(Here's chapter 7. Hope it's okay...)

Roy and Diggle walked into Felicity's hospital room. "Hey Felicity, how are you feeling?" asked Diggle smiling.

"Sore and very tired." Felicity replied.

Digg just nodded smiling. "You're a tough soldier Felicity. Anyone who can fight back to life after being tortured to death is definitely a powerful person in my book."

Felicity smiled. "Thanks John."

"I'm so glad we found you when we did." Roy said to her. "We were all worried sick about you."

"Thank you Roy. It feels good to be with you guys again. I didn't think I'd ever see you all again.."

Oliver frowned when he heard those words come out of Felicity's mouth. It made him feel worse inside knowing that he could have done something to stop all this from happening, but he was too late. "We're always here for you Felicity, and we will always be there for you no matter what."

She looked up at Oliver and smiled so sweetly.

Her smile lit his heart up every time.

The door opened up again and this time it was a doctor. "Hello Miss Smoak, how are you feeling?"

"Like I told them, I feel sore and very tired."

"Yeah I figured that. Those pain meds you're on should be knocking a majority of the pain away."

Felicity thought that if she's feeling sore now she does not want to know how she will feel once the medication wears off.

"Okay Miss Smoak I think we're going to keep you in here for another night or two. We'll see how you're feeling tomorrow. If you're showing improvements then you are welcome to go home, but if not we would like you to stay one more night."

Felicity slightly nodded while listening to him.

The doctor smiled at her and walked out.

Felicity sunk into her pillow. She had a very exhausted look on her face along with sadness mixed with it.

Oliver, Diggle, and Roy all saw it in her face. She was not well at all.

"Is there anything we can get you?" Diggle asked her.

"Mmmm… I wouldn't mind a Big Belly Burger later."

Diggle smiled and gave her a thumbs up assuring her that she will get one later.

They all stuck around with her for about an hour, but Diggle needed to take care of some things before he went home to Lyla and Sara for the night. He told Felicity that he would be back around seven o Clock with her food.

Roy told Oliver that he was going to go out on patrol. They both left looking back at her.

Oliver did not go anywhere. He stayed with Felicity.

"Aren't you going to go out with Roy and watch over the city?"

"No. Roy's got it covered. He's getting a lot better at this hero thing."

"I know he is."

Oliver grinned.

They sat there in silence for a few minutes.

"Oh!" Oliver said remembering something. "I found these…" he pulled out Felicity's glasses. "I found them… on the floor at the warehouse." He almost had trouble bringing it up again. "They were dirty and almost broken, but I cleaned them up and tightened the screws." He stood up and placed the glasses on her face.

Felicity's vision became a lot clearer. "Oh that's better."

"Good." Oliver smiled reaching over and grabbing her hand again in his. He tried to make small conversations, but Felicity was just out of it. Her pain meds were making her feel groggy. Soon she drifted off to sleep.

Oliver could not keep his eyes off her. She looked so peaceful when she was sleeping. He was so glad that she was right there in front of him alive and safe. He continued sitting there holding her hand.

A few hours went by and Felicity woke up slowly. She looked around at her surroundings. She noticed Oliver was not in the room with her. She was all alone. The clock on the wall was ticking loud. She looked up to see that it was few minutes after seven. There was a knock at the door. Her mind instantly remembered that Diggle said he would be there around seven with food.

"Come in." she said calling out at the door.

The door opened up slowly. Felicity could see a tall figure walk into the room. This figure did not belong to Diggle.

"You didn't think you would escape me huh blondie?" said a dark evil raspy voice.

Felicity knew that voice…. It was Blade. He was alive…but how? She wondered.

He pulled out two of his biggest knives and ran right at her swinging them. "You'll die tonight for sure you bitch!"

Felicity scrunched up trying to avoid his attacks. "No…No! Leave me alone!" she screamed. All she could hear was his insane laughter.

"Felicity!...Felicity!...FELICITY!" Oliver yelled.

"NO!" she screamed shooting straight up out of her hospital bed.

Oliver stood up looking at her with a very worried look on his face.

She looked up at him breathing heavily. Her whole body was tensed up.

"Felicity?" he said softly and in a concerned worried voice. "What happened?"

She was out of breath. "I… nothing. Just a bad dream I guess."

Oliver knew it she was having a nightmare. He saw the way her body moved and tensed up while she slept. Her breathing patterns were going crazy and she was mumbling in her sleep.

He placed a hand on her shoulder letting her know that everything was okay and that he was there with her.

"Sorry…" she said trying to breathe normally now. She sunk back into her pillow and took a deep breath.

She sat there in silence staring off into space. She jumped back into reality when Diggle came walking in. Felicity slightly jumped when she saw the door open though, but relaxed when she saw that it was only Digg.

"Hey hey pretty lady. Here's your dinner!" He grabbed a hospital tray and placed the big bag of food on it sitting it down over her lap.

She sniffed the bag and could smell the goodness of the burger that sat inside.

"Thank you John. I'm starving!"

She opened her bag and started eating her food. She ate the burger fast. Someone was really hungry.

After about twenty minutes she finished eating and felt stuffed. "That was good."

Oliver and Digg smiled at her.

"Well I would stay longer, but I promised Lyla I would get home somewhat early tonight."

"It's okay John. I understand. Tell Lyla and little Sara I said hi." Felicity said.

"I will" Diggle walked up and hugged Felicity. "See you guys tomorrow." He walked out the door.

The room grew silent again. Felicity just looked around at the stuff on the floor. Oliver just kept his eyes on her. He was still very worried.

Felicity finally spoke up and said, "Why don't you go home and get some sleep? I'm sure you must be very tired after today."

"I would, but I don't want to leave you alone."

