Chicago

Felicity woke up in her bed in Chicago and smiled as she looked the view from the window.

It's been three months since she got out of rehab and a year since she had been in Starling City. The team keeps calling her but she doesn't pick up that phone.

Today is her first day back at House 51 and on Truck 81 and she was excited to say the least.

"Okay! Let's do this!" She told herself encouragingly. Something she started doing so two months in rehab it helped.

Once she had done her routine she quickly open the door only to come face to face with Amanda Waller's fist ready to knock on her door.

"WOW!" Felicity exclaimed caught off guard.

"Hello, miss Smoak." Amanda said as she walked in.

"Yeah, walk right in it's not like I have somewhere to be." Felicity mumbled annoyed.

"Okay so here it goes! I'm here to ask you a favor." Amanda said slightly hesitant and shy which caused Felicity to furrow her eyebrows and look at the woman before her confused as she folded her arms.

"I need you to be my friend. There! I said it!" Amanda said embarrassed and Felicity raised her eyebrows shocked.

"Why?" Felicity asked confused.

"Okay. Here it goes. My real name is Vicky Glass I'm a Navy combat doctor who was hired by ARGUS...well not hire exactly they threatened my family and especially my daughter Tia if I didn't help them train Oliver. So I did later they continued asking favors and threatening until I master up the courage to contact my superiors and report them. And they told me to continue doing what I do because ARGUS had taken hostages some fellow Navy and I needed to rescue them. So I continue working with them when they ask me to go by the alias of Amanda Waller then I knew I was getting in higher rank and closer to my fellow Navy hostages. So when the right time came I betrayed ARGUS and saved the Navy hostages. In other words ARGUS as you know it doesn't exist anymore, Lyla made sure to turn it around. I always liked that woman!" Amanda rambled quickly and Felicity stare shocked at her.

"There is more. Now I'm back to my normal life but I can't seem to fit in anymore until I met Ethan who introduced me to Connor who is apparently Oliver's not so dead best friend and then they told me about you. You are the only person I trust except Ethan and Connor who I'm trying to start trusting them. Besides my daughter Tia she goes to the same school you went." Amanda finished quickly and then she sighed tired.

"Um...I'm shocked! Um...of course I can be your friend if you promise not to tell Oliver where I am. I almost kill myself a year ago because the whole Arrow business was too much for my already burdened mental health." Felicity said quietly as Amanda stare at her wide eyed.

"You tried to kill yourself? When?"

"The same night we stopped Slade. I sliced my wrists with a kitchen knife and Connor with Will and Kelly found me in a pool of my own blood." Felicity explained with tears in her eyes.

Amanda stood up from the couch and hugged her catching Felicity off guard.

"I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay now. So, how do I call you?" Felicity asked Amanda once they stopped hugging.

"Vicky. I hate the name Amanda." Vicky said in disgust.

Felicity nodded and both girls headed for their respected work places.

Starling City (Chicago and Starling City have twelve hours difference in my story so it's night)

Oliver was looking over Felicity's former apartment. After they put away Slade she disappeared only for him to get an e-mail from her telling him she had to leave the team for family reasons. She never told where she would be but Oliver thought she meant Las Vegas.

He sent more e-mails to the e-mail address but got no answer for months until on the three months mark the address was deleted.

Diggs searched her social media accounts but all of them were deleted or put into private mode.

Oliver was getting worried and that affected his skills on the street.

In general the team wasn't the same without her.

Chicago

The new friends said goodbye once they reached Felicity's car and Felicity said;

"Hey! Amand...I mean Vicky would you like to meet me at Molly's for dinner and drinks?" Felicity asked smiling kindly at the curious face of Vicky.

"Yes. I will bring my daughter with me so you two can meet. Thank you, Felicity! It means a lot what you do." Vicky said truthfully.

"You're welcome. I can't wait to meet Tia, something tells me that she would be an amazing kid. Have a nice day at work!" Felicity said with a bright smile as she opened the car.

"You too!" Vicky said as she climbed into the car as well and drove off.

Felicity drove to House 51 with a bright smile the day had just started yet she felt happy that she made a new friend and was excited to see her friends.

