"Are you sure you don't want me to help?" Laurel asked as she watched her boyfriend bring in at least 5 boxes by himself to their new penthouse apartment.
"No, considering everything I've gone through over the past 10 years, carrying boxes in by myself is easy." Oliver said.
"Fair point." Laurel said.
"Besides, at least now I know that if I ever get tired of being a superhero, I have a future in the moving business." Oliver said with a laugh.
"Why don't you focus on being the Green Arrow and the Mayor of Star City for right now." Laurel said as Oliver put the stuff down.
"Is that the last of it?" Laurel asked.
"I think so. I didn't have much stuff at the mansion and Thea promised to call if she finds any of your stuff. Now we just have to unpack." Oliver said.
"Remind me again how we're able to afford such a sweet place to live." Laurel asked.
"We can't, I can. Selling the mansion made me about 10 million dollars, plus my bank accounts that Felicity returned, made paying the rent of this place easy." Oliver said.
"So basically, you're paying for everything." Laurel said.
"Just until you start working again." Oliver said.
"Good, because I want this relationship to be an equal partnership. I don't want to be one of those women who relies on their man to provide everything." Laurel said.
"Trust me, if there's one thing we both know about you, it's that you're definitely not like most other women." Oliver said with a grin.
"Right, most other women would be terrified at the prospect of being the Black Canary and don't come as a metahuman with a sonic scream." Laurel said.
"True, but that's not what I meant." Oliver said.
"Than what did you mean?" Laurel asked.
"What I meant is that not many other women possess the same level of strength, confidence, bravery, resolve, determination, willpower and what is perhaps the most amazing of them all, the very rare ability to be able to put up with me that you do. That's a combination that no other woman, not even my ex-fiance has. That's why I fell in love with you all over again." Oliver said.
"You're right about putting up with you. I'm pretty sure that the only women alive with that capacity are me and Thea. Obviously Felicity doesn't have that to same degree as us otherwise she never would've let you go." Laurel said with a smile as she got up and walked into his arms.
"You know, as much as I'm loving the furniture from the mansion, I think we should refurbish this place. Truly make it our own." Oliver said, since their living room was filled with furniture from the mansion.
"Agreed, but let's keep the bed. After all, that thing holds some real memories for us." Laurel said.
"I doubt anyone would want that thing considering how well worn it is." Oliver said.
"That's one way to describe it." Laurel said.
"That's the most polite way to describe it." Oliver said when both of their phones went.
"Text from Felicity." Oliver said.
"I got it to. Apparently she's got a lead on from some anonymous source about where to find Church. Call Roy. John's still in the bunker." Oliver said and Laurel nodded.
"Thea, what are you doing here? I thought you retired?" Oliver asked as his sister when he and Laurel entered the bunker to find Thea with John and Roy.
"I did, but now, just like everyone else, I changed my mind." Thea said.
"Well you're sidelined for tonight since Roy's getting his suit back." Oliver said.
"Seriously Ollie?" Thea asked.
"Sorry Thea, but it was technically made for Roy." Oliver said.
"Besides, no offense, but red is not your color. I'm thinking you'd look better in yellow." Laurel said.
Thea actually stopped to think about that and said "True, but we don't have anything in yellow."
"Talk to Cisco, see if he's willing to help you out with that. After all, he made Ollie's suit, Dig's suit, my new suit, Barry's suit, Jessie's suit and Wally's suit." Laurel said.
"What about Blizzard's suit?" John asked.
"I'm honestly not even sure if they have a suit yet. My point is that if anyone can make a sweet ass super suit, it's Cisco Ramon." Laurel said.
Thea nodded.
"Okay now that we've got that settled, everyone else, let's suit up." Oliver said.
Church was on the run from Green arrow and Spartan.
"I have missed this." Green Arrow said.
"I thought you went after these guys every night?" Spartan asked.
"I meant doing it with a team. Speaking of which, Arsenal, Black Canary, you're up." Green Arrow said into his earbud.
"On it. Let's hope these earbuds Cisco sent over did the trick." Arsenal said.
"Shut up before I kill you myself." Black Canary said.
"If you guys are done bickering, Church is almost to the exit, if he gets there he's home free." Overwatch said to them all.
"No way. I've been tracking that son of a bitch for months. We're taking him down tonight." Green Arrow said.
Church had nearly made it to his escape when suddenly a red arrow landed right between his feet and Arsenal and Black Canary slid down the cable, cutting off his escape.
"Tobias Church. You have failed this city." Green Arrow said.
"So what are you going to do, throw me in jail. My boys will have me out of there in no time." Church said.
"Is that so. Black Canary, tell us what we wanna hear." Green Arrow said.
"If you insist." Black Canary said as she let her Canary Cry loose, causing Church to drop his weapon and fall to the ground, clutching his ears.
"Let's wrap this up now. I want to drop this lowlife off at the SCPD before it gets too light out." Green Arrow said.
Spartan pulled out the cuffs, but before he could put them on Church, blood began coming out of his mouth before he fell to the ground to reveal a throwing star in his back.
"Look out." Arsenal said, shoving Black Canary to the ground to avoid another one.
Green Arrow raised his bow towards the source to reveal a man dressed in garb similar to the Arrow Suit, only his was all black and the mask covered his entire face.
"Who are you?" Green Arrow asked.
"I am Prometheus." the man said as he set off a smoke bomb and disappeared.
"We better get out of here before the SCPD arrives." Spartan said.
"Let's go." Green Arrow said as the team moved out.
