Okay so this is a story that has been constantly bugging me for ages and I decided to try it as a multi-chapter story so here's the first chapter, please tell me what you think and review.

Felicity had just finished the scans on the current bad dude of the week and was making her way back home. This morning Digg had given her a ride but she offered to walk back home because he was needed elsewhere, with a certain overbearing, arrogant, stuck up, spiteful, wicked witch of the west A.K.A. Moira Queen, even though she was Oliver's mother still didn't mean that she had to like her at all. No matter how much Oliver hated the idea of her walking home alone at night and especially through the Glades she still did it, he could've been arguing with her for about two hours because she didn't really keep track but in the end she reminded him that it was 'her life, her choice' and he just said 'screw it, do what you want!' in a growly voice that sounded very much like the Arrow's but without the voice modulator then stormed out of the building. Deciding to take a shortcut to get home quicker Felicity took the nearby left walking down a thin passageway, working with the guys really did make her more conscious of taking in her surroundings at all times. All of a sudden a shiver ran up her spine, making her hairs stand on end, she didn't know what it was but she didn't like it. It all happened in a blur, one second Felicity was walking and the next she was getting surrounded by all directions and sedated but she wasn't going down without a fight. Digg's training came fighting into her system, controlling her body to lash out at the men. Kicking and punching, her hands were clenched into tight fists and were flailing about aiming for somewhere that hurt. Yelps of pain and quite a painful crunch seemed to echo through the alleyway. At least 3 out of the 5 men that were ganging up on her went down. The sedative started taking effect because her body began to feel like lead, making her movements and reactions much slower. Managing to get a glimpse of the faces surrounding her, Felicity committed them to memory. Before everything went black she felt herself being tossed in the back of a vehicle then doors slamming followed by complete and utter darkness. Her last thoughts of consciousness were Oliver and the team.

Felicity made her way across the open space of the old warehouse she had been calling home for the past two years.

"Liz" a voice suddenly caught her attention,

"Yes Aiden" she replied. About halfway into her first year here, Felicity had created a piece of software that was basically alive and so kept her company through the last year and a half. Not really sure of what to call her creation, she came up with the name Aiden and I guess you could say that he's become her partner in the new life she was living. She preferred having Aiden to an actual living partner because truth be told she didn't trust herself around other people, always fearing she could snap at any point, and besides Aiden was so much more helpful because he could easily hack into any computer/techy object and was constantly in her ear helping out wherever he could.

"There has been movement near the docks" Aiden stated.

"Well then looks like I'm taking a trip to the docks, try not to have too much fun while I'm gone" she threw over her shoulder as she made her way over to the exit.

The past two years have been the most complicated years of her life, it all started when she was kidnapped from the empty alleyway near her house. After that point her life as Felicity Smoak EA to Oliver Queen at QC, partner to the Arrow and his bodyguard/driver John Diggle was over. The month that followed that experience was blurry, barely remembering anything the only thing that was clear to her memory was pain. It's taken her a little over a year to control her new found strength that surged through her veins. At the beginning, when she first found the abandoned warehouse, she barely had control over her body and her actions. To be honest, she didn't know why she didn't just go back to the Arrow cave (as she liked to call it) where Oliver, Digg, Sara and Roy could've helped her so instead she chose to walk away from them until she had control over her own power. Her new strength allowed her to be much more agile and smarter not to mention stronger than ordinary people. Following in Oliver's footsteps Felicity became a friend to the neighbourhood and using her strength to defend and helppeople in need of it and couldn't defend themselves. For the past year both her and Aiden have been scouring the place for a certain man that is linked to what had happened to her. Exiting the building she made sure her mask was in place before she began jumping roof to roof, towards the docks. Felicity had decided that if she wanted to keep her identity a secret then she would have to dress the part. She wore a black leather cat suit with a V-neck that didn't reveal too much of her cleavage, with a shoulder strap which held her main weapons on her back and a belt that held her arrows. Hiding under her cat suit was a necklace, which was a wolf howling to the moon. Her main weapon was an extendable staff that switched to nunchucks and her backup weapon was a bow and arrow with a knife hidden in a pocket of her left leg that was for emergencies, she was almost definite that Oliver left his mark on her when it came to weapons and leather. Her mask covered the main portion of her face, only leaving her mouth and a small section of her nose uncovered.

