After the eventful Christmas evening that saw the "greatest gladiator match in the history of the world" and the return of an enemy of Superman, there have been some ups and downs in Silverstone City. Iris West exposed Malcolm Merlyn as the copycat archer who killed Mayor Altman to frame The Arrow. Malcolm Merlyn disappeared following the reveal, while his son, Tommy, was taken in by the Queen Family. The Flash managed to convince the public that Killer Frost, a metahuman who bailed John Corben, is the culprit of the bombing.

With his name cleared and his sacrifice revealed by the Flash, The Arrow is being praised as a hero. As for Oliver Queen, he was announced deceased, being one of the unfortunate souls to lose their lives during the Doomsday attack. Once again, Thea, Moira, and Tommy are spiraling into depression and grief. No one took the tragedy worse than Laurel Lance. She refused to speak to anyone and spent most of her days alone, crying. Worse, she started drinking to cope with her grief, much to the dismay of her friends and family.


The Arrow's funeral took place at the last of the year at Silverstone Park. In honor of the Emerald Archer, the park has been renamed "Heroes Park". The coffin has been buried in front of a statue of The Arrow. Many citizens of Silverstone City showed up. Flash and Supergirl were asked to give speeches.

Flash said, "The Hood... The Arrow... has been an inspiration to me. Without him, I would never be wearing this suit. He was doing so much good for this city and he didn't care what the people think about him. He's no vigilante. He's a hero. I was foolish to ever doubt him. If I have to look for one positive in this horrible tragedy, it would that he gave his life so that I could live. I will honor his memory by fighting to save this city. He didn't fail this city, and I won't either."

Supergirl said, "The Arrow and I have never crossed paths until that tragic day. For months, I saw him the way most of you did. A vigiliante. A brute. A criminal. I was wrong to ever think like that. His methods may have been questionable, but what matters is that he gets results. In the brief time we knew each other, I finally understood. He no tyrant with axe to grind. He's a man who fights for his city, to return it to its glory days."


On that same day, Oliver Queen's funeral took place at the Queen Mansion. The coffin at Heroes Park was empty, because Oliver Queen's body had been buried by the grave carved with his real name. Laurel didn't attend the funeral because she didn't want to be around anyone.

After the funeral, Moira, Thea, and Tommy stayed for the burial of the coffin. Barry and Kara watched from the distance.

"We should've told everyone," said Kara.

"I wish, but Laurel didn't want us to," said Barry.

"So, we're just gonna let people remember Oliver as a womanizer and a party boy?" questioned Kara.

"I know," replied Barry. He agreed with Kara that Oliver deserved to be remembered as a hero. "But at least the people know The Arrow is a hero, and that's good enough for me."

"The Arrow's secret identity isn't the only thing you decided to hide from the public," said Kara.

"I know that everything Caitlin did was horrible, but I'm not giving up on her yet," said Barry. "Exposing her, turning her into Public Enemy #1, is not gonna help her open her eyes."

"I hope you're right," said Kara. "Because the next time she kills someone, I'm gonna stop her, with or without your support."

"Just, please, try not to punch her at school," said Barry.

"No promises," replied Kara, rolling her eyes. "So, it's just the two of us now, huh?"

"It's always been the two of us," said Barry. "I just wish it could've been three."

"I'll miss him, too, Barry," said Kara.

The two looked into each other's eyes. Kara leans in and kisses Barry on the cheek as an act of comfort.

Unbeknownst to the both of them, there was someone watching them. It was Caitlin. She had been keeping an eye on Barry in case he plans to expose the true identity of Killer Frost. He hasn't. She knew why. She knows that he believes he can save her. The thought mildly amuses her.

"See you in school, Flash," she said.


After Thea, Moira, and Tommy each grabbed their handful of soil and dropped them in the hole, they left. After they did, someone else showed up. It was Laurel. She did attend the funeral, but she kept her distance. She was just waiting for everyone to leave.

"Hey, Ollie," she started. "I can't believe this is happening again. Last year, we buried two empty coffins. Everyone thought that I felt hard-hearted towards you, but the truth is that I wanted to cry. I didn't know why. After what happened with Sara, I couldn't understand. Now, I do. Ever since you came back, there has been something inside me that I've been fighting, and I did't know what it is. I just felt like an idiot for not realizing it sooner... realizing that... I still love you. Now, it's too late. I mean, I know that I still have Tommy, but... that kiss. I can never tell him. I know you want me to move on with him, to be happy, but I don't know if that's possible now."

Laurel cried as she spoke. She wiped her tears with a napkin, but that didn't stop them from flowing. When she first lost Oliver, she was indecisive about how she feels. Now, she feels like the world had just ended. She grabs a handful of soil and drops it on the coffin in the hole.


After the coffin was buried and everyone went to sleep, no one noticed an intruder in the premises. The intruder was female, 18 years old, and wore a mask that resembles the flag of Japan. She walked towards the grave of Oliver Queen.

"Hello, old friend," she said. "Time to wake up again."

I'm sure you can guess who visited Oliver's grave. Well, that's the end of "Arrow V Flash". We'll be returning to school in the next chapter.
