Not always as they seem 21

Felicity looked to Oliver and whispered " You can't expose your identity! Don't even think what you are thinking." Oliver turned to her and looked at her with a stunned expression, "Felicity they are here for you... why?" he asked as they began moving away from the armed guards that were surrounding them. Felicity gulped and hissed "I don't know... but they are going to be hurting soon where's Sarah?" Oliver poked his head up from behind the pew and scanned the area before ducking back down and saying "The canary is gone, we just have to wait for her to make her move before we can get out of here."

But before Felicity could reply one of the masked gun men spotted them and was at Felicity's side in a instant, "Sir I found her." he grabbed Felicity's upper arm making her eyes flare in anger before Oliver moved to tackle him only to have a barrel of a gun pressed to the back of his skull as a voice hissed "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Oliver's teeth clenched but remained still as Felicity locked eyes with him before sliding on her panicked face and questioning "What do you want with me? I am a no one... well not a no one but certainly not someone who should be getting this kind of attention." she began to babble and that made the mask men visibly roll their eyes.

Felicity was subconsciously remembering where she disguised all her weapons on her body, the man pulled her away from Oliver and she caught sight of the barrel of the assault rifle pointed at her. "You Ms. Smoak are coming with us if you refuse I start killing people." his voice was stern and dark which immediately made Felicity glare at him. She looked around the room and took note of the other two attackers by the door, she spotted the judge and Jory hiding in bundles afraid for their lives. Thea locked eyes with Felicity in fear before she looked to Diggle who had pulled out his gun but was out numbered waiting for someone to act.

Detective Lance was with Laurel hiding across from Dig, Roy and Thea, Felicity finally stopped calculating and started acting as she spoke "You know I don't take threats to my friends kindly, you four should really reconsider why your here." before they could fully comprehend what she just said she head butted the masked man behind her elbowed him hard in the ribs before pulling one of her knives from her sleeve and slicing his wrist that held the gun making him howl in pain and he dropped the gun. She yelled at the freaked out people as she lunged at the boss with another knife wielded in her hand "Everyone get out!" Diggle and Lance both started firing at the guards at the door while Oliver began fighting the assailant that Felicity had nearly chopped his wrist off and was barely keeping himself upright with Oliver's precise attacks. Everyone was scrambling to the back exit completely ignoring the fact that both Oliver and Felicity should not be showing these types of skills.

The court room door flew open and two more masked assailants surged through the room and began firing at Lance and Diggle, Felicity was mad as she attacked the boss of the assailants stabbing him any place that showed skin. Oliver looked out the open court room doors to see Sarah ( The canary) with her bow staff fighting four masked assassins as the rest began to flood in the room. Felicity groaned as the boss manage to catch her wrist and twist it behind her as she felt sharp pain shoot through her body but as fast as he had her she was released.

She spun around to see Laurel disarming him and she hissed as a bullet lodged in her right shoulder, she spun to attack the person who shot her and unleashed two throwing style knives into his body one hitting his shoulder exactly where he had shot her and the other embedding itself in his left thigh. Shots were going off and grunts and cries of pain were all Felicity could hear till a female scream echoed through the room making everyone freeze in terror. Felicity spun around to see Laurel unconscious on the ground, Roy holding his stomach as he spit out blood and Thea being held at gun point by none other than the boss of the assailants.

"You really are your mothers daughter Ms. Felicity, all of you put your weapons down or Ms. Queen here will need a new brain." he threatened digging the barrel of his gun into Thea's temple deeper eliciting a whimper from the young Ms. Queen. Felicity gasped as Oliver growled but didn't move for fear of his sisters life, the blonde IT expert cleared her throat and directed her attention to Thea. "Thea I need you take a deep breath and calm down before you pass out... Okay?" After she received a nod of understanding she looked to the assailant and spoke "My life for Thea... I will go with you and you leave her here with her family deal?"

Oliver, Roy, Dig, Sarah and even Thea all looked at Felicity in shock as the siblings exclaimed "Felicity what are you doing!? They could kill you!" Felicity turned to Oliver before she basically spoke through her eyes saying 'don't worry I have a plan.' He frowned and begged "Felicity don't do this." but his pleading was to late, she walked toward the assailant who nodded to one of his men who proceeded to grab Felicity aiming the gun at her head before all the attackers began moving towards the back door Thea and Felicity both being dragged away. As soon as they were in the nearby alley Felicity spoke "Let Thea go we had a deal!" the man in the mask chuckled before replying "We never agreed on that and besides we will need leverage to make sure you cooperate, if you disobey what we say we will kill her."

Thea's eyes widen in terror as she struggled to keep from sobbing, Felicity on the other hand went tense as she realized that these men were willing to use her friends to get her to behave... And she didn't like it. A idea suddenly came to her "This reminds me of a story... Speedy and the assassin. What I really liked about it was when Speedy understood when to close her eyes." she said subtly looking at Thea whose eyes widen. There was sirens heard in the distance and Felicity understood that she had very little time to get out of her current predicament. Felicity looked to Thea and gave her a quick curt nod before she pulled the knife from the assailants belt and jammed it into his thigh making him howl in pain as she pulled it out and slashed his chest deeply before she grabbed his gun turning to Thea's assailant and shooting him in the calf subconsciously releasing the young miss queen who sprung from his reach and ran back into the court house screaming "Ollie! Ollie quick! Detective Lance someone!" trying to get help for Felicity.

Felicity shot the four masked assailants before she was forced to use her knife and zeroed in on the last remaining assailant... The boss. "Look you don't know who you are dealing with lady... You refusing to come is putting your friends and family up for death role." he said as he pulled his knife and wielded it in a defensive position readying for her attack. She glared at him before spitting out "No you have no idea who you are dealing with... You threaten my friends you threaten me." Felicity lunged at him and their movements became a blur as she avoided all his slashes while he only manage to block two of her slashes but not the other six. He grunted as she punched him in the neck making him trip over himself and fall to the ground on his back.

She jumped on him and put the knife to his neck as she hissed "Who sent you!? Tell me now!" she ordered pushing the knife deeper into his neck as her teeth gritted together in uncontrolled rage. He gulped before saying "He is too powerful... Nothing you do can stop him your mother tried and failed." Felicity's heart stopped and eyes widen at the mention of her mom, she pushed the knife in deeper desperate to understand as she asked "WHO DO YOU WORK FOR!? WHO KILLED MY MOTHER!?" her face was livid and the man attempted to free himself only to have her Stab him through his hand and repeat "WHO DO YOU WORK FOR!?"

The man screamed and she could hear the sirens even closer she looked to him desperately and with tears beginning to form in her eyes she pushed the knife further now slicing slightly into his sensitive skin. She pushed on his various wounds with her body and he finally cried out "Greg! I WORK FOR GREG PETERSON!" Felicity felt as though the air hand been knocked from her lungs as she was both shocked and angry... She looked at the man and punched him hard in the face knocking him out. She stumbled away from him with tears in her eyes as she muttered "My mom was murdered."
