Felicity opened her eyes to find herself in her bedroom. She sat up and rubbed her head trying to remember the last thing that happened. When she shut her eyes, images of Oliver's black beady eyes crept into her mind, she shook her head. That wasn't Oliver, it was the drug doing that to him.

"Ow." She murmured, her head was throbbing slightly, her back ached and her neck was burning. She went to the bathroom mirror to see what she looked like. Felicity puffed her stray hair away from her blue eyes, she lifted her chin and saw a faint red mark on her neck. Her fingers lightly glazed the pink and tender sore. While she was checking for more marks she hard plates crash. What if the trench coat man came back to kill me too? She thought to herself as her eyes quickly darted to the door that led to the kitchen; she picked up the closest thing she could find, a stiletto heel.

"Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, please don't kill me," Felicity whispered clutching the heel to her chest as she tip toed into the kitchen. She didn't have her glasses on making it hard for her to see clearly. She hesitated when she spotted a figure with his head in the fridge.

"Here goes nothing" she murmured while charging to the figure with her heel screaming "Ahhhh!"

"What the- Felicity stop! It's me!" The person yelled. Felicity dropped the heel.

It was Roy.

Felicity groaned and turned to switch on the lights, "Rooooy, what are you doing in my house at 2 in the afternoon?"

She arched her brows when she saw Roy hiding something behind his back. Her eyes narrowed, "What are you hiding."

Roy smirked, "So many questions, you should go back to resting-"

Felicity crossed her arms, "Roy."

Roy slumped his shoulders to reveal her favorite bucket of chocolate ice cream-finished. Felicity picked up her heel, "I am so tempted to throw this at you."

Roy stuck out his tongue like a child, "Do it."

Felicity sighed and dropped the heel, the kid won… this time. "So are you going to tell me why you're in my house, or should I assume you came all the way over here just to finish my ice-cream?"

Roy shrugged, "Oliver said Digg and I should make sure you're ok until you wake up. So we decided to crash here."

Felicity looked around and noticed Diggle snoring on one of her coaches. It was a marvel how he was able to sleep there because his body was way too big for the coach. Roy chuckled, "The big guy sleeps like an oak. He didn't even wake up when I broke your plate"

Roy paused at Felicity who frowned at him, "By accident of course"

Felicity rubbed her stiff neck, "How long was I unconscious for?"

"Well the first two days you were unconscious from the amount of Vertigo you inhaled. And the last day you woke up screaming 'vertigo' and a lot worse happened … it's better you talk to Oliver about it."

Felicity saw by the intent in Roy's eyes he was very serious.

Felicity smiled, "You guys can go home now. I feel a lot better, I promise."

"You're a horrible liar; you've been stroking your neck and wincing."

"I'm even ready to go back to work," Felicity huffed, "Ray's going to be furious that I didn't tell him where I've been for the past three days."

Roy shook his head, "Oliver had a feeling you'd say that."

Felicity crossed her arms, "So what you're just going to put me on house arrest?" Roy nodded, "Oliver's orders"

Felicity's head throbbed; she needed a change of scenery. Felicity put on sneakers that were discarded by her tv.

"Roy, I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself."

"What are you doing Felicity?"

Felicity was looking around the table and saw Diggle car keys, Bingo. "Tell Diggle I'll be back, I just want to tell Ray I was sick for a few days."

"You could just call him. Like a normal person."

Felicity turned and waved "Bye Roy."

Roy shook his head as he watched her walk out; the vertigo must have really messed up with her head.

When she entered the building Felicity walked as fast as her feet could carry her. Ray is going to kill me.

As she passed the front desk Cindy shouted, "Girl, Mr. Palmers gonna kill you."

Felicity entered the elevator and before it closed shouted back "Trust me, I know Cindy!"

She quickly combed through her stray hairs and huffed when it bounced back to its untidy position. She removed her ribbon and let her hair fall down to her shoulders, it would look a lot better than the mess it was before. As the elevator dinged open she turned to her office.

She closed her eyes and twisted the door knob.

Same as usual Ray was working on his blue file, his eyes flitted up before continuing his work.

"Mr. Palmer, I know I'm late but let me explain. I... I had an allergic reaction to a ... medication that I used," She revealed her red neck.

"You're late. Again."

Felicity chuckled at herself; she was going to set a record soon on this.

"Is that your way of saying you miss me." She inwardly kicked herself, her blabbering around Ray was getting worse.

Ray frowned and looked up at her, "This isn't funny Ms. Smoak. In this company, my company you don't come late. You don't skip work to play with your boyfriend and you most certainly do not show up at my office unannounced without a notice."

Felicity rolled her eyes and set her bag on her table, "this is my first time, and last time doesn't count, I'm never late."

Ray stood up and opened his cabinet before looking up from her attendance sheet, "You mean you're never put down as late. Looking at your attendance you and Oliver arrived at the same time and he excused you for every. Single. One." He flipped through more pages "What a coincidence."

"What does my attendance sheet mean to you?"

"In order to rebuild this company, I need to know what went wrong. "

Felicity shrugged and set her tablet in front of her "So what does that have to do with me?"

"There were many investors eager and ready to buy stocks after Moira was predicted to have won as Mayor. It would have made this company skyrocket but it seems that it was the time you and Oliver left work the most. This wasn't by chance. Oliver lost this company for a reason, Smoak, he maybe you distracted him"

She remembered that was during the time Slade had arrived in Starling and they were trying to plan how to stop him.

Felicity gawked, "What a bunch of baloney."

"Aren't you two dating?"

"Yes, bu-"

Ray put up his hand, "I rest my case"

Felicity shook her head in disbelief "Let me get this straight. You are ignoring Isabel Rochev's past motives who clearly declared she wanted to bring this company to the ground and now you are trying to say I'm responsible for Oliver losing his job."

Ray glared and walked over to her, "Then explain to me why and how you two always arrived at work at the same time."

Felicity avoided his glare, "Coincidence."

He threw the paper in front of her, "and managed to slip out of work early together even though Queens consolidated ends at 6."

She crossed her arms, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"It seems to me like you two were skipping work for a romantic rendezvous, I don't know, and nor do I care. But one thing I do care about is playing by the rules. I'm not here because my dad was rich like Mr Queen, I'm here because I worked for it."

"Well good for you."

Ray turned to face her, "I don't care if you and Oliver were more than friends in the office, but right now, I'm your boss. Not your friend."

She shrieked, "Seriously Ray?" She realized Oliver was right, she made a big mistake coming here. Ray was making her head throb even more. She groaned, she needed Oliver, he knew how to lie, and she was terrible at it.

"One more thing Smoak, don't ever call me Ray at work. Or I will fire you"

She stood up and slammed her hand on his desk. Ow. She thought.

"You know what Ray? I have been nice, I have been understanding, but I have had it with your disrespectful remarks…"

Ray stood up and leaned closer, "Do you want to get fired?"

Felicity closed her eyes shaking her head while letting out a weak laugh, "You can't fire me, I'm quitting Ray."

She stormed out the room with her bag and slammed the door ignoring him calling her name. When she entered Diggle's car she frowned, now what?

She definitely didn't feel like herself, it must be the after effects from the Vertigo. She called Oliver 3 times but he didn't answer. Probably busy, she thought to herself, but deep at the back of her mind she couldn't help feeling that Oliver was ignoring her.


I tried to keep the beginning a bit more light than the last chapter. What do you guys think about Felicity quitting her job?
