A/N: Not in a joking mood so enjoy.

Chapter 5

Everyone appeared in the headquarters. "Good, now that you all are here first I want to talk to Felicity." Candace said.

"Um… ok." Felicity agreed slightly hesitant.

"Do you want be a part of this?" Candace asked.

Felicity nodded seriously. "I wanna help protect Adam and the rest of my friends. Without them I have no one but my adopted dad who's barely even there."

"Well alright, Adam is in charge of your training from here one you are a part of the Firestorm/O.W.C.A alliance." Candace said handing her a badge.

Felicity took the badge with a smile. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, work hard." Candace said.

"I will." Felicity promised seriously.

"Adam, even though you two are dating you cannot go easy in her training." Candace said.

"I understand." Adam said before realizing that he never told her that and neither did Felicity. "Wait, how did you know that we're dating?"

"All the signs were there and you are way to protective of her to just be friends."

"Alright, point taken, but I still won't go easy on her in training." Adam said knowing very well that in this line of work, that'll just get her killed.

"Good, so on to business, we know Vanessa base is mobile."

"So, even if we find where she is she probably won't still be there long enough for an attake so instead we need to find out where she's going to be and beat her to it." Isabella concluded.

"Yes, the problem is she seems to have no real pattern for us to follow." Candace sighed.

"There's most be someway to find out though." Adam concluded.

"We, would need either a way to track her as she moves or an inside agent." Candace said.

"She doesn't know me yet." Felicity reminded without really thinking it through very well. "I could go in and find out."

"Well, that could work, but there is one problem with that."

"Which is?" Felicity asked.

"The other you is her second in command." Candace said.

"Well, wouldn't that just make it easier to by?" Felicity asked having lived in the Second Dimension multiple times. "Though not the case this time, in most cases the counterparts are usually on the same side when it comes to good vs. evil."

"Do you really think you could do it?" Candace asked.

"I'm sure I can," Felicity said confidently. "how would I contact you guys with the information though?"

"well you would only be able to talk to one of us and that person would give the rest of us the information." Candace said.

"I'd still need some kind of communication link to connect to that one person."

"You would have one invisible and undetectable, but in your ear at all times." Candace said.

Felicity nodded, "Got it, anything else?"

"You cannot get caught."

"Of course not, and I'm guessing I have to be in it till she's dead?"

"Yes, you have to be there to the end." Candace said.

"Understood. What else?" Felicity asked.

"For the extreme danger and your lack of training you'll need a partner to watch your back just in case."

"But everyone else Vanessa would recognize in a heartbeat." Felicity reminded.

"That's true, but you need to have some form of back up."

"True, then how are we going to do it?" Felicity asked.

"I'm not sure we could put on a very convincing lie and make it seem like one of us was fired." Candace suggested.

"True, but it would have to be someone she could not resist coming to her side." Isabella said.

"I'll do it." Adam volunteered kind of stupidly but it meant he'd still be with Felicity and could protect her.

"I don't know, are you sure Adam?" Candace asked.

Adam nodded. "She's my girlfriend and my trainee. Therefore, she's my responsibility."

"Well, I can't argue with that, but we have to make this firing look good." Candace said

"Yeah, so we should probably figure out the story behind it ahead of time." Adam suggested. "It has to be convincing that you'd fire me for it but not something so bad that it could turn her away."

"A screw up on a mission that costs lives?" Isabella said.

"I guess that works, in Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. that's not really seen as a bad thing but it most definately is here." Adam agreed.

"Good, now are the two of you sure?" Candace asked.

"I want a different partner." Felicity said not wanting Adam to put himself in danger for her.

"Why? When it comes to partners you can't get much better than Adam." Candace said.

"I don't want Adam putting himself in danger for me." Felicity said.

"Felicity, I don't want you to be in danger without me."

Felicity sighed. "I guess that's fair."

"Good, so we're all agreed." Isabella said.

"Yeah, but how are we gonna get inside?" Felicity asked.

"First, Adam needs to get fired."

"Do people actually have to die for that?" Felicity asked sounding convincingly worried.

"No, we just ask a few people to take time off at our hidden base in the tropics."

"That's perect then." Felicity said before thinking for a short while. "No more questions."

"Alright, then people lets get this firing over with."

