Chapter Number: 6
Chapter Name: Back

Felicity
Me and Diggle have been training for a week and I have to admit I was actually enjoying myself. Not only was I learning how to fight and protect myself, the training was also keeping my mind off of things. I felt free, strong, sexy and pretty bad ass. My training sessions have moved from my living room to the 'Arrow Cave' as I like to call it, we didn't have enough room in my apartment but Oliver thinks we're doing it to rub it in his face. He'll be working away and he thinks I can't notice him watching me and Diggle train together, I knew he was jealous I could see it in his eyes. He so badly wanted to take Diggle's place but because of his stupid pride I know he's never going to step in.

Yesterday for example Diggle was teaching me the best way to defend myself from an attack that was coming from behind. He was showing me moves and I looked over at Oliver who was supposedly getting data on his next 'victim' and he looked pissed. It didn't take him long to leave the 'Arrow Cave' stating that he had work to do. As soon as he left Diggle mentioned he Oliver watching us and keeping an eye on us, Diggle thinks Oliver doesn't trust him to train me and he would rather do it himself. I didn't want Diggle to feel like that so I vowed to myself today that when I saw Oliver Queen I was going to tell him how I really feel and make him apologise to Diggle.

Obviously I had thought of a very strong statement in my head to give him but I know when it comes to it, I'll forget everything. I'll stutter over him and make a fool of myself with my rambling but I will make my point, I will make sure Oliver understands he needs to back off a little of take over from Diggle. I know I sounded strong but was I going to be able to stay strong in the moment? When I see his eyes staring into me as if he was looking at my soul? Probably not.

After parking my car I walked quickly to Verdant and entered the basement. As I walked down the stairs I could hear what sounded like a stand off between Diggle and Oliver, I rushed down the rest of the steps and was confronted with Oliver and Diggle squaring up to each other "Whoa!" I exclaimed and I stepped between the two and placed a hand on each of their chests "Ok guys, I think we need to calm down a little before this gets out of hand" I stated looking back and forth between the two of them. Diggle stepped back first and then Oliver "Thank you. Wanna tell me what this is all about?" I questioned. I felt like a head mistress telling off her pupils.

"It's nothing that concerns you" Oliver stated calmly never taking his eyes off Diggle.

"Stop lying to her, it has everything to do with her" Diggle argued back.

"One of you spit it out" I ordered strongly.

"Oliver had a message today" Diggle stated.

"And what did the message say?" I asked Oliver.

"I don't want you to worry… you don't need to worry" He replied.

"That's not what I asked" I told him.

"Wilson escaped" He said.

"What else?" I questioned.

"He let Danny free and the two of them are on their way back to Starling City" Oliver informed me.

This time he looked down so he could face me. As I heard the words… that name… it felt like someone had put a knife in my chest and twisted it before ripping it out. Not only was Wilson free but he let Danny out too? Danny was going to come back here and he was going to come after me again, I know he is. I can't believe Oliver wasn't going to tell me about this "You thought I wouldn't find out?" I questioned "What about when he shows up at my door?" I questioned… both of them.

"He won't get near you" Oliver said to me.

"You don't know that. You need to stop treating me like I can't handle what's going on! I have the right to fight as much, if not more, then any of you. You just wanna keep me down here on the computers away from everything… life doesn't work like that Oliver. Friends do not keep secrets like this from friends" I told him "Now if you two gentlemen will excuse me, I think I'm gonna go home. I'm not in the mood for training today" I admitted and turned to leave.

"At least let me make sure you get home safe?" Diggle said and I nodded.

"I'll be on watch" Oliver stated as I stepped onto the first stair.

"Ok" I simply replied before leaving with Diggle.

Diggle made sure that all of my windows and doors were locked so no one could get in, he ordered me to stay close to my phone at all times and to never answer the door unless it's himself or Oliver. I agreed to his terms and conditions, he said he would normally stay but Sara is sick and Lyla is in Canada on a mission for a couple of days. I didn't expect him to stay with me, his family came first. Especially Sara.

"Great" I muttered to myself as I looked around my empty, quiet and lonely apartment.

A few hours later the door knocked and I was about to call Oliver when I heard his voice coming from my door "Felicity it's me, open the door" He said. I walked over to the door and opened it to see Oliver standing there looking down at the floor as if he was ashamed of himself, and so he should be "Are you ok?" He asked me and I nodded "Can I come in?" He asked.

I did debate on saying no but I decided against it. I stepped out of the way and Oliver came inside closing the door behind him "What do you want Oliver?" I asked him.

"To apologise" He said, surprising me "I know that since everything happened I've been acting like a dick and I'm sorry. You don't need this stress in your life. I didn't want to tell you about Danny because I didn't want you to be sitting up worrying all night, I didn't even want you to think about him… as far as you were concerned he was on Lian Yu where he was going to stay until he took his last breath" He explained to me "I should've told you and I should never have turned you down when you asked me to train you" He added.

"Your signals are giving me whiplash Oliver" I replied.

"What do you mean?" He asked, looking generally confused.

"One minute you act like you want me to be as involved in 'Team Arrow' as you and Diggle and Roy are. Other times you act like you want me out of the loop and just be there when you decide I'm needed" I told him.

"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to make you feel like that" He replied.

"Well you did" I stated.

"Is there any way I can make it up to you?" He asked me.

"Be honest with me" I told him.

"Ok" He stated "I'll be honest. You do not need to worry about Danny coming for you again. Not because I don't think you could handle it because I think you could… I've seen you in training… but because I am never going to let him come near you ever again. I promise you that I will die before I let him touch you again" He said to me and I know every word he spoke was the truth.

"Will you do me a favour?" I asked.

"Anything" He replied.

"Stay with me, here?" I questioned.

"As long as you want me here I will stay" He answered.

"Good. Now go and make me some coffee so I know you're really sorry" I said lighting the mood up again, he chuckled at me and walked into the kitchen. He knew where everything was, he had only been in my kitchen a couple of times, I'm surprised at how easily he moved around.

Watching Oliver in my kitchen making us coffee seemed like the most normal thing in the world. He looked so at home and so in place it was weird, I could picture waking up every morning to see Oliver in his boxers standing in the kitchen making us breakfast and coffee. Then again there are probably lots of girls with the same daydream.

Apologies for the short chapter but I promise you that the next chapter will be longer and there will be more drama and action then ever before!
