AN – So that you to all of the new readers, favorites, follows and also the continued support. Thanks to you I have been crazy typing and have another chapter. I have also watched the movie every night this week to the exasperation of family lol. I hope this chapter is alright more technical stuff in it which I have tried to research and apply as accurately as possible. I did find out that artificial gravity is a fictional function at the moment so I have altered how John works on 5 compared to the movie BUT it factors in to my end goal much better (hint hint I love the tech in TAG and want more of it)

Please ignore mistakes I have recently noticed looking back over previous chapters there are lots of little probably annoying errors I apologise and will revise when I have finished I am just too excited to nit pick and have little time as it is to spend writing.

Anyway lets get on with the show.

I do not own Arrow or Thunderbirds just mucking around with them

CHAPTER 11

Warm sunlight fell onto Felicity's face rousing her from sleep. She didn't remember heading back to the villa and bed. Confused she opened her eyes and after a few moments to adjust to the bright light she realised where she was. It looked very different in the morning light compared to the pitch-blackness she had glimpsed it in last night.

Before she could do anything else her pillow began to fidget. Felicity sat up abruptly forgetting how she had been before sleep had taken her. Turning around she saw blonde tousled hair and a scrunched up face. "Oh." She breathed as she remembered what had happened. John had kissed her, HER! And they both had admitted they liked each other before snuggling back to watch the stars some more.

Felicity felt her cheeks begin to burn more so than normal and she watched as John wriggled some more and bring his arm across his body to where Felicity would have been if she had still been lying down. When the hand met empty space his face frowned before eyes fluttered open.

Felicity put her hand up in a wave oh hello with a squeaked, "Hi."

When John managed to open his eyes fully against the assault of light he saw Felicity sat up looking down at him with bright red cheeks and a little wave. He couldn't stop the smile that spread across his face at seeing her. He heard her squeak a hello and felt his smile grow wider.

"Morning. It's been a few years since I spent all night out here, must be the good company." John greeted.

At seeing John's growing smile she returned it. "It was a lovely evening, thank you." She said, her voice sounding more normal now. Being brave she lay back down alongside John and turned into his chest hugging him. "I really am enjoying being here." She murmured and she felt John's arms wrap around her. Her heart gave a little flutter.

"You are welcome, I am glad you like being here." They remained like that for several long minutes, neither one willing to let the other go it felt so natural.

John eventually moved a little to look at his watch. 4:30am he sighed, "Do you want to have a slow walk back and join the family for breakfast this morning?" John asked.

"Mmmm sure." She mumbled back content with where she was at the moment.

John chuckled before kissing the top of her head and running his fingers along her hair and down her ponytail, the action sent shivers down Felicity's spine.

Felicity dragged herself up off John and watched as he rose up to his feet. He extended a hand to help Felicity up. Once Felicity was on her feet the two moved towards the door, Felicity noticed the candles were still burning. John headed for a chain that Felicity now noticed hanging from the roof, one he reached it he began pulling the chain and the mechanical noise Felicity remembered from last night dispelled the quiet. While John did that Felicity went and blew out the candles then waited by the door watching the panels slide into place.

Once John was finished he moved to join Felicity, as he drew up level with her he swiftly leant down and placed a gently kiss on her lips. At the same time he grabbed the door handle and when they broke from the kiss he opened the door. He guided Felicity through the door and followed closing the door behind him and then grabbed Felicity's hand to walk back to the Villa.

The walk was slow and relaxing, Felicity took in the scenery that she had missed the previous night. She wondered if it was possible to grow bored of the sunrises and sets as well as the island itself.

Before they knew it the Villa was in sight, they continued up past the pool and to the lounge doors. John slid the door back and guided Felicity in first before following and closing the door again.

John wasn't expecting anyone to be awake yet so when a cough resonated though the silent room he almost ended up back on rotation on Thunderbird 5.

"How was reentry?" The voice enquired. John followed where it had come from and found Scott sat drinking coffee on the sofa with a tablet in his lap.

Felicity felt the heat creep onto her face again, what must they both look like coming in at whatever time it was in the morning still in last nights clothes.

"It was unexpected." He dryly answered. "I didn't think you would be up this early."

"Just getting some reports read for Dad." Scott answered.

"Not worried about the test flight?" John queried.

