Twisted Angel

Chapter 7

Oliver bursts through the door and Roy, Dig and I handle the annoying lackeys. I pull Roy out of the way as he almost gets filled with bullets. "Helps if you're still alive, Red," I mutter.

We quickly handle them and Felicity happily reunites with her mother.

I collapse on the bed at the end of the day happily relaxing. Roy smiles as he heads into his room. I turn the tv on with a smile.

Roy shouts and I immediately jump up and sprint into the room. Roy's panting on the bed. His face filled with concern. "You ok?" I ask nervously.

"Fine. Just, bad dream," Roy sighs. I nod in understanding and grin.

"Want me to sing you a lullaby?" I ask jokingly. Roy chuckles weakly and I frown. I sit beside him and search his face in concern. "Hey, are you actually ok?" Roy puts on a fake smile and nods. "Alright," I carefully get up and head into the other room.

 Roy is definitely hiding something from me. He, Oliver, and Dig went to deal with a drug bust so I can't ask him about it. Felicity is quarterbacking from the Foundry and I am chilling in my usual chair, bored.

"They should be there. They arrived half an hour ago and never left," Felicity grumbles. I push my chair over to her and look at the screen.

"She's right. The... Which gang is it again? Whatever they should be there,"

"Found em. Although I don't think they'll tell us much,"

I stare at the guilty written in blood. "I like the way this guy thinks," I mutter. Oliver glares at me and I frown. "Although they are a little on the nose...I'll shut up now,"

"The Culebras are the bloodiest gang in Starling city," Felicity says.

"Who's the second bloodiest?" Oliver asks.

"They have a long standing rivalry with the Los Halcones," Felicity says.

"I thought you decided this was personal?" I ask.

"I'm sure the Los Halcones can narrow that down for us," Oliver says. Roy starts to follow him and Oliver stops him. "I've got this take the rest of the night off,"

'I can back you up,"

"Not dead on your feet you can't" I chime in. Roy glares at me and I shrug, blocking him beside Oliver.

"I'm sorry I know I've been a bit out of it recently,"

'Don't be sorry. Go to sleep," Oliver says. Roy sighs and stands by Felicity. "Kayla?"

"I'm good thanks though,"

"Dig?"

"I'm sure there's Los Halcones everywhere in Starling. Why don't I take the ones above 8th?" Dig grins. I get out of both of their ways and they quickly leave.

"Can I ask you a question?" Roy asks Felicity.

"Just did," Felicity grins. I elbow her and she looks at Roy's face.

"Do you know how to take a blood test?"

"I know just enough to make me dangerous. And me with a syringe well that makes me more dangerous," Felicity hops up and grabs a tablet. "Why do you ask? And if you say for STD that is seriously crossing a line," I chuckle slightly and prop my feet on a table.

"Mirakuru," Roy says. My feet drop and I frown. Felicity frowns.

"You were cured. She doesn't need to check for Mirakuru," I say, beating Felicity.

"I know... I just," Roy starts.

"Is this about your sleep issues?" I ask.

"It shouldn't affect your sleep issues, it makes people crazy and crazy strong but it doesn't make people not get 8 hours," Felicity adds with a frown.
