Felicity Smoak

The room stopped except for a streak of red and yellow light as it ran through to deliver Laurel to a bed next to Caitlin’s in the area that had served as a hospital to each of them in star labs. “Hey ya, roomie,” Frost said sarcastically, “Caity cant come out to play because baby boy broke a rib on the way out and she cant take the pain.” At least not today. Had the blonde not come out at the last second both of them would have died and who knows what would have happened to their son.

“What brings you here?” She asked as Barry placed the baby in a crib next to her bed and quickly found his way out, “Did you finally loose some marbles? I told Caity you would eventually, if she told you about the little one even though I didn’t do anything wrong at the time. We were both single and it was a one time thing that had to happen. Just…think of me as your relationship fluffer…”

Oliver could hear Laurel while she spoke with the others, but he was too busy wearing a hole in the floor to really decipher what she was saying to them.  Caitlin had died in his arms nearly five minutes ago and he was certain that her mother had saved her and the baby, he couldn’t help but to worry about what was going on inside that room.  “ I’m so glad you’re here, ” Iris said, standing up from her seat on the floor so that she could give Laurel a hug.  “ I am going to check on Ralph.  Poor guy was tore to pieces when I got here and Oliver needs you more than he needs me right now. ” 

Iris wasn’t wrong.  Oliver perked up a bit once he realized that Laurel was in the room.  He’d forgotten about the blood that was still on his clothes while he moved to hug her, so he was glad when Iris cleared her throat to catch his attention before he got her bloody too.  “ Birdie...Cait was gone.  One minute she was o.k. and then she was just...gone.  I don’t have feelings for her or anything, but I do want her to be okay and it feels like it’s been forever since we’ve had an update... ” He wouldn’t be happy about the gender until he knew that Cait and their son were both alright.  The thought of Caitlin being gone worried him so much that he turned to pace the floor again.  The sound of a baby crying softly in front of him caught his attention and when he looked up he realized that Carla was standing two steps from him with his son in her arms. “ Thank god, ” He mumbled and moved closer to see the baby.  “ How’s Caitlin? ”

“ Without any help from you, my daughter is alive.  She’s barely stable, but she wants Laurel to see Thomas first.  I assume it’s because she’s the only one around here with any common sense at all, but Caitlin did say that you’d know why when you saw him. ”  

Carla moved to protectively shield the baby’s face and hair so that Oliver couldn’t see him.  If it were up to her, Caitlin and little Thomas would move back home and she could help raise them...but for some reason Caitlin wanted to stay in a city where all the weirdos live.  “ Watch his head, ” Carla stated as she held the baby out to Laurel.  “ She’s worried that the caveman over there will change his mind about wanting to raise the baby.  He’s beautiful...but he’s definitely special. ”

If Laurel were to pull back the blanket to see the baby she would see an angelic face that was shaped like Oliver’s and eyes that were two different colors.  One was blue like Frost’s, the other was brown like Cait’s and the head full of hair constantly switched between platinum blonde and chocolaty brown.  He was a heavy baby, but perfectly healthy and that was all that Caitlin had ever hoped for.

" Cait's in labor, but there are problems, " Barry told them softly. " Cait’s mom kicked him out of the room because he was in the way, but he’s not handling it well. ”  Barry took a seat at Cisco’s old workstation in the cortex at S.T.A.R. Labs and sighed as he looked at the group picture that was set as the screen saver on the deceased engineer’s old computer.  Cisco had insisted on the photo of him, Caitlin and Dr. Wells, but it bothered him to know that his friend could have been saved in a matter of seconds if he hadn’t been on the other earth. “ Poor Cait, ” Felicity said quietly and motioned for Sophie to come hug her.  She was surprised that Oliver had allowed the little girl to be in the same room with the speedster who had helped raised her, but she guessed that the circumstances Oliver wasn’t in the right frame of mind to care who was watching her.  

Felicity had been having a good day so far. There had been no episodes of madness, so she and laurel had gone shopping for clothes (mostly Sophie) and things for the baby that she was still carrying. Her anxieties were elevated when they returned home, because Oliver had shockingly allowed Sophie to stay with Barry for a few hours...but still not enough to trigger flashbacks or the madness that threatened to surface.

"I-I know Oliver was trying to help when he called Caitlin...but I've been broken for so long. I don't think anyone can fix me."

Looking down at her belly after taking a sip of her tea, Felicity sighed and rested a hand in the spot where the baby had moved. " You know. After the whole thing with Nora, you would have thought that Barry would be happy about this little one...but...he wasnt. I know its because I'm not Iris, so maybe it's for the best that he went back to her. "

The idea of him leaving her still hurt, but she wanted him to be happy, even if that meant that meant that he wasn't with her.

My name is Felicity Smoak.  On an innocent night much like the one you are experiencing now, I attempted to help my friends at S.T.A.R. Labs recreate a particle accelerator malfunction as an attempt to reverse the affects that the original malfunction had created a few years ago.  Somewhere along the line we made a mistake and instead of reversing the teams mistakes we created a whole lot of new ones.  One big flash of light lead to my being in a coma and when I woke up I discovered that I had powers.  They were powers of incredible speeds much like the flash and while I was very clumsy at using them they improved my hacking abilities ten fold.  The public didn’t know that part about me though --- all they could tell was that I was a girl in a pink suit that ran like The Flash.  

Fortunately for them there’s another speedster hero in town because Girl Flash probably won’t be a thing for very long.

{ text: laurel } Sophie is adjusting fairly well, but I haven't seen anyone from team flash except Caitlin. She's been coming to get Sophie so she can see Barry and everyone else while I'm at work.

Oliver Felicity couldn't help but to be jealous  of Oliver's reaction to Frost "dumping" him.  It didn't seem like so long ago when they had been together and in love and the fact that they had child together should mean *something*  to him...but clearly it didn't.  " I've been here and been tortured every day for longer than I care to remember, Oliver.   I didn't really have the presence of mind to think of names for her and it kind of seems pointless now, seeing as we're both destined to die tomorrow. "

“ I understood for the first ten minutes... ”

The blonde understood the late hours that Oliver kept while he was playing the live version of heroes and villains.  She understood that he had several kids by several different mothers --- but when it was the only thing she talked about all morning long...well...Felicity forgot about her ability to be so understanding.  “ I know that my situation with Barry wasn’t real...but I really miss being married. ”

“ Does she even realize that she’s complaining about being married to Oliver to the only person in the room who isn’t married to him? ” Felicity took a sip of her coffee as the brunette went upstairs to check on the laundry while the children were sleeping upstairs.  “ I mean, I was going to marry him before I got put in witness protection with Barry --- but she has spent half the morning bitching and I just...I wish she wouldn’t. ”

Oliver

The sounds of a babies cry echoed loudly in the dungeons.  A few prisoners complained about the noise, but the child’s mother didn’t seem to mind as the guard handed her over.  “ If it’s true that Oliver Queen is going to be king...then he’ll want to know that his daughter is in the castle.  Tell him that Frost took Felicity Smoak before she could tell him, because she was punishing my father for not holding up on his end of the bargain.  He probably doesn’t care if I exist anymore...but if you tell him... ”

A gasp escaped the blondes mouth as the guard struck her.  “ Only one woman can tell me what to do and that ain’t you. ”  None the less the guard went to Oliver’s chambers.  He didn’t trust his queen’s choice for a husband, but he was interested to see how this scene played out.  “ My lord, ” he bowed as he entered the room.  “ There’s a whore in the dungeon who claims that her newborn is yours.  We assumed that Frost was torturing the fat one again.  Never knew that a prisoner was with child. ”
