Disclamer: haha you're kidding me?

The next day Oliver decided that one week of training was enough to go back patrolling. It was a slow night and as usual Felicity stayed behind in the foundry following up on a trace from a guy they were after. Diggle went home early because there was not much to do. Roy was out of town for a while with Thea, I'm so glad for them there back together. "Hey babe I'm coming back in, nothing is going to happen tonight." "You sure about that? I can think of a few things." I could hear her smile. "Oh baby I like the way you think." I was about to go back to my motor when I heard a noise from behind me. I turned around as fast as I could but this time I wasn't fast enough. I felled something coming down on my head, I could only say one word before I blacked out. "Help."

"You need to come as fast as you can, something is wrong with Oliver!" I practically jelled at him. "Be there in 5." I got back on my computers searching the signal from Oliver's tracker in his boot. I just found it when Diggle came in. I'm glad he was here that fast.. "What's wrong?" "He was just about to come back in from patrolling when he asked help, I could not make any contact since. But his tracker is still on the move. We need to help him John, I have the feeling something is very wrong." "But he's on the move? Are you sure he is not just coming in? maybe his earpiece is broken?" "You know he would have called me if that was the problem. And he is not even moving in this direction." "Okay calm down, we are going to find him. Do you still have a signal?" "Yes, he's heading east. But nothings there apart from some abandoned factory buildings." I could feel the panic rising even more, what is going on here? "Okay I'll go after him, keep me posted on where he's going." What?! "No! I'm coming with you." "Felicity you can't come it's too dangerous." "John you trained me for this, you said so yourself I'm ready." "Felicity…" "No I'm coming Oliver needs me and even you need some back up." He sighed in defeat. "Come on let's get geared up."

It was only a 30-minute drive to the place his tracker stopped but it felt like forever. Every minute I checked he was still there hoping he will be alive when we get there. "Felicity you stay here while I check the building." Not this again. "No I want to come." "Were going blind in there so please let me first check the building." I know he want Oliver back as much as I do so I stayed quiet and gave him a nod. How faster he gets in how faster Oliver's out. I looked at the heat satellite. "Diggle there's six men coming your way." He can't take them out by himself. I got my knives and got out of the van. In training with Diggle we found out I was pretty good at throwing knives. I mean really good at it. When I got to him all the men were forming a circle around him, no saw me coming. I threw the first knife in the men's upper thigh, he fell on the floor gripping it. That's one, we won't be needing to look after him again because he will not get back up. A second man was running at me, my knife hit him in the shoulder. He pulled it out and kept coming at me I threw another one in his foot. This time he stumbled down to the floor. I walked past him wanting to get to Oliver as soon as I can. I checked my watch, I build a little screen in it that is connected to my computer, so I could see where they could keep him. There were only 2 dots in a little backroom above us, that's where I need to go.

I woke up in a large cold room. I don't know where I am, I remembered patrolling and someone knocking me out but that's it. I hope Felicity heard me when I asked for help. I still got my boots so she should be able to find me. I hear a door opening and closing on my left, light footsteps coming toward me. "So Oliver Queen, the arrow, who would have thought." It was a young man. Just smirking at me. "Now you know who I am, who are you?" "Don't you know who I am?" I didn't recognize him, I don't think I ever saw him before. "You really don't know do you?" "No, so enlighten me who are you?" "Always had a big mound didn't you?" "Aghh." He punched me in the stomach and abdomen. It hurt because of my wounds were not fully healed yet, they started to bleed again. I could feel my t-shirt getting wet. "Well, well some old wound?" He ripped my t-shirt in half so he could see the cause from the bleeding. "That's some big cut." He poked in it with his finger making even more blood come out. "Now let me tell you who I am."

When I was on the top of the stairs the third men swung his fist at me but I ducked while I kicked his feet from under him. I tried to kick him again but he was back on his feet. He lunged at me punching me in the stomach. I took a few steps back. He aimed his weapon on me. Before he could shoot I kicked it out of his hands. He grabbed me and throws me to the floor, in my fall I pulled him with me. He tried to grab the gun but I took his arms and pulled so his head was between my legs. I closed them around his neck, he tried to get up and pulled me with him. He wanted to smash me against the floor so I led go falling on my back. I pushed me of on my arms and jumped to my feet. I did a twist and kicked him in the stomach again. He fell back a couple of steps and leaned forward, so I elbowed him in the neck knocking him out. I looked back at Diggle seeing he was fighting the last guy standing so I moved on trying to find Oliver.

