Otherwise known as after "Tribute!"

***

barkandbite: Imma steal Winn's line

barkandbite: What a bitch

rushsawyer: Well then

barkandbite: I promise it's not about you

moralcompass: Believe me, this woman makes you look like a saint

rushsawyer: You mean I'm not normally one?

fast&furious: *snickers*

allfairplay: You walked right into that one

oliverking: Seriously, though

oliverking: This woman is stubborn

spacepapabear: For those of us who do not live on your Earth

spacepapabear: What woman are we discussing here

angelpuppydanvers: Oh, no woman in particular

smoakandmirrors: Just the woman who's taking the lead in investigating Oliver being the Green Arrow

spartacus: Who also happens to be FBI

agentdamnvers: What

queenoftheboard: Wow

thirdtimesthecharm: Yeah, even after Felicity and Curtis got Channel 52 news to say the image of Oliver as the Green Arrow was doctored, she's still going to investigate

supersfriend: Damn

alwaysawinner: She's as stubborn as Alex

agentdamnvers: I'm gonna take that as a compliment

alwaysawinner: It was totally a compliment

oliverking: Can we not discuss the investigation into me being a vigilante here

secondisthebest: You sound like you've been here before

oliverking: I have been

oliverking: Quentin was the lead investigator

moralcompass: My opinion has changed, as you can see

oliverking: For which I am forever grateful for

fast&furious: Aw

oliverking: Shut up, Speedy

oliverking: Like I said

oliverking: New topic, please

angelpuppydanvers: I got to meet an old friend of Oliver's today

oliverking: OK, not the topic I was expecting to come up

agentdamnvers: Who's this new friend?

spartacus: Oliver's Bratva buddy is back in town

alwaysawinner: The Russian mob?

supersfriend: Do we want to know how you're friends with him?

oliverking: It's a long story that involves Lian Yu

queenoftheboard: So we're avoiding that story, then

oliverking: Please do

oliverking: Slade won't need to be reminded when he comes back

merlynthemagician: So this was your second year, then

oliverking: Way to go, Malcolm

oliverking: Actually, part of it includes year five, too

oliverking: And I do not need to be reminded of Talia al Ghul right now, thank you very much

rushsawyer: Talkative today much, Oliver?

oliverking: It's been a long few days

angelpuppydanvers: You have no idea how big of a mess Anatoli caused

oliverking: It would have been a much bigger mess if Kara hadn't been there to save the delegation leader

oliverking: Thanks, angel

angelpuppydanvers: <3

barkandbite: Can we go one day without having you two flirting over the chat

merlynthemagician: Why do you ask questions you already know the answer to

secondisthebest: ^^^

barkandbite: Why do you two always gang up on everybody else

fast&furious: I think it's some redeemed villains' club thing

queenoftheboard: Redeemed villains' club

fast&furious: The alternative is that they're bored without Slade

agentdamnvers: Anyone want to choose option C: both answers are correct?

rushsawyer: I'll take that

supersfriend: Ditto

alwaysawinner: ^^^

secondisthebest: Feeling the love, everyone

smoakandmirrors: Papa Bear's been quiet for a while

moralcompass: That name has really stuck, hasn't it

alwaysawinner: I'm so proud

smoakandmirrors: Seriously, though, where is he

queenoftheboard: Doesn't say he's in the chat anymore

thirdtimesthecharm: Guys, he could just be at the D.E.O.

alwaysawinner: I'm sitting at my computer at the D.E.O. right now

alwaysawinner: He's not here

allfairplay: So you're at work and you're in the chatroom

alwaysawinner: In my defense, I've finished what I've needed to do for the day

rushsawyer: That's better than me

secondisthebest: Maggie Sawyer is in the chatroom while working?

rushsawyer: Ride or die

agentdamnvers: How lucky am I

queenoftheboard: I can get away with it since I'm my own boss

oliverking: Agreed

queenoftheboard: So I think J'onn also has the right to get on and off this as he pleases

agentdamnvers: Sucking it up to the Martian, are you?

queenoftheboard: I'm just keeping in mind that he can read minds

alwaysawinner: I still need to find a world's best boss mug

barkandbite: I'm getting the feeling I'll need to pick some up, too

moralcompass: Smart

fast&furious: Oh, Rene's in trouble now

barkandbite: Why am I always the victim

merlynthemagician: Because you keep offering wonderful opportunities to be one

secondisthebest: ^^^

barkandbite: Again

barkandbite: The ganging up

barkandbite: Why

merlynthemagician: We're both supposed to be dead

secondisthebest: It's boring having to be dead

secondisthebest: So we make do with what we've got

allfairplay: And that's making fun of Rene?

merlynthemagician: It's not hard when he keeps setting himself up to be

barkandbite: Ouch

supersfriend: Another Merlyn trait

supersfriend: Savagery

fast&furious: I like this version of my father much better than the one before Lian Yu

secondisthebest: It's just compliments all over the place today when did we get so sappy

spartacus: When Oliver and Kara got together

queenoftheboard: Truer words have never been spoken

angelpuppydanvers: Wow

oliverking: I don't know if I should be insulted or not

fast&furious: Just take it as a compliment, you two

thirdtimesthecharm: You know

thirdtimesthecharm: I can't really argue with that, actually

allfairplay: I can't, either

smoakandmirrors: Well played, Dig

spartacus: One does one's humble best

***

Because if Malcolm can't join forces with Slade, he'll make do with Laurel.
