Chapter Two
Hi everyone, I am so sorry for uploading so late and long. I was going through some hardships, I quit writing, feeling so uninspired and broken. I am doing well now, and I found myself again and I wanted to go back to writing. Anyway, without further a-do here is chapter two, I made this chapter a bit longer. Enjoy R&R!
Gotham City Batcave 08:30:15 PM
"It's been exactly a week when mayor-elected Oliver Queen was last seen when giving his statement to SCPD when CEO Felicity Smoak has been abducted from her apartment that same evening, believing it to be the Joker's work. Felicity Smoak is the current CEO of Palmer Tech, while working on her current project that will help the residents of Star City to afford housing. We are now live with Captain Lance alongside with District Attorney Laurel Lance."
Deciding that they have seen enough, Bruce decided to turn off the news from his Bat computer, Joker is in town which means Felicity Smoak is in town as well.
"Mr. Pennyworth, may I-"
"Here you go, Master Damien, another cup of tea, for the last time just call me Alfred." Alfred says while he pours a second cup for Bruce as well and sets it down next to him.
"At least he has manners, Alfred. Remember how he was when he first came in, kid was such a brat I wanted to put a bullet in him. One shot is all ask." Jason Todd says across the room cleaning his guns.
"I still have the scar of the last time we had different opinions, but I still beat him. I am content with that." Dick Grayson walked in along with Tim Drake, Alfred already pouring tea for them once they sat at the medical station. Probably putting some ointment on a few cuts and bruises, from patrol tonight.
"When I first met Damien, he was a bit spoiled but after that showdown with the League, he grew up a bit. Although I won't forget how Bruce bested him on intelligence work." Tim mentioned as he put some alcohol on Dick, a few curse words under his breath were given.
"Yet I still bested almost all of you in a fight." Damien snaps back at them.
"How come nobody tells me that we're hosting a roast party for Damien? Alfred, no tea for me thank you, sorry for being late I had coffee with my dad, he sends his regards."
Barbara Gordon, an amazing computer whiz will always have the information for GCPD, useful and has a quick wit. Damien appreciated that in people it was rare to see that in people, it was like watching a rare dove in the wilderness. He liked Barbara, she was nice, firm, fair, and straightforward. She saved him when there was fire in the Watchtower a beam went down and hit him on his head, knocking him out conscious. Barbara was in her wheelchair and without hesitation picked him up, used his grapple gun to escape. She managed to change him out of his Robin uniform into civilian clothing. When he finally woke up, he found himself in his bedroom, with a concussion and minor smoke damaged, but saw Barbara changing his bandages. "Well it's a good thing you're not dead, or otherwise Bruce will never let me babysit again." She remarked, he snorted but let her change his bandages. He noticed that she had a few minor injuries he thanked her that day vowed to protect her to the death; ever since then he became close to Barbara learning a few tricks on computers. Although he would never be good as Barbara, but he knew how to hack into some systems and then some. When Tim proposed to Barbara, he spoke to Tim about not hurting her or they wouldn't be able to find the body. Damien considers Tim and Barbara older siblings although he wishes to beat up Jason and Dick time from time, but he loved his family, no matter how crazy they were. He will never admit that to the them except for Barbara but after spending almost his whole childhood life with the League he felt remorseful, patient, and gentle at times. Especially after what Bruce gave him a dog on his birthday a few months ago, a brown Great Dane, his dad named him Ace, it suits him.
Damien's attitude and even his personality changed him overnight, Bruce noticed that there was a light in his eyes, innocence. Damien acting like a regular kid when he was playing with Ace, he witnessed his own son laughing and jumping, like a regular boy. Although Damien went to a monastery in the Himalayas, Damien learned balance and learning a few things about himself. It helped but it was Barbara and Ace that helped him gain his humanity. Bruce watched them all afternoon, Alfred handing him a tissue, although Bruce will never let a tear escape.
