Star City: 8:00 A.M

Crow Logan stared out the window of Artimes's Honda Accord; today he was meeting up with the Arrow family, which both excited and scared him. The reason he was so nervous was because of Lian, he was finally going to meet her again.

He was curious if this Lian was like his world's Lian. The girl he remembered had been sassy, strong, brave, and didn't take crap from anyone. A memory flashed in his mind: He was three years old playing hide and seek in the Titan Tower, June was it and was almost through with counting, and he had yet to find a hiding place. Looking around, he noticed the laundry room door. Smiling to himself, he quickly hurried inside, shutting the door behind him he backed up a little and was surprised when he backed into someone.

"Hey!" a feminine but childish voice cried. Turning around, Crow jumped back in surprise when Lian's angry face greeted him, "Li Li, what are you doing here," he asked? Lian huffed, "What do you think I'm doing here? I'm hiding," she said, annoyed.

Crow looked at her in surprise before he pouted, "But I want to hide in here," he said. Lian huffed again, "Well too bad, I was here first," she said. Crow looked upset, "But Li Li, June's almost done with counting, and I don't have anywhere else to hide," he said.

Lian rolled her eyes, "Well too bad, I was here first," she said, as she grabbed his arm and started pushing him out of the room. Crow being suborned, transformed into a kitten and planted his claws into the floor, "Please! Li Li, I'll be quiet," he said, pleading with her. Before Lian could respond June's voice called, "Ready or not, here I come!"

The redhead sighed, "Fine, but if I get caught I'm blaming you," she said, turning the lights off.

Crow smiled, in the end, neither of them had gotten caught tell the end of the game; afterwords, Lian had apologized for being snotty to him, good times. Sadly, that day had been one of the last carefree days of their childhood.

"Crow, are you alright?" Artemis said, looking at him concerned.

He nodded, "I'm fine Artemis, I just got caught up in remembering something. Anyway, thank you again for inviting me," he said. Artemis smiled, although she didn't entirely believe him, "No problem Crow, I'm sure you were getting sick being stuck in that tower," she said.

Crow nodded, "Believe it or not I was," he said, laughing a little. Artemis smiled, "Well after today I'm sure you'll be tired; I'm warning you my niece can be hyper," she said.

Crow laughed, "I can't wait," he said. Artemis laughed as she pulled into the drive-way, Will was waiting for them on the front porch. Will was the only member of the Arrow family Crow hadn't met since he hadn't been at the tower when he arrived.

Will Harper stood on the porch, curious to meet the newest member of the team; Artemis had explained that the teen was a dimensional traveler and that he had come from a world where his daughter was a teenager. To be honest, he wasn't sure how to feel about that, Lian was his baby girl and he didn't enjoy thinking of her grown-up fighting crime. If he had anything to say about it, she would never join the life of crime-fighting.

Crow got out of the car and stared at the man standing on the porch; it blew him away by how much this Roy/Will resembled his world's, Roy Harper. Unfortunately, his uncle had been killed in the Titan's day massacre. It was a loss Lian had never gotten over.

Artemis looked over at him as she shut the car door, "Don't worry Crow, Will won't bite," she said. He gave her a grateful smile, although he wasn't so sure about the biting part; his Uncle Roy had been just as feisty as his daughter when he'd been alive.

He followed Artemis to where Will was waiting for them. Being polite, he stuck out his hand for Will to shake, "Nice to meet you, sir," he said. Will gave him a friendly smile, "It's nice to meet you, Crow, Artemis told me all about you," he said.

Will's words didn't surprise him, gossip was common among the superhero community. Never the less he returned Will's smile with one of his own, "I hope she didn't tell you anything bad about me," he said.

The older man shook his head, "Nah, anyway why don't we go inside," he said, gesturing over his shoulder. Crow nodded and the three of them went inside. Once inside, the dimension traveler was taken aback by how comfy the home was, "You have a pleasant home, sir," he said.

Will smiled, "Why, thank you. I try to keep it neat but with a four-year-old, that's pretty much impossible," he said laughing. Crow smiled, he was eager to see Lian. It did not take long for his wish to come true.

"Daddy whose that," a little voice said, coming from the couch. Crow slowly turned around and there she was; all one hundred cm of her; she had brown hair, brown eyes and her skin was darker but it was her alright. "Lian," he thought sadly, as Lian's sad blue eyes flashed in his mind.

Will smiled at his daughter, "It's alright Lian, this is the new friend Aunt Arty has been talking about, why don't you come over and introduce yourself," he said. Lian's eyes lit up, and she excitedly ran up to Crow, "So you're Crow ugh? Aunty Art has been telling Daddy and me all about you," she said.

Artemis let out a laugh, "Lian sweety, you need to tell him your name," she said. Lian blushed, "Sorry, I'm Lian and I'm four," she said.

Crow stared at her for a moment before he smiled. He bent down, so he was at her level and put out his hand for her to shake, "It's nice to meet you, Lian, I'm Crow," he said. Lian smiled and shook his hand, "I'm like you Crow, for now on let's be friends," she said. The teen nodded, "I'd like that," he said raising himself off the floor.

He turned to look at Will and Artemis, "So? What are we doing today," he asked? Will smirked, "Well, since it's a Saturday and it's nice out. I was thinking of taking Lian to the Zoo. What do you think Crow, are you up for it," he asked?

Will smiled, "Great! but first let's have some breakfast," he said. Crow smiled and followed him into the kitchen, looking forward to the day's events.

Author's note: so the next chapter will cover the Zoo trip.
