathroom to shower.

And hour later…

If felicity thought she had remembered what the craze of paparazzi was like, she was wrong. It was a sea of people closing in on her, tripping her. Too many lights. She was vaguely aware of Oliver in front of her, Diggle (her body guard that she met right before we headed to the court) at her side trying to block the madness. She nearly tripped on the way up the steps, grasping desperately for Oliver's jacket and he nearly carried her up them the rest of the way. When he paused to set her back on her feet right inside the door, she could see the panic in his eyes, but she wasn't sure if it was for her safety or for fear of having to here what happened to her.

It all happened in a blur. Thea sat on the front row in a maroon, graphic print dress with a supportive smile beside Moira and Walter and Oliver.

It was almost worse, having to talk about Robert's death in front of all of them. She rushed through her statement as fast but as sincere as she could. Every time she turned over their faces were filled with pity and sadness.

Felicity forced herself to stay present, shaking as she walked out of court after they revived her, memories flooding faster than she could handle them, the crowd just to much.

She ripped her arm from Thea's grasp, tugging at her shirt to find the ring she wore underneath it, thinking about how much torture she had been put through, while she begged to keep her ring that Oliver had gave her. Nobody would ever know how much pain she went through, it would hurt them to much.

Looking over I see Laurel give us the stink eye, I roll my eyes, and Thea seeing this, laughs.

Their trip to the car was interrupted by Martin Summer's impromptu press release on the court house steps. She knew she should have taken the paparazzi's distraction to get to the car, but she was frozen in place, hearing him defend his actions which caused the Glades to go to hell because of his greed. His name was on the list Robert gave her, and she would make sure he got what he deserved for his wrong doing. She had to get away to figure out a plan, and set up her lair she would need for her costume.

When Summer's moved to leave she used the swarming paparazzi as a distraction and jumped in the car, begging the driver to speed ahead.

Oliver's POV…..

I sat in shock as I saw Felicity jump in the car and leave all of us behind. Knowing the paparazzi was overwhelming was the only way to comprehend what had just happened. Hearing Tommy and Thea laugh I forced myself to move, looking over at Felicity's body guard Diggle, I couldn't help but feel amused, seeing his shocked and annoyed look. Wondering how many times that is going to happen to him I make a note to myself to give this guy a raise.