"HELLO!" Felicity yelled wondering why the firehouse was empty. She wasn't early or late she was just in time. Suddenly the lights went out.

"SURPRISE!! WELCOME BACK!"

Once the lights were open she saw the whole teams holding a banner with the words "Welcome Back" and the dog Pouch run to her as she hugged him.

"Thank you guys!" Felicity said as she smiled widely and had tears of happiness in her eyes as Dawson and Brett with Kidd hugged her.

Then it was Herman's and Kelly's turn to hug her, she fist pumped with Otis and Cruz and hugged Peter and Jimmy. Jimmy also picked her up and twirled her around causing her to laugh.

Peter than handed her a plate of eggs, bacon and sausages.

"Eat up, missy!" Peter said winking and Felicity blushed as she smiled.

"You're going to make me fat, aren't you?" Felicity joked as both sat down next to each other.

"OH! YEAH!" He said as smirked to her.

"Oh! Get over with it, lovers!" Kidd yelled from the other side of the room smirking at those two.

"Get over with what?" Peter faked confusion.

He had a crush on Felicity since High School and never acted on it. He dated Dawson in hopes of getting over her but that didn't help all the way...he fell for both girls.

"If you say so. So, Peter...you and me on a date tomorrow night, deal?" Felicity suggested with a smile.

"Sure!" Peter said slightly blushing as he smiled.

"Halleluiah!" Kidd and Kelly exclaimed at the same time causing Peter and Felicity choke on their breakfast.

"Where is Shay?" Felicity asked Kelly as they cleaned equipment later on shift.

(A/N: In my story Shay is alive but works different shifts now since Brett and Dawson became the main paramedics.)

"Works different hours since Brett showed up. Now she fills in for Kevinson because the he had a heart attack and was told that he needed surgery." Kelly explained while he dusted some boots and Felicity polished them.

"Oh! I hope the surgery goes well. He's at Med right? I will pass by to see how Avella holds up." Felicity said concerned.

Suddenly the was a call;

"Squad 3 Ambulance 61 and Truck 81. Shooter at Lincoln's Park High School."

"SHIT!" Felicity and Kelly exclaimed as they rushed to get ready along with the others.

Starling City: Same Time

Oliver and Laurel were training and Diggs was watching the news with Little Sara on his lap.

"We just got the breaking news from Chicago that at Lincoln's Park High School there is a shooter inside along with the 800 students and teachers. Firefighters, ambulances and police even military are outside trying to negotiate with the shooter! Our prayers are with them!" The news lady said worried as scenes of the Lincoln's Park High School showed on the monitor.

Oliver and Laurel with Diggs watched as they held their breaths.

Chicago: Lincoln's Park High School

"I will allow a firefighter and two paramedics in! A girl went into seizure!" The shooter, a sixteen year old boy, said into the phone.

Hank Voight sighed as he turn to look at Felicity, Gabby and Brett who nodded and run inside.

"You have them." He said in displeasure in his voice.

"I'll try to talk to him. Work on the girl, alright?" Felicity whispered at her best friends who nodded afraid.

"Hey! What is your name?" Felicity tried to start a conversation with the shooter in order to get info on him. She saw from the corner of her eyes that a girl was shooting the whole thing on her phone, secretly.

"William, why?" The boy said as he held his gun aiming to Felicity who had her hands up.

"Nice to meet you William, I'm Felicity. Mind telling me why you are doing this? Did someone bullied you or made you do this?" She asked gently as the boy cried.

"They...they...called me a coward! Now I have a gun! WHO IS A COWEARD NOW, HUH?!? HUH?" The boy yelled crying as he aimed the gun on the ceiling and shot causing screams to be heard and parts of the ceiling fall on the floor.

Felicity kept holding her hands in surrender and kept looking at William, she showed no emotion.

"You know that there are other ways to show them you are brave, more peaceful ways." Felicity said gently as she walked closer to him as he kept pointing the gun at her.

"You don't know how it feels! You are pretty! I bet in school you had a lot of friends!" The boy cried enraged Felicity laughed sadly.

