Artemis handed Roy a cookie as they both sat in the backseat of Ollie's car. Both GA and Dinah glanced back at the two every few minutes through the rear-view mirror.

Artemis held her bag of cookies in her lap, they were from the nurse in the emergency room. That same nurse and two others giggled and cooed as Roy and Artemis drew arrows, bats, and fish on the young blonde's new, bright green cast.

Oliver pulled up to the sidewalk in front of Shining Star Park. Dinah got out first, Picking up Artemis from the back seat while Roy crawled out after them. Oliver drove away to find a parking spot.

As Dinah lead the kids to the toddler's playground, Roy dashed off to climb on the monkey bars. The den mother sighed but smiled and set down Artemis in the sandbox. She took the empty bag from her and kissed her forehead, "Be careful, don't get any sand in your cast."

"Okay, Birdy." Artemis began building a castle of sand while Dinah went to throw the bag away.

In no time at all, the youngest archer had finished a pretty good castle. She smiled and looked around for Dinah or Oliver, neither of whom had returned yet. She frowned for a moment and stared at her castle, waiting.

Another young blond came over, about Roy's age (Roy's current age) with tanned skin like her own. She smiled at him, "Hi."

The boy grimaced. "You have cooties. Get out of my sandbox, girl." He spat the word as an insult, and Artemis took it as such, sticking her tongue out at him.

"No." She replied defiantly. "Free sand."

He balled his fists, and kicked down her castle. Artemis teared up, then gasped. Roy came barreling forward and his fist connected with the blond boy's face. Roy had seen everything from his position atop the monkey bars.

His face was as red as his hair, and he stood in front of Artemis.

"Connor!" a woman cried and ran to the boy, who now lay on his back, hands over his face as blood dripped onto his brown and green hoodie.

Oliver and Dinah raced to the two with worried expressions. Once Ollie saw Roy in front of Arty, he understood. He looked to the other family, watching as a familiar woman picked up a little boy. "Sandra...?"

She looked up, surprised at first, then angry. "Shoulda figured these were your brats, Oliver."

Dinah watched them talk as she picked up Artemis, then Roy. "Look, Sandra was it? I'm sorry for whatever just happened here, and I'm sorry your son's hurt..." her words faded away as the boy, Connor, turned to face the archers. He looked like a little, asian version of Oliver.

Oliver leaned in, and Connor turned away a bit into his mother's blouse. "Hey little guy, I'm sorry about your nose, we'll go take you to see a doctor in a minute, but first I have a question for you, is that okay?"

Connor nodded, and sniffed, then winced, as did Ollie. The bearded blond spoke softly, "How old are you?"

"Five" the younger blond held up a bloodied hand with five fingers to emphasize. Sandra stiffened when Ollie asked his question, then she turned away.

"I have to take him to the ER, bye Mr. Queen."

"Sandra wait." He put a hand on her shoulder and turned her back around, "We broke up five years ago. You disappeared. Is he...?" Oliver Queen let the question hang in the air.

Sandra's face softened. She looked down to Connor, no longer able to meet Oliver's eyes. "Yes, Ollie. He's yours."

While Oliver was awestruck, now holding Connor as they walked to the car, Dinah was furious. Oliver told her they couldn't have a baby because it would be too dangerous. That having a family right now wouldn't be good for anyone. And on top of that, he'd cheated on her. They'd been together since high school, never separated until once when all the heroines had been called away. That happened five years ago.

As she stormed to the car and put Roy and Artemis into the backseat, Oliver was over at Sandra's car, saying goodbye for now.

The ride home was quiet in the front seat, in the back Roy and Artemis were sleeping, Roy's snores sounding louder than they really were. Oliver was smiling from ear to ear, and Dinah's expression remained unchanged since Ollie started the car, emotionless, staring straight ahead.

They were all jostled when they entered the intersection were blindsided by a station wagon. While the adults were disoriented, Artemis was crying in her carseat, but Roy was still fast asleep.

Glass was shattered all around, inside and outside the cars. Oliver looked up, groaning. "Dinah...Pretty Bird, you okay?"

The heroine blinked awake and tried to move, and hissed at the pain of the car door's plastic and metal digging into the right side of her body. "Yeah, but I can't move. Artemis? Roy?"

The little girl sniffed, "Owie has an owie."

"Yes honey, I know. We'll get out of here in a minute and make the owie go away, okay sweetheart?" Dinah said in the calmest voice she could muster up. She turned to Ollie, "Call Clark, he can get us out of here with Conner's help."

Oliver nodded and fished in his pocket for his cell phone, then called up the man of steel. Even Dinah could hear the frantic words of the boy scout, "Oliver! They're after the kids! Conner's gone, Humanite took him. You have to stay safe-"

GA didn't hear the rest as the roof was suddenly ripped off their car. They all screamed, as did the passersby. Above them stood the magic might, Black Adam. "Hello~" he said sweetly, picking up Roy, who was just now waking up, and the sobbing Artemis, then flew off.
