Hello! Thank you for the lovely reviews! I'm so glad you are liking this story. I have really enjoyed writing it! I really meant for this story to be a sad one-shot, so enjoy it as that if you wish. BUT if you want more...I have continued this idea in a new story called Forward. It will most likely be a 5 shot and I'm really excited about it! Just wanted to let everyone following this story know about it. There is a sample below.
Title: Forward
Author: clhardi1
Rating: K+
Warnings: Mention of suicide attempt, depression and military missions (not too graphic)
Pairing: Olicity (Felicity centric in this chapter)
Genre: Angst
Word Count: 5,241
Fandom: Arrow (CW)
Summary: She thought for a brief moment about how awful it was that they were celebrating the leveling of a building full of important technology and several security guards, but she shut that down quickly. She couldn't allow herself to go there, or she would go insane...again.
Disclaimer: Oliver and Felicity do not belong to me, but they do belong with each other. Just making that happen on paper...or my computer, actually.
AN: Okay. Look what you all went and made me do! I specifically said that last chapter was a one shot, now here I am with another chapter a few days later! Honestly, writing multi chaptered fics scares me. I don't want to be one of those frustrating authors who start something and never finish or update once a year. But, everyone was so kind (insistent) in the reviews that I couldn't resist!
Be warned, this chapter is Felicity centric and has several original characters. It pick up just over a year after "Backwards" so you need to read that first. Felicity may be a bit OOC, I'm not sure...But the idea is that she has been changed by her time with her fathers organization. I plan for the next chapter to be Team Arrow and Oliver centric. Again, I'm still looking for a Beta reader, so all mistakes are mine. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! Hope you enjoy this chapter. Look for the next one next week sometime.
"Go forward about ten feet and turn left." She spoke into the com.
"There is no left!" A voice replied.
"It should be just up ahead. I can see it, right here on the screen."
"I'm telling you there's nothing here. And security is right on our six, not to mention, this whole thing is gunna blow in just under 48 seconds." He was calm, like always, but urgent. This mission was cutting things very close. It was literally do or die right now.
"And I'm telling you, Agent Simms, there is an exit to the left. You're right on top of it...wait! Do you see a panel or a raised place on the wall? Like a button or a hidden notch?"
"No. We can't find...wait, here it is. Got it."
She heard the whoosh of a door sliding open and then him calling to the others, "We got it, boys. Lets clear out."
There was more shuffling and the sound of rapidly stomping boots. "Go, go,go!" She heard Simms calling out to his team.
"22 seconds till boom." Agent Dunccan, seated to her right, reminded her. She relayed the message to the team through her com.
"I can't see a thing down here. Are we almost out?" Simms questioned.
"20 yards." Felicity nervously tapped her pen against the ceramic coffee cup near her mouse. "Hurry."
"That's what we're doing sweetheart."
"I told you not to call me that!"
"We'll discuss it later, if I don't explode."
