Here's a story that I'm starting. I've only seen all of season one and like half of season two of Arrow but I really wanted to write this down and show you guys. Also I am so sorry that I haven't been updating my other stories that much. College is hella stressful. Enjoy :D
Felicity sighed as she looked at the monitors in the Arrowcave while Oliver did unnaturally quiet pushups and Diggle and Roy did some hand to hand combat.
"What's the matter Felicity?" Oliver asked without pausing his activities.
"For now nothing and hopefully it will stay that way." She stood, "Don't ask it's not important, at least not right now. I need to make a phone call." Then she went outside.
For all the time that Oliver had known her, Felicity had never said so little and left so abruptly. She was keeping something from him.
Outside Felicity was rubbing her temple with one hand while she gripped her phone in the other. The phone rang three times before it was answered.
"Felicity! Is everything okay?" a young man answered.
"Sam, do I have to call if it's an emergency or can I just call because I miss you?" she asked tightly.
"Umm, you know you can call but you usually call on the weekends, it's a Tuesday. What's wrong?"
"Okay so I think we might have a problem here in Starling City…" she almost whispered.
"Felicity, you wouldn't call us if you weren't sure." Sam told her, "Spit it out."
"I hate bothering you guys."
"Felicity." She could feel his bitchface through the phone.
"Fine," she grumbled, "I'm almost positive that it's just a small group of ghouls, but Starling City is crowded and when people in the Glades and outside the Glades are being torn to shreds it can't be ignored."
"Alright, uh Dean's asleep and we just got done with a wendigo, and it's late so we'll probably be there tomorrow night but keep us updated."
"Yeah okay, get some sleep okay?" she told him.
"Sure thing." Sam said, "Love you."
"Love you too." She hung up and turned around and her face smashed right into Oliver's sweaty bare chest. He rose an eyebrow at her.
"Um hi?" she smiled sweetly at him.
"Felicity, who was on the phone." It wasn't a question.
"Honestly?" he nodded, "My brother."
"You have a brother?" he asked.
"Oliver now is not the time to talk about this."
"So when is the time?" he followed her as she stalked back into the Arrowcave, "We agreed on no secrets Felicity."
She whipped towards him, "No secrets that could potentially endanger what we do as a team. You don't tell us about everything that happened on the island, and you don't know everything that happened in my past. I will let you know if the circumstances change." She said sternly and then sat at the computer and didn't turn around for the rest of the night.

Felicity Smoak stayed with her cousin Joanna Beth Harvelle every summer and then after her dad left her and her mom moved to Nebraska to live with her Jo and her mom Ellen. Felicity thinks that her dad left because even though her mom wasn't a hunter, it was part of her mom's life and he couldn't deal with the paranoia anymore.
Her mom said he fell in love with someone else but Felicity new better.
Felicity's aunt Ellen owned a bar for hunters and she grew up there for most of her life, learning about everything along with her cousin Jo. They were best friends and then Felicity finally went off to college. Jo went to but she didn't belong there. She was meant for the life of the hunter but Felicity, she was meant for the life of a high tech nerd that could hack into anything she wanted. She liked the normal life but she missed home a lot.
Since she grew up with the Harvelle's she also grew up with the Winchester's and Bobby Singer. They were one giant family and you couldn't have one without the other. Jo became a sister and Sam and Dean Winchester became her brothers.
Then she moved to Starling City, Ash found her a job there with his weirdo connections. She missed Nebraska a lot, it was her home, but Starling City was her home now too.

The next day she was sitting in her desk outside of Oliver's office like normal when her phone rang. It was Dean.
"Dean?" she answered shooting Oliver a glance to see if he was paying attention. He was.
"Hiya sweetheart how yah been?"
"Honestly? Paranoid and stressed because of the whole ghoul situation and my uh, boss is asking questions and I don't like keeping secrets from my friends." She sighed.
"Well sorry bout that," Dean huffed, "But uh I don't exactly have the best news."
