Chapter 2

Felicity woke up at 6am, she got up and put on some running gear and when for a half an hour jog. She wore some black shorts, running trainers, a sports bra with a thin white t-shirt over the top along with a ruck sack with spear clothes and shampoo for her shower after her run. She thought she would go to the foundry and get a workout in whilst she was awake. She put her hair in a messy pony tail; it was still curly from the night before. Not long after she was in the foundry, after doing some sparring on the dummy she moved over to the salmon ladder and started lifting herself to the top. Once she got to the top she dropped down and then climbed on the side to grab the bar. The she did it again, as she got midway she heard the foundry door open with several voices. She continued and the 3 boys arrived with shocked looks on their faces as she reached the top and then dropped down. She walked over and grabbed a bottle of water and she smirked as she drank it.

'How the hell can you do that? I still can't do it and I've been trying for like a year?' Roy looked confused as he spoke.

'Practice makes perfect Harper! I will give all three of you a run for your money. I have abs now too' she smiled and looked at the three stunned men before her.

'Let me guess you can shoot a bow and arrow too huh?' Roy was joking but when she was silent and bit her lip to stop herself from laughing.

'Really?' All three replied at the same time and looked at her and she just nodded as a reply.

'This was fun; I will see you guys tonight? I've gotta go and get myself a job and do some grocery shopping' she picked up her things but was stopped by Oliver before she reached the steps.

'You have a job, as my executive assistant or head of the I.T department, your choice' he smiled and she tilted her head.

'Is that really the best idea? I don't want your girlfriend thinking less of you'

'What are you talking about?'

'Oliver, the whole of QC thinks I slept to the top already, they're going to think the same again and I don't want rumours to affect your relationship'

'Don't worry about that ok, you start Monday as head of I.T, meet me in my office at 9am' he smiled and as he went to turn around he felt a small hand on his arm.

'Thank you' she gave him a warm smile and then left the foundry.

He turned around to see Dig and Roy smirking.

'What?'

'Oh nothing, I'm sure you'll figure it out soon enough' Roy smiled and then moved to the mats with Dig to start training and he just walked over to the salmon ladder.

As she walked out of the foundry she rang Sara, they haven't spoken since she got back the other day so she needed a girl chat.

'Felicity, we miss you girl! How are you?'

'Sara, I miss you too. I told the boys where I was and that I have been trained by you and Nyssa. But I haven't told them everything, I don't want to be left completely vulnerable'

'That's understandable Felicity, you shouldn't have gone through some of what you did, and that was my fault'

'It's not your fault, anyway they will find out eventually, but I have a feeling they will freak out if they see my scars'

'They will understand, especially Oliver'

'Well I think I'm the last person on Oliver's mind'

'What do you mean?'

'Nothing don't worry about it, when are you coming to visit?

'We're flying back in two weeks, staying until after New Year!'

'That's great! You'll be here for like 2 months! You guys can stay with me if you like?'

'Yeah that will be great thank you! I shall see you in two weeks, but ring me before then if there are any problems'

'Will do, talk soon Sara, and tell Nyssa I said hey!'

'Of course, bye Felicity'

She went home to get changed and then when food shopping, she had literally no food in her house, which was a problem. She needed mint chip, Nyssa hadn't let her eat any whilst training, but after 6 months without it, she was having withdrawal symptoms.

After she had eaten dinner she headed to the foundry around 7 in workout gear from earlier to see the three boys training with the Bo staffs, they didn't even hear come in, so she decided to grab one of the staffs from by the stairs and climb to the beams above the training area. Then when they least expected it, she jumped down and joined the training.

The three boys stopped and were in complete shock.

'You have gotta be prepared for anything' she smirked at Oliver who winked back at her and then the four continued to train. Roy dropped out soon after, he was a bit embarrassed that Felicity was more able than him and she had less time to train. But she promised him he would help him out. Digg then left to go and see Lyla, who was close to popping out a little Digglet.

Then it was just her and Oliver. They stopped training and just sat on the mats and talked for a bit.

'It was my fault you left wasn't it?' he looked guilty as he spoke, she didn't want him to feel like that way.

'Not completely?' she looked up and met his eyes and he raised an eyebrow.

'The truth please'

'Ok, well here goes nothing. This is properly no secret, but I had feelings for you for a long time and what happened with Slade hurt me, and I've been hurt plenty of times before and I wanted to find a way to become stronger, and I didn't want to feel the pain again, so I did what I have done before, I left'

She let out a large breathe and waited for a reply.

'I'm sorry, you told me before that you have been abandoned and I should've taken that into consideration, I'm really sorry Felicity'

God she hated it when he said her name like that.

'Don't blame yourself for everything that happens around you Oliver, I should have figured it out that it was a trick, we are unthinkable, you and me'. She gave him a sad smile and then got up to leave when he got up and stopped her with a gentle touch on her arm.

'I'm sorry'

'It's ok, see you Monday?' he nodded and she went back home.
