User blog:Nightslayer2/Arrow Season 7 (Nightslayer2's Version)

T'''his is my version of the seventh season of Arrow. I hope everyone likes it. There are few key plot elements that need to be explained before this happens. Dinah Drake, the current Black Canary, retires from the field due to being appointed the new police captain when Kimberly Hill was dismissed for siding with Ricardo Diaz. Rene Ramirez has retired from vigilantism and spends more time being a self-defense instructor and weapons trainer for A.R.G.U.S since Diggle offered him a job due to being the newly appointed deputy director of the agency. Oliver has been reinstated as mayor and Quentin continues to serve as his deputy mayor while still missing Black Siren, who has left him a letter last year thanking Quentin for believing in her and that she needs some time to be alone to think for herself. Curtis and Felicity still continue to run Helix Dynamics while getting an investment from Kord Industries. Because of Agent Watson and the FBI’s investigation as well as Cayden James and Ricardo Diaz’s attacks on the Queen Administration, the City Council are saddened to want Oliver to go because they feel he is unstable to run the city. However, they do allow Oliver to appoint a successor to the role and gives him only 6 months to be the mayor. William also finally accepted his father being the Green Arrow feeling that Star City needs him to be that person. Agent Watson has been dismissed from the FBI due to accepting evidence from Cayden James. However, Watson disappeared before she could be questioned and is currently in hiding at Cuba. The FBI even dropped charges on the criminals that Watson arrested in the past since she had Cayden James illegally collect evidence for her. However, Watson still vows to prove Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow. '''

'''While at the Mayor’s office, Oliver meets SCPD CSI supervisor Andrew Lopez and Captain Dinah Drake who inform him that there has been gay people who have attacked all over the city, one of the victims includes Curtis’ ex-husband Paul, who moved on and started a relationship with someone else. Curtis then promises Paul that he would avenge his lover’s death. Curtis’ boyfriend Nick becomes concerned about this, however, Curtis reassures Nick that he loves him and that all he wants is for Paul to be happy. That’s why Curtis takes time off from Helix Dynamics to help the Green Arrow with his investigation. Curtis spends the night on the town and gets attacked by young gang members, however, he and the Green Arrow fight them off. The Green Arrow becomes shocked to discover that one of the thugs is William’s classmate. The trail leads them to the Warhogs, a criminal organization secretly led by respected businessman Freddy Dreyfus. Dreyfus sends his associate Reggie Mandell to inspect the operations while at his farm in Bludhaven. Mandell meets with Kebo and Kebo explains how business is great for the mob,  with recruitment, drugs, prostitution, protection all doing well. Reggie provides his people with cocaine, but he abstains because it gives him an edge over them. Suddenly, an arrow shoots through the couch beside, and a surprised Reggie finds that Green Arrow has his bow trained on him. Oliver reveals that Kebo has been drawing negative attention to the Warhogs by coordinating the recent attacks against homosexuals. Oliver adds that Kebo has a personal vendetta against homosexuals because he was twice a victim of gang rape while in prison. Despite this, Reggie states that Oliver won't have earned the right to be heard until he himself runs the Warhogs' initiation gauntlet. Oliver agrees, taking a heavy beating, and eventually having to drag himself to the end of the line. While successful, he is badly hurt. When asked what he wants, Oliver explains that it's only a matter of time before the police follow the same trail he did to find Kebo. With the pressure on, a desperate Kebo reveals that he contracted AIDS as a result of his rape, which he felt justified the murder of homosexuals. Green Arrow knocks his gun away, but Reggie shoots Kebo dead, claiming that the Warhogs take care of their own. Before leaving, Oliver states that he is going to make himself a problem for the Warhogs in Star City. William’s classmate is still under pressure to stay in the gang even though Kebo is gone, he is still being pressured to stay in the gang, however, Oliver promises to do something about it. Elsewhere, a serial killer murders a homeless kid after luring him. '''

'''With Kebo out of the picture, Mandell replaces him with Rough Cut. Rough Cut and the two other men go party at a strip club owned by Anthony Scarapelli. Scarapelli has given them a private audience. As a woman dances and strips, he gives her a small chunk of diamond. Black Siren covers for the other stripping women and ushers every single person out of the strip club apart from Rough Cut. He runs out before she can get him, but gets injured. However, she gets rescued by an elderly man named Stanley Dover, who nurses her back to health. Black Siren then contacts Oliver and Oliver comes to Dover’s home where Black Siren explains the situation to him. Later, Black Siren attacks Rough Cut whilst he is driving a craned truck. Black Siren slips the crane hook under the truck and escapes before it crashes, the hook flying over and slicing a ship full of goods in half. The truck overturns and Rough Cut is killed. When Black Siren and the Green Arrow goes to the ship, she finds a group of trafficked girls, including Sin. Black Siren gives Sin a handful of diamonds.'''

