(This one is kind of slow. Sorry.)

Felicity sighed in relief when she heard the doctor say that she could leave that day. It was not long until she realized that she did not have a clean pair of clothes to change into. She picked her phone up and called Diggle asking him to swing by her place to pick up some clean clothes for her. She told him where she kept her spare apartment key hidden outside.

About twenty to thirty minutes later Digg arrived with her clothes.

"I wasn't sure what you wanted to wear so I grabbed a blouse and a skirt and a pair of pants. I didn't know which one you would feel more comfortable in."

Felicity smiled big. "Thank you John."

"You're welcome. I'm gonna go to their cafeteria and get a coffee. You guys want anything?"

"I'll take coffee!" Felicity blurted out.

"I'm good right now. Thanks." Oliver said.

"Alright. I'll be back in a little bit."

Felicity started shifting around ever so carefully. She slowly moved her legs over the bed and then set her feet onto the floor. She gently lifted herself up, but winced instantly at the pain that just shot all through her body.

Oliver put his arm around her waist trying to support her. "Easy now."

She moaned. "I forgot I have broken ribs…Ugh walking is going to be a bitch for me." She frowned lowering her head.

Oliver felt so bad for her. "Where are you wanting to walk to?"

"The bathroom…I want to change clothes."

"Okay. Come on, I'll help you."

He gently helped her walk to the bathroom. Right as they reached the door she opened it. She let go of Oliver and took small steps inside. Oliver still had his hand sitting slightly on her back making sure you would not fall over.

"I got it Oliver. Thank you though." She closed the door and made the attempt to ignore all the pain she was in while she changed. She carefully removed the hospital gown she was in. She could not help but notice all the wounds and cuts that were all over her body. Placing both hands on the sink she moved herself closer to the mirror to get a good look at herself.

She gasped seeing herself. She grabbed her red blouse that Diggle brought and slowly put it on. "As much as I would like to wear pants today I guess the skirt would be easier to put on." She thought to herself. She grabbed her slightly somewhat short black skirt and carefully slipped it on over her legs.

"Thank God I wore boots yesterday…. No way I'm wearing high heels anytime soon." She grabbed her boots and slipped them on.

One more look at the mirror made her realize how messy her hair was. She did not have a brush or a comb at all. She tried to use her fingers to straighten her hair out as much as she could. Her hair was so long and wavy. Eh I guess it looks okay…could be worse. She shrugged to herself.

She slowly walked back into the room. The pain she was feeling was so intense, but she was getting better at walking it off.

Oliver heard the bathroom door open and looked straight up to see Felicity dressed in her gorgeous red blouse and black skirt. "She's so beautiful." Oliver said to himself.

Felicity started shivering. She wondered where her coat was, but then she remembered that Blade took it off her the night before. There was no telling where it was at.

Oliver took his jacket off and placed it around her shoulders. He gave her that cute caring smile of his.

"Thank you."

It was not long until Diggle came back with the coffee.

"Here you go Felicity." He handed her the fresh hot coffee.

"Mmm thanks!" She sipped it.

The doctor came in a few minutes later with the paperwork. "Okay Miss Smoak you are already to check out now. Oh and I'm going to prescribe you on some pain meds. You are going to be in a lot of pain, so I think it's best I prescribe you with something that'll help ease it some." He wrote down the prescription for her.

She listened as she drank her coffee.

"Okay that should do it. You're all ready to go. I certainly hope you feel a lot better Miss Smoak." He smiled at his patient.

"Thank you doctor."

Felicity had just about chugged her cup of coffee.

Diggle's eye brows lifted. "Someone definitely wanted her coffee this morning."

She giggled.

"Alright let's go." Oliver said.

They all walked out of the room. There was wheelchair sitting outside the door for Felicity to sit in since she had trouble walking.

"I can walk…don't worry I don't need a wheelchair."

"Felicity come on you need to sit. You don't need to keep walking." Diggle said.

"Ugh fine…" she slowly sat down in it. Oliver pushed the chair for her wheeling her into the elevator. They got outside and Felicity slowly stood up cringing at the soreness she was feeling.

"Wait here. I'll go bring the car closer." Diggle said walking towards the parking garage.

Felicity stood there in silence again. Her eyes widened up when she thought about something.

"What is it?" Oliver asked.

"Um…I-I just realized that I need to use to restroom really bad. I'll be right back." She turned around to walk away, but Oliver stopped her.

"Hold on, I'll walk with you."

"Oliver it's fine. I'm just going to the bathroom. I can make it there on my own. Just wait here and tell Diggle I'll be back out soon."

He sighed. "Okay."

She took his jacket off and handed it back to him since it was chilly out. She then turned back around and walked back into the hospital. As soon as she turned the corner she passed right by the restrooms. She approached the front desk.

"Excuse me? I was wondering… Is there a patient here named Charlie Blade?" she asked the woman sitting behind the desk.

"Hold on let me look." She said typing the name into the computer. "Yes ma'am. He was brought in a few weeks ago. The poor man is in a coma."

Felicity tried to look surprise. "Oh. Could you tell me what room he's in? I'd like to at least visit him."

"Are you a relative to him?" the woman asked curiously.

"Just….an old friend. I heard about what happened and I wanted to see him."

"Aw that's sweet."

Felicity half smiled at her.

The woman told her what room he was in. She made her way slowly but tried to walk fast to the elevator. She was afraid Oliver would walk back in trying to look for her. The elevator doors closed and started heading up.

Once the elevator stopped she stepped off and made her way to Chip's room. She took a deep breath before walking in. She opened the door cautiously and saw him lying there hooked up to so many machines. Tears formed in her eyes. The guilt was weighing on her shoulders again.

