Felicity POV

"Oliver!" I screamed as everything seemed to happen in slow motion. His head turned in the direction of the incoming tree. I felt the muscles in his arms strain as he flung me forward. I went airborne for a brief second before hitting the dirt. The sound of a crash, along with wood splintering, resonated behind me.

I immediately turned my head around trying to find Oliver. Looking side to side, I didn't see him safely standing to the side of the fallen tree. My eyes worked there way down to the thick trunk of the tree. The sound of groans overpowered the heavy rain overhead.

His legs were pinned underneath the trunk. He was trying to lift the heavy trunk off of him to no avail. I rushed over to him feeling panic sweep through my body.

"Oliver! Oliver are you okay?" I asked frantically.

"I think I may have a broken leg. See if you can help get this off of me," he instructed through gritted teeth.

"Okay," I muttered getting into position. I was soaked from head to toe with rainwater. The winds from the storm caused goosebumps to appear on my arm. A chill crept down my spine as my body began shivering.

Pushing as hard as I could, I felt the trunk begin to give a little. With Oliver's help, we were able to roll the heavy tree off of his legs.

"Can you move your legs? " I asked worried. I watched closely as he tried to move each leg. Thankfully, both of his legs moved.

"I think it's the right one," he groaned trying to sit up.

"Oliver, take it easy. You just got crushed by the Whomping Willow," I said assisting him into a sitting position.

"I feel like the car," he muttered sucking in a breath.

"Wait you've watched Harry Potter?" I asked baffled.

"I've read the books," he responded.

I felt the hair on my back and arms stand on end. Just then a lightning bolt hit the ground right in front of us causing me to let out a scream.

"We need to move!" Oliver shouted scrambling back.

"Can you stand?" I asked moving behind him.

"Yes, help me up," he instructed. I helped get him on his feet.

"The cave's up ahead," he voiced taking a deep breath. As quickly as we could, we limped over to the entrance of the cave. Bolts of lightning seemed to follow our path. I heard several more trees come falling towards the Earth. After safely reaching the rocky inside of the cave, Oliver collapsed to the ground.

"What was that? I've never seen lighting act like that before!" I exclaimed out of breath.

"I don't know," he replied sitting up and resting his back on the damp wall.

"You don't think that curse was real do you? I mean that guy was completely bonkers right?" I asked with a tinge of doubt in my voice.

"No, I think he was a basket case with an equally crazy pet. Probably just a freak storm due to the climate," Oliver explained slowing his breaths.

"Okay, so I guess we'll just wait here until it dies down?" I asked taking a seat beside him.

"Yeah, it 's too dangerous to go back out right now," he agreed pulling me closer to him. He wrapped his arm around me and placed his on my shoulder. I rested my head against his chest. The heat our two bodies produced helped keep me warm. Still, my teeth chattered as shivers shook my body.

We sat in silence for a few minutes. The sound of the rain overhead caused my eyes to grow heavy. A yawn escaped my lips as I snuggled closer to Oliver.

"Are we really going to make it out of here?" I asked closing my eyes.

"Yes. I think we will," he whispered reassuringly. He leaned over and gave me a kiss on my forehead.

"I wonder how the team is doing," I said curiously.

"I'm sure they are doing fine. I'm more worried about what Slade has done in my absence."

"Well isn't his revenge scheme kind of ruined if you're, you know, dead?"

"I hope so, but Slade isn't one to give up. I mean he literally waited 5 years to take revenge on me."

"Oliver, will you promise me something?" I asked after a moment of silence.

"Sure, what is it?" He responded rubbing his hand up and down the side of my arm.

"Promise me if something ever happens to me, you won't lose yourself in revenge," I replied. He went silent for a moment. I looked up at his face and noticed he looked lost in thought.

"I promise, but nothing is going to happen to you under my watch," he responded sounding dead serious.

"What if I had gotten struck by that lighting? I mean you can't stop lighting. You aren't Zeus or anything," I responded.

"I will always protect you. Now get some rest. I'll wake you when we can head out," he said ending the conversation.

"Fine," I scoffed knowing there was no point arguing with a stubborn mule. I closed my eyes and focused on the sound of thunder and rain.
