After Laurel came home from work and Oliver brought her up to speed on John, Laurel had a reasonably mixed opinion about that.

"So, John, Oliver is giving you a second chance on the team?" Laurel asked her old friend.

"Yeah and Laurel, I get it if you have a problem with that, since it sounds like Oliver told you about went down between us." John said.

"You mean how you turned your back on him when he needed you the most, yeah, I heard about that. And while I'm willing to give you another chance, just keep in mind that it's going to be hard for me to balance that man with the man I worked with for two years." Laurel said and John nodded.

"I understand that Laurel, believe me I do. Oh Oliver, did you tell her about?" John asked.

"My dad being dead on Earth One, yeah, that came up and before you ask, no he did not take the place of his doppelganger on this earth, so we need to avoid that sort of talk around him." Laurel said and John nodded.


Tommy was currently standing up in his bedroom in his apartment, putting his shirt back on.

"That was fun." a female voice said from behind him and Tommy turned to see Felicity Smoak come out his bathroom and walked up to him.

"Yes it was and I owed you for ignoring your call earlier." Tommy said as he kissed her.

"Why did you ignore my call earlier?" Felicity asked.

"I was out with Oliver this morning when you called, taking a look at how the city has changed while he was gone, I didn't think he needed to listen to me flirt with you over the phone." Tommy said.

"Tommy, we've been dating for 2 years and you still haven't introduced me to your friends. Why?" Felicity asked.

"I don't know. But Oliver's letting me throw him a welcome back party tomorrow night and I promise I will introduce you to both of them then. I promise." Tommy said.

"You better Mr. Merlyn." Felicity said playfully and Tommy pretended to look offended.

"Mr. Merlyn, now that's what you call me at work when I'm your boss." Tommy said, since Felicity worked for Merlyn Global.

"Yes, but that is the only time when you are the boss of me." Felicity said and Tommy smiled as he kissed her again, though after Felicity turned around, Tommy couldn't help a bit of nervousness at the thought of Felicity meeting Oliver, since from what Laurel told him, they had almost gotten married and now, even though he knew that Oliver was in love with Laurel, he couldn't help but be a bit worried that Felicity might fall in love with him all over again.


"So, let me get this straight, Sara the only person I knew who was even more reckless and impulsive than Oliver, is now a government agent?" John asked.

"Yes, but I'm not exactly sure I buy the whole FBI thing." Laurel said.

"What do you mean?" Oliver asked.

"Sara's often secretive and I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI was a cover for some other work." Laurel said.

"What, like Argus?" John asked and Laurel shook her head.

"As far as I can tell, Argus was shut down 6 years ago when it was found to be a corrupt organization led by Amanda Waller. Those who weren't guilty of corruption were let go, but Argus is gone." Laurel said.

"Wow." Oliver said and Laurel nodded.

"Tell me about it. Though I admit it is nice not having to worry about Argus interference." Laurel said.

"But they were a useful ally." John said.

"Well I'm sure that the president put together a new organization even more off the books than the Argus to replace it, but we'll find out soon enough if we draw that sort of attention to ourselves." Oliver said as there was a knock on the door.

"Are you expecting someone?" Oliver asked Laurel, who shook her head no.

"John, get ready to shoot." Oliver said as he went to look out the peephole before signaling to John to stand down before opening the door.

"Can I help you?" Oliver asked the young man standing on the other side of the door.

"Yeah, I was wondering if you knew where I could find Slade Wilson. I owe him a punch in the face among other things." Roy Harper said with a grin and Oliver smiled at him.

"Come on in Roy." Oliver said, letting him in.

"Roy." John asked as he and Laurel got up to greet him.

"It's me Dig. It's so good to see you both again." Roy said.

"Roy, what happened, not that it's not good to see you, but I thought you were with Thea on Earth one." Oliver asked.

"I was, until the Thanatos Guild caught up to us and I gave my life to help Thea and Nyssa get to safety." Roy said.

"Well, at least you'll have another chance with her." Oliver said.

"I'm not so sure about that, considering this Thea doesn't even know I exist." Roy said.

"Well, in the meantime, you've still got us." Laurel said and Roy smiled.

"Yeah, and I guess I can live with that." Roy said and Oliver chuckled.

"Welcome back to the family and the team Roy." Oliver said.
