But anyway ENJOY!

There was a slight knocking on Felicitys door, she groaned in her sleep turning over. It happened again and without much thought she shouted

"Oh just come in" she didn't move she was hugging a pillow. Her head buried in the other with the duvet wrapped around her. She heard the door open then close gently. So she decided to open her eyes, when she did she was met by bright blue ones. Oliver. He was stood looking down at her sympathetically, she shot up

"What time is it?"

"It's 9am, I just... You didn't come back" Felicity frowned in confusion

"Didn't Thea tell you I was busy?"

"Yes but I don't like leaving things angry between us... anymore" She titled her head and could see the concern on his features

"Angry?" She asked slightly confused "oh, OH! Oh I didn't not come back because I was angry" her hand reached out for his wrist squeezing it lightly "I mean you were a jackass, you could have handled it better and definitely owe Dig an apology but I'm not angry at you" she gave him a smile but it didn't seem to lift his mood. She gazed at him "how come you aren't wearing the leg brace?"

"Because it doesn't hurt as much and I can walk-"

"Oh no you don't mister! You are still taking it easy today, plus I have paper work for you to go through"

"Paper work?" he sighed

"Yes that and some things that need your approval"

"But..."

"You've got to face things eventually hence why I'm going to go through it with you, so go get ready and I'll bring breakfast then after we can go through all this" she pointed in the vague direction of papers and her tablet

"No Raisa said she'd bring us both breakfast up to my room. And thank you Felicity. Take as long as you want" he said stepping away and heading for the door

"I'll be 30mins tops" he smiled

"Honestly no rush, I didn't mean to wake you"

"It's okay, and I will be 30 minutes" she repeated

"Okay, and Felicity..."

"Yes Oliver?"

"Thank you for being here, for helping... Not just me" he smiled sincerely

"It's what friends are for" she returned the smile "and I promised Oliver, I would be here no matter what"

30 minutes later Felicity was entering Olivers room, completely dressed, hair pulled back, tablet and paperwork in hand. Oliver had gone for a jeans and shirt combo, and Felicity smiled at him. He was sat in the bay window again, watching the world outside

"If you get all this paper work done, I might take you out later" she teased smirking

"Take me out?" He asked inquisitively

"Not out out, but maybe to the Foundry, get some food on the way back? And then tomorrow, well that's when Oliver Queen will make a proper appearance" he frowned at the last bit

"Okay, fine. Just let's eat breakfast first before business" she nodded with a little chuckle at his distain. They sat eating admiring the view outside, they didn't talk there was no need to. They ate until they were full, and then they made their way to Olivers desk, where there now sat 2 chairs rather than one. Clearly Oliver had asked someone to bring another

"So, what's going on?" He asked

"Firstly, as your EA I have had a little control over your money"

"Okay..." He said hesitantly

"Verdant got damaged during the rampage"

"Oh"

"So I allocated some funds to Tommy for repairs. He has kept a tight leash on it and I have all receipts, etc"

"Oh, you do realise that doesn't bother me, he could have had all he liked to fix it up" Felicity smiled

"We wanted to do it properly but also I wanted to make a suggestion, you have every right to say no and I haven't mentioned it to anyone-"

"Felicity" He stopped her ramble

"Sorry. I think you should make Tommy co-owner then he will have more responsibility and it'll free some of your time up. Then he'll have access to club accounts, and won't need your approval for everything. It is only a sug-"

"Yes" He smiled

"Yes?" she questioned

"Do it. He deserves it; get the paperwork drawn up..." Felicity smiled a sparkle in her eyes as she pulled out a contract "you already did it didn't you?"

