Now? [The Monitor nods] I thought I had more time.
[Oliver remembers his previous encounter with The Monitor]
The universe is a complex piece of machinery, and balance must be maintained. One change requires another. How do you propose I keep the balance?
Will you help me save Barry and Kara or not?
No. But I will give you the means to save them.
Tell me what you need in exchange.
Whatever the multiverse requires to survive the crisis that is looming. When it is time.
[Present day]
It's OK. So what bargain have I made? What does the Multiverse require?
You assist me as we seek to prevent the inevitable.
But that sounds impossible.
The multiverse is more complex than you could fathom
What are you not telling me?
I've seen your future, Oliver, inexorable and unavoidable. I have watched you die.
During this crisis?
I am truly sorry.
No. You are not taking him.
Felicity.
Oliver.
I am not here to bring harm to you or your daughter. Trust me, the world needs her.
You think that I'm just going to let you leave here with my husband's life?
This is bigger than us...than all of us.
Why does it always have to be you?
I cannot prevent his passing, but he can prevent the deaths of countless more, including you and your daughter. But he needs to come with me tonight.