'''During this time, Quentin decides to bring in Scarapelli after discovering Scarapelli has been abusing his customers in order to force them to pay him for unreasonable prices. Quentin attempts to have this happen to himself so he can press charges on Scarapelli, however, he becomes smitten with a stripper and spends the night with her. However, the stripper is found dead in his car which is why Commissioner Westberg refuses to allow Quentin anywhere near the crime scene. Black Siren learns of this and decides to bring her Earth-1 doppelganger back from the dead. Eventually, the CSIs find evidence to exonerate Lance of any wrongdoing, but are unable to find the culprit even though Lance knows Scarapelli is responsible. '''

'''Oliver arrives to the Arrowcave where he finds Black Siren with Laurel’s open coffin, after she explains what she is trying to do Oliver tries to talk her out of it but eventually relents after she tells him that this is her redemption and because he wants Laurel back. Black Siren explains that there are myths on her Earth about a group of people called, The Monitors, that studied the secrets of the multiverse and learned to take the life-force of their doppelgängers effectively making themselves immortal, however, Siren explain that it is possible to use in a reverse manner by transferring her life-force to Laurel's corpse in hopes to resurrect her; she claims that she discovered this method years ago when she was trying to bring her loved ones back but couldn’t because of their lack of bodies. Siren tells Oliver that she was probably better off never meeting Oliver but tells him that maybe just one version of themselves can be together now. She even warns Oliver that his Laurel will not have a soul if revived. As Black Siren starts to transfer her life force, the process is so painful that Black Siren starts screaming causing the arrow-cave to be damaged. Ultimately, Black Siren is now a withered husk while Laurel now alive exits her coffin and gazes at Black Siren's corpse. Oliver asks if it really is Laurel as she sarcastically replies how many of her are there, causing Oliver to embrace her and the two gaze at each other. However, suddenly the Team (Rene, Dinah, Curtis, John, and Felicity) enters the cave with John and Rene pointing their guns at her with Dinah thinking that Laurel is Black Siren and angry at her for killing Vincent, attacks Laurel. Confused Laurel fights back. However, Oliver quickly intervenes tells everyone that it really is their Laurel and tells everyone to look at the coffin, realizing that it is indeed the Laurel they knew with everyone then quickly hugging, crying, and apologizing for their earlier actions now and before her death. Laurel asks to go see her father, and Oliver takes him to Quentin, who is overjoyed to see that his daughter is alive. However, Dinah refuses to interact with Laurel since she looks exactly like the woman who murdered her lover, Vincent Sobel/Vigilante. Laurel begins to learn more about the multiverse, about William staying with Oliver, and what happened in the last two years when she was dead. Laurel begins to spend more time out as Black Canary, however, she becomes a highly skilled martial artist now. She also doesn't remember anything about the time she was dead and has no memories of these new combat skills as it is just muscle memory to her. Felicity has also noticed that Laurel has been exhibited some of Black Siren's personality traits as well she is more sarcastic, jaded, and violent during training and in the field, which worries her but Oliver dismisses it believing she is just being affected by the recent changes in her life.'''

'''Lyla and A.R.G.U.S informs the team that an assassin named Baptiste is going to assassinate a visiting foreign dignitary that Oliver is meeting due to his role as mayor. Baptiste becomes identified as a former FBI agent and a partner to Samandra Watson. Oliver has Christopher Chance impersonate the Green Arrow so that he can protect the foreigner while not casting suspicion onto himself like Diaz did last year when he leaked the photo about Oliver. In Cuba, at  bar, upon seeing the news of Oliver and the Green Arrow working together, Watson decides to come back to Star City at once and leaves the place. '''

