Over the next few weeks Felicity and Oliver started communicating better. It helped that they were working together a lot. Felicity figured out that Li hired another hacker to track her movements. In order to protect herself she had to make a phone call that she didn't want to. The next day she felt jittery and nauseous. Curtis walked into the Arrowcave and found her eating licorice extremely quickly.

"Hey." He set his bag down and watched as three more strands disappeared. "Are you okay?"

"Not really."

He decided not to ask and simply started training. When Rene and Rory walked in he signaled to them to not ask. Then Oliver and Dig walked in followed by Thea. Oliver noticed Felicity's odd behavior.

"Everything okay?"

She shook her head. Dig tried to take away her licorice and she glared at him.

"Touch it and you loose the arm."

He pulled his hands away. When the elevator dinged they all turned. Noah Kuttler stepped off and looked around impressed.

"You know when you hear the words secret lair I picture more...well secrecy. Tighter security."

Oliver looked at him then turned to Felicity. "Why is he here?"

Noah walked over and waved his hand. "Just here to lend my daughter a hand."

Oliver looked at them. "You told him who I am?"

Noah rolled his eyes. "Oliver I've known for a while. You're not very good with the cover stories."

Felicity looked at Oliver. "If we are going to stop this hacker from finding the gap in the code then I need his help." She then started crying much to Oliver's horror. "And I would appreciate a little support because if Li finds out that I betrayed him he could come after me. And I'm pregnant and I shouldn't have to be worrying if some crazy group off assassins are going to try to kill me."

Thea lightly hit Oliver in the chest before hugging felicity. "It's okay. We're going to figure all of this out."

She helped her sit and had her take some deep breaths. Noah sat down and started typing away. He looked impressed.

"Did you build this system?"

She nodded. "Why?"

"It's genius. The open sourced programing is phenomenal."

She cracked a small smile. "I learned from the best."

They got to work. After a while Noah whistled under his breath.

"It looks like there is a third party server."

Felicity wheeled over to him. "Where?"

He pointed and she groaned. "Great."

Oliver paused and walked over. "What is it?"

"Someone else is hacking the feed."

"Could they be working for Dark Horse?"

Noah shook his head. "I don't think so. I started back tracking the signal and it is coming from Star City."

"Can you find out who it is?"

Felicity nodded. "Working on that now."

She was typing away as quick as she could. She eventually looked up.

"The server is encrypted."

Noah nodded. "I hit a dead end. Whoever hacked this has some serious tech."

"And is seriously good." Her eyes widened and she looked at Oliver. "What if Prometheus is hacking the feed. What if he knows it was me?"

Oliver looked stunned. "Dig!"

Diggle walked over looking confused. "What's up?"

"Can Lyla get A.R.G.U.S. to watch Dark Horses communications?"

"Maybe why?"

"Prometheus knows Felicity stopped the virus."

"You think he'll tell Chang?"

"We can't rule it out."

"I'll call Lyla and fill her in."

Felicity had just gotten home when someone knocked on her door. She groaned and opened the door. Oliver stood there. Her eyebrows shot up.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing yet."

He let himself inside and looked around. She paused before shutting the door and locking it.

"Do you want to tell me what it is that you are looking for?"

"Cameras or listening devices."

"Dig already did a sweep. It's fine."

"I'm just checking."

He finally stopped looking under the furniture and looked at her.

"I'm going to have an agent assigned to you."

"No way."

"Felicity..."

"Don't Felicity me. I have been babysat by A.R.G.U.S agents before and I didn't like it. I can take care of myself."

"But it is not just you anymore. There is the baby to think about."

She sighed. "I don't want any agents."

"Fine then Dig and I will take shifts with the others. Someone will always be outside."

She rolled her eyes. "If it will make you feel better you can stay in the guest room until you catch Prometheus."

He looked taken aback. "Really?"

She nodded. "You'll have to tolerate all the baby stuff in there."

He chuckled. "Okay."

Felicity felt weird having Oliver in the loft again. She knew that it was for the best but the last time they had lived together they had been engaged. Things were extremely awkward between them. Things grew even more awkward a week after he moved in. Felicity was flipping through a book on the couch making faces to herself when he got home from the office. He looked at his watch and then to her.