Hours later Adam and Candace were ready and they made a great scene out of it.

"I DON'T CARE ADAM THAT KIND OF FAILURE CANNOT BE TOLERATED!" Candace shouted.

"I know but it was just that one mistake!" Adam attempted to defend.

"That one mistake cost us ten agents, Adam. You did not plan carefully enough."

Adam sighed sadly. "I know, and I should have."

"I'm sorry Adam, but you know what I have to do." Candace said.

"Yeah, I know." Adam said handing her his badge.

"You have five minutes to be pout of the building." Candace said pointing to the dementional teleporters.

Adam grabbed his girlfriend and discretly the comm units taking them to the teleporter and they disappeared.

"Now, we wait for her." Adam said as they appeared in Wolfgang Tower.

"Yeah, no turning back now, not that I'd want to." Felicity said putting in her comm unit making sure it's in right.

"Me either." Adam said with his comm already in. They knew she would come the opportunity was too good for her to pass up so they went to the TV room and waited.

Sure enough, Vanessa appeared a short while later.

She did it carefully there was a knock at the door to the living floor. Felicity got up and answered it with Adam trailing close behind. They opened the door and there she stood clad in a black form fitting uniform her brown hait done in a ponytail was Vanessa Doofenshmertz.

Adam took a step back from her taking Felicity with him so as not to seem suspicious. "What do you want Vanessa?"

"Aw, Adam, you're not happy to see me?" Vanessa asked sarcastically as she stepped inside.

"All things considered not perticularly." Adam pointed out. "Why are you here?"

"I hear through my grapevine that someone's been recently fired from Firestorm." Vanessa said closing the door behind her.

"Yeah, I made a huge mistake on a mission which ended up getting ten agents killed." Adam said looking down as if he was ashamed of it.

Felicity just looked completely lost, something she was very use to faking.

"Wow, that's not like you to be so sloppy." Vanessa said sitting down on the couch.

"Yeah, it was one stupid mistake but it that work mistakes like that just cannot be tolerated." Adam said still standing up.

"Well that is a shame, but I'm here with proposition." Vanessa said.

Adam seemed to hesitate as he took a seat. "Which is?"

"Well, I would like for you to come work for me."

"What makes you think I'd do that?" Adam asked but his tone showed that he was actually considering it.

"Think about it you could get revenge and I can get annoyances out of the way." Vanessa whispered in his ear with her chin on his shoulder.

Adam turned and looked at her, "Only if my girlfriend, Felicity, here can, too." Adam bargained pointing over to Felicity.

Vanessa looked a bit surprised and maybe just a bit jealous at Adam calling Felicity his girlfriend, but hid it quickly. "Of course, she can."

Adam looked of at Felicity for confirmation before turning back to Vanessa. "Alright, we'll join you."

"Perfect, then can we set up in this tower or one of the other towers?" She asked Felicity.

"There's other people here some of which still work for Firestorm but we could use one of the other ones." Felicty explained.

"Very well do you have one near by?" Vanessa asked

"Next nearest one is in the next town over in… that direction." Felicity said pointing.

"Very well then if it causes no trouble I would like to set up there." Vanessa said.

"It won't be any trouble at all." Felicity said.

"Excellent, now Adam, I want to talk to Felicity."

Adam looked at Vanessa, then at Felicity, "I guess you can."

He left the room and went to his own room. The second he was gone Vanessa turned to Felicity. "How did you mange to get him?" She asked dropping the act that they did not know each other.

Normally, there wouldn't have been anything about that answer that she couldn't or wouldn't tell her. Even the part about her killing Katie but with that comm unit, she couldn't tell her anymore than she could have if one of them was in the room with them. "I'm not sure really, I just came in through school and he was just hooked. Though, the pity points probably helped, the orphan girl with no friends that always has to move around, you can't not feel sorry for that."

"True, but man of all the boys you could have hooked you got a good one, cute too." Vanessa said.

Wanting to tell her everything Felicity wrote down every detail of how she actually did it and handed it to Vanessa adding that someone could be listening.

Vanessa read it over with a mean smile. That seemed a lot more like the 1st Dimension Felicity she knew. "Now, that makes more sense."

"Well, he needed the nudge." She said.

