I do not own Arrow or it's characters.
Oliver finally went home after not getting any more information, Felicity's computers still running scans with no alerts yet. It took Digg 3 times to finally convince him to go home and sleep. Not that he had much luck. At first when he laid down in his soft mattress he realized just exactly how tired he was after pushing his workout to the max. His muscles soar and overworked but Oliver didn't care, he's been though much worse.
He passed out almost instantly then woke up at 4am jolting upright in his bed, sweat covering his body. All he could hear was Felicity's screams and her screaming his name echoing through his head, like what he just saw in his dream was real.
They were on the island and had been taken hostage. Oliver tried fighting back but couldn't and they killed her right in front of him. He couldn't move his own two feet to save her, like they were cemented into the ground.
At first all they wanted was answers, but they wouldn't give the leader any. Oliver couldn't remember what they were looking for but thats when the man in charge took out his gun, pressed the barrel to the side of Felicity's head and said, "Here's what I'll do. I'll give you one more chance. Because I feel like being nice. Where is it?" He clicked the bullet into its chamber, "1...2" BANG!
Just as Oliver was about to speak and tell him anything he wanted to know, he pulled the trigger, her screams being cut off by the bullet that was now in her skull, blood seeping out into the dirt below her lifeless body.
That's when he woke up. He shook his head, and running his hand through his sweat soaked hair. He tried breathing in through his nose and out through his mouth. It was just a dream he thought. But Felicity really was gone, not dead gone, but she's still missing. Oliver realized he wouldn't be getting any more sleep for the remainder of the night and got up to take a shower. He cranked the water to high and when he stepped in the hot water felt good on his strained muscles.
Oliver stood there for a good 20 minutes under the spray of the water, relaxing his body. He thought back to his dream, and just then remembered what they were looking for. The serum. They wanted the serum, but it wasn't Dr. Ivo and his men that were actually on the island, the people in his dream we're different. They were looking for the drug for a whole different reason. Something clicked in Oliver's mind making him turn off the shower and getting dressed to race to the lair. He had work to do.
At 6 Oliver was searching through the database and had pulled up a bunch of deaths that we're all connected.
"You know what Felicity would say if she saw you messing around with her equipment?" Digg said suddenly walking down the last two steps of the stairs. "She'd kill you and say something how she doesn't mess with your arrows." He handed a coffee to Oliver. "I knew I'd find you here."
"I couldn't sleep" Oliver replied taking a sip.
Digg walked behind Oliver looking at the screens, "You got something?"
"Yes and no. I don't know who took her but I know why." Oliver replied.
"Mind sharing with the class?" Digg crossed his arms leaning against the desk, he knew it might not be much, but it was probably enough to hunt down someone and torture them, Green Arrow style.
"It's about Mirakuru. The same serum that was on the island and the one Roy was injected with. It was the last case we were on and I destroyed their test subject along with the serum as well. But who ever is making it, has the formula for it and will make more. Felicity was running a search for other blood banks that were robbed, but I decided to look at the people who have died." Oliver explained.
"The bodies that have been found, with blood coming out of their eyes, do you think they were test subjects?" Digg asked.
"When Roy was injected the same thing happened to him, it was the serum rejecting him and he should have died. Why he didn't I haven't figured out yet. Some of the bodies that were found around Starling City had an unknown substance in the blood, I compared it to Xavier Reed and Cyrus Gold's blood reports and theirs said the same thing."
"Mirakuru" Digg finished.
Oliver nodded, "I need a sample of Roy's blood just be sure, but I know I'm right" Digg gave him a smile. "What?"
"I had a feeling this would happen. Not with what happened to Felicity, but you wanting to analyze Roy's blood." Digg shuffled around and finally found what he was looking for and held it up. It was a piece of gauze in a bag with blood on it. Roy's blood. "How are we-? I mean, this is Felicity's job and no offence Oliver but neither of us know how to do this type of thing or even know what we're looking for."
Oliver looked away from his friend, trying to hide the his reaction when Digg said her name. "I think it's time to pay a visit to Detective Lance."
When Oliver got to the roof top, Lance was already there. He pressed the button that altered his voice, "Detective, I need you to analyze this for me." He handed Lance an envelope with the sample of Roy's blood in it. "It needs to stay between us, but I need to know what you find in that sample. There might be an unknown substance detected, I need to know what it's made up of."
"Of course. You're on to something aren't you?" Lance said.
Oliver turned around and shot an arrow to a near by building, "I'll be waiting for your call." He called back and jumped off swinging to the ground and around the corner where Diggle waited with the car.
