A/N: Behold another chapter!
Enjoy!
Chapter 2
It the quickest way possible, Adam first explained to her where they are and who Felicity is, then why there here using the same story he gave Felicity.
"Well it's lucky you have such a good friend and cute too." Vivian said when the story was over.
Adam ignored the 'cute' comment, "Yeah, I'm not sure where we would have gone if we hadn't met her."
"Well, you don't have to worry about that. If your all ready I can show you where you'll be staying." Felicity said.
Adam looked back at everyone who nodded before lookin back at Felicity. "Yeah, we're ready."
"Good follow me they are just down the hall." Felicity said.
She lead them down the hall to where their rooms will be.
"Each room has a king sized and a bathroom the floor above us is full of clothes and the floor below is a kitchen. This floor is the relaxation/room floor complete with everthing that's well..fun." Felicity said.
"Wow." Vivian said quiet impressed. "What exactly does your dad do that makes this much money?"
"He makes, well everything name anything and he probably has a brand of it."
"That sounds like a lot of work." Vivian commented worriedly. "Does he actually have very much time to spend with you?"
"Well, yeah some time, but not much." Felicity said a bit sadly.
"I'm sorry to hear that, that must be very difficult." Someone commented but this time it was Adam. "Then always moving around on top of that, must get pretty lonely."
"Well yeah, but you've been nice to have around." Felicity said.
"Well, we're all glad we could help you with that." Adam said simply.
"I hope I get to stick around for a while." Felicity said again drifting a bit towards Adam.
Adam was gonna try and drift away from her but for some reason she couldn't. "Yeah, besides, Danville's pretty much the best place you could be."
Katie drifted up on Adams other side. "Yeah, it's never a dull day here." She said glancing at Felicity.
Felicity drifted closer so that she's right up next to Adam. "I can already tell, why do you think I hope so much that I get to stick around."
"Well I'm sure you have your reasons." Katie said drifting so she was up against Adam's other side.
Adam looked back and forth between the two of them awkwardly before stopping on Felicity. "So, which rooms are ours?"
"Right over here." She said pointing to four doors on the right. "Vivian yours is the closest then Katie's, then Isabella's, then Adam's, then mine."
"My room is right next to yours?" Adam asked turning slightly red.
"Yes, yes it is." She said shrugging.
Felicity looked over at Katie who was glaring at her and sent an innocent smile her way.
"So, any questions?" Felicity asked.
"Are there any places in the building we can't go?" Isabella asked.
"Yes, two floors up is dads work from there up do not go there unless I'm with you and you have either mine or dads permission." Felicity said seriously.
Isabella nodded. "Understood, that's why I asked."
"Well other than that feel free to wonder I'm going to go for a swim." Felicity said.
"There's a pool here?" Adam asked in surprise. His house with Isabella had a pool but this was a tower.
"Sure! When I said all things fun I meant it. Want to join me a swim might calm you all down." She offered.
"We'd have to borrow some swimsuits then." Isabella said. "What we have on right now is about all we've got because of the explotion."
Right when she pointed that out, Adam couldn't help but think of when he had first came to Danville only he had a LITTLE bit more that time.
"Well again the clothes are above us go a head and get what ever you need and I'll see you all there." Felicity said winking at Adam.
Katie glared at Felicity having noticed the wink but didn't say anything as they headed to the next floor up.
Felicity smirked as she went into her own room.
One floor up they found everything literally there were brands none of them had ever heard of.
"Well I'm impressed." Adam said.
"Yeah, I've never seen this many clothes." Isabella agreed looking around. "Not even in stores."
Katie walked off muttering something.
"Mom and I will go check on her, Adam go find a swim suit." Isabella said as she and Vivian left.
They found Katie going through swim suits and still muttering.
"What the matter, Katie." Isabella asked worriedly.
"The rich teen model worthy girl is trying to steal my boyfriend." She huffed.
"It's not going to work though." Isabella reassured confidently. "He's not going to leave you for her, especially after what happened."
"I'm not so sure Isabella what if he does?" Katie asked.
"He won't, I know my brother and he's not that kind of guy." Isabella said without even a sliver of doubt.
"Yeah, but what if she just keeps it up? I mean there's only so much a person can take..."
"Then I'll keep him in the right mind." Isabella said simply. "I know true love and I know that you and Adam are meant to be. Just like Phineas and I are."
Katie smiled "Maybe your right, thanks Isabella." Katie said smiling.
What they did not know was Felicity was listening in on camera's.
