Leaving to fight Ra's on a mountaintop, going undercover with the league of assassins, dating the huntress...
What are you doing?
Oh... I am just listing all of the terrible ideas you've had over the past 3 years, of which throwing in with Damien Darhk has got to be the worst.
I am not throwing in with Damien Darhk. I am using him to get at H.I.V.E.
Isn't Lance already our man on the inside?
Lance has lost Darhk's trust, making this the only way.
To get yourself killed. You remember the last time you tried to take down an evil organization from the inside?
This is different.
Why? Because you'd be doing it as Oliver Queen?
Yup.
What about your mayoral campaign? You cannot be an effective candidate for Mayor and Darhk's undercover stooge.
Taking down Darhk is more important, especially now that we know he has Andy under his thumb.
First, there is a whole long list of things that we don't know about Andy. Second, you didn't decide to run for Mayor to take down Darhk. You did it to give the city something the Green Arrow can't give them– hope. Inspiration. Don't lose sight of that, not even for John.
