After a long time without posting on our favorite couple, I start again with a new story. I warn that I am French and that I did my best to translate the first chapter, so I hope you can understand my writing. Good reading.

Felicity was in her apartment, a laptop computer open next to her on her couch. For a few hours, she had prepared the best presentation to show Oliver so that he could use it during his meeting with the board of directors, wich would take place in a few weeks.

Now, she was watching one of her favorite series, but she was not really focused on the episode of the moment, she could no longer bear thes evenings alone at home too repetitive for her taste, Oliver seemed to no longer want her so often in the foundry now.

Since Slade had been locked up in the Argus prison on Lian Yu, Oliver had put him aside, it was the feeling she had been feeling for a while, like what had happened in the mansion to catch his former island mentor, had changed their partnership. She wanted to talk to him about it several times, but she suspected that as for his three words spoken that night, he would not answer her. Felicity was seriously starting to lose her mind doing nothing, not knowing why he didn't want her anymore, for his mission. Besides apart from all these questions that she often asked herself, she could not stand the work in the computer store, she was in a hurry for Oliver to recover Queen Consolidated.

Felicity thought back to their moment in the manor, she had hoped so much that after having finally closed a page of her past on the island, the archer would let herself go a little more, but on the beach Oliver had not confirmed his words spoken in the manor. Of course he hadn't fired him from the team, they were still friends and partners, at least she thought so, but he was still more distant than before. She would have liked this moment at the manor him to open the eyes on how they could be together, professionally and personally, but Oliver didn't seem to want to give them a chance.

She was taken out of her memories and thoughts when her cell phone rang, looking at the caller ID, she smiled...Maybe he couldn't do without her complety, at least her acquaintances, thought she by picking up.

- Hi Oliver, do you need me ?, She asked.

- Felicity ! Is not Oliver but Roy, replied his friend on the other end.

- Hi Roy ! Why are you calling with Oliver cellphone...Why is he not calling me himself ?, Questions starting to flock in his mind.

Arsenal took several breaths, he knew that what he was going to announce to his friend was going to upset her enormously, especially knowing what Oliver represented for her, as for all of them.

- Felicity i'm in the hospital with Oliver, he says.

- At hospital ? What are doing there ? Roy ! Tell me where is Oliver ? Is he injured ? Diggle is he injured ?, she asked.

- Oliver had an accident but I can't tell you more at the moment, he said to Felicity.

- Why can't tou tell me more ? Roy ! Tell me what going on ? Is it so bad that he can't speak to me himself ? Don't leave me in the doubt, she asked already starting to panic.

She got up, put on her shoes quickly, and grabbed her car keys, as she left her apartment, Roy explaining that Diggle must already be outside her house to take her to the hospital wher Oliver was.

- John will explain everything to you in the car, he will tell you what happened tonight. He also has some things to teach you that we were not aware of.

Felicity gulped, a dozen thoughts crossed his mind as she began to go down the stairs.

- Roy, tell me he's alive please, she said his body shaking now.

- Yes Felicity ! He's always with us, he replied.

Roy looked at the body of their friend on the bed, what had happened this evening was the most serious accident that had occured since his association with Oliver, he didn't know if this time he would get out as usual.

Felicity saw Diggle's car right outside her house, looking at him from a distance she could see her face closed, which meant that this time it was really very serious. She got into the car, she was so worried about what could have happened.

- Now that I'm here, hopefully you will start filling in the blanks for this story. I have lots of questions in my head like why you were outside when I thought that Oliver had given us our evening, she said.

Diggle listened to his friend not daring to look at her, he had realized since few weeks, that Oliver had ousted Felicity from several missions. He had tried to get the archer to speak, but he had remained as silent as a carp, just telling him that it was none of his business. He had seen the change in behavior of Oliver since Felicity had been used as bait to Slade, he was aware of what had happened in the mansion, the young woman having confided, admitting to him that she had really believed the words spoken, before he slipped the syringe in his hand.

He suspected that seeing the woman he loved with Slade's sword on his neck, who risked dying by the hand of a man he had considered a brother, had upset the archer far more than diggle thought. This must have been the reason for his distance towards the young woman, he had been so afraid of losing her that he would rather reject her than give himself to their story. Diggle was brought out of his thoughts by his friend's voice who had to wait for an answer from him.

- There was only me who was not invited at the mission tonight, isn't it John ?, she said.

