"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.
