Not always as they seem 7
(Five minutes before Oliver arrives at the Warehouse)
"Well well well the time flies when it comes to having fun." says Jason playing with a metal wire in his hands , Felicity gulped "Your not going to kill me... Kathryn would hate you for what you have become." she said with confidence. Jason's eyes narrowed as he exclaimed "Shut up!" he punched her in the stomach making her grunt, "No!" she rasped in response trying to breathe, Jason crossed his arms and Felicity groaned out "I will not stop! Someone has to remind you of that shred of humanity buried deep within you!" Jason looked at her incredulously before saying " I don't know how the Arrow does it! You just talk talk talk and then babble and talk some more! Just face the fact that you have two minutes left to breathe is there anything else you would like to say?"
Felicity stiffens before saying "Please don't do this!" little did she know that not far away Oliver was entering the warehouse on the ground floor of the four story and could hear her pleas, he rushed faster as Felicity began to talk again "Tell my friends and family that I love them." she says as Jason puts the wire around her neck, he stops suddenly and asks "You have friends and family? You never mentioned that." Felicity nods and says "Yeah I of course have friends with team Arrow, but there is one person I really love he is tall, he doesn't know but I really really like him . His short brown hair, his defined muscles I mean I could watch him do the salmon ladder all day long. He has some scars that he isn't really self conscious of but also isn't proud of but I love him all the same. I just hope that you know that I will be missed just like Kathryn will be missed by you."
Oliver was running up the steps clearing floor by floor being able to hear every word that Felicity was saying, Diggle was clearing the floors with him. His heart was beating faster as he couldn't find what room she was in. Felicity tenses as the wire began to choke her, "Oliver!" she cried out as she began crazily pulling against her restraints, Oliver heard her and was running faster than Dig could keep up. Felicity was trying to gasp for air as Jason choked her, her legs were kicking out wildly and her body thrashing trying to escape death. She gasped "Pl- please" her vision was spotty and her lungs burned from lack of oxygen as tears began streaming down her eyes. Suddenly a arrow soared through the air and plunged into Jason's upper shoulder making him cry out from the sudden burst of pain making him drop the wire and clutch his shoulder, Oliver ran towards Felicity as Diggle darted towards the now stumbling serial killer.
Felicity was barely breathing as Oliver undid her restraints, her body was in extreme pain as Oliver picked her up off the chair and laid her on the ground, "Felicity!? Felicity please can you hear me!?" exclaimed Oliver checking her pulse that was weak before softly patting her cheek trying to get her to wake up. Felicity groaned scrunching up her nose before whimpering "Please leave me alone." her voice brought relief and sorrow to his heart and he caressed her cheek "Felicity... Felicity it's me Oliver." He said and suddenly she sat up abruptly causing him to jump back from their close proximity, "Oliver?!" she rasped eyes locking onto his in fear, Oliver smiles warmly at her and she immediately clung to him crying in relief and pain.
Diggle walked over to Oliver and Felicity after zip tying Jason so he couldn't escape, " Felicity?" he asks crouching down to her level as she sat on Oliver's lap curled into him for protection. Felicity peaked out from where she buried her head into Oliver's arrow jacket and with a raspy voice spoke "you two found m- me ... I kn- knew you would." both men squeezed her into a hug squishing her in between them. "We will always find you Felicity" whispered Digs.
A few minutes later Felicity went completely still in Oliver's arms and he frowned before looking to Diggle and saying "From what I can tell she is pretty beat up... Digs she needs a hospital and he needs a deep dark prison cell. Can you use the voice scrambler and call Detective Lance and inform him to call one of his Coast City buddies to come and process this case? Tell him Felicity is quite injured but we can't get her into a hospital without raising suspicion so make sure his buddy sends a ambulance... Also ask if he can have the case moved to Starling since she is from there and over eighty percent of his victims are as well." he held onto his computer specialist like he was afraid she would disappear as Digs got on the phone with Detective Lance.
A few minutes later Diggle walked back over to them, "The CCPD are on their way... Detective Lance called a Detective Micah and she will be running the case they should be here in a few minutes. I also called Thea and Roy telling them that she is going to need a hospital but we got her and the serial killer." Oliver nodded and Felicity whimpered making both of them look to her in concern, "Shhh it's okay your safe." Oliver whispered and Felicity muttered "ugh my whole body hurts." both men frowned when suddenly they could hear sirens in the distance.
Oliver reluctantly pulled Felicity off his lap and made her eyes focus on him "Felicity... The police are coming... They are going to take you to a hospital and we will follow soon after okay?" says Diggle and Felicity nodded in understanding, Oliver lightly kissed her forehead being mindful that she had multiple bruises on her head before he whispered "I will be right by you when you wake up." he grabbed his bow as he gently laid Felicity back on to the hard concrete floor and both Digs and Oliver disappeared as police came bursting though multiple exits.
Detective Micah is the first to find Felicity... She checks Felicity's pulse and looks at the distinct wire mark where Jason had been choking her, "This is Detective Micah I have found the victim and the suspect is zip tied with a green arrow through his shoulder. Get the paramedics up to the fourth floor the victim is unconscious and is quite beat up." She said I to her radio and about five minutes later Felicity was lifted on to a gurney and rolled into a ambulance closely followed by a groaning Serial killer who wasn't lucky enough to get to go to the hospital instead they snapped the arrow and paramedics patched him up with little difficulty. Thea and Roy got on a plane headed for Coast City ready to see their friend alive and well.