"No I'm rather excited about it, the controlling on the drone was much smoother so I'm eager to see how it handles 1." Scott replied with childlike excitement across his face. "So stay up all night star gazing or early morning stroll to see the sun rise?"

"Both." John replied keeping his face neutral as possible and ignoring the smirk now forming on the older Tracy sibling's face. "I will see you by the pool in an hour." John continued not giving Scott the chance to say anything further he guided Felicity towards the corridor. Felicity waved as she moved away with John.

"Hi Felicity. Bye Felicity. See you at breakfast." Scott called after them.

At Felicity's room she opened the door and went straight inside John waited at the door. When Felicity didn't seem to notice John called out. "I need to go and change for my morning run."

Felicity turned around and moved back to John. "Yeah sorry world of my own then. Shall I meet you down at breakfast?"

"If you want. We sit down at eight. Where is your phone? I should give you my number if you change your mind and want to talk down together."

Felicity beamed at John, his number she squeaked in her mind. Her legs couldn't keep up with the buzz in her head and they went the opposite way to the bedside cabinet at first. This caused John to stifle a laugh. "I heard that." Felicity called over her shoulder.

"Sorry you just bring laughter out of me." John answered in mock innocence.

Grabbing her phone Felicity returned to John and handed out her phone to him. "I could have probably got this myself." She teased.

"Oh I doubt it I have my own skills which my siblings never bothered to learn. How do you think we get the information we do and still keep 5 undetected?" John bragged as he inputted his number in Felicity's phone. He also added a little surprise for her before returning the phone.

"That is a valid point. I might have to test you on your claims then." Felicity teased further.

"Be my guest. If you can find my personal phone number or email I will take you out to dinner when I take you back to Starling City." John challenged.

"Deal."

"BUT." John added. "No cyber-merging that you do it has to be the same as what you did to Gordon."

"What did you call it? Cyber-merging?" Felicity questioned.

"Yeah sorry I thought it covered what you can do as you haven't really called it by a name or term."

"I like it. I have tried to ignore it unless it could be useful. Cyber-merging yes I definitely like it. And don't worry I wouldn't cheat like that unless it's as hard as you sat it will be I may be tempted." Felicity pulled John's leg at the stern look he gave she put her hands up in surrender. "No cheating at all."

"Okay. So I will see you at breakfast." He stated before moving forward to embrace Felicity and give her a parting kiss.

Feeling a lot more relaxed Felicity sank into the embrace and brought up both arms to rest on John's shoulders and thread her fingers in his hair at the nape of his neck. She felt him sink slightly and push further into her. The kiss went on for a long as they could before needing breath. When they parted John leaned his forehead against Felicity's. "I am really glad you came back with me." He whispered.

"Me too. You never know I may even get used to the flying part." She replied.

"I really should get moving. They don't wait if your late you have to catch up." He stated.

Felicity swiftly brought her lips to peck John's then pulled back and away from him. She felt a little empty without him so close. "Off with you then I am not being responsible for you running late. I can watch some more Grimm while your gone." She ordered making a shooing gesture with her hands.

John jumped backwards and out into the corridor. "Alright I am leaving. See you later beautiful." And he walked away and into the elevator, waving as the doors closed.

Felicity went into her room and closed the door before leaning heavily into it. Her mind was racing and she didn't know what to process first. Her heat was beating frantically and every time John crossed her thoughts it fluttered and her stomach somersaulted. "I am in deep trouble." She said out loud to no one but herself.

The morning flew by breakfast was another chaotic gathering with pancakes, toast, bacon, eggs, waffles and fruit. Virgil and Scott had been in competition over who could eat the most pancakes. Virgil had won by 5 with a total of 40, Scott had claimed he didn't want to weigh 1 down on the test flight which caused the whole table to erupt in laughter.

Felicity now found herself in International Rescue's Control centre. At the main desk sat Jeff with his computer monitors displaying the perimeter detection program running and video links to Thunderbird 1 and 5 open.

Brains' was seated at a different desk Felicity hadn't noticed before. It had several keyboards built into the tabletop and three sets of large monitors split into quad screens displaying a range of data some of which continually fluctuated from what Felicity could see.