- When I asked him why you weren't there Oliver didn't want to say anything to me, just gave me that look that we all know...It's my business, answered John.

- Now isn't the time to understand why he no longer wants me at the foundry. Roy told me that Oliver was in the hospital but nothing else. Tell me what's going on John, she asked.

- Oliver is seriously injured Felicity, so much so that I couldn't treat him myself at the foundry. I asked Roy to warn you while I came to pick you up, he said.

He summed up for her what had happened that evening, she was very angry that because of Oliver, for whatever unknown reason, she was not present in the foundry to direct them as she always had done before. Diggle explained that it was during the patrol that they had found the Vertigo laboratory that a new dealer had opened on the docks. He explained that Oliver had wanted to do a quick spotting when they saw all the men coming out of the warehouse.

He had advanced quickly towards the front door but suddenly everything had exploded and the archer had been ejected very far by the breath of the explosion, when he had fallen his head had struck the concrete strongly. Diggle winced at the memory af all the blood on the floor as he reached Oliver. With Roy they had decided to take him to the hospital, the injuries were too serious, he could not treat him himself in the bunker. They changed him into civilian clothes and then managed to get him into the emergency room without being seen.

- Roy stays with him while I came to pick you up to take you towards him.

Felicity breathed sharply, her heart rate accelerating slightly with his friend's words. A mixture of anger, anguish and fear mingled in her, the young woman realized that it was even more serious than his shoulder injury She thought that if Oliver hadn't been so distant after what had happened in the manor, if she had reassured him by telling her that she knew he had said the words only for the trick, she ould have been there tonight protecting him with his voice in his ear.

- How is he John ? She asked with a trembling voice.

- I'm not going to lie to you Felicity, it's really not good. The doctor said he has an inflamation of the brain and it is impossible to say the extent of the damage before Oliver wakes up. If he wakes up, he added calmly.

Diggle hated to admit that their friend might never wake up, or much worse, but the doctor who trated Oliver told him that head injuries were very unpredictable, everything could go well as anything could escalate in minutes.

- Is he in a coma ?, said Felicity horrified by the situation.

- No, just he hasn't woken up yet because of the pressure in his brain. I know it's hard to hear this, but Felicity you have to know all the information in case a decicion has to be made.

Felicity swallowed hard, her throat became dry as she tried to calm her breathing, Oliver the man she loved, might not get away with it. What would the team do without him ? What would become of her if she lost him ? The young woman was almost sure that she was close to a panic attack, she didn't have it often but she felt it coming quickly. She took a long breath and then breathed slowly trying to calm down, that's the way Oliver taught her to do the first time she had a panic attack.

He had been present following a patrol he had undertaken alone, Diggle being with Lyla that night, but it had gone bad. She had been so afraid for him, so afraid of losing him that when he returned to the foundry she was already in a panic attack, he had helped her to calm her down. When she felt less stressed, she ironed her friend's words in her head. Why should she know if a decision had to be made. She was not her emergency contact, John was, and everything that was medical, John was also responsible, she turned her face to his friend.

- What do you mean in case I have to make a decision ?, she asked calmly.

- I thought you knew Felicity, said Diggle surprised that his friend didn't know the new terms of the archer's decision.

- To be informed what John, she asked.

- He has put in place a whole procedure to be followed if a situation like this happens. He knew that at one time or another wearing Arrow's costume he could be so injured that he wouldn't be able to make decisions, he said.

- Yes I know ! He asked me to do research when I joined you. I think it was after Malcolm beat him and ended up in th hospital that he realized he would need someone to help him with medical decisions, she replied.

- You are aware of the person of trust who must make the medicale decisions...But you are not aware of the rest.

Diggle glanced at Felicity trying to find any sign of inderstanding of what he had just told her but she seemed as confused as ever and handed her the document ha had placed on the dashboard, indicating the name of the person in charge of making the medical decisions.

- Felicity ! Oliver named you the person responsible for making the decisions, replied Diggle.

Felicity put her trembling hand on her mouth as she took the document withe the other whispering that it was not possible, that there must be an error. She glanced at the sheet of paper between her fingers, she swallowed as she watched her carefully, reading all the sentences. She could see his name written on the line of the trusted person to contact if a problem occurred, she could see that it was indeed Oliver's signature at the bottom of the page. She couldn't inderstand why Oliver had made the decision to let her decide whether to live or die if the injury was too great, leaving him unable to make his own decisions.

