WOW thanks so much for reading my story

And thanks to the best translator NIAGARAWEASEL or my nickname for her NIAGARASMOAK ;)

Oliver sat beside her on the bed.

"Oliver, I was there, back in Central City," Felicity whispered, drawing the blanket closer around her.

"You're safe here, nothing bad can happen to you. Try to get some sleep, I will tell Raisa to put dinner back for us."

Felicity nodded and closed her eyes, only now realizing how exhausted she was. She had hardly slept at all in the past ten days. Oliver stayed beside her until he heard her breathing become deep and regular.

When the CEO came back to the entrance hall, Diggle was waiting for him. "Oliver, where have you been all afternoon? I was supposed to pick you up from QC at six, you weren't there and you didn't answer my calls!"

Oliver pulled a face. "Damn, I'm sorry, I forgot."

Diggle was visibly angry. "You forgot? Oliver, I'm responsible for your safety! I tried calling Felicity, but she doesn't answer her phone either. Have you heard from her?"

"She went to sleep a few minutes ago", Oliver answered, slipping into his leather jacket and grabbed his helmet. The bodyguard looked at him in confusion. "She is here? What happened?"

"Dig, it's a long story and one I don't have time for right now. Do me a favor and watch over her."

Oliver left the mansion and climbed on the motorbike parked in the driveway. As he started the motor, he felt the rage welling up inside of him. All day he had managed to suppress the hate along with all other emotions, but now there was no holding back. All the way to Verdant he drove at a reckless pace, ignoring pretty much all speed limits, red lights and stop signs on the way.

Once inside, Oliver shed his jacket and shirt and started to train. Again and again images flickered before his eyes… Edward Smoak touching Felicity.. her terrified eyes… The man wouldn't leave Starling City alive. Even if Oliver had sworn to stop killing to honor Tommy's memory, they weren't talking about a human being here, but about a monster, who had molested the woman he loved. Gripping the bamboo sticks in his hands tighter, Oliver stopped for a moment and closed his eyes. Once again he saw Felicity and Edward Smoak, shaking his hand with a smile on his face. With an enraged cry, Oliver shattered the glass case containing his equipment.

When Diggle entered the basement of Verdant, he stopped on the stairs and watched as Oliver overturned the desk and proceeded to shatter another case.

"I don't think Felicity will be too happy with the chaos you created here", he said, making his presence known. Panting, Oliver whirled around and yelled angrily at him. "Didn't I tell you to stay with Felicity?"

The bodyguard walked down the remaining steps and answered calmly. "She's with Raisa in the kitchen, eating Paella. Oliver, she told me what happened. I'm here as your friend, it's 3 am, you've been gone for hours and Felicity is worried about you."

4 hours? Had he really been training for that long? Then why didn't he feel any better? Why hadn't his rage lessened at least a little? Oliver looked at Diggle, astonished. "She told you?"

"Hey, I know how you feel, and believe me, I'm just as furious. Felicity means a lot to me, too."

Oliver closed his eyes, a muscle in his jaw jumping. "Believe me, Diggle, you have no idea how I feel."

Diggle took off his jacket and shirt and grabbed two bamboo sticks. "Then show me."

Oliver went over to the training mat and a vicious sparring match developed between the two men. Oliver channeled all of his aggression into his attacks and Diggle had a hard time to block them. An hour later, Oliver finally felt his rage lessen. He grabbed two towels and threw one to his friend, before slumping to the floor. Diggle sat down beside him and handed him a water bottle.

"I will find him, Diggle, and I will kill him", Oliver said, his voice calm and controlled.

The bodyguard put down his own water bottle and nodded. "I'll have your back."

"Thanks."

"Did you already run the data through the computer?"

"No, my first priority was Felicity, she was really bad off. How was she when you saw her?" Oliver asked his friend.

"She had a nightmare, but she seemed composed when she told me what had happened. Oliver, she's strong, she'll get through this." Diggle put his hand on Oliver's shoulder. "Go to her, I'll see what I can find out about Edward Smoak. I'll let you know when I find anything."

Oliver nodded and put his shirt back on. "Thanks, Dig."

"No problem. Remember…. Team Arrow", Diggle said with a smile.
