Woot! Two chapters i one day! Yay for snow days..well sorta :/ My car got stuck in so so I tried to push her with my mom pressing on the gas and it got no where...
anywayyyyyys, here we go! This chapter will feature a look into how Felicity operated when she was at Archive, as well as some more Lilly! This chapter is a very Felicity dominated chapter, just to let everyone know.
Felicity drove her car away from the cemetery and just kept driving until she was in the middle of the woods, there was a cabin in the woods that only a few people new about. It was down a secluded dirt path with lots of overgrown nature due to the lack of tending it got over the years. She drove up to the small cabin and got out of her car. She always kept a emergency pack in the trunk of her car. It contained three days worth of clothes, toiletries, stuff in case she gets stuck on the side of the road, and a few various weapons, and a computer that had no tie to her.
She grabbed the bag and headed up the stairs to the door when she pulled a bobby pin out of her hair and unlocked the door, letting herself in. A uneasiness familiarity settling in. She looked around at the main room, it was divided into three sections, the left side was a small living room with a hallway leading to that side of the house, the center was the main which housed a staircase to the upstairs and to the right was a small kitchen and dining area, with two hallways, one leading to the right sideo f the house, one leading to the back. She went upstairs and into one of the bedrooms and placed her bag on the bed. She threw her phone on the bed, she found no use for it, she shut it off after she left Queen Consolidated after receiving numerous texts from Dig, Moira, Thea and Oliver. She just need Space, she needed time...she needed time.
Felicity returned to Archive not longer after she got the call from Jim, it took a bit of a drive since her parents graves were farther away from Archive's base of operations. When she enter she went straight to operations to get read in. There were five agents, a provisional agent, Jim and Jedidiah standing in the room.
'This is an kill mission. This is your target.' Jim spoke as a picture came up behind him. 'His name is Richard Adamson, he has been made a target by the actions he took against us. He was behind the shooting that took three of our agents lives.' It switched to a family photo. 'This is his family, he has a wife and a daughter, she is 10, they are away on a for the weekend on a mother daughter retreat. If they're are any disruptions from anyone, you are to eliminate them, Am I clear?'
'Yes sir.' One of the agents replied.
'Felicity?' Jim asked.
'Crystal clear.' She said
'Good cause you are leading the mission.' Jim said and Felicity nodded and the agents turned to her. We are going to makes this simple, easy in, easy out, penetrate all entry's and exits of the house, clear the house room by room. Locate the target and eliminate him. We don't want any extra casualties. After the rooms are clear, we will breech the targets room. Guns will be in defense position, but as a last case scenario, we need to silence him as quietly as possible, and as discretely as possible. Torez, you're on sniper duty at vantage point A, Hewett, you are sniper on Vantage point B, the rest with me. Gear up.' She finished and left the operations room, and went to tactical to gear up.
Felicity and the other agents arrived in a van outside of their targets house, Provisional, you are glued to my hip unless I tell you otherwise, do you understand?' He nodded. 'Richardson, you flank left, Lewis you flank right, Doggart, you flank the back of the house. Provisional and I will take front. They surrounding the houseand moved in quietly, Felicity moved up the front and onto the stairs towards the daughter's room and slowly entered it, confirming there was no one in it.
'Daughters room secured. Moving to Adamson's office.' Felicity said into her comm.
'Copy, you are clear to move.' Torez replied. Felicity moved silently down the hall, her sub-machine gun pointed in front of her, the light illuminating the hallway. There was a glow of a light coming from the office.
'Richardson, have you cleared the bedroom?' Felicity asked and only silence was heard back. 'Richardson..do you copy? Richardson? Sniper A do you have a clear line of sight on Richardson?'
'Negative.'
'Sniper B?'
'Negative, I can't see Richardson, or Doggart.' He replied.
'Lewis, do you have sight on Richardson or Doggart?'
'Negative.' She cursed under her breath and turned around to the provisional recruit.
'I need you to stay here and guard this room, stay in this position, and away from the door, radio me if Adamson leaves the room and stick to the shadows. Otherwise stay by the window so Torez always has his sights on you.' She said and she replied. 'Torez, keep and eye on Provisional, she will stay with Adamson outside his room.'
'Copy'
'Lewis, finish the search of your section then get your ass up to the top floor to provisional.'
'Copy that.' Felicity turned and headed back down the stairs towards the back of the house to look for Doggart, she made her way to the back, the slider was open and there was blood drops leading in.
'I found blood by the back, be cautious, there could someone esle here, use deadly force at any sighting. Lewis, for get the clearing go your ass up to provisional. Sniper A, do you have her in your sights?'
'Copy, she is safe.' Torez replied.
'I'm on my way' Lewis followed the blood trail to find Doggart face down with his neck snapped, she leaned down to check his pulse just in case...nothing.
'Doggarts down.' Felicity said. She said and shot up at sound of footsteps behind her. She moved around to the opposite side of the room and went around to the persons behind. She crept up behind them. They were dressed in all black. She got behind him and snapped his neck.
