"Felicity, are you okay?"
Coming out of her thoughts Felicity Smoak stammered, "I'm, I'm fine thanks Caitlin. You?"
"Yeah..." Caitlin Snow frowned, "I'm just worried about my friend, and wondering why she wanted to talk to me alone."
"Oh, that." Felicity grinned, "I just thought this would be better, you know? I mean, Sara's great. Like really, really great. Amazing actually. But she can be a bit much, sometimes. And Nyssa, don't get me started on Nyssa. I don't want them to overwhelm you, especially after everything you went through with Ronnie."
This confused Caitlin even more, "What do you mean, exactly?"
"Let's put a pin in that for just a second." Felicity dismissed, "How have you been doing, you know? With Ronnie..."
"Being dead, only not, then after a year of absence marry him only for him to immediately die? Yeah, it's been hard." Caitlin grumbled, before softening her tone as it wasn't fair to take that out on her friend, "It's been about a year now, since he, you know, officially died... and... it's hard."
"I'm sorry." Felicity said softly, squeezing her friend's hand over the table.
"It is what it is." Caitlin said sadly, "I'm dealing with it. Or at least I'm trying."
"Have you at least managed to find a rebound guy, like I suggested?" Felicity asked hopefully.
"Yeah." Caitlin grumbled, "He was evil."
"I'm sorry." Felicity said again with a reassuring smile, "Dating can be the worst. Especially given most guys our age only want one thing."
"What? No, he was literally evil." Caitlin explained, "You remember Zoom? That turned out to be the guy I was dating."
"Wow, really? God, you really do have the worst luck." Felicity said without thinking, immediately hating herself for it, "Oh God, I'm so sorry. I-"
"It's fine." Caitlin reassured, "Maybe, one day I'll find it funny, but it happened pretty recently, so can we talk about something else? Like anything? Oh, speaking of dating, I hear congratulations are in order. You and Sara? What is it, a whole year together? That's so great Felicity. I'm so, so happy for you."
"Thanks." Felicity beamed, cautiously adding, "But we don't have to talk about it if you don't want too."
"Why? Because my love life is a flaming wreck? Please, I could do with a distraction." Caitlin reassured, "Please tell me more."
"Okay." Felicity beamed happily, "Sara's amazing. She's so smart, and funny, and oh my God she's so freaking hot. And the sex? I literally don't have the words."
"That's great." Caitlin smiled, unable to stop herself from asking out of curiosity, "But, isn't it weird? Being with a girl, I mean?"
"No." Felicity said quickly, before admitting, "Well, maybe a little bit, but it's a good kind of weird, you know? Or different! Yes, I like different. It's different, but incredible. I love everything we do together, mmmmm, especially lately. Hey, did you want to hear what we did for her one-year anniversary?"
"Sure." Caitlin grinned, before quickly adding, "As long as it's not too graphic."
"Do me a favour? Start sipping your drink first?" Felicity asked hopefully, and then when Caitlin gave a look the hacker protested, "What? I wanna see if I can get a spit take out of this."
"Fine." Caitlin sighed, indulging her friend, "But I warn you, I'm a doctor, and I've spent two years being confronted by the impossible weekly. It'd take a lot to shock me."
Felicity hummed, waiting until her friend had a mouthful of martini before revealing, "We had a three-way with Nyssa."
This didn't get the spit take Felicity was hoping for, but Caitlin did choke on the alcohol a little before swallowing and exclaiming, "You, you invited your girlfriend's ex-girlfriend into your bed?"
"Well, she's not her ex-girlfriend anymore." Felicity teased, before continuing, "She's my girlfriend. And Sara's. We're a thruple."
There was a long pause and then Caitlin admitted, "Okay, that's pretty shocking. But it's not as uncommon as people think. I was reading this article the other day-
"Then we made Thea and Laurel our sex slaves." Felicity finally revealed, really feeling like she was on a roll now, "This was after we solidified our relationship of course. Which is still going strong, we just have other playmates now."
