Chapter 7
Felicity made her way to Big Belly Burger. She decided if she was going into battle she might as well be armed. Bringing food might be a good first line of defense. At least she would have Roy on her side.
At Big Belly Burger she ran into Diggle.
"Hey John."
"Hey Felicity. Hoping food will appease Mr. Mean and Green?
"Mean and Green? I've met the Hulk. Next to him Oliver is just a bad tempered broccoli stalk."
Laughing they picked up the food and drove to Verdant. They were still smiling as they walked down into the lair. Roy was attempting archery, while Sara gave him pointers.
"Keep him away from my computers."
"I'm aiming next to them." Roy whined
"That's what I'm worried about. Besides, I come bearing food." She set the bag on the table and looked around the lair nervously.
"Where's Oliver?" Diggle asked nonchalantly, voicing the question Felicity dreaded to ask.
"He went to the mansion. Thea texted him saying it was an emergency." Sara said.
Felicity's phone rang.
"Hello Oliver"
She heard voices…what sounded like Moira, Thea and a man she couldn't identify.
"Huh, hey guys I believe we've been butt-dialed."
Putting her phone on speaker, she leaned back in her chair so everyone could enjoy. As they began to listen, Sara's face grew pale.
"Slade Wilson."
"What?" Roy asked with his mouth full. "What's a Slade Wilson? Some kind of tennis racket?"
"He's a very dangerous man. He's supposed to be dead and if we don't do something he's going kill Ollie and his family."
Like clockwork the team assembled and went to Oliver's rescue. Felicity sank into her chair. What kind of monster was Slade Wilson if even Sara was afraid of him? She turned to her computers. She didn't know, but she intended to find out.
"Director Fury, I need a favor."
