Chapter 6: Rise of The Green Arrow
This does not belong to me, it belongs to its respected owners.
Oliver wakes to Felicity in his arms. Felicity is laying on her side fast asleep. Oliver kisses under her ear then moves down her neck then her shoulder. "Hey." Felicity says with a smile. "Morning." Oliver says then kisses her neck again. Felicity turns onto her back and looks into Oliver's eyes. "You know if I did not know better, I would think you are trying to get lucky by doing that." Felicity says running her hand over his face.
"I just can't help it. You look so incredibly sexy right now, half asleep, no make-up, your hair all messy." Oliver says then kisses her on the lips this time. "Oliver, what happened to Dinner first?" Felicity says smirking. "Well we having dinner tonight. So still have some time all to ourselves. What do you what to do till tonight." Oliver says as he kisses her neck. "Well, I have some ideas." Felicity says rolling onto Oliver. "I am listening." Oliver says putting his arms around her waist.
"Well." Felicity says then kisses his bare chest. "Since you like to be shirtless, all the time, in front of me. I can finally do this." Felicity says and kisses his chest again. "Screw waiting! Come here!" Oliver says rolling Felicity over and kisses her passionately. Suddenly there is a knock at her front door. "Really?!" Felicity says running her hand through her hair. "Ignore it." Oliver says kissing her neck. The knocking continues. Oliver stops and rolls off Felicity.
"Coming!" Felicity shouts getting out of bed. "I should probably put a shirt on." Oliver says getting up. "No! Sorry for whoever it is but I prefer you without it. Plus I am just gonna end up chasing them away and pulling the shirt off so, don't put it on." Felicity says seductively. "Ok." Oliver says following her down the hall. Oliver stops by the wall leading into the kitchen and leans on it. Felicity opens the door and sees Ray standing there.
"Ray, what are you doing here?" Felicity says as he walks in. "I wanted to talk to you… Oliver? You are back?" Ray says shocked looking at Oliver. "Palmer. I got back last night." Oliver says glaring at Ray. "What did you want to talk about Ray?" Felicity says looking at Oliver then Ray. "Nothing that can't wait for Monday." Ray says then turns to leave.
"Palmer let me walk you out." Oliver says with a fake smile. Oliver grabs his shirt and puts it on. He walks Ray to his car. "Palmer, I will take my company back. As for Felicity, keep it professional or I will hurt you, so no more visits to her apartment. Got it!" Oliver says aggressively. "Got it." Ray says glaring at Oliver then gets into his car.
"Please tell me you did not kill my boss." Felicity says coming out of the kitchen holding two mugs of coffee. "He is still in one piece, for now." Oliver says closing the door behind him. "Oliver, there is only one man I love." Felicity says handing Oliver a mug. "What happened to you never making me coffee?" Oliver says leaning in and giving her a long kiss. "Well if you keep kissing me like that, I might even make you dinner." Felicity says then kisses him again. Oliver pulls her over to couch and they sit down. Felicity curls up close to Oliver side and he puts his arm around her.
"Oliver, I need you to promise me something." Felicity says with a serious tone. "Anything." Oliver says looking at Felicity. "Promise me you will not change your mind tomorrow, promise me we will try and make this relationship work we will not just give up at the first challenge that comes our way. Promise me you will not push me away again." Felicity says holding onto Oliver's hand. "I promise you Felicity." Oliver says then kisses her again. "So what did you say about my shirt?" Oliver says putting the mug down on the coffee table next to him.
"And you said something about screw waiting." Felicity says leaning over Oliver to put the mug down. Oliver pulls Felicity onto his lap. "So this shirt is kind of bothering me." Oliver says looking down at his shirt. "Let me help you with that." Felicity says then pulls the shirt off and throws it to the ground. Oliver picks her up bridal style and carries her to the bedroom. Oliver lays her on bed and starts kissing her. Oliver pushes her shirt up and is about to pull her shirt off when there is a knock at the front door again. "You have got to be kidding!" Oliver says getting up. "I am gonna chase whoever it is a way. You stay right here." Oliver says walking out of the room, leaving Felicity breathless.
Oliver opens the door and sees Thea. "Hey sis. What are you doing here?" Oliver says surprised. "You are going to stop making out with Felicity and you two are going out with Roy and I today. Don't worry no talking about this past year just hanging out." Thea says walking in. "Felicity! Put some cloths on, we going out!" Thea says walking towards the bedroom.
"Really Thea! You have the worst timing!" Felicity says as Thea walk into the room. "I know right! So have you told him yet?" Thea asks in a low voice. "No. I am going to show him tonight." Felicity says in a low voice closing the door. "You better do it soon before he finds out himself."
