Felicity's P.O.V.
in gotham getting ready for the gala
'why am i going through with this with this again? oh right they don't know but i can't tell them not now maybe not ever' my mind wanders back to the reason that we're here
FLASHBACK
palmer tech
"wait did you just agree to go to gotham and ask for help" i ask in shock "felicity's got a point ollie you never agree to ask for help so quickly" "i know sara but we've been after this guy for 2 and a half weeks and we're not even close to getting him we're starting to need all the help we can get" " we can help to" thea mutters angrily "speedy" oliver's cut off by thea " no we have gotten better and you just said 'we need all the help we can get' well you have laurel and i we can help" "sorry to interrupt but the invite is for felicity and i only but 2 of you can go as our plus ones" ray says to stop the fight that will inevitably happen and get us back on track "i'm going" thea says determinedly "okay you can be my plus one felicity who's gonna be yours?" i think about this for a few seconds before i decide who "sara" roy looks kinda sad "man blondie i was hoping to go to gotham" "why to find batman" thea says not actually expecting such a serious "yes" in response "ok sorry to burst your bubble but how do we know if he's even real" laurel says looking mildly pissed off "i heard some rumors when i was in afghanistan from a buddy of mine said he saved him and his brother moved like a shadow if he didn't witness it he never would've believed it" once digg finishes putting voice in on the matter sara pipes in "ra's has an uneasy alliance with him the league stays out of gotham he stays out of the league's business" "ok so felicity, thea, sara and ray are going to gotham and how are you going to find him?" "well we got a tech genius that i'm sure can find pattern or something to help us right cutie" sara says as she walks over to me and wraps an arm around my shoulders i inwardly cringe only one person can call me that and bring a smile to my face everyone else just makes me cringe but nevertheless i smile and nod my head enthusiastically and say "yep i've been dieing to try this new mapping program i've been working on" "great so felicity will use her mapping program and we'll patrol gotham" thea says excitedly and and before oliver can protest thea being out in the field sara stands up for her "ollie i know you don't want thea out in the field but it's her choice she's going to do it whether you like it or not but if you keep telling her no she will go out by herself and get hurt or worse killed but this way we'll be able to keep an eye on her" "fine but do what they say when they say got it speedy" "got it ollie" thea replies excited that she can finally go out in the field "so i'm going to use my new algorithm to see if i can find batman" "or his friends" roy chimes in "right or his friends while you guys patrol areas i give you " "yep" ray confirmed popping the 'p' "okay so if that's i'll just head home then" nobody protests so i grab my stuff and heads towards the door to leave when i do i release a breath i didn't know i was holding i press the down button for the elevator i don't have to wait long for it i step in and press the button for the parking garage dreading the call i have to make not because i hate the person i'm going to call the opposite i love them it's the reason i'm calling that i hate The elevator stops and opens the door and i take a deep breath And walk to my car while looking for My keys and phone By the time I reach my car I found both so i unlock my car and slide into the driver's seat I close the door and put my purse in the passenger seat and turn the car on I take a deep breath and dial the number I know by heart It rings for 2 seconds before a male voice answers "Hey fliss I didn't think I'd hear from you so soon" "I'm not calling for you now please put him on the phone" i hear a deep sigh from the other end "fine" Then I hear some shouting and cursing " here he is I should warn you he's in one of his moods" I roll my eyes "Hey Felicity" A smile immediately takes over my face " Hey I need to tell you guys something and before you interrupt just listen" "fine" "Good so apparently the electrocutioner is in Star City team arrow plus ray have been trying to catch him and after tonight's unccessful attempt to get him ray apperantly had set up a search a few weeks ago to find anything like his MO And found the GCPD reports about him from 1998 And roy and ray figured that batman might have Had Something to do with it so ray, thea, Sara and I Are heading to Gotham-" "and using his gala as cover as to why you're there" He finishes "yep" I hear him take a deep breath before he says something "this is the kind of thing you don't wait one day before telling someone" "I thought you saw my name on the guest list" I ask kind of confused "yes I saw your name on the guest list but I'm talking about the trying to find batman part" I'm about to say something about the gala being a last minute decision but he says something first "and don't say something about the gala being a last minute decision" "you know me too well and that means you also know that i would call to tell you the second i got a phone and a private place to speak" "your right, thanks for the heads up" "you're welcome i would love to chat but-" i get cut off again by him finishing my sentence "you have to pack why do you put it off till the last minute ?" "i don't know see you later" i hear a slight chuckle "goodbye felicity" "bye" and i hang up and start to drive home mentally putting a list of stuff i have to pack.
