After much making out in the middle of the battlefield, followed by a night of intense passion back at their apartment (God, she'd missed being alive, not to mention Zach), Mia woke up early the following moment after her return from the grave and made her way to Star City General Hospital. Alive again or not, she was probably still HIV positive and would need to get back on her strict regimen of medication.

There was a lot of explaining to the doctors why someone who had been legally dead for the past few months was suddenly alive and kicking like nothing had happened. Mia filed out some forms for insurance, and then went through a series of various tests to see if everything was in order.

A couple of hours after her tests, the doctor came back into the room, a truly astounded look on his face as he stared at Mia's charts.

"Ms. Dearden, there were some...unusual results in your tests. We'd like to keep you under observation for a few days."

Mia nodded, wondering what could have possibly happened. Had something happened when she came back to trigger her HIV into full-blown AIDS? She didn't want to think about it.

Lian had been given the okay by Tim to return to Star City. Rather than going to the remains of Outsiders Headquarters, Lian went back to her apartment building, surprised to find the damage done to it repaired.

"I guess I really am getting my money's worth on this lease," she said to herself as she entered the building. She threw down her phone and keys, making her way straight to her bedroom, collapsing on her bed. She shut her eyes, trying to get some sleep.

She maybe only started to drift off when she heard a knock on the door. Grumbling a little, Lian rose from the bed, making her way to the door.

She opened the peephole, checking to see who was on the other side.

She couldn't believe her eyes.

Lian threw open the door, throwing her arms around the person on the other side.

"Daddy!"

Morgaine, to put it simply, was going to kill him. So would James.

His only advantage would be that his doppelganger would quite likely die first, when they realized that Damien had slipped away from them at some point.

For the first time in his life, Damien Wilson flew on a /commercial/ plane in /coach/. His mother would have a fit over that alone, but this mission was of the utmost importance. He did rented a car under an assumed name at Star City International airport and then drove through the streets to his destination. Damn, he hated American traffic laws. Passing by Outsiders HQ was surreal, knowing that any of them could be on the streets at any time. If they found him, they would probably see fit to kill him for the wounds he'd inflicted months ago.

He waits inside for her to return, hoping that she is still well.

Reporters lined up outside of the Gotham City Police Station, filming the transport of the Artist's body from the police station into a van.  The police officers were all grumbling about being caught off guard by the assault on their station.  The, finally, the Chief of Police stood up on his podium and made his broadcast announcement.

"Robert Franklin 'Frank' Wells, otherwise known as The Artist, was murdered last night in his cell.  He was recently brought in for a string of murders of multiple women, including the local crime fighter, Red Arrow.  We have identified the culprit of this murder.  He has strong ties to the Red Arrow and has been recently seen in Gotham.  The man who murdered Robert Wells is none other than the Green Arrow." 

The Chief of Police took that moment to hold up the large bag containing a bloodied green arrow, taken from the Artist's forehead.

"The Green Arrow is now a wanted criminal.  All who see him are advised to call the police so he can be brought in for his crime."

The cameras were turned away from the Chief of Police then, and each reporter put their own shocked responses and questions to the tail ends of their reports.  The news filled the television screens all across the United States.  Word was out on the Green Arrow.

Lian had found a charm in Cerdian's pocket when he died, along with a letter. In the letter, Cerdian explained that breaking the charm in her father's hospital room would help with him with his recovery, but he was a little fuzzy on the details.

Lian certainly wasn't going to turn down anything to help her dad. And she trusted Cerdian enough to know that it would work.

Lian stood in her father's room, one hand holding his, the other holding the charm that Cerdian gave her. She repeated the instructions that he gave her, hoping that it worked.

"Dad...if you can hear me, squeeze my hand. Just once."

She knew better. She should have known better. Now all the pieces were in her hands and she would rather throw them to the wind. She knew that knowing things could be useful and all she wanted to know is if she could trust Red Arrow the next time they worked together.

She hadn't meant to discover who everyone in the Arrow Family was. It made her feel ill knowing so much about them without knowing anything about herself. So she was angry at how noisy she had been and the fact if Mia, no Red Arrow, knew she might not get to have a friend.

It bothered her that it upset her so she went drinking. It was dumb and she could feel how easy it would be to start a fight. That was when a guy started trying to put the moves on her. His buddies had circled in and she knew that they were trouble.

So she got up off the bar stool and smiled sweetly before punching him across the jaw and whirling with so much danger to her movements to hit the other guys. She went fast and hard and they tried to hit her back. In five minutes they were all booted on their asses, Jane going more willingly because she wasn't going to hit people who didn't deserve it.

But she could feel them following her as she weaved to her car. So the fight started again when Jane got hit from behind and snarled, leaping at one of them with fire and anger to kick him in the teeth. Yeah this is going to be lovely. Someone should break this up before she does some real damage.

Roy's checked the brakes, and the tires, and the spare tire on the vehicle. He made sure all the packs had basic medical kits, that the tents were really good tents, and the flashlights were all new, with batteries to spare. He's made Lian go over the lists of essentials twice, and he's lost count of how many times he's lectured her about being in charge, and the responsibility that goes with it.

Because it's making him feel like Ollie, he'll be done now. Really. There's no more he could possibly check with her.

"You have the numbers to all the local ranger stations and the hospital, right?"