"Just in case" she smirked and he chuckled in response

"Thank you"

"You're welcome. You just need to read it all and sign it" She placed it to one side

"Right so that's Verdant?" She nodded

"I've updated all of Thea's emergency contact stuff at school and hospital etc, I hope that's okay"

"Of course it is, it saves us a job"

"Theas trust fund is locked until she turns 18, so it'll keep gaining interest but she won't be able to touch it till then" he nodded "All the bills for the house, I have had put in your name but I've created a different account one which will automatically take money from your QC profits. Also I've set up for bills automatically and the wages for the staff etc" she really had thought of everything, and all he had done was lie here for days "you just need to read and sign this pile of papers to clarify all these changes" she placed them with the others and Oliver nodded again. A little stunned at how much Felicity had actually done

"Okay..."

"If it's too much-" she gave him a sympathetic smile

"No, no I just..."he placed a hand on top of hers on the desk "thank you" he whispered but with so much sincerity it caught Felicity off guard. She looked into his eyes, they were bright and vast, even though he had whispered it she could feel the emotions behind it

"It's okay" she said softly back

"You have done so much" he returned squeezing her hand. She beamed

"Oliver seriously as I've said before if it makes your life easier, I'm more than willing to help" they sat staring at each other till Felicity pulled her hand out and continued with her paper work

"Finally Oliver..." He looked up from the vast amount of paper work "QC"

"It's my fathers legacy, my families. I want it continue to be a part of my family but..."

"You don't feel ready to be CEO?" She finished, he nodded slowly "that's why I thought about making Walter CEO and you still own QC with the board, you help make decisions and you are the face of the company... But you also train there, under Walter like your father planned originally" She smiled at him again "I mean it's you and Thea who own QC, with majority shares, but she doesn't have a say till she's 18, that's if she wants a say"

"I think that's a great idea" he smiled, cutting her off "Walter has made the company go from strength to strength, he's been in charge since my dads..." Oliver stopped looking down so Felicity jumped in

"Yes and he's done extraordinarily well"

"So are those contracts in there too?" He teased as she pulled some out

"I told you very organised" she teased "so now you're Oliver Queen, club co-owner, QC training CEO, and hero..."

"I'm not a hero Felicity"

"Tell that to the city" she said turning her tablet to face him, he flicked through the pages. There were all articles about the Arrow, as a hero, about what he did. There were online blogs, messages, pictures thanking whoever he was

"They want to build my statue in the park?" He frowned

"Someone may have pointed out that was a waste of valuable money, the Arrow wouldn't approve of using for something like that" he chuckled knowing full well it was her "they decided to use the money to build a youth centre, that's going to have a plaque though in your honour"

"Really?" He shook his head in disbelief

"Yes because like I say Oliver you are a hero" he kept looking at the stories of families he'd saved, the faces of children, grownups, everything. He felt lighter, as if surrounded by lightness rather than darkness. He stared at the blonde in front of him who was smiling back. She could see the look of hope, joy, and his soul in his eyes. She had to agree; whoever said the windows to the soul were the eyes was correct, because she could see Olivers in all its heroic glory. They spent the next few hours filling out paper work and making phone calls so that everything was official and set up.

It was mid afternoon when there was a knock at the door

"Miss Smoak, Mr Queen I'm here to take you out" Diggle said not looking in Olivers direction but still smiling

"Thanks John, we'll be down to the car in a minute" Felicity answered. He nodded exiting the room "come on then Mr Queen we best go see the Foundry" she grinned coyly

"What are you up to?" He asked slowly

"Wait and see" she winked, picking up all the paperwork and tablet heading out the room "meet you downstairs in 5" They all met at the car Oliver looked at Diggle trying to find the words but no matter how he played it he just kept seeing his child grow up without a father.

They drove to Verdant in relative silence. They went to the side entrance; Oliver punched in the code and headed into the darkness. Felicity flicked on the lights, Oliver froze in place

"You both did all this..."