"I thought you weren't going to be home for another hour?"

"Meeting let out early."

He nodded and set his briefcase down. She made another face and he looked concerned.

"Are you okay?"

"The longest recorded pregnancy was 375 days. If that happens just shoot me with an arrow."

He rolled his eyes and sat down. He caught a look at the cover of her book. "100 things that can go wrong with your pregnancy. Should you be reading that?"

"My mom sent it to me."

"Of course she did."

"Holy crap that heaviest baby born last year weighed 15 pounds and 8 ounces! That really had to hurt."

Oliver rolled his eyes and stood up. "I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay...1 in 8 babies is born with a full set of teeth."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"How do you know?"

"Because I just do!"

Curtis and Felicity were typing away at the computers while Rene watched. Felicity looked at him as he took a huge bite of his three layer Big Belly Burger.

"How can you eat that?"

He shrugged. "Easily."

Curtis rolled his eyes. "If you puke I am not cleaning it up."

Felicity pulled up an new screen and paused. "Woah."

"What do you have?"

Felicity showed him and his eyes widened. "That's...wow."

"Well at least we figured out who he is."

"Yeah but knowing who he is, is only part of the issue."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Felicity stepped off the elevator and looked around. She spotted Quintin Lance and walked over.

"Deputy Mayor Lance."

He turned and grinned. "Felicity." He hugged her gently. "I've missed you."

"Same here."

He pulled away and smiled. "So what brings you here?"

"I was hoping to speak with Oliver for a minute."

"He's in his office." He looked at his watch and groaned. "And I am late for a briefing. It was good to see you."

He walked away and Felicity approached the door to Oliver's office. She paused when she heard him talking. She peaked through the crack in the door and saw him talking with a very attractive woman. She recognized her immediately. Susan Williams from Channel 52. She also knew her from Oliver's Christmas party, she had been his date. She watched as Susan laughed and put her hand on Oliver's arm. Oliver didn't pull away but instead smiled and leaned closer to talk to her. Felicity felt a twinge of jealousy and backed up. She saw that his receptionist was out. She grabbed a notepad and pen and wrote him a note to call her. She then left.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Thea Queen was about to walk into her brother's office when Quintin Lance stopped her.

"He may not be in there. Felicity stopped by."

Thea cocked her brow and opened the door. Oliver was sitting at his desk signing some papers. He looked up.

"Hey Speedy."

Quintin walked in with Thea and spoke to Oliver curious. "I figured you left."

"Why?"

"Felicity came by earlier. Said she needed to talk to you about something."

Oliver cocked his brow. "I haven't seen Felicity today. Maybe Margret talked to her?"

Thea shook her head. "Margret left early. Her son came down with the flu so she needed to get him from school."

Quintin stood, stepped out for a minute and returned with a note. "This was on Margret's desk."

Oliver took it and read,

Oliver, got a lead call me when you have a minute- Felicity

He grabbed his cell and called Felicity she answered and he spoke to her.

"Hey I just got your note. What did you find?"

"I think I know who Prometheus is. Do you remember Justin Claybourne?"

"Yeah he was CEO of Claybourne Pharmaceuticals."

"And he was killed by The Hood."

"His name was on the list. But what does he have to do with Prometheus?"

"Well I pulled up everything I had on Prometheus and noticed that most of his anger towards you involves the list. So I dug back through every name on the list and I found something on Claybourne. When his wife filed for divorce she stated that he was unfaithful and had an illegitimate son."

Oliver sat up straighter. "He did?"

"His name isn't listed on any birth certificates but...I think I found the mother. She was a housekeeper for the Claybourne's and quit after two years. She had a son that same year but all of his birth records have been sealed by someone with serious tech."

"Yeah but that doesn't mean that Claybourne is the father."

"Well if he wasn't then she got an awful generous severance package. She has no reported job and yet she has over 5 million in her bank account. The money was a direct transfer from Claybourne around the time she would have given birth. I'm guessing it was child support."

He stood. "Where can I meet you?"

"I'm in the bunker with Rene."

"I'll be there soon."