'''On Earth-2, it turns out that Robert Queen has become the Green Arrow on the earth. His allies include police Captain Frank Pike and computer science expert Cayden James. Cayden detects a portal to get to Star City on Earth-1 and Robert decides to go there to hunt down Black Siren. It’s revealed that Robert has a suit similar to Oliver’s except that he carries a sword like Chase did back then as well as a full face mask. Robert then tracks down Laurel and attacks her believing Laurel is Black Siren. Oliver comes to Laurel’s device and becomes surprised at Laurel’s advanced fighting skills as well as her sonic scream. He also gets shocked that his father’s doppelganger is the Green Arrow. This becomes similar to when Oliver was face to face with the Earth-X version of Tommy Merlyn. Earth-2 Robert explains that after failing to stop Mayor Merlyn from destroying the Glades on his earth, he injected himself with Mirakuru. The Mirakuru would enhance Robert's physical condition to allow him to operate as a vigilante in spite of his age. Additionally, additionally because Robert is basically the Flashpoint Batman, he would be an even more violent vigilante than the Earth One version of his son and the because the Mirakuru would make Robert unstable would be a reason for this. Robert becomes ashamed of Oliver for losing Queen Consolidated and felt that he failed this city, however, he eventually decides to return to his earth not wanting to have anything to do with Oliver again. Oliver then begins to wonder whether or not Robert would be ashamed of him despite Felicity and Diggle telling him that Robert would proud of Oliver. Watson then returns to Star City while being undetected since the FBI wants to bring her in for questioning. '''

'''When the Star City Slayer begins to attract a lot of publicity, Oliver and his team investigates. Oliver is personally motivated to bring the killer in since the Star City Slayer only kills homeless orphans and because William is his son. Oliver suspects that Reggie Mandell is the culprit and attacks him as the Green Arrow when Mandell is with Sin, who has become a prostitute. Sin returns to her pimp. Richard has learned about what has happened and decides that he must kill Sin before Green Arrow comes gunning for him. But Sin evades Richard's attack and slices a tendon in his hand. Oliver confronts Star City comptroller, Harold Leeds. He demands to know why Leeds authorized the closure of the Star City Youth Center. Leeds tells him that it was closed in order to safeguard orphans from the recent Star Slayer murders.Later, Stanley Dover buys the Star City Youth Center. One of the first new employees is former prostitute Sin. Sin tells Ollie that she knows he is Green Arrow and tells him how he is no Batman. She asks Ollie for a place to stay and Stanley allows Sin to stay at her home. Unknown to Oliver, Watson is seen taking a photograph of him meeting with Dover. Dover is later revealed to be the Star City Slayer when he finds the blood from the children he killed to a creature within a subtaranean glass cage. '''

'''Watson visits Dover at his home and it is revealed Dover has been helping Watson with her investigation into Oliver. However, fearful that Watson will ruin his plans, Dover drugs her and takes her to a cabin in the woods. Dover visits Watson to give her food and water. Watson demands an explanation and Dover explains that he has been savagely murdering boys and girls to use their blood as a means of baiting a demonic entity known as the Beast With No Name. '''

'Dover also reveals his origins to Watson: Dover and his wife Marge lived in the suburbs where they enjoyed life as a cheerful, wholesome, church-going couple. The rising popularity of Satanism however, lured them away from the church and they began participating in various occult rituals. While Marge enjoyed them merely for the sex orgies, Stanley was captivated by the Satanic lust for power. The time eventually came when Marge became pregnant, and she no longer wished to be part of the cult following. Stanley was elated by the news of his wife's pregnancy, but upset that she wanted to abandon their new church. Dover wanted to use the infant as a human sacrifice for the Great Beast in a bid to gain immortality. Marge was repulsed by her husband's desires and soon left him. Stanley then continued to research the occult seeking a means to summon the Great Beast. In 1968, he met Jason Blood who told him about the Magdalene Grimoire. Dover learned that the book was in possession of a notorious Magus named Roderick Burgess. Tracking Roderick down, Dover learned he was dead and stole the book during a party from Burgess' son Alexander. Dover then kills a homeless child in front of Watson despite Watson begging him not to do that. However, Dover and Watson becomes disturbed at what she just saw and tells Dover to stay away from her. '

