General Aftermath

Felicity partial lock for Oliver but otherwise OTA

[fastesthackeralive]

Felicity was tired. More than just tired, though, she was wrung out. The last few months have been emotionally and physically draining and she wasn't quite sure what to do about it.

She was married to Oliver Queen, which had been the best for the literal second that it lasted, because then instead of being on her staycation honeymoon she was in Los Angeles caught in some freaking time loop and it kinda sucked.

She was in STAR Labs most of the days, trying to figure out what the hell was going on, but at least everyone was safe and well. She was happy about that. She had been studiously avoiding Oliver since she managed to piece together that they weren't at the same time.

So, Felicity was a coward, sue her. Well, don't do that, bad idea. She knew she needed to talk to Oliver, however, so she made her way to his hospital bed.

"How can you make almost dying look good?" She asked pushing her hair behind her ear with her left hand. "It's not fair," She smiled, albeit slightly strained as she sat down.

[snowandfrost]

She had recognized Felicity being in STAR Labs and was grateful to see a member of Team Arrow there to help support them during this trying time.

Caitlin had stepped away for a minute to run over the latest updates with Harry and Cisco and to check in on the others, confirming that they were receiving treatment well. And perhaps leave Cisco and Mick with a few more ice packs. When she came back, she saw that Felicity had looked like she had been hesitating to talk to Oliver.

She came over and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, you can go talk to him. He should be fully cognizant now. I bet he'd like to see a familiar face."

[fastesthackeralive]

Felicity felt the hand on her shoulder, tensing slightly and then relaxing when she realized it was Cait.

"Hey. Yeah, I know. I've been watching him," She spoke to Cait but continued looking at Oliver. I've been avoiding him."

[snowandfrost]

They all had been on edge when all this started happening. But now, at least, anyone who was affected by the poisoning were on the mend. That was something that made Caitlin happy. When it was all over, then she could look into maybe taking a day or two away from STAR Labs, just to gain back some sanity.

Her focus was on her friend, brow furrowing.

"Why would you be avoiding him?"

[fastesthackeralive]

"Because I'm from 2 and half years in his future," Felicity said softly. She sighed softly. "This Oliver doesn't love me, the way that I love him. This Oliver isn't the Oliver that I..." She stopped. "It doesn't matter. This Oliver has a chance for a life without Damien Dahrk, newly found sons, Adrien Chase, and exploding islands."

Felicity turned to face her friend, giving her a small smile.

"I just have to figure out how to let him go."

[snowandfrost]

She didn't think about that. That this Oliver had been from the past. They really didn't have an opportunity to chat about when they each were from. The time they had spent together had been about...everything else. Caitlin looked over at Oliver, then back at Felicity. She gives her another reassuring squeeze, despite all of the information she just gave.

"No one ever said that you need to let him go. Maybe you just get a second chance at falling in love with each other again. Without...all that."

She let go, feeling that coldness rise up inside of her, and looked back down at her tablet, seeing that she had other patients to check in on.

"I need to go see how the others are reacting to the treatments we're providing. But you should go visit him. He might be happy to see you."

[havingprecision]

A small smile as Felicity approaches. "You make it sound like I make a habit of things like this."

Okay so he kind of does, but it's all about downplaying the danger. "I'm glad you're here." Well. All things considered anyway.

[notthatblonde]

Felicity laughs just a little, because oh he so so does. "If I had a nickle for everytime you said that I would be a rich, rich, woman.... well Richer," She grins at him. There is clear love and affection in her eyes, but there is also pain as well.

"I'm always going to be here, you know that or you did anyway," Felicity said softly. "Things are..... complicated, right?"

[havingprecision]

A weary chuckle. However, Oliver can't quite place her reaction or the way she's looking at him. Or more to the point why given how things had ended with them before he woke up in Los Angeles.

"I think it's a safe bet to say that our lives will forever be complicated."

[notthatblonde]

"Tell me about it," She muttered. She didn't look entirely too happy about that. She leans forward just a bit taking his larger hand in her smaller one. It was kind of funny when you think about it, this simple touch used to ground both of them, but it felt different here.

"I love you," Felicity said looking at him with a small smile. "What's the last thing you remember before here?"

After she talks to Ollie? You choose!

[chosenbylightning]

Barry is exhausted. Completely and utterly exhausted. He's sprawled on one of the couches, drinking all the water he can and downing a handful of speedster grade bars to make up for the energy taken to create the dark matter.

But a flash of blonde hair and familiar voice has him on his feet. "Felicity?"

YES!

[notthatblonde]

Felicity had just come from visiting Oliver and she was trying really, really hard not to totally lose it. She had watched Barry for awhile, so she knew how tired he must be. But she needed a hug.

She looked over at him as the first tear fell and just moved to give him a hug. She stood there for a time just hugging Barry before speaking.

