This fanfiction is mostly going to continue to center around Oliver William and Felicity!

Reviews are appreciated! I read and try to reply to all!

Enjoy!

"We're clear!" Green Arrow yelled as he shot a rope arrow around a bank robber trying to run away. Spartan threw a man to the ground and ran to Oliver.

"Tell me again why you wanted to take down street level thugs. The police could be all over this."

"It's been quiet and to be honest I missed this." Oliver explained. "Also it's been awhile since it's been just the three of us." He added.

"I totally agree. The OG team arrow is back in business." Felicity added happily through comms.

"Overwatch do you read any other heat signatures?" Green Arrow asked.

"No you're clear, i'll inform SCPD you've got them gift wrapped for them." Felicity said.

An hour later Oliver and Felicity were walking towards Oliver's loft which happened to be in the same building as Felicity's.

"So I wonder if they fixed the water at my place yet?" Felicity asked sarcastically. "Horrible cover up by the way."

"I had like two seconds to come up with something, plus William will believe anything if it's early in the morning." Oliver half-heartedly defended himself as they stepped inside the building and into an elevator.

"I think that last time you checked on your place the bedroom and kitchen were still filled with water." Oliver said while laughing.

"It has only been a day…" Felicity added on, supporting their ruse. "Does William even know we live literally two floors away from each other?"

"Nope. Not at all." Oliver laughed.

"I'm surprisingly fine with that." Felicity laughed alongside him.

A second later the door opened. The two slowly walked out of the elevator, relishing the time alone. Oliver came to his apartment door and unlocked it. Holding the door open for Felicity.

Thea looked up from her spot on the couch, her face buried in a magazine. She looked up as they walked in the door.

"Hey. You two?" Thea looked quizzingly at Felicity.

Oliver gave Thea a reassuring look. "Her place is still flooded. She's staying here for a few days, with me and William."

"Oliver, she's not stupid." Felicity stated flatly.

Thea laughed. "I'm happy for you Ollie, I really am." She hugged him tightly. "I'm glad you two are finally working things out, and Felicity is right. I'm not stupid. Don't try ling to me mister."

"Thank you." Felicity whispered as Thea hugged her as well.

"How's William?" Oliver asked.

"He fell asleep about an hour and a half ago." She looked to the clock, it read twelve-thirty.

"No nightmares?" Oliver continued.

"None yet. Let's hope for the best." Thea said. She gathered her things and headed to the doorway. "Tomorrow's sunday, maybe you should take a day off and spend it together. All three of you." Thea snickered and walked out the door, shutting it behind her.

A few minutes later Oliver and Felicity were in the bed next to each other, cuddling as they used too, both of them happy for once.

"This is nice. Felicity curled closer too him. Just being next to you, makes me so happy."

Oliver kissed her forehead. "I feel exactly the same ."

"You know, i've always been on the fence about this whole thing. The ordeal with William and then chase. I feel now that that's all behind us now. We finally have nothing between us." Felicity said. "No secrets."

"I promise from now on, I won't keep anything from you ever." Oliver assured her. "The farther apart we are the worse off I am. You're my light."

"I'll hold you to that." Felicity promised him, pressing her lips against his.

The both pulled apart, taking a deep breath.

Suddenly they both heard a scream coming from William's room.

Oliver immediately rushed out of the bed, towards William's room. Felicity quickly followed. Luckily both were still in pajamas.

Oliver swung Williams' door open, The boy was tossing and turning in his bed, covers thrown off. "No.. no, please stay away." He whispered with his eyes glued shut.

Oliver rushed to him, gathering him in his arms "William. William it's okay. It's Oliver. Listen to my voice. Focus on it." Oliver repeated as he rocked back and forth.

Felicity stood, leaning on the door frame, taking in the side of Oliver she hardly ever saw.

Gradually William's eyes opened, his head darted back and forth as he took in his surroundings, easing a bit when he saw Oliver's face.

"I thought they were getting better…" He choked out. He glanced at Felicity but acted as if her being there didn't bother him.

"C'mon" Oliver gently helped William, who was still in shock, out of the bed. "Let's get you calmed down. He wrapped an arm around the trembling boy's shoulder, William wrapped an arm around Oliver's torso in response and let himself be led out of the room.

Felicity stepped out the way to let them pass.

Oliver saw the worry in her eyes and grabbed her hand as he passed, letting her know he wanted her with him. Felicity followed them down the stairs.

"Sit down buddy. "I'll bring you some warm milk." Oliver said.

William nodded and headed towards the couch.

Felicity looked at Oliver. He nodded toward William, silently asking her for a big favor.

She walked over to where William was curled up and sat beside him.

"It okay if I sit here?" She asked.

"Sure." William murmured, nodding. .

