"Laurel, what are you doing here?"
She shrugged,
"I thought you deserved an apology"
Felicity just nodded, biting on the end of her pen. When Laurel didn't say anything, so she shrugged and slightly rolled her eyes,
"This is an amazing apology but I have work to do"
Laurel nodded a bit, she was at a lose for words. She stopped at the doorframe,
"Felicity, I am sorry"
Felicity nodded,
"I don't believe you. Laurel I know you think you can have him in the snap of a finger, but you can't. He isn't yours anymore."
Laurel raised her eyebrows a bit and curled her lip.
"Felicity."
Felicity just put her hand up,
"Either you leave or I call security"
"You know I can have him in a second. You know it and so do I. I am the only reason he made it off that island. I'm the reason he came back."
"Laurel. You have five seconds"
Felicity was getting sick of this. Her day wasn't even supposed to start for another nineteen minutes and she was already getting a headache. Sara ran in to her office,
"Felicity!"
"Sara?"
Felicity smiled tightly,
"You're sister was just leaving. Maybe you can help her out"
Sara looked between them,
"Sure can"
Sara grabbed Laurel's arm,
"Let's go"
Laurel reluctantly went with her, when they made it outside on the side walk Sara let go of her arm,
"What are you doing here?"
Laurel pointed at herself,
"Me? What are YOU doing here?"
"I wanted to come and see everyone"
Laurel nodded and smiled,
"Well I'm glad you're alright and alive"
Sara rolled her eyes,
"I can't believe you"
Laurel sighed,
"She told you"
"No he did. And I think what you did was really low. You had your chance with him, you chose Tommy."
Laurel nodded,
"And then you slept with him AGAIN"
Sara shrugged,
"Well I'm back now, so just back off. Laurel I don't know what has gotten into you but this isn't who you are. Going around fighting bad guys and kissing other peoples boyfriends"
Laurel rolled her eyes,
"No that's you"
She walked away in a huff and Sara just out a breath as she closed her eyes. She decided to just go to the foundry and work of some steam.
Felicity was tapping her pen on her desk. What was she going to do? She finally just decided to walk up to his office and well. She didn't know. She was just going to go see what fell out of her mouth.
She took the elevator debating stopping at every floor. She stepped out and say Diggle. She scrunched her eyebrows together.
"What's going on?"
"Oliver said he needed back up"
"For what?"
He shrugged.
"Let's go find out"
When they walked in to the office Oliver turned and looked at Felicity. She gave him a small smile,
"Felicity you can't be here right now"
She was taken back,
"What are you talking about?"
"Leave. I need you to leave."
She stood her ground,
"Oliver tell me what is going on right now"
"I called Diggle. Not you. You need to get out of here."
Then she noticed it. There was a rip in this suit, on the left arm and she could see a bit of blood.
"If you think I'm scared of a little blood…"
His voice grew ten times louder.
"Then stay Felicity. Stay here. We're leaving anyways"
She was holding back tears,
"Okay. Go then"
She put her arm up and pointed to the door. Diggle stayed quiet and waited for Oliver to start moving. Oliver sighed as he walked over to her, putting a hand on her cheek as she looked away and closed her eyes. He kissed her forehead as he walked out.
He wanted her to be safe, and right now if she stayed with them she wouldn't be. Diggle looked at her as he walked by,
"We'll be safe."
"If you think for one second I'm going to stay here and not –"
Diggle put hands on her shoulders.
"We wouldn't be us without you"
She smiled and nodded a bit. She watched Diggle leave the office walking faster then normal to catch up with Oliver. She rubbed her arms as she walked back to the elevator to get her things from her office.
…
"Oliver are you going to explain to me what just happened?"
He shrugged,
"They can't know she's involved Diggle."
"Who can't?"
"Guilanne, I ran in to one of those kids he kidnapped today. But its not the first time I've seen him"
Diggle raised his eyebrow,
"Oliver what are we getting into?"
"I don't know Dig, but were going to go find out"
…
Felicity walked in to the Foundry to see Sara using the salmon ladder. Roy was sharpening his arrows. He looked at her,
"she's been doing that for a good hour"
Felicity nodded and sat in the chair,
"Did Oliver not call you?"
"Told me to wait here, make sure you were safe and then go"
She rolled her eyes,
"Of course he did"
"He also said, if you need one of us call Diggle"
"Of course he did"
"He also said – "
"I don't care"
Roy smiled tightly and nodded, he got up and went to change. Felicity went to her computer, calling to Diggle.
"Dig give me an update"
"I would if I could. But I don't even know what's going on"
"Tell him he needs to answer when I call and keep it open"
"Felicity"
She sighed and hung up. Sara looked at her as she jumped down,
"What happened?"
"He yelled at me to get out of the office. And doesn't want me involved"
"SO be involved"
Felicity laughed, and Sara sat down beside her.
"No one said dating a hero was easy work"
Felicity nodded a bit,
"I know."
…
Roy met up with them at an old warehouse,
"So what exactly is the plan?"
"We're just going to gather information"
DIggle nodded,
"And then what? We're going to sneak in and sneak out?"
"That's the plan"
"So why does Felicity have to be pissed at you for us to do this?"
Oliver rubbed his face,
"Because IF we do get caught or seen they can't tie her to us"
Roy stopped,
"When are you going to tell us what is going on?"
Oliver rolled his eyes,
"Let's just go"
...
The boys arrived back at the foundry and Sara was the only one left. Oliver placed his bow back,
"Where is she?"
Sara raised her eyebrow,
"According to her you don't want to talk to her so who knows"
He growled at her as she stood up she hit his shoulder,
"It takes more then that to scare me. You should know that"
She walked out and Oliver slammed his fist on the table. Diggle was first to talk,
"You need to talk to her"
"I know"
Roy asked next,
"Are we telling them about tonight?"
Oliver looked at him and shook his head,
"No. Not until we have a plan"
He nodded and so did Diggle. Oliver needed her, he needed to see her. Hear her laugh. Hear her heart beat, smell her coconut shampoo and just feel her at his side.
He had been riding his bike to her apartment but when he got there it was dark and her car wasn't in her usual spot.
She must have went somewhere. He decided to go home and shower and he would come back later to check on her. But as he drove up to the mansion he saw her car. He smiled.
As he went into the house he saw her sparkly flats from this morning by the door and her coat hung nearly on the rack. He took the stairs two at a time, walking into his bedroom.
The lights were off as he walked in, and he smiled as he saw her look up at him.
"You're bed is way more comfortable then mine"
He laughed a little bit and walked over to the edge of the bed, sitting beside her and putting a hand on her cheek.
"I'm sorry about tonight"
She nodded,
"You can't do that. You can't push me out just because you think it's not safe. I'm in this."
He nodded,
"I know"
"Can we argue about it later? I just need you to come hold me"
He stood up stripping down to his boxers,
"I can do that"
She smiled as he slipped in behind her whispering in her ear,
"I love you more then you could possibly know"
"I can guess. It's about the same amount I love you"
He kissed the back of her neck, she slowly turned around so her face was his chest. He rubbed her back as both of them drifted off to sleep.
Sorry for the delay. Made it long for you! Reviews are always nice.
