GUEST reviewer wish you signed in I could message you back, thank you for your kind words and compliments they have made me so warm and fuzzy inside on this wet n windy night. Yes get season 2 arrow and watch I found a Felicity/Oliver scene you tube thing and I forgot half of what those two got up to from arguments to puppy eyes.

I hope this chapter is all good for you lovely people.

I still do not own Thunderbirds or Arrow (see what I did there I put them in a different order first time out of 28)

CHAPTER 29

Brains relaxed back into the red chair, he had been at the helm of Command and Control for hours now and finally the chaos had calmed down. Or so he had thought.

An erratic beeping emitted from the computers in front of him, sighing he sat back up straight and opened up the alert. "O-odd." He mused aloud.

"Command and Control to field agent Felicity Smoak, come in." He tried to contact the cause of the alert.

A whole minute passed before Brains tried once more. "Brains to Felicity come in." Still no reply, all agents are told in the contracts not to remove their communicators unless they inform base first. Felicity hadn't so far ever removed hers.

"Command and Control to Thunderbird 1 and Jeff.

"Thunderbird 1 here go ahead Brains." Scott replied first his image appearing on the screen.

"Yes Brains." Jeff followed closely behind but there was no image

"W-w-w there may be a problem with an a-a-agent." Brains began to explain. "Emergency tracking b-b-beacon has activated for Felicity. There have been no vital signs detected and the device r-r-recorded an i-i-impact."

The line was silent for a heartbeat. "Brains send me the co-ordinates now." Scott ordered his face marred with concern.

"Y-y-yes Thunderbird o-o-one." Brains began typing away.

"Scott be careful I have a bad feeling so take backup, find out who's free." Jeff replied.

"FAB Father." He cut the communications having received the location of Felicity's tracking beacon.

Before he started to move he opened a line to John. "Thunderbird 1 to John where are you?"

"I'm in the Glades what's up?" John replied.

Not wanting to worry him immediately he chose his answer carefully. "I have a job and need a second man up for it?"

"Hold on." John replied, he checked with Alan that he was fine to handle what he was doing. "Yeah what's the job?"

"I'll tell you when you're on board get ready for a grapple line." Scott replied throwing Thunderbird 1 into forward flight.

He found John easily in seconds, maneuvering Thunderbird 1 above he opened his bay doors and released the grapple line.

John watched as the sleek craft neared, he had heard it love before seeing it and stood ready and waiting. As she banked into a turn and hover position her doors opened and a line shot out hitting the tarmac at his feet. "Nice shot." He explained into the comm.. He picked up the end and attached it to his harness. "All secured ready for a lift." He informed Scott.

When he made it inside and the doors closed he unclipped and moved into the cockpit taking the co-pilot seat. "So you going to tell me what's going on?" He asked as he buckled himself in. Thunderbird 1 was already flying again.

There was a huge sigh from Scott and John turned as best as he could to watch his brother. "What's wrong Scott?"

"Felicity's communicator has sent out its emergency locator beacon." Scott reluctantly replied.

John felt his heart stop beating and his breath catch, the only time the beacon activated was if the device didn't register life signs. That couldn't be true. "There's got to be a mistake." He defiantly said gripping his harness and staring hard out of the window watching the City streak past.

"I hope so John, we're going to the location now. I thought you should be there what ever the outcome." Scott replied almost whispering the end, he didn't what to think that they had lost Felicity after only having her for such a short while. Her last words to him echoed in his head 'I'm going to come home for a while.' He hoped she had meant Tracy Island.

Scott circled the oil refinery on one of the rooftops he saw the Arrow fighting another man, they were evenly matched but he noticed a limp in the Arrow's steps. He wasn't going to interfere the Arrow hadn't wanted him earlier so he would stay well clear.

The car park was devoid of cars so he brought 1 down. John was out of the seat faster than Scott and he was used to the restraint systems. "Wait John don't go charging in you don't know what's in there."

"Felicity is in there that's all that matters." John replied racing down the steps with Scott closely following, there was no stopping him so he would just cover his back.

"Brain's we need some direction." Scott called over his comm. the inside of the refinery was a maze.

"K-k-keep moving in your c-c-current direction. Brains replied. He had activated Scott's own tracker to get an accurate reading. "N-n-now left."

"I got something thanks Brains." Scott said as they changed direction. He cut the line and started to sprint to keep up with John.

Up ahead were two figures. One was stood while the other was crouched. John felt his heard constrict. As he neared he recognized both the figures.

"Laurel?" John questioned slowing down his pace as he neared. The burnet turned her attention away from the floor and looked to the voice that called her name.

"John?"

The woman crouching stood. "John." She greeted.

John nodded his head the tone she used confirmed what he had thought earlier she had made the connection and knew he was going to be in trouble. "Canary."

"Who's this?" Laurel asked looking up and down the brunette stood next to John. "Scott. Have you seen Felicity?" John asked desperation creeped into his voice.