Felicity decided to take a risk. Slowly she slid her hand across the towards William's. Gradually, she led her hand into his. When William didn't jerk away she grasped his hand gently and slid closer. "I'm not going to pretend I know what you're going through right now but I will tell you i've been through hard times like these. You've got a great man trying his best to be there for you and if you like, i'd love to be there for you too." Felicity said, glancing toward Oliver who was warming up William's glass of milk, William followed her gaze.

"I'd like that. I'd like that a lot." William said quietly. "In some ways you kind of remind me of my mom." He blushed.

Felicity's heart almost skipped a beat. She'd been so afraid William would reject her or hate her. Hearing those words comforted her more than almost anything.

Oliver walked over, handing William the glass and sitting beside him. "I know it's the middle of the night but do you think you're ready to talk about it?" Oliver asked, afraid of pushing him before he was ready.

"Yeah." William looked to both Oliver and Felicity. "I feel like I am. It feels like the right time."

A few minutes later Oliver and Felicity were both on the couch, William sitting comfortably between them. "So what exactly have you been seeing in your nightmares?" Oliver asked.

William opened his mouth as if to speak then shut it again, seeming to be afraid.

"Whatever it is. You can tell us." Felicity laid her hand on his leg. "Were not going to judge you. We care about you Will.

Oliver gave him a caring look.

William took a deep breath and began. "Sometimes I see Adrian. Were back on the boat right when you rescued me. I hear the gunshot and then the island explodes but that one's not as bad as the others... " William trails off.

"What others?" Oliver asks hesitantly.

William sighed and brought his knees to his chest.

"I know it's scary but if anything is going to get better. If you are going to get better we need to talk about them." Oliver pressed.

"What else do you see?" Felicity added.

"The day he took me. I was getting off the bus stop. He said he was a friend of my dad's and walked home with me. He said he wanted to talk to my mom. I thought he was a bit weird but I didn't know what else to do. When we got there a bunch of people dressed in black grabbed my mom and took her away. Then Adrian grabbed me, covered my mouth and dragged me away." William's voice trailed off. "That's the last time I saw her." His voice was barely a whisper.

Oliver and Felicity slowly drew closer to him. Oliver laying an arm of his shoulders, entwining his fingers with Felicity's. "You know something i've learned over the years, is to remember your family for what they were to you. Samantha cared for you, she loved you and was always there when you needed her." Oliver said.

"When we were on Lian Yu all she talked about was getting back to you, finding you. Nothing else mattered to her."

William pulled his knees even closer. "I just miss her so much."

"A friend once taught me something. Close your eyes Will."

William looked at Oliver with confusion but hesitantly closed his eyes. "Every time you close your eyes, every time you sleep, every time you're lonely just close your eyes and you'll see her. She'll always be watching over you, like a guardian angel. She's still with you will and always will be."

A few seconds later William had something on his face. A smile. Oliver was glad that adrian didn't steal it from him.

"I see her. I really see her." William opened his eyes and looked at Oliver." "Thanks Oli- Dad" The word seemed weird to William, almost scary.

Oliver's face when he heard that was a mix of terror, happiness, and relief.

"I'm not sure if i'm ready for that word yet…" William said.

Oliver quickly wrapped him in a hug, wanting to cherish the moment. "That's fine, take as long as you need."

"You know most of his friend's call him Ollie." Felicity said, smiling.

"Ollie?" William contemplated the word. "I like it, for now at least." He chuckled.

Oliver quickly added Felicity to their hug, silently thanking her.

Oliver glanced over to the clock, two in the morning. "You need to get some rest." Oliver said to the boy as he stood up from the couch, William tiredly did the same.

"We all do." Felicity added.

"Good night you guys... " William said sluggishly and headed up the stairs.

"I'll meet you upstairs." Oliver whispered to Felicity and hurried after William, easily meeting him at the top of the stairs. "Are you going to be okay tonight?"

Surprisingly William looked up and him, smiling. "For once, yeah, I think I will." William concluded. "For tonight at least." William gave Oliver an unknowing look.

Oliver stood at the top of the stairs, watching his son finally achieve some sort of peace.

Felicity came behind him and gently laid her chin on his shoulder. "You did good tonight. He seems a little fuller than he had before."

"You're wrong." Oliver admitted. "We did good tonight. He trusts you, he likes you. I'm his father but you're his friend. So thank you Felicity." Oliver pulled her close.

"I'll promise you one thing. I'll be whatever he wants me to be." Felicity quickly kissed him.

"I was thinking." Oliver said as he and Felicity crawled into bed. "Maybe we should go to Central City tomorrow. Maybe go to his old home, I did a bit of research. No One has purchased it since they left. We can go and get some old stuff they might've left behind."

"That' Oliver Queen, is the best idea you've ever had."