'There are other people in the house with us. Lewis are you with Provisional?'
'Yes, just arrived.'
'Good get her out of the house, now!' She said.
'Copy that.'
'Sniper A when they are clear take the shot at your discretion.'
'copy that.'
Twenty minutes later they were all in the van heading back to archive when Torez spoke up.
'What they hell happened in there?'
'I don't know' Felicity said. 'But Jedidiah isn't going to like it.' She stared out the back window at the cabin the the woods, preparing for the verbal abuse that was about to come.
The sound of floorboards creaking drew her out of the memory, she shot off the bed and took the gun from her bag and cocked it, and crept out of the bedroom. She proceeded down the stairs to find Lilly standing in the middle of the room.
'I could have killed you.' Felicity said walking down the stairs.
'Well I am not dead..so.' Lilly replied.
'What happened to you not being able to be out for long?' Felicity said. She stood at the base of the stairs with her arms folded across her chest.
'I told my boss I was following up a lead.' Lilly said and Felicity nodded.
'How did you know to look here.'
'I didn't I tried the beach house, the lighthouse, I was heading to the old house we used until I remembered this mission. I figured it would secluded enough for you.'
'It'll do..what are you doing here?' Felicity asked and Lilly holding up a bag of Chinese takeout.
'Figured you'd be hungry.' Lilly saod and Felicity motioned her to the living room area while she got some plates and silverware.
An hour later the put their plates down and were enjoy some wine Lilly had brought.
'So.' Lilly said as Felicity sipped her drink
'Oliver Queen...how did that happen?'
'I was working IT at QC when he returned from Lian Yu, he needed some help and it just went from there. About a year later I disappeared, cause Archive found me, I had to attend a gala to get to one of my targets, Oliver found me. Long story short, we are here now.'
'Here as in?'
'Here as in he is in Starling City and I am in the middle of the woods, eat chinese with my old mentor.'
'Gotcha..does he know about Lian Yu?'
'Yes he knows I was there...I told him that I left two weeks before he was stranded there..that his father sent me a message and I left.'
'Oh. How much have you told him.'
'Some...not really the darker sides of things..he has seen the darker parts of me though.'
'He still stayed..that shows something..'
Yeah..it does. He isn't a saint in this either, there have been a few times that my darker parts have...gotten the better of him per say. It's kinda one of the parts that we fought about..both today and other days.'
'Can I give you advice..the fights are what keep it alive. If you didn't fight even now and then, then it would all just build up and burst.' She looked down at her watch and stood. 'I should go.' Felicity nodded. Lilly was at the door when she turned around to Felicity. 'Felicity..I know you have a hard decision in front of you, I would never want to have to make it. But when I look at you I see your mother in you, her beauty, I see you father in you from your strength, I see your brother in you too. Your can see your father's legacy every time you look in the mirror.' She said and walked out. Felicity wiped the tears that fell down her cheeks and went upstairs to the bedroom and took a deep breath and turned her phone on.
There were more missed calls from Diggle, Thea and Moira, Oliver even from Sara. She sighed and laid down in the bed to get some shut eye.
She awoke to the sun streaming in her face, effectively bring her out of her slumber. She sat up rubbed her eyes. She grabbed her phone to find a text from Lilly.
'Talk to him. Tell him the reason behind your hesitation.' She sighed as she read it. She was going to have to talk to him sooner or later. She had to make her decision.
After she got dressed, she packed up her bag and left the cabin, re-locking it behind her. She took her car and headed back towards Starling City.
Felicity stood in Jedidiah's office. He had his back turned to her. She had just finished telling him what had happened on the mission. She could see the tension rolling off of him.
'Who?'
'I do not know.'
'Your duty was to get out quietly, no noise.'
'My mission, was to take out the target and get everyone safely out of there. After I found Doggart dead, and with Richardson not responded I changed my priorities. I had the snipers take Adamson out so I could get what was left of my team out alive. Who knows how many other men where in there.' She replied and he nodded.
'Understood.' he said and stepped around his desk approaching her. 'One more thing.' He said 'There is a new mission, I need you to go on.'
'Now?'
'Yes.' He said and handed her a file. 'I need you to eliminate this person.' Felicity opened the file and gasped.
'Lewis..I don't...I don't understand.'
'We put Lewis on your team for two reasons. To test your skills and to see if he really was a traitor as we have suspected him to be.'
'He must have killed Richardson and Doggart.' Jedidiah nodded.
'Follow him to his apartment. Finish the deed. Call us when it is done.'
'Okay.' She said and walked out of his office. She was in tactical putting items away when Lewis told her he was heading home, she nodded. After his keycard confirmed he left Archive, she followed, and tailed him to his apartment. She parked five blocks away and grabbed a handgun and a knife and walked to his apartment. She circled around the back and jumped up to the fire escape and climbed up it to the window. She peered in to find him sitting on the couch, reading debrief reports, his back was facing her. She took out her knife and slid it under the window, unlocking the latch and silently pushed up the window, climbing through. She shut the window quietly and stood behind the couch.