Both women's faces dropped. "We tried to protect her but those eyes, he made us give her up. Then he controlled her to follow him and she removed her phone, watch and locket." Canary answered.

Scott and John looked at each other their faces draining of any colour.

"What's wrong?" Laurel asked.

"The man who's got her which way did he go?" Scott asked fiercely directing his attention back to the two women.

Laurel took and step back the change in the other man was a little frightening, he had an air of commanding about him that caused her to shy back.

"He left down that way." Canary pointed over her shoulder. "I already looked it led outside there is no sign of them."

John felt his shoulders sag in sorrow, the Hood had gone after her because of him.

Someone moved and in the same moment John felt a hand on each shoulder. "We will get het back John." He said calmly.

"We will help you." Canary offered she held out her hand in front of John it had the locket, watch and cell phone. John reached out and took the locket.

He opened it and was met with a picture of himself looking happier than he felt right at that moment. He slid his glove off and pressed his thumb to the screen.

Scott watched his brother and his heart cried out in sympathy for him. Then his comm. burst into action. "Command and Control to Thunderbird 1 the b-b-beacon has gone silent, d-d-did you find it?"

"Brains we have it, John has deactivated it. Felicity is missing." Scott replayed back.

"Understood I w-w-will tell Jeff."

"FAB"

Laurel took a hesitant step forward, she felt like an outside, her sister behaved as though she knew John. The thought that her sister knew a Thunderbird was absurd and she scoffed at herself. Three sets of eyes landed on her.

"Sorry I just had a crazy thought." She brushed it off.

"Let's get out of here and work out what our next move is going to be." Canary suggested.

John closed the locket and slid it over his head, tucking it down past the collar of his dirty uniform.

PAUSE

Outside they waited along side Thunderbird 1. Scott had asked what had happened on the lead up to the Hood showing up. Canary had explained the plan Arrow had devised to trick Slade and what Felicity had done to help stop him.

John listened but didn't join in even when Scott had gone mad about using Felicity as bait. "What does it matter to you?" Laurel had asked. "She's the reason the Arrow can win."

Scott had seen red at this and protocols be chewed. "She's family." He ground out. The comment had made John feel warmer for a brief second that he wasn't the only one to consider her family but then the coldness descended when reality returned reminding him she was gone taken by the Hood.

After minutes of when felt like endless silence a figure rounded the corner of the building and hobbled over.

When the Arrow was close enough to talk he announced that Slade was down. Scott moved past his brother and into the path of the Arrow, everything about him bugged Scott including knowing his real identity and the way he was with Felicity tipped him over the edge.

He felt his arm coil backwards and with every ounce of anger, annoyance and worry for Felicity he had he threw his arm towards the Arrow and clocking him across his face.

The Arrow went down on to his backside. Canary dropped to his side along with Laurel while Scott shook out his hand and moved back to his brother's side. "That's for earlier and Felicity."

Arrow stayed on the ground uncharacteristically he stared up into the face of the man that just gave him one hell of a right hook. It looked familiar, his eyes moved to the face next to his, it was dirty and the look of complete despair made Arrow worried. The blonde style of hair on his head sparked his memory into who it was but he couldn't believe it, that wasn't possible.

"What the hell?" He shouted. "What about Felicity?" He picked himself back up never taking his eyes from the brunette just in case he tried it again.

"Where do I start, or shall I cut to the worse part. Using her as bait? What the hell were you thinking?"

"It worked Slade is down, his army are all cured. Its over." Arrow replied. He glanced at the blonde he kept his eyes on the floor.

"Felicity was taken." Canary said from behind the Arrow.

He spun and winced as he caught his knee. "What!? By who?"

"The Hood." Scott answered.

"Who's he?" Arrow asked turning back to face the two men

"A long standing problem for International Rescue, he keep trying to take our craft and destroy us. He must have found out Felicity's connection to us and now wants to use her." Scott answered.

"Back up. What is Felicity's connection to you?" Arrow asked. Scott saw Sara roll her eyes.

"Felicity's dating John." She said pointing to the blonde. At the mention of his name he lifted his eyes and met the Arrow's hidden under the hood and behind the mask.

"Recognize me yet Oliver?" John said.

Oliver stumbled backwards a second in shock. He knew it, he had told Felicity about secrets. Feeling angry that they were now responsible for Felicity being in danger he sprung into action and went for John.

Scott watched the Arrow pounce and he pushed John out of the way. Canary move a second slower than Arrow but she managed to knock his good leg from under him and he went down like a sack of potatoes. Scott dropped down onto the Arrow pinning him and Canary joined him a moment later.

"GET OFF ME!" Arrow roared.

"Not likely." Scott replied with a smile, he was pinning the almighty Arrow.