- Felicity I think you don't realize the importance you have in Oliver's eyes.

- I'm just his partner, I thought he would designate for take these kinds of decisions, you're his best friend, you're like a brother to him.

- I think at one time it was my role but if you look at the date, he made the change a month ago, said Diggle.

Felicity looking at the date could see that is friend was right, Oliver had made the change little long after they returned of the island. But why ? She wanted to ask Diggle if he knew why the archer had made this change, but she could see the hospital on her right. They arrived in the parking lot and Diggle led her to Oliver's room, Roy had been watching him for a while, he probably wanted to take a break, the wait was really hard to bear.

When Felicity was in the bedroom and saw him lying on the bed without moving, she gasped as he was plugged into a machine that monitored his heart and pulse, and for now the two were stable. He also had an IV in his arm, dispensing the pain relievers, but she could see that he could breathe on his own which was good for her. In this way in this bed Oliver seemed to be resting, if all the machines were not present withe their shrill noise, she moght have thought he was just sleeping. Unfortunately she knew it was only a pious dream, because the man she loved did not sleep but was seriously injured.

Diggle nodded to the nurse in charge of the archer since his arrival last night, who was monitoring Oliver's constants, he introduced him to Felicity explaining that she was the trusted person who would make all decisions about health from mister Queen.

- Has the doctor given any news since I left, he asked, already knowing the answer but hoping to hear another.

- No change, she said. His vital signs keep increasing which is encouraging, but he hasn't shown any signs of waking up yet. Dr Andrews should come and take him for a CT scan soon, she said calmly.

Felicity looked over to the bed, she held her breath at the sight of her infured body, almost lifeless, she left tears run down her cheeks, it hurt her to see him that way, inert. She took a few steps towards the side of his bed, while not taking her eyes from her face, his chest aching when she put a hesitant hand on his arm, letting him know that she had just arrived.

She had known since she had been at Barry's bedside for several weeks, that people who slept because of brain problems could hear or smell those near them, at least that was what Caitlin had certified to her.

- I will take Roy drink a coffee, he needs a break if something happens, call me, said Diggle.

- Okay, she replied without looking away Oliver.

Felicity sat on the chair near his bed, she took his hand had hoping that he felt his presence, it was so difficult for her to see him in this state. Thinking about the fact that he hadn't called her when they had found the drug traffickers, when she could have avoided him finding himself lying on this bed with a swelling in the brain, his anger against him took over his sadness to see him, like that.

- What were you thinking of go to this warehouse without technological help ! If you had called me, I could have known from the start the presence of dynamite, I would have avoided you to be sent to the ground, seriously inuring you. But no ! You decided ousted me from the foundry only because you dare not tell me that what you told me in the manor meant nothing to you. But you want to know the scoop of the year. I already know it silly, I know you don't love me...I know there is only she in your heart, she said angrily.

She passed her hand in his hair thinking of papers she had read in the car, she resented him for having put him in such a situation that she was responsible for his life. She could not make such a decision because the answer was ready made in her head, she loved him too much to let him die.

- Oliver...What dit you think of placing me in such a situation...To have to make the decision, to let you go if the doctor asks me to. Please, come back to me, I love you so much, I can't lose you, she whispered as she put her other hand on hers.

Oliver was in great pain, he had the impression to be passed under a truck, but he could bear the pain in his limbs. The one that was most unbearable was the one in his head, he wanted to be able to no longer feel this excruciating inflammation. He had already felt pain when he was on the island, when Fyers tortured him, or when he had to remove the bullet of his body in the freighter. He had broken bones, bruises all over his body several times and yet what he was feeling right now was even more excruciating. He wanted to slide back to sleep so he wouldn't feel anything anymore, but a voice held him back, preventing him from running away to a place wher nothing could touch him anymore.

He could not understand the words spoken, but each time he heard the voice, he felt a halo of heat surrounding him which made him bear the pain, which made him want to get out of this fog in which he found himself. With the force he drew from deep indide him he decided to leave this place, this voice which spoke to him belonged to a woman and he wanted to meet this person who did him good. He moaned when he moved, fought against the wave of nausea when he wanted to open the eyes only to close them immedialely when the light shocked his system.

Felicity looked up at the body of the man she loved when she heard him moan, she saw him open the eyes to close them quickly. Her heart struck in his chest to see him trying to wake up, she put her hand on his chest caressing him to let him know his presence. She quickly understood that the light in the room should inconvenience him, she quickly did what was necessary so that the room was less illuminated, she also sent a message to John announcing the awakening of their friend. She always sat down, her hand caressing him chest, waiting that he opened his eyes again.

