You pressed the ice pack gingerly to your throbbing cheek. Then to the aching pain in your eye, no doubt already turning black. You tried not to think about what had happened, and what almost happened. But when you were alone, your thoughts betrayed your feelings and you found yourself drifting back to the events that took place only an hour ago...

You had been walking home from work, much later than usual do to the arrow team having business in Russia which, left all of Oliver's work to you. You would have taken the car, but it was in the shop getting its breaks replaced. Then to top it all off construction was blocking your normal route so, you had to take a detour. It was an extra 15 minutes, but the night air was so cool you didn't really mind. Even though walking alone at this time might not have been the best idea, you were armed with the pepper spray Oliver made you carry and were doubtful anything would actually happen.

But then of course something did, because the universe loves to prove you wrong...

A Muffled scream drew your attention to the alley just up ahead. Others might have dismissed the sound, and concluded that it was a distressed animal or something, but you knew well from your time with team arrow that it was in fact screaming.

You being you didn't hesitate and stealthily peeked around the side of the wall, Your eyes widened as you saw a young girl pinned on the ground, her screams were muffled by a man smothering her mouth with one of his hands and the other trapped her hands above her head. He started to kiss her neck and trail down. You left the wall and frantically looked around for anyone that could help but the streets were empty. Of course it was, who in their right mind would be out this late?! Oh yeah you...

Quickly you sifted in your purse, Phone, phone, come on where are you- Shit! You cursed yourself as you remembered you left it in the office charging. You were panicking now, by the time you went and got help the girl would be-! No you had to do something, for the girls sake.

Courageously you grabbed the pepper spray, and neared the ally again. But before you charged at the attacker something washed over you and suddenly all your courage was replaced with fear.

C'mon you can do this Y/N, the team saves people all the time, it'll be fine... Well it would be if you don't consider the fact that they are also highly trained and have weapons...

Ugh stop being such a coward Y/n, you're apart of team arrow too. And when someone is in danger you help them.

With a newfound strength you turn into the alleyway, footsteps as quiet as a mouse. As you neared them you realized that you couldn't risk spraying the girl too so with all your force you kicked the attacker off the girl instead.

By his sloppy fall and stench you could tell he was drunk. The girl immediately shot up and clung to you. Her small form shaking as you held her.

"Are you alright?! Did he hurt you?!" You held her face in your hands examining it, she was too much in shock to say anything but it seemed she hadn't been physically hurt, much to your relief.

"You bitch!" Both of you gasped as the attacker rose up and tried to come at you both.

"Run! Now!" You pushed the girl in the other direction and wasted no time spraying him right in the eyes.

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DAMNIT! WHAT DID YOU DO!" He fell to the floor writhing in pain.

You smirked down at his pathetic form,"That'll teach you not to mess with girls ever again"

Wow you had actually protected someone instead of the other way around. Wait until the team hears about this, maybe you would get your own hood? You could almost see it now, Assistant by day, super pepper sprayer by night, you laughed at your own lame joke.

You had been too distracted to notice something or rather someone creeping up behind you. You gasped as you were grabbed suddenly and with so much force that you dropped the bottle in shock and couldn't do anything about it as the offender slammed your body with full force against the alley wall. You cried out as shocks of pain ran through your back.

When your eyes finally focused, panic spread through you like lightning. It was another man that attacked you, and he was not like the one passed out on the floor. No this man was tall and built like the wall you were trapped against.

You tried to scream but he caught on quickly and gripped your neck hard, surely leaving marks there. You clawed at his hands desperately, already seeing black spots and feeling light headed.

"Try to scream again and I'll rip your throat out" He gripped harder.

You thought he wasn't going to let go but at the last moment just before you thought you would pass out he did. And you fell to the floor in a heap coughing and gasping. Just when you thought it was over he picked you up by your collar and looked you in the eyes. A flash or recognition flashed across and an evil smirk appeared.

"Well well well, looks like it's my lucky day" You shut your eyes as he stroked your face with his rough hand. "Its not everyday you get to meet mayor pretty boys assistant"

Fear coursed through your veins, he must have recognized you from TV or something, you hoped to god that the girl had run and gotten help. Because that was your only hope. Oliver wasn't going to swoop in and save you. You were on your own this time...

"You know that mayor of yours is the reason my brother is in jail right now, and what kind of brother would I be if I didn't get revenge? So I think what I'll do is leave a message for that mayor of yours" You shrieked as he slammed you to the ground, pinning you down with his weight. You were unable to move your legs and no matter how much you struggled he was too strong.

That was the first time you truly feared for your life. Before when you were in trouble Oliver and the team would always arrive just in time, but they wouldn't now. You had never felt so scared or helpless in your life.

"P-Please D-don't" You cried out, voice hoarse from being strangled. He looked at you furiously and before you could tell what had happened your face was looking at the passed out attacker and it was only when you felt the sting on your cheek that your realized he had slapped you...Hard. Your vision was blurry and you didn't have much strength left in you. Yet you still continued to fight him. He eventually got really pissed off and started fighting you back. First your face then your stomach, punch after punch after punch. You had stopped struggling after awhile, deciding it was better to save the little strength you had for when he was finished with you. Maybe he would let you live. You doubted it though, he had a grudge and he said he wanted to send a message.