"Sir, I have never watched you being emotional. Not even after Talia's death."
"Talia was his mother, but she was a monster to her own son, using his trust as bait to kill him. Damien deserves some normalcy for his own good." Bruce said, he leaned onto one of the pillars. "He still trains with his sword but don't think I haven't noticed that he changed his weapons to nunchaku, something that the League would most likely disapprove but I am proud of him."
"Master Damien changed with the help of the monastery and not to mention Miss Gordon and Ace." Alfred mentions as he sets down a cup of tea.
"I hope it stays that way; I have never seen Damien this way. It makes me feel happy." Bruce takes a sip and continues to watch Damien playing with Ace, finally feeling a sense of peace and success of being a father.
"Don't worry, Barbara, this is bickering I don't make fun of children, yet." Damien smiled at her, it was one of his special smiles that he only gives to her and Ace.
"Cute of you to say, little bird." She smiled and headed to her station but only to stop at the medical station.
"Hey, beautiful, you should have told me that you were heading here. We could have picked you up." Tim says as he took off his mask and kneeled to Barbara, he was always so worried about her. "Are you ok? You didn't have any trouble-"
"Tim, please. I was already close by and Alfred sent a car to get me. You really need to stop being so overprotective; it'll hurt your street rep." She joked lightly, she places a hand on his cheek comforting him which made Tim relaxed a bit, causing his eyes to flutter. Even though they are a couple, they don't like to show PDA but when they do you can see the love between them, well anyone who's not blind to it.
"How come you don't show the same caring attitude to the rest of us?" Red Hood intervened causing the couple to sigh in annoyance.
"Because you, SOB, she has more pretty and brains to scrape off unlike you." Tim said darkly, which causes Dick to snort and Damien to smile a bit.
"You love me, and you know it, you jerk." While loading his gun and double checking his gun once more, before taking a sip of tea.
"Master Bruce, you haven't touched your tea, something wrong? You have been awfully quiet." Alfred mentioned causing everyone to stop their bickering and to focus on their mentor.
"Joker targeted Miss Smoak, it's too random but is it? I feel that something is missing here." Bruce mentioned he was focus on the files of Felicity Smoak.
Felicity Smoak graduated early from the esteemed Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the top of her class with a dual master's degree, Master of Science in Cyber Security and Computer Sciences, only at the age of 19.
Impressive. Bruce thought, she reminded of him of Barbara Gordon.
"Wait that Felicity Smoak? I know her, she helped me with a certain piece of technology." Barbara says that caused everyone to stare at her. "I keep hearing about a CEO being missing but I didn't realize it was Felicity, we have to find her, I'm surprised that Green Arrow has-" Her cell phone rang it wasn't her real one but Oracle's.
"Speak of the devil." She mutters but answers her phone. "Green Arrow, he took her, right?" She breaks a bit but clears her throat.
"Of course, I will keep you updated, please say my regards to the team." She hangs up.
"How? Do they know about us?" Jason asked being close to Barbara's personal space, but it was more of Red Hood's integration before she can respond Tim interrupts.
"Don't you speak to her that way unless you want drink your meals from now on."
"Or use your legs." Damien threatened darkly, Barbara rolled her eyes, Bruce was about to intrude but Alfred beat him to it.
"Stand down all of you, or I will teach you some manners that you won't forget." Alfred threatened which caused the men and child to back down and be afraid of the elder man. "Miss Gordon, please continue, I apologize for the intrusion."
"Anyway, Felicity and I go way back, it was when we both worked in a diner to pay for college, but then we realized we were both in the vigilante business. Apparently after having stable jobs and getting enough sleep we decided to be part of someone's good deeds." Bruce felt guilty, she noticed before adding quickly, "Which I would do it again because it was MY choice and Felicity's. Well we started asking each other some favors and advice but we both knew it was for our vigilante work, Felicity works with the Green Arrow and vice versa she knows that I work with Batman. She never asked about your identity neither did I, although she knows your Batman and I know who the Green Arrow is. I trust Felicity she is like a sister to me and she will NEVER put anyone's identity in jeopardy, same trust goes to me. We both talk and when she found out about my incident with Joker. Who did you think sent you that location? Felicity was hell-bent looking for the Joker she did all that from a plane to Gotham to see me in the hospital. I will never forget that."