'''During the four way crossover, Oliver meets James Olsen and Olsen decides to stay with Team Arrow for a while. I was thinking that there would be an alternate world called the Flashpoint earth which Barry Allen created by accident. The Thanagarians would decide to invade Earth-1. On the alternate earth, J’onn J’onzz would be the head of the D.E.O leading the fight, Adrian Chase would be the protector of Star City as the Vigilante (he becomes that because he was given away by Claybourne to the Chase family. Growing up, Adrian knew who his father was and hated the monster he was. Chase became a lawyer like his foster father Charles Chase except he went on to work in the district attorney’s office but decided to become a brutal vigilante), and other things. Or it could be about Gorilla Grodd forming is own legion of doom like Eobard95 thought. Either one would be good. I also had the idea of Earth-1 and Earth-38 becoming fused together, joining Supergirl. I also would like for Winn to meet Felicity and Curtis and they compete to see who the best hacker in the world is.'''

'''After the invasion, Dover goes to visit Watson to tie up loose ends since he doesn’t need her anymore. Dover sets the cabin to explode and leaves Watson behind despite Watson being paranoid at all this by screaming to turn that off and that it’s murder. Watson is able to escape from her cage and tries to escape the cabin only for Dover to have locked it. Watson tries to turn off the valve of the oxygen tank since that is increasing the explosions, however, she is too late and dies in the explosion. Dover calmly watches the cabin explode and drives away. Oliver and Felicity later meet with Constantine, who comes to warn them about Dover and explains how he is the Star City Slayer. Oliver then realizes that Laurel could be in danger remembering how Black Siren told him that Laurel would be soulless and that Dover needs a soulless individual in order to summon the Beast With No Name. Laurel is then kidnapped by Dover while in her sleep. '''

'''Laurel wakes up and Dover reveals that Black Siren confided in her about her plan to bring Laurel back, but did not count on Dover wanting to steal her body. The only reason Dover is doing this is because Laurel has no soul because of what Black Siren did. '''

'Years later, Dover found a tome called the Magdalene Grimoire which told of a Beast With No Name, a low-level demon that Stanley felt he could summon and control. As he grew older, he had children and ultimately a grandchild also named Stanley. Stanley Sr. would bring the infant Stanley to his demonic invocations in an effort to summon and bind the demon to Earth, but with no avail. What he never realized was, was that the Monster did appear on Earth, but was bonded to the younger Stanley, not the older one. It was only a year ago, that Dover learned that his grandson had bonded with the Monster and so he abducted him and began committing horrible child murders in the hopes of luring the Monster out of hiding. '

'''Constantine & Team Arrow try to get into Stanley's house only for them to not succeed because of the Blood Seal. However, Dinah and Quentin are the only ables to get through which surprises Constantine since anyone related to Laurel by blood can get through. Dover summons a horde of monsters to take on Dinah and Quentin. Laurel manages to break free and take Stanley down with her canary scream. All the demons vanish, except for Spot, young Stanley's demonic childhood Monster friend. Spot sends the demons back to hell and reunites with little Stanley. Spot then kills the older Stanley by eating him and Laurel is left with Stanley's entire estate since the older Stanley originally wanted to steal Laurel's identity. Laurel then decides to use Dover's estate to help the city as a means of saving the taxpayers money. Dinah starts to wonder if she and Laurel are related which is why she secretly does a DNA test with help from Curtis. Dinah becomes shocked to discover she is Laurel’s biological mother even though the two women have the same age. Oliver’s term as mayor is officially ended, however, he appoints Quentin to be his new successor. Later on, Oliver gets a call from Mr. Dennis (one of the high ranked executives at Palmer Tech), who reveals that even though his term as mayor his ended, he is still wanted by the Board to become their new CEO due to having successfully managed a city for two years as mayor. Oliver then reluctantly agrees to the offer. When Oliver, Felicity, and William return to their apartment. They become shocked to discover Felicity’s father Noah Kuttler dead in a pool of blood while in the bathtub. Felicity then starts to break down crying with William comforting her while Oliver takes out his cellphone and contacts the police. '''

