Chapter Text
8.43am “Frack! I can’t believe my alarm didnt go off! The one day I needed to be up early and the fracking thing didnt go off! I’ve got 20 mins before I leave”
Annoyed Felicity throws back the covers runs into her ensuite and showers within 5 minutes a feat in itself!
Throws on her Pink Summer dress and silver sandals, throws her hair back into it’s signature ponytail and puts on some mascara and her trademark pink lipstick (because She’s been blessed with flawless skin) and rushes down her hallway into her open plan kitchen grabs her coffee already in her favourite mug (IT Dept. Have you tried tuning it off and then on again) where she thanks the gods for timer coffee!
She looks at her watch and has a minute to spare until her taxi is due... phew! Made it! She takes a deep breath and she hears the beep of the taxi and Felicity grabs her luggage and heads to her front door.
Felicity leaves her house and locks up and walks out to the taxi super excited! She’s needed this holiday after her Very stressful year because you see this year she took a chance and left her very safe job at Tech Village to start up her own company ‘Smoak Tech’ it’s been tough but it’s nothing that felicity couldn’t handle because she’s a certified genius! She graduated from MIT at just 19! So at just 24 years old Felicity is the youngest CEO in Starling City, something that her crazy, vibrant mother is proud of and loves to rub her neighbours noses in it.
When she gets to the airport she checks in her bags and heads to the airport coffee shop to grab another coffee because no one can survive on just one cup of coffee until her flight A654 to Maui is called.
Felicity treated herself to first class as a well done to herself for all her hard work so once she’s settled in Her seat on the plane she enjoys a lovely glass of champagne! It’s no Lafite Rothschild but it alcohol and she hopes it will knock her out! She hates flying with a passion but she isn’t going to let it stop her from having a long overdue holiday with her friends! She honestly cannot wait to see Thea, Sara, Laurel, Tommy, Roy, Lyla and Diggle. She’s so excited to finally meet Sara’s girlfriend Nyssa! She’s heard so much about her and She hasn’t seen her any happier since she met Nyssa!
10.45am
“Ladies and Gentlemen, the captain has turned on the fasten seat belt sign.

Felicity took a deep breath and watched in amusement as one passenger was trying to shove in a suitcase in the overhead bin with it stood upright instead of laying it flat in the end a guy helped them out! A very hot guy that as she saw him she had to bite her lip especially when her turned his stunning blue eyes on her a winked! Felicity blushed and looked away thinking ‘I wouldn’t kick him out of bed’ and chuckled to herself.
Suddenly the rumble of the plane started up and the plane travelled alone the tarmac slowly building speed! Felicity grabbed hold of the arm rests and her knuckles turned white whilst the plane lifted off of the tarmac and up into the sky!
Halfway through the 6hour flight Felicity was relaxing with her tablet playing a game when suddenly there was a huge bump and the plane dropped down, a small eep escaped her mouth and she started panicking when the seat belt sign came on.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the fasten seat belt sign. We are now crossing a zone of turbulence. Please return your seats and keep your seat belts fastened. Thank you.”
Felicity went into full panic mode thinking the planes going to crash and the turbulence was getting stronger. With tears running down her face her thoughts were ‘well at least I’m wearing waterproof mascara’ when the plane took a huge bump and she threw her right hand behind her and grabbed onto her head rest! She was pretty sure her knuckles were white and positive that she’s going to break her nails shortly when a warm male hand with calluses held her hand whilst he stroked the back of her hand with his thumb and slowly she found it started to calm her down and once her breathing calmed down she realised that 1. The turbulence had stopped and 2. she was still holding the strangers hand. She let go immediately missing the warmth and also feeling embarrassed!
A shadow appeared beside her and she turned to look and saw that it was ‘Mr Blue Eyes’ Felicity was sure her mouth dropped open when he started talking to her.
“Hi, are you okay? I hope you didn’t mind me holding your hand but I was worried you were going to break your fingers because you were holding on the the head rest so hard, that and the fact that you were praying out loud that you didn’t want to die!” Felicity sat there in shock ‘this is The calloused hand stranger?!’ Felicity realised that she’d been staring at Mr Blue Eyes for a few minutes without saying something and he was looking concerned!
“Hi! Yes! Th-that was fine, you calmed me right down especially when you started stroking me” ‘oh god why does my brain do this to me!’ “I-i mean my hand because why would mr blue eyes be stroking me anywhere else” Felicity slammed her eyes shut, ‘oh dear god felicity shut up!’ She opened her eyes and looked up to see him smirking and his eyes twinkling ‘do eyes seriously twinkle because that gorgeous guy’s are’
Mr blue eyes turned to her and asked “is the seat next to you taken?” Confused Felicity just nodded and he sat down “I’m Oliver Queen by the way and you are miss?....” “Smoak. Felicity Smoak.”
