"Wait, why would you have Thea's money on your tablet?" asked Roy, trying to understand the complicated game that his pseudo-sister and the sperm donor of his ex-girlfriend were playing.

Felicity answered him by speaking to Malcolm.

"Here is what will happen. For every day that you don't turn yourself in to the League, I will drain one of Thea's accounts. And while you were good at helping her hide your blood money, I did manage to find enough to put a sizeable roadblock in Thea's plans for her future." Felicity abandoned the casual air with which she was speaking and finally let all of her anger show through.

"I will make you watch as little by little her life goes to the dumps. First, suppliers. Next, maybe the club itself. Then her fancy apartment. Everything she has will be gone. Then, I'll get rid of your properties." She saw Malcolm's eyebrows go up. "Yup. I found the other properties that you had under aliases. ALL of them."

Slowly walking closer to Malcolm, Felicity continued. "I will make you watch as her life is ruined. As she loses everything she ever cared about. And when you finally stand, completely alone, unable to do anything but watch her crumble, you'll know it was all your fault. Just like Tommy. Just like Robert Queen. Just like the hundreds of people who died in the quake. You will have no one to blame but yourself." Felicity ended her speech just a foot away from Malcolm, eyes bursting with fury.

Malcolm swallowed, realizing just how truly important Felicity was to this team. "Well," he said, picking up his coat. "It seems you have won this round, Ms. Smoak." He began walking out of the Foundry. "But I may not be so civil the next time we see each other." With that, Malcolm Merlyn left behind a very incomplete team Arrow.

But what he didn't know, what no one but Felicity knew, was that there was a certain young female club owner who was sitting in her chair in her office, work forgotten, in shock at what she had just seen and heard on her computer.
