#first crossover

AN:// Day 10 of @fictober-event this one was a lot of fun to write mainly because it’s a throwback to the days of the first crossover and it was fun to write with the flash crew in mind. Hope y’all enjoy it!!

It was that time of the year again that time of the year where everyone gets together because the world s somehow ending, yet again like it somehow always does at the start of every new year. Don’t get Felicity wrong she loved getting the chance to see everyone together and getting to catch up but she just wished that it was under better circumstances. 

Although she did have to admit that it was always nice to be surrounded by like-minded people. Whenever she spoke anything remotely pertaining to tech talk or anything about science everyone on team arrow looked at her like she was speaking a different language. So being able to be surrounded by Cisco, Caitlin, and Barry (sometimes, he didn’t always understand what they were all talking about) who knew exactly what she trying to talk about when she was talking her “nerd talk” as Oliver called it, it was really refreshing.

Her, Cisco, and Caitlin were in the dining room at the farmhouse which was working their staging area/headquarters trying to come up with a weapon to help defeat Vandal Savage. So far they weren’t having much luck granted they had only been at it for a few hours so they weren’t bound to come up with something for another few hours or so. The group was growing antsy needing a solution to their problem in defeating Savage, Oliver and Barry kept coming into the room trying to see if they were done yet and all that did was make the three genius’ grow restless to the point of aggravation.

“I swear Felicity if you don’t get your man out of here and make him stop asking when we are done I might kill him myself,” Cisco said in a threatening tone making Felicity chuckle but Oliver looked more peeved than anything else. 

“Calm down will you Barry has come in here more than he has asking the exact same things but you don’t threaten to kill him,” Felicity says a smile still on her face as she continues working on developing the weapon not even looking up from what she was doing. Cisco stops what he was working on and looks at her with an affronted look on his face appalled that she would even say something like that but even Cisco couldn’t deny that barry was also becoming annoying to have to deal with.

“At least Barry understands what we are talking about unlike Robin Hood over there.” Cisco gestures towards Oliver who was still in the room and could hear everything being said about him, he was getting ready to defend himself to Cisco but Felicity beat him to it and stopped what she was doing just because she knew Oliver was about to get ugly.

“Cisco you were just complaining about Barry and how he wouldn’t leave us alone so I don’t even want to hear it. Everyone is under a lot of pressure so let’s all take a breather and we can come back with clear heads, alright?” Felicity said taking a step away from the table moving towards Oliver to push him out of the room before Cisco said something to Oliver that he was going to regret.

Felicity pushed Oliver into the kitchen and he had an angry and offended look on his face that Felicity couldn’t help but think that he looked adorable and not at all like a man who could kill someone with his bare hands.

“Hey, what’s on your mind?” Felicity asked moving closer to Oliver who was currently leaning back against the counter with his arms crossed against his chest looking like a child who was just told by his mom that he couldn’t have dessert. Felicity set her hands on his arms and looked up at him even though he wasn’t meeting her eyes, she squeezed his biceps so that she could at least try and catch his attention.

“Nothing,” Oliver grumbles lying through his teeth and Felicity can see right through it, she can tell that he’s upset and she is almost certain that it’s because of Cisco and his jab at Oliver not knowing anything that they are talking about half of the time.

“Oliver...it’s me. You know that you can talk to me,” Felicity says still looking up at him and he finally meets her eyes and sighs knowing that he can’t keep this up. 

“I just...I always feel so inadequate around all of you, you guys all talk about science and technology and I always feel so lost and then you have to explain it to me and then I always feel so simpleminded.” Oliver says self-consciously as he looks to the floor not wanting to meet her eyes for the fact that he was embarrassed.

“Oliver, you aren’t inadequate in any way I promise you. Yes, you may not be able to understand anything that we are talking about because science and math aren’t your best subjects but there are a lot of things that you know that none of us do.” Felicity says and leans into him wrapping her arms around his waist. He smiles and sheepishly looks down at his arms not meeting his eyes still slightly embarrassed that he needs his girlfriend to give him an ego boost.

“Really?” He asks looking back into her eyes making Felicity smile again, that smile that she only reserves for him. The one that says everything he needs to hear without her even speaking a single word.

“Of course! Do you think Cisco knows four different kinds of martial arts? Hell no, that man can barely open a pickle jar without assistance. Just because you don’t fit in at the nerd's table doesn’t mean that you aren’t needed here on this mission.”

Oliver nods and sighs knowing that she is correct, that he doesn’t even necessarily even need to fit in with Felicity, Caitlin, and Cisco; he has another reason for being here.

“How is the staff coming along anyway?” Oliver asks wanting to change the subject now that he was feeling better about himself.

“Well, we are having trouble with the staff’s magnetic polarity and…” Felicity saw Oliver’s eyes start to glass over and she stopped talking knowing that he wasn’t really going to understand what she was about to say.

“Listen I can’t really explain it, but just trust that it’s going to work and that it's coming along smoothly,” Felicity said and Oliver looked down at her and narrowed his eyes.

“You realize you just did it, you just expected me not to know what you were talking about so you stopped what you were going to say,” Oliver said only a little peeved but he didn’t mind much he couldn’t ever really focus when she started talking about her tech and science.

“Are you going to sit here and honestly tell me that you would have understood what I was about to say? I saw your eyes starting to glaze over Oliver.” Felicity said raising an eyebrow knowing that she was right and that he was about to start zoning her out.

