Ellie Bishop: Yeah, I love Frank to, my seventh favorite MCU character, even If this isn't that Frank Castle. Completely agree, Diggle likes to pretend like he has some moral high ground while Frank is honest about who and what he is.

Agent N: Glad you enjoyed it. Why thank you. Yep, he made a very big mistake. RIP Logan Williams.

Guest 2.0: Indeed, very sad.

Guest 1: Yep, RIP.

Guest 2: RIP Logan Williams indeed. Glad you enjoyed it. I've heard people try to claim Punisher and Vigilante are the same and my response s always 'what show are you watching'. No kidding on Vigilante. At least in season five, he was an interesting character but season six ruined him.

Night

Oliver and Laurel made their way into Lyla's office, seeing Diggle already there, waiting with Lyla.

"Laurel," Lyla said surprised as she saw her.

"I was with him when he got your call. I can wait outside," Laurel offered, although her face showed exactly how she felt about that.

"No, you should probably be here for this. It involves you to," Lyla said as she got up, wondering how she was going to break the news.

"Don't look at me, she wouldn't tell me until you got here," Diggle said as Oliver glanced at him questioningly.

"Alright Lyla, you said you had something on the leak and I wouldn't like it. I'm all ears," Oliver said and Lyla sighed.

"You've been betrayed Oliver. My operatives worked to find something, anything they could on the leak. Eventually, they traced it back to a cyber terrorist group known as Helix," Lyla said and the trio of vigilantes exchanged confused looks.

"Helix ring a bell for either of you?" Laurel asked and the two men shook their heads.

"Never heard of it," Diggle said.

"You wouldn't have, they don't make the news. That is by design, so they can keep the world unaware of them. Eventually, I traced the leak to a series of text messages by someone going by Alena to someone using the penname Ghost Fox Goddess, asking for something to bring down the new female vigilante," Lyla said, looking at Laurel apologetically.

"So this was because of me?" Laurel asked, guilt settling in her stomach.

"This wasn't you, this was Helix…and Felicity," Lyla said, taking them all back.

"What?" Oliver asked after a stunned moment of silence.

"I researched Ghost Fox Goddess; it was Felicity's hacker codename in college," Lyla explained.

"No. I know Felicity has her issues with Laurel, but this…I don't believe this, I won't," Diggle said in denial.

"From the texts, it seems like Felicity didn't intend for it to go this far. She wanted leverage against Laurel, I'm guessing to get you to leave town. Helix acted of their own volition when they leaked this video to the press," Lyla explained as Oliver stared blankly.

"Show me the texts," Oliver demanded and Diggle looked at him sharply.

"Oliver, you don't really believe this," Diggle said, although he wasn't sure if it was directed at Oliver or himself.

"I don't know what I believe, but I need to know what I'm dealing with," Oliver said stonily as Lyla handed him a tablet.

"She-she's not capable of something like this," Diggle said although it sounded hollow even to his own ears.

"Under the right circumstances, anyone is capable of just about anything," Laurel said grimly.

Earth-2, Laurel's apartment

Morning

"So, how is it having Robert back?" Laurel asked as she tried to fill the awkward silence with a woman she had once thought of as a second mother but now felt like a stranger.

"It's a struggle. He's not the same man he was, but we're trying," Moira said with the same fake smile she used to flash at uninteresting house guests.

"Can I get you a drink?" Laurel asked politely, wondering why it is Moira seemed so on edge.

"Tea would be lovely," Moira said.

Laurel nodded and walked into the kitchen, eager to escape the strange awkwardness, although she was still curious about why Moira was here. As she reached into the cabinet for tea bags, she suddenly felt something stab her neck. Her body seemed to go into shock and she collapsed but someone caught her as she was lowered to the floor. Dazed, Laurel stared up at Moira's tear filled eyes.

"I'm sorry Laurel," Moira said in a quivering voice, her eyes filled with guilt. "But they threatened Thea if I didn't do this. I'm so sorry."

Before Laurel could respond, it all went black.

Star City

Now

Vigilante was on a rooftop, walking on it as he thought of his next move. Suddenly, his hair stood on end and he jumped back, just barely avoiding the gun fire. Vigilante then stood up, returning fire as Frank jumped down, the pair of them taking cover behind separate points.

"I'm gonna make you die!" Frank snarled.

"What's the difference between you and me?" Vigilante demanded.

"I don't kill innocent people!" Frank shouted.

"There are no innocents!" Vigilante snarled as he jumped up, opening fire at where Frank was.

Frank dropped the gun and groaned in pain, seemingly hurt. Vigilante stalked over to behind the vent but found no Frank, just a gun.

