[DC 110] ENCRYPTED TEXT TO CISCO RAMON

[smoak]

[ The bombings happen at noon. From inside IntSec at the Wagon Wheel, the directive to encryption breakers is to immediately find and identify which secret society is responsible. The first thirty minutes are hectic — Felicity's supervisor is constantly pacing between their cubicles, asking for updates. The first chance she gets however, Felicity sends Cisco a message from her workstation, which she's now hacked to access her own PDC remotely. ]

Cisco. We just found out about the explosions in R&D. I just wanted to check in. Are you okay?

[ She's trying not to sound as worried as she actually is. ]

Comments

Delayed until approximately 20:30.

Define okay.

[smoak]

[ There's probably a slew of texts waiting for him between her original text and when he responds. Along the lines of:

Cisco.
Oh god Cisco please be okay.
Please just tell me your PDC got damaged.

Until work is over at 16:00 and she even goes to R&D, but everything's pretty much cleaned up by then. At 18:00, she doesn't see him at the Mandatory ceremony and then Felicity is really worried. ]

Cisco! Where are you?

[namegenerator]

In the hospital. It's fine, I'm fine. It looks worse than it is.

[ Except that that's a huge lie and if not for their crazy high tech medical facility, he doesn't really want to think about what kind of shape he'd be in by now... ]

[smoak]

Stay where you are.

[ She actually manages to delete that one before she sends it. Of course he's staying where he is. ]

I'm on my way.

[ But once she gets there, and asks for him, a very stubborn nurse refuses to let her see him. Literally, stands in between Felicity and the door to his entire wing. ]

Hey, they won't let me in.
Hopefully that means you're getting to rest in peace and quiet.
The staff says I can come back tomorrow.

[ There's a little break before her next text, as Felicity tries to decide whether to call Oliver and try to storm their way in, or if she's better off trusting the system this time. ]

I'm sure I'll still be here. It's okay Felicity. Just...it's okay. I'll see you tomorrow, just stay safe.

[smoak]

Don't go anywhere on me Cisco Ramon. I'll be back tomorrow. First thing.

[namegenerator]

I won't. I'll see you in the morning. Seriously, just stay safe. That's all I ask.