Oliver walks into Verdant with Felicity. They walk up to the bar were the others are standing talking to each other. Oliver puts his arm around Felicity and kisses her hair. "About time you get here!" Roy says walking up to Oliver. "I know you and Felicity just got together and you just got back but really, no need to be rabbits." Roy says and starts laughing.
"Oh ok. So when did you start sleeping with my sister again?" Oliver says removing his arm from Felicity's shoulder and walking closer to Roy. "I… am… I mean… we…" Roy says backing up a bit. "You what?" Oliver says glaring at Roy. "You know what! I love your sister! We got together 4 months after you left and did not come back! I have been nothing but a gentleman with your sister!" Roy shouts at Oliver and walks up to Oliver and stands right in front of him.
"That is all I needed to hear." Oliver says then opens his arms to give Roy a hug. Roy hugs Oliver nervously. "Break her hart. And you will never see the light of day again." Oliver says only loud enough for Roy to hear it. "I can live with that. I have missed you." Roy says backing away. "So what happened this past year?" Thea says going to stand next to Roy.
"Well other than getting stabbed and kicked off the side of a mountain?" Oliver asks smiling. "That much we know." Dig says taking another sip of his beer. "Well, I woke up two weeks later by the guy who saved me off the mountain. I was still in really bad shape and spent a lot of time in bed asleep." Oliver says walking to the table in the middle of Verdant then he taking a seat at the head of the table to see everyone. Felicity sits to the right of him. Diggle and Lyla sit on the left side of the table them, Laurel sat next to them and Roy and Thea sit next to Felicity.
"Wait, you have been awake since then and you never made any form of contact with us!" Laurel says glaring at Oliver. "I kind of did. I thought you guys were smart enough to figure it out, but with that stupid note. That was in my bad I can see why you did not." Oliver says looking over at Laurel. "Wait, that girl that was in Felicity's apartment with your stuff. I knew it!" Thea says shaking her head in disbelief.
"Yes, Barbra. So I recovered for five months, then this man offered me a chance to train with him. He was trained by Ra's himself and could help me if the league ever tried to hurt any of you. So I let him train me that is why I never contacted you and did not come back sooner." Oliver says looking at Felicity. "Wait, you have league training now? Good enough to defeat Ra's?" Roy says shocked. "Yes." Oliver says and the room falls silent.
Oliver smirks and looks straight ahead of him. A shadow walks closer to the back of Oliver's chairs. The others stand up and grab a knife and point it at the shadow and Diggle and Lyla pull a gun out and aim it at the shadow. "Easy! He is with me. Felicity have you been training?" Oliver asks looking at her. "Kind of. Who is this?" Felicity asks glaring at the shadow now seeing a person wearing a costume that looks like a bat.
"This is Batman, he saved me then trained me. Bats have a seat, there is more than enough food for everyone." Oliver points to the empty chair at the end of the table. The others sit back down. "Normally I would but I have business to discuss with you." Batman says in a deep voice. "What happened to dinner before business?" Oliver says smirking. "Haha, this is important. The league knows, Oliver." Batman says walking to stand next to Oliver. Oliver sands up and looks Batman. "How? I have not even been back for 24 hours yet." Oliver says shocked.
"Not that, they know how Sara really died." Batman says looking at Thea. "What?!" Oliver asks then runs his hand through his hair. "Follow me Bats." Oliver says walking towards the basement door. "Lucky for us most of the league is in Russia on a big mission. They will only be here in two to three days." Batman says following Oliver. "How do you know about Sara?" Felicity asks catching up with Oliver. "I told him, it is a long story." Oliver says as the others catch up with them. "Oliver, I should tell you something." Felicity says nervously. "Later Felicity, we need to look into this first." Oliver says then opens the door.
They walk down the stairs and Oliver switches the lights on. "Not bad. Mine is way cooler." Batman says looking around. "I thought the whole team was at dinner tonight? Where are the other team members? Or do you guys have more suits for fun?" Oliver says looking at the glass cases. "That is kind of what I wanted to talk to you about." Felicity says nervously.
"Look I know Thea and Laurel have suits. Who is the A.T.O.M and who is The Encrypter?" Oliver asks looking at Felicity. Felicity's silence tells Oliver everything. "You are The Encrypter? You have been training? That is how you threw me to the ground." Oliver says shocked. "Surprise. Now I can go on missions with you." Felicity says nervously.
"What the hell were you thinking?!" Oliver shouts furious. "I did it to honor your memory! I thought you were dead! I was a wreck, I buried myself in my work, I hardly slept and practically did not eat!" Felicity shouts walking closer to Oliver who was standing in the middle of the room. "Felicity, I never wanted you in the field I always wanted to keep you safe. You are never going in the field again!" Oliver says turning around walking to his Arrow gear.