Suddenly, Frank jumped behind him, whirling a knife. Frank kicked the gun out of Vigilante's hand and tried to cut him but the suit's protective material was too tough for the knife to cut through. Frank abandoned the knife and the pair began exchanging blows. Frank threw the madman to the ground and put him in a headlock.

"Let's see what you look like without that mask," Frank sneered, grabbing Vigilante's visor and yanking it off.

However, before Frank could get a good look, there was a small explosion, sending Frank off the roof. Vigilante gasped for breath, his helmet on the ground. He grabbed his helmet and walked over to the side of the roof, looking down. There was no sign of Frank, but Floyd Lawton had been in this for too long to believe that Frank was dead.

Arrow Lair

Not long after

Felicity was at the computer as the elevator doors opened up. She looked up as Oliver, Laurel, and Diggle walked in. Judging by the looks on their faces, they weren't happy.

"I'm trying to track Vigilante, but he changes his supplier every few weeks, so it's a dead end," Felicity said but the cold looks on Oliver and Laurel's faces and the hesitant one on Diggle's did not change. "What?"

Oliver threw down the tablet Lyla had given him onto the desk. Felicity looked down and paled as she saw the exchange of texts between herself and Alena.

"You did this," Oliver said his voice filled with barely restrained fury.

"I didn't mean for it to go this far, I didn't mean for you to get caught up in this," Felicity tried to explain.

As Oliver tried to restrain himself from strangling her, Diggle closes his eyes, the last bit of hope that this had all been a misunderstanding dying.

"No, you just hated me so much you were willing to ask people you knew nothing about for help in getting something to use against me," Laurel noted and Felicity glared at her.

"You killed Billy!" she sneered.

"Because Prometheus played us," Oliver said when Laurel didn't defend herself. "And she's right. You asked for help from a bunch of cyberterrorists. You walked into the lion's den and you're surprised that the lion bites?"

"I-I didn't mean for any of this to happen Oliver, I swear," Felicity said pleadingly.

"I know…but it doesn't change anything. You broke my trust once and I let you back in, decided to give you a chance to earn it back while I kept an eye on you. I won't make the same mistake twice," Oliver said.

The elevator doors opened up and Rick Flag walked off.

"This her?" Rick asked his eyes on Felicity.

"Yes," Oliver said as Felicity was confused on what is going on.

"Turn around and put your hands behind your back," Rick ordered to Felicity's confused.

"What?"

"Turn around and put your hands behind your back or I will do it for you," Rick ordered.

Felicity, her mind whirling, still didn't obey and Rick grabbed her by the arm roughly and slammed her against the computer, pulling out handcuffs and putting them on her.

"Felicity Smoak, you are guilty of conspiracy and association with the cyberterrorist group known as Helix. You will be put into Argus custody until Director Michaels can determine what we will do with you," Rick told her firmly.

Felicity was in complete shock as Rick began moving her towards the elevator. She pleadingly looked towards Diggle for help but he looked away, unable to watch. As the door closed behind them, Laurel was surprised. She'd expected to feel vindicated but now…she didn't feel victorious at all. She just felt sad and maybe a little guilty that she had unintentionally driven Felicity to this.

Same time

Lyla was in her office, staring at the texts, trying to imagine how Felicity could have been so blinded by hate that she would throw in with Helix when her cell phone rang.

"Director Michaels," Lyla answered.

"It's me. I had another run in with Vigilante," Frank told her.

"From your tone, I take it he's not dead," Lyla noted.

"Tried to get his mask off so I could kill him, it's lined with explosives that sent me off the roof, would have killed me if I hadn't landed on a tarp. That would've been nice to know by the way," Frank said sarcastically.

"Well, I think it's pretty clear Vigilante is too big a threat for even you to beat one on one," Lyla said, the wheels in her mind turning.

"So what are you thinking?" Frank asked.

"I'm thinking you need help to take Vigilante down. I think it's time to bring in the Green Arrow," Lyla told him.

Some of you probably guessed that Felicity had something to do with the leak. The show has shown multiple times that when she gets worked up emotionally about things, she does not think through the consequences of her actions and is often blinded by personal vendettas, as seen with Chase and Diaz. I don't think it's much of a stretch to say that Felicity could reach out to Helix for help in trying to take down Laurel and it could blow up in her face.

Yep, Vigilante is Deadshot, yes, the Earth-1 Deadshot. I wanted Vigilante to be someone connected to one of the main characters, not to mention that Vigilante being Vince was just stupid and made Dinah into an unlikeable character who deserves to burn in Hell.