"Thank you for calling me pretty, William but you are wrong. I had no friends...ever! I raised my little sister since my mum was a prostitute. When I was your age I got shot by one of her boy toys, he was chocking me and tried to rape me. My sister Samantha, she had a lot of friends, she was raped that night at a party...she saved me but I got shot...I almost died. I testified against my own flesh and blood. Fun fact I was going to that school too, have you seen any pictures of me on the walls or in trophies? No, you don't because I was nobody! I turn out okay though." Felicity said to William as she walked closer to him while holding her hands up in surrender.

"I had heard about that, I was six when it happened. I'm sorry for having such a bitch for a mother." William said sadly.

"Ha! That makes two of us, pal! But there is no reason to become a murderer because some brainless kids told you that you are a coward. Their words won't follow you into college or later when you get a job and have a family of your own. But what you do right now; this will stain your record! Don't you want to go to a good college, William? What do you want to be?" Felicity continue chating him up. She wanted to get the gun away from him.

"I want to become a History Professor. I like European History. Especially Roman Empire that is Ancient History I guess." William said with a sad smile as he lowered the gun.

"That is nice, William. Now please let all those kids and my friends the paramedics free." Felicity said hopeful as she stare at William who then smiled sadly.

"Now it's done. My record is stained." He said as he aimed the gun at his head and pulled the trigger blowing up his head.

"NO!" Felicity yelled as blood splashed on her face and then in her arms held a dead William.

"No!" She cried as she held him as military and police emptied the school.

"Felicity? Felicity?" Hank's voice made her look at him.

"I should have grabbed the gun, Hank. I should have! He would still be alive!" Felicity cried as paramedics took the body away from her.

"He might have shot you in the process." Hank said sadly.

"I don't care. He would still be alive. He would have return to his mum." Felicity said with tears.

Will and Natalie rushed to her ones she was in Med in order to get her checked.

Starling City:

"We have life feed from inside as a Firefighter tries to talk the shooter out of whatever he is about to do! Watch with caution!" The news lady said as the scene of Felicity talking to William played. Oliver, Laurel and Diggs exchanged a worried look as Diggs hugged little Sara preventing her from seeing the screen.

Scene:

"Hey! What is your name?" Felicity tried to start a conversation with the shooter in order to get info on him. She glanced the camera for a second before returning her gaze to the shooter.

"William, why?" The boy said as he held his gun aiming to Felicity who had her hands up.

"Nice to meet you William, I'm Felicity. Mind telling me why you are doing this? Did someone bullied you or made you do this?" She asked gently as the boy cried.

"They...they...called me a coward! Now I have a gun! WHO IS A COWEARD NOW, HUH?!? HUH?" The boy yelled crying as he aimed the gun on the ceiling and shot causing screams to be heard and parts of the ceiling fall on the floor.

"NO!" Felicity yelled as blood splashed on her face and then in her arms held a dead William.

Live feed ended:

"THAT WAS FELICITY!" Oliver and Diggs exclaimed in shock.

"What is she doing there?" Laurel asked shocked as she watched the footage replay.

"We'll have to find out." Oliver said as he watched the dotage in sadness and betrayal.

Chicago:

"Doc. Hella Good Hair, I'm fine! I need to get home, have a shower and meet up with Vicky and Tia and have a big glass of cold beer! Preferable a big cold glass of black beer...or maybe two or three...EVEN BETTER I will get super duper drunk and dance on tables at Molly's." Felicity rambled as Will examined her and laughed at her nickname for him.

"Okay, let me page Doctor Glass to discuss your date...Are you now dating women?" Will mocked her and she hit him with a bandage's wrap as he laughed.

"No! I have a date with super hot Peter! Who can cook pretty good!" Felicity said as she jumped off the hospital bed and dressed herself.

"I'M HERE! WHAT? IS TIA HURT? WAIT! TIA WASN'T AT SCHOOL TODAY!" A super worried and freaking out Vicky rushed into the hospital room...more like sprint into the room.

"Hey! OH! God! I saw the news! Are you okay?" Vicky asked worried as she hugged tight Felicity.

"I'm fine! How is Tia?" Felicity asked worried as she hugged Vicky back.

"She is fine. She had an allergic reaction to mushrooms yesterday so I kept her home. I chose a great day to allow my daughter to ditch school...am I a bad mum? Oh! And are we still on for today?" Vicky rambled smiling and Felicity laughed.

