She was so very pissed at all of them. They were overprotective again, and she hated that. She noticed the way Oliver looked away when she and Steve hugged, he looked at the floor while she was talking to Nat and Clint and he was definitely not making any eye contacts with all of them, besides with Cap. She could see in his eyes that he would love to punch Steve and, to be honest was a little happy about. Of course not the part when Oliver and Steve would kill each other but the part when Oliver was jealous and cute but still doing nothing about their relationship.
She was thinking about the night he told her he loved her as she was unpacking in her old room. Whenever Oliver did something to show his affection for her it was always making her think about that night. Now when Sarah was gone he had been treating her differently, paying more attention to what she says and spending time with her. Just both of them, alone, talking, joking. Not that she hated or disliked Sarah.
Steve on the other hand was a different story. From the moment they met he couldn't get his eyes from her neither could she. From the moment all Avengers gathered she and Steve couldn't stop talking and laughing and making everything together. And then the New York battle happened and he just kind of pull away from everyone and they just stopped talking and sharing and that's when Felicity moved to Starling City. They had called and texted every now and then but it wasn't like before.
As she was searching through her wardrobe , finding old clothes she heard a knock on the door and Jarvis talked.
"Miss Felicity, Oliver Queen wishes to enter the room. Shall I let him?"
"Of course, Jarvis, as a matter of fact you don't need to ask me anymore about Oliver and should let him whenever he wants" Felicity said as she was looking at some old shirt.
"As you wish miss Felicity" and Jarvis unlocked the door.
"Hey" Oliver said quietly with a small smile as he entered the room.
"Hi" she smiled and showed him the T-shirt she had found. It was pink with Iron Man's gold part of the mask on it. It was a little smaller than the T-shirts she wore now "do you think that would fit me. I think I gained weight."
"Felicity you are per.. You look great and I think it would fit you perfectly. " he smiled and looked around her room. She had one really big bed, the walls were purple and the furniture white, she had a desk with nothing on it but when he got better view on it there was a screen on, she had bigger wardrobe and bathroom that he had in their old house and the TV was much bigger than himself. He noticed that on one of the walls she had some photos.
He looked at them and there were three or four with her and her father, a couple with the Cap and some more with the whole team. There was an old picture of a woman and a girl.
"Felicity, who is this?" He asked. She come closer so she could see the photo better
"This was my mother. Dad took this picture on my last birthday party with my mom." Felicity said
"I'm sorry " he said and turned to hug her. She accepted the hug and buried her face in his chests.
As they stepped back he grabbed her face with his hands and leaned closer to her. He could feel her blushing as her cheeks became hotter. He was going to kiss her and this time there was no Slade or an army of super soldiers or anyone who could stop him.
Except her father who opened the door and entered her room. They drove apart, Oliver looked at the floor and Felicity blushed even more.
"Uhm, I was coming to tell you that Thor decided he wanted to make his famous Asgardian dish for dinner and since he can't cook I was going to order pizza." Tony said.
"Oh, well, I think I would like to try this asgardian meal but it won't hurt to order a pizza, just in case. Oliver, you want some?" Felicity asked awkwardly.
"Ugh, yeah, I can manage with pizza"
"Great! Oliver would you go to Clint and order some while Felicity helps me down in the workshop?"
"Yes, yes, I'm going." He nodded and went to the door.
"You can ask Digg as well. He is not much into this new things." Felicity added still with the blush on her face.
"Will do." Oliver said and walked out of the room as fast as he could
Tony had his arms crossed in front of his chest looking a little bit of angry and curious. You know how Tony looks, like 10% of anger and 90% of curiosity.
"You know I got under the impression that you didn't want more superheroes in your life." Tony said and Felicity could sence the judgement in his voice.
"I think this offends you." She sat on her bed.
"Well, yes, taking in mind you left telling me you don't want to live in constant fear for us. Yet whenever I called you you were with him doing some "vigilante" job. I can't see the point in you leaving us" he sat next to her.
"Dad, this is different. You know that when I was here you didn't even let me know where are you going and I had to find it the hard way, hacking S.H.I.E.L.D and then having to talk to Fury EVERY SINGLE TIME." She said as she was looking at the floor, gathering some courage to look her dad in the eyes.
"And I'm not saying that I do not live in constant fear now, but at least I'm trying to help, and actually succeed, sometime even saving their lives." She said with a little smile.
"And you don't have to see Steve every day and practically live with him" Tony said as Felicity finally looked at him with teary eyes and nodded.
"Dad, you know what I felt for him. And now it's the same, you now. It like I found another Steve and another team Avengers and I don't know what to do, and sometimes I want to talk to you about this and I want to talk to mom because she would know what to say and..." she started crying.
"Shh... Sweetie, please, do not cry, please everything will be okay." He hugged her and wiped out her tears.
"Now what would you say about going to the workshop? Me and Bruce have something very interesting to show you. Okay?" Tony asked as he got up and smiled.
"Yeah, okay, I will come" she said as she wiped all the other tears and forced a smile.
"And sweetie, I want you to promise me something!" He cupped her face. "From now on I want you to tell me everything that is bothering you. Everything! Do you understand me?" Felicity only nodded but that was enough for Tony.
"Oh and Fel. If that Queen boy makes you cry one more time I would make him wish you hadn't move to Starling at all."
Felicity laughed and punched him I'm the arm.
"Daaaad. Stop." They both laughed as they exited the room. "No, dad seriously, stop harassing him. He didn't do anything but protect me. Always. " Felicity said with a serious face.
"Yeah, okay, I will try really hard. But I am not promising anything on the behalf of the team. Especially Steve. Sweetie, you should talk to him." He became serious too.
"Yeah, okay, I think I can do that. Now, what's so interesting and urgent that you had me, Oliver and Dig come to NY?"
Steve was sitting on the sofa in the "living room" they had made for some nights to watch movies or just to hang out. Natasha and Clint were there too and Thor was running from the kitchen to the living room and back in a hurry to cook his meal but to be in the conversation too.
"I don't think she is save with him. I made Jarvis search him on the net and trust me when I am telling you that the is not one good article written about this guy. How she could leave us for him?" Steve said angry and sadly as he drank of his whiskey trying to get drunk but miserably failing because of the serum in his body.
"I think we should give him a chance. If Felicity choose him to be her companion in her life then maybe she is seeing something in him that we can't!" Thor said standing near the door of the kitchen
"Thor she's not gonna marry him!" Cap said angrier than before
"Than you have nothing to worry about Captain!" Thor said with a smile.
"That's not the point Thor. We are saying that she is working with him and putting her life in danger because of him!" Natasha said.
"Well, then Captain you should tell her about your undying love for her!" Thor exclaimed happily.
Steve dropped his head in his hands and Clint more annoyed than ever pretend to smell something.
"Uhm Thor, I think I smell something burning!" He said pretending to be worried. Thor ran into the kitchen and left the three of them alone.
"Actually Cap, you know he is right, eh? I mean If you had told her that you have feelings for her she wouldn't have left." Natasha said looking at him seriously.
"Guys this is not the point. We should talk to them and we should really get to know them before we make some accusations and ruin their life. I mean I am totally up to that but Felicity would never forgive us if we do that" Clint said as he drank all of his beer.
"Yeah, maybe you are right. We should see their skills too. I mean I would like to see who is better shooter, Hawkeye." Natasha said as she smiled at Clint. He on his behalf didn't say anything just opened another beer and drank.
