Felicity sat in her desk at the QC, replaying the night before in her mind. After Oliver got that letter from Scarecrow they went to the foundry to warn Diggle, Roy and Sara. None of them knew who the hell was Scarecrow or why was he so hell bent on revenge against them. And the worst of all was that none of them knew what to do next. Whoever Scarecrow was, he was really good at being a ghost, not leaving any trails for them to follow and no way to ID him.
"Ms. Smoak." The voice broke Felicity out of her thoughts.
"Hey, sorry. Hello." She said shyly when she saw Jonathan. "Sorry, Mr. Crane, but Mr. Queen has a meeting right now and then a lunch break."
Jonathan just laughed and looked at her like she was the only source of light in this dark world, which sent butterflies in her stomach. "Wow, he sure knows how to charm a girl." Felicity thought to herself.
"I'm not here for Mr. Queen."
"Uhm, you're not?"
"No, I'm here for you." Their eyes met and she smiled. "Would you like to grab coffee with me, Felicity?"
"I would love to. I just have to tell Oliv-, I mean Mr. Queen. Because he's my boss, that's the only reason, really. Not that you would think that there are other reasons, I'm just gonna shut up now." Felicity face palmed herself mentally. Instead of waiting for Oliver she just left him a note that said: "Going out for a coffee with someone.
-Felicity".
"Ready to go?"
"I'm ready." Jonathan handed her her coat and she smiled at him, hoping he was into her as much as she was into him.
"How about you stay here and I'll go order for us?" Jonathan asked once they settled in a café.
"Sure."
Felicity bit her lower lip and tried hard not to think about Jonathan. He was just a friend, that's all. Right? And she loved Oliver, there's that. But every time she tries to be there for him he pushes her away. He didn't love her as much as she loved him. He loved her like a friend or a sister. At least that's what she thought. She was so confused about all of this that she didn't even notice that it took Jonathan a lot longer than it should have.
"Here you go." Jonathan handed her a cup of coffee interrupting her in her thoughts.
"Thanks."
After her coffee with Jonathan she went back to QC for a while before going to the foundry with Oliver.
"Any leads on Scarecrow?" Oliver asked as soon as they were in the foundry.
"No. Nothing." Diggle replied.
"It's like that dude is a ghost or something." Roy added.
"And he's probably paranoid since he, so cleverly, used letter instead of e-mail or text message." Sara concluded.
"So now what?" Felicity was already at her computers.
"Now we wait for him to make another move." Oliver went over to Felicity and put his hand on her shoulder. "And we continue the work like nothing happened, okay?" She silently nodded so he continued. "Can you find me some criminals?"
"Funny you should ask, there's just a robbery in progress- owww." Felicity screamed when she saw a huge spider on her desk.
"What's wrong, Felicity?" He squeezed her shoulder in a reassuring way and she could hear a hint of worry in his voice.
"Nothing, it's just, there was a huge spider. How did you not see it?"
"Don't tell me you're afraid of a little spider?" Roy snorted out.
"It wasn't little!" She tried to ignore Roy's laughter and Diggle's grin. "Now, go, all of you, there are at least 3 armed robbers there."
They all left, leaving Felicity alone in the foundry with comms on so she could navigate them.
About 30 minutes, right when they arrived to the crime scene, Felicity felt the ground beneath her shake. At first it was a slight shake that didn't bother her but then it just started to be stronger that it reminded her of the night of the Undertaking. But real danger started when she heard a crack and she saw the walls beginning to break down, threatening to bury her alive under them. But it wasn't until the debris started falling on her that she screamed and threw her comms. She hid the desk when the walls cracked open and heavy pieces fell all around her. "Please help me. Someone please."
"Felicity?! FELICITY?" Oliver heard her scream over the comms and now she wasn't replying. Images of her hurt or dying flashed his mind and he thought of the worst. "You guys take care of this, I'm gonna make sure she's okay." He turned his bike and went straight to the foundry, hoping everything was alright with her. "Felicity? Can you hear me? Please, answer me." He rushed to the foundry.
"Felicity, where are you? Please, Felicity, answer me." He came to the foundry in record time and released the breath he didn't even know he was holding when he saw her on the floor, under the desk sobbing, but she was alive and that's all that mattered to him. "Hey, Felicity, what happened? Are you hurt? Did someone break in? What's wrong? Are you okay?" He reached for her, pulling her closer to him, to make sure she was safe and unharmed.
"I-I was back there." She sobbed, her eyes were still closed. She was too afraid to open them.
"Back where? Where were you?"
"On the day of the Undertaking. I thought I was going to die under the collapsed foundry." When she finally opened her eyes, they widened in shock when she saw that there was no debris, walls weren't broken or cracked, everything was fine. "I don't understand. There was an earthquake, the building was falling. Debris was everywhere." Oliver looked at her confused. What was she talking about? He asked himself. "I swear, Oliver. I'm not lying. I swear." She caught his confused look and sobbed even more. He was going to think she was crazy.
"Hey, no look at me." He cupped her face. "I believe you, okay. I believe you. I do." He pulled her closer to himself and hugged her tightly. "It's going to okay. Everything's going to be fine. You're safe now." Oliver whispered those reassuring words in her ear until she stopped sobbing and rest of the team came back. He nodded to them that everything was okay. "We are going to talk about this tomorrow, okay? Right now I'm going to take her home."
He watched as she was screaming, defending herself from nothing, just fighting against the thin air. He smirked to himself, she was clearly in emotional pain and that was just his goal. He removed his gaze from the screen on which Felicity was now crying under the desk to the drug that he slipped into her drink. He felt pride overwhelm his whole body. "This is just a beginning." He thought to himself and started writing a letter.
"Dear Miss Smoak,
I hope you enjoyed your little hallucinations as much I enjoyed seeing you suffer from them. Consider this my little gift for you. And remember I can get to you anytime and anywhere.
-Scarecrow"
