The Team didn't stop at all on the three hour drive, for Oliver it was thoughts of Felicity that kept him going. When he saw her she looked broken and the bruises on her wrists made him more than angry, Oliver didn't even look back to check if the others were keeping up with him; Sara on her bike and Roy with Diggle in the car.

I'm coming Felicity! Just hold on a little longer! He vowed as he revved his bike and went even faster.

They found the medical centre and pulled up their vehicles far enough away so they wouldn't be seen and went closer on foot. There weren't many guards but there didn't need to be because there were so many lights on. Oliver crept closer, avoiding the guards and approached a window and peered in; there was nothing inside. They didn't have time for this!
Oliver went back to Sara, Diggle and Roy and told them to stay there, wait for him and if they felt something went wrong to come in after him. They agreed and stayed where they were while Oliver took out the guards and went inside.

It was like any other medical centre, same smell and feel but Oliver knew better, somewhere Felicity was at the mercy of her crazy father getting drugged. He gripped his bow tighter as he turned a corner and heard Felicity, her voice was muffled but still he knew it was her "Please, no more testing! I can't take it anymore!"
I'm here Felicity! Oliver pulled an arrow from his quiver and notched it, advancing to the door and kicked it down letting his arrow fly to the nearest man.

Adam Ryde and his assistant spun round as The Arrow approached them, Adam pulled the curtain across to hide Felicity and opened his arms in a friendly gesture "Arrow! How nice to see you!"

"Where is Felicity!?"

"You'll see her soon, in 30 minutes she'll be cured and as perfect as she always should have been" Adam said confidently

"You prick" The Arrow let another arrow fly through the air and hit on of the doctors hands, intentionally missing his body, Oliver didn't want him dead yet "she was already perfect!" he roared and sprang forward, smacking his fist into Adam's face and sending him to the ground. The assistant took one look behind the curtain, then at the Arrow and ran out of the room.

"O-O-Oliver?" Felicity's voice was weak yet it hit Oliver like a freight train, Oliver pulled back the curtain to see Felicity strapped down to the bed, a drip connected to one arm and another bag of purple liquid connected to the other; 'the cure' Oliver knew.
Felicity could have laughed, she was so happy to see her knight in green leather "Oliver, you came for me!"

"I'm going to get you out of here" Oliver broke the straps and lifted Felicity gently into his arms, Felicity cradled into him and sighed his name like a prayer.

"I found her" Oliver said into his ear piece "we're coming out now" Oliver held Felicity tight as he made his way to the door. Oliver gasped in surprise as hands grabbed him and pulled him down; Oliver reluctantly dropped Felicity who rolled away calling his name.
Oliver started to fight back, punching and kicking as his attackers and trying to locate Felicity at the same time.

Adam held his injured hand, ordering one of his men to hold Felicity who screamed for Oliver to be let go "restrain her again and kill him!" he spat in a manic voice as The Arrow was finally held down

"NO!" Felicity yanked herself free "TAKE ME! Take me and let him go!"

Adam and Oliver both turned to look at Felicity "What?" Adam asked "You mean it?"

"No Felicity!" Oliver's cry was met with another punch to the face

"You heard me! Let him go and I will go with you! You can test on me for as long as you want just please let him go! If you let him go he won't come after you!" her voice shrieked as one man landed a punch to Oliver's stomach "I promise I'll be yours" she shrieked trying to get to her friend

Adam couldn't stand his daughter screams anymore, they annoyed him and he had work to do, with the Arrow out of the way he might actually get it done "Alright!" he gave in "I let him go and you're mine!"

"YES! Yes, I'm yours" Felicity ran to Oliver as Adam's men let him go, she clung to him but then looked back at her father "can I say goodbye before we go?"

"You have one minute" Adam gestured for his men to leave them and followed them out.

Felicity looked into Oliver's eyes hoping to see gratitude but desperation and anger were the only things looking back at her "Felicity" Oliver grabbed her and held her tight "what do you think you're doing!"

Felicity broke out of his grip "Saving you" she said pointedly

"You can't stay here with him!"