'''The SCPD arrive to the scene as well as the FBI  due to Noah Kuttler having been a cyber criminal before he died (It's within the FBI's jurisdiction to bring in cyber criminals). Team Arrow analyzes the crime scene and unlike the FBI as well as the SCPD, they have found the identity of Kuttler’s killer: Stanley Dover. Dover recorded himself in a video and mocked Felicity about Kuttler’s death, causing Felicity to be upset at this. Dover’s actions sends Felicity down a path where she manipulates, deceives, and even purposely endangers the people that she cares about. This then prompts Oliver to seperate from Felicity until she can get her act together. Olsen discovers that Oliver was a serial killer known as the Hood many years ago and decides to leave National City not wanting to have anything to do with him anymore since Olsen does not associate with serial killers. Meanwhile, Dreyfus and Dr. Stan Cognate experiment with the remains of Mirakuru, since Dreyfus believes this can help to create a new street drug with greater effects than vertigo and stardust. Their test subject is Caleb Green. '''

'In 2008, Caleb watched on and pleaded as his father physically abused his mother. He continued to watch in horror as his father shot his mother in the head, followed by himself. He proceeded to weep'

'''Dreyfus has Green held against his will so that Cognate can study him. However, Green escapes to hunt down Oliver Queen because if he cannot get Robert, then he’ll get his son. Green intercepts Oliver outside of Palmer Tech when Oliver is meeting with Mr. Dennis and the Board of Directors. He attacks him causing ​​​​​​​Westberg and the ACU to go after him. Roy then arrives to help Oliver out in his new outfit (the one he wore in that episode with Athena was pretty cool by the way). Green then visits Felicity pretending to be Oliver’s old school friend and gives him a piece of wood from the Queen Mansion to give to Oliver. He eventually kidnaps William and when Oliver arrives, he knocks him out and ties him up. When Oliver wakes up, Green deduces he is the Green Arrow and reveals his plan to burn the mansion down with Oliver and William in it. Oliver manages to escape however and the two fight with Green destroying the cure that Oliver has made to cure him of the Mirakuru. The mansion eventually collapses with Green fatally wounded after being impaled on debris. Oliver survives however and attempts to administer aid to Green only for Green to claim it was to late. Before dying Green tells Oliver that no matter what he did he would always be the same selfish, inconsiderate person that he was before he was stranded on the island and that he would live with that. Green then died of his injuries. Dreyfus learns of what happened to Green and decides to delay production of the Mirakuru feeling that it will be bad for business. Dreyfus later meets with Scarapelli, who has returned from his meeting in Bludhaven with the Quadrant. Scarapelli reports to Dreyfus that the Quadrants wants nothing to do with Dreyfus anymore since they believe him to be incapable of conducting business affairs. To prove otherwise, Dreyfus decides to kill the Green Arrow in order to prove his worth to the Quadrant. Fortunately, Dreyfus is unaware that Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow. '''

'''Roy reveals that he has returned to Star City because Thea and Nyssa were captured by Talia and her cult while the trio were hunting down the Lazarus Pits that Malcolm Merlyn discovered before he perished on Lian Yu at the hands of Adrian Chase. Suddenly, Roy and Oliver are attacked by Nyssa Al Ghul. Nyssa is defeated and placed in the Arrowcave. The team discovers that after capturing her own sister, Talia brainwashed Nyssa by killing her and then resurrecting her in rapid succession, leaving Nyssa to be virtually broken from the trauma of dying again and again in so short a time. Diggle, Curtis, Lance, and Rene locate Olsen before he would leave for National City and convinces him to give Oliver a second chance. Olsen scolds them for associating with a cold blooded killer like Oliver. However, those four tell Olsen that Oliver has learned from his mistakes and has helped him become a better person. In other words, they convince Olsen to give Oliver a second chance. '''

'''Talia, anticipating that Nyssa would be hidden in the Arrowcave, orders her assassins to attack in order to kill her. However, those assassins are taken out by Team Arrow. Deciding to take the fight to Talia, Diggle, Team Arrow, and A.R.G.U.S start attacking her the place with the Lazarus Pits (same like in the movie Batman & Son). They find Thea captive and Oliver embraces his sister after he and Roy rush over to untie her. Talia reveals with her men and reveals that she has used the remaining Lazarus Pit to bring her father Ra’s back from the dead. Ra’s shocks Talia when he wants Oliver to kill him again. Oliver refuses and Ra’s pulls a knife to hold to Talia’s throat. However, Oliver is able to stop Ra’s from killing his own daughter. Nyssa tells Ra’s that his prolonged use of the Lazarus Pit had damaged his mind and body in the centuries that he had used them, which explained his wish to have a successor. Oliver still refused and told Ra's to cease using the Lazarus Pit or he would be back for him. Talia then wants nothing to do with her father anymore. Before leaving, Talia asks Oliver why he didn’t kill Ra’s again and Oliver tells Talia that the monster inside him is completely gone. Roy and Thea then decide to move together to Bludhaven. '''

