Felicity eyes fluttered open taking in her surroundings the room that she had been sent to for the past few days hit her, reminded her that she was a prisoner. Felicity looked over to where Oliver sat on the couch on his laptop. She took in a deep breath and knew it was time for her to get up and go back to the witch. Felicity got up catching Oliver's eye as she took hold of her nighty that she had on the night before and headed to the bathroom. Once she came back out Oliver was waiting for her taking in a deep breath.

"Hey" he said nervously.

"Hi" she said coldly and Oliver couldn't help but look at her in her nightly the way her it curved her breasts and how sheer and how visible it made her breasts. Felicity must have noticed where his eyes laid and quickly stiffened folding her arms.

"Sorry … I wasn't …" he collected himself.

"Have you thought anymore about letting me?" she asked testing her luck.

"It's not that easy but I have an idea … marriage …"

"Marriage? What? No … I …" that completely flustered Felicity who was left speechless. She had so much more to say until there was a knock on the door.

Oliver pulled Felicity into his side and opened the door revealing the witch.

"Good morning Captain" the witch smiled.

"Good morning" he said as he planted a kiss on Felicity's neck letting his lips rest there for a few moments before letting her go.

Felicity had wanted to stay she had so many questions to ask him, marriage and this point she didn't care but she just needed to find a way to get out of there.

Felicity sat in the dark room in the basement counting money that the Bratva was storing in the facility they were in. Felicity was left alone with an older woman who looked like she had been there for a while. Felicity being Felicity couldn't keep her mouth shut and curiosity got the better of her.

"How long have you been here?" she asked.

"Many years child" she said with a sad smile as she put elastic bands over the cash.

"Never left?"

"Never" she repeated her accent really strong.

"Is there a way to get out of here?" Felicity questioned.

"Not that I know child"

"What about marriage?"

"If you marry you can only marry a high ranking man if you marry you will be with that man forever, if you marry you will need to be the wife the brotherhood sees fit"

"How do you mean?" Felicity sat back and watched the woman.

"You will need to be a perfect wife attend all brotherhood functions, bare children, girls who will be arranged to marry another Bratva captains child before they are even born" the woman got up and put away some of the money and then walked back. "You will be with that man for the rest of your life, you may do things you do not want to or you will be asked to do something you do not wish but you will have too, you will never be free" the woman said.

Felicity walked into the kitchen as she helped prepare dinner with some of the other girls. What the old lady had told her rang in her ears Oliver said the only way to get her out of here was through marriage however if she choose to marry him she would be stuck with him for the rest of her life. Felicity gasped in shock when she felt a pair of hands on her hips she had been claimed by Oliver yet here someone stood trying it again.

"It's me" Oliver whispered in her ear and for whatever reason she relaxed. "I just wanted to see if you are alright?" he said.

Felicity turned and looked up at him getting lost in his blue eyes "Yes" she whispered and stiffened once men started entering the kitchen and headed towards the dining table.

Oliver watched their eyes as they locked onto them and if his plan was to work he needed everyone to buy into the idea that he was falling for her and she wasn't just some whore to him. Oliver pulled her flush into his chest and started to tickle her much to her surprise.

Felicity was shocked at first but she was a very ticklish person. She immediately started to giggle and try and fight him off. Oliver wrapped his arm around her waist and picked her off her feet slightly as Felicity instinctually wrapped her arms around his neck. Once the men cleared Oliver lowered Felicity back onto the ground.

"I'll see you soon" he said brushing loose strands of her hair behind her ear.

Felicity bit her lip and watched Oliver leave she was left confused by what he did but everything the old woman had said kept relaying in her head. As she served dinner she quickly excused herself to the bathroom she had gotten a lay of the land and knew where the exit was. She didn't hold back as she jogged to leave.

Felicity spotted the door which led to the outside and she quickly made a run for it. Once outside she saw the many men that patrolled the area and she tried to be as quiet and as hidden as she possibly could. Felicity could help but notice that she kept going back in circles as she tried avoiding the guards.

Back inside the men that sat round the table dinner was cut short as the witch came in screaming in Russian that one of the girls had gone missing. Felicity. Oliver tensed right away panic stricken and over taking his body he met Diggle's eyes and his bodyguard and best friend quickly got to work to go and find her. Oliver got up as did the rest of the men going to find her. Oliver sneaked out of the back door avoiding the looks from the men. How could she be so stupid he had told her that he was getting her out? Not only was she risking herself but was putting him in danger too, his family everyone he loved. Oliver's panic quickly turned to anger, anger not only for putting them all on the firing line but anger because he knew what they would do to her if they found her. Felicity had been kidnapped in his opinion was made to be a woman of the house meaning her appeal was for the high ranking men, she was to sort the money prepare their meals. She had it better than the girls who were kept drugged up and made to sleep with all kinds of men.

Once outside Oliver looked round trying to find her in all the commotion, quickly spotting her blonde hair he looked round and made a run for it in her direction.

As Felicity made an effort to run towards the gate a hand came over her mouth silencing her scream. As she tried to fight her captor she heard someone "shh" her in her ear and she quickly knew it was Oliver. When he released his hand from her mouth Felicity turned to meet him.

"What the hell …"

"I'm almost there just let me go Oliver please" she begged.

Oliver looked at her frightened figure and closed his eyes going back to that dark place in his head, the person he sometimes needed to be to ensure the safety and survival of not only him but his family.

He gripped her arms and pushed her into the wall, "Do you know what you have done? They will have my head, my parents, and my sisters all because you ran" he growled.

Felicity blinked several times, Oliver pinning her to a wall was not hurting her but the thought of being the cause of death to his family pulled at her heart strings especially when she thought to Roy.

"I'm sorry" she whispered. Oliver's expression quickly softened when he saw the sincerity on her face.

He took her by the hand and made sure she lead her back without anyone seeing them. Oliver led her back to his bedroom, "Take off your clothes" he ordered. "Trust me" he said.

As Felicity began to strip Oliver quickly put on one of his dress shirts on her and did up some of her buttons, he then quickly ordered her to put on his socks bringing them up as high as possible. Felicity was getting the idea of where he was going with this. All of a sudden his door was flung open and Felicity gasped.

The Bratva captain looked between them and he and Oliver started to talk in Russian. The man left and Oliver turned to face Felicity.

"Don't ever do that again ok" he growled to which she merely nodded.

"What did you say?" she asked.

"I said you came back here to wait for me after dinner" he released a breath as he started to take off his tie.

Felicity hung her head low so much for her great escape so much for trying to free herself. She looked at Oliver and now she was faced with a dilemma not only was she trying to save her family but somehow in the process she had to save Oliver's family. She looked at Oliver who had his back to her and she knew that if the offer of marriage was the only way to get her out of there then she had to take it, it was a sacrifice she needed to make to ensure she helped her brother Roy and that no harm came to Oliver's family.

"Oliver" she called, "If marriage is the only way then yes or I do or whatever it is … I don't have much time with Roy" she sniffled.

Oliver turned around and saw her crying figure. He was going to go to the Captain and he would be marrying Felicity Smoak.