"So, to get to Adam, I have to get Isabella to like me too." She thought as she changed.
'That won't be a problem at all.' She thought once she was finished getting ready.
She made her way out and too the other end of the hall and sat beside the pool waiting for her guests. The pool was ten feet deep whihad taken some very careful building. I had two diving boreds and three water slides. Beside it was a a wide hot tube.
She heard an impressed whistle as Adam entered having not noticed her yet as he looked at the pool.
Felicity got up and walked over to him with a smile. "You like what you see?"
"Yeah it's an impressive.." Adam trailed off slightly as he looked at her. She was wearing a one pieced violet swim suit that hugged her body like a glove.
Remembering Isabella again he manged to shake himself quickly. "It's an impressive pool." He finished looking back at the pool.
"Right, the pool." Felicity said taking a step closer to him. "But I'm assuming you don't just want to stare at it."
"I...uhh..." Adam stammered taking a step back.
"Adam, why do you keep doing that?" Felicity asked sadly. "You say you don't not like me but you act like you hate me or something."
"I do like you really it's just complicated is all..." Adam said awkwardly rubbing the back of his head.
"What's so complicated?" She looked back at the pool. "It's just a pool but you're acting like I asked you to have sex with me or something… which I am DEFINATELY not that kind of girl, by the way."
"I don't know how to explain it. It's confusing." Adam said
"It's hard to know what to believe with you, sometimes. I've been hurt too many times by too many people so I don't like people lying to me."
"What do you want me to say?" Adam asked.
Felicity was smiling to herself this was going just how she wanted it too.
"I want you to tell me the truth." She said in a pleading voice. "To tell me what you REALLY feel about me."
"I..I'm not sure Felicity. I like you okay, but I'm with Katie and I like her too and I won't cheat on her." Adam sighed.
Felicity was confused by this, at least she looked like she was, but happy because he said he likes her. "I though you broke up with her? What happened?"
"She told me what was wrong and I promised her to keep it secret. We worked it out." Adam said finally looking at Felicity.
Felicity just gave him a forced but natural looking smile. "Well, that's great for you but wh didn't you just say so?"
"Because I did not want to make anyone mad." Adam said.
"How would that make anyone mad?" Felicity asked.
"I don't know I am not thinking straight." Adam said.
"Well, like I said, swimming might help clear that up." She stepped out of his way. "I assume that why your here at the pool, wearing a swimsuit. So why don't you just jump in? No one's stoping you."
Adam jumped in and she was right he did feel better much better in fact.
Felicity smiled and got in two but she went down one of the water-slides, you truly never get tired of those." She said once she emerged to the surface.
"I can imagine." Adam said as he floated by her looking much more relaxed
"See? I told you. The water helps." Felicity said simply but unlike Adam she was treading instead of floating.
Isabella Vivian and Katie all came in at that point and their jaws dropped.
"Wow!" Isabella said as Felicity made her way toward Isabella if she had to get close to Isabella too why not start now?
Felicity swam over to the edge and pulled herself out before going over to Isabella. "Yeah, all of the towers have a similar pool and they've always been my favorite rooms."
"Adam and I love pools. It took me forever to convince mom to get one." Isabella said
Felicity motioned to the pool, "Then be my guest."
Isabella dove in and instantly like Adam felt calm. "This is nice." She sighed
"See? Water just does that." Felicity said simply before diving back in herself.
"Yeah, it's a very calming thing water. Now Felicity I want to talk to you." Isabella said
"About what?" Felicity asked innocently.
"About my brother." Isabella said simply since they were away from the others
"Well, I don't know what there is to talk about him but ok." Felicity agreed awkwardly.
"Felicity, I've noticed you've been flirting with him all day, more so since we got here." Isabella said.
"I have?" Felicity asked in her secret blond act pretending to process that looking down at the water as she treaded. "Was it really coming off that way? I was just trying to be nice so that he'd consider me a friend and I'd have someone to hang out with and talk to which is not easy when you're never in one place long enough to really get to know someone. I didn't mean to try and steal him from Katie or anything like that.
"Oh, well Katie thinks that you are trying to steal Adam from her and maybe you should tone it down just a bit?" Isabella said.
Felicity nodded, "I will, I honesty didn't even notice I was coming off that way so thank you for bringing that to my attention." Felicity lied flawlessly knowing that's what she wanted to hear.
"It's alright, I just did not want there to be any more tension and hopefully this will lessen it." Isabella said.
Felicity nodded in agreement, "I will try and make sure of that."