'''Laurel and Dinah finally confront each other when Laurel asks her to face her problems as she knows what it is like to pretend to avoid her problems and act like everything is alright, eventually causing Dinah reluctantly to admit her trauma to her something that she hasn't done with anyone. Laurel ask Dinah to help her with her powers as while she can control them she wants to explore them and find less destructive uses for them than Black Siren did when she had. Dinah agrees and she and Laurel become friendly with each other, with Laurel asking to call her "DD" because every-time she calls her Dinah it just reminds her of mother; something that amuses Dinah as she did not know that Laurel's mother is named Dinah as well.'''

'''Olsen still has doubts about trusting Oliver knowing he was the Hood in the past, however, he gets abducted by Lime and Light, two twin sisters who have light-based powers due to being struck by the particle accelerator that Eobard Thawne created. They capture Olsen forcing Team Arrow to come rescue him. Olsen feels that he still has a lot to learn from Oliver and he agrees to put everything in the past which is why he decides to still remain in Star City. Lime and Light are then sent to be imprisoned at S.T.A.R Labs where Barry meets with Felicity. Barry gives advice to Felicity to reconcile with Oliver. Felicity attempts to do so, however, Oliver refuses because of Felicity’s actions and also secretly because of his feelings for Laurel. '''

'''Dinah later on confides in Laurel that she is actually her biological mother. Laurel then contacts Sara and the Legends. They discover that Dinah is actually an anachronism as after she was born in the 1960s she became time displaced at an orphanage in the 1980s. Wanting to meet her parents for the first time, the Waverider takes Dinah back to meet Richard and Mary Drake. Afterwards, Dinah learns that Laurel and Sara have now started to fade away from the timeline. Dinah then reluctantly decides to go back to the 1960s so that Laurel and Sara can be born. Before she leaves, Dinah resigns from the SCPD prompting Commissioner Westberg to run her precinct. Dinah says goodbye to Team Arrow and in particular thanks Oliver for giving her a second chance at life. She also says goodbye to Laurel and Sara saying she was proud to be a part of the Canary legacy and loves her daughters. After Sara takes Dinah back to the 1960s, Laurel goes to visit her mother, who is surprised she is still alive and doesn’t want her to be the Black Canary again since that cost Laurel her life three years ago. Laurel then responds that she has no say in how she lives her life especially given the fact she hasn't really been a part of her life in sometime.'''

'''Elsewhere, Scarapelli hires a mercenary known as Onomatopoeia,  a mercenary who has  earned his name because he imitates noises around him, such as dripping taps, gunshots, etc. It seems that he may be able to perfectly imitate these sounds but that has been left ambiguous. He invariably carries two semiautomatic handguns and an army knife, and is a skilled unarmed combatant.To test Onomatopoeia, Dreyfus pits his thugs led by Jimmy MacGowen against him. Onomatopoeia is able to kill all of them and an impressed Dreyfus decides to hire him. '''

'''A new vigilante has been in Star City calling herself Virago, who has focused on stopping small crimes, mostly muggings and petty vandalism due to having been inspired by the Green Arrow. Nevertheless, Onomatopoeia kills her by shooting a tranquilizer dart while she is on patrol and watches as she falls several stories down. He then goes up to her to slash her throat. Dreyfus and Scarapelli learns of this which makes Dreyfus upset at Onomatopoeia since he is paying him to go after Green Arrow, not Virago. However, Onomatopoeia reassures Dreyfus that this is all part of his plan to assassinate the Green Arrow. Dreyfus becomes pleased with this, however, Scarapelli becomes disturbed by Onomatopoeia. '''

'''Rory Regan, whose rags have now been repaired, returns to Star City to track down a drug lord known as Howard Spratt, who has been using his maple syrup business as a front for supplying vertigo to Havenrock. Felicity eventually finds out by Laurel, that she and Oliver are seeing each other again. While Felicity tries to remain calm about it and has been focusing on her Curtis's new company to distract her from her divorce, however, it eventually blows over causing her verbally attack Laurel and Oliver, citing that Laurel stole her husband. However, both of them eventually tell her off causing Felicity to realize that just how much she screwed up her marriage and that she has nothing really left in Star City anymore. '''