Two Years Ago, Gotham General Hospital 11:59:00 PM
"You know a phone call would've been suffice." Barbara commented, Felicity gave her a glare but handed her favorite comfort food. "But this is nice too, you bring me a delicious Big Belly Burger, this is the way to go."
"With a black and white milkshake." Felicity added before taking a sip of her soda. "I'm sure a burger beats hospital food anytime. I wanted to see if you're okay which I know it sounds stupid but are you okay?"
"Joker took something from me my ability to walk and something else, but I am too ashamed to admit it." Barbara held back tears.
"Hey, you don't have to tell me if you're not ready. You shouldn't be ashamed of yourself either, Joker took two things from you, but he didn't take the most important thing from me."
"What?" Barbara asked vulnerably, letting a tear drop. Felicity gave her a warm smile but waited patiently until she looked up to her.
"You. Barbara Gordon you are the most important person in my life." Felicity gave her friend a hug. Barbara cried, holding onto her friend, smelling her scent she smells of apple and something citrus that reminded Barbara of fall. Its subtle but doesn't draw too much attention instead it's something more comforting. Which she didn't realize how much she needed until right now. After what seemed like hours she let go of her friend, chuckling which caused Felicity to turn her head to her.
"Remember how we met?"
Felicity snorted, "Of course how can I forget? We were arguing in the damn classroom before the professor told us to workout our theories outside of class. What an idiot, she didn't care about our hypothesis until we both won a trophy for our project."
"Then I told her to eff off during the speech since she didn't want to help us or even remotely encouraged us. We did it ourselves, girly, we made a pact that night too. We stick together no matter what and we will get through this, right?" She looked at Felicity, she smiled beamy at her and nodded.
"Yes, that's the spirit, who else can I go complain about Oliver or you to me about Bruce? I swear billionaire's these days." Felicity shook her head, as she reached for some tissues, she handed one to Barbara wiping tears and snot. "C'mon our food is already cold let's not eat it too cold now."
Felicity sat on her bed talking to each other about nothing but everything until Jim Gordon came into the room.
"Oh, hi Felicity I didn't know you were here. I can come back later if you want, Babs."
"Not at all, Detective Gordon, we were just having some burgers, luckily we still have some. Why don't you grab one and we can catch up?" Felicity mentioned.
"Felicity, how many times should I tell you to call me Jim. Hell, you're practically family to us. Are you sure you should be eating this?" Gordon asked worriedly.
"C'mon dad, burgers beat hospital food anytime, although I wouldn't wish it in the world but if you were in the hospital, I'll sneak in food for you, too." Barbara mentioned, "Now come and get burger, I know you were dealing with a lot these past few days, let's just enjoy tonight, with no killer clowns nor men in tights."
Jim froze and it caught the ladies' attention immediately, it caught him off guard, but he knew.
"It's okay, dad, Felicity knows who I work with."
"Don't worry, Jim. I work with a certain vigilante as well, just not Batman. Time from time I do help Barbara and vice versa."
"I swear you two will give me heart attack, but it doesn't surprise me that two beautiful and smart women will join a good cause." Jim cleared his throat feeling the familiar heaviness in his throat he cleared his throat before continuing, "I know Bruce Wayne is the Batman and Oliver Queen is the Arrow."
Felicity felt shocked but it didn't surprise her that much, Bruce and Oliver were alike in similar ways from the way Barbara talks about him.
"You don't approve?" Felicity raised her eyebrows at him.
