Hi guys! Let me start by saying WOW thank you so much for all the Reviews, Favorites and Follows. I think that might be the most i have ever had for a single chapter! Anyway because you guys were so nice and had some absolutely stellar ideas about where i could take this story i decided to continue it and post the rest as soon as possible.
The last chapter is half written i just haven't written the in between (I'm a bit backwards like that!)

Anyway please enjoy and let me know what you think, the next chapter should be posted tomorrow! I do not own Arrow otherwise Stephan Amell & Colton Hayes would have to permanently walk around with no shirt on!


Felicity held it together until she got to her car, she sat in put the key in the ignition and then the tears came. She never had thought in a million years that it would be that hard yet even after all that, he still didn't know the truth; he didn't know the extent of her true feelings for him.

What does it matter Felicity thought, after today it's clear he doesn't feel the same.

She drove to her apartment and climbed the steps to her floor, before she knew it she was at the door, but what she saw stopped her dead. Her door was ajar, Felicity stood there for a minute or two trying to gain some sort of control, her heart was racing so bad she could hear it beating.

Pull yourself together girl! She thought you are the Green Arrows sidekick for god sake, well you were

Taking a deep breathe, and the pepper spray from her purse, she took a shaky step towards her door, and slowly pushed it open. What she saw surprised her, nothing was tampered with, and everything was as it had been left. Felicity rolled her eyes at herself; I must have forgotten to lock it she thought as she pushed it closed and turned on the lights, leading herself straight to her bathroom to take a shower.

A million thoughts ran through her head, what to do now that her world had been completely and utterly torn asunder. Could I really go Central City? She thought I could check on Barry and find a small IT job near to the hospital. What about Gotham City? Just last week I received a phone call from Lucius Fox offering me a job, I suppose it's a bonus having your old college professor working for such a substantial company.

She started to feel better; she knew that no matter what she had options, that she knew she could be of use elsewhere. She stood with the first real smile she had had on her face all day and made her way towards her bedroom. She switched the light on a jumped, but was rather proud of the fact she didn't scream.

On her chair sat by her window was a man, a rather strapping man, dressed in a suit clearly older than her judging by the grey stripes running down his head. And a black patch covering his eye, who are you she thought the CEO of pirates, and then she had to fight the urge to laugh. Pull yourself together woman there is a strange man in your bedroom but still under normal circumstances id probably even find him attractive. She literally had the urge to face palm herself, my brain is weird!

Finally the man turned towards her, "Hello Miss Smoak" He said in a deep gravelly voice.

"Who are you? And what exactly are you doing in my bedroom?" She asked trying to sound as authoritive as possible.

"Well you see I have a problem, this problem I have been working on for quite some time but obviously over time things change, people change ergo so must my plans for said problem"

"Okayyy… if you could give me that in English that would be great" She didn't know where that came from, but after all the shit she had had to deal with today she was feeling rather brave.

"Well then let me see if I can't explain myself a little better, I want Oliver Queen to suffer in every single way possible, my original plan was to take Laurel Lance however while she means a great deal to him, he does not feel the same towards her as he does to you. Taking you from him would deliver a blow a lot stronger than taking Laurel. Was that clear enough for you?"

Felicity stood in shock for a few seconds "I don't understand, I don't mean anything to Oliver Queen, I don't even work for him any longer"

"Oh is that so? Not even in his batcave?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

Ok play it cool Felicity "Batcave?"

"Let's stop this right now shall we, I know that Oliver Queen is the vigilante known as the Arrow. I know that you, he and a man named John Diggle spend your nights in a little secret hideout trying to save this city"

"Who are you?" Felicity asked scared of what exactly the answer would be.

"Ahh how rude of me, Slade Wilson" he said with a condescending bow.