'''Onomatopoeia later targets William Clayton  by shooting him. Fortunately, Oliver rescues his son, however, William has to undergo surgery at the hospital and one of his surgeons is Dr. Schwartz. Feeling disturbed by Onomatopoeia, Scarapelli shows some signs of humanity by visiting Mayor Quentin Lance at the hospital where William is at and gives him information on Dreyfus. Scarapelli then goes into his car. Onomatopoeia arrives to finish the job, however, he is foiled by Laurel and Oliver. Oliver aims an arrow at the mercenary promising to kill him if his son does not survive the operation. Fortunately, Dr. Schwartz and her medical staff are able to save William and Onomatopoeia escapes. After all of this and Spratts being defeated, Felicity decides to move to Havenrock to make amends for the damages that she has caused and leaves with Rory.Before going she has a heartfelt goodbye to William, who has grown fond of her.'''

'''William asks Oliver to let him go to private school outside Star City, which Oliver reluctantly allows.With William gone, Oliver decides to focus all of his attention in bringing Onomatopoeia down. Thea or Nyssa or Talia is able to get him into contact with Natas,  a martial arts master Malcolm and her trained with four years ago (between seasons 3 and 2 of Arrow) .Oliver, Diggle, Roy, and Thea  go to train at Lian Yu or some other island. Natas then spends weeks beating Oliver, attacking and trying to kill him, and always fighting dirty. Thea begins to compare all of this to the Pink Panther movies that Robert loved so much where Inspector Clouseau was attacked by Cato, but less amusing. Natas puts Ollie through a brutal trial of martial combat. Over the course of many nights, Ollie hones his body to perfection and transforms himself into a living weapon. Diggle then tells Oliver that they still need to deal with Dreyfus and his mercenary. Oliver then decides to use Natas’ resources to play the stock market by stealing money from Dreyfus. He decides that when he returns to Star City, he is going to donate the money. Natas says goodbye to Oliver, and leaves a note behind for him, the note reading "I have sent an army to kill you". Ollie calls Roy and Thea to attention and tells them to prepare for a fight.Natas leaves Ollie, Roy, Dig, and Thea with a parting gift – a squadron of some of the world's deadliest assassins – and they have all been assigned to kill him. Ollie brings all of his allied masters together inside of a cave. Before they can realize what he is doing, Ollie sets off a detonator, which seals the cave. He doesn't want to place Diggle, Roy, and Thea into a situation where they might have to question their principles. Ollie runs off into the night to greet his attackers. For the next two hours, Ollie races about the island playing cat and mouse games with the hired killers. He baits several of them into any number of a series of traps, and uses their own skills and insights against them. He corrals many of them to one side of the island, then sets off another explosive charge, blocking their escape route.'''

'''Ollie finally defeats enough of the hired guns that a stalemate is called. Roy, Dig, and Thea manage to free themselves from the cave, and apprehend the remaining killers. Oliver, Roy, Dig, and Thea then return to civilization with help from Lyla and A.R.G.U.S. While those four or Talia or Nyssa are out with Natas, those staying behind to protect Star City are Guardian, Mr. Terrific, and Quentin Lance. '''

'''I’m not sure what happens as well, but Dreyfus and Onomatopoeia are defeated. Dreyfus is sent to prison penniless and with his crimes exposed with Scarapelli testifying against him. Olsen decides to go back to National City (in time for the season finale of Supergirl), Laurel decides to stay behind to train with Talia. She tells Oliver that she needs to time away from Star City and from him in order to figure out how to make a new life for herself and rediscover who she is. Oliver, although sad understands Laurel. He apologizes to her for revealing her identity to everyone stating that he should have been aware of the possibility that she might be resurrected someday. Laurel shows understanding to Oliver and they kiss goodbye with Laurel leaving to train with Talia’s cult. She even gives Quentin a hug beforehand. '''

'''Oliver continues to be the Green Arrow with Diggle while he and Quentin planning a special project for Laurel when she gets back. Oliver also continues to still run Palmer Tech. Curtis gives up being Mr. Terrific to manage Helix Dynamics with Alena while he and Nick adopt a child together. '''​​​​​​​
