Oliver felt her relax into him and he smile a bit as he let out a breath and relaxed even more. He set his head on top of hers, his arm around her still as his fingers brushed over her arm, making random patterns and shapes. He looked down at her and saw her eyelids trying hard to stay up. He chuckled, “If you’re tired, Felicity, why don’t you go to sleep?” He asked quietly. “I don’t mind..especially if you’ve seen this movie a few hundred times,” he smiled. He shifted and slumped down in the couch a little so she could curl up against him a little more and get more comfortable if she wanted.

[misstechgenius]

"But...Oliver..." She had some questions. First and foremost Felicity wanted to ask what the hell he was doing? They'd never been like this before. They were cuddling for heaven's sake! It just didn't make sense. A girl like Felicity shouldn't fit into Oliver's life, not in the way she wanted to. Her hands rested against his chest, twisting his shirt into her fists as she fell asleep. That night, Oliver never left her dreams. She was doing mundane things, working at the office, typing away on her computer, eating breakfast...Oliver was there. He never said anything, bur for the first time in several weeks Felicity finally slept through the night. Not only that, she felt completely safe. "Thank you Oliver..."

He laughed as his brows rose to his hairline, “That’s no excuse, huh?” he smiled. He watched as she leaned back and got comfortable, shifting where he sat. He pulled his attention to the movie, watching as it started, his brows low as he concentrated, smiling a bit, enjoying the movie. Half way through he looked over at Felicity again. He’d felt her watching him earlier, but he let it go, and now it was time for him to admire her. His eyes took in the way the light from the TV outlined her beautiful face. A smirk curled at the corners of his lips as he reached over and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her against his side.

[misstechgenius]

Felicity's breath caught in her throat momentarily as she felt Oliver's strong hand pull her to his side. Before, the same gesture had been one of comfort when she was freaking out. Here...it seemed out of place. Not unwelcomed, but very much out of place. Oliver could have any girl he wanted. He was Oliver Queen! They were friends sure, but Felicity was barely older than Thea. She had always thought Oliver had seen her as a younger sister. Perhaps this...nope, Felicity had no idea what this was. But she didn't question it. Instead she let herself sink into him, listening to his heartbeat rather than the movie. She could feel her eyelids flutter, sleep suddenly seeming like an exceptional idea.

Oliver smiled when he listened to her start rambling about the movies. He chuckled as he pushed one brow in and lifted the other as he let her go. He shook his head, “I haven’t seen them,” He said to her. “I was on an island for five years, remember?” He asked with another genuine smile. “I haven’t seen a lot of movies. And just ‘okay’ huh?” He asked. “Sure,” he nodded with a chuckle. He shifted a little and cleared his throat, settling back into the couch, “Well…let’s see what the hype is about,” he gestured to the TV.

[misstechgenius]

"No excuse." Felicity teased, settling back onto the couch as the movie started to play. She let her head lean back onto the couch as the opening started, finding Tony Stark in quite a predicament. Because she had seen the movie before, Felicity allowed her mind to wander, becoming focused on Oliver and his movements. The rise and fall of his chest, his breath and heartbeat, all signs that he was in fact there with her and not some Vertigo concocted hallucination. She hoped he’d like the movie…

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

"Sit at home and read," he told her truthfully. "Or I…watch things to catch up with what I’ve missed…Five years is a long time," he chuckled as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Do you know fifty five movies came out in 2008? I think tonight I was gonna watch Iron Man or Cloverfield," he shrugged. "But we can do something else..we can..go out to dinner or…anything."

[misstechgenius]

Felicity sat up straight, giving him a strange look. "You haven't seen Iron Man yet?" She asked incredulously. "Well, that settles it." Felicity pushed herself off the couch, making her way to her movie collection stacked up against the wall. She thumbed through the selection looking for the Robert Downey Jr. movie. "The first one is the best, although the third one isn't bad either. Of course, Captain America is great as well. It's probably my favorite out of all the Marvel superhero movies, well...if you're not counting the Avengers because that's really a collective movie and..." Felicity trailed off, realizing that she'd started rambling. "I mean, it's OK." She said nonchalantly.