You felt a moment of relief when he stopped hitting you, but a new panic set in when his hand returned to touch under your shirt.

You watched him helplessly, to weak to do anything as he stroked your thighs and began moving upward. The tears that ran down your face were probably going to be your last. This isn't what was supposed to happen, all you wanted to do was help that girl but you never thought it would end like this. There was so much you needed to do, so much you hadn't done... And the one person you wished you could see just one more time flashed across your mind. He was the person you cared for more than anything. And now you would never get the chance to tell Oliver how you felt about him. You were planning to tell him when he came back, finally you had the courage but now it didn't matter.

And just when you were about to give up, to let your eyes shut forever you heard someone yelling. Your head was to dizzy to understand the words but soon you found the weight on top of you lifted, and you shot up with sudden adrenaline. You watched as a single cop threw down the man, cuffing him within seconds. You turned to the opening of the alley seeing the girl you saved watching worriedly,

So she did go get help. You sighed in relief. She didn't make any move to get closer, you couldn't blame her.

The cop had said something to you, still on top of the attacker, but the adrenaline in you kicked into high gear and you found yourself running like a madman away from the alley. Every inch of your body throbbed in pain, Your head, your face, your stomach. You could barely see straight and you didn't know where this sudden strength came from but all you knew was you wanted to get the hell away and to the safest place you knew...

So that's what happened. And how you found yourself curled up in a ball of pain on a table in the arrow cave. The adrenaline had long worn off and thinking back you knew you should have waited for the cop. Thanked him or her at least. But in that moment you didn't think you just acted.

The sharp pain in your stomach brought you back to reality and you gingerly lifted your shirt and pressed the ice there.

When you first stumbled into the cave you almost fainted at your reflection in a showcase, the majority of your face was covered in black and blue spots. Your neck had bruises in the shape of fingers, and when you lifted up your shirt you had to look away. You were hurt bad... But you hated hospitals and didn't want strangers touching you, even if they were trying to help...

You had made quite a mess, bloody gauze and tissues littered around the overflowing trash bin. And various medical supplies tossed around beside you. You had tried to bandage yourself but were too sore to move your arms like that. So you just decided to get some of the swelling down. You laid back down, the cold table feeling like heaven against your battered body.

Another 20 minutes passed and just as you were about to try bandaging again, a familiar sound of footsteps and a door closing made you shoot up in panic. You immediately recognized that it was Oliver. He was behind you and before he could see you, you looked down, your hair covering your face.. Your heart beating out of control. You didn't want him to see you like this..

The footsteps stopped and you took in a deep breath, clutching your hands tightly.

"Y/N?" Oliver's confused voice echoed throughout the bunker.

You didn't move, too scared to let him see you like this. You would do anything to make him turn around and leave. So you decided to stall for as long as you could.

"I-I thought y-you weren't g-gonna be b-back until t-tomorrow..." You regretted speaking now, your hoarse voice a sure giveaway.

Oliver didn't answer but you heard his footsteps quicken across the room when he realized something was wrong with you.

"What happened?!" He demanded as he knelt down in front of you and reached for your face, but the suddenness scared you and you flinched back. He snapped his hand back.

He took a breathe and spoke again, softly this time, taking care not to scare you.

"Y/N, tell me what happened." You could feel his hard stare burning into you but you continued to stay silent. Your only response was to look away.

He stayed silent a moment but pressed again,"It's ok, I'm here now, you're safe".

His gentle words stirred something in you and he was right. He was the one person you could always feel safe with. So with all your courage you slowly pulled your face up until your teary eyes met with his Ocean blue ones, first turning wide in shock and concern, and then narrowing with seriousness and anger.

"Tell me who did this" He demanded, his voice laced with an anger you've only heard when he confronted enemies. "Tell me who did this and I swear-" You cut him off before he could go any further.

"N-No! I-it's fine, I'm fine ok, p-please..." You trailed off not knowing why you didn't want Oliver finding out who it was. Maybe you were scared of what Oliver would do, or maybe you just wanted to forget everything that had happened. "I-I don't w-want to t-talk about it Please O-Oliver..."

Oliver looked like he was about to protest but decided not to push you further. After a few moments he sighed, his face an expression you couldn't quite make out.

He reached out his hand again carefully and this time you let him come close to you.

His calloused fingers moved your H/C locks out of your face until all your bruises were on display. You heard him suck in a sharp breath.

"I'm sorry...I should have been there" He nodded angry at himself.

You shook your head, "I-it wasn't your fault Oliver... you didn't know... If anything it was mine for being stupid and distracted and not running while I had the chance..."

The words were out of your mouth before you realized and Oliver was quick to push again, "Y/n I want to help you, and I need to know what happened in order to do that".

You thought it over for a moment, Oliver's piercing stare made you shift uncomfortably but you soon realized that it was a big mistake. The pain coming back in one sharp concentrated jab, only this time much worse. You winced sharply and leaned forward clutching your stomach.

Oliver frantically asked if you were alright, although all you could manage was a nod through the new wave of dizziness.

Suddenly you found yourself pitching forward, Oliver of course was quick to react and before you knew what was happening you found your head supported on Oliver's chest and his arms cradling you close. His cologne enveloping you and made you feel calmer and safe.
