Oliver didn't care that he broke Felicity's door down. What he did care about was that this is the first time he's in her home and she has completely led him to believe that his enemy from Lian Yu was gone from Starling City. When he saw that Slade Wilson was still in Starling City, the truth hit him in the face with a force.

"I can't believe you lied to me Felicity." Oliver yelled at her just inches away from her face. "I trusted you." He says with so much anger. "Why, Felicity? What has he got on you that you would invite him to your house and the way he waltzed out of here I could just..." Oliver stopped talking when Felicity cut in.

"How dare you come in here like that Oliver!" Felicity spat right back by poking him in the chest. "You don't know the whole story!" Felicity said moving away from being in front of him.

"Well why don't you enlighten me? Or are you just going to tell me another lie?" Oliver proceeded to walk away from her back towards the entrance he just smashed to the ground.

Diggle was waiting there with a grimace and his stance completely sagged from all the energy that was just put forth by his team. Digg couldn't stand to see his partners in distress. He needed to defuse the situation.

"Oliver, stop with the sarcasm and sit down. We are going to talk this out now. All of us. We are a team. We need to act like one." Diggle said while maintaining eye contact with both of them.

Diggle silently asked if they could sit down and Felicity nodded. She did the same but, she was sitting at her kitchen counter. Away from the rage Oliver was emitting.

Diggle became the mediator and left his mind open to hear Felicity out on the entire matter. She hadn't led them astray so far during all their missions. He didn't think she would start now.

"I know how this looks. But, I didn't have a choice. It all comes down to my family." Felicity starts out. "I thought we were your family, Felicity." Oliver says lowly after calming down from the heated battle before.

"You two are my family. But, in order for this plan to go ahead I need to have complete focus on the task at hand. I know you want to help me but, I just can't let you." Felicity says with her head lowering. Eyes looking to her damaged door.

"Look at me Felicity. I will fix the door. Why won't you let us help you? We would do anything for you." Oliver said and Diggle agreed by silently nodding when she looked back at the both of them.

"My family are basically ghosts, Oliver. My father and mother are being kept hidden by Slade because there are people after them. He's the only one who knows where they are. If I grant him a little bit of my trust, I can hopefully get to see them again."

She states while standing up from her couch to go and clean up the mess at the front entrance.

Oliver immediately stood up and stopped her before she got any closer to the damage. "We will help you. This is me Felicity. You have Diggle. We are in this together."

He caresses her shoulders to comfort her in this trying time. "Why is Slade helping you though? What does he need from you?"

Oliver asks her hoping she knows the answer so he can finish this sooner rather than later. "I don't know. That's the confusing part." Felicity says to the both of them.


Slade Wilson noticed the car looming just a little further away from where he was parked by Felicity's house. Slade knew what he was doing. Leaving from the front entrance was his intention.

He sped away from her house but, didn't go far. He wanted to make it seem as if he left. All the while his suspicions of Oliver being stationed outside Felicity Smoak's house came true.

He saw Oliver lose all control as he ran up her steps and kicked the door down. That's when he knew his first step in the plan was done.

It didn't matter what went on in there. The fact of the matter is Slade Wilson had visited her home before Oliver. Her supposed partner in team arrow.

The seeds he was planting were growing nicely in Starling City. He can be free to walk around the streets now without the fear of Oliver knowing his true plans.

Slade was feeling quite indestructible now with how smoothly things were going for him. Everything had to be thought out carefully and having the Mirakuru in him helped Slade greatly in achieving his ultimate goal.

He knew he was leading Felicity on. But, Slade couldn't deny the few times he's been around her that she has affected him to his core. He had to make sure now more than ever that his head was in his own game.

If things progressed with Felicity and became real he would deal with them when it happens. Right now, all he was thinking about was calculating Oliver's next movie.


After the darkness that was the island, Oliver always made sure to trust his gut instincts and his instinct told him that he needed to end Slade Wilson once and for all.

He would not let Felicity be in Slade's vicinity any longer. Slade will have seen the last of Felicity that night. Finally being in Felicity's house under these circumstances was extremely troubling to him.

The fact that he had never gone over there even as a friendly gesture is just not sitting well with him now. He has to compete with someone who wasn't even human anymore.

Someone who was once a comrade. It didn't escape Oliver that a woman has come in between them. A woman who means a great deal to Oliver and the team.

He has so much anger that he doesn't know what to do with it anymore. He is out of options. He has come to the conclusion that he needs to kill Slade. All over again.
