Oliver approached the garage that he knew was the hidden headquarters of the Star City Bratva as Alexei Leonov came out to greet him.

"Oliver Queen, it has been a long time." Alexei said and Oliver nodded.

"It has. I haven't really had need of your services until now." Oliver said.

"What can I do for you?" Alexei asked.

"You can tell me what you need me to do in order for you to do what I ask without asking questions." Oliver said and Alexei nodded.

"Very well. Follow me." Alexei said and Oliver nodded as he followed him inside the garage.

"Who is this?" Oliver asked as Alexei showed him to where the Bratva had a man tied up and covered with a hood.

"Someone who was sent to us by Anatoly Knyazev himself to deal with." Alexei said.

"Translation, Anatoly wanted me to deal with him. Must be a pretty important thug." Oliver said as Leonov removed the hood to reveal a bloodied man.

"Who are you and did you do to piss off the Pakhan enough to have him send you here, for me to deal with?" Oliver asked.

"It does not matter. The no asking questions policy goes both ways." Alexei said.

"If I'm going to kill this guy, I'd like to know why." Oliver said.

"If you want me to do what you ask without questions, you'll kill this man without asking any of your own. You can ask the Pakhan later. You two are friends no?" Alexei said and Oliver growled.

"Fine, but put the hood back on him. I don't want him to see my face." Oliver said and Alexei nodded as he placed the hood back on the man's face. Oliver knew what he had to do as he used a familiar technique to snuff that guy out.

"There, now it's your turn." Oliver said.

"A deal is a deal. What do you need me to do?" Alexei asked.

"Stardust. I want to know where I can find the supplier." Oliver said.

"I will see what I can do." Alexei said.

"Don't screw with me, or else I'll make sure you face Anatoly for it." Oliver said.

"I would not dare to mess with a Bratva Captain, especially one in such high standing with the Pakhan. I still don't understand how you won such favor with him." Alexei said.

"I saved his life and made it possible for him to become Pakhan. He probably trusts me more than any other captain." Oliver said and Alexei nodded.

"Very well." Alexei said.

"You know how to reach me. And I'll do you a favor and dispose of this body for you." Oliver said and Alexei nodded as he walked away and Oliver looked after the man distrustfully.

"We'll see about this Alexei." Oliver said as he lugged the corpse into the trunk of his car.

As soon as he arrived at the bunker, Oliver decided to confirm Alexei's story.

"Hello?" a familiar voice said.

"Anatoly, it's been awhile." Oliver said.

"Oliver Queen, my favorite american, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Anatoly said.

"I need to get confirmation on something Alexei Leonov said." Oliver said.

"Really, and what is that?" Anatoly asked.

"Did you send a man here for me to kill?" Oliver asked.

"No, of course not. Why would I send a man to America to be killed when I have plenty of men here who can do that. Why would Leonov lie about that?" Anatoly asked.

"Because in return for doing this dirty work, I asked him to do something for me without asking questions." Oliver said.

"He would not dare betray you. I will personally come to deal with him and then deliver on what you asked of him if he does not." Anatoly said.

"Thank you." Oliver said as he hung up and then moved to revive and then knock out the man, whoever he was.

"Need to arrange a new identity for this guy." Oliver said to himself as he moved to drive to Argus so they could arrange that.
