Oliver wasn't exactly sure how they got there but he for sure knew that this was probably going to end very badly. He also knew that he wasn't going to let Felicity convince him that Team Arrow needed a team building exercise.
"Remind me again why we are here?" Oliver asks Felicity as they and the rest of the team sit down and listen to some random bored teenager explain the rules of laser tag to them. Felicity rolls her eyes as she looks over at Oliver exasperated, she had explained this to him multiple times, but he apparently never seemed to listen to her.
"Because laser tag is fun and you mister need to learn to have some fun, you are always so gloom and doom and frankly it's getting depressing. Plus it's a good team building exercise." Felicity smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek as the teen ushered them into a blacklight room that looked that it jumped straight out of the nineties. Felicity jumped up and went into the room with the rest of the team at her sides, she was talking with Dinah quietly plotting against the boys and how they were totally going to win this battle.
"Alright how are we going to do this?" Dig asks as they stand in the middle of the room as if it were a showdown.
"Guys vs. Girls obviously." Felicity said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world making Oliver chuckle and shake his head finally getting into this whole competitive streak that was going on between all of them.
"Well that's a bit cocky don't you think? Thinking that you both can beat the three of us?" Oliver takes a step forward so that he was in line with Dig and Rene with a cocky grin on his face and crossing his arms across his chest.
Oh, it was on now, Oliver thought he was so cocky, but Felicity was about to show him not to misjudge her for being an easy defeat. She narrowed her eyes and took the same stance as Oliver next to Dinah who also took the same stance.
"I think you are the one being cocky here Oliver, don't be surprised when you all get your asses handed to you by us." Dinah says and gives her best 'I am a woman hear me roar' face that she could conjure.
"No offense blondie but you have barely any tactical training, your high IQ can only get you so far here." The second it came out of his mouth he knew that it was a mistake, Felicity took two slow steps towards him and got in his face with her best war face on.
"You are gonna regret saying that when we beat you so badly that you are going to ever wonder how you make it out in the field." Rene didn't think that Felicity had it in her to be this scary, he visibly gulped and looked over to Oliver with a look in his eyes that was asking him to get her to back down. Oliver just shook his head with a proud smile on his face, Felicity could definitely be scary when she wanted to be, and he wasn't going to lie and say that this wasn't a major turn on.
"What are the stakes?" Dig asks looking between them, they weren't just going to play for bragging rights, after all of this smack talk there needed to be some sort of incentive behind this.
"The losers have to buy lunch for the next week?" Dinah offers but Felicity shakes her head as she backed down from Rene and stood back in line with Dinah, she had a better idea.
"The losers have to not only have to admit their defeat they have to wear loser t-shirts to the precinct every day for a week so that everyone knows that they lost." Felicity smiles to herself feeling pretty triumphant for coming up with the idea.
"You are that confident that you are going to win huh?" Oliver asked both Dinah and Felicity, he knew Felicity too well. She hated to admit defeat, she was a very competitive person, so she must be fairly confident that she was going to win if she was willing to go to these lengths.
"Yup. Now let's get this show on the road, shall we?" Felicity holds her hand out for Oliver to shake so as to solidify this deal that they have made. Oliver took it triumphantly knowing that there was no way that him and the guys were going to lose to Felicity and Dinah. Dinah may be the police captain, but she definitely cannot carry both of them on her back, there was no way.
"Let's go." Oliver said and both teams split up and put on their prospective team vests ready to go into battle. Felicity put her vest on and walked over to Dinah with a mischievous smile on her face and Dinah knew that the other woman had a plan up her sleeve.
"Okay, you are going to have to explain to me why you are so confident that we are going to win because there is no way in hell that I am walking around the precinct for a week wearing a loser t-shirt." She was talking in hushed tones wanting to know what this plan of hers was.
"Just let me handle Oliver, we both know that Rene isn't going to be the hardest to take down, just focus on Digg and be on the offensive."
"How exactly do you expect to take Oliver down? I mean you aren't exactly capable of physically taking him down." Dinah was curious about how exactly she thought that she was going to take the guy down.
"My charm obviously." Felicity chuckled and winked at Dinah causing her to shake her head and chuckle as the door opened and the five of them ran onto the 'battle ground' for a lack of a better term. They had a few minutes before the game started up and her and Dinah ran to their area and found good hiding places until the game started and they got to take them down.
They were all right, Felicity wasn't exactly the most physically capable of taking the guys down, but she was insanely smart, and she knew that she could do it by just putting her mind to it.
The horn blared and the game had begun, they all stayed dormant for a few seconds wondering what the others were going to do. The boys made the first defensive move on the girls, but they were already ahead of them knowing that they would probably do such a thing. The girls were ready and stood up from their hiding spots and shot all three of them before the boys even got the chance to defend themselves. All three of them looked around surprised that they were all just shot and compromised by the two of them without any of them even knowing.
Felicity had learned how to be light on her feet through the years of being with Oliver and started to make her way through the course and made it to their 'base of operations' as she was calling it in her head. She felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up and she knew that someone was following her, she kept her head on a swivel and didn't see anyone, but she knew without a doubt that someone was indeed following her around and she knew that it wasn't Dinah considering she just heard Rene shouting something about something not being fair that she took him down and heard her laugh.
She knew that it had to be Oliver, there was no way that it was Digg, he was good at what he did, but he always made some sort of tiny little noise. Oliver on the other hand was like a ninja and made absolutely no noise whatsoever when he moved around, something that she absolutely hated.
