It had taken Iris a lot of thought. It had taken her a lot of standing in front of the mirror, asking herself if she was good enough to do it.

It had also taken some arguing with her parents on her not to hang things up "for her own good". She couldn't just quit. Cait wouldn't have quit. Cerdian wouldn't have quit. Jai wouldn't have quit.

Besides, technically she was giving it up. She was giving up the old and trading it in for the new.

Someone had to do it. Someone had to step up.

And that someone was her. At least, she sure hoped it was.

Iris stood in her room at Titans Tower, looking at herself in her new costume in the mirror for what seemed to be the hundredth time.

Impulse was gone. Kid Flash was back, again.

She just hoped she could do Jai proud.

It didn't take Keith long to make calls for a flight out of the country.  It was a private jet that his father owned.  His bags were on already, and Keith was just about to board.  But then, a hand gripped his shoulder.

"Keith Queen, you're under arrest for the murder of Robert Franklin Wells."

The rest of what was said to him fell on deaf ears.  He was in total shock.  How did they figure out it was him?  His identity was secret to the public, and he was positive nobody who knew he was Green Arrow would turn him in.  Would they?  There was the slightest nudge at the possibility that Robert had called it in, but Keith didn't stay on that for more than a second.  He couldn't believe Robert would get him arrested and unveil his secret identity to the public.

But man, that night turned to shit.

The next morning, Keith's face was on every news channel.  He was publicly revealed to be the Green Arrow, the man that murdered the Artist.

Rex has had quite a bit of time to think recently, with Mickey's passing, Cerdian's and Jai West's as well. His mom and step-father had been in bad shape at one point, too. His love for Hope is a bright point in his life, as is the amount of caring he has for his teammates, but one relationship above all was still in tatters and it was time for Rex to step up and fix it, before he lost it forever.

He dialed Nic's phone and hoped she was somewhere nearby.

"Hey, Pnnt. Um...it's me. I need you to come home right away. It's important." Rex says to her voice-mail.

Then he gets started on cooking the bacon. Lots of bacon.
