When they'd returned to the party, Oliver and Laurel decided that in order to make their cover was more convincing, that they might as well take advantage of the excuse John had provided them with.
Anyways, by the time they finally came out, Laurel found her father interrogating people at the party.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Laurel asked, playing dumb.
"Adam Hunt was attacked earlier tonight by the Black Canary and a new partner of her's in green and since his building is right across the street this place, we're just checking out to see if anyone here saw anything." Quentin explained and Laurel nodded.
"Detective Lance, it's good to see you again." Oliver said, holding out his hand to Quentin, who shook it.
"You to son. Take good care of Laurel and try not to get killed again." Quentin said and Oliver chuckled.
"I'll do my best." Oliver said.
"Anyways, did either of you see anything outside?" Quentin asked.
"Sorry dad, but we actually just finished having some private time." Laurel said.
"I don't need to know any more than that." Quentin said and Laurel chuckled at her father's reaction.
"Detective Lance, you're more than welcome to ask around if anyone saw anything, but this is still a private party." Oliver said.
"Relax, I think we're done here anyways, you guys enjoy your party." Quentin said as he led his cops out.
The next morning at CNRI, Laurel found herself fielding calls from clients in her case regarding Adam Hunt, all of them saying that the money Hunt had stolen from them had just been magically returned to them.
"I'd recommend not questioning it or telling anyone and just be grateful." Laurel said as she ended the call as her friend Joanna walked up to her.
"I just got a call from one of our clients against Adam Hunt saying that they just got their money back. I guess the Black Canary came through again." Joanna said and Laurel smiled.
"Yeah, but I think that she had some help this time." Laurel said.
"Huh, I guess this city can't have too many guardian angels." Joanna said, shrugging.
"Yeah, now, let's get back to work." Laurel said and Joanna nodded.
Oliver and John were working on getting the foundry set up.
"So, in this universe, your ex-wife is dating Laurel's ex-boyfriend?" John asked.
"Yeah, trust me, I was shocked to. But now I'm even more concerned about what will happen if our Felicity joins us here, since what if she doesn't share her doppelganger's feelings for Tommy?" Oliver asked.
"Look man, that's just something that we'll have to worry about if it actually happens." John said.
"I know, but still." Oliver said.
"On a different subject, how did it feel to be back in the game? After all, even before you died you weren't exactly out in the field." John said.
"Speaking of which, we need to start tracking Ricardo Diaz, take him out before he even has a chance to do any real damage." Oliver said.
"On that much we agree." John said.
"What do you guys agree on?" Laurel asked as she entered the foundry with Roy.
"Taking out Ricardo Diaz. He's the one who put me in jail, broke up the team, took over the city and put a beat down on Roy. We need to stop him before he has a chance to even begin planning it." Oliver said.
"I can behind that." Roy said.
"Oh, by the way, John, Roy, I need you guys to give me your suit measurement, since Felicity and I are taking a girls weekend in Central City, so while we're there I'm going to give Cisco the suit measurements and also any design ideas you guys have." Laurel said and John and Roy both nodded.
"You got it Laurel." John said.
"I've already given you mine." Roy said and Laurel nodded.
"You gonna see your mom while you're out there?" Oliver asked.
"Yep." Laurel said simply.
"Well have fun, I'll take care of the city while you're gone." Oliver promised her.
"You'd better." Laurel said as she kissed him before she and Roy began helping them set up the Foundry.
"You know, say what you want about Felicity, but she certainly knew how to make this place efficiently. I mean no offense Oliver, but she's the one who turned this place into a successful crime fighting cave." Roy said.
"Agreed, but we can't recruit her yet. I want to see if her counterpart from Earth One shows up here." Oliver said and Roy nodded.