"I'll be alright." She lied. Truthfully she did not want him to leave, but she felt bad that he just kept sticking around just for her."

"No you won-

"It's okay Oliver. I'll be fine. I'm in a hospital…I'm not really going to be left alone. Besides…even heroes need their beauty sleep."

Oliver felt defeated. There was no point in arguing with her, but he really did not want to leave her sight. He sighed and slumped his shoulders down looking at the floor. "Okay…" he said. He walked up to her lifting up both her hands this time in his. He held them firmly and stared into her eyes. "If you need anything at all, do not hesitate to call me. I will be back up here in a Flash."

She smirked. "That's Barry's line…"

Oliver smirked back. "I will though. I do not care what time it is. I don't care if it's four in the morning..if you need me call me, and I will be here." He reached into his pocket pulling out her cellphone and handed it to her.

"I found your phone. I gave it to Diggle to get A.R.G.U.S. to trace down the file that Blade sent to your phone."

"Thank you." Was all she said.

He smiled and bent down placing a small gentle kiss on her head. "Get some sleep Felicity and I'll see you in the morning, if not sooner."

"I'll see you tomorrow. Good night Oliver."

"Good night Felicity." He walked out the door feeling sad that he was leaving.

Hours Later

Felicity had been scared to fall asleep. She was so tired, but she did not want to face another nightmare like she had earlier. She fought the sleepiness away, but after a while it finally won. At first she was sleeping fine, but then her body jerked.

"Hold still sweetheart. I still haven't gotten to use my special knife yet! You'll be my test subject!"Blade psychotically said holding up one wicked looking knife blade.

Felicity was tied down on her hospital bed. She couldn't move. She felt paralyze, but she could still feel physical pain. He slowly approached her waving his knife around. She shut her eyes quickly while trying to scream. She felt the knife blade jam into her leg. He slowly deepened the blade while moving it all down her leg. The pain was intense. She tried to scream but her voice was gone. Tears were running down her face…

She jumped up instantly and realized that it was just another nightmare…just like she feared. She sighed. What time is it? She wondered.

The clock read four thirty-two. She got sad. She just wanted it to be morning already. She wished Oliver was there with her right now. Oh how she regrets telling him to go home.

She knew that she could call him right now and he would come back, but she did not want him to go through all that trouble just for her. She grabbed her phone and started to dial Oliver's number, but she stopped instantly. No! I will tough this out. I have to…she said to herself.

She forced herself to stay awake for the rest of the night. It was hard because she was still very tired, but she was not going to go to sleep.

Morning

Oliver woke up to see that it was 9:14a.m. He shot straight up out of bed and took a shower. He skipped breakfast and headed out the door.

"Where are you going at this time of day?" Thea asked.

Oliver turned to see his sister looking at him all weird.

"Felicity is in the hospital. I promised her I would come see her this morning."

"Felicity is in the hospital?" Thea was shocked. "Ollie what happened? Is she okay?!"

Oliver never had the chance to tell Thea about what happened to Felicity. Thea was working the nightclub when Oliver got home and she worked late so he never did get to tell her what happened.

"Some crazy psychopath kidnapped her and…. Hurt her." He said sounding angry.

"Oh my God. I hope she's okay."

"She's okay." He said but did not sound so confident.

"Well that's good. Tell Felicity that I said Hi and that I'm glad she's okay."

"I will. I gotta go. I'll see you later Speedy." He walked out the door.

He stopped by a local florist shop to pick up a small bouquet of different flowers. He was not sure what kind of flowers were Felicity's favourite so he got a small mixture.

After he left the florist shop he headed straight to the hospital to see his lovely girl.

His heart was slightly racing. Even though he's been friends with her for two years he still felt kind of nervous anytime he was around her.

He got on the elevator feeling impatient while it moved slowly. Ding! "Finally!" He said. He hopped off and walked down to Felicity's room. He gently knocked on the door, but did not hear an answer. She's probably asleep he told himself.

He opened the door slowly. He was shock to find her sitting up awake, but she did not look so good.

She looked up slowly and gasped when she saw Oliver standing there. "Oh my God.. Oliver I didn't hear you come in. Sorry."

"Hey hey…" he said softly approaching her. "You alright? You don't look so good"

"I-I'm fine. I'm feeling restless in this room. I really want to leave today. I'm so ready to go home."

Oliver was very worried, but he decided not to say anything yet. He held up the small bouquet of flowers to Felicity.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the gorgeous flowers. "Oh Oliver!" she grabbed them and sniffed the wonderful scents that each flower possessed. "They're beautiful! Oh thank you!"

He smiled so big seeing her smiling. Of course he came prepared and even bought a small vase to put them in. He walked over to the bathroom and filled the vase up with water. He placed the flowers in the vase and sat it on the table next to Felicity. She could not stop looking at them.

"You're here early." She said.

"Well I told you I would be here in the morning and I meant it."

They both smiled at each other.

The doctor walked in smiling. "Good morning Miss Smoak how are we feeling today?"

"Pretty good. Still sore, but I feel alright."

He took her temperature, checked all the stitching she had making sure none of them ripped, looked at her charts, and checked her blood pressure.

"You're blood pressure seems a little high."

Felicity's stomach sank. Oh God please just let me leave this room. She cursed herself.

"Well I guess everything seems alright. Try to keep an eye on your blood pressure, and be careful moving around with all those stitches." He informed her.

She just nodded letting him know that she would.

"Alrighty then Miss Smoak you're free to go once I get your paperwork together."

"Thank you"

"My pleasure Miss Smoak."

(This isn't the end! More to come. I actually didn't realize this chapter would be so long. It was going to be even longer, but I decided to just wait and continue on the next chapter.)