She approached the side of his bed and looked at him. She did not know this man at all, but she wanted to pay her respects since she practically put him in this condition. She reached down and grabbed his hand in both of hers.

"Hi Charlie… I know you probably can't hear me right now, but my name is Felicity Smoak. I'm a computer genius…like you." She sighed.

"Charlie…I was the one that made your computer explode in front of you that night. The night when you and your brother tried to steal the dark ruby. It's…" she choked up. "It's my fault you're like this now. I am so sorry. I-I wish there was something I could do to fix everything…" tears streamed down her face.

"Like I said…I know you probably can't hear me, but I at least needed to say it to you." She kissed the top of his hand. She was about to sit his hand down back on his bed but she felt his fingers slightly grip her hand.

*Gasp!* Felicity was shocked.

Chip's head moved back and forth. His eyes slowly began to open. He moaned in pain.

Felicity could not believe what was happening right now. He was awake! The guy she thought was dead was actually awake in front of her!

"Charlie?" she said softly.

He moaned some more and looked up at her. "Wh—Ow…Who are you?" His voice sounded so hoarse.

"Oh my God. You're alive! You're actually alive!"

Chip was confused. "What?"

"Sorry… hold on." She went to get one of the nurses or doctor's to tell them that Charlie was awake.

A doctor and a nurse came walking in so fast to see it for themselves. They could not believe it. They were for sure that he was never going to wake up. The doctor checked on him, gave him some water, and explained to him what happened. He went to run some tests. Felicity walked back up to Charlie.

"Who are you?" he asked again.

"My name is Felicity. I know you don't know me, but I came here because I needed to tell you something."

"Hi Felicity." He smiled.

Felicity gulped. "Charlie… the night that you and your brother tried to steal the dark ruby…. What- what's the last thing you remember?"

He was puzzled when Felicity asked him this question. "How do you know about-?"

"The story got around…" she partially lied.

"Ah." He tried to think long and hard. It was fuzzy to him. He had a lot of brain damage, but it's a miracle that he can even speak properly. It was slowly coming to him.

"I remember. Two guys wearing hoods coming to attack me and my brother. I tried to avoid the fight and then the next thing I know my computer exploded in my hands. After that…nothing."

She shut her eyes tight.

"Why do you ask?" he wondered.

"Charlie…"

"Chip. I like to go by Chip."

"Chip. Sorry. Well Chip I needed to tell you about your computer explosion. The two guys that came to stop you and your brother are Starling City's two heroes. I…sort of help them out when they need help doing something they can't do. Anyways. That night I hacked into the cameras in that building and saw what was happening. I then….hacked into your computer causing it…to explode." She lowered her voice.

Chip's eyes were wide open.

"Chip… I'm so sorry. I hurt you. I practically killed you. I didn't mean to hurt you at all. I'm the reason you're in here. I'm the cause of your head damage. I'm so sorry." More tears were escaping her eyes.

He did not know what to say. His eyes moved over at her arms, then neck, and face. "What happened to you?"

She lifted her head. "What?"

"Those cuts. What happened to you?" he asked in a concern voice.

She sniffled before speaking. "Your brother found out that I was the one who hurt you. He wasn't too happy with me. He kidnapped me in my own home and tortured me with his knives."

Chip gasped. He was worried that his brother had something to do with this.

"It's my fault though…" she said.

"No. It's not."

"I'm the one that put you in a coma."

"Felicity you… wait a second. How did you escape my brother? No one can ever escape him."

"I didn't." she said frighteningly.

Chip was so confused.

"He actually tortured me to the point of death and dumped me on a rooftop. The Arrow and his partner Arsenal showed up minutes later searching for me. They found me and managed to get paramedics over to me on time. My heart wasn't beating, but they were able to jump start it with a defibrillator. I was brought here yesterday actually."

"Wow. Aren't you lucky. I can't believe Ken would hurt such a beautiful girl like you. Man I bet he's pissed right now that you managed to escape."

Felicity's heart sank. "Um Chip. Your brother…. He's dead."

Chip's mouth dropped.

"I'm so sorry. Again I guess this is my fault. Oh my God your brother was right about me. I am a killer." She started freaking out. "If I hadn't gotten myself into more trouble the Arrow wouldn't have shot him and he would still be alive."

"Hold on hold on hold on. Felicity. Why are you blaming yourself on his death?"

She did not know what to say.

"No. It's not your fault. It's not the Arrow's fault. It's Ken's fault. He did this to himself. He has always been up to no good at all his whole life. My brother always got himself into trouble by playing with knives. He never learned even when he got cut several times. He walked down a dark path. I got scared of him a lot, but I always tried to stay on his good side. I love my brother, but he was pain in the ass with a cold stone heart. None of this is on you Felicity. You had nothing to do with this. You were only trying to do the right thing by stopping my brother and me from committing a crime."

Felicity was speechless. She did not expect this reaction from him. She thought he would be angry with her. Blame her for his brother's death, but no. He was calm.

She walked up to him and hugged him with more tears escaping her eyes. He patted her back with his left hand.

"I'm so sorry he put you through so much pain" Chip said to her.

"Don't be sorry. This wasn't your fault." She wiped her tears away.

"You should go home Felicity. You need to rest. It was nice meeting you."

"It was nice meeting you too." She smiled.

She walked up to the door to leave.

"Thank you." Chip said to her.

She looked over her shoulder and smiled at him before walking out.

She stepped out of the room and jumped slightly when she saw Oliver standing there.

(Okay so apparently there may be a few more chapters. I did not realize how long these chapters would be. I still have more to tell with this story before it ends. Wow. I predicting at least two more chapters.)