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

Oliver frowned a little when she said she understood he had more important things to do. He shook his head as he stood up, “No….no I’m pretty not busy,” He told her as he smiled a bit. “C’mon…we can do whatever you want,” he said as he shrugged one of his shoulders. “Let the cops handle the city for tonight…it won’t go up in flames or anything,” he gave her another small smile. “And don’t try and bring up my mother and Thea…mom is staying in, she has a cold, and Thea is with Roy…And Diggle is otherwise engaged in some personal matters….So I’m free…and you are too,” he said to her. “So what do you want to do?”

[misstechgenius]

Felicity chuckled at his persistence. She and Oliver hardly ever hung out outside of work and...their other work. But she'd be lying if she said she didn't want to. "Um...I don't know. What sort of thing do you like to do during your free time?" She asked, hoping he wouldn't ask her the same question. Felicity was a very laid back kind of girl, a night at home with movies and popcorn was how she usually spent Saturday night. Besides, she wanted to know what Oliver Queen, the man, was like. Not the CEO or the Vigilante.

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

He smiled a genuine smile before he looked up at her, “I would be too far behind and too busy killing people and caring about the book than making the city as a whole safer,” he chuckled. He let the smile fall from his face as he looked at her for a long moment. “Is there anything you’d like to do tonight?” he asked with a shrug. “Just you and me..”

[misstechgenius]

Felicity could think of several things she'd like to do with Oliver, but she didn't say so. Shaking her head, Felicity dropped her hand back onto her lap. "I feel a whole lot safer with you here already." She admitted, scratching back back of her neck. "But I understand if you have other, more important, things you have to do." She knew his schedule well enough by now. If he wasn't patrolling the city, he probably had work at Queen Consolidated or Thea and his mom waiting for him back at home for family night.

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

He nodded, “Good,” he said quietly as he ran he brushed his thumb over her cheekbone. He smiled as he let his hand drop and he laughed a little, “You’d probably be better off without me,” he confessed. “You’d still be in IT and wouldn’t have to spend your nights underground helping me with my own crusade.” He sighed as he ran a hand over her face, “But..no point thinking about that now, right?” He asked.

[misstechgenius]

"I'll admit, weekends wouldn't be nearly as exciting." Felicity chuckled. Her hand reached up hesitantly to meet his, holding his own hand to her face. It felt comfortable with him there. "Even though it is terrifying, really terrifying, at points, it's nice to know that I'm doing something to help. Even if it is just Oliver Queen's personal researcher." She teased. "Besides, who knows where you'd be without me."

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

Oliver shook his head again, “You didn’t put me in any position…and I’d do it again in a heartbeat,” he said seriously. “It was easy, Felicity….like I said he had you and was gonna hurt you…it was an easy decision.” When she mentioned Tommy being proud of him he smiled a little at it, though he didn’t comment. He had no idea of Tommy would be proud, but he certainly wasn’t when he found out who he was. “So…are you gonna be okay?” He asked her quietly. “Are you gonna….stop being ashamed of being scared?”

[misstechgenius]

"I think so...I'm definitely going to try." Felicity admitted, running a hand through her hair. Having Oliver here made her feel more brave than she really was. Felicity wondered if he even realized the effect he had on people...on her. He gave the people of Starling hope for a better city and he gave Felicity the courage to be brave...like him. "Thank you Oliver. I don't know what I would do without you." She chuckled slightly, moving her glasses back into place. 