"I don't agree him having a body count, but he stopped and I'm assuming it's because of you." He pushed but reluctant, "I shouldn't compare but Starling City was pretty bad mostly for the Glades, and I understand sometimes you have to show violence with violence. I don't agree with his methods, but it did show some results. I guess I wouldn't know how to deal with someone who is a judge, jury, and executioner."
"Trust me, Jim, he does things differently, but that doesn't change his actions. He became someone else, something else; I also threatened him if he goes back to killing, I walk. Replacing me is like putting off fire with gasoline."
"As long as you are careful and safe, then who am I to judge. Let's eat, I haven't eaten all day."
They ate, talked, laughed, until Tim came in to visit. They greeted each other before Felicity decided it was time to go back home. She hugged Jim and Tim, before hugging her best friend inhaling her scent. Although she smells of hospital, Barbara still manages to smell like sweet rosewater, she promised she will visit soon, and she will call once she arrives home. Felicity closed the door behind her, walking towards the exit, meanwhile Bruce Wayne saw her from afar thinking how beautiful the young woman looked, no matter how tired she looked. He ignored it and walked towards Barbara's door.
"I respect Miss Smoak, already. She was there when Barbara needed her." Damien said, causing Barbara to snap back to reality.
"Then you'll love her especially since she has been working on how to give me the ability to walk again. It's been a year since she proposed a project for us to work on it, but we have been testing om it for patients, of course, it's with their consent some of them were successful but some of them weren't. The human body is complexed, we have other people helping us out."
"I'm guessing Tim knows about it?" Dick asked gently but firm, crossing his arms.
"Of course, I know about Felicity and I know about their project, we wanted to keep it to ourselves until it is successful but so far it seems like every time, we step forward, we're ten steps backwards." Tim sighs, rubbing his face tiredly, although they're happy together it has taken its toll to find a way to make Barbara walk again.
"Who is the Green Arrow?" Jason asked, "Do we know him?"
"Oliver Queen, is the Hood, Arrow, and Green Arrow." Barbara turned to him, surprised and unsurprised at the same time.
"What is it with billionaires wanting to wear tights and fight crime?" Dick sighed loudly and shaking his head.
"I don't wear tights. That's how Joker targeted Felicity, he must have figured out that Barbara and Felicity are close, not to mention she is trying to better the world. Any word from the streets?" Bruce asked.
"I got a lead about Joker, Dick, interrogated him before knocking him out and in jail." Tim took out a bullet-shot phone.
"Will do us the favor of hack into the phone, I'm not that advance like you. Anyway, it sounded like they're moving something or someone fast."
"Well at least you didn't give me lame excuse like you spilling a latte on it in a bad coffee shop." Barbara remarked smartly.
"What?" Jason asked, everyone confused with her inside joke.
"Never mind don't worry about it, let me just work in a bit. Give me few minutes and I'll tell you what's up." Barbara wheeled to the Bat computer already working her magic.
"Here you go, Miss Gordon, a cup of tea this one is decaffeinated, it helps your immune system, and it will also help you concentrate."
"Thank you, Alfred, you are a true gentleman. Want to give me a hand? You have always been good at coding and I don't mind having some help. Two heads are better than one is what I always say." Barbara sips on her tea and hummed feeling the warmth and comfort she needed.
Felicity, I'm coming for you, just hang in there a bit more. Barbara thought to herself.
"Of course, Miss Gordon, I'll be more than happy to assist." Alfred takes a seat beside her and immediately they both went to work.
"Meanwhile Oracle and Alfred, work on the code, suit up everyone, we need ever muscle now. Tim and Dick finish cleaning up your wounds, we need you in the field."
Everyone listened to Bruce's orders, he walked towards his Batsuit, since Barbara got shot, he upgraded his suit, it is a bit more heaver, but Bruce always trained in his suit, so he got used to it.
Putting on his cowl, is a daily reminder how far he has come along, his parents were taken from him and now he's preventing that.
