Oliver had turned round to face the roof when he had heard the first shot and he saw Helena fall off the roof he was about to walk over to where he had seen her fall to check if she was dead when he heard his name.

"Oliver.." called a voice faintly which made Oliver turn; the sight that beheld him was Felicity staring at him with her blue eyes full of terror. He noticed her legs slowly giving way and rushed over to her to catch her, which was when he noticed the blood flowing out of her stomach. He placed his hand on her wound and firmly but panicky placed pressure on it; the blood slowed a little but it started to seep through his fingers. He turned to look at Felicity who was staring at Oliver with her intense blue eyes,

"She will pay for this I promise you." swore Oliver as he applied more pressure on her wound. Felicity smiled at him and placed a hand on his check, then Oliver lowered his head and kissed her. He suddenly felt her weight in his arms get heavier; he looked at her and she gave him one last smile before unconsciousness took her.

Once Logan had left the warehouse moments after Diggle, he went over to the others and stood next to Diggle. He looked down and saw that Oliver was fine which was when it dawned on him the gun didn't shoot Oliver it hit Felicity. He looked at Diggle and saw that he was in shock, then he was Oliver began to reach for his phone and dialed 911. The phone answered after 3 rings,

"911 what's your emergency?" A woman said in a serious tone, he wasn't sure how he was going to explain why they were there but for now he had to get help;

"my friend; Felicity has been shot and we need an ambulance immediately, she's bleeding out fast." He knew he probably sounded desperate but he didn't care he was.

"Sir, what is your location?" Oliver cursed himself; he couldn't remember the address.

"I don't know the address; I'm at the old abandoned warehouse." The line was silent for a moment apart from typing from the other end.

"Do not worry Sir, Im using the GPS in your phone to find your location and help will be there ASAP, I have to go now please stay where you are." The line then went dead, Oliver looked at himself and realised he was was carrying his equipment.

Rushing to the trunk of his car he pulled it open and started to remove his outfit, throwing his weapons and clothes into the car he shut the trunk and rushed back over to Felicity who was gradually getting more pale. He looked around and realised that Logan was missing,

"DIGGLE!" He shouted, and Diggle snapped out of his shock, relief appeared on Oliver's face

"Go find Logan, the ambulance is coming and I need to stay with Felicity." Diggle nodded and walked off to find Logan.

Logan slowly started to head in the direction of where Helenas body landed. He dreaded each step he took as each one brought him closer to Helena's lifeless body which was a sight he didn't want to see. He started to remember the first time they met and when he started to fall for her all though she could do bad things I still love her, but I never got the chance to tell her.

He approached the dumpster and saw blood smeared across, he walked around careful not to step in the blood and braced himself for the worse. He abruptly stopped and had to hold onto the dumpster before he fell over in shock; her body was gone.

"Wh-what?" He said out loud to nobody, he started furiously checking inside the dumpster, underneath and outside but there was no sign of her anyway just a trail of blood that quickly ended in the middle of the road. Little did he know was that Diggle was watching everything happening, slowly he crept up behind him and slammed him into the wall.

"YOU! Your still working with her, she shot Felicity because of you." He shouted into Logan's face who looked terrified.

"What? I tried to stop her, I stopped working with her a long time ago. If you remember I was the one who knocked her out with her laptop!" He was angry, Diggle had no right to accuse him of working with her; sure he was at first but knocking her out and saving them should have proved he wasn't any more.

Diggle was stuck; Logan was right he did stop her, he wouldn't just go back to her after that and she definitely wouldn't let him back after that. He removed his grip from him and took a step back "Then tell me Logan why didn't you stop her from shooting?" He looked up at Logan and hoped that he had a good reason.

Logan didn't reply for a moment but then he told him the truth,

"I did honestly, at first I couldn't she said if I took another step closer she would shoot so I waited for a window of opportunity, then when I saw one I jumped at her but she shot anyway hitting Felicity-" he paused for a moment before continuing

"s-she lost her footing, I tried to help her but I was too late and that was when she hit the ground." He stopped and hoped Diggle believed him, Diggle didn't know what to do; his story obviously was believable and he knew deep down Logan wasn't working for her,

"Fine, I believe you." Logan let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that.

"I need to go find her; wherever she is gone she is still dangerous and needs to be stopped. Go with Oliver and Felicity tell them what has happened and I'll see you whenever I guess. Take care Diggle."

Diggle didn't say anything but just watched him leave and hoped that maybe he would find her and end her reign of terror. He could hear the ambulance sirens screeching and rushed back to Oliver and Felicity. Oliver looked up with a puzzled look on his face,

"I'll explain later but for now Felicity needs help, I'll take the car you go with her in the ambulance." Oliver nodded and the paramedics rushed over to help, and Diggle got the keys from Oliver and got into the car.