Felicity grumbled and pinched the bridge of her nose between her fingers, "What."
"The latest victims of the ghouls are all over the Starling City news kid, Sammy and I will be there around seven or eight."
"Alright I'll give you the address, there's a few people you need to meet for this all to work out, love you." She hung up before he could ask any more questions. Oliver looked at her with a puzzled look but she waved him off.
Later on that night she called Oliver from her apartment.
"Felicity? Where are you?"
"I'm at my apartment. Some family will be here in a minute and then I'm bringing them to the Arrowcave," she cut him off before he could answer, "Now I need you to trust me on this, my brothers are here to help. They kind of remind me of you sometimes, but that's beside the point."
She could hear Oliver sigh heavily on the other end of the receiver, "Fine. Diggle and I will be there soon, Roy's with Thea." He hung up.
She went to put her phone in her pocket when it buzzed. She had a text message from Jo.
I hitched a ride with Sam and Dean.
That was all it said. Felicity smiled a little, Jo would do anything to get a chance to hunt a monster, see the city and Felicity all in one go. She only hoped her and Dean were letting Sam get a separate hotel room on the way.
She heard the sound of the impala pulling into the parking lot of her apartment complex. She ran out of the apartment. Even though they were here for a bad reason she couldn't help but be excited to see them. She hadn't seen them in two Christmas'.
Sam saw her first and his face broke into a giant puppy grin that was remarkably similar to a ray of sunlight. He scooped her up in his arms and spun her around in a circle.
"Sam!" she giggled, "I've missed you."
"I've missed you too Felicity, you need to call more often. Emails aren't satisfying me anymore." He set her down.
"I will." She said and turned around only to be face to face with Dean. She hugged him around the waist immediately.
"Hiya kid." He huffed but he was smiling. He returned the hug, cradling the back of her head with one of his large rough hands and settled his chin on her hair.
"Hey Dean."
"Get outta the way," Jo said nudging him in the ribs so that his arms came free. She squeezed her way in front of him and hugged Felicity the tightest.
"I've missed you Felix." Jo said tightly, Jo always called her Felix even though she hated it. Jo thought Felicity was too long and Felicity hated Felix because it was a boy name, but now she welcomed the familiarity.
"Come on, back in the car." Felicity said walking towards the Impala.
"What why?" Dean asked, "We can't go in for a beer first?"
"First of all, I don't have any beer, and second of all, no. We need to get to the Arrowcave before my friends get there."
"Arrowcave?" Jo asked.
"Friends?" Sam asked.
"You don't have any beer? At all?" Dean asked. Felicity couldn't help but smile.
"I'll explain on the way."
They arrived at Verdant five minutes later and Felicity lead them inside and down to the Arrowcave, and then proceeded to answer all of their questions.
"Okay I get that you work with the Arrow and shit and I get that he built all of this but how?" Dean asked.
"That's easy enough to answer," Felicity said with a smirk, "The Arrow is Oliver Queen."
Sam, Dean and Jo all looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"You told me you worked for Queen Consolidated not that you were buddy buddy with the one and only Ollie Queen." Jo said.
"It's complicated." They didn't miss her cringe. It was a Felicity cringe which meant that feelings were involved and that it was very complicated.
"Oliver and Diggle should be here any minute and then we can get started on the Ghouls."
-x-
When Oliver and Diggle pulled up in front of Verdant he did not fail to notice the beautiful 1967 Black Chevrolet Impala sitting there in all its glory. Felicity's family had good taste. Diggle saw it too.
"You're going to get along too well with this guy or you're going to hate each other, so behave yourself."
Oliver turned on Dig, "What does that mean?"
"You know exactly what it means." Dig said and walked ahead of him.
As they entered the Arrowcave Oliver was surprised to see four people instead of two. It seems that Felicity doesn't have one brother but two. And a sister. He felt a twinge of hurt pang in his ribcage. He thought he was close with her but then again she didn't know everything about him either.
