<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">Felicity and her friends had made it to the ship with only moments to spare and try to take cover from the blast. She checked on Thea, John, and the others and after getting confirmation that everyone was okay aside from a few bumps and bruises, felt her heart rate settle down a little. A strange thing happened as they all hunkered down on the ship. Several more explosions went off, and then a large one that looked like the entire island was in jeopardy, which told her that Chase had somehow managed to set off the landmines. The ship shook dangerously as the landmines caused more and more damage and caused huge fires to spread across the island. <br/><br/>Her concern wouldn't go away anytime soon, because they didn't know if Oliver and William were still alive. Samantha was a few feet away from her, trying to leave the ship and break free from John, who had grabbed her to keep her safe on the ship, and keep her from running off half cocked to try and find William. The blonde sucked up the jealousy she felt at seeing Samantha, and walked over to the other woman, wanting to offer her comfort. The jealousy she felt was real and it reared it's ugly head but now wasn't the time to worry about such trivial things. She walked over to Samantha and gave the other woman a small smile. <br/><br/>"If there's one thing that I know about Oliver with absolute certainty, it's that he would and will do anything and everything that he can, to keep William safe. I just want you to know that. He loves <br/>that little boy with everything in him and he will get your son back to you no matter what happens. I've seen Oliver do some amazing things, and if you think some little blast is going to kill him, well, you're wrong." The firm conviction in her voice was merely for show. She glanced over at John and Thea and shared a concerned look with them. They had to get Samantha and the others out of there and then they could start a search of the island for Oliver and William. <br/><br/>And Chase, if that jerk was still alive. Felicity glanced around and her eyes landed on a ship that had apparently seen and heard the explosions and was coming to investigate. "Rene, Dinah, Thea, you guys lead Samantha, Curtis, Slade and the others to that ship that's arriving. Tell them that you're from Starling City and all of you need to get back there. Quentin, John and I will stay here and track down Oliver and William, and we'll see if Malcolm's still alive. Send a boat back as soon as you can, but STAY in the city," The blonde said firmly. "The city still needs protection, and we don't want to spread ourselves too thin."<br/><br/>________________________<br/><br/>Iris was worried. It had been a few days since she had heard from Felicity or Thea. Neither of her friend's were answering their cell phones or house phones. And she had even tried calling Oliver and Quentin, hoping that they would know what was going on, but had got no answer from them, either. She walked into S.T.A.R. Labs, let herself inside and went to find Cisco. She knew that he would <br/>be working on the treadmill for Wally. The young woman pressed a button and then spoke into the microphone to get his attention. "Cisco, we need to talk. Something's wrong with Oliver, Felicity, <br/>and the other's in Starling."<br/><br/>"Can you take a break and talk to me?" The concern that she felt for their friends was clear to see on her face. After saying what she had to say, she released the button on the microphone and left the small encased room, going to the cortex so they could both sit down and talk. Iris took a seat and waited for Cisco to join her. When he walked into the room a few moments later, she looked up and then motioned for him to have a seat beside her. "Okay, so here's the deal. I can't get ahold of Felicity or Thea. I usually talk to them every other day or so, but it's been a few days and I haven't heard from them."<br/><br/>"I also called Oliver and even Quentin, and neither of them are answering either, and I'm worried. I know that Oliver's notorious for not answering his cell phone, because he hates the thing, but Quentin would never not answer his. So, what do we do? Can you and my Dad contact the SCPD and see what's going on? I'm sure that it hasn't escaped public notice that Oliver, the Mayor, and Quentin, an SCPD officer, haven't been seen or heard from in days. I mean, someone has to know something, right?" The worry on her face got more and more pronounced as she continued to speak, afraid that something bad might have happened to their friends. <br/><br/>"And I don't want you and my Dad to be the only ones that are doing something. I need to do something, too. I just don't know what that is. Tell me what you need me to do," Iris said, worried and eager to help. She fell silent after speaking and waited to see what Cisco would say to everything that she had told him.<br/></span>
