Put The

Smoak Out

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. This is a little something that's been rolling around in my head recently and you may likely need tissues after you're done reading it. Starts a day or so after the recent episode and no, I do not agree with how Felicity was acting towards Oliver. Hell, LAUREL handled ALL that WAY better then that girl did. So yeah, this is gonna feature Darhk doing something that's really, really NOT pleasant.

Two days after managing to get out of jail thanks to his well paid lawyers, Damien Darhk, leader of the Ghosts, and husband of the soon to be Mayor of Star City was on his way to one location in particular. And he had only one thing in mind as well. What that was you ask yourself? Why he wanted to have a nice little talk with one Felicity Smoak as it was long known she had connections with the vigilante known as the Green Arrow. The very same Green Arrow who had managed to get him thrown in jail for some time much to his annoyance and as well as costing him his connection to his magics. Though that could always be remedied but it was a pain in the ass he didn't really want to have to deal with. But deal with he would as he needed it in order to fulfill his plans for Star City. And the next time that damnedable arrow wielding fool and his friends interfered with his plans again, he would not hold back from the kill.

Through his many connections in the city, Damien had learned of an apartment Miss Smoak had been living in for sometime prior to her moving in with Oliver Queen. But after a break up between the two of them over what he felt was likely cause of young William, she had moved back in to that old apartment of her's that she'd been quiely paying for on the side in what was likely a fall back plan if anything went South between her and Queen. Heh, of course things have gone South thanks to me. Thought the man to himself amusedly.

Ah, how he loved helping young love out. Made him think he should do it more often in the future. Once his car arrived at the apartment building Felicity lived in, he quietly made his way inside and even took the stairs for the Hell of it with two of his men close behind. Sure, he could have used the elevator but he had all the time in the world and any sort of exersize was always a good thing to have. Some minutes later saw him at Miss Smoak's door and he knocked on it. And it wasn't long before the door opened either. "Jeez Oliver, do you not have any concept of giving time… Oh… You're not, you're not Oliver." Said the blonde with fear in her eyes.

"No, I'm not." Agreed the man with a smile on his face.

Felicity quickly tried shutting the door but Damien was quick to put a stop to that and forced himself inside with his two men following along. The lovely woman before him backed away in fear until she was up against a wall. Something he quickly used to his advantage and had his men grab her arms to keep her pinned. "Its rude to be so unwelcoming to guests Miss Smoak. But I suppose when you work with vigilantes like the Green Arrow, you likely develop some bad habits."

"I don't… I don't work with the Green Arrow!"

Damien shook his head in amusement. "Well then, the reports of your doing so must have been obviously false. I'm sure Mr. Queen would be relieved to know of that. As after all, it would most likely damage his chances of being Mayor. Oh! But wait a moment! He's no longer running." Ahh, that had been a great plan indeed since the man was being such a damnedable thorn in his and Ruve's sides until young William was involved.

Felicity tried to struggle against the two men keeping her against the wall but it was useless, not that she cared at all. The fury on her face was easy to see and Damien couldn't help but find it amusing. "Yeah, he's not running anymore because of you!"

"I know! Isn't it great? Now he's got time for other things that he was probably ignoring when he was busy running for office. Heck, maybe he can take young William out for a game or two!" Quality father-son bonding time was important after all.

"And you kidnap him again? Yeah, right!"

Damien chuckled at the woman's words. "Me? Kidnap William again? Oh perish the thought as there's no need to do that again as I've already gotten what I wanted."

The desire to spit on this man was growing but so far she kept from doing so to keep from provoking him into doing worse to her. Thankfully he didn't have any access to magic as no doubt she'd be getting thrown all over the place in a very painful way. God how she wished she could get free and get the Hell out of there! "Oliver will find a way to expose Ruve Adams' connection to you! And then you'll be out of luck all over again." She told him with conviction in her voice and fire in her eyes.

A chuckle came from the man again as he looked around the room, admiring the look of the place. Finally, he brought his attention back on to the still struggling Felicity Smoak, CEO of Palmer Tech. "Hmm… Maybe, maybe not."

He then pulled out a gun that had been hidden thanks to his jacket, even though he much more preferred the use of his magics instead of guns. But hey, he'd take what he could get. Felicity's eyes widened in shock and fear as he aimed it right at her. "No! You don't… You don't want to do this!" Pleaded the woman as she struggled even more to get free.

"Oh, I don't know. I think I do." The trigger was squeezed and a loud noise was heard as the gun was fired.

The bullet found its way right into Felicity's head and into the wall behind it. Causing blood and even brain matter to splatter everywhere. Her head slumped down lifelessy before the two men let go of her body, allowing it to crash to the ground in a bloody heap. "Ahh.. Such a mess. But whether or not Mr. Queen does find a way to expose my wife, it won't be with your help Miss Smoak." He told the body as he looked down at it with a smile on his face.

Pocketing the gun and pulling out a piece of paper, he left it on the coffee table as he and his men made their way out. Darhk took one last look at the formerly living Felicity Smoak and her lovely apartment. "Gentlemen, I'm sure we can all agree we're glad its not us who will have to clean this up." And with that, he left the apartment with the two chuckling henchmen not far behind.

The note itself went a little something like this.

Dropped by for Tea and conversation,

sorry I wasn't able to speak with you while

I was here. But business calls I'm afraid.

Your friend, Damien.

Author's Note: So yeah, that happened. As I could really see him doing that when he's done playing around with Team Arrow and decides to get real serious. And before any of you go all 'Oh! But he can't survive without her!' Try and remember that he did in fact do so for YEARS and will continue to do so even after her death.