Standing next to Felicity was an abnormally tall and decently large man with almost shoulder length hair and a pistol tucked into the back of his jeans sitting just under a red and maroon flannel. They had their backs to him. Standing in front of the tall man and Felicity, facing them, was another not as tall but still tall and significantly large man with short brown hair in a leather jacket, and thick boots. His arm hung loosely around the waist of a small blonde woman who was very pretty and wore a large blue flannel over a skin tight t-shirt. Her jeans were the same color as the large man's but they were tight and she was flicking a butterfly knife around in her hand.
The short haired man looked at Felicity and nodded forward. She turned around and smiled at them.
"Felicity." Oliver said as he walked over to her, Diggle was right behind him.
"Oliver, great, awesome, you're here and now I can introduce everyone and explain everything and gosh this is going to be more difficult than I thought and maybe we shouldn't be doing this here, so many sharp things, and you probably won't even believe me and oh my goodness—" Sam cut her off.
"Hey Felicity," he said gently putting a hand on her shoulder, "You're doing the thought vomit thing that you do when you're overwhelmed. I'm sure everything will be fine."
Oliver couldn't help but glare at the tall but very kind man, he was usually the one who stopped her thought vomit thing.
She took a deep breath and then quickly explained to Dig and Oliver about her childhood and how she became part of the Winchester-Harvelle family.
"So," she said smiling slightly, "This is Sam Winchester, his older brother Dean, and this is Jo Harvelle."
"It's nice to meet you, "Sam said smiling, Dean half smiled and nodded at them and Jo was as crude as ever and said, "Wow Felix who knew your boss was a hottie." Dean choked a little on his breath at that comment and rose an eyebrow at Dean, "Oh shut up, you've got nothing to worry about."
Felicity cleared her throat to get their attention, "Guys, these are my friends and fellow members of the Arrow team, Oliver Queen and John Diggle."
"Nice to meet you guys." Diggle said smiling and Oliver barely smiled, if you hadn't been looking you wouldn't have seen his lip quirk.
"Felicity can you please explain what this is all about?" he asked her in that amazing gentle voice that he used only with her.
"Um yeah," she sighed and went to sit in her chair in front of the monitors, everyone followed. Sam stood behind her and held her hand, "Okay so this is going to be really hard to believe but to get the conversation going I'm going to say this; Monsters are real."
"Monsters?" Oliver asked lifting an eyebrow.
"Yeah monsters." Dean said speaking for the first time since they arrived, "Ghosts, demons, vamps, werewolves, the whole shebang, all real."
"It might actually be easier to tell you what isn't real." Sam explained.
"The tooth fairy, Santa, the Easter Bunny, Aliens" Jo added, "Those aren't real."
"I know this sounds crazy but I would never lie to you Oliver." Felicity said earnestly, "This is what I was keeping from you. My family, my mom, these guys they're all hunters. It's how I grew up, I'm the only one who's ever gotten out, and I've never really been fully out. Once you're part of it there's no going back."
"Okay just….just give me a minute." Oliver sighed turned around and then looked at her, "I believe you."
"You do?"
"Yes Felicity I do." He looked at the ceiling, "On the island there was something there, something that wasn't natural. Shado, Slade and I managed to stay away from it but her father had warned her about it. It would almost like change shape, sometimes it was a wolf and sometimes it was a man. I've known since then about the supernatural, I just chose to stay uninvolved."
"Wise choice." Dean grunted.
"Skinwalker." Sam said.
"What?" Diggle asked.
"It was a Skinwalker, what you saw on the island." Sam said looking at Oliver, "Most of the time they're harmless but sometimes packs can go rogue."
"I believe you too Felicity," Diggle added, "It's just gonna take a little more than chatter about this shit to convince me fully."
"Let's talk about the situation then." Jo said stepping forward into the middle of the group, she looked right at Oliver, "The people in your city are dying and it's not a group of drug dealers working for a power hungry suit."
Oliver's face immediately darkened, "What killing them?"
Sam and Dean answered at the same time, "Ghouls."