"I can't believe I never thought of that." Vanessa obsevered. "Apperently it works."

"Vanessa, you seem jealous." Felicity said.

Vanessa sighed, she really couldn't be mad at Felicity. She might as well be her sister, "Maybe a little."

"You are Vanessa you're jealous" Felicity said ina little sibling taunting the big sibling kind of way.

On the paper Vanessa wrote: We are being listened to aren't we?

Felicity nodded and wrote down Firestorm's exact plan here and handed it to Vanessa.

"Of course I'm a little jealous, yes he's a bit younger, but he is cute." Vanessa said as she wrote:

Between the two of us we could probably corrupt the four people staying here.

"A little too late Vanessa, I don't plan on letting him go anytime soon." Felicity said writing:

Of course we can, they're as moldable as playdoh. Almost not fun since it's so easy.

"Are you sure I can't convince you to share?" Vanessa asked. Writing:

Maybe it's just you

"That's not the kind of thing you could share." Felicity reminded writing:

I'm just that good. By the way, this paper obviously has to be distroyed.

"Not true they do it all the time in other countries." Vanessa said writing:

I know that

"Adam wouldn't agree to that with anyone though." Felicity said writing:

That's why I had to kill, Katie.

"I don't know the right person could get him to agree." Vanessa said writing :

Anything to get what you want eh?

"Rather unlikely but I guess you could try." Felicity said writing:

I wouldn't be me if I didn't. He just assumed it was you though.

"It might work if you helped." Vanessa said writing:

It really might work that way plus I'm sure would rather share him with me and not someone like Katie.

"I would never do something like that." Felicity defended however she wrote quite the opposite:

Fine, I'll help, but only because it's you. I trust you.

"Alright, if that's how you feel." Vanessa said writing:

Thank you!

Before talking Felicity wrote:

Anything for you.

It was true. Her and Vanessa are super close, Adam 1 was extremely sneaky though, she has no idea what so ever about the deal with her counterpart. Neither does Rodney. "We should probably go get Adam if you're done."

"Of course lead the way." Vanessa said.

Felicity lead her back to Adam's room. "You ready?" She asked once they got there.

"Am I ever not?" Adam asked.

"Touché." Felicity said simply. "Then should we get going?"

"Yeah, I guess we should I'll leave a note for Isabella so she does not come looking for me."

"Ok, but what would the note say?" Felicity asked.

"Just that we are going to visit one of the other towers for a few days and not to worry we'll be with your dad."

Felicity nodded. "Alright, that works perfectly then."

"Good just give me a miinute and I'll be done." Adam said. Adam filled out the note and left in on his bed right before they left.

"Ready? Vanessa asked pulling out her version of a teleporter.

"Ready." They both said before they teleported off. What Adam did not know was that yes, they were in the tower in the next town over from Danville… 2nd Dimension Danville. Felicity's a lot starter than she pretends to be.

Adam swayed dizzily that had been a bit rougher than the ones he was used too. He staggered and walked into Vanessa and Felicity.

Felicity grabbed his shoulders allowing him to recatch his balance. "You ok?"

"Her teleporters are faster than ours and it really made me dizzy." Adam said.

"Yes, but are you ok?" Felicity repeated worriedly.

"Yeah I just need to adjust." Adam said shaking a little.

"Adam, are you sure?" Vanessa asked sound truly worried.

"Yeah, I'm sure." Adam said as Felicity sat him down.

"Maybe you should lay down." Felicity said. Adam was about to argue but decided not to as she laid him down.

"I'm okay really." Adam said weakly as they both pushed him back down to the bed.

"Just lay down for a while so that you're brain can recover." Felicity told him gently.

"I just...fine." Adam said stubbornly, but even he knew that there was no arguing with these two.

Felicity gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Come on, please. It'll be just fine."

"Alright, fine I will lay down, but only because it's weird to see Vanessa care." Adam said. However, he couldn't help but be suspicous as to why she's acting like that but he had to keep his cover.

"Hey! You work with me now, you'll find that I do actually have heart."

"Well, alright, I guess." Adam agreed slightly hesitant.

"Come on Adam relax." Felicity said soothingly.

Adam took a deep breath trying to relax but didn't dare close his eyes.