"Thank you, and I'm sure that you will find more friends and even a boyfriend here." Isabella said.
Felicity gave a weak smile. "Hopefully."
"Hey, between you and me, if Katie were not here you might already have Adam in that way." Isabella shrugged trying to cheer the apparently sad girl up.
Felicity rolled over so she was floating on her back since she was getting tired. "And then before you know it, I'd be gone and he would be sad." She reminded with a sigh. "A real relationship just can't happen with me."
"Not true, if someone truly loves you and you love them you'll find a way to make it work." Isabella said.
"But how are you suppose to get that close to someone so quickly?" Felicity asked.
"When you meet the right person, you'll know." Isabella said with confidence
Felicity smiled, "I guess you're right, thanks Isabella."
"No problem Felicity. If you ever need to talk come to me." Isabella said
This was pretty much going perfectly for Felicity with Isabella, she promised she wouldn't flirt with Adam but she has other ways of getting what she wants. What kind of evil CEO would she be if she didn't.
They swam for a few hours, but eventually they all got tired and changed into pajama's and went to bed. As was usual the first part of Adams night was peaceful. Then the nightmare kicked in Vanessa was standing above all his friend and family all of the me dead she was taunting him on his inability to save them as she plunged her sword into Isabella.
Adam shot up in bed and had to think for a few minutes before he remembered where he was. He looked at the clock and noticed it was 3 in the morning much as he would like to, he knew he could not go back to sleep. He picked himself up and walked out to the balcony for some fresh air as he starred out at Danville
He was surprised to find Felicity out there. She was wearing a simple soft pink nightgown but was surprisingly wearing a pair of heels the same color. She didn't seem to notice him though.
"Hey, what are you doing up?" Adam asked as he approached.
Felicity jumped slighly in surprise before turning to Adam. "Nightmares, again. It's been eight years but they never seem to go away."
"Oh, I'm sorry if it helps I'm not sleeping much either lately." Adam said standing beside her on the balcony.
Felicity nodded, "It's really not an easy task but that actually does help, even though it's unfortunate for you."
"It's okay, I'm here if you need me." Adam said starring out at Danville.
"And I'm here for you." Felicity said over looking the new city, to her anyways. "We could both use it."
"Yeah we could." Adam said he noticed her shiver. "Are you cold?" He asked.
Felicity nodded, "A little, but it doesn't really bother me that much."
"Oh well, alright no hug for you." Adam said smiling.
"You have a girlfriend." Felicity stated simply. "It wouldn't be right."
"It would have been just a hug. I hug Katie's other friends and she does not care."
Felicity shook her head. "I have my own personal morals on this kind of stuff."
"Fair, I can respect that." Adam said sliding away from her a little.
Felicity smiled at him. "See what happens when you're honest with me?"
"Yes." Adam said in a tone like a kid who had been scolded
Felicity leaned over the balcony looking around the city. "One of the very few upsides to alway moving around. You're never in one place long enough for this to get old."
"It never gets old for me."
"The towers are all tediously the same. All around the world. The cities themselves create divercity. Some are better than others." Felicity said almost in some kind of weird trance as the breeze played gracefully with her hair.
Adam tried not to stare at her...for too long as he looked out over the city.
Felicity saw something distracting and unimportant because I don't know what to make it be near the building and leaned over further, quickly losing her footing and falling right over the edge. Which was 26 stories above the ground, she'd be dead for sure if Adam hadn't caught her. Why did he have to be so stupid? He should have let her fall.
He had caught her by the wrist and pulled her back up onto the balcony she was shaking with fear. "Hey, it's alright." Adam said pulling her further away from the edge.
Felicity glanced towards the edge then back at Adam still shaking. "Y-you save my life." She stuttered in disbelief. "I barely even know you, why would you do that for me?"
"I care about you, and you've been great to me. I would never let you fall." Adam said looking down at her.
"What if catching me caused you to fall too though?" Felicity asked worried.
"Then that's how it is , but I don't think it would have I outweigh you by a fair bit so that helped as long as you were alright."
"Well, I must admit you are quite brave, almost as if you save lives for a living." Felicity said calming down quite a bit but that comment caused his own heart rate to spike. "Like a doctor, or a fireman but of course, you're too young for either of those so I'm literally just rambling aren't I?"
"A little bit yeah, but that's okay." Adam said not noticing he had not let go of her.
"You can let go of my now, I'm not falling anymore." Felicity said turning slightly pink.
"Oh, right sorry." He said letting her go and stepping back a bit.
