Title Of Story: Second Chances
Chapter Number: 15
Chapter Name: Fighting

Felicity
Madelyn has been missing for 6 hours now and myself and Oliver were becoming more and more angry. Someone had come into our home and taken our baby right from Oliver's arms. I know he blamed himself for what happened and he was itching to go out there and look for her, Lyla and Diggle had made him stay here because he was shot. I know he wanted to go out there, get her back and kill the guy that took her from us and he was getting angry. For the last couple of hours he had become very distant with me and he doesn't even want to sit next to me, every time I move close to him he moved away from me. I don't want to be alone right now, I want Oliver to hold me in his arms and tell me that things are going to be ok, we're going to find Madelyn and she's going to be safe and sound.

We had phone calls every 30 minutes from someone giving us an update on where they were, what they were doing and they were trying to reassure us but it wasn't any good. How am I supposed to be calm? Some crazy person has my daughter and is doing God knows what with her? I looked over at Oliver sitting on the sofa with his head in his hands, I could see his shoulders moving up and down indicating to me that he was crying, he was actually crying. I got up from the kitchen table and walked over to Oliver and sat down next to him, I wrapped my arms around his arm "Talk to me Oliver" I pleaded with him.

"There's nothing to say" He told me.

"There's everything to say" I replied.

"No there isn't. I failed to look after our daughter and now she's gone" He said.

"She's not gone, gone implies she's dead and she isn't dead" I told him.

"We don't know that" He said.

This time it was me moving away from him. I let go of his arm and stood up from the sofa and stood in front of him "You really think that?" I questioned "You really think that she's dead. If you think that then call everyone and tell them to stop looking for her, you give up on her" I stated angrily as tears started falling down my cheeks.

"Felicity…" He said and tried to grab my hand by I snatched it away from him "I'm not saying that she is dead but I'm just getting myself prepared for the worst. We don't know who has her or what reason they took her, they could have done anything with her" He told me "One of us has to be prepared for it" He added.

"I'm not giving up on her! She's fine! She's alive and well. When she comes through that door you remember that you were the one that gave up on her, not me" I told him.

I walked away from him and I went to Madelyn's room. I stood in the door way for a little while and looked around before walking in and taking a seat on her bed, I picked up a teddy that Madelyn had tucked under her cover and cuddled it. I brought it up to my nose and it smelt like Madelyn, new fresh tears emerged and fell down my cheeks. My poor little baby girl is with some stranger, I am praying with everything that I am that they are taking care of her. I really hope she's ok and they are going to find her soon and bring her home to me.

A cleared throat made me jump. I turned around to see Oliver standing in the door way, he took a few steps towards me then sat down next to me "I don't want anything to happen to her, I want her home safe and sound as well but I'm just getting myself prepared in case the news isn't what we want" He told me "I'm not giving up on her, if I could I would be out there looking for her as well so that I could bring her back to you" He explained to me.

"I just want my baby back" I told him.

"And we'll get her back I promise" He said to me.

Oliver's phone rang out loudly. He immediately jumped up and answered it "Diggle, have you found her?" He asked. Oliver nodded and listened to whatever it was that Diggle said, he turned to face me and I could tell by his face something was wrong and then Oliver hung up "They found her but they're struggling to get her back" He said.

"I don't understand" I told him.

"They've got Madelyn locked in the basement and they can't get down there. There are guards blocking every entrance and exit covered. The guys are outnumbered and there's a huge fight going on… I'm gonna go down there" He explained to me.

"I'm going with you" I stated.

"No. I want you to stay here and stay out of trouble" He told me.

"Please Oliver, she'll want me there when you get her out" I pleaded with him.

"No Felicity. I need you to stay here away from all of that, I can't have you getting hurt. You need to stay safe" He pleaded back with me.

"Fine" I replied but I was not happy.

Oliver
I decided not to suit up for this because I didn't want to scare Madelyn when I got her back. She needs to see me as her daddy, it might calm her down a little more and make her feel more comfortable. It didn't take me long to arrive at the scene, when I did get there a full on war was going on. That worked for me as nobody really realised that I was there and where I was going, although on the way to the basement I saw Roy and he came along with me as my back up.

Me and Roy fought off men on our way to the basement and I finally made it to the door "Madelyn!" I called through the door but I didn't hear a reply. Diggle promised me that this was where she was "Madelyn it's daddy!" I called through the door but again I didn't get a reply "Baby if you're standing by the door you need to move back ok? Move away from the door" I stated.

I kicked the door in and looked in the room to see the guy that shot me standing in the room, Madelyn was standing in front of him crying. The guy had his hands on her shoulders "Come here baby" I said to her and beckoned her over to me.

"She's not going anywhere" The guy said.

"Really?" Roy said and drew his bow "Let her go" He said.

The guy let got of Madelyn and she came running into my arms. Roy grabbed the guy and forced him out of the room so it was just me and Madelyn "Are you ok?" I asked her checking her over for injuries "Are you hurt?" I asked her.

"No" She said.

"Come here" I said and she wrapped her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her so tightly "Me and you mommy have been so worried about you" I told her and placed a kiss on the top of her head.

"Can we go home?" She asked me.

"Yes we can" I told her "What I want you to do is hold onto me and not look up ok" I told her and she nodded at me. I picked her up and she did as she was told, she had her arms wrapped around my neck tightly and I felt her face pressed into my shoulder so she couldn't see what was going on.

I ran through the fight and heard Madelyn crying. It was obviously the noise that was scaring her. Diggle covered me as I escaped with Madelyn, Lyla was soon at his side and together the two of us helped me and Madelyn got out safely "Take my car!" Diggle shouted and threw his keys at me. I caught them and ran towards his car with Madelyn in my arms and we were going home.
