One of the funniest things to me about Oliver having been in the Russian mob is that he didnt even really choose to leave. He got kicked out.

Twice.

PREVIEW: we’re the restless hearted (not the chained and bound)

Trying to escape her past, Felicity Smoak finds herself in high demand of the Bratva where the highest bidder is one Oliver Queen. In an instant, the world she was trying to escape is replaced with one far more twisted, and the services that Oliver requires may get her into more trouble than she's prepared to sign up for - but now she has been claimed as his property, will leaving the Queen household ever be possible?

Bratva! Oliver’s first order of business would be banning anyone from selling Thea drugs and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong

Excerpt:

Oliver must've broken a dozen laws as he sped on his Ducati and weaved in and out of traffic. He didn't give a damn; all he could focus on was Felicity. When he'd heard Isabel's voice instead of Felicity's on the phone, his heart had nearly stopped. It made no sense to Oliver. He'd barely spoken to Isabel in months, so it seemed extreme that she would do such a thing as kidnapping Felicity and holding her hostage. When he'd demanded to know why Isabel had taken her, all she would say was that Felicity owed the Bratva some answers. Oliver had tried to explain that Felicity had no part in whatever ludicrous plot Isabel was referring to, but it was no use.

"I want to talk to her," he'd ordered. He had to hear her voice and make sure it wasn't a ruse.

Isabel had put Felicity on the phone only briefly. "Oliver?" Felicity had said. She was mostly calm, but he'd still heard the underlying distress.

"It's okay." He'd made sure his voice was strong but comforting. "I'm coming to get you, sweetheart. Don't worry."

"Oliver, be careful. She—"

"Isn't that sweet?" Isabel had sarcastically interjected. "Come alone to the casino in South End. Be here in less than thirty minutes, Oliver, otherwise I can't promise your precious Felicity will be returned in the exact way she was found."

"Isabel, I swear to God if you hurt her—" She'd cut the call before Oliver could even finish. The fury rose up in him so fiercely, he'd nearly crushed the phone in his hand.

Darhk had been watching him the whole time listening in. Upon hearing that his daughter had been taken, his eyes had blazed and he'd declared he'd go with Oliver to retrieve Felicity. Oliver had strongly refused and argued that he could handle the Bratva and Isabel. He didn't want the situation to escalate, and Felicity to accidentally get caught in the crosshairs. The Bratva was very touchy about outsiders invading their territory and that included Darhk and his soldiers. In order to save Felicity, he had to embody his persona as Anatoly's nephew. The brotherhood both feared and revered him, which would work to his advantage.

On the way over, he'd tried calling Diggle. His partner didn't answer. It was as Oliver expected. Isabel must've had him taken care of, too, because no way would Felicity be in his situation if Dig could protect her. Oliver let out a string of curses under his breath. Their focus had been on protecting her from Waller and her goons, but he never could've anticipated his own side going after her. On the drive over, Oliver did his best to tamp down the icy cold fear that threatened to consume him. He couldn't think about how scared Felicity must be or what Isabel could be doing to her. He had to focus on his plan to get to her and how to deal with Isabel when he did.

His Ducati came to a screeching halt in front of the inconspicuous building. Oliver removed his helmet and hopped off his bike. His gun, which was loaded with tranquilizers was already in his hand. Since this was the brotherhood he was dealing with, he couldn't shoot and kill them without more serious ramifications resulting. He did, however, have his usual fully-loaded glock on him just in case. The front door was guarded by two burly men. Oliver stoically strode toward them.

"Mr. Knyazev," the oldest of the pair greeted. "We've been informed to—" He didn't get to finish. Oliver had struck quicker than the guy could react and knocked him out. The other man swiftly followed. He wasn't going to chance these men coming to Isabel's aid...

If you knew what it was or what is coming, you will beg Kovar to spare you.

[lyricalarrow]

Think you two could look like Bratva?

Uh-oh. Looks like Mom's taking the kids on an undercover mission behind Dad's back. Dad's gonna be mad. (X)

Coming into the second half of the season, we felt a very strong impulse to basically bring the whole General Walker storyline from the beginning of the year to a conclusion. There’s a reason why we returned Diggle to prison and it’s all to set up what will be a climactic episode. We’ve dedicated basically a whole episode to resolving the General Walker storyline. What’s nice about that episode, that’s episode 12, is that it ties into Oliver’s Russia storyline, it ties into Felicity’s storyline, and it even echoes back to the Diggle storyline with his brother last season. So a lot of threads get tied together and some threads get tied up in that 12th episode.
