AN: This is the Sequel to 'Abducted'. I strongly suggest reading that first if you have not done so already. I have included the last few paragraphs of the last chapter for context.

MicRiddy, thank you for your assistance on this one!

Chapter 1: The Mission

The Team moved to Felicity and her computers as one and seemed to know that a mission was imminent. Everyone else was surprised at what Felicity had been able to find and were curious to see what the Team was going to do with the information.

Oliver looked up and made eye contact with each member of his Team, asking each one if they were ready to get back into the fight after their few days off. They all responded with a simple look that yes, they were ready to get back to work. Oliver gave a small shake of his head.

"Would you guys like to see Team Arrow in action?" Oliver asked turning to the non Team members, knowing what the answer was going to be. As everyone responded with a yes he turned to grab his bow from the case before turning to his Team.

"Okay Team Arrow, suit up!"


Oliver and Sara moved quickly to change into their leather suits while Roy grabbed his mask, bow and quiver. Diggle moved to his weapons case and gathered the ammo that he would need before going over to grab the earpieces that he and Roy would use for all their communication while they were in the field from Felicity.

In a matter of only a couple minutes Oliver and Sara were suited up and were preparing their weapons and earpieces too. As Oliver gathered his arrows and loaded his quiver he talked to Felicity about where they were headed.

"What are we looking at Felicity?" Oliver asked.

"It's an old abandoned bank, about six blocks from here. Looks like they have about twenty men all heavily armed. There is a skylight as well as two back doors. The front of the building has several large glass windows so you might not want to go in that way." Felicity said with a smile on her face and a laugh in her voice. She knew they never used the front door but couldn't keep from saying it anyway, besides it would show everyone else how the Team really works. They never take the easy way. "I'm working on getting us access to all the cameras in the area."

"Diggle, you and Roy take the back entrances. Sara, you and I will enter through the skylight." Oliver said as he strapped on his quiver. He walked over to Felicity and he placed his hand on her shoulder. "Felicity, you guide us in."

"Of course, what else would I do?" Felicity responded as she looked to Oliver with a smile on her face. "Please be careful. Come back to me." She said quietly as she laid her hand on top of the hand that he had already placed on her shoulder and she locked eyes with his.

"I'll always come back to you Felicity." Oliver replied quietly before planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Let's go stop some arms dealers." He said to the rest of the Team as he headed for the stairs.

"Oliver!" Moira called as Oliver reached the bottom of the stairs. Oliver turned to her with a look of curiosity. "Be careful. Please."

"We'll be back soon Mom." Oliver replied, not willing to commit to what she was asking. His job was dangerous and being careful wasn't always an option.

Walter, Moira, Laurel, Lance, and Thea looked after the Team as they left. They were all a bit worried for Oliver who was still healing from the injuries from Malcolm's torture of him and they didn't want him to be further injured, however they also knew that he had a job to do.

"You guys can pull up a chair and watch the Team if you want. I have visuals on the cameras in the area and audio through the earpieces that each one of them is using." Felicity said to the group as she was working away on her computers.

The group all pulled up chairs around Felicity and her computers. She wasn't used to having people watch her while she worked like this, but she knew that it would do everyone good to see how the Team worked and just how good they really were.

"Oliver and Sara took their bikes while Diggle and Roy took the car. They will all get there approximately the same time." Felicity informed the group as she was watching the Team make their way to the target building on the street cameras.

"How are you keeping track of them?" Moira asked, she was in awe at the fact that they had a video feed of not only the bank but apparently the route there as well.

"She's using the traffic cameras along the route that they are taking." Lance provided having recognized some of the angles that they were seeing. "Smart woman." He didn't miss the smile that crossed Felicity's face at those words.

"Oliver, Sara, turn right at the next light. It will bring you to the taller building right next to the back and you can use that to get to the roof of the bank. Digg, go to the next block. There is a parking garage right across from the back of the bank that you can hide the car in." Felicity said to the Team, guiding them to where they needed to go.

"Got it." Diggle replied over the comms.

"They can hear you? How can we hear them?" Thea asked, a bit confused as to how Oliver and the Team could hear Felicity and they could hear the Team since she obviously wasn't on the phone with anyone.

"We all wear earpieces that are communication devices. I have them on speaker so that we all can hear what they are saying. The mic however has been set up so that they can hear only me so that they don't get distracted by any background noises on this end. Concentration is key in a mission." Felicity stated after muting her mic. The last thing the Team needed was to be distracted by the conversation in the lair when they were about to be dealing with twenty armed men with such a large amount of weapons.

"Felicity, we're here." They all heard Oliver say as they saw him pulling up on the video feed. They watched as Oliver and Sara parked their bikes and Oliver removed his helmet and pulled up his hood. They all watched in awe as Oliver and Sara turned to the fire escape, which started about seven feet off the ground, on the building next to the bank making their way up to the roof. They lost sight of them almost instantly when they got off of street level.

"How are they going to get over to the roof of the bank now?" Laurel asked condescendingly. "It's not like there is a bridge or a catwalk or anything that they can get across on is there?"

"Oliver, we're in position at the back door. Two guards have been taken care of." They heard as Diggle informed Oliver that he and Roy were in position and ready to go.

"Hold there until we are in place. We'll breach the building on my signal." Oliver replied, clearly focused on the mission.

"Diggle, Roy, there are two armed men behind each of those back doors so be careful when you go in." Felicity informed them. Suddenly everyone in the foundry heard what sounded like two bodies falling.

"What was that?" Lanced asked, worry evident in his voice. He was clearly worried for Sara, even if he did know that she could take care of herself. He didn't want his baby girl to be hurt.

"Oliver, are you guys okay?" Felicity asked, trying not to sound worried over the comms.

"Fine, we just jumped across to the roof of the bank. Where's the best place to drop in?" Oliver explained, knowing why she had asked as she would have known exactly what they had done, but the others would not. Felicity smiled as she heard numerous gasps of surprise from the group as they had not been expecting that answer.

"The main lobby of the bank is where most of the men are located. You need to move about ten feet to the north from your current position." Felicity told him, much to the surprise of everyone watching and listening in the foundry.

"How do you know exactly how far they have to move to be in the right position?" Thea asked curiously.

"They all have a tracker on them so that we know exactly where they are at all times." Felicity said as she enlarged one of the maps on her screen that had four red dots. "These red dots show where each member of the team are." She explained.

"Interesting." Lance said thoughtfully. Apparently the Team was very serious about their missions and they took more precautions that he had been aware of.

"Okay Felicity we are in position." Oliver said as he was clearly preparing to enter the bank. "Digg, Roy, you ready?"

"Ready!" Both Diggle and Roy responded in unison.

"Oliver wait!" Sara said suddenly and the urgency was clear in her voice.

"What is it Oliver?" Felicity asked, suddenly concerned. She became even more worried when she heard Oliver's reply.

"Felicity, there are lasers just under the glass here on the roof. It looks like if we break the lasers then the whole roof is rigged to blow."