The window shutters were open giving the crowd a view of the sky where Scott would be testing. Virgil stood with what looked like a touch phone in his hands that he kept fiddling with and stared very hard out of the window at the swimming pool. Tin-Tin was near him and Gordon was watching over Jeff's shoulder. Felicity took up a spot where she could see both desks and also the sky outside she eagerly wanted to see everything.

"Show time." Gordon announced clapping his hands and rubbing them together in eagerness. "You ready for a swim big bro." He teased.

"Gordon." Jeff's baritone voice cautioned his second youngest. The last test had not been great and a close call for his oldest son and Thunderbird 1.

"Scott." The single word conveyed a lot between the patriarch Tracy and the firstborn.

"All ready, systems are operational. Awaiting clearance." Scott replied.

Jeff checked the perimeter once more before granting Scott's request.

"Skies are clear, you are good to go."

"FAB Father." Scott finished.

A few seconds passed before Thunderbird 1 roared past the windows. Then a further few more seconds before Scott's voice rang out in the room. All eyes were either staring out the window. "Switching to horizontal flight."

More silence before Scott gave a progress report. "All systems are responding as normal. Will establish autopilot now." The silver craft came into view out over the wide expanse of ocean and hovered.

"Autopilot functioning we are hovering at 300 meters steadily. Activating remote piloting." Scott's arms moved from the controls at either side of his chair to meet in his lap with a small device that looked similar to what Felicity noticed Virgil had in his hands.

"Holding steady." Scott announced.

"A-A-All systems functioning well." Brains' stammered. Felicity guessed the screens Brains' and Fermat were monitoring must be Thunderbird 1's systems.

"Attempting forward flight." Scott announced.

The room seemed to hold its breath collectively as outside the window Thunderbird 1 glided forward.

Felicity watched as Scott operated the controller. He was using it as a touch pad.

"Response is sensitive and accurate. Let's test the yaw control." Scott continued his reporting.

Felicity didn't understand the term but watched Scott twist the controller unit he had to the left, she then glanced out of the window and witnessed Thunderbird 1 turning left. Then she watched Scott do the opposite and Thunderbird 1 turned right.

"Everything still functional and responsive. Attempting speed alterations."

"FAB" Jeff replied.

Outside Thunderbird 1 accelerated and disappeared from view. As it reappeared for a few seconds Scott announced, "Mach 1 reached. Attempting to slow speeds down." The next time 1 appeared she was much slower and came to a hover.

"Basic tests are all a pass. Brains', Fermat what do you think?" Scott asked.

"T-T-Things are all p-p-p A-OK here." Brains' replied.

"Virgil?" Scott called out.

"Right here." Virgil raised his voice from where he stood eyes still locked onto Thunderbird 1.

"You ready to try the range?"

"All set." Virgil replied.

"FAB disabling my control unit and returning to autopilot. I'm in your hands Virg."

"Right Scott. Activating control unit." All eyes were watching Virgil, who was unaware of the attention as he honed his focus even further on the hovering Thunderbird 1."

"I have control hovering is stable. Moving on to forward flight." Virgil never even glanced down to the unit he just gently lay his finger onto the screen and crept it forward along the screen. Thunderbird 1 began to fly forward.

As it neared the edge of the viewpoint they all had Virgil spoke again. "Testing left yaw." He tipped the device to the left and Thunderbird 1 turned left in the sky. Once she was heading back he straightened her up and adjusted the speed slightly increasing before decreasing and testing the right yaw.

"This is a very strange feeling. Not something I want to repeat too often." Scott tried to inject a little humor into the deathly silence that filled the control room.

"What's wrong Scott don't like sharing?" Gordon quipped.

"You know the answer to that Squid. How about you sit in your water can and give me the controls."

"Yeah right." Gordon scoffed.

"Exactly." Scott deadpanned.

By now Virgil had completed all of the basic maneuvers that Scott had first performed there was one more left.

"Ready to go further out?" Virgil asked Scott.

"FAB." Scott responded.

Virgil finally broke his eyes away from the now hovering Thunderbird one and he moved across the control room to his father's side and in front of the satellite feed of the perimeter detector. On the screen now there was a blue circle with the digit 1 inside.

"Okay here we go." Virgil said and concentrated on the screen as he operated the remote and sent Thunderbird 1 away from the island until it vanished from sight.

"V-V-Virgil all systems are f-f-f operating well." Brains announced.

