It had been a long day already and one Felicity did not really want to repeat if she could avoid it. Working at a coffee shop just to keep up the appearance of having a job sucked. She didn’t need to be there. She didn’t want to be there. It was below her education and pay grade level but... no one was supposed to know that now. No one was even supposed to know that she was Felicity Smoak. Married to Oliver Queen.
No. As far as everyone around here new she was the single mom with pink hair that worked at a coffee shop to make ends meet. At least Argus didn’t put them in a place that looked like she worked like that. That would have been too much like her childhood for her to handle.
Wiliam was at home, waiting for her as usual, and all she needed to do at this point was get in her car and go and she could check today off of her calendar as another wasted one when she could have been doing something more. Something better.
No. She wasn’t bitter at all.
She used this walk from her job to her car as her only scheduled time to feel like this because at work she needed to do well... work and at home she did not want William to pick up on any of her anger at there situation since it wasn’t his fault at all. No he was just another victim of circumstance in this case that got stuck with her. The kid was going to need therapy for the rest of his life.
That was the last thought she gave on the matter though as she reached her destination, keys out and clicking the button to unlock the door. Not noticing the shadow in her back seat she climbed in and shut it behind her until she turned to put her bag on the passengers seat and let out a scream at the sight in the mirror.
It was like deja vu-- only he wasn’t bleeding out all over her car this time. Or at least she didn’t notice if he had yet then again she wasn’t fully sure she was seeing him in her back seat or if it was just her mind playing tricks on her.
“Oliver!?’ She screamed his name as she jumped in her seat to turn around. Ready to defend herself in case she was just seeing his face but really it was someone else.