'Lewis.' She said and he jumped in the air, turning to see her.
'What the hell Felicity? What are you doing here?' He yelled.
'I am here because Jedidiah sent me.'
'Why?"
'To kill you..' She said and he started to back up. 'But I am not going to. He told me you are a traitor. I wanted to ask you to join me.'
'Join you to do what?'
'Take down Archive.' She replied.
'Oh sweetie..' Lewis said and moved towards her, punching her and kneeing her in the chest, she fell to the ground coughing and he pulled a recording device out of his pocket. 'If I go down, you go down!' He yelled and pulled her up and slammed her down on the glass coffee table, it shattering beneath her. He moved towards her and she took the knife out and stabbed it into his foot and he let out a grunt of pain. She moved to get up and he pulled a gun out from behind him and shot her in the shoulder. She fell on the floor and pulled her gun out, she turned towards him as he moved towards her again and fired her gun three times, hit him in the chest and he fell. She grabbed her phone and called up Jedidiah.
'It's done, but i'm shot..I need a extract.'
'Copy, dispatching one now.' He said and hung up. She moved towards Lewis and grabbed the recording device, ejective the tape, she threw the device away and put the tape under her toes in her shoe. She fell back against the floor as she waited for the extract team to arrive.
Felicity arrived back in Starling around the evening, she new Oliver would most likely be at the foundry so she headed there.
She saw his car there and new he was there, she parked hers and headed towards the back entrance. She took a deep breath in and punched in the code, opening the door and went down the stairs quietly. She heard the grunts of fighting from Oliver and Roy. They were sparring on the mats, Digg was off to the side watching them. She stood at the bottom of the stairs and watched as Oliver and Roy threw punches and kicks at each other, on Roy's last punch his hips were aligned and Oliver knocked him down.
'What did I tell you about keep your hips aligned.' Felicity said and Digg, Roy and Oliver looked at her. She looked at Oliver 'We need to talk.' Oliver nodded.
'Let's give them some pace Roy.' Digg said and they left up the stairs, leaving the foundry. Oliver turned to grab a shirt and slipped it on, followed by a water bottle. Felicity slowly moved to her computers and sat on her desk, facing Oliver. Oliver opened his mouth to speak when Felicity help up her hand and he stopped.
'First thing Oliver.' She said in a serious tone. 'Don't you ever..ever question about whether or not I love you.' He nodded.
'I'm sorry.' He said.
'Me too. You were right however, I was holding something back. I was also right when I said you barely scratched the surface. Oliver I know that it is tough on you, I went from this blonde babbling IT girl, and turned into this..this...killer. I get that it is hard, but you do not get to judge me on the decisions I make.' She said and he nodded again. 'I know you want me to let you in..but how much do we know about the five years you were away? Not a lot. You have had to build up five years of secrets..I have had to build up almost 13 years of secrets. And I am in no way judging, or comparing or saying I had it harder..I am just saying that..it's hard for me to trust and to tell you what happened. And yes there will be times when I do not tell you things, there will be things I do not tell you about my past, just like there are bound to be things you will not tell me, and we will both have to accept that. If you have a problem with that then tell me n-' She was cut off when Oliver walked up and kissed her passionately.
'I am sorry.' Oliver said. 'I did..I couldn't see where you were coming from. But my mother told me to remember what it felt like when Isabel tried to take QC away.'
'I'm sorry too, I didn't tell you the whole truth, either.' She said and motion for them to sit on the couch. 'Archive, I learned was behind my family's death. I learned that my father was one of the creators of Archive. Archive was his legacy..one of them. And I destroyed it. And it just difficult when they told me I had to choose. When they told me...I didn't think about choosing between become your wife or become a Hale...if felt like I was choosing between the man I loved a the memory and legacy that my father built, I already destroyed one legacy, I didn't want to let another one slip through my fingers.'
'Felicity I-'
'But..someone reminded me that I am my father's legacy as well. Just being alive. That even though I will not have my father's company..or his name, but I have him, I am him, I am my mother and I am my brother. His legacy, is me and now this is mine.' She said.
'Felicity, we will get you your company, we will find a way around it , I promise.'
'No.'
'No?'
'My father created a assassin group that forces people to kill after they brainwash you..he wasn't the greatest man. After some thought..I don't think I want the company, because knowing what he did to create Archive, god knows what he did to create the company.' She said. 'I am happy with you. All I want is you.' She said and kissed him.
'I love you.'
'I love you too Oliver.'
So, they are back together and ready to move on! woot woot. So we now have seen how Felicity operated on a mission..keep her tactics in mind, because they may surface in the next chapter or two because I will having her be out more as a vigilante with Oliver and Roy...
Review is love!
