After Diaz was turned over to the FBI, Oliver held a press conference to address the recent actions that have gone on in the city.

"Thank you all for coming out here today. I feel like I should be giving you an explanation of some of the events that have transpired in our city over the past few days." Oliver said and all the press let him continue.

Oliver smiled as he began, "This city has been held hostage by a crime lord by the name of Ricardo Diaz for the past few months. However, last night I received word from the FBI that the Green Arrow apprehended him and provided them with a copy of the list of every member of the city's government that was on Ricardo Diaz's payroll and the FBI are currently rounding them up as we speak. Our city is finally free of the hold of that madman."

Everyone in attendance at the conference cheered.

"Also, in light of this action of the Green Arrow and his team, I am revoking this city's anti-vigilante referendum, since while vigilantism may not be tolerated, these individuals are not merely vigilantes, they are heroes and they have become a bit of a necessary presence, since they've helped save this city from not only Ricardo Diaz, but threats even bigger than him and since the police force is going to be short handed as the number of corrupt officers are arrested and replaced, they will be more necessary now than ever." Oliver said.


Oliver was now at Starling General, where he entered a room to find Laurel sitting at her father's bedside.

"Hey, how you feeling?" Oliver asked his deputy mayor.

"Doctor says a few more days and I'll good to go. Just in time to walk my baby girl down the aisle." Quentin assured him.

"Although the doctor recommended putting him on medical leave at City Hall to make sure he recovers properly." Laurel said.

"Absolutely and Quentin, you're also done assisting the team in the field, since I'm not willing to risk your safety anymore than I already have. For once, put your own safety above this city's." Oliver said.

"That wasn't a suggestion was it?" Quentin said.

"No, that was an order coming from the mayor, your friend and your future son-in-law." Oliver said.

"Fine." Quentin said.

"Thank you. Now I have what's left of the SCPD on guard duty outside, so you should be safe." Oliver said and Quentin nodded.

"I'll see you back at home later." Laurel said as she kissed her fiance.

"See you then." Oliver said as he left.


Laurel was struggling to stay awake at her father's bedside, since she hadn't slept since her father had been brought into the hospital.

"When was the last time you slept in a bed?" Sara asked as she entered their father's hospital room.

"Sara, what are you doing here?" Laurel asked as she got up to greet her little sister.

"Oliver asked me to come here to make sure that his bride didn't sleep through the wedding by being sleep deprived." Sara said.

"I'm fine Sara." Laurel said, only to yawn.

"Go home and get some real sleep, I'll watch dad." Sara promised her.

"Thanks sis." Laurel said as she hugged her before walking out.


"It looks even worse in person." Laurel said as she, Oliver, Thea, Roy and John examined the ruins of their bunker.

"Like I said, all this stuff can be replaced, but the things that matter, our loved ones, they can't be. I'm already talking to Cisco about rebuilding this place even better than before and this time, you can all offer input." Oliver said as Dinah, Curtis and Rene entered the bunker.

"Wow, you guys can use our bunker for as long as you need." Rene offered.

"Thanks, but that's actually part of why I asked you guys to come here. Now that Diaz is dealt with, you guys need to decide whether or not you want to be a part of this team. John, Laurel, Thea and Roy have all made their loyalties to this team clear, proving to me that they can be trusted to have my back and each other's backs in the field. If you want to stay on this team, then it's an all or nothing deal. You leave and there's no coming back. So now, make that choice." Oliver said.

"The only reason I left is because you kicked me off because I blew the whistle on you to the FBI and I'm truly sorry about that. Look, when I rolled over on you last November, I was thinking about my kid, even though I knew it meant it'd take you away from yours. I'm really sorry." Rene said and Oliver smiled.

"Apology accepted. And look, I'm sorry if I made you feel like you couldn't come to me when Watson put you in that position. I'm very sorry for everything that happened afterwards." Oliver said.

"I feel like I should be the one apologizing to you for that. I'm sorry about Felicity." Rene said.

"Like I said, apology accepted, so do you want back in?" Oliver asked.

"I do." Rene said as they shook hands.

"Welcome back." Oliver said as he then looked towards Curtis and Dinah.

"I'm in. With Felicity gone and Alena leaving, you guys could use some tech help, so I'll come back to." Curtis said and Oliver nodded before turning to Dinah.

"Well Dinah, what'll it be?" Oliver asked.

"Screw it, I'm in to and this time, it's for good." Dinah said and Oliver nodded.

"Well then, I guess Team Arrow is back in business for good." Oliver said.