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

Oliver looked at her, “You are strong,” he said seriously. “Stop thinking you’re weak,” he shook his head as he frowned. “I don’t think you need constant protection, Felicity,” he mumbled, his voice quiet. “When I was…first stranded on the island I was scared…all the time,” he told her. “And…I learned to turn the fear into something else..I learned to get myself out of situations that scared me, so I be came less afraid….But that takes time…and effort and….years of practice. And I was scared when he took you,” he whispered. “I was afraid he was going to hurt you…so afraid that I…went back on my word to Tommy that I’d never kill again because I had to save you. You aren’t weak…and you’re more than allowed to be freaked out,” he gave her a reassuring half smile as he kept his gaze on her eyes.

[misstechgenius]

There was a pause as she let his words sink in. Felicity still felt guilty that she had been the one to make him go back on his word. "I'm sorry I put you in that position." She murmured, finally braving a look into the archer's eyes. "I know that wasn't easy for you." Her eyes filled with concern now as her lips pressed together, her head cocked to the side. He hardly talked about Tommy anymore, but whenever he did Felicity could tell he was telling the truth. He was right, she was allowed to be scared...all she needed to do was to learn how to handle it better. "I think Tommy would be very proud of you if he could see you today." Felicity offered.

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

He nodded, completely understanding when she said she couldn’t get him out of her head. He cupped the side of her face, “Hey, listen to me,” he said quietly when she told him she didn’t know what to do. “I’m gonna tell you what to do, okay?” he asked as he gave her a small nod. He brushed his thumb over her cheekbone, “You’re going to take a deep breath…..and let it out,” he whispered, watching her. “And you’re going to let me take care of you,” he told her. “And you’re gonna…talk to me whenever you need to talk to me. You’re allowed to be scared…you’re allowed to cry and have nightmares…there’s nothing wrong with it…it doesn’t make you weak…You’re going to be okay,” he said to her. “You’re gonna make it through this, I promise,” he nodded as he gave her a small smile.

[misstechgenius]

"I want to be strong." Felicity insisted, shaking her head. "I don't want for you to have to take care of me." She explained. "I mean...it's not that I don't appreciate it or anything..." She started to fumble, great. "What I mean to say is...I don't want you to see me as someone who needs constant protection." Felicity wanted to be like him. "You hardly seem afraid of anything, Oliver. I'm sure you could have been in my shoes and would have handled it according or whatever. I don't think you're scared of much. You definitely wouldn't be this scared, this freaked out."

          “Looks like I’ll be giving Oliver a run for his money,” he joked. Barry knew he could never match up to Oliver’s level. The things he did as the Arrow were practically inhumane. It probably took years of training and pain to get to achieve those things. Barry would probably be back in the hospital if he ever attempted the things Oliver could do.

          He was relieved to hear that the food wasn’t all that bad here. Maybe it would make his stay a little more bearable. “Good. I don’t want to eat anything that will make me feel worse than I already do.”  Barry would to stay in the hospital as long as he had to, but as soon as he was cleared, he planned on booking it home again. He didn’t want anything, not even questionable food items, to extend his stay.

          They made their way down the hallway, slowly but surely. Barry even started picking up the pace as he got adjusted to moving the limbs that had been still for so long. His body ached everywhere, but it was nothing he couldn’t handle. “Everything still hurts, but it’s a lot easier than I thought it would be. Before you know it, you won’t be able to keep up.”

[misstechgenius]

          "I'm sure." Felicity agreed with a smile. "Who knows, maybe you could be his sidekick. Every great superhero needs one right?" But for some reason, Felicity couldn't quite picture Barry in some red spandex suit. Then again, a few months ago she doubt she could have pictured Oliver Queen, billionaire CEO masquerading as 'the Hood". 

          She backed up as he started to walk on his own, standing close in case he needed her. Felicity had spent most of her time as a teenager in the hospital with her daredevil brother, who had broken 7 bones in the span of four years. She recognized nearly all the nurses at Starling General and they knew her as well. Central City, however was a completely different ball game.

          "So, any idea on when they'll let you out?" She asked careful to guide him around any and all obstacles including machines, chairs and other patients on their way to the cafeteria on the ground floor. "I'm sure your boss is wondering when on earth he's going to get his assistant back."