"Hey guys, Alfred and I cracked it listen to this!" Barbara cut off Bruce's thinking, everyone started circling Oracle. "Not only this phone we can see messages and emails, but it also acts like a radio."
"God, I'm glad I work for Joker, I can hear the screams from out here." One of Joker's thugs said.
"Agreed but I try not to think about it, remember we are for the money, not to mention we have to guard the place. Two-Face and the little guy, Penguin, should be coming soon, I hear they have a plan." Another Thug conversed it.
"Can you locate the signal where its coming from?" Damien asked.
"We are working on it but there is something blocking the signal, probably another code or blocker, we'll find out soon." Barbara typed while Alfred listened on the headphones, this wasn't done by an amateur, a code requiring listening skills.
"Why did it have to be a cave? A cave in Gotham, why not one of those abandoned warehouses especially the one in the pier?" A thug asked.
"Barbara." Bruce started.
"Already on it." Barbara typed quickly, "And hello my pretty, I found the cave, I see multiple hostiles but none that you can't managed. Already sent out the coordinates to the Batmobile."
"Let's go, Damien and Dick come with me on the Batmobile, Jason and Tim follow us in the Batcycle."
The smell of burning fuel filled the air around the cave, leaving Barbara feeling comforted by Alfred softly placing a hand on her shoulder, while wiping the tears from her face.
Felicity is coming home. She thought to herself, she couldn't wait to hug her friend this time.
Somewhere in Gotham Cave 10:24:52 PM
"I hope my new equipment, don't make me go blind." Jason mentioned as he took down a guard. "I trust your fiancé, but my eyes are still sensitive and do I hate being careful." He dodged a punch from a goon while Tim slams down on him, knocking him out.
"Those are night vision googles, not her fault when you walked out with night vision googles in the sun." Tim rolled his eyes, taking cover from a sniper.
"Not that you ass, the last time I was in a dark location, Joker had me locked in." He said shooting the sniper, with a non-lethal bullet.
"I'm sorry I didn-" Tim started feeling apologetic and like an ass.
"Water under the bridge, don't worry about it. C'mon let's finish clearing up the back, Robin, should be in the control room right about now."
"Cameras disabled and doors are now unlocked, I thought these types of missions have less talking and more beating up." Damien commented. "Anyway, Chatty Cathies, lets get moving I got multiple hostiles with guns, gonna need some help sooner or later. Besides, I still have a record to beat."
He threw a smoke bomb in on of the rooms, taking down some thug, he heard the door open seeing Red Hood and Red Robin, clearing the room with him.
"Did you find her, yet?" Barbara asked in the comms, Batman put some explosive gel on a wall before igniting it.
"Not yet, Oracle. I have Robin, Red Robin, and Red Hood clearing out the back part, Nightwing and I just cleared the front. We need to weaken both sides before going to the middle. We'll get her, Nightwing and I are about to engage can you upload the map of the cave, send it to the others."
"Alright, I just send the map to the team." Oracle logged off from the comms, Batman was studying the map before continuing.
"How many hostiles?"
"Enough with guns, there are some weak walls I can use the gel to get them confused they'll drop their guns and we can finish them off." He explained already taking out his gel gun.
"I'll go in the grates and wait for your signal." He said, he was in the grate he walked towards the middle of the room underneath, unknowingly to the thugs, he was forced to listen to their chats.
"I hear that the blonde bitch was getting tortured, I saw Two-Face and Penguin walk in. We should be expecting more men anytime soon."
"Didn't you hear? Batman and his posse came through!" A thug walks in with numerous of men.
"Batman, there's too many of them." Nightwing whispered.
"I know, let them come in and I'll tell you when."
"Oracle, status report on the others."
"They should be there in now."
"NOW!"
The explosion caused the guards to drop their weapons, some of them knocking out immediately. The next five minutes seemed like a tango to the Bat Family, you see how well they fight, it was almost a dance, them some of them teamed up to beat them unconsciously.