Oliver held Felicity's hand as she was put onto the stretcher and moved intot he back of the ambulance. He brushed a strand of hair out of her face and gently caressed her face with his hand. The paramedics where busy tending to Felicitys wound when one gestured for Oliver to move to the seat furthur down the ambulance.

"What's her name" asked the female paramedic; she had auburn hair which was done up in a messy ponytail and she had freckles scattered lightly over her nose and cheeks with bright green eyes.

"Felicity"

"Felicity im Wanda, if you can hear me squeeze my hand" ordered the female paramedic as she held Felicity's hand in hers, Felicity sqeezed her hand and the female paramedic started to ask her questions; do you hurt anywhere else?, Can you feel this?, how do you feel?

Felicity answered her questions and Wanda frantically began attaching tubes to her arms and administered morphine for her pain. Wanda began to apply pressure to the wound preventing her from bleeding out. She grabbed her walkie talkie with the other hand and spoke into it "we have a young caucasian woman coming in with severe abdominal trauma. She is bleeding out fast and we need immediate help. We are fast approaching the hospital so have people ready."

The ambulance slowed to a stop and the back doors of the van were opened. A paramedic rushed in and together him and Wanda lifted the stretcher out and onto a waiting hospital bed. Doctors rushed over to examine what happened. One doctor a female started shouting at a group of doctors who Oliver supposed were interns "we need to get her in for a CT scan now!"

The interns nodded and pushed the bed into the hospital, Oliver nervously followed and smelt the strong sterile smell that most hospitals had. The bed went through many twists turns in the corridors, nurses and doctors moved out of the way and eventually they reached the ward which contained the CT machines, an intern a dark haired woman offered to wheel her in and the doctor nodded.

She wheeled her past a wooden door and into a room, Oliver tried to follow but was stopped by the doctor. "I'm sorry sir but you can't enter, you'll have to wait until she gets out of surgery. In the meantime please wait in the waiting room and we will inform you of her progress." The doctor looked sympathetic for Oliver and he nodded, he knew there was nothing he could do anyway. Sighing he walked off down the hall and towards the waiting room where he anxiously walked in. He desperately hoped that she would pull through as he knew her injuries were serious.

The thought of losing her made him feel sick to his stomach, he never realised until now that losing her could have happened so easily. It made him angry knowing how much danger doing her job put her in, this would never have happened if he hadn't of left her alone in Verdant. He just wanted to shout and kick something but he couldn't afford to get kicked out of the hospital because Felicity would need him and he was determined to be there for her.

Bottling his anger inside he impatiently waited for any news; after what seemed like hours a nurse came in "sir about Felicity" she looked worried and Oliver bolted upright slightly desperate for any news, but it didn't look good from the nurse's face and Oliver knew he wouldn't forgive himself is anything happened to her. "What is it? Is she going to be okay?" He looked for any sort of sign on the nurse's face but it was ashen, he started dreading the worst; "she's had a CT scan and it's not looking great she's suffered very bad splenic trauma; the bullet has ruptured her spleen and it needs to be removed immediately, she has been rushed into surgery for an emergency operation but the odds aren't looking too good, she's lost a lot of blood and is continuing to bleed internally. The doctors are doing their best to save your friend but her spleen will need to be removed. I'm very sorry sir." The nurse looked worried and she quickly left the waiting room to give Oliver some privacy.

Oliver slumped back down into the chair he didn't know what to think, he couldn't lose Felicity but he knew that she was a fighter and would pull through. Unfortunately that didn't soothe his nerves; eventually Diggle walked into the waiting room to find Oliver sitting with his head in his hands. He knew this could only mean trouble and he slowly walked into the room careful not to startle Oliver.

He sat down in the chair opposite Oliver and waited for him to speak, he wasn't going to ask because he could tell it was going to be bad regardless of whether he asked or not. "Diggle, it's bad. The nurse says her spleen has ruptured and she's bleeding internally and they said she" he couldn't finish and Diggle nodded. He understood what Oliver meant and he knew how much Felicity meant to him.

Oliver stood up and began to pace the room, walking back and forth he kept looking out at the nurse's station where a group of them were frantically working typing on computers, searching through files and rushing round to different rooms.

The nurse from earlier came back a few hours later but her face wasn't showing anything good; dread started to knot inside. "It's your friend Felicity, she lost a lot of blood and her heart couldn't take any more. The doctors did all they could to save her but they weren't able to. I'm so sorry for your loss." She looked upset but there wasn't anything she could do.

Diggle stood up and demanded answers, he started shouting questions at the nurse but Oliver wasn't listening everything blurred and nothing was making sense. He looked at the nurse dumbfounded. The only thought running through his head was;

Felicity is dead, my Felicity is gone.
