Chapter 4
Recognize it? Don't own it. I bet you can guess what I'm going to say next- if you don't recognize it and I haven't explained, ask me!
Oliver was standing in Felicity's apartment. He was sure something had happened to her. When he had arrived to check on her the door had been opened, and her phone was on the floor, shattered. When he picked it up, the glass had sliced his hand and he dropped it. He couldn't use it after that, it had been too damaged. So, a week later, when he was investigating Felicity's disappearance, he heard sudden footsteps outside the door. He heard Felicity laugh.
"Wally, your shirt's on fire!" He heard her muffled voice say from outside the door. She entered with a red haired boy that had a scorch mark on his shirt. She froze when she saw Oliver. "O-oliver!" she stammered, seeing him. "Why are you in my apartment?"
"Where have you been!" he demanded. "You have been missing, and your apartment looked like it was broken into!"
"I called in sick. I was visiting my boyfriend, we haven't been in contact for years due to a few mishaps, but I found him and visited him. He was kicked out of his apartment in California, so he's staying here with me." Felicity responded without blinking an eye. Oliver knew it had to be a lie⦠but Felicity was a horrible liar, and she was passing his test without anything alerting him to it. She gestured to the guy with her. "Oliver , meet Wally Quick. Wally, meet Oliver Queen." The guy, Wally, smiled, then stepped forward to shake his hand.
"Nice to meet you." He replied. Wally looked at Felicity. "Do you need help cleaning this up Felicity?" he asked her. She nodded tightly and turned to Oliver.
"Thank you for worrying Oliver, but you can call off Diggle. I'll be there for our night time activities."
Oliver entered his hideout. "Felicity turned up at her apartment with a boyfriend named Wally Quick. She brushed off my concern like nothing happened and told me she'd be here tonight." Roy spit out the water he was drinking.
"What was her boyfriend's name?" he asked.
"Wally Quick, why?" Roy just shook his head and murmured something about telling BC. "Diggle, find anything you can on the kid. Find out where Felicity has been the past few weeks."
"She's been in California. She found her boyfriend that she lost contact with, and brought him here when he was kicked out of his apartment." Roy said, looking at Oliver. "She told me, and said she would text you about it. I guess she forgot." Roy stood up. "How about we patrol while we wait. We can do that without Felicity's help, and I need to make a stop somewhere." Oliver knew Roy was avoiding the subject.
"I'm going to listen to Felicity at her home, I bugged it." Oliver responded. "Something is still off."
"Ok, I'll be back in an hour." Roy said, heading out the door.
Artemis sat with Wally, talking about what had happened while he was gone. "So, my sister came back. You should have seen my face, I was so-" Artemis was cut off by the phone. She sighed. "Yes?" she said.
"This is Roy, Oliver bugged your house and will be listening in tonight. I've got to go, I need to talk to Dinah. Be careful!" Roy hung up. Wally opened his mouth to talk, but Artemis put a finger to her lips. She grabbed a napkin, and wrote 'Oliver bugged the place. Help me find the bugs, but make it look like we're talking about things that aren't suspicious. Talk about the trip here.' Wally nodded, and started to look for bugs.
"The trip here was way too long. I wish I had access to Oliver's private jet, I'd of been back here so much sooner." Artemis started, while joining Wally in his search. She found one and showed Wally where it was.
"He has a private jet?" Wally exclaimed, actually surprised.
"He's Oliver Queen Wally. He has a private mansion. I mean, he has a mansion that is private because his sister moved and his mom died. I'm going to stop talking now." Artemis ended, realizing that Oliver wouldn't want her sharing private information like that. "I'm going to step out to call someone really quick, do you want me to call a take out place too?" she asked, thinking that they would have to order takeout from a lot of resturants in order to feed Wally.
"Yeah, how about pizza?" he asked, finding another bug. "I know just the place." Artemis said, closing the door behind her. She called Roy.
"Yeah?" he answered, knowing it was her.
"How many bugs did he use?"
"Remember when he mapped up our apartments earlier, to see where to place bugs if needed?"
"He did that?"
"It's Oliver. He has a plan for everything."
"Can you send me a copy?"
"Working on it now."
"Thank you! Tell Dinah hi for me!" Artemis said ending the conversation. She got a text on her phone. She entered her apartment and showed Wally the picture. He sped around and made them all go out at once, so it looked like a malfunction, instead of foul play. He sighed.
"Is Oliver that suspicious?"
"Yeah, it's kind of his thing. Spy and know every dirty secret first, ask questions later." Artemis replied. She handed Wally the order out form for the local pizza parlors. "I wish I could eat with you, but I told Oliver that I would help him find the latest person that has failed this city. How about we head down to his lair at midnight, meet up with Roy and Laurel, spar a bit?"
"Sure, I'll look forward to it." he responded picking up the phone.
Dinah was sitting in her empty office, when she whirled around with a gun and pointed it at Roy, who had just snuck in. She put it down with a sigh. "Next time please call me ahead of time. I don't want to shoot you, you'd have a hard time explaining that to Oliver."
"I'm just giving you a heads up, Wally's living with Artemis under the name Wally Quick. The cover story is that he's her boyfriend and she lost touch with him years ago. She tracked him down in California, where he got kicked out of his apartment. He's living here with her now."
Dinah chuckled at Wally's last name. "She let him pick his name?"
"I know, surprised me too." He responded with a grin. His phone beeped and he checked it. "Hey, want to meet at the Arrow Cave, midnight? Wally's coming."
"I'll be there." She responded with a smile.
