Not always as they seem 26
That night Mark goes over multiple police reports relating to the mass shooting at the court house, his face twists in horror as he watched his daughter punched and shot. He threw his glass of scotch at the wall in rage before he yelled "Jacob!" Almost instantly Jacob was at the entrance of his fathers room with a concerned expression plastered on his face. Mark has a deadly expression on his face "You have twenty four hours to convince my daughter to come willingly or I send in Death Venom along with Bone Breaker and Katana. I love Felicity but her stubbornness must end. Dismissed." He orders in a quiet tone making Jacobs neck hairs stand on end.
He marched to his room and collapsed on the bed shoulders dropped in exhaustion, he looked to the time and frowned 8:45 pm... "My twenty four hours begin soon." He grabs his phone and texts a friend.
(Ten hours later - 6:45 am the next morning)
Oliver watches Felicity as she sleeps peacefully, he moves from the window when he hears her whimper in pain. He turns around to see Felicity breathing heavily while she tossed and turned through the beginnings of a nightmare. Oliver bit his lip as he quietly moved to her side, his hand went out to shake her when she mumbled "No! Don't ! Please ... Oliver... Run!" she begins thrashing around and her face looks pained "NOO! Let him go!" Oliver ducks as Felicity fist flies at his face.
His eyes widen when she suddenly exclaims "You killed him! No... You... You killed Oliver!" her voice sounds distressed making Oliver shake her shoulder in a attempt to wake her from this terrible nightmare. She springs up hands clamp around Oliver's wrist and she flips him over faster than he can Blink he is pinned beneath her and her eyes are wild still in the nightmare. Oliver looks up at her and gently whispers "Felicity wake up..." she begins to squeeze his arms enough to break the skin and he groans trying to muffle the pain. Felicity begins to shake uncontrollably and Oliver is forced to take desperate measures, he leans up and captures her lips with his own, she stills on top of him and her eyes blink rapidly.
Felicity felt a warm sensation on her lips and her nightmare evaporated from site, she looked down and she saw that it was Oliver's lips on hers. She noticed she had him pinned and his eyes were pleading with her to release him, she squeaked in surprise and scrambled off of him hitting her head on the wall in the process. " Ow" she whimpers rubbing the back of her head as Oliver sits up cautiously. "I am sorry Oliver... I have no idea what came over me." she explains looking away from him in embarrassment. Oliver hooks to fingers on under her chin and gently moves her to face him "it's okay Felicity you were having a nightmare and I made the mistake of shaking you to try to wake you instead I ended up pinned. Your faster than when your in the lair." he says with a smirk.
She smiles at him before she remembered that they were kissing when she woke up and this thought of course caused her to blush before hesitantly asking "Ummm how did we get from me having a nightmare to suddenly kissing you? I mean not that I don't like kissing you, I like kissing you a lot but I just want to know how it happened... You know if it was on purpose or if it was a mistake... Not that kissing you could ever be a mistake . Annnnndddd I am babbling again." she puts her head into her hands. Oliver bites his lip to keep from laughing and instead carefully replied "I didn't want to hurt you but your grip is deadly and it was the only thing I could thing of to wake you up."
Felicity instantly looks down to his arms to see finger nail impressions that actually drew blood, she gasps in shock and dashes from the bed to get a clean wet rag. "I am sooooo sorry! I don't know how that happened I didn't mean to hurt you Oliver." she apologizes as she sits beside him and puts the cloth to the small cuts bleeding. Oliver smiles at Felicity before saying "Felicity... It's okay... I am fine please stop blaming yourself." Felicity sighs in defeat and notices that it is morning, she gets off her bed and heads to the kitchen for some coffee knowing that today will probably be full of surprises that she can't face without a good cup of coffee.
Oliver silently follows her to which she offers "Coffee?" he immediately nods. As they drank coffee and converse with each other their is suddenly a knock at her door, making Felicity furrow her eyebrows in surprise. She grabbed her butter knife mutely signaling Oliver that this wasn't a expected visit, he walked with her to the door before she threw open the door only to grab the persons collar pull him in and pin to the wall by the door much to both men's surprise. Oliver shut the door as Felicity exclaimed "Jake where is he!? He was there and then he wasn't why!?" she asks pressing the butter knife to his neck fully serious. Jacob cleared his throat before replying desperately "He knew it was going to happen! That's why he went with Michael to try to stop you from staying when it happened but you wouldn't listen."
He pushed her away purposely hitting her stab wound to which she hissed in pain glaring at her brother because she knew he did it on purpose. Oliver immediately moved to Felicity's side ready to pounce when she whispered "Oliver don't." He looked down at her with confusion but ultimately backed down at her defeated expression. She looked to Jacob and said "He should know better than to try and get me to do anything... He turned me into who I am and for that I am forever grateful but he will never get me to trust him ever again. He has so many secrets ... Jacob if you only knew half the secrets I know about him thanks to hacking you would despise him as much as I do."
Jacob straightened his shirt before he replied " Felicity no matter what our father does there is one thing that I have never doubted and that was his need to protect you. He will stop at nothing to protect you even if it means going against your will to do it. Come with me and he won't have to take things to the extreme ... If you ignore the warning something worse than yesterday's events shall take place." Felicity and Oliver understand the threat but Felicity sees that her brother is genuinely pleading with her and she doesn't know exactly what to do but one thing she knows for sure is that she will never go to her father. She bites her lip before saying " I will walk you back to your car... Oliver I will be right back."
Oliver looks ready to protest but Felicity's puppy eyes silence him.
Meanwhile in a abandoned spoofed up warehouse on the other side of Starling city.
"Mr. Peterson what are your orders? Bravo squad was unable to retrieve Mark Phillips daughter." asks Steve Jenson cautiously Greg Peterson turns around with a manacle laugh before evilly replying "We use her friends as leverage over her. What else ?"