"Relax, Adam." Felicity said and felt two hands run soothingly through his hair. A shiver ran down Adam's spine despite try to relax this was way too though he did manage to relax himself at least a little.

Vanessa looked open at Felicity with a smile, she was really good at that, but Felicity simply shrugged. "I have to contact my second." Vanessa said before leaving the room to call Felicity 1.

"That was weird." Adam said once she was gone.

"What was weird?" Felicity asked.

"Vanessa was weird."

"Well, what she said makes sense though. I mean, you treat your teammates A LOT different then you treat your enemies, too." Felicity reminded.

"I know that, but she was... never mind maybe it's just in my head?"

"She was what?" Felicity asked curiously.

"It's just she seemed flirty since she approached us." Adam said carefully

Felicity pretended to think about it for about it for a second. "It's probably just in your imagination."

"Yeah I guess so, you're probably right."

"See, you just need to relax and not worry about stuff like that." Felicity said kissing him.

"Well that always helps." Adam said when they separated.

"We're going to be fine, we can do this." Felicity said laying down herself.

"I know, but she really is acting weird."

Felicity shrugged, "Then keep an eye on her."

"I will and I have you. Unless you say other wise I'm all yours."

"Actually, this may sound weird, but I actually wouldn't really mind." Felicity said keeping in mind what she promised Vanessa.

"Would not mind what?" Adam asked taking out his earbud as this was a personal conversation.

Felicity took out her earbud as well. "I mean, I wouldn't mind if you were to date someone else at the sametime. I know, like I said, it's weird."

"You wouldn't really?" Adam asked sounding skeptical.

"As long as I still don't go anywhere, that's fine with me." Felicity said with a shrug.

"I will keep that in mind, but really I don't think we have to think about that where it comes to Vanessa." Adam said.

"I don't think so either." Felicity lied sounding confident. "Besides, she's six years older than you.

"I know that, she just seemed flirty is all."

"Well, I hadn't noticed anything." Felicity lied perfectly.

"Again maybe it's just me." Adam said.

"Then don't worry about it." Felicity said putting her comm back in since Vanessa will probably be back soon.

"Right back to business." Adam said putting his comm back in.

A short time later, Vanessa came back in but following not far behind her was a girl that you readers probably know as Felicity better than the one we've been following in this story but here like anyone else from the Second Dimension, we shall call her Felicity 1.

Adam had to do a double take before he believed what he saw.

"Well that was unexpected." Adam said in a great fake surprised tone.

Felicity 1 had immediately recognized Adam, he was the boy who killed Doofenshimrtz, but she couldn't even bring it up, not with Vanessa right there. "Adam, Felicity, this is my second-in-command Felicity from the 2nd Dimension." Vanessa introduced.

Felicity did a quick head to toe scan of her counterpart seemingly skipping over the really weird stuff. "Why isn't she wearing shoes?"

"I don't like shoes." Felicity said.

"What?! How could you not like SHOES?!" Felicity asked in disbelief.

"I had a bad experience with shoes." Felicity 1 said.

"O…kay." Felicity said choosing not to push it any further.

"So, these are the new recruits?"

"That's is correct, recently fired Firestorm agent Adam Garcia-Shapiro and your 1st Dimension counterpart Felicity Everheart Elizabeth…" Vanessa started to ramble off but realized Adam might get suspicous with her having it memorized. "a whole bunch of other names I don't remember."

"Just call me Felicity."

"Alright, then just call me Felicity 1 so people don't get us confused." Felicity 1 said looking over her glowing blue nails, some unknown reason.

"Alright that's fair."

"So, who's gonna train Felicity?" Felicity 1 asked simply earning a:

"You are." From Vanessa.

"Why me?" She asked.

"Because, you're obviously the best." Vanessa said simply.

"Well, yeah, but there's no way she could fight the way I do." Felicity 1 said sound arrogant but it's a fact, Felicity doesn't have powers… that was a weird sentence to write.

"You make a good point." Vanessa said.

"So, again, why me?" Felicity 1 asked.

"Because I need someone trust worthy to teach her and I have things I want to teach Adam or I would do it myself."

Felicity 1 sighed before grabbing her counterparts wrist and without much of a warning, blurring off with her.

"What just happened?" Adam asked both worried about Felicity and a little worried about being alone with Vanessa.

