Chapter Name: Choices
Oliver
"If we give him over to Lance, he'll get a few years inside and then he'll be out. The government will probably give him a new identity so he can't be traced… what if he can never come after her again?" I questioned.
"We can't kill him… that's not what we do and I thought you didn't kill anymore" Roy replied.
"I don't but when it comes to her I'll kill anyone that I have to" I told Roy "But I won't kill him unless she wants me to, I got an idea" I said to Roy who looked a little sceptical. I got my phone out of my pocket and stepped away from Danny so that he couldn't hear me, I selected the number then pressed call.
"Yeah?" Diggle asked as he answered.
"How is she doing?" I asked.
"She's… not herself… she's sleeping at the minute" He replied.
"Ok I need you to do me a favour" I said.
"What is it?" Diggle asked.
"Bring Felicity to the basement of the hotel Danny's staying at" I told him.
"Why?" He asked.
"I've got him down here and I need to know what Felicity wants me to do with him. I know she said to give him to Lance but I want her to look him in the eyes and make the decision looking at him. Danny needs to know that Felicity is deciding his fate and not me, he needs to know she doesn't love him" I explained to him.
"After what she's just gone through you can't ask her to come and face him. You can't ask her to make a decision on someone who used to be a friend of hers, you know it will kill if she makes the wrong choice" He argued.
"Please Diggle just bring her here" I replied and hung up the phone.
"You can't make Felicity choose if he lives or dies. You can't do that to her" Roy's voice said from behind me.
Personally I think the decision is totally Felicity's! Danny has hurt her in a way that I can't even comprehend and now Felicity can get the justice that she wants. Like I told Roy, if I hand Danny over to Lance he'll get a few years in prison and then he'll be about. When he gets out who's to say he won't do this to another woman or even go after Felicity again. When Felicity made the choice to hand him over to Lance I think part of her was still thinking of Danny as a friend and not the man who raped her.
I needed Felicity to come and face Danny and then she can decide what she wants to do with him. Danny is in love with Felicity and by raping her it means that part of him thinks that Felicity is in love with him too and wants to have sex with him. He needs to know that Felicity doesn't love him and what he did to her was wrong, he needs to know that it's Felicity in charge of his fate and not me… if it was me in charge then I would have killed him already.
Of course I don't want her to have to face him again as I know what sort of pain she will be feeling but she needs to do this. She's in control of this and I want her to be happy with whatever punishment is delivered to him, she can't change her mind in a few days, months or years. I don't think she's going to want him dead because that's just Felicity but I want her to understand what could happen if he's passed over to Lance. All I want is for Felicity to be safe and I will do anything I can to make sure that happens, I failed last night but I won't do it again.
I looked over at Danny sitting on the floor looking like he was about to cry. I wanted to walk over there right now and just kill him for what he's done to my Felicity… Felicity… what he's done to Felicity. She's not my Felicity. I shook my head to rid the thoughts and focused on Danny again, I could tell by his eyes that he was replaying what he did to Felicity "Did you enjoy it? Was it everything you has dreamed about? When she was begging and crying for you to stop, was that in your dreams? Did you come here to do this to her?" I questioned.
Danny didn't reply he just looked down at the floor as if he was ashamed at himself, after hearing that he had loved her for so long apart of me thinks that he came here to do this. He wanted to make Felicity see what he really felt for her and she was going to listen one way of the other, he would force her to listen if he had to. He needed to have Felicity's love but he didn't realise is he did have her love. Danny was one of the people she classed as her best friends and she did love him dearly until he did what he did to her.
Whatever punishment Felicity issues to Danny I hope he hates every second of it, I hope he suffers after what he's done. There is no excuse in the world that he could come up with that would make this seem ok, there is nothing in this world that gives him the right to do that to her. When Felicity pushed him away he should've been a man and apologised to her and left, they may have still had a friendship and her love as her friend. I would rather that then have her hate me.
The door opened and I turned around to see Diggle and Felicity. They walked over to where I was standing and stopped, Diggle stood in front of her in a protective manor and Felicity stood behind him dressed in a baggy sweater and sweat pants. She had her arms wrapped protectively around her and I think she may start crying any second, I hated doing this to her but it needed to be done.
"Felicity" Danny said "I'm so sorry for everything I've done, I can never apologise enough and if you don't want to speak to me again then I understand" He said.
"Speak to you?" Felicity questioned and stepped from behind Diggle to face Danny "I don't even want to think your name let alone speak to you" She told him "You were one of my best friends and I loved you… I trusted you with my life and then you do that to me" She said and she turned her head away from him as she started crying "I hate you for what you've done to me and I can never forgive you… I hope you rot in hell" She stated before turned away from him and facing me.
"Felicity I know you said you wanted this handed over to Lance but I need to make sure that you really want that. You can't change your mind once it's done, his fate is in your hands… it's justice for what happened to you. What do you want to do?" I asked her.
"I don't want him to die… I want him to live with what he did to me" She told me.
"Ok… if he goes to prison he'll get his time and then he'll be released. There is a chance he could do this to someone else or he could come after you again… you're one hundred percent sure you wanted him handed over to Lance?" I questioned again.
"No" She replied.
"Ok. What do you want to do?" I asked.
"I want him to go to Lian Yu for life. Somewhere he can't escape, somewhere he won't be set free, somewhere he will have to live with what he done and somewhere he will suffer for the rest of his pathetic life" She told me.
"I can do that" I replied.
"I want to go now, I don't want to ever see his face or hear his name ever again" She said.
"I'll get Diggle to take you home" I said.
"I want you to stay with me" She said.
"Ok… give me a minute" I told her and she nodded.
"Me and Arsenal can make the arrangements for Lian Yu here and then we'll transport him over to Agent Walker. She'll get him on the island and I'll make sure that she doesn't enlist him in Suicide Squad and I'll speak to Lance. I'll tell him what he needs to know then get Walker to make him sign the secrets act and make sure he keeps quiet" Diggle explained to me and Roy nodded and agreed along with him.
"Yeah, we can handle all of this. You go and make sure that she's ok" Roy said.
"Ok. Call if you need me" I told them.
I walked over to Felicity and placed a hand on her lower back and led her out of the basement. We reached her car and got in "There's a blanket in the back you can put over yourself when you get out of the car, don't want anyone thinking I'm sneaking The Green Arrow into my house" She said.
When we got to Felicity's house I took my mask off and put my hood down before wrapped the blanket around me. It's a good job I did have the blanket because just as I got out of the car one of Felicity's neighbours across the street was coming out of the house. The two of us quickly rushed into her house and she closed and locked the door behind her, I took the blanket off and folded it over my arm.
"Do you want something to eat or drink?" She asked me.
"No" I replied.
"Thank you for coming home with me, I didn't want to be alone" She said.
"You know I would do anything for you" I replied.
