A/N: So I'm kinda back, with this! can you all even remember what was going on? i can hardy do that :P
"So what's up with your boss? He seemed like a nice guy, though something was off about him, and the bodyguard dude. And I have a feeling that you are in on the weirdness." Damon said.
"Why would you think that?" she asked, feigning innocence, although she wasn't doing a very good job at it. Especially given that it was Damon she was talking to.
He was about to respond when he got a call, "Hold that thought," he said before fishing his phone out of his jeans pocket. "Ahhh … Little brother is here it seems … Hello Stefan" he greeted on the phone.
"So I am here, where should I meet you guys?" Stefan asked.
"Well … I think Fee would be better equipped to answer that." Damon gave the phone to Felicity and she told Stefan the address of a small bistro.
"We are nearby, we'll be there in 5 minutes … okay … ya, we'll wait for you there" and with that she hung up the phone.
"He'll meet us there in 10" she said, giving the phone back to Damon and then drove towards the bistro she had mentioned to Stefan.
"So? You are not telling me?" Damon asked after a few minutes.
"What?" she asked distractedly.
"You know what Fee, what is going on there?" Damon asked again, making Felicity sigh.
"I'm sorry Damon, it's not my secret to tell. Though I am pretty sure you will figure it out if you pay attention. But like I said, not mine to tell, so I can't."
"Okay! I get it. Serious stuff, then. No problem! And since you said I can figure it out, I will."
Soon Stefan was pulling up beside them in his car and the two of them stepped out of hers to greet him.
"Stef!" she sprinted towards him and was soon engulfed in his arms.
"Hey City!" he smiled as he let her go. "You have no idea how good it is to see you again. Damon has been especially cranky without you." He said, making her laugh.
"Okay little brother … lets not start with this again."
Felicity smiled at the two brothers. It was good to see them happy and carefree with each other. Both of them loved the other, she knew that, but they had always been so closed off towards one another and Felicity hated it.
No one knew this and she was pretty sure neither of them figured it out either, but it was her who sent Stefan on his way to Mystic Falls 3 years ago. She already knew of Damon's plans and she wanted Stefan there with his brother, for his brother.
And then she stopped contacts with everybody and she couldn't keep tracks on them. Though she was glad her plan was somewhat successful … At least they were talking again, instead of trying to kill each other. Though she was fairly certain, that the start of it definitely consisted of some broken necks and some wooden logs jammed into each other.
"So we are going to get those tattoos or not?" Damon asked after the greetings were over and Felicity rolled her eyes.
"Tattoos? What tattoos?" Stefan asked and Felicity shook her head.
"Your big brother wants us to get tattoos and I am in a FTW mood, so I am going along with the plan, and now that you are here, so are you." She said and Stefan's shook his head vehemently.
"Nope! No way … I'm not getting any tattoos." He said the other two chuckled.
"Its funny how you think you have a choice, and that we are actually asking you. Now let's go buddy," Felicity said, tugging at his hands.
"And give me your car keys, I haven't ridden this baby in a very long time." She said Stefan who rolled his eyes before handing her the keys while she gave hers to Damon.
"Just park my car back in the QC parking, I'll follow you so the guard will not create a problem and then we can finally start on the fun stuff."
"Now that's my girl" Damon grinned and got in her car while Felicity and Stefan took Stefan's.
Stefan and her made small talks on the way to QC but neither touched on anything important.
They reached the QC parking and got out of the car to where the security guard was sitting.
"Hey Dwayne!" she greeted the man who smiled back at her.
"Miss Smoak, I though you said you were taking the day off." He asked and she nodded.
"I am. But I wanted to park my car here since we already have one," she mentioning to the red Camaro.
"Oh wow. That's one fine piece of metal." He whistled and she laughed.
"I would be sure to let my friend know that you like it." She smiled. "Anyways, my friend," she mentioned towards Damon who was sitting behind the wheels of her car, "he will go and park it in my spot"
"Miss Smoak I know … I mean" he stuttered not sure how to say no to the boss's apparent girlfriend or whatever he thought she was to Oliver and Felicity felt bad for the poor man.
"Actually you know what, I will go with my friend here, that would be better. He might get confused on where to park." Felicity said and Dwayne looked like he could breathe again.
"Yes … of course. Sure Miss Smoak, go ahead." He said and Felicity gave him a small smile before turning back and climbing on the passenger seat of her car.
"Drive, I will go with you. Company protocol, poor man did not know how to say no to me and let you go in alone" she said making Damon laugh.
Both went in and Damon parked her car at her designated space before both of them stepped out of the car.
Suddenly Felicity felt like she was in the air and she was. Damon had picked her up bridal style and running back towards the entrance, all while both friends laughing.
Stefan looked from his seat on the Camaro and smiled at how carefree his brother looked after such a long time as he glided along the way with his best friend in his arms.
The last three years both brothers had tried to contact her, sometimes together, sometimes on their own but neither succeeded. After all she was a genius, you couldn't find her if she didn't want you to.
Both Stefan and Damon had talked about her with each other, some days when they had had a shitty day and Stefan could see how much Damon missed her or some other days when Damon was ecstatic and wanted to share his news with Felicity.