"Liz, be careful" Aiden said over the ear piece.

"Aren't I always?" Felicity replied with a smirk in her voice

"Please tell me that's a trick question" he shot back, earning a huff from her.

Outside the building, Felicity could already tell that there was somebody inside of it and they weren't alone. Cautiously entering the warehouse (seriously what was it with abandoned warehouses? They were everywhere) from high up, giving her an advantage over the others, she could see somebody she was pretty sure she was never going to see again. Beneath a dark green figure was engaging in combat and was clearly outnumbered but was putting up a good fight. Debating what she should do, Felicity waited patiently to see if he would need help. This was the first time in two years that she'd seen him and from what she could see, he hadn't changed. From behind him appeared five more men that clearly wanted a fight- so they would receive one. Dropping to the ground in one swift, fluid motion, Felicity grabbed hold of her staff and extending it then she locked in combat with the five men that had been targeting the Arrow. Defeating them with ease, she twirled around to a 6 on 1 fight and instantly intervened. The Arrow was clearly surprised by a sudden set of helping hands but recovered quickly as he received a blow to the stomach and she swore she heard a crack from him but it didn't seem to faze him as he powered through. Working as team they both managed to put all the men face-down on the floor. As they both turned to face each other, she was met by a questioning look.

"Who are you?" his firm voice broke the silence.

"Somebody who just saved your arse so you might want to watch it next time" she shot back at him, receiving a confused yet stern glare.

"What do you want?" he asked, clearly wondering whether she was friend or foe.

"Nothing from you, and none of your business…..clearly" she replied before ignoring him to check the men out- not in the rude way though. Muttering to Aiden over the ear piece whether these men were in any means connected then she scanned them all over to make sure they were out but breathing. She could feel his intense gaze burning a hole in the back of her head.

"Why do you seem so familiar to me?" he wondered out loud

"Part of my natural charm I guess" she said over her shoulder, "Yeah well I'm done here, have fun hoody and watch out for those sneaky ones".

"Don't call me that" he full out growled "The name's Arrow"

"Yeah I already know that, doesn't take a genius to figure it out" Felicity replied finally making eye contact with him, pointing to the several arrows that had latched themselves in some of the men's legs "name's Black Smoak".

"I guess I'm going to have to thank you for watching my back" he stated sceptically

"Well, I know a good person when I see one and don't worry about it" she said.

"Going up?" he asked while retrieving an arrow with a line attached to it. At her nod, he released the arrow and reached out his hand. Looking at it for a few seconds, Felicity graciously took it. Pulling her close, he placed one hand around her waist as one of hers banded around his neck. Zipping through the air, they reached the roof in a matter of few seconds.

"Got to go, maybe I'll see you around hood boy" Felicity said in a teasing tone,

"I told you not to call me that" he growled out

"Where's the fun in that" she exclaimed with a smirk before she began bounding roof to roof.

Returning back to the lair, Oliver was still deep in thought about the Black Smoak and how she reminded him of somebody that was very close to him. Maybe it was her figure, personality?

"Hey, what happened?" a voice snapped him out of his trail of thoughts "who were you talking to?"

"Black Smoak, she kind of reminded me of somebody but she saved my arse from five guys who were trying to sneak up on me"

"Who'd she remind you of?"

"Do I really need to answer that?"

"Felicity" The way Digg said it was more of a statement than a question. At the point, Oliver had ditched the hood and bow, settling for a few hours on the salmon ladder instead while Digg saw the guilt and anger that was welling up instead of him ever since Felicity had been kidnapped. When they saw the crime scene they had seen splatters of her blood along the ground with an empty syringe of a sedative drug lying broken on the floor beside her purse with the contents scattered on the ground. They knew she had put up a fight but obviously it wasn't good enough.

"Oliver it's been two years since it happened, there's still a good chance that she's alive"

"Digg…..just don't, both Sara and Roy have already given me this conversation"

"Alright, but this isn't how she would expect you to act Oliver. Felicity would want you to keep living your life as you usually do, even if she's not here with us"

"I CAN'T!" Oliver bellowed as it echoed around the lair and Digg swore he saw tears beginning to form in his eyes. Then without another word he took off towards the door of the training room. Digg had a feeling they would have to order some new training dummies.

"God, Felicity I wish you were here….it'd much easier for him, for all of us".
