"Hey, Speedy, I'd ask how you're doing but I think I know the answer." Oliver said as he sat down across from her in the bunker.

"We're gonna get Roy back." Oliver promised her.

"You don't know that Ollie." Thea said.

"Yes I do. I mean, I never thought that we'd see Laurel, our Laurel, again, and yet here she is. And we are going to get Roy back. I promise you. And when we do, not if, when, I think you should go with him." Oliver said.

"Where?" Thea asked.

"Wherever he's going. I mean, I- Thea, I'd miss you like-like crazy, but you said that you haven't been the same without him, so maybe you shouldn't be without him." Oliver said.

"You really think I should go?" Thea asked.

"I don't want you to go, obviously, but you saw what having Felicity in my life has done for me. You deserve that same kind of happiness, Speedy, wherever it is." Oliver said.

"What about you?" Thea asked.

"What?" Oliver asked.

"Laurel, you have a second with her, why don't you take it?" Thea asked.

"Like I keep telling everyone, it's too soon for me to start dating again. As much as I want to pursue something with Laurel, it just doesn't feel right yet." Oliver said and Thea nodded as suddenly, she remembered something.

"I forgot this in all the rush that followed my first encounter with Roy in 3 years and the car chase." Thea said.

"Forgot what?" Oliver asked.

"When I was cutting Roy free, I planted a tracker on him." Thea said.

"I guess you're not as rusty as I thought." Oliver said with a grin.

"And I can't believe that you thought I was rusty." Thea said.

"How did it feel to be back out there tonight?" Oliver asked her curiously.

"I have to admit, I did miss that. Putting that hood back on, it actually helped me fill that void in my life that I didn't even realize was there." Thea said.

"Sounds like this comeback might not be temporary." Oliver said.

"I'm not saying that I'm coming back full time, but it was nice being out there again." Thea said with a smile.

"Despite my worrying, it was good to have you back. It almost felt like old times." Oliver said.

"Well, once Laurel gets back into shape, maybe it can be." Thea said and Oliver smiled as they went over to wear Alena was working to access the tracker Thea planted on Roy.


"Shift sergeant was definitely in on it. Look at this. Diaz has got his fingers in deep." Dinah said as she showed Quentin a file as they heard the door open.

"Hey, is now a bad time?" Laurel asked as she entered the apartment.

"That depends, can you avoid kicking Dinah's ass?" Quentin asked.

"Relax, while I do intend on kicking her ass, along with the asses of her cohorts, I'm not in any condition to do that tonight." Laurel assured her as she walked in.

"So, you're Laurel." Dinah said as she saw Laurel enter the apartment.

"Yep, and I believe I owe you this." Laurel said as she then proceeded to slug Dinah.

"What the hell?" Dinah asked.

"That is for everything you've done to dishonor my mantle. Which I am taking back, so find a new codename." Laurel said.

"Dinah, you can't deny you didn't have that coming." Quentin said, not at all having any problems with what Laurel had just done.

"Never said I didn't." Dinah said as she wiped some blood away from her mouth.

"Anyways, I did some digging of my own and I don't think that the SCPD is the only organization within the city's government that Diaz has his fingers in." Laurel said.

"What makes you say that?" Quentin asked.

"Well, for starters, Roy. We couldn't find Roy so there's no way the DA's office should've been able to or even know that he was still alive, I mean, dad you know how well Roy covered his tracks." Laurel said.

"Yeah, though he shouldn't have had to, since I should've known that someone was setting Oliver up for those killings." Quentin said.

"Hey, you were in a bad place after I told you the truth about Sara far later than I should have and Ra's took advantage of that and manipulated you." Laurel said.

"Still, anyways, you think that Diaz has members of the DA's office on his payroll?" Dinah asked.

"I'm sure of it. What I'm not sure of is how far the corruption goes." Laurel said.

"Hey, just out of curiosity, why aren't you in the bunker?" Dinah asked.

"Apparently Thea forgot that she placed a tracker on Roy and they got a location on him and since I'm not ready to get in the field yet, I thought I'd make myself useful elsewhere." Laurel said.

"I'm gonna go talk to my team. I'll be back soon." Dinah said.

"I hope you have a new name picked out, since Black Canary is no longer available for you." Laurel said, knowing where Dinah was going.
