Ararat Park Hyatt

Park, Suite, 1 King bed

She looked out the window on to Red Square, taking a sip of her wine. She walked away from the computer, then walked over to the table and sat her wine glass down on it. She walked over to the door and opened it "Hello Mother." she said. Miranda Tate also known as Talia al Ghul walked into the room, Felicity shut the door and locked the dead bolt. Then she turned and faced her mother, "I heard that you and your father had a fight." Miranda said in her clipped Arabic accent, Felicity nodded "Him and I are too much alike, I believe." Felicity said. Miranda sat down her purse " Yes and you are also like my father. You would make a great leader. " Miranda said, Felicity sighed "Mother, I don't want to be heir. Let Auntie Nyssa take over the league. She wants it more." Felicity said. Miranda sighed at Felicity's response, "Then she is going to have to start liking men. Father will want the bloodline carry on. Or at least tolerate them in bed." Miranda said. "Mother." Felicity said looking at her and saw a slight smirk on Miranda's face. "Why are you here in Russia?" Miranda asked Felicity thought about what she wanted to say. "I want to spend time with you." Felicity said, Miranda tilted her head. "No, really why are you here?", Felicity sighed "What did you do to Jason?" Felicity asked. "Aww, you want information." Miranda said, Felicity nodded. "I dumped him in the Lazarus Pit." Miranda stated with a straight face. Felicity eyes went wide " Why would you do that?" Felicity asked in a broken voice. "Because you and your Father loved him. And the Joker should've never killed him. It was the logical choice." Miranda told her. "Where is he?" Felicity asked, " Some of my men are training him to control the bloodlust before I allow him anywhere near you." Miranda stated. "He won't hurt me." Felicity stated with confidence. Miranda just looked at her shook her head "This is not up to debat, let's go to dinner." Miranda said grabbing her purse, then she grabbed Felicity's arm and they left the hotel room.

Solntsevskaya Bratva Eats there

Felicity stirred her Borscht, while her Mother eat a Salted Herring salad. Felicity felt like this restaurant felt off, like the place was dangerous. "Smile my Habibti, there is nothing to free here." Her mother said. Felicity just took a sip of her warm tea and scanned the room. A man in a nice suit brown hair, and beard walked over with two other men to their table. Felicity tensed ready to flee, but her Mother held up her hand, her Mother turned in her seat and looked at the approaching men. "Talia al Ghul pleasure to see you." the man in the suit said in a Russian accent. Talia smiled " Anatoli Knyazev." Talia said, Felicity was still looking at the men with Anatoli, "What brings you to Russia Talia?" Anatoli asked looking at her then at Felicity. Talia smiled "My daughter Amira and myself are here on business. There was a miscommunication that needs to be rectify." Talia said in sharp tone from her irritation from the miscommunication. Anatoli held out his hand to Felicity, she took it and they shook " It is really lovely to meet you Amira." Anatoli said. Felicity smiled "Like wise." Felicity said with a slight Arabic accent, they let go of each other's hands, "I will leave to ladies to your dinner." Anatoli said and they left. Felicity looked at her Mother for answers, " Anatoli Knyazev the head of the Solntsevskaya Bratva or just Bratva. There is a rumor that there is an American Captain in the Bratva." Talia said. Felicity nodded then went back to her dinner knowing tonight is going to be a long night.

Red Square

11:30Pm

Felicity felt someone following her from the restaurant, she had a feeling that it was the Bratva. She stopped at the mouth of the alley way and waited, the two men from the restaurant were standing in front of her. " He wants to talk to you." one said she nodded and got into the car that pulled up. Once the door was closed they stared to move, Anatoli handed her a photo, she took it and saw that it was a picture of her and Oliver. She handed it back "What do you want?" she asked, "How do you know him?" He asked. She sighed " I work for his company, I wanted a somewhat normal life and he sucked me in to his not so normal life. No he does not know." she told him. Anatoli smiled " I like you, you spunky like your Mother." he commented. Then his face got serious, "I liked to make you a member of the Bratva. To show good faith and for you to keep eye on my American friend." he told her. "Why should I keep an eye on him, he can do that himself." she countered . Anatoli laughed at that "You have not met the Oliver I know. " he said. She smirked at that, then she nodded agreeing with him. "I don't have to get a tattoo do I?' she asked, he shook his head no, then handed her a necklace with a pendent on it. "One someone sees it that know what the Bratva is they will know that you are an enforcer." Anatoli explained. She nodded, then put the necklace on " Where is my American friend?" he asked as the car pulled up to her hotel. She ignored the fact he knew where she was staying and answered him " He is back on Lian Yu. Punishing himself." She opened the car door " Do you plan on getting him to come back?" he asked, she got out of the car, before she shut the door she looked at him " I guess now I am." she responded shutting the door as she heard him laugh. She watched the car drive away, then she headed back to her hotel room "I have a lot of work to do." she said closing her door behind her.
