Flashback
"This idea is absolutely crazy Oliver," Felicity remarked shaking her head.
"I know, but its something they wouldn't expect," Oliver answered taking her hand and meeting her eyes. "It's unthinkable."
"How does this thing even work anyway? To me it looks like you are using the Vulcan Death Grip on me," Felicity continued warily,
"It's something I learned on Lian Yu. I just need them to think you are dead. I'll wake you up before they take me anywhere. Something tells me they aren't going to kill me quickly. After I'm gone, I want you to get on that jet and try to get the radio to work. I'll take out the two of them and meet you back at the jet," Oliver explained laying out the plan.
"How are you going to take on the two of them at once? You don't even have a weapon?" Felicity asked concerned.
"Look what I found on that co-pilot," Oliver replied pulling something out from his waistband behind his back. In his hands was a small pocket knife.
"Okay but how are you going to take them both at once?" She persisted.
"I'll wait til they are separated. Felicity, trust me. I can do this," Oliver insisted. Felicity let out a huff.
"Okay, okay," she mumbled putting her complete faith in him. "So when are you going to grip me Spock? Wait that kind of sounded dirty. You know what I mean..."
"I'm glad to see that you haven't lost your babbling abilities," Oliver grinned.
"Yes those are still very much so intact. Anyways, when would you like to knock me out? It's been a few hours and I'm sure the Dynamic Duo isn't going to wait around forever."
"Half an hour. When they get here I'll act as if I'm trying to wake you up from a nap, and you won't wake up," Oliver said seeming to think out loud.
"Whoa Leonardo, I better not miss an Oscar worthy performance," Felicity teased.
" I thought he hasn't won any Oscars? Did he win one when I was on the island?" Oliver asked confused.
"No, sadly not. He already has like four Oscars in my book though," Felicity confessed.
"What do you think Slade is doing ?" Felicity asked out of the blue.
"I don't know," Oliver admitted his eyes shifting towards the sandy ground. "I wish I could get in contact with them somehow. If he hurts anyone..."
"I've thought about it some. I honestly don't think he sabotaged the plane. Why would he do something that could kill you if he wants to watch you suffer. For all he knows we are both dead, and his long, thought out plan is ruined," Felicity said expressing her opinion.
"Slade is smart. I agree with you that he didn't do this, but I'm scared he may retaliate on the people I am close to," Oliver worried.
They both sat there in silence not knowing how to respond to that. The silence lingered for several minutes until Oliver stood up.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
"No, but do it anyway," she said bracing herself.

Felicity POV
It felt like I was floating in space. It was pitch black dark. I couldn't hear or feel anything. Like an astronaut who was lost in space, I felt like I was lost in a soundless void. That was until everything came back at once as if I had hit the warp speed button. I felt pressure under my chin as all my senses came rushing back. I took a deep breath and was about to open my eyes when I felt Oliver's lips against my ear.
"Play dead," he whispered before he let out a body shaking sob. A second later he was ripped away from me. Continuing the ruse, I lifelessly slumped to the ground. I heard Oliver let out a grunt of pain. Kai's voice ordered the wolf to take it easy. With a few threats, Oliver was lead into the jungle by Kai.
He better come walking out of that jungle in one piece. He has to. Right?
Triple checking to make sure the coast was clear, I used what little strength I had to force my body back up on its feet. I limped across the sandy beach to the beat up front half of the jet.
How the hell am I supposed to get up there? I have one good leg and one good arm.
Hoping adrenaline would ease the pain, I climbed up on the wing using my good arm. Cautiously, I inched my way up onto the jet . I reached the broken window for the cockpit and braced myself for pain.
Letting out a deep breath I fell into the window landing onto the floor. My burnt leg hit the ground hard and it took everything I had inside not to scream to the top of my lungs. My leg throbbed as I clenched my fingers into a fist. I bit my bottom lip to keep me from screaming. The taste of blood washed over my taste buds as I realized I was biting down too hard.
Releasing my lips, I took heavy breaths. Beads of sweat rolled down my forehead as I waited for the throbbing to slow. With each throb the pain slowly lightened until it returned back to the sharp, lingering pain it had been previously.
Feeling like I had recovered enough, I eased myself back on my feet. Looking around the cockpit, I saw the radio Oliver had mentioned. I tried hitting a few buttons, but had no success. Next I began messing with some wires. Five minutes later and I was still at square one.
"Have you tried turning it on and off again?" I muttered to myself jokingly.
Looking out the window, I noticed something moving on the borderline of the jungle.
Oliver? My brain instantly thought hoping for the best. It can't be him... That was way too fast.
A grey blur appeared out of the jungle. My heart sank down to my stomach as I watched the blur search the area I had just been in. The wolf was after me.
Was Oliver dead? Were they already done with him?
As if it read my thoughts, the wolf turned and looked in my direction. It knew where I was, and if I didn't think of something quick, I was going to die for real this time.
