Felicity woke up in Oliver's arms. She reveled on being there, sitting on his lap, her arms wrapped around his body her head on his shoulder. His soft breathing told her he was sleeping.

She moved her head very carefully, not to wake Oliver up. She looked outside the window. They were passing Starling City sign.

"Mr. Diggle, I'm sorry."

"For what? And please call me Diggle."

"Deceiving you like that."

Dig couldn't help but smile.

"You were clever, I give you that."

"I had to. I was exhausted and broken. But not anymore."

She focus on Oliver's breathing and the soothing rhythm of his heartbeat.

The car pulled up in front of her apartment building.

Oliver woke up with the sudden stop. Like a dream Felicity was right there holding him.

"Hi"

She kissed him playfully.

"Hi, sleepy head. So my house?"

"You asked me to get you home if I recall correctly."

"I did didn't I. I'm real clever like that."

"Dig, go home. Get some rest."

"Will do."

Going up to her house brought back painful memories, ones he would have to address.

Has he closed the door behind them the memory of all the pain he felt last time he was there started to overwhelm him. He needed her now, he needed to clear all memory of pain, he needed her to fill the void that was still in him.

Then he heard her say

"Home sweet home."

And she turn to him smiling happy. He kissed her hard. It was hot, all demanding and she welcomed it. And then he knew he was lost but this time he was reveling in it.

Later when the need for each other was sated and were both too exhausted to move.

"This is where I discovered that I love you."

She looked up, kissed his chest and started to trace it with her finger slowly, gently.

"Tommy spilled a lot of truth on me that day. It made me realize how wrong I was about... everything in my life really. I was so blind to you, to Tommy. I was so wrapped around myself I made my closest friends into props in this imaginary world I lived in. Props who existed only for my own convenience, I was oblivious to there needs, their loves, I was..."

He was starting to relive it in his mind, going back to that day, that pain. Felicity had to stop it.

She pulled herself up just enough to look him in the eye an put a finger over his lips.

"Shhh. Don't. Please don't. Don't blame yourself like that. You couldn't have known about my feelings, I was hiding them. I'm pretty good doing that."

He kissed the finger on his lips and brought it to his chest

"Yes you are. Why, Felicity?"

"I don't see myself all that special, I'm just a regular girl. And you... you are Oliver Queen, The Oliver Queen."

He laugh "You, a regular girl... you are anything but, Felicity. You never were, at least not to me. You are my light and my world. I love you, Felicity Smoak."

He kissed her.

"I love you, Oliver Queen. And I'm not tired anymore."

A wicked smile crossed his lips as he rolled her over.

Oliver was starting to feel hungry. It had been the best hours? days? of his life but he need to eat. He would take her out some place quiet and familiar.

But suddenly he remember.

"Felicity, your closets are empty. How are you going to get dressed for us to get out."

She could hardly move, the last thing in her mind were clothes.

"The importance of clothes is overrated. Besides I'm not moving out of this bed just yet."

Felicity moved slowly to face Oliver. A grin in her face

"And neither are you."

Oh God this was hard. "I have to eat something..."

Her grin got stronger

Oliver roll his eyes

"You know what I mean. And you need to have something to eat too."

He was serious and he was right. Now that he called her attention to it she found out she was starving.

"Your right. Only one way this could work. I still have my clothes from yesterday, except panties."

"Oh... yes, your right." He had kind of shred them in the heat of the moment.

"So... like I said. Only one way this could work - commando style." she joked

"Oh God, please don't to this to me."

"Sorry to tell you, you did it to yourself." she kissed his nose and sat up.

"Yes I did, didn't I" an amused smile on his face.

"Humm, hummm. Now am I going to be alone in the shower or will I have some company?"

Oliver sat up, his feet on the floor.

"With company it is then."

She enter the bathroom has Oliver's phone rang. It was Diggle.

"Dig. Something wrong?"

"Oliver, the shack explosion made the news, they are reporting it as a gas explosion, and no reference to Megan Smoke was made. Felicity's dad sure is good at covering tracks. There's only one problem. Oliver, some died in the explosion. We saw correctly yesterday, someone was in the house. The media are informing it was the tenant."

"Which we know it wasn't. Who could it be?"

"Trough SCPD I manage to ascertain they couldn't ID the remains. I would be willing to bet it's Cooper. The fact my team couldn't find him when he's on such a small area that is Coast City makes me think it's him. The only way to be sure is trough DNA."

"Can you access the DNA?"

"No, but we both know who can."

Oliver looked back at the bathroom door.

"I'll talk to her."

They finally manage to get out of the house. To his surprise she insisted on going to Belly Burger's.

"I'm so hungry I could eat two of these."

Oliver smiled openly

"Don't get cocky. Oh crap. Forget I said that."

He laugh.

"Did I mention I love you."

"Yes but it's always wonderful to ear it again."

She kissed him softly "I love you too."

"Now let me eat" she winked at him "I need to improve my energy levels."

He smiled but not for long. He had to bring up the Cooper situation.

"Oliver, what's wrong?" she grab his hand "I can see something is wrong what is it? Please, tell me."

"Diggle called. There was someone inside the cottage when it blew up."

"What? Who?"

"Officially, Megan Smoke, but we know better. Dig thinks it was Cooper but we can't be sure unless..."

"... unless someone would hack the lab, to get the DNA, and the NSA, to make a comparison to one of their agents."

"That's about right."

"It's settled then.", she let his hand go and got to finish her food.

"Now someone told me I need some clothes, I guess I should buy some until I can get my stuff back from Vegas. Then there's a lot of things I have to do at home. I have a very demanding man in my life now, you know."

"Would you mind if, your very demanding man, leave you alone for a while. I need to get some clothes for myself at Queen's Mansion."

"Of course I don't mind. Provided you don't keep me waiting long. I'll miss you terribly, though."

"I won't be long, my beautiful very demanding woman."

And he left after kissing her forehead.

Felicity got back home with the new clothes. She put the clothes to the side, took her tablet and immediately started working.

Has the hack was making it's way trough the Lab and the NSA system's she called her mom.

"Felicity"

"Hi mom."

"Sweetheart, you're with Oliver. He said he was going to find you soon. I'm so happy for you, baby. Are you happy? Of course you are what a silly question for me to ask."

How did she do that? She had only said "Hi".

"I won't keep you, sweetie. Oh I'm so excited."

Donna hang up in the face of a stunned Felicity.

The hack on the Lab worked. She manage to retrieve the DNA signature. And just in time, has her father was also in the system, and a moment later the data was destroyed along with the sample itself.

The NSA system was harder to hack into but she managed, after some attempts, and she made the comparison.

Oliver came in without Felicity noticing. She was so focused on her tablet little wrinkles danced on her forehead and he watch as they disappeared and were replaced by a smile.

"Hi" he walked closer "What you'doing?"

"It was Cooper. I've just check."

She was good, impressive good.

"It's done, Oliver. He's gone."

He hold her.

"He will never come back to hurt you ever again, Felicity."

"Oliver. Now that my work is done." She looked back at Oliver "I think I deserve a reward."

He pick her up and took her to the bedroom. That was an easy request to fulfill.