- Oliver ! Can you hear me ? Oliver, open your eyes, she said.

Oliver more clearly heard the soft voice, he went little by little from the fog in which he had found himself, he tried to open his eyes again but his pain in the head made him suffer. He focused on what he had to do, he wanted to meet this person, the only way was to wake up. He relaxed, used the forces he had left in his body, then opened his eyes gently. When finally he could open them fully, he turned his head gently, on one side he could see a window but could not make out what was outside, his eyes probably getting used to even the dim light.

On the other side he distinguished the shape of a person, but because of his vision still too blurred, because of this inflammation in the head he could not detail it well, but he suspected that the voice which the had helped out of his alarm clock belonged to this individual.

- I'm thirsty please, he whispered.

Felicity caressed Oliver's arm gently letting him know that she understood what he wanted, she turned to the bedside table where the jug and the glass that the nurse had placed there, she filled it, put the straw in the water and turned to help him drink. She gently slid her hand behind her neck as she slowly tilted her head and placed the straw between his lips.

- Takes small sips. she said softly.

The water did him good against his dry throat, his vision started to come back a little bit but not well enough to see the face of the woman at his side, his vision still blurred. He blinked several times and screamed of pain everytime, his head beating louder with this simple gesture.

- I'm going to get a doctor Oliver, she said, getting up from a chair and hearing her scream.

When she saw him blink, she realized that now that he was awake, the inflammation in his head must still make him suffer. When she wanted to leave the room to call the doctor or even a nurse she was stopped in her movements by the hand of Oliver who was clutching hers. When the young man felt that the young woman near the bed was going to leave him he felt a loss invade him, a fear even harder to bear than the pain itself. He reached out, grabbed his hand firmly as his vision tried to come back and he could finally make out the face of the woman near him.

- Please don't go, he said, his voice filled with despair.

Felicity felt her heart tighten in her chest when she heard the distress in her voice, she put down the empty glass, shook his hand while placing the other on his chest again.

- I'm not leaving you Oliver ... I'm just going to call a nurse to come and relieve your pain.

- No! Please don't leave me, he said.

- Ok Oliver! I'm just going to press the button to call him, but I'm not leaving the room.

Oliver nodded, he felt better knowing that she would not leave, he did not take his eyes off her even though his vision was still blurred, his head still hurting, but as long as she was there, he was not alone and the thought calmed him. A few seconds after he heard a door open, he realized it was the nurse when she changed the painkiller bag and announced that she was going to notify the doctor of her awakening. Again after the nurse's departure, he heard the door open and then close again to open again a few minutes later. He could see the shape of a person who was standing at the foot of the bed, his vision still failing him, considering the size was a man he thought, which was confirmed when he spoke.

- Hi Oliver! I'm really happy that you are with us again, said Diggle touching his leg.

Oliver turned his head a little and could see another shape, more small this time, he thought that it was perhaps his little sister who did not dare to approach him too much for fear of hurting him.

- Don't worry not Speedy, I'm fine, at least as a man who just woke up from an accident, he says.

- If you compared me at Thea it's nice Oliver, but I may have more muscle than your sister, said Roy laughing.

- Sorry But I still see fuzzy for the moment, from afar I thought you were my little sister.

Everyone was silent in the room at the moment when the doctor came in the room after having been informed by the nurse that his patient had just to wake up, after having remained unconscious for three hours. Felicity moved to make room for Dr. Andrews, who was already starting to check Oliver's vital signs on the machines, and went around to hold his hand on the other side. The doctor asked his patient's friends to leave the room so that he could examine him.

- We'll be behind the door. Let us know when you're done, says Diggle.

Oliver squeezed Felicity's hand preventing him from leaving, his vision came back partially again, he could make out four people in the room, three men and the woman who held his hand. He fixed her with attention even if this movement made him suffer enormously.

- You said you were going nowhere, he said like a little boy.

Felicity looked at the doctor asking her to let her stay, she didn't understand Oliver's reaction but to calm him down she would do anything for him. The doctor agreed and began his observation leaving the other three people in the room, Felicity sat down again on the chair still holding the archer's hand.

- Let Dr. Andrews examine you, I will stay with you , I promise, she said.