[lostitallinthequake]

Excuse me? *Gen paused, seeing the woman come out from the back. She’d just been wrapping things up and going home when she came out*

[misstechgenius]

"Uh....nothing"

[inaflxsh-deactivated20140804]

          ”I’m a triple threat, what can I say?”

{ He laughed. }

          "I’ll be giving Mariah a run for her money."

[misstechgenius]

"How were your holidays?"

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

[oliver-oneshot-queen]

Oliver smiled a little when she fell asleep, paying attention to her breathing as it evened and he felt her body relax. He kissed the top of her head before he dipped his head down a little and closed his eyes, sighing a bit. A few hours later he heard her screaming and his eyes shot open, causing him to sit up straight, his heart hammering in his chest. After a quick glance around her room he sighed a bit, looking over at her. He shook his head as he reached out and cupped her face, “You don’t have to apologize,” he told her as he sighed, his body relaxing. “You’re okay.” he told her as he brushed his thumb over her cheekbone. “You slept for a few hours before you had your nightmare,” he said as he gestured to the clock. “That’s gotta be better than your normal time, right?” He asked her as he smiled a bit. “Was it the Count again?” he pushed his brows together.

[misstechgenius]

Her heart pounding, Felicity gave a little nod, moving her glasses up to her head so she could rub her tired eyes. "I can't-I can't get him out of my head." She stammered, trying to stop herself from shaking. "I don't know what to do anymore. I can't sleep, I can't eat. Every night I picture him shooting up my family, my friends, you and John..." Felicity trailed off, her voice dying in her throat. Why did she think she would be able to do this? She wasn't a fighter, she was no hero. Felicity was just a normal girl, except now she was more terrified than she had ever been in her life. When she had been in the Count's hands, she was so sure she was going to die. At 24 it hardly seemed fair. There was still so much she wanted to do and say. Felicity backed up to the arm of her couch, raking her fingers through her blonde hair. "I don't know what to do Oliver."

[inaflxsh-deactivated20140804]

            ”All I want for Christmas is youuuuuu.”

{ Was he really singing Mariah Carey? Yes, he was. He continued to hum along to the overplayed song until he heard someone behind him. }

            ”Oh god, sorry. Merry Christmas?”

[misstechgenius]

          "Smart, handsome and you can sing? Barry Allen is the whole package."

Felicity teased from the door frame, covering her mouth to stifle a giggle. 'Tis the season, she guessed.

          "Merry Christmas Mariah."

Oliver shook his head, “You don’t have to be sorry,” he said to her. “Felicity these problems aren’t normal problems,” he said as he reached over and set his hand on her shoulder. He gave it a gently squeeze as he looked at her, “You have to do things to make yourself feel better instead of worrying about Diggle and me.” He looked at her, watching as she pushed her glasses up and rubbed her face, knowing this was a lot for her.

He shifted as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against him, pressing his lips to the top of her head, sighing as he settled his cheek against her blonde curls. “You need to relax,” he said quietly. “Just for tonight….just close your eyes and try to relax, okay?”

[misstechgenius]

          Before she could protest, Felicity found herself pressed up against the archer's chest. It was funny, he said to relax but Felicity could feel her heart racing. OK, come on Felicity...relax...She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and exhaled. She could do this, she could relax.

          But as always as soon as her eyes were closed, he appeared. The Count, cold and menacing, stood over her with a hypodermic needle full of Vertigo in it's purest form in his hand. Felicity tried to sit up and escape, but she found herself tied down to a table of sorts. She screamed, but no sound came out. The Count laughed and bent down to press the needle in her arm. Finally, Felicity could hear herself shout. She pushed Oliver arms out of the way, how long had she been sleeping? "Crap...Oliver I'm sorry, I didn't meant to..." She gasped, hand over her racing heart.