Felicity's breathe caught in her throat, "How? You're dead"

"Well that's a very long winded story, perhaps for another day" He started to walk towards her extending his arm, she backed away from him as much as she possibly could, he stopped in his tracks. "Miss Smoak let me assure you right here and now, I have no intention of hurting you. But if you don't come with me now then that plan will have to change. Do you understand?" She nodded her head "I am not leaving this apartment without you, there are ways in which I can force you but I do not wish to do so. Now please come with me before I start doing things that you will no doubt regret"

"Whatever your plan is, it won't work with me. Oliver does not care for me"

"Oh I do not believe for a second that he cares for you" Slade replied "I know he loves you. Now we are leaving, I suggest you do as told"

He walked towards Felicity and gripped her elbow pulling her towards her front door. "Wait" She said "Can I at least grab my cardigan" She motioned to a grey cardigan with black silhouettes of swallows where it was slung over the kitchen counter, where she had thrown it when arriving home. He looked at her then at the cardigan and nodded his head. She walked around the far side a picked up the cardigan with one hand, while simultaneously setting off a panic alarm; she had fitted in all their homes several months ago. As soon as she pushed the button an alarm started sounding in the basement of Verdant, where luckily both Diggle and Oliver were currently talking about the events that had occurred that day.

As soon as the alarm sounded Oliver looked up and over to the computer console "that's the private home alarms" Diggle said

"And if we are here" Oliver replied

"Then its Felicitiys alarm!" Diggle finished his sentence for him.

Diggle ran to the computer console, while Oliver grabbed his hood, "Oliver!" Diggle shouted after a few minutes of searching. "Look what ive found"

Oliver emerged in full Green Arrow get up and approached Diggle. "Look" Diggle said pointing towards the middle screen.

What Oliver saw there stopped his heart. It was CCTV footage of the outside of Felicitys building, it showed her being forced into a black limousine by none other than Slade Wilson, who then turned towards the camera and looked directly at it. Once he knew that the camera had captured him, he turned entered the car and it drove off.

"That's… that's impossible" Oliver spoke, his voice no more than a whisper.

"What? Oliver? Do you know this man?" Digg asked worry etched across his face.

"It's Slade Wilson"

"But you said you killed him, you said he was dead"

"I put an arrow through his eye"

"That would explain the eye patch" Diggle replied

"We need to do something; she's in so much danger just being near him. He will kill her without a second thought"

"Okay, how?" Truthfully neither of them had any idea, Felicity was the one who traced people, this was her tech! Oliver sat down next to DIgg and both just stared at the computer screen almost as if they expected them to do exactly what they needed without them doing anything. Just then Oliver's phone began to ring, as he lifted it from the side, the screen read Felicity.

"Digg it's him"

They both stared at each other as Oliver swiped the screen to answer the call, "Hello"

"My old friend, it's been too long"

"Slade, where's Felicity?"

"Oh she's here, with me. I've been telling her old stories from the island; you know how you let Shado die, how you injected me with mirakuru, how you shot me through the eye! How no matter what you will always choose a Lance!"

For a moment Oliver was silent, "Slade, please, we need to talk"

"No Oliver what I need is your dead body, so here's the plan, come to me within the next 4 hours. You will come alone, inform Mr Diggle that if he is seen anywhere near you I will not hesitate to kill her. When and only when I have you, will I release her"

"How can I trust that you'll let her go when you have me" Oliver asked, observing that while his methods were extreme Slade sounded much more coherent and controlled than he ever had after being injected with the Mirakuru.

Slade was beginning to get angry and both he and Oliver knew what happened when his anger takes over. "Well let me see, I have your girl, I also have big plans for this city, most of which I doubt you will like very much so if you are genuine about saving this city, I really don't think you have a choice. The address will be sent to your phone. See you soon Oliver"

With that the line went dead, as Oliver placed the phone down a text message with the address appeared on screen. "Digg I have to go, if I don't he will kill her"

"Fine, then I'm coming with you"

"You can't, if he sees you anywhere near he will kill her"

"So what then? You go in alone?"

"It's the only way, if I try anything else, he will kill her"

They had come to an impasse, "We have no choice Digg"

"Ok ok, so what's the plan?"

"I'll figure it out when I get there"

"You'll figure it out when you get there? You're just going to hand yourself over, aren't you? No back up, no plan just hand yourself over so that he frees her" Digg said finally realising exactly what Oliver's plan was.

"That's the plan"
