.006 - here's a billionaire brat

[greenarrowed]

Really, if you're from Starling City, you know who I am and if you don't, then I don't really want to talk to you.

Sorry.

[Private to Alex]

Get me off this boat.

What's going on with Mom?

[withasouvenir]

Um, she's sort of the reason dad is dead. Jesus, I knew you were a jerk but this is ridiculous. People died, what the hell is wrong with you?

[greenarrowed]

What?

[That doesn't make sense. He's the reason Dad is dead but he can't say that.]

Thea, this isn't funny.

[withasouvenir]

Yeah, it's really not. Why are you acting like this?

[She is progressively getting more angry/hysterical/scared, because her brother can be a butthead but not like this, not when Tommy...]

[greenarrowed]

[OH MY GOD TOMMY ;;]

I have no idea what you're talking about. The last time I saw you, you yelled at me cause I threw that idiot kid out of your room.

[withasouvenir]

[At first she thinks he means Roy and she's about to get all defensive about her man but then it clicks -- ew, Shane -- and she speeds right into freaked out, her voice a quiet little rasp.]

That was Christmas.

[greenarrowed]

Yeah. It was.

What's really going on, Thea? What does Mom have to do with Dad's death?

[withasouvenir]

She... Mom and Tommy's dad were in this thing, group, and Dad, Dad didn't like what they were doing and then you guys went on the boat and...

[and boom.]

Ollie, they blew up the Glades.

[greenarrowed]

[Tommy's dad?

Wait, was the Queen's Gambit sabotaged?]

Are you okay?

[withasouvenir]

No! I am freaking out.

There's... something else.

[greenarrowed]

What?

[withasouvenir]

[This is the hardest thing she has ever done. She is still freaking out, and she is just beyond confused and she sounds so close to tears. This is so impossible. Does he have amnesia? And where is he? She needs her big brother, he is all the family she has. Him and Walter. She's done with Moira.]

It's... [She swallows hard.] It's Tommy.

[greenarrowed]

Is he--

[She doesn't have to say it. He's hurt, at the very least but it's probably more if Tommy was working for him and his nightclub, it's in the Glades. He could have been there when the neighborhood got blown up.]

Listen to me, it's going to be alright. I'm coming home and everything will be fine.

[withasouvenir]

It's not going to be alright, where are you?

[greenarrowed]

It's-- [hard to explain, he's technically dead]

A ship.

[withasouvenir]

You're on a ship.

[She's not freaking out anymore, success! But she sounds like she wants to strangle him.]

[greenarrowed]

[To be fair, Oliver doesn't like it either.]

I was kidnapped.

[withasouvenir]

[That sound? That's Thea's phone clattering to the ground out of shock and the sound of her feet pattering to the door and screaming for Walter to no avail followed by a very quiet 'shit!' as she picks up the phone again.]

Where are you? Who took you? I'll call Walter and he'll get the cops and we'll find you, I promise.

[greenarrowed]

[Hilariously... Oliver doesn't even know Walter gets kidnapped. His life is such a struggle.]

I don't know if you'll be able to find where I'm at.

[withasouvenir]

Ollie.

[He is just really not helping with reassuring her that he is not being held by Somalian pirates and is going to wind up stranded on another island for five years and she'll have lost him, again.]

What do I do?

[greenarrowed]

[He... doesn't what to tell her, what to do.]

I'm coming back, Thea, I promise you that.

[withasouvenir]

Don't lie to me, please. 'cause I can't... I can't do this again if you're not coming back.

[It's not kind, the way Thea implies that he is lying to her. That's what he does -- she'd be stupid to think he didn't lie to her too. That was the Queen legacy, lies. But, god, all she wants is her brother back.]

[greenarrowed]

I'm not lying. Not about this. I am coming back.

[withasouvenir]

If you don't... I'm kicking your ass. [She knocked that guy out with the bottle, she can totally kick Oliver's butt.]

[greenarrowed]

[She totally could, he'd never be able to use his mad arrow skillz against her.]

I don't doubt that, speedy.