There was a growl and a curse. "You take a swing at me for using Felicity as bait and yet it's your enemy that's taken her, at least I kept her safe. I warned her about you and now look."

John listened to the Arrows words and he felt a huge stab of guilt. It was his fault, if he hadn't brought her into their world the Hood wouldn't have targeted her. Then he felt angry, if the Arrow hadn't used Felicity to trick Slade she would have been else where and away from the Hood. "How dare you!" John shouted. "If it hadn't been for me and my family Felicity would have stayed trapped in your hide out during the Undertaking, where were you for her then? She was shot defending Canary because she felt she had something to prove to you, and it was me that kept an eye on her and helped her rebuild your computer system. When you shouted at her about the bombings she had been struggling but you didn't care about that it was Scott that looked out for her. Who helped keep your company from Isobel, my father but it was me that brought it to his attention and it will hopefully mean you can keep it. Guess who helped her find you when you ran off, an associate of the Organization. And as for warning her about me, I have been a law abiding citizen all of my life and my job is helping those in need when no one else can, not a killer like you." John felt a tear slide down his cheek. He felt spent now venting the anger that had build in the back of him mind every time something had happened to Felicity because of Arrow.

He watched as the Arrow relaxed. "Alright." He Arrow said.

Scott wanted to clarify what he was saying. "What was that?"

"Alright you win let me go so we can talk properly."

Scott moved off the Arrow and Canary move back onto her haunches. John glanced at Laurel and she looked confused.

The Arrow pushed himself up and stood opposite John. He brushed his hood back and pulled his mask down off his face. He saw something in John then, the pain in his eyes, and realized that he had been a right jerk.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have judged you or your family. I don't trust easily and I am self centered Felicity usually keeps me in line with that. I was a killer, I never hesitated but Felicity she made me feel again and see things in a new light that there was a different way to helping the City than killing those that were hurting it. She means the world to me, I thought I could do this alone but I realized I could and relied on her, I selfishly didn't want to lose her." Oliver admitted.

"Can you help us find her?" John asked.

"I have a backup in place for these situations. We need to get to the foundry for the computers." Oliver said.

"That will take to long and you look like you need some medical attention. I'll call Thunderbird 2 for a ride. John can you access their computers from ours?" Scott took charge.

"I'm…" Oliver went to argue.

"Don't finish that with 'fine' clearly hobbling does not fit into that category and if you want to help Felicity you need to be on top form." Scott interjected looking pointedly at Oliver.

Oliver relented, "Fine."

"Thunderbird 2 from Scott."

Everyone stood around waiting, it was quiet while Scott waited for a response. "Thunderbird 2 we need a ride ASAP are you able to assist?" a few more moments of silence. "We are at the oil refinery. There is landing room next to Thunderbird 1." Another pause. "FAB Virgil."

"ETA two minutes." Scott announced to the group.

"Laurel let's get you back, can I join you later?" Canary said worried about keeping her sister safe.

"No I'm staying." Laurel argued. Canary went to object but Laurel cut her off. "If Felicity hadn't been that brave in there I would be dead right now I'm not leaving until we find her."

"I don't want you in danger." Canary pleaded.

"She can stay on Thunderbird 2 until we know where we are going." Scott offered. Smiling at Laurel.

"Thanks." Laurel cheered up at the offer.

Engine noises started to sound in the distance. "Step back under here she will shield most of the down thrust." Scott instructed.

Oliver moved first followed by Laurel and then Canary. John went next and Scott hovered on the edge looking out for the giant green craft.

"Did you know who I was when I came around to check on Felicity?" Canary asked John.

John looked outwards watching for his middle brothers Thunderbird to land. "Yes I knew who you were when you arrived. After I guessed who was under the hood Felicity stopped keeping secrets. It's not like I can't keep one have had my own for many years now."

"Why didn't you let me in?" Canary asked.

"You wouldn't have thought it strange that a man you didn't know and that didn't know you let you into his girlfriends house?" John replied. "Besides the only way to keep a secret is to pretend you don't know it."

"When did you know about me?" Oliver asked almost shouting as the engine noise had grown louder.

John didn't answer he waited as the engine noise changed tone and the wind started to blow raising the dust from the floor. Within seconds a huge green plane had landed in front of them. When the engines died John replied. "When Felicity came to my home a couple of months after we rescued her, it wasn't hard to work it out from all of the stories. I asked and Felicity tried to deny it but she is a terrible liar."

"She kept your secret well, you're a lucky guy to have her and she deserves a hero like you. We will get her back." Oliver tried to brighten things but John wasn't in the mood, he just nodded and moved out from under Thunderbird 1 heading towards Thunderbird 2. Scott fell in step with him and the others followed.

AN – so I really hope Scott and John were in good character form through this as well as Oliver. Its been something that I wanted to get in there since Oliver came back to Starling City. Please, PLEASE be kind and drop me a review because I will love you even more. And that's me out for today