"Well yes, Diggle did most of the heavy lifting" the Foundry had been transformed. The place had proper floors; it had an actual medical area with working equipment. The training area had new equipment too, and the salmon ladder was still in place. The computers all looked advanced, and several other pieces of equipment were dotted around. There was even a station for arrow making and his suit was hung up in a glass case

"Thank you" he said to both. Felicity walked over to the table, where a case was placed on top. She opened it and inside lay a sleek compound bow

"I hope you like it, I had it custom made. How'd I do?" he picked it up feeling the weight in his hand

"It's perfect" he said so softly, without thought he placed it down and pulled her into a hug. So close he had his face buried in her hair, the sweet scent filling him. People were fighting for him. Still. After all he'd done. He slowly let her go and turned to John

"Thank you..."

"But… I know it's coming man" Diggle said crossing his arms

"I just... I don't want your child growing up without you because of what we do..."

"That's the thing Oliver; I chose to be a part of this. I still am. Not just because of you but because of what we do. I believe in it. And yes it's risky, so is Lylas job but we have spoken about it and it's something we understand. Like I understand what you are saying too" he uncrossed his arms "but I've made my choice Oliver. This is it and it won't change" Oliver nodded, smiling a little "oh and please don't blame yourself, it's all on me" Diggle walked over and patted him on the shoulder "but thanks for caring dude"

"I care about all of you" he smiled "always have. Always will because you're my family now"

"And you're part of mine, Uncle Oliver" he joked and Oliver laughed slightly. Felicity watched two of the men in her life grinning. She was happy they were happy. But a part of her gut twisted as she thought of not being part of the team again. Yes Oliver was no longer pushing her away, but she was about to set up home with Daniel. Move away, and carry on with her life. Part of her was happy to finally meet a guy who wanted her as much as she did him, who took care of her, who made her happy, but then there was this part, the one right in front of her. The one where she finally felt like she'd found home. She stopped the tears from falling instead she went and hugged both men. They stood in the Foundry that way for awhile, till they heard movement upstairs

"That's our cue to go give Tommy the good news" Felicity winked

"Can I do it?"

"Of course it is your business" she beamed handing him the paperwork.

When they got upstairs Tommy was there, trying to move boxes one handed. The club had been revamped the red was now a shining green, a bow and arrow had been drawn on a wall. Tommy span around smiling as he heard the footsteps behind him

"It's to thank the Arrow for saving mine and Laurels lives, well that's what we told the press" he winked "it's nice to see you out"

"It's nice to be out"

"So come to see if the clubs still in one piece" he teased

"Tommy, I have something to ask you" he frowned a little at his serious tone. Oliver walked over to him at the bar and slid the contract towards him. Tommy looked at it then at him still confused

"Are you firing me?" He tried to say light heartedly

"Oh god no, I'm promoting you"

"How can you be promoted past manager?" He teased

"By becoming my co-owner" His jaw just about hit the floor

"What? But I have no money..." He put his hand on his shoulder

"It isn't about that, you have proven yourself so much with the club. And you know about the other lives I lead. So I can't always be here, but you can and you deserve to reap the rewards for it. So please take the contract, get your lawyer to look over it and do this for yourself" Oliver smiled, Tommy pulled him into a hug

"Thanks man, seriously, I don't know what to say"

"You don't need to say anything" he grinned. Oliver couldn't help how happy he felt. He was doing the right thing, surround by the people he loved. The ones who continuously fought for him, he couldn't believe he'd been so lucky.

They left verdant and headed to QC, they had a casual meeting with Walter and the board. Who after being reminded that Oliver was technically still recovering and didn't have to be there, seemed to relax about his casual attire. The proposals went down without a hitch. Walter was emotional at being given a chance at the CEO position permanently, promising to help Oliver achieve his rightful place one day. The board, after all the Isabel fiasco, agreed almost instantly on the condition that Oliver made the announcement to the press tomorrow fully suited.

It was all done and dusted in a few hours, thus as promised Diggle drove them to a takeout place so they could get food, and headed home. They spent the evening in a relaxed ease all 3 of them, team arrow, together.
