In some cases, it could be herself. Maybe she pushed herself too hard in her work or training, and her body or mind couldn't take it anymore. This self - inflicted harm could be a key part of the fanfiction's plot, as she then has to deal with the consequences and learn from her over - zealousness.
Another possibility is that she gets hurt emotionally. Maybe a relationship in the fanfiction turns sour. A betrayal by a close friend or a lover could be considered as a form of 'getting hurt'. This could then lead to her making some different choices in the story and growing as a character from the pain she experiences.
One possible fanfiction could be that Felicity discovers she's pregnant unexpectedly. Maybe she initially tries to keep it a secret from Oliver because she's worried about how it will affect their superhero lives. But eventually, she has to tell him and they have to figure out how to balance their duties and the new life coming.
She could become more cautious. After getting hurt, Felicity might be more aware of the risks she takes. For instance, she may double - check security measures before diving into dangerous cyber - investigations.
One possible plotline could be that Felicity gets hurt during a cyber - attack. Hackers target her while she's trying to protect Star City's network. As she battles them, they manage to send a virus that causes physical harm through her tech interface. Another could be she gets caught in the crossfire of a fight between Arrow and one of his villains. Maybe the villain uses her as a hostage and in the struggle to free her, she gets injured.
Well, it could be that Felicity is pregnant and she has some sort of premonition about the baby having special powers. This leads her and Oliver on a quest to find out more about the baby's potential future. Maybe they meet some old characters from the Arrow universe who have knowledge about such things.
Well, in such a fanfiction, the story might explore how Felicity's pregnancy affects Team Arrow's dynamics. Her pregnancy could be a target for their enemies. Also, it could show her struggle to balance her role in the team with her new situation. She might start training other members more to take over some of her tasks during her pregnancy.
A fanfic could also explore the reactions of the other characters like Diggle and Thea. Diggle might offer his fatherly advice since he has experience with fatherhood. Thea could be excited about becoming an aunt and start planning all kinds of things for the baby. This would add a touch of family - like warmth to the often - intense Arrow universe.
Sure. Fanfiction.net also has a good collection. Some stories might center around their adventures together, how they support each other during tough times in the Arrow universe. These stories are more about their connection as friends and partners rather than sexual content.
Ra's al Ghul might be another possibility. He has a long - term view of things and Felicity's intelligence could be useful for his grand plans. He might want to use her to build some sort of advanced weapon or decrypt important information.