Batman interrogated one of the thugs, the whole team almost felt sorry. The keyword was almost.
"WHERE IS SHE?" Batman yelled, he lifted the thug, up making him to look at Batman's angry face.
"I got nothing to say to you, Batman." He swung him over his shoulder and twisted his arm, his foot on his back, the thug feeling the weight of him.
"TALK! Or I'll break every bone in your body."
"Ok, alright. They're behind that hidden door where the generator is, but you won't be able to pass."
"Why?" The thug didn't answer. Red Robin kneeled to the thug.
"You should answer him he doesn't like to keep waiting."
"Don't make us crack your skull and look for the answers inside." Red Hood added aiming the gun to his head.
"Ok, okay, the door is password protected and soundproof, from what I know it's the only way in and out." He breathed out in pain, but Batman felt that he is holding back something else which Nightwing noticed he took out his escrima sticks and pointed to the thug.
"You know 50,000 volts hurts to the head?" He said as he put the sticks together creating spark causing the thug to cry out in pain and terror.
"REMEMBER SOMETHING ELSE?" Batman exclaimed.
"Ok, ok! I'll tell you, there are bombs around the cave, where they're holding the girl. I do not know who has the trigger. Please that's all I know!"
"If you're lying, I'll break the other one." Batman snarled.
"The other wh-AHH!" Batman twisted his wristed and you can hear the bones snapped. Damien knocked out him out.
"Oracle, Joker placed bombs in the cave we need I'm scanning the hidden door, I need the layout and type of bombs we're dealing with."
"Will you be okay, Red Hood? If you need to leave, we understand." Bruce asked while Tim put a supporting hand on his shoulder.
"Yes, this is more than personal, I don't want another person go through that." He said loading his guns.
"Alright it so I see multiple bombs but there is a main one its actually right in the front, if that bomb doesn't go off, it won't cause the other bombs to go off. These bombs aren't explosive, they're filled with gas. I'll guide Red Robin, he has more experience on bombs, no offense. I'll walk it through with you."
"Alright I want Red Hood and Damien to stay close to him once reinforcements come in. Nightwing and I will deal with the rest. Barbara call GCPD tell them to bring the cavalry. Have Alfred call Batplane; We may need it."
Somewhere in the Cave 11:14:10 PM
Felicity was going in and out of conscious for a while now, she was having a difficulty breathing and standing, her leg throbbed so much she can't tell if her foot or leg is broken. She has endured so much torture for the past weeks, hours, or days, she couldn't tell the date. She felt so dehydrated the only thing she tastes is her own blood, how much she wanted water, she didn't dare drink what the cave offered. Her wounds were semi treated by Joker and by treated she means that he threw a huge bucket of disinfecting alcohol over her head and body. Grateful that the wounds won't get infected it still hurt like a bitch; she screamed in agony when it landed in her sensitive wounds such as her eyes and mouth. She was beaten again until she was unconscious, she woke up the alcohol already dry, it still hurts but it's better than an infection. She drifted back to being unconscious, until cold water slapped her in the face, she woke up in shock and see herself surrounded by 3 people.
"I have always like good, smart, blondes, especially someone as pretty as her." A short man commented, she noticed that he had glass bottle intact in his eye, wearing a big coat and a suit like he's out in a casino while holding an umbrella.
"I do, too, except blondes aren't my type, though I can make exceptions." A tall man answered smoking a cigar; this was man on one side he seems handsome, but he is disfigured and scarred on the other side. Same goes for his suit, she has never seen it like it, one side normal and the other burned, plus she can tell he has weapons, Dig taught her how to spot them.
She's not in Star City anymore, because these criminals run in only one place, Gotham, to them it's like ordering a burger without fries.