"I can take care of myself!" Felicity shouts crossing her arms. "I know what you are capable of Felicity and you are not going in the field! You could not even take care of yourself in The Foundry against The Archer, how are you going to take care of yourself out there?" Oliver says turning around looking at her. "Wait, how do you know about the fight with The Archer?" Roy asks confused. "You sent him as well." Thea says shocked. "No, he did not send The Archer. He is The Archer. You were in Starling, you met with the team, yet you never said a word. You never told me." Felicity says glaring at Oliver.
"You can't stop me from going into the field. I will go into the field with you or without you. I feel like I am actually making a difference and that makes me happy so you will not stop me Oliver!" Felicity says walking closer to Oliver. "Ok, wildcats. We do this the vigilante way, you two fight each other. No gadgets, no weapons, no special suit, no killing each other and no interferes from anyone. You win when your opponent gives up or is knocked out. Felicity wins, she can go into the field whenever she wants. Oliver wins, Felicity can't go into the field again." Batman says pushing them apart.
"Fine!" Felicity says glaring at Oliver. "I can't fight her!" Oliver shouts at Batman. "Then you forfeit and she wins, she goes into the field with us." Batman says looking at Oliver. "What you scared I kick your ass again?" Felicity says staring at Oliver. "Fine! We do it right now, right here. I am going to go change." Oliver says then storms off in one direction, Felicity storms off in the other.
"Felicity does not stand a chance!" Dig says running his hand though his hair. "She stands a better chance than you think, Mr. Diggle. Oliver might have more experience and better training, but he is fighting Felicity. He will be distracted, not concentrate as he should and his fear to let her get hurt will play a huge roll in this fight. Felicity is a genius, she will take advantage of Oliver's weakness. I bet a 100 bucks he will lose." Batman says walking over to them and putting a $100 on the table.
"100 on Felicity. You trained Oliver yet you bet Felicity. I bet 100 on Felicity as well." Thea says putting a $100 on the table. "Really? $100 on Oliver." Dig says putting a note down. "50 on Felicity kicking Oliver's ass." Roy says putting the money down. "$100 Felicity will win." Laurel says putting the money down. "Look, sure Felicity is a genius but she only has a few months training, Oliver has years!" Dig says crossing his arms. "My fiancé is right, Felicity can't win." Lyla says looking at Thea. "Wait, where is Batman?" Roy says looking around.
"Miss. Smoak, I have some advice for you, if you want it." Batman says from behind Felicity. Felicity spins around looking at him. "You Oliver's trainer. Why help me?" Felicity says and she continues to tie her laces. "He does not know it yet but you need to be in the field with him. You will make an unstoppable team. It will make him fight better, believe it or not." Batman says walking into the room. "Ok, what is your advice?" Felicity says standing up.
"Let him beat you in the begin, study him while you are fighting. When he least expects it, use your speed, agility and size against him. When you begin your attack don't stop, don't give him time to recover." Batman says crossing his arms. "Thank you Batman." Felicity says nodding her head. Batman leaves and joins the others again.
"You making bets!" Oliver says entering the room with sweatpants, shirtless and combat boots on. "Yes." Batman says turning to look at Oliver. "Who is the favorite?" Felicity asks walking into the room wearing sweatpants, training bra and combat boots. "You are." Lyla says looking at Felicity. "Me? No need to spare my feelings I know it is Oliver." Felicity says taping her hands. "He only has one bet." Dig says walking up to her and helping tape her hands. "Well thanks Bats, at least one person is being realistic." Oliver says taping his hands. "Actually it was Dig not Batman." Thea says pushing herself up onto a table.
"Wow, your own trainer betting against you. Ha, now that is comforting." Felicity says moving onto the training mat. "I don't need his bet to beat you." Oliver says moving onto the mat. "Wait, can I can I go grab some popcorn for this!" Roy says sitting down next to Thea on the table. "You better bring you're A game Oliver. I am bringing mine." Felicity says standing looking at Oliver. "Oh, I will, to keep you safe." Oliver says walking closer to her. "That makes no sense. He is going to fighter to protect her from getting into fights and getting hurt but he is going to hurt her now in this fight." Laurel says crossing her arms watching the two of them preparing to fight each other.
Oliver notices the cut on her lower right side, from the glass. Oliver walks to her and runs his hand over the scar. "I did this." Oliver says in a sad tone. Felicity grabs his hand and twists it and punches him in the face and pushes him back. "And I did that!" Felicity says walking closer to Oliver. Oliver swings a punch but Felicity blocks it and swings a punch of her own. Oliver ducks under it and kicks her at the back of her knee then punches her through the face spiting her lip and hits her again and she falls to the ground checking her lip.