She stayed still for a few moments crouching down behind a giant box thinking to herself what Oliver would do, she prided herself on knowing Oliver better then he knew himself most days especially when it came to battle strategy. She had been watching him for nearly seven years now and could nearly predict what he was going to do which she was going to use to her advantage. She took a deep breath and thought about it, he would probably try and sneak up on her from behind and scare her and shoot her.
She quickly stood up and turned around, her laser gun raised at the ready to shoot but suddenly she felt a vibration and looked down to see that her vest wasn't lit up which meant that someone had shot her. She whipped around to see Oliver smiling and sent a wink her way, she opened her mouth to yell at him when her vest came back to life and he raised his gun to shoot her again, but she quickly dodged it and ran and hid again. Alright, so Oliver obviously knew what she was thinking and was smart enough to do what she wasn't expecting so she would just have to do the same with him. She would have to go on the defensive and take him out before he knew what hit him.
She raised up to see if she could see him and she saw that he was defending their 'base of operations' so that neither her or Dinah had a chance to get inside and shoot it and get more points. She just needed to get close enough and the right angle in order to shoot it out but first she needed to take Oliver out which was going to be a challenge within itself.
The only thing that she had on her side was probably trying to seduce Oliver and then shooting it when he wasn't looking. She knew that she wasn't going to be able to sneak up on him but maybe letting him shoot her again in order to take out that giant green shiny thing worth 25,000 points might be worth the one hundred points he would get from shooting her.
She stood up and brazenly strolled towards the opening of the room in order to shoot it out, but Oliver of course saw what she was trying to do and shot her before stepping in front of the opening and blocking her from getting inside.
"Well that wasn't the best move, I definitely didn't expect you to just go for it." Oliver says with a cocky smile on his face like he knows somehow that he is going to win this and that just makes her want to beat the boys even more. An idea suddenly popped into her head and she knew that it would work if she acted fast.
Felicity suddenly pushed Oliver up against the opening to the room and kissed him like their lives depended on it, she pushed her hips into his and heard him moan and as soon as his arms wrapped around her waist she smiled knowing that she had him distracted enough to shoot out their 'base of operations.' Felicity opened one eye as she continued kissing him threading her free hand into his hair to distract him even further, she aimed her laser gun making the quick calculations in her head so that she would make it because she would only have one chance to take this out before the game ended. She took the shot and she heard over the PA system a menacing voice suddenly say that the green team was under attack, Oliver quickly pulled back from the kiss and looked into the room and then back at her with a completely shocked face. He couldn't believe that that actually just happened, she tricked him and used herself against him to get passed him.
Felicity giggled happy with herself for actually pulling that off and getting that shot right, she was Felicity Smoak after all her math was never wrong. She winked and then shot his vest before running away before he realized what just happened, he looked around and just stood there shocked that Felicity really just stood there and kissed him like that and used it to distract him. He had to admit that he definitely didn't expect that coming from her, but he should have considering she did stuff like at home all the time, whenever she wanted something, she would distract him when kisses until he finally caved.
Felicity laughed the entire time she ran back to help Dinah take out the other boys which in fact they both did and they both made sure that they never got the chance to take their base like how Felicity took the boys. After a few minutes the horn blared for the second time signaling that the game was now over, they all made their way out of the battle ground and hung up their vests. They looked at the board and Dinah and Felicity cheered in victory as they saw that they won by a landslide considering Felicity took out their base of operations.
"YES!" Felicity threw her fist into the air and her and Dinah shared a high five with triumphant smiles on their faces.
"There is absolutely no way that counts, I want a rematch." Oliver was sulking and Felicity rolled her eyes and crossed her arms across her chest and glared at Oliver.
"Why because you are angry that I distracted you enough to get passed you? Sorry honey but you are just going to have to live with the fact that I outsmarted you in your own field." Felicity giggled and patted his cheek lightly knowing that she was going to tease him endlessly for at least a week, the other three didn't even try to hold back their laughs and shook their heads. Rene loved it when Felicity would show Oliver up and put him in his place it really made his whole day when things like that happened.
"Don't you boys need to get something off of your chest?" Dinah asked looking between all three of them knowing that they needed to admit their defeat to the two of them. Felicity stepped up next to Dinah waiting for them to admit their defeat.
"You guys won. You defeated us, you are better." Digg says with a look on his face that looked like he would rather be dealing the ninth circle than saying those words. Felicity smiled and looked to Dinah with a triumphant smile on her face feeling good about herself.
Oliver rolled his eyes and huffed, and Felicity wouldn't lie he looked absolutely adorable, like a little boy when his mom didn't let him get his way. She smiled and stepped towards him as they made their way towards the door, Felicity wrapped her arms around his waist as they continued to walk into the arcade part of the building. He relaxed and wrapped an arm around her shoulder and kissed her temple making her smile, she loved this. She loved feeling so safe in his arms and knowing that nothing would ever happen to her as long as she was with him.
Oliver wouldn't admit it to anyone, but he did have a really good time and was glad that they decided to do this as a team building exercise even though they really didn't need one. He loved that they could be this familiar with each other and have fun with each other instead of being completely serious all of the time.
"Alright I'm starving, who wants to get some Big Belly Burger?" Felicity offers up and they all nod and walk outside and make their way towards Big Belly Burger while making fun of Oliver for letting Felicity distracting him.
The boys reluctantly wore their T-shirts to the precinct for a week eliciting all sorts of questions from all of the uniforms which led to Oliver having to explain that he let Felicity get the best of him, but he had fun with it. He didn't take it too seriously and just let everyone tease him, he took it with a grain of rice.
It wasn't so bad after all, every time he told the story Felicity got a giant triumphant smile on her face and that made it all completely worth it.