"Raising altitude to half maximum and increasing speed to Mach 3." Virgil informed before he altered the controller. As Thunderbird 1 approached the outer perimeter Virgil tilted the remote and sent Thunderbird 1 into a right turn to follow the perimeter circumference.

"E-e-everything A-OK." Brains announced.

"Increasing altitude up to absolute ceiling."

"FAB Virgil." Scott responded.

"All systems functioning here." Scott continued after a few minutes of wait while the aircraft rose up in the sky.

"A-OK h-h-here." Brains added.

"Virgil to Thunderbird 5."

"Thunderbird 5 receiving over."

"Can you relay Thunderbird 1's position on a monitor down here?" Virgil asked, he was still concentrating on the monitor with Thunderbird 1 flying in circles.

"Yep." Alan popped the p while he concentrated on his workstation on Thunderbird 5.

A blank monitor suddenly burst into life with a map of the ocean and Thunderbird 1's logo moving around. "Virgil on your left." Alan called.

Virgil moved his eyes across screens and resumed the testing. "Are we cleared for maximum speed and distance?" Virgil asked.

"Yes son when you're ready." Jeff replied first.

Brains' answered next. "A-a-all clear here V-V-Virgil."

"Ready when you are Virg." Scott was the last to reply.

"Forward flight established." Virgil said as he sent Thunderbird 1 flying away from the island. "Increasing speed." He said and started to increase the airspeed of 1. "Mack 4. Mack 5. Mack 6." Virgil called in increments as the slow increase continued.

"Maximum Virg." Scott interrupted.

Virgil paused for a second before making a quick swipe on the device he held. "Mach 11 reached. High hypersonic established. How is she Scott?"

"Everything is functioning here fine Virgil. Only an hour and 30 until I can take control again." Scott complained.

"Yeah because this is a barrel of laughs for me." Virgil replied dryly.

"Sorry Virg." Scott apologised.

"Just relax and enjoy the ride." Alan piped up.

"You lot will get your turn when we fit the remote control to your birds. And I will get my revenge." Scott smirked clearly enjoying the squirming Alan was now doing.

Kyrano made the perfect timing, appearing with a tray of drinks. One by one he went around the room handing out the mugs to everyone. When he reached Felicity there were two mugs remaining. "I took the liberty to bring you a coffee Miss Smoak, I saw how you prepared one at breakfast. If you would like I can fetch another refreshment."

"Oh coffee is great, thank you Kyrano." Felicity thanked before taking the offered mug and John took the last one. Kyrano left the room.

The hour and half passed with speed and Thunderbird 1 was on its final approach to Tracy Island. Virgil lowered altitude and speed until he brought it to a hover back into the sky visible from the control room.

"Well done Son." Jeff congratulated the middle sibling. As he saw him relax once the craft was back into autopilot.

"All yours Scott. I am sticking with 2 and a cockpit." He stated.

"FAB and thanks Virg I owe you one." Scott replied.

"I will hold you to that." Virgil finished. He stepped back from the desk picking up his coffee and testing it. "Ugh cold. I am going to get a fresh one. You guys can handle it from here right?"

"Yes thank you Virgil." Jeff answered.

"I'll join you." Gordon said as he followed Virgil out the room.

"Dad can I have some time to do the fine tuning?" Scott asked.

"I don't see an issue. Brains', Fermat?" Jeff interrupted the talking pair.

"S-s-s yes Mr Tracy." Brains answered.

"Scott would like more practice time." Jeff requested.

"Th-th-that is fine by us. T-t-the system will c-c-c remain active. We w-w-will start d-d-diagnostic report." Brains answered.

"Thanks Brains. Alright son you have 30 minutes." Jeff looked at his watch. "I need to make some calls John can you man control for me?"

"Sure Father." John answered.

Brains, Fermat and Tin-Tin left the room shortly followed by Jeff.

John and Felicity were alone beside Thunderbird 1 and 5 on the monitors.

John sat down in the red chair and watched the monitors between glances out of the window as Thunderbird 1 maneuvered outside, until Alan struck up a conversation with John.

Felicity wandered over to the window and watched the aerobatics and controlled maneuvers Scott put Thunderbird 1 through. After a while of watching Felicity's mind went into thinking and processing what she had seen when an idea formed.