"Hey," was muttered into his chest.

[chosenbylightning]

Yeah, he's exhausted right down to his bones but Felicity clearly needs a friend right now. He wraps his arms around her, letting her hold on for as long as she needs. "Yeah. I know. He's from a few years before us." Oliver doesn't remember falling in love with Felicity. He doesn't remember marrying her.

"I'm sorry."

[fastesthackeralive]

"Three years, Barry," She interrupted softly. She pulled back, looking at Barry for a long time. "Come sit back down before you fall down," Felicity directed. "You ate right?" She asked, all but trying to tug him onto the couch.

"The last thing he remembers is Sara dying. And pushing me away. He doesn't know anything. Thea, Malcolm, Ra's, the Nazi's, Dahrk." She looked at him clearly frustrated and sad. "There is just so much he doesn't know and most of me wants to just go in there and tell him everything but is that fair?"

Felicity stands up and starts pacing. "I mean how do you tell a man that is pushing you out of his life on purpose, that in 2 and a half years everything you know is turned on its ear. "Hey Oliver, you know how you have a hero complex, yeah well that gets you stabbed and turned into Ras a Ghul, but not before we have sex, and I steal my boyfriend's atom suit and save you. We run away get engaged, I get shot and can't walk, oh and you lie to me so we break up and still have sex..... Stop me please...."

Felicity falls back onto the couch in a heap. She looks over at him. "Sorry, this isn't all about me. How are you doing?"

locked to Savitar

[froststorm]

Crys makes her way through the medical wing.

During the chaos, she had been sneaking snacks to Gizmo and keeping an eye out for the little purple thing. It was cute how it stuck to that kid she had seen literally running around and park by a version of B that just...she just had to shake her head at him. But when the kid and other speedsters rushed out to execute some plan, Crys fell into the throng of other medical professionals and interns, getting supplies here and there.

Now, however, things seemed to settle. The cures had been distributed and Crys could breathe a sigh of relief. When no one was looking, she sneaks her way over to where she knows the speedsters are healing up. He certainly isn't the B she was used to but he's definitely someone that reached out to her when she first arrived, at least.

"I would've brought a teddy bear but it might be too happy for you."

Re: locked to Savitar

[vivifier]

He has his eyes closed as he waits for the latest saline drip to empty out, several empty power bar wrappers on the swing arm table beside the bed he's on. He's not asleep, really. At all. It's just that he figured if people thought he was, maybe they'd leave him alone for a while.

The past few days have been a lot. Like, a whole lot. People, things, feelings, everything.

No such luck, apparently. "A teddy bear?"

[froststorm]

No luck. Not from his new friend. Crys looks at the empty power bar wrappers and nudges them into the trash. He had looked asleep but she had a feeling that he wasn't quite there.

"Hospital volunteer when I was in high school. A few friends and I would get money together to buy kids little teddy bears whenever they've been through an ordeal," she explains, taking a seat next to the bed. "Heard you were out there making a difference."

[vivifier]

He was probably closer to sleep earlier, when they first got back from their run, than he is now.

"Guess you should send one to Mick Rory then, huh." Mick Rory and a teddy bear? How could she resist? "All I did was run."

[froststorm]

"Not from what I heard. You were part of the team that managed to make everyone better again. Kind of need to deal with being a hero for today," she replies.

Crys doesn't know why she's visiting him. But she supposes that he, the kid, and the other B were her friends for now. Maybe Sam. Either way, she, like a few others, is trying to deal with things being mixed up the best way she can.

"You're kind of the talk of the medical labs. All of you."

Savitar - OTA

[vivifier]

They finished their run, created that dark matter wave and somehow managed to stumble their way back into Star Labs. Someone, and he has no idea who, ended up depositing Savitar in a spare gurney with a swing table full of power bars in front of him along with a couple of tubes of glucogel. He's on his fifth or maybe tenth saline IV. Exhausted is probably not the right word, but is there a stronger one?

He doubts it.

At various points, he's either actually sleeping or pretending to sleep. One can probably tell the difference.

Backdated to before his post with Mick

[goodviberations]

It's a couple hours after the speedsters return to the lab that Savitar gets a visitor. Cisco had spend most of the last few hours by Mick's bedside, but the man had yet to wake up, and he couldn't stand to just sit there and wait. So he decides to check in with Savitar in the meantime.

"Pretending to sleep won't keep Caitlin from taking your vitals," he points out with a small smile.

Re: Backdated to before his post with Mick

[vivifier]

He opened his eyes, looking over at Cisco. He can imagine how worried he is over Mick, but somehow manages to keep any comments to himself about it. "No. But it keeps people from trying to tell me what they are."

[goodviberations]

A snort as he sits beside the bed.

"Fair enough," he allows. "I just wanted to thank you."

[vivifier]

He opens his eyes, looking at Cisco. "You did?"