Seeing them like this, seeing Damon like this, he felt like his brother was at least one step forward towards his 'better' self as he and Lexi liked to call it. He missed Lexi, especially after seeing Felicity and Damon together again.
Damon reached Stefan's car and finally set Felicity down on her feet who was making faces at him but they all knew that she wasn't really mad at him.
"Okay then, if you two are done being children, lets get on with the day." Stefan said, breaking the silence,
"Hey" both exclaimed, making Stefan laughed.
"Okay okay" he held his hand up in surrender. "But really guys, lets go!"
Felicity quickly got inside the car and when Damon turned, he saw Stefan was already sitting shotgun.
"Okay little brother, move. I am sitting there." He said, making the other two roll their eyes.
"Shut up and sit in the back Damon or I will leave you here" Felicity said. Damon was about to argue but she just raised her eyes at him and he quickly walked around and got in the back seat.
"Next round, I am calling shotgun" he said as soon as Felicity started the car and the other two laughed.
"Whatever you say, lover" Felicity said, throwing a wink at Stefan, who smirked.
Unknown to them, a certain vigilante and his bodyguard saw this whole exchange from upstairs in his office. From the time the three people came to the parking garage until they left again.
"There is something off about the Damon guy, and who is this other guy with them now?" Oliver asked and Digg nodded.
"Felicity did say more of her friends and family were coming. But I agree with you, this Damon guy, something is definitely off about him."
"We should do something" Oliver said, already standing up from his chair.
"No Oliver. I know this is new. But we know nothing about her family, hell I spent a lot more time with her than you and she didn't tell me anything about them and now suddenly they are all here. But they are her family and we should respect their privacy." Dig said, always being the voice of reason.
"But Digg we cant just sit back and do nothing. What if something goes wrong? You saw how he talked to Isabel, I have never seen her so frightened. And this is Isabel we are talking about" Oliver said, not convinced.
"I know what you mean. But lets give them the day. She wanted a day off, and she should have it. And I am pretty sure Felicity is safe with them. If I'm sure about anything, its that he will do anything to keep her safe." Dig said and Oliver had to agree, albeit reluctantly.
"But still … I will run some background checks on this Damon guy. What is his full name again?" dig asked who shook his head.
"I have no idea, she didn't say. She only introduced him as Damon, no last names." Oliver said and Digg nodded his head.
"She didn't tell me either." Digg said and Oliver looked at him.
"Do you think …" Oliver paused before getting the words out of his mouth, "Do you think Felicity is trying to hide something from us?" he said at last and Digg looked grim.
"I don't know Oliver, but you are right, we should check it out. I will go back to the foundry and run some basic checks on him. See if I find anything" Digg said, already moving towards the door.
"Okay! Let me know if you get something" Oliver said and Digg nodded before moving out and towards the elevator.
There was not much work that he had today but he had to go through the files Felicity had bought with her in the morning and sign them.
So he quickly went through them and called Edward, the head of Applied Sciences, to ask about the changes Felicity had suggested.
Edwards readily approved all the changes and said he would get back with a fresh copy to Oliver before lunch and left.
With no Felicity or Diggle there to keep him company, Oliver did some more office work. Lunch rolled by and before he knew it, Edward was back with a fresh copy of the documents.
Oliver read through the documents before signing and sent them back to Edwards through Katia and then told her that he was leaving for the day and that she could leave in an hour or so if there was nothing for her to do.
He made a stop at Big Belly Burger and picked up lunch for both him and Digg before going to the foundry where Digg was running searches on Damon, Felicity's apparent best friend.
"So, did you find anything?" Oliver asked as he came down the stairs, the package from BBB in his hands.
"There is nothing" is the first thing Digg tells him.
"What do you mean nothing?" Oliver asked confused. "How can there be nothing on a person?"
"I don't know. I found out his name is Damon Salvatore and the other guy who came with them later is apparently his younger brother, Stefan Salvatore. But there are no records about either of them. At least there wasn't until 3 years ago."
"Digg … this does not make sense." Oliver said as he came to see for himself on the screen.
"Don't you think I know that? I have been here for the last 3 hours and I couldn't find anything on the guy or his brother."
"Okay … You said he has a record since last 3 years, what about them?"
"Not much to go with, says they live in Mystic Falls, Virginia, it's a small town. Stefan is supposedly 20, although he looks much older. Damon is his guardian, he is 25. They have a family business, some pharmaceutical stuff, no idea what half the stuff here means.
"But that is not what's bothering me, I pulled up their family history and there I found something even more bizarre. There were two brothers who were killed in 1864, in a fire supposedly. They were Salvatores as well, but that's not what is weird, the weird thing is, even they were named Damon and Stefan Salvatore. I am right now running searches on them. I should get something as soon as the search gets competed.
The computer pinged with new information and both Diggle and Oliver gasped. Because on their screen was a photo, a century old photo of Damon and Stefan Salvatore and they looked exactly like the guys they saw today morning.
"How is this even possible?" Diggle said, shocked. Oliver wasn't in any better shape either. "I mean, having similar features is one thing, but this is like a carbon copy, of both of them. This is not possible."
Coz if they were to go by what they found out from their searches, Damon and Stefan Salvatore, for all intents and purposes, have been dead for more than a century.
