AN: I know this story is a little bit confusing right now, but I will try my best to make it easy to understand. And in this chapter somethings may seem illusive, but hey, it's only a fan ficition. Don't like it, don't read it. :)
Diggle barley gets to park the car outside Harry Johnson's house before they're rushed into the house and down the stairs into a basement that looked more like a surgery room. Oliver lays Felicity down on a bed and is soon pushed aside by Harry as he man hook her up on a heart monitor and IV.
"It is nice to finally meet you Mr. Queen. But what I would like to know right now is why Felicity collapsed? Hm, can it maybe the traumatic adventure of returning to Lian Yu?" The elderly man bit out a little sourly. He knew Felicity was very fond of this Oliver Queen, but he would not stand beside them, watching as Oliver destroyed the life Felicity had built up for the last three years.
He also knew that his comment would likely have made Oliver upset so he wasn't surprised when he found himself against the wall with Oliver hovering over him.
"Who the hell are you and what the hell do you mean by returning to Lian Yu?"
Harry Johnson let out a bitter laugh and then it dawned on him that Oliver didn't know about Felicity's secret.
"I am sorry, Mr. Queen. I assumed you knew about Felicity's former life as an ASIS agent, but it turns out that I was wrong. If you would be a kind gentleman and let me go, so I can help Felicity, I would be happy." As Oliver let Harry go he rushed over to Felicity with the tray that held his tools for performing a smaller surgery.
Oliver wakes up in the middle of the night, a little confused of where he is at first. But then he remembers when he hears the crash of waves outside the Queen's beach house a couple of miles outside Starling City. 'Finding Felicity in the lair. Harry Johnson. ASIS Agent.' He thinks as he reaches out to find the spot beside him empty. He then hears the crackling of fire outside the bedroom and he slips out of bed, putting on his PJ pants and walks out to the parlor, where he finds Felicity standing in front of the fireplace.
He walks up to her and put his arms around her waist.
"Can't sleep?" He nuzzles his nose into her hair and Felicity lets out a small sigh.
"I had a nightmare. I didn't want to wake you up so I got out here." She turns around so she can put her arms around his neck and she lays her head against his naked shoulder. Oliver strokes her over the back and tightens his arms around her a little. "You want to talk about it?" Felicity shakes her head and takes a deep breath, looking back into the fire. "I'm a little bit scared… Scared that when we return to normal living life that you will come to sense and realize that I'm not an easy person to be with." Felicity takes a step back and bit her lip as she watches Oliver. "I'm mean; don't you find this unrealistic? Eight months ago I found you in my car, bleeding. We had only met a few times and you trusted me. And now you know who I really am. If I had been you, right now, I would leave. My father is a really dangerous man and he won't stop looking for me until he has my head on a silver plate." A tear slips down Felicity's cheek.
Oliver was scared, confused and a little freaked out over the situation he's been in the last couple of days, but he knows for sure that his feelings for Felicity is only getting stronger, because she's just like him. Broken. And together they are strong.
All Oliver and Diggle can do in this moment is to step back and watch as Harry Johnson takes a scalpel and cut Felicity's skin behind her left ear. "Felicity Smoak's real name is Meghan Wilson. She was born in Melbourne to Alexander Wilson and his wife Sandra. Sandra died when Felicity was two and her father is an insane man. He didn't want a daughter; he wanted a soldier just like him and his other child Slade."
Oliver recoils and Diggle lays a hand on his shoulder. "You okay, man?" He asks and Oliver shakes his head, trying to clear his thoughts "I met a manwith the name Slade Wilson on the island. Do you mean that Felicity and Slade is siblings?"
Harry is silent for a moment, as he pull out a small piece of metal from Felicity's head, "Just as I thought it was. The wire has slipped." He mumbles under his breath and quickly put the blue wire, back in place. He then put the metal plate back onto Felicity's head and stiches her skin up. Harry takes his gloves of and turns to stare at Oliver. "Yes, Slade is Felicity's bigger brother. Mr. Queen, I know who you are. And I know what you do. Don't worry, Felicity have not told me anything but it wasn't so hard to figure out. On Lian Yu you were trained by Slade and Shado. I figured it out when you came back a year ago and then a week later there's a perfect archer running around the street, putting arrows into people." Harry sighs heavily and sits down on a chair.
"Felicity's father realized that his daughter was a genius when she was five and he started to train her. At the age of seven she build her own computer, at the age of eleven she was trained to be a soldier. The Wilson family has generations of ASIS agents and Alexander wasn't going to stop it because Felicity was a girl. He put a wire into her brain and a chip into her neck so he could have complete control over her. If she disobeyed he only had to push a button and her brain would fry. She was fed with amphetamine so she wouldn't fall asleep whenever they were on a mission. Can you imagine, an eleven year old girl, high on amphetamine fighting like a soldier?"
Oliver tries to swallow, but his throat is dry. He blinks a couple of times, trying to process all the information and then he looks at Diggle. And they both couldn't believe any of this. Sweet and innocent Felicity had once a life that was much worse than any of them could imagine.
"What…" Oliver takes a deep breath "What does ASIS stand for?" This time Diggle speaks up "Australian Secret Intelligence Service. I heard about them when I was in Afghanistan. ASIS is the Australian government intelligence agency. They collect foreign intelligence, undertaking counter-intelligence and cooperation with other agencies overseas. Wait… Was Felicity Deathstroke?"
At that question Oliver heads pop up. Deathstroke was the one who tortured him on the island. 'What the hell is going on?' He thinks.
Oliver walks up to Felicity and brushes away her tears with his thumbs and put his lips against hers, softly. "Stop, Felicity. I will not let you blame yourself for any of this. I will do anything to keep you safe; your father will not find you. You hear me?" He takes her hand and walks toward the bedroom. "Let's sleep and we will talk more in the morning, okay?" He squeezes her hand softly and when she gives him a watery smile he can feel himself relaxes a little bit.