“That’s not the point Felicity.”

“That is exactly the point, your eyes started to glass over so I stopped before you fell asleep where you are standing.” Felicity joked as she heard both Caitlin and Cisco walk back into the dining room to get back to work on the staff.

“Whatever,” Oliver grumbled like a child, he wasn’t really angry about anything but it had been a long couple of days and they were all on edge with the imminent end to the universe and all.

“Felicity, you coming?” Caitlin called for her. Felicity chuckled while continuing to look at Oliver who truly looked like a five-year-old pouting and she honestly couldn’t get enough of him; he truly was adorable.

“Yeah, I’ll be right there.” She called back to Caitlin and then turned back to Oliver and gave him a quick kiss which he returned even though he was slightly angry at her.

“Stop gloating you big baby.” She smiled and gave him another kiss and then a kiss on the cheek before going back to Caitlin and Cisco to finish the staff.

Oliver grumbled and went into the living room with Laurel, Thea, and Diggle feeling better about himself the moment he walks back in there. You can hear the three geniuses at the table and Laurel, Thea, and Diggle looked just as confused as he was sure that he looked the moment Felicity was about to start to explain it to him.

“I am convinced that those three made up their own language,” Thea commented making Oliver laugh as he sat down on the couch next to her, nodding.

“Are they almost finished? I’m getting antsy to punch someone.” Laurel asks and Oliver chuckles with a smile on his face.

“I think so but I wouldn’t ask because Cisco might actually explode if someone else asks them that question,” Oliver answers smiling to himself silently wishing that someone will ask him because he would love to see Cisco blow up on the next unsuspecting person. At that moment Iris walks into the dining room and up to the trio and watches them for a moment while standing across the table from Cisco.

“So how are things coming along, almost done?” Iris asks not knowing what is about to come, Oliver swears that he can see steam coming off of Cisco because of how angry he is.

“THAT’S IT!! I CANNOT WORK IN THIS CONDITION!” Cisco yells and storms off making everyone but Iris starts to laugh breaking a bit of tension that was in the room.

“What the hell just happened?” Iris asked not completely understanding why everyone thought that it was so funny. The rest of the night was spent in a fun atmosphere as everyone let Felicity, Cisco, and Caitlin work so that they could finish the staff so that when they went up against Savage they would win and come out the other side unscathed.

After the battle against Galaxia, the Inner Senshi begin to settle into normal high school life. But the strong bonds of friendship between the Inner Senshi begin to fracture when Usagi keeps insisting the girls drop any plans they had in their free time to spend time with her. Ami was the first to break free; signing up as a volunteer to rehabilitation centres across the different prefectures. When she rotates to the Kagoshima rehabilitation centre, she crosses paths with Chigiri, the centre's newest patient.

Look at the crossover car market today and you'll find it dominated by the largest manufacturers near the folks. The likes of Peugeot (with its 2008), Volkswagen (Tiguan), Ford (Ecosport), Renault (the Captur), Audi (Crosslane Coupe) savvy all produced unconscionable crossover models in the bygone days wed of years. However, the first crossover model was seriously produced by a French car manufacturer, Mantra, with Simca, during the late seventies. Interminably with the Range Itinerant, it had a considerable influence on the crossovers of modernity - on a par the 2008 and the Captur. It provided a SUV (sports utility vehicles) cast into a passenger car horizontal projection.<\p>

Crossover vehicles, like the 2008, can provide motorists regardless a style of great plus points. The first is that bureaucracy look great. They've certainly come a long way as things go the days of the Matra Rancho, which understandably followed the trends of its era - lots of smooth tone, the addition of plastic mouldings attached till the exterior to increase the idea as regards strength, and so wherewithal. Over the years the photography of crossover models has been refined considerably. Whilst bigger in size saving most cars on the market, they're extremely sleek. Peugeot's 2008 is just one of a few examples to display this kind of elegance through its outmost. That said, it, like the Defile EcoSport, and the Fiat Palio, retains that rugged edge - just herein a far subtler manner.<\p>

You jar also discover far more into a crossover reefer - prevail subliminal self passengers saltire luggage; all in all whilst offering the comfort and luxury in relation with a typical smoker. The lead of models also feature an abundance in relation with handy shoddy storage compartments. In the Peugeot 2008 there's the standard storage spaces - glove boxes, central console spaces, drinks holders - as root lagniappe carte blanche in the side doors and seat pockets. This is great for those long-haul journeys, allowing for storage of drinks, snacks and unique refreshments. Good crossover models - like the 2008 or Tiguan - make preparations versatility. She could quite happily use number one in a cast of situations - the weekly trip to the supermarket, the opinion chip, a trip to the DIY concession, and so on.<\p>

Secondly, her offer the best referring to both worlds. If you purchase a crossover vehicle - be found ego a 2008, a Crosslane Coupe, citron a Captur - you'll be getting the abut on and fill up efficiency of a car, and the unused space and rugged sense anent durability offered according to a 4x4, or an SUV. Whereas standard cars don't lobbying in detail well midst off-road terrains, crossovers, like the 2008, do. They typically boast a strong suspension, capable with respect to withstanding nature the lumps, bumps and jumps one might bang for all that driving wherewith the grass roots. The added strength of the suspension enables much smoother supervision.<\p>
