The Bunker, Star City.

It's been two hours since Damien Darhk and his wife were arrested following the shocking video of Quentin's dying declaration that was posted on Social media and yet it felt like they lost than won. They all have been emotionally affected by the war against Darhk, some more than others.

Oliver, Diggle, Felicity and Thea were gathered around the table pondering about where do they go next. Laurel still hadn't returned. "You ok?" Oliver asked Diggle.

Diggle shook his head slowly. He wasn't, not by a mile. "Not really. I told Lyla the truth about Andy."

Oliver wasn't surprised. He would've done it sooner or later because the guilt was eating him alive. "How did she take it?" He inquired wondering how the ARGUS director reacted.

"She's a soldier. She understood." Diggle replied. "But I don't and I don't think I ever will."

"What are you gonna do?" Oliver asked him.

Diggle sighed. "Take some time away from this team. Away from this city. Figuring it out where I went off track and how to get back on."

"John I've never done this without you. You always kept me in line." Oliver admitted.

Diggle chuckled, smiling faintly. "Oliver I don't know if you've been watching lately but it's the other way around, man."

Respecting his wishes, Oliver shook Diggle's hand firmly and then Diggle left the bunker but not before Felicity hugged him tightly, whispering 'be careful' to his ear.

"I hate to be the bearer of even more bad news but I'm leaving too." Felicity announced her departure much to the Queens' shock.

"You are?" Thea said, surprised.

Felicity nodded getting up from her seat. "I'm heading back to Vegas tomorrow with Mom. After everything with Darhk, my paralysis, the break up, Quentin's death and losing my position as the CEO of Palmer Tech. I... need some time to think about where did I go wrong and how do I recover. I just can't do it here in Star City."

Oliver nodded in understanding as he hugged her, harboring no ill will towards her. "Well, when you do decide to come back, remember, you'll always have a place here on this team." He reassured his ex fianceé.

"Thank you, Oliver. And I'm sorry for how I reacted when I found out about William. By the way the loft is yours." Felicity told him as she too left the bunker. Then it were two.

2147

Kasina Conglomerate.

The Team had traveled 287 years into the future. 2147 to be exact. Rip told them that in two Savage was supposed to attend a shareholders meeting in Kasina, a Eastern European nation that was come to be the foothold of Savage's empire in 20 years time. by attending the meeting they can learn how Savage became the World ruler and prevent it. But there was a problem and the problem was in the form of Mick Rory who was still being held at the Brigade.

"Are you sure about this, Buck?" Sara asked Bucky as she put on her grey wool jacket. "I don't like leaving you with Mick alone."

Bucky nodded as he tried to reassure the college dropout. "If I can endure three years in Siberian winter, then I can handle Mick. If it's true what Rip said, that this is the way to stop Savage from taking over the world, then we should take that chance. But someone needs an eye on Mick so who better than the man who's already had the experience of being someone's puppet."