After a quarter of an hour the doctor explained that he was really lucky, he had no broken bones, but he would feel the pain of the impact on his muscles which would fade after a few days . But that the head injury was much bigger and what worried him the most, especially because of the swelling that was compressed part of his brain. He explained that he had to ask several simple enough questions to find out if he was at risk for memory loss due to brain compression. He started with the basic questions.

- What is your name, he asked.

- Oliver Jonas Queen.

- What is your date of birth and where do you live?

- May 16, 1985 and I live in Starling City.

Dr. Andrews was pleased with the responses, but explained that this did not mean that he had no memory problems. So he had to continue his interrogation. Not very happy, Oliver agreed anyway.

- Can you tell me what happened to you. Your bodyguard explained to me your motorcycle accident but do you remember it ? Asked the doctor.

Felicity looked at Diggle who signaled that Oliver's secret was safe, indeed he had invented like the last time, a little over a year ago, that he had had a motorcycle accident. But this time he added that the motorcycle had exploded due to the fuel leak and that Oliver had been sent fifty meters further on the asphalt.

- No, I have no memories of what happened, or how I got to the hospital.

- Sometimes you lose some of your memory with a head injury, says the doctor. Your friends are there to help you quickly find your memories.

Oliver turned his head towards the people present in the room with him, he felt the young woman at his sides shake his hand, smile too. How beautiful it was, he thought. Then he looked at the two men, the boy he had taken for his sister, and the more muscular man who must have had military training because of his way of standing straight. He tried to think where he could have met them, but the pain in his head was again very present, he unfortunately had to tell the doctor the truth.

- I'm sorry, but I don't know any of these people, replied Oliver.

- Yet you hold the hand of this young woman, as if you knew her, says the doctor.

- It was her angelic voice that made me wake up, but unfortunately I don't know at all who she is. I'm sorry miss, replied Oliver.

Felicty felt her heart break, she thought he knew who she was when he woke up, who was Diggle when he looked at him but she should have understood by the time he had confused Roy to his sister that something was wrong. She was like everyone else thinking that because of his blurred vision he had been wrong. What a mistake on their part. Diggle heard the words came out of Oliver's mouth, he was so happy that his friend woke up that not a moment he thought he might have lost his memory. For having forgotten his night work, his mission, his partners, the woman he loved.

Roy groaned only in anger at life to take away from him another person he cared for, even if neither Thea or Oliver had died in a certain way they had both left him alone again.

- Can you tell me your last memory before your accident Mr. Queen, asked the doctor.

- The meal I had last night with my mother and her husband Walter Steel, my sister and my best friend Tommy.

Diggle realized that his friend's last memory was a few hours after his return from the island, which meant that he had no idea that two important people had died, that Thea had left, or that he was a vigilante.

- Speaking of my family, do you know when I can see my mother and sister, asked Oliver.

- We will warn them, Mr. Queen, said the doctor.

- You haven't done it yet ? You didn't warn Laurel Lance either, she's my little friend, even if she is mad at me right now for what i did, replied Oliver.

Felicity felt his heart squeeze even more, it was hard to realize that he might never remember her, his friends, his role for save the city. But it was even harder not to suffer knowing that he had not forgotten the woman he had made suffer for years with his infidelities.

- Mister Queen I have to tell you something that will surely be hard to believe but we are no longer in 2012 but in 2014 ... You have lost two years of your life, says Dr Andrews.

Oliver stared at him trying to understand what he had just said, he had not just returned from the island but it had been two years since he had returned, it was impossible. He felt the hand of the young woman he should know come off and he watched her go away feeling a cold surround him.

Felicity walked away from Oliver, she suspected that his behavior was surely childish, that she should stay by his side to support him but she felt sadness invade him knowing that she was surely not important enough in the Oliver's life so he can remember knowing her. The doctor explained to Oliver that he was going to send stretcher bearers to take him to radiology because he wanted him to have a CT scan. Before she could get out Felicity put her arm on the doctor's to stop him.

- Will he remember one day ?, Felicity asked the doctor sadly.

- I have no answer to this question miss. Either he regains his memory completely, or all his memories concerning his life during these two years will be lost forever.

Oliver watched the young woman walk away from him after she learned that he had lost his memory, he certainly did not remember her but he felt a hollow inside his heart when she let go of his hand. Looking at these three people, supposed to be his friends, he wondered what could have happened to him so that he ended up in a hospital, having forgotten two years of his life.
