Hey, guys, sorry it's been so long! I've just been tied down with school. -_- Yeah, school sucks...anyways I hope you like this chapter. I'm also sad to tell you that it will soon be coming to an end, but I promise Olicity fans...you'll have a field day at the epilogue. Oh and this is a long one.

Chapter 10

Oliver and Felicity walked through the snow and looked at a large building like structure that stood in the distance before them. Diggle, Roy, and Katana not far behind.

"How do you know Ra al Ghul won't see you?" Felicity asked quietly as fear began to fill her. Oliver took her trembling hand and gave it a squeeze.

"He's not here, well that's what Katana told me." He replied. Felicity still look hesitant and a bit scared. "Hey..." He sighed, stopping to look at her, their hands still joined. "You've been really brave, and as much as it scares me to see you with that bow and those arrows..." Oliver said, glancing at the quiver hanging loosely on her back and the arrow attached to her side. "You're not that bad, but I have to say...I always dreamed of wanting to teach you how to use a bow."

"Oh...really?" Felicity asked smirking.

"I..just said that out loud did I?" Oliver asked a smile tugging at his lips.

"Yep!" Felicity said, popping the 'p'. Oliver shook his head as he chuckled and they both continued walking. "And...I may be 'okay' but I could still use some pointers." She used her hands to do air quotes at 'okay', then slipped her hand back into Oliver's. Oliver chuckled again.

"If you're up for it." Oliver countered, smirking.

"Oh, you bet, Queen...I just hope an oldie like you can keep up with a youngster like me." Felicity said confidently.

"Did you say than I'm an oldie...and you're a youngster?" Oliver asked, his eyebrow raised.

Felicity laughed, "I'm just kidding. Even though you're an oldie I'm pretty sure you'll catch up."

For some odd reason, there were no guard waiting for them, and they didn't have to be so stealthy, although taking precautions didn't hurt them.

They saw Nyssa talking to a person both Oliver and Katana knew as Maseo. Roy looked to Katana who had clenched fist.

"What happened with her?" Roy whispered to Diggle. Diggle elbowed him in the gut as a way to tell him to shut up so they could all hear the conversation.

"So, you believe that Oliver is alive, and his sister killed Talia?" Maseo asked.

"Under the influences of Malcom Merlyn. She has taken shelter in one of you're old safe spots, until my father returns. Then they will duel." Nyssa replied. "Now, go back to sleep so you can take the next watch. Oliver and his team will no doubt come looking for Thea, and I don't feel like losing more guards then I have at my hand." Nyssa replied.

"What?!" Felicity whispered and looked at Oliver with wide eyes.

"Nyssa knows where Thea is, Ra al Ghul won't be here till 2 days. It took us a couple of hours to get here, and we can't just sit around and wait. We're going to be exposed in the sunlight in a couple of hours. Let's just go up there and ask her where Thea is." Oliver replied.

"Uh, what if she doesn't tell?" Felicity asked.

"Then we make her." Roy answered.

"And if she calls a bunch of guards?" Felicity countered.

"We take them out." Diggle replied.

Katana stayed quiet the whole time...

With everyone's faces concealed by masks, and the light of dawn, they moved closer to Nyssa.

"Who trespasses?" She asked, her voice loud and confident. Her hand gripping the sword.

"Oliver Queen."

"So, it is true. You are alive." Nyssa replied. "You are all too late if you want to catch the youngest Queen." Nyssa replied sadly.

"Nyssa, just tell us where she went." Oliver demanded.

"I can not. I made a promise." Nyssa replied.

"Nyssa, I know you don't want Thea to die. So, I advise you to tell us where she went." Roy growled.

"Fine, I care greatly for the youngest Queen, but I promised not to tell. Go to the mountain in 2 days. That's when they duel should start. That's all I can help you with." Nyssa said. "Now, go before I actually have to hurt you all."

Team Arrow grumbled before giving up, knowing that their best bet was to meet Thea when the duel would take place. They all started to turn around, but Nyssa got a glance at Katana, who was keeping to the shadows. She opened her mouth to say something, but decided not to. She had done enough for them, they could handle Katana.

"Wait, so we're really just going to have to wait...two days?" Roy asked as they all got back to the cave.

"Roy, our best bet is to beat Thea there. Then...I'll challenge Ra al Ghul again." Oliver replied.

"Oliver, you can't! You're still in critical condition! I know Katana...brought you back to life and stuff with her magical powers, but it doesn't mean you're invincible." Felicity said as she sat up from her spot near the fire.

"Felicity, what choice do we have?" Oliver asked.

"Oliver..." She pleaded as she looked into his eyes.

"Felicity, I can handle myself." Oliver replied.

"YEAH! You handled yourself sooooo well the last time!" Felicity exclaimed sarcastically.

"I know his moves now Felicity. Please, j-just trust me." Oliver asked as he held her hand in his.

Felicity let out a sigh, knowing this was a fight she couldn't win. "Oliver, people need you. They need the Arrow. Starling City has been chaotic."

"I was only gone 1 week...maybe 2?" Oliver chuckled.

"Well, Laural's holding off the baddies the best she can on her own but-"

"Wait, Laural?" Oliver asked his eyebrows raised.

"Oh, yeah. Laural took on the Canary mantle." Roy added as he and Diggle watched Oliver and Felicity from the other side of the cave.

The two glared at them. (Oliver and Felicity glared at Roy and Diggle)

"Just, trust me okay?" Oliver asked.

"O-Okay." Felicity replied.