Felicity rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. "Thanks by the way, you know, for saving me. I'd certainly be dead if you didn't."
"No problem. I'm glad you're okay." He said running a hand through his hair
"What's gonna happen when it's time for me to leave, though?" She asked.
"We'll keep in touch and who knows maybe you'll get to stay." Adam shrugged.
Felicity smiled, "That would be fantastic but rather unlikely."
"I'm just saying you never know."
"True, anything could happen."
"See, always stay positive." Adam said.
"Well, though it unlikely we should both at least try to get some sleep." She said worriedly.
"You're right, we should." Adam said opening the door for her.
"Thank you, Adam." Felicity said with a nod heading inside.
"No problem, Felicity." Adam said as they went to their separate rooms.
However, when she was out of his sight she smiled. Him saving her life, just made her want him to herself all the more ans she was was Felicity Daniels she always got what she wanted one way or the other...
The rest of the night had surprisingly went off without a hitch, that is, until the next morning when he and pretty much everyone in Danville was suddenly awakened by a blood curdling scream.
"What's wrong!?" Adam and Isabella said as they rushed out
Felicity, who was the one who screamed, was unable to speak out of the sheer horror so they had to look around her at what she was looking at and both of their hearts practically stopped right there, sorry, this is a bad time for that phrase isn't it? Katie was there VERY clearly dead. She had a look of horror on her face and she was laying ing a pool of her own blood.
"Katie!" Adam shouted in horror as he ran up to her body. He was beyond pissed but he just assumed it was because of Vanessa, he didn't even suspect the terrified girl in the doorway. Exactly the way she wanted it.
"What happened? Felicity did you see anything?" Isabella asked as Adam examined her body
Felicity shook her head still looking terrified. "She was like this when I found her."
"Isa! Call everyone and get them over here now!" Adam said in a commanding tone and Felicity was surprised to see his eyes turn red.
Isabella ripped out her phone and started immediately dialing numbers, most one which with on speed dial.
Adam starred at Katie in total shock. "I'm so sorry. I failed to protect you." He said.
Felicity slowly walked over to Adam and put a comforting hand on his shoulder but didn't say anything as she stared at the body. Adam did not seem to notice as he just stared at Katie.
'His girlfriend just died, now you just need to wait it out and keep down what you're doing and Adam will be all over you in no time.' Felicity mentally reminded herself evilly. It's a good thing she had those gas vents installed it every room in every tower with the exception of her's and her office. They're completely indistinguishable from air vents though, even double as air vents in fact.
She was surprised when the people she had gotten to know yesterday began to simply appear out of thin air as well as a girl in all black with reddish orange hair. They all had pretty much disregarded Felicity and gathered around the body.
"What happened?" The red haired girl asked.
"Not sure she was just found this way." Adam said.
"Well, who found her first?" The orange haired teen asked so that she'd know who to futher question on the matter.
"Felicity did." Adam said pointing over to her.
Candace looked over at Felicity immediately distrusting and turned to Adam. "Adam, need to speak with you alone for a second."
"Okay." Adam said following her from the group.
"You can't trust Felicity." Candace told him seriously. "The other her's Vanessa's second-in-command."
"So? Just because one version of you is bad does not mean the other is."
"Plus, look at her first day here, Katie's parents doed, then your house blew up, and now Katie's dead." Cadace reminded. "Is that just some kind of coincidence?"
"Candace in my first day with you I go stabbed in the shoulder by a robot, and beaten by a psychopath. So yeah it could be plus if it was her why not kill Isa, Mom, and I?"
"If it were Vanessa why wouldn't she kill you guys too?" Candace challanged that logic. "She would have been so close to you guys and had already gotten one, why wouldn't she want to finish the job?"
"I don't know, but your basis for not trusting her makes no sense." Adam said.
Candace sighed. "I'll talk to Isabella 1 about it, see what she thinks. In te meantime, don't you guys have school?"
"Yeah, but after this are we really expected to go?" Adam asked.
"The civilians expect you too and remember, though you're not normal teen you have to let everyone else think you are." Candace reminded though it really is unfortunate.
"This is ridiculous and you know it normal is boring!" Adam said. He had been getting sick of Firestorm lately
"Yes but it's nessesary to keep it a secret. All of this." Candace reminded.
"Fine, but someone needs to talk to mom." Adam said.
"Someone will, now get ready for school." Candace said almost sounding like a parent.
Adam glared at her, but went to his room slamming the door behind him.