"Oh, Felicity 1 has super strength and speed." Vanessa said. "They certainly come in handy a lot."

"Will Felicity be alright?" Adam as not noticing Vanessa step closer to him.

"Oh yeah, she'll be just fine." Vanessa said kind of seductively.

"Are you sure?" Adam asked now noticing she was closer and also noticing he could not back away since he and Felicity had been leaning against the wall at the edge of the bed.

"Yeah, like I said, I can trust Felicity 1. I wouldn't have choosen her as my second-in-command if I didn't." Vanessa said moving even closer to him.

"Well, I guess if you trust her..." Adam trailed off she was not right in front of him.

"Yeah, you'd be surprised how much you can trust some people here when you're on the right side." Vanessa said rubbing his leg.

"Is that so?" Adam said doing his best to keep his voice calm.

"Yeah, just because we're bad guys doesn't mean we're bad guys." Vanessa said kind of contradicting herself.

"Isn't that a bit of a contradiction?" Adam said shivering involuntarily as she kept rubbing his leg.

Vanessa chuckled. "I mean that just because we're evil doesn't mean we're mean or distrust-worthy.

"Well I guess so." Adam said carefully.

"Just like when you were with Firestorm. You were a good guy but you weren't always a good guy, you made mistakes, probably did a few things you knew were wrong."

"Well...yeah." Adam said after pausing to think about it still distracted by her hand which had moved to his hip.

"See? Even in this line of work the lines can be blurry at times." She said continuing to rub his hip.

"You may be right, but Vanessa what are you doing?" Adam asked placing a hand over hers that was rubbing his hip

Vanessa turned red but didn't remove her hand. "What do you mean?"

"I mean this." Adam said gesturing to her hand on his hip.

Vanessa hesitated for a second unable to find the words and jus kissed him right there. To say Adam was stunned would be understating things. She expected him to push her away and maybe run which is why she was shocked when out of instinct alone he started to kiss her back.

Vanessa pulled him in closer very much enjoying herself, but Adam's brain finally kicked in and he pulled away. "Whoa, what was that?" He asked confused as he tried to catch his breath.

Vanessa's face turned red. "Well, what do you think it was?"

"I think it was a kiss and a very...passionate one at that." Adam said blushing.

"Well, that's exactly what it was." Vanessa said leaning back onto her heals.

"Well yeah, but I mean why?"

"Well, this is gonna sound really awkward coming from me of all people but... I like you, Adam." She confessed looking down.

"You do, but you're six years older than and well...you're hot you could pretty much have any guy."

"Well, it doesn't help that my dad use to banish every boy that showed any interest in me what-so-ever." Vanessa said with no trace of joke in her voice at all.

"He did, but why me?" Adam asked.

"Well, your looks, brain, potenail; what is there to not like?"

Adam blushed "Well thank you, but what do you mean potential?" He asked taking a step toward her.

"As you get older you will only get cuter and you have proven that no matter what side your on that you make them a force to be reckoned with."

"Until I made that mistake." Adam said looking down convincingly guiltly.

Vanessa placed a hand under his chin so he was forced to look at her almost nose to nose. "Hey, we all make mistakes the difference is that in this line of work mistakes have bigger consequences. You need to get over it."

"I guess you're right." Adam admitted looking her in the eyes.

"See, you just needed the right person to talk to. Now, Adam how do you feel about me?" She asked not backing away.

Adam hesitated in uncertainty. "Adam, you're not really thinking about this are you?" Said Candace disbelieving voice in his ear.

"I don't know what to think." Adam said to both of them.

Vanessa looked down looking sad. While she looked down Adam pulled his earbud out and put it in his pocket then turned to Vanessa.

"Hey, Vanessa it's just suprising is all." Adam said tilting her head up to look at him again and noticing she had very pretty eyes. They seemed to draw him in a little

"So, I might have a chance?" Vanessa asked.

"Yeah, you might." Adam said as she leaned a little closer.

"Even with Felicity?"

"Yeah, even with Felicity."

"Well, that really makes me feel better." Vanessa said with a smile.

"I'm glad it does." Adam said blushing as he noticed how hard it was to look away from her.

Back in the room Felicity 1 found best suited for training, the two Felicities were well at it.