"Had enough?" Oliver asks smirking. "Nope, I am just getting started." Felicity says running towards him. Felicity throws a punch but Oliver blocks it and laughs. "You can't win Felicity." Oliver says smirking.
Felicity punches him but he blocks and punches her, she falls to one knee. "Not so easy Felicity?" Oliver says smirking as Felicity stands up. Felicity starts throwing punches increasing her speed a little, Oliver blocks all the punches. Oliver grabs Felicity's hand twists it then kicks her in the abdomen then to the head. Felicity falls to the ground holding her head. "Felicity, I am way better than you are. A few months training gets you nowhere close to my leave. Give up!" Oliver says smirking.
Oliver walks over to Felicity to check on her. "Felicity?" Oliver says worried because she is not moving. Felicity spins and kicks Oliver's legs out from underneath him. Oliver falls to the ground and Felicity pushes back on her hands and jumps up. Oliver gets up but before he can get up properly Felicity kicks him to the side of the head and puts her legs around his neck and throws him onto the ground. Felicity jumps up again and turns to Oliver, who is slightly disorientated but is still trying to get up.
Felicity runs and kicks him to the side of his head and then again to the other side. Felicity spins around putting her legs around Oliver's neck and throwing him to the ground tightening the hold. "Give up Oliver, I outsmarted you!" Felicity says increasing the pressure. "Fine! You…can…work…in…the…field." Oliver says struggling to breath.
Felicity loosens the grip and jumps up then holds out her hand to help Oliver up. Oliver takes her hand and she helps him up. Dig walks over to Oliver "First you owe me $100. Second I told you that if you ever hurt Felicity, I would hurt you!" Diggle says stooping in front of Oliver. Diggle punches Oliver threw the face causing Oliver to fall to one knee that will probably leave him with a black eye. "Really Dig?" Oliver asks looking up at him. Diggle hits him once more busting his lip open. "Dig! Back off!" Felicity shouts pulling Diggle one side.
"It is fine Felicity. I said if I ever hurt you he could punch me. Since I hurt you as The Archer and as me that counts as two punches." Oliver says standing up. "Guys can you give us a minute?" Felicity asks looking at the team. They all nod and leave. "Let's get you cleaned up." Felicity says walking over to Oliver, taking his hand and pulling him over to the med table. "Let's rather get you cleaned up." Oliver says picking her up and putting her on the med table.
Oliver starts cleaning her lip and gets her a few ice-packs. Oliver is silent and has a serious expression on his face. "You know Laurel was right, it is kind of weird that you fighting your girlfriend… I mean the person you love, to keep them from getting hurt but you end up hurting them." Felicity says trying to break the awkward silence. Oliver looks up at her then down her ribs where he kicked her. "Oliver, if you really do not want me in the field that bad… then I will not go in the field again." Felicity says as she cups his face with her hands.
"Felicity, before I got kicked off the side of that mountain, thinking I was about to die. You were my very last thought that went through my mind, I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you. All I have ever wanted is for you to be happy. I always get in the way of that." Oliver says backing away from Felicity. "Oliver, you being alive and here makes me…" Oliver cuts her off before she could finish.
"I am sorry I lied. I am sorry I did not tell you, I know I should have. I am sorry I hurt you." Oliver says with sadness in his tone looking into her eyes then he dropped his head and looked at the ground. "I am sorry I over reacted and I am sorry I should have told you." Felicity says lifting his head with her hand. "How mad are you? Well after beating me anyways. Hopeful not angry enough to make me sleep on the couch, because I have some unfinished business with The Encrypter and you, concerning becoming her official boyfriend." Oliver says seductively.
"Well how can I be so angry after you just said I was your last thought before getting kicked off a mountain? Plus that fight made me little less mad, but you have to prove you are sorry not just say it." Felicity says smirking. Oliver leans in and kisses her passionately. Oliver picks her up, she puts her legs around her waist and pulls him closer. Oliver carries her over to the med table and sits her on it. Oliver starts kissing her down her neck when they hear someone clearing their thought. "Again! Really!" Oliver shouts looking in the air. Felicity let's go of Oliver as her face fills with embarrassment.
"The best part of letting her win hay Oliver." Batman says crossing his arms. "I did not let her win. She got off guard. Wait a minute. You helped her!" Oliver says crossing his arms. "At last you admit a girl kicked your ass and i have no idea what you talking about. Anyways the reason I interrupted you two is because the league is arriving sooner than expected. Oliver it is time for The Green Arrow to rise." Batman says pointing to Oliver's suit.
A/N: So what did you think? I have so much planned for the next few chapter including: Felicity saving Oliver's life, Thea and Felicity fight Nyssa, a wedding, a kid and a very special date ;). Please Review! Feel free to make suggestions!