There was another long pause and then Caitlin admitted, "Yeah, that's a new one."
"I'm not trying to freak you out." Felicity said softly.
"I'm not-" Caitlin began to protest loudly and unconvincingly, before quieting her voice, "Okay, I'm a little freaked out. But it's fine. It's... fine."
"Because I just wanted to be honest, and..." Felicity protested.
"No, you have. And I appreciate that." Caitlin insisted, softening her tone once more and squeezing Felicity's hand, "You've been such a good friend to me, Felicity, and I do really appreciate having you in my corner over the past few years."
"Me too." Felicity said softly, rubbing Caitlin's hand, "Which is why I have a proposition for you..."
"P, proposition?" Caitlin stammered, seriously considering pulling her hand away.
"Yeah..." Felicity murmured softly, briefly crippled by the same anxiousness and doubt which had stopped her from doing this earlier in the night, before she thought of her beloved Sara, which gave Felicity the courage she needed to take a calming breath and tell her friend, "Just, just hear me out? Okay? Lately we've, as in me, Sara and Nyssa... have been going out together... hunting, as Sara likes to call it... for a woman, or women, who would like to join us. Just for a night! We're not looking for another full-time pet, and we're certainly not looking for another girlfriend. We're just looking for some fun, and after everything you've been through, I think you could really use some no strings attached fun."
There was yet another long pause, the longest yet, and then Caitlin stammered, "Wow... just... wow... I'm, I'm flattered. So flattered, really. But I'm not... well..."
"Gay?" Felicity offered with a gentle smile, "Neither am I. Honestly, I wasn't even sure I liked women before Sara seduced me. Or at least, that's what I told myself. I explained away lingering looks and thoughts with articles about how it was natural to be curious, but Sara proved me wrong, and I'm so happy she did, because our relationship was a revelation. But that doesn't have to be what it's like for you Caitlin. You can just have a night of fun, then you can go back to pretending you don't have a crush on Iris."
"Iris?" Caitlin blushed, before weekly protesting, "I don't-"
"We fucked her. Did she tell you that?" Felicity interrupted, suddenly feeling confident again, "Did she tell you that, huh? Did Iris West tell you about how we gang banged her and her little girlfriend Linda on our very first night here? Well, they weren't actually girlfriends then, but they were by the time we were done with them. Mmmmm, then after a week of having fun with them we went after little Jesse, and God, does that little Speedster make an excellent submissive slut. Which again, you should ask Iris about, considering we gave Jesse to her as a present. We even put a little bow on her, and then watched as Iris and Linda made her their bitch. Does that excite you Caitlin? Huh? The thought of being Iris's bitch?"
"I... I, I..." Caitlin stammered.
"But, this wasn't supposed to be about throwing you in the deep end." Felicity quickly slowed things down, "If I had been okay with that, I would have let Sara and Nyssa do it. Or maybe even let Iris take a shot. But you've been too good a friend to me for that, so insisted on being upfront with you. That way, if you want, we can just forget the whole freaking thing. I'll even give you some space if you need. But... I really think this would be good for you. And I... I want you Caitlin. I want to show you everything I've learned over the past year or so about myself, because if ever anyone deserved it, it's you. And honestly? I just want you because you're incredibly beautiful, and a wonderful person. And if you like, it can be just the two of us. You and me. No toys, no kinky shit, not even anyone watching. Just one woman giving another pleasure. Just... promise me you'll think about it? Please?"
There was yet another extremely long pause and then Caitlin mumbled softly, "I promise."
"Great." Felicity smiled softly, then after another pause asked, "So, you want to get another drink, or-"
"No, I... I need to clear my head." Caitlin stammered, finally pulling her hand away from Felicity and stumbled towards the door.
Sara, who had been watching from a short distance away, slowly approached, wrapped her arms around Felicity who happily relaxed into them, and then she softly asked, "Do you want me to go after her, babe?"