"So, you're finally official?" Felicity 1 said.

Felicity pointed to her ear and mouthed 'We're being listened to.' knoing that she can read lips. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"My mistake I was thinking of someone else. Forgive me I'm tired."

"It's ok, happens to the best of us, so, what are we suppose to be learning?" Felicity asked her counterpart.

"Do you want to learn combat or weapons?"

Felicity thought about it for a second. "Weapons."

"Poisons, blades, or guns?"

"Blades, guns are noisy, poison are traceable." Felicity answered tactically.

"Good tactical mind." Felicity 1 said leading her to a wall of knives

"Thank you." Felicity said looking over the knifes.

"Okay, we'll start with basics then move on to knife throwing."

"Makes sense, you have to crawl before you can run."

"Exactly, so knives it's all about finding what's best for you." Felicity 1 started off

Felicity looked over the knives. "There's a lot more to consider then you'd think: size, weight, blade type." Felicity 1 listed.

"I think I would work better with lighter blades." Felicity said

"Alright." Felicity 1 picked a fairly light knife and handed it to her counterpart. "How's this one feel?"

"Nice and light, but the blade is a bit long."

"Alright then, we wanna find the best one so." Felicity 1 put that knife back and took a better one by her description. "How about this one?"

This one had a more curved blade and was just as light. "Better." She said.

"But is it perfect?" Felicity 1 asked seriously, "The right blade can be the difference between life and death."

"Well it's better, but not quite perfect."

"What would you like differently then?" Felicity 1 asked patiently.

"The curved blade feels right."

"That's good but what about it feels off?" Felicity 1 asked.

"The handle is hard to grip."

"Oh yes, that most definitely is a problem." Felicity 1 took that knife and looked over the other ones quite impressed at how varied the collection is. She found a similar one with a better handle and handed it to her. "Then try this one."

Felicity took is and smiled when she could hold it comfortably. "This is it."

"Perfect then but keep in mind that if you notice something at any point of the training that yo didn't before then let me know and we can come back over here." Felicity 1 offered just in case.

"Good to know, how many should I carry?"

"About three to four on an ordinary day as a precaution Five to Ten on missions depending on that specific mission's demands." Felicity 1 estimated but put different numbers on her figures to throw off Firestorm.

"Good to know, so how did you get us here so fast?"

"I have super-speed." Felicity said as if it was normal. "Superstregnth, too."

"You do? That's amazing!" Felicity said enviously.

"Yeah, until you know where they came from." Felicity 1 said as her hand subconsciously went up to one of the holes in her head which are always covered by her hair. "Just, don't ask."

"Oh, I'm sorry if it's something that's touchy for you." She said awkwardly.

"It's ok, you couldn't have known." Felicity 1 said looking down.

"Still."

"Let's just focus on training." Felicity 1 said before realizing she had lost her train of thought. "Where were we again?"

"How many knives to carry." Felicity said.

"Oh right, so, the nice thing about knives is that their extremely versatile, if the target's far away you could throw it but if they're near by you can just stab them."

"Nice!"

"The stabbing seems pretty straight forward but you wanna do in discretely so they have less time to react."

"Okay, what's the best way?"

"There are five main things you wanna keep in mind from when you draw the knife till the moment of impact: you wanna try to keep it close to your body, you need to keep the blade from being exposed to light because it will instantly reflect it, contrary to popular belief you wanna use slow and smooth movements because quick movements instantly attract anyone's eye, try and distract with unarmed attacks, and finally, know the human body, a non-fatal attake is a wasted one then, guess what? They know you have a knife. Understood?" Felicity 1 explained.

"Yes ma'am." Felicity said.

"So, how about you put away the knife and practice the just the draw."

"Quick draw?"

"Didn't I just say not to do it quickly?"

"You just told me to practice my quick draw."

"No, I just told you to practice drawing it out. A quick draw is quick by definition, that's why they call it a quick draw." Felicity said.

"Oh right, sorry..."

"So, stow your knife and try taking it out discretely the way I told you to."

"Yes ma'am." Felicity grumbled. She put the knife through her belt loop well hidden and withdrew it being mindful of all of her counterparts tips.

"Good."

"Okay, so what next?" Felicity asked.