"I can't let you get hurt for me, Oliver" Felicity kept her eyes on his as Oliver stood up, towering over her but not to intimidate her

"And I won't have you stay here and be treated like a lab rat by a mad man! You're coming with me now" Oliver took her forearm and half dragged Felicity to the door "be careful, glass" he pointed to the floor making sure that Felicity didn't step in any since she wasn't wearing shoes

"No Oliver! You're always protecting me; it's my turn to protect you" Felicity pulled away

"Fel-li-ci-ty!" Oliver turned to her and stared into her eyes holding her at arm's length yet still with a firm grip "I cannot lose you to Adam" the sound of footsteps coming closer told him that they would have company in a matter of seconds. Just when the door swung open Felicity flung her arms around his neck and kissed him with all that she had.
Oliver kissed her back, crushing her to his body and matching her passion for passion.

Adam's men had come back and pulled them apart as Adam came back into the room, a rough bandage around his hand, he grabbed Felicity with his one good hand and started pulling her to the door; giving orders for Oliver to be killed.
Felicity began to fight back and tried everything from kicking to scratching and even biting her father to get to Oliver.

A bullet raced through the air, the bang drowning out Felicity's screams as it planted itself in Oliver's chest "NO! OLIVER!" Felicity slapped Adam hard across the face "you said you would let him go!"

"Things change sweetheart, now come on" he pulled her through the doorway and ignored her feeble attempts to get away "don't fight, you'll only hurt yourself"

Felicity heard a bird's cry, a grunt and several bullets from behind them: the rest of Team Arrow had come to save her too! Felicity tried one last time to get away, she raked her nails into Adam's arm and smiled when she hollered in pain, Adam pushed her hard against the wall and gripped her neck "I told you sweetie! I told you that you'd hurt yourself" he pulled out a syringe

"NO! NO! HELP! OLIVER! SARA I'M HERE!"

Adam pushed the syringe deep into her arm and watched as her eyes became unfocused and her grip on him lessened until she finally let go and crumpled to the ground at his feet. Adam bent down to pick her up, unceremoniously hoisting her up into his arms and running off with her.

Just when Adam got to his car, Sara caught up with him and belted him with her staff, Adam dropped Felicity and tried to punch her feeling happy when he landed one. Sara gave him one good swift kick and sent him flying over the car where she heard a satisfying thud and then nothing. Sara gathered Felicity in her arms on the ground "OLIVER, DIG, ROY I HAVE HER! WE'RE HERE!" She called to her team mates.

Oliver was the first to reach them along with Roy and Dig who stayed back a ways in caser more men showed up, Oliver tilted Felicity's face "I feel a pulse but she's unconscious, we have to get her out of here" he looked around "Where's Adam Ryde?"

"I knocked him out" Sara helped Oliver carry Felicity away "I don't think he'll be bothering us"

Roy made a sound and pointed to the car, Adam and woken up and was now madly driving away, Oliver cursed himself and asked why he hadn't taken a look himself because you were worried about Felicity a voice in mind answered smartly "we get her safe first and worry about him later"

"But Oliver –" Dig started to say

"LATER!" Oliver roared so loud and with so much pain in his voice that none of the team questioned him any further, they all made their way back to their bikes and car. Oliver wouldn't let Felicity go or take any help offered to carry her until they reached the car some distance away. Roy wordlessly opened the car door for Oliver, he slid into the car with Felicity settled in his lap

"Roy" he said tonelessly

"Yeah?" Roy answered quickly

"You can ride my bike back to Starling"

"Yeah. Sure Oliver" Roy watched as Oliver shut the door and left Sara and Roy outside, Digg was already making his way to the driver side.

Together, Sara and Roy got on the bikes and followed Digg in the car.

Dig watched in the rear-view mirror that Oliver never stopped gently stroking Felicity's hair or cheek, his eyes scanning her body for any physical wounds and his arms wrapping protectively around her. Over and over again all Digg heard was Oliver's promise to Felicity "I'm here Felicity. You're safe. I'm not going to let him hurt you again. I'm here. I'm here" as he gently rocked her.

Team Arrow was whole again for now and that was all that mattered.

A/N: This chapter was supposed to be the first but from Oliver's POV. There are some differences but not much, I didn't want it to be exactly the same. I'm happy with the outcome. TEAM ARROW IS WHOLE AGAIN! …but for how long?