John was still talking to Alan, she wanted to take a look at the control pad Virgil had been using. Moving over to the desk Brains and Fermat had been stationed at she found the device. She carefully picked it up and examined the outside. It was about the size of the latest iPhone but lighter in weight. There was one external button on the top edge and the touch screen was a shiny black colour but no illumination present at the moment.

The lack of voices brought her out of her thinking and she turned to face the main desk and saw John and Alan watching her. Scott was too busy concentrating on flying to have noticed.

"Sorry I was just curious." She apologised.

"Just don't turn it on Felicity Scott will go mental." Alan jumped in.

"I won't I don't fancy flying lessons any time soon." She replied.

"What were you thinking?" John enquired.

"Oh nothing just idol curiosity." Felicity brushed him off. She reluctantly placed the device back down and wandered back over to the window to watch the aerial display.

Finally Scott's 30 minutes were up and he brought the sleek craft back in to land. John ended the video links with his two brothers and joined Felicity by the window.

"Want to elaborate on earlier?" He asked curious.

"No one's listening are they?" she whispered.

"It's just me and you." Felicity's question brought gave John an inkling to what she may have been thinking.

"I was watching Scott and Virgil operating the remote I wondered if I could make it easier but I haven't the first idea about controlling anything past a car." She admitted.

"Were you going to cyber-merge?" John enquired lowering his voice just in case anyone was approaching silently.

"I was considering it." Felicity replied dropping her eyes to the floor.

John placed his hand under her chin and raised her head so her eyes looked at his. He had a warm smile on his face. "I'm sure we can sort something out. Let's go somewhere quiet where no one will disturb us."

Felicity was a little taken aback at John's willingness to encourage her, she felt herself smile and was rewarded with John closing the gap between them and placing a soft kiss to her lips.

"Let's get going." John said dropping his hand from Felicity's chin and taking her hand. He moved over to Jeff's desk and activated a video call. Fermat's face appeared a few moments into the call.

"Hello Fermat. Scott has finished testing now and I was curious if I could have a look at the remote control unit?" He asked.

"S-s-sure just disconnect the t-t-transmitter." Fermat replied looking a little confused.

"Thanks Fermat, it's to settle a debate." John replied.

"N-n-no problem John." Fermat finished before the call ended.

"That was really easy." Felicity noted.

"Yeah we all give input to everything designed. If one of us overlooks a detail someone else is bound to notice it. Like you did yesterday, you impressed everyone."

Felicity felt herself blushing. "I didn't do anything really just a bit of brainstorming."

"It's the little bits that make the big differences." John concluded. He turned and headed over to Brains' desk collecting the remote controller device. He returned command and control back to his father's office before leaving hand in hand with Felicity.

After lunch Felicity and John returned to John's room to investigate the remote controller device.

They both sat on John's bed opposite each other with Felicity holding the controller.

"Do you need anything?" John offered.

"No just please don't let anyone see and don't freak out."

"I won't on both counts."

Felicity squared her shoulders and took a deep steadying breath. She focused on the device in her hands and felt the tingling connection between her skin and the technology.

John's bedroom vanished to be replaced with a gloss black room. The walls were lined with coloured wires running in various directions. There was no data movement about the device as John had disconnected the transmitter and receiver. In the centre of the room was a copy of Thunderbird 1. Felicity walked about the craft that was smaller than her it was like a miniature model.

Moving closer Felicity laid a hand on the model and it moved. It was not a fixed feature. The operator must manipulate the craft on the screen, she thought. Felicity moved to the rear of the aircraft and touched the outer casing of the engines and they ignited, she touched them again and they stopped. Touching the model activated the control of Thunderbird 1. She continued experimenting and calculating her forming plan.

John watched Felicity straighten and square off her shoulders while taking a deep breath. Then he saw her beautiful bright blue eyes transform into a shimmering static pattern. She still looked beautiful to him and even more special. Minutes ticked by and John watched her peaceful expression.

Unexpectedly the bright blue irises reappeared and focused on him. "Hello again." He whispered.

"Hi." Felicity felt herself blushing under John's gaze. He was the first person to see Felicity, other than Alan, since she first discovered what she could do.

"How did you get on?" He enquired.

"I think even I could operate Thunderbird 1." She looked down at the controller and the image of Thunderbird one on the front. "Did anything change on the screen?"