"I lived in the glades when you let it get destroyed. I watched my mother and father been squashed to dead. I saw my little sister walking towards them and getting hit by a car. I held her in my arms while she bled out. All because you couldn't save them. Because you were too late. And now, there is no one here to save you." He opened my second wound when he spoke. "You sure about that?" It was Felicity. Standing there in a red leather suit. "So you're the one he called babe. Never known there were more of you. Just stay there honey, once I'm done with him it's your turn." He sliced his knife across my chest. "Let go of the knife!" What is she doing and where is Diggle? "So you want to go first? I'm okay with that, your boyfriend can watch when I slowly kill you." No, not Felicity I need to get loose.

It was hard seeing Oliver with all bloody but I need to get rid of this man before. "Hahaha you can try." I threw a knife at him but at the last moment he moved, the knife missing him only by inches. This guy was quick. When he came at me I turned and kicked him in the stomach, he leaned over so I grabbed him by his head and pulled him over my shoulder onto the ground. I tried to punch him but he kicked me away making me fall on my back. I got up before him and kicked him in the face, when he fell back Ii gave him feet against the knee making him fall again. When he was on his knees, I tried punching him with my right, which he blocked and I immediately punched him with my left. I wanted to punch again when he ducked. He pulled my legs from under me making me fall again, when I got up he stood behind me with the knife I'd thrown. "Looks like you got some skills, but now it's over." "Oh no it's not." He moved his arm around my neck but I ducked, turned half around and used my turn to punch him with more force. I gave him a knee in his crotch and kept punching him in the face till he was knock-out. Diggle walked in gun at the ready. "Looks like I'm too late. Nice work Felicity." He looked impressed. "Thanks" I smiled at him.

"Nice work? What were you thinking? You could have been killed!" Felicity as looked at my chest checking the wounds. "I'm fine Oliver, nothing happened." "How could you say that the man had a knife against your throat!" "I'm okay I didn't even get a cut." Why didn't she understand, I can't lose her. She can't get hurt, especially not for me. "Do you know what could have happened?" "Yes Oliver but nothing did happen, I'm fine." "Stop saying you're fine, I can see the bruises forming already." "Just for the record I just save your ass." "You should have stayed in at the foundry. Why did you let her come John? And now cut me loose." "You know it would be really nice of you to just say thank you, you can cut yourself loose." She gave me a knife and walked away. "I trained her Oliver she is really good, she just took four men out two times the size of her." I couldn't take it, the danger she put herself in for me. "I'm not talking to you." "All right be an ass, but you saw her fight. You saw what she's capable of. You can't deny it. The car's at front, have fun getting loose."

A few minutes after Diggle Oliver got in the car. The ride to the foundry was silent, Oliver sometimes looked at me but I didn't care. He's acting like nothing happened to him that he was totally fine. I hate it when he is like this, it's like I can't take care of my own. Okay in the past he saved me more than once even but now,… he saw what I did, what I can do and still he wouldn't understand. When I got out of the suit I saw Diggle patching up Oliver's wounds, I was still angry at him so I just went home. I heard a knock on the door, it was Oliver. "Can is still come in?" I walked to the couch leaving the door open. "So you're not going to talk to me?" He asked carefully. "Are you going to be reasonable?" "You could have been hurt Felicity, or worse killed." I can understand where he's coming but didn't he just see I kicked some ass back there? "But I didn't, why can you only see what could have happened and not what did happen? In case you missed, I kicked some serious ass." "Felicity…" "No Oliver, you know what for once I didn't feel like a damsel in distress. I could handle myself. Maybe you still think I'm that little woman that only work's on a computer but I'm not her anymore. I changed. Since I work with you and the team I've been abducted, even more than once so I needed to learn how to defend myself. You even said that! So John trained me, and I was ready to finally help, really help. Not from behind my computer, I'm more than that now." Why couldn't he see that? See that woman in me? "Felicity..I…I can't lose you. You can't get hurt because of me" He looks so broken. So that's what's bothering him, that he could lose me. That I got hurt because of him. "You didn't lose me Oliver and Ididn't get hurt." He gives me a questionably look. "Okay didn't hurt that much. I'm fine it's just some bruises. Do you know how it's like for me seeing you leave all the time not knowing how you'll come back? If you'll ever come back? I felled helpless all the time, but now I don't anymore. I love you Oliver and I won't let anything happen to you. You said you can't lose me. I can't lose you to not when I finally got you." "I don't know what to say. You were really amazing back there. And I'm sorry but when it comes to you…" I pulled him to me. "I know." "I'm really sorry, thank you for coming for me." He kissed me. "Always. So did you really think I was amazing?" "Yes." "Good because from now on I'll come with you on patrol."