"Yes. I was about to ask the same thing. I have to get home and change so...meet you in two hours?" Felicity asked with a happy smile.

Vicky nodded and then she was paged and rushed out waving goodbye at her new friend.

Felicity walked out of the hospital wearing Will's hoodie since it was raining her clothes were bloody.

"Hey! Smoak! Wanna ride?" Connor and Robyn yelled from the other side of the parking lot.

"Yes! Because I just realized that I don't have my car. Fuck!" Felicity said as Robyn rushed to her with an umbrella and smiled as they walked to Connor's car.

At night:

Felicity smiled as she walked inside Molly's waving at friends and co-workers.

Who would have thought she, Felicity Megan Smoak, would have so many friends and family back when she was sixteen...if she could travel back in time and tell her past self to hold on...that she would find friends just like Samantha did she would have laughed at her own face.

"Hey! Here is the hero!" Herman yelled over the bar as he caused all the bar's attention turned to her and raised their drinks smiling proudly.

Felicity smiled and she nodded.

"Thank you, I'm sorry for not saving the boy." She said with guilt as she saw the mother of the boy standing alone in the back not holding her drink up.

"It's not your fault. I was a bad mother." She said sadly as tears dropped in her drink.

"No! You are not a bad mother! He just...he was just being a teenager. Teenagers tent to think they are alone. With no disrespect." Felicity said softly as she rubbed the grieving mother's back. The woman turned and hugged her breaking down.

After that the woman left the bar as Herman called her a cab, Felicity met up with Vicky and Tia.

"Hello, Tia! I'm Felicity!" She introduced herself to the teenager before her.

Tia smiled and hugged her.

"Thank you for protecting my school...sorry...our school! Nice to meet you! I'm so hungry! Ready to order?" Tia said grateful and excited.

"YAS!" Felicity said as Gabby arrived with the menus and smiled at the girls.

The girls ate their dinner and chatted about school experiences and fails and all that. She smiled as she walked back home.

She unlocked the door of her dark apartment only to see a shadow sitting opposite her window. Felicity grabbed the gun she had under the table where she usually let her keys and had a last look or touch up before she goes out. She aim it at the shadow, Hank had taken her to shooting rings after she was adopted by Wallace and once she was a great shot Samantha and her were taught how to fight by Henry Mills, Peter's father, who co-run a Gym in the neighborhood.

"Why you never told me or anyone in the team that you moved to Chicago? We were worried sick!" Oliver yelled at her betrayed and Felicity sighed letting the gun down.

"YOU DON'T KNOW THE HALF OF IT! And I barely know you! I couldn't tell you how I felt after the whole Slade thing because...well you weren't emotionally available! So I did what I thought to be appropriate...to be honest...it was not my choice since I was unconscious." Felicity rambled as she turned on the lights and stare at him dead cold in the eyes. Oliver's eyes shot wide open at the sound of unconscious and they way her eyes were emotionless. Then his gaze turned to the table where the gun lied there.

"Why you were unconscious?" Oliver asked her as she went to her room and took off her shirt allowing Oliver to see the two gunshot wounds and then scars...self harm's scars.

"It's a long story!" Felicity exclaimed uncomfortable as she took her anti-depression pills which made Oliver rise eyebrows.

"STOP STARING AT ME!" She yelled at him in anger.

"I CAN'T WHEN I SEE THAT YOU HAVE SCARS! WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE? TELL. ME. NOW!" Oliver yelled in anger.

"I did them to myself! When I was a teenager...and in college and while being in Starling City in order to remind myself not to trust anyone! And if you want to know why I was unconscious; well I sliced my wrists with a kitchen knife and allowed myself to bled to the brink of death! My friend Will and Kelly found me and then took me to the hospital! You know why I did this? I suffer from depression, twenty years now! So I thought I was not fit to continue helping you so I ditched the team and to be frank; my mental health has been fine ever since!" Felicity rambled in anger and sorrow.

"What?" Oliver asked bewailed and speechless.

So? What do you think? What do you think the story will go? Tell me in your comments! I hope i get to see a vote in this chapter...