"Uh I didn't notice." John felt himself blush, he had been watching Felicity daydreaming a little too.

"Hmm never mind. She touched the engines on the screen and they ignited, when she pushed Thunderbird 1 forward the thrust of the engines increased. She tipped the phone side to side and watched as the image titled in the relevant direction. Tilting the head of the device alters the altitude.

"Inside the image is not just a 2D representation its actually 3D which correlates to using the accelerometers to operate certain functions that the 2D plane can't. I could physically manipulate Thunderbird 1 with my hands and it was much easier to control than using this and it could incorporate more operational functions. Especially if equipping the other craft. I know holography is still basic but if we could make a hologram of Thunderbird 1 with imagery and sensory lasers it might be possible to use a 3D projection to control the real thing." Felicity explained.

"Its theoretically possible but it might take some work. It would be nice to work with lasers again it has been a few years. I do like the idea, I would love to see what you can see inside there." John replied.

Felicity focused on the device in her hands again. She fiddled with the screen manipulating Thunderbird 1 before turning it off. "It's okay, here is much more amazing. It's very lonely. On the plus side it is much easier to sift through information when you only have to think of it and it floats about for you to see. It's like mobile control were you can spread all the information out on a large work area and pick one piece rang it forward manipulate it how you need but its on a larger scale because it occupies the entire space around you."

"That sounds fascinating. A system like that would be useful on 5 I have 24 different monitors to watch and sometimes that's not enough and there are 8 keyboards plus other control panels to use it gives me a large workspace which can be difficult to traverse in the lack of gravity."

"I guess in another way we have even more in common." Felicity stated.

"Yes I suppose we do. You are not so alone now though." John comforted Felicity her cheeriness seemed to have evaporated. He crawled to her side and enveloped her into a strong embrace.

Felicity signed into the hug. She felt protected in John's arms and happy.

"So I forgot to ask did you find my personal email address?" He attempted to lighten the mood.

"I left a program working on it on my phone. I can go and grab it and show you if you like?" Felicity offered.

"Sure there isn't much going on this afternoon. We can do that then start sourcing parts for our project."

Felicity pulled back startled. "Our project?"

"Yeah when I go back up to 5 and you have any free time you can call up and we can work on it together."

"I uh thought you would tell the others and work with them."

"Let's see how we get on first plus it give me an excuse to say you have to come and pop by." John gave a coy smile.

"That is a very cheesy pickup line but the best one I have ever come across. Let me just go and grab my phone." Felicity gave John a chaste kiss before wriggling out of his embrace and sprinting from the room.

John watched Felicity leave before picking up the controller and having a little tinker with the digital mini Thunderbird 1. After he tried all of the operations he turned it off and headed over to his desk to keep it safe.

When Felicity returned he was propped up on his pillows waiting. "Have you found it?" He queried again.

"I haven't looked I thought I would wait because I know my skills are excellent." She boasted as she joined John on the bed snuggling up to his side. John wrapped his arm around Felicity hugging her close and watched her navigate her phone.

After traversing several screens at inhuman speed John finally read out his private email address and cell number.

"Okay you win I surrender don't rob my bank account we may need it for lasers." John joked.

"You can't pay for things like that they cost a small fortune." Felicity exclaimed horrified that John would be funding her idea.

"I will be and happy to, tinkering is a hobby for me too and it will stop me getting bored in my down time during the next rotation. Don't worry I can afford it a Thunderbird salary has lots of danger pay." He joked.

"That isn't even funny." Felicity tried to sound threatening but she failed miserably. John seemed to calm her easily with just his presence and words.

"Now that that argument is settled want to help me order parts so we can collect them when we go back to Starling City?"

"Sure." Felicity replied with trepidation, she was worried about spending John's money.

John gave Felicity a firm squeeze before he slid out from under her and retrieved his laptop from the desk and returned to his spot on the bed.

Felicity's unease was soon alleviated. Searching for parts turned out do be great fun with bantering over specs of the different models and the sizes of the components when Felicity reminded John several times that it needed to be a small portable device not something a room in Thunderbird 5 could contain. She soon forgot the money part too which John was grateful for money was not a concern for him, not because he was now a millionaire or because the rest of his family were rich and lived on their own private island. It was because Felicity didn't care about his money or the fact he was rich and he wanted to spoil her because he was able to.