"Wakey!" Joker laughed. "Oh, how much fun I had with her, I enjoyed listening to her screams and shouts. You should've been here; you would have enjoyed it." Joker laughing manically to them, Harvey finishing up his cigar flicking it to the ground and stepping on it.
"You said we can do whatever we want to her." He blew the smoke to her face, causing her eyes to burn and tear up and violently coughing.
"Absolutely, you too, Cobblepot." She heard a phone ring; Joker took out his phone.
Cobblepot smiled wickedly at her and placed his hand on her stomach before snaking up to her shoulders. Felicity almost threw up in her mouth, she would rather die than to be subject to this, so she did the one thing that Dig taught her. She headbutted Cobblepot, in one last desperate defense attempt.
"Son of a bitch! She broke my nose!" Cobblepot whined causing him to smack her so hard she saw bits of black. Harvey laughed at him.
"She has a bit of a fight I like that."
"Then you're going to love me."
She saw a dark figure take down Harvey knocking him to the ground. Then she heard something like a boomerang being thrown, she felt the shackles break, she fell to the ground. She groaned in pain and tried to stand up but couldn't due to her feeling her strength leave her, whatever last strength she had she crawled instead trying to feel the around the cave. It was difficult since she didn't have her glasses, one of her eyes is swollen, and the lamp of light broke during the rumble. She heard hard punches, curse words, and then some other grunts, but she didn't want to find out what else is planned.
"Ahh Bats! I thought you would never come but you came in too soon, no matter!" Then there was an explosion.
"Sorry, Bats I would love to stay and chat, but I have another appointment to keep!" Joker laughed manically.
"Batman…there?" Felicity heard a familiar voice but couldn't focus her ears are ringing so loud.
"…Joker…explosion…bombs all over…trapped…" That's all she heard, Felicity was frightened and was dragging herself away from whomever it was.
"Red…Nightwing…track…them…"
She felt her body being turned by someone, not being able to see who it is. She cried out in pain but mostly in fright. Felicity doesn't have enough strength to fight off, she just threw her hands in defense, but she couldn't help but sob.
"No! Please don't hurt me! I can't take another beating, please don't!" Felicity sobbed loudly and begged someone to help her.
"Miss Smoak, it's Batman, I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to save you. We have a mutual friend." Batman told her gently, Felicity stopped fighting and felt relief for the first time in a while.
"Oracle." She whispered.
"Yes, speaking about her. Now Oracle. Miss Smoak, I know you can't walk but I'm going to carry you."
Felicity nodded and braced herself for the pain, but he was gentle with her, which was weird since she heard stories that Batman was rough. Yet again she's not a criminal doing unspeakable things.
"Batplane, engaged. Engaging." A computer voice filled the room. Another explosion but this time it was over her head, Batman used his body to protect her from the falling debris. He grabbed his grappling gun and shot them way out of the plane. Felicity saw the sky for the very first time, it was cloudy, but you can still see the moon for a bit and smells like it's about to rain. Then she felt heat and another explosion beneath her she looked down to see the cave she was held captive exploded, it felt like time went by slow. Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, was carrying her to safety more like swinging to safety. Once inside he placed her gently in the seat buckling for her, Bruce took another quick glance at her and couldn't help but think.
She's so beautiful and tiny. He felt enraged that these men were going to beat less than a 100-pound girl with no combat training, to a bloody pulp.
"Mr. Wayne, or Batman, not sure what to call you, I'm sorry to meet you in these circumstances but I'm Felicity Smoak. Of course, you already know that since you called me out in my name, please call me Felicity. Afterall, you saved my life, not that-" She coughed up more blood up before she can continue her babble.
"Save your strength, I'm taking you to the hospital, Barbara will be there." Bruce quickly adding, "It's nice to meet you as well, Felicity, call me Bruce, after all you saved mine."
Before Felicity can inquire more, she finally slipped into a peaceful darkness finally knowingly she is safe, causing Bruce to fly faster to Gotham General Hospital.
