Oliver Queen

"So, Morgan Edge is still a bastard?" Slade looked at Kara and Alex for clarification.

"YES!!!!"

"Complete bastard," Alex nodded, taking another sip of beer.

"Used chemicals to poison a pool, which in turn made the kids appear to have lead poisoning," Kara explained. "And then he tried to crash a plane with the same chemicals into the waterfront with Lena on board to make it look like it was her."

Slade shook his head in annoyance. "How is this man still walking around?"

"He was warned," Oliver said vaguely, taking a drink of his own.

"Let's just say he was paid a visit that night," Laurel winked.

"You guys better have," Thea rolled her eyes.

"Anything with Watson?" Malcolm turned to Laurel.

"No," Laurel shook her head. "Nothing since she interrogated Felicity. Which either means she's giving up – "

Quentin snorted, "Like that woman would give up."

"Or she's finding a way to go further," Oliver glowered in annoyance.

"I knew it was bad, but this bad?" Slade shook his head. "Kid, it's a good thing you put that up."

"No kidding," Oliver agreed.

"Well," Kara swung one leg up over the other. "I don't know about you guys, but I missed this. Never mind the field, this is what it means to be a family."

"I'll drink to that," Alex raised her beer.

"Cheers," Oliver agreed.

"Cheers," the others chimed in, the seven of them clinking their drinks together.

Oliver's phone ringing interrupted any further conversation, and Oliver frowned, pulling it out to hang up, only to straighten when he saw the Caller ID. He answered it, looking like he was expecting something. "Cisco," he greeted, making the others look at him in surprise. "What's up?" He paused for a moment, then blinked. "Really?" he smiled. "You're sure?" He listened for a while longer, then looked at the Danvers sisters. "Actually, they're both here, if you wanted to come over." Curiosity piqued, both Alex and Kara straightened as Oliver nodded. "At the base, then. Thanks, Cisco."

"What was that about?" Malcolm frowned.

"That was Cisco," Oliver went to his contacts list, finding the other members of the team. "He's bringing something back to Star City, which means when we're done here . . . " He looked up. "We're heading back to the base."

John Diggle

"The moment I hesitated, even as the flames grew closer . . . " Dig let out a heavy sigh, shaking his head. "That was my rock bottom." He looked up at Rene, Dinah, and Curtis, Felicity the only team member missing, as she was working on figuring out more stuff about hers and Curtis's company. "I should've told you all about the tremor from the beginning. I'm truly sorry I didn't."' "So you're saying the tremor started before Evelyn reappeared in Star City?" Rene asked, frowning.

"Yes," Dig nodded, standing up. "And that's why, Rene, I owe you the biggest apology of all. You should've known what was going on before we ever got to that bridge, man. My pride almost got you killed. I betrayed your trust, put your lives in danger. All I can ask is that you forgive me, but I understand if you can't."

"Well, getting shot wasn't great," Rene admitted. "But if I'm counting the times you've saved my life against the times you almost got me killed, you're still ahead."

Dig sighed in relief.

Sara looked over and noticed the uncomfortable looks on all the future people's faces.

Dig nodded gratefully, then Curtis stood up. "I, for one, am incredibly offended – "

"And you have every right to be, Curtis," Dig nodded.

"That you didn't come to me first for help treating you," Curtis finished, making Dig blink. "I mean, I created a chip to help a woman walk, people!"

"He's got a point, John," Dinah nodded. "It might be time to outsource this little problem."

"I wonder if Gideon would help," Sara said thoughtfully. "She did... regrow Snart's hand. Fixing nerves probably wouldn't be a big deal."

"She regrew whose hand?" Dark Archer said.

"Yeah," Dig nodded, then turned to Curtis. "Yeah."

"Outstanding," Curtis beamed, walking forward. "So have you already had an electromyogram?" He didn't give Dig a chance to answer. "Wait, what am I talking about? We need to start off with an NCV test first!"

"Curtis, it's been a long night," Dig sighed. "Is there any way we can do this in the morning?"

"Sure thing," Curtis smiled, nodding. "It would be my honor. It would be my pleasure."

Rene coughed into his fist. "Kiss ass!"

"How is that being a kiss ass?"

"How is it not?"

"What the – ?" Curtis sputtered, following after Rene as Dinah smirked. "I'm trying to – !"

Dig shook his head fondly, then turned as Dinah stood, turning to him. "You waiting on a special apology?" he asked. "Because you deserve one."

"No," Dinah shook her head. "I'm just waiting to make sure you're OK."

"Really?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Really," she nodded.

"Well, I'm gonna give you one anyway," Dig stated. "Dinah, I lied to you, and I'm sorry, but I'll make you one more promise: there'll be no more secrets between you and me."

Dinah nodded. "No more secrets," she agreed, turning and walking off. As she did, she took the matchbox from Vincent out of her jacket pocket, turning it over in her hand.

"What was that, hypocrite?" Black Siren said mockingly, making Dinah wince.

Dig watched her go, then turned to the Green Arrow suit on its mannequin, swallowing as he examined his trembling hand.

His musings were interrupted by the sound of a breach opening, and he spun around at the same time as Dinah ran back in. Cisco jumped out, carrying a duffel bag with him, and he smiled, pulling his goggles off. "Hey, guys!" he greeted, waving.

"Cisco?" Dig blinked. "What are you doing here?"

"Well," Cisco held up the bag, walking over and placing it on a table, just as Curtis and Rene ran back in. "Special delivery."

"Oliver just texted," Curtis held up his phone.

"Yeah, he wants everyone here," Rene nodded. "Must be important."

Dig's eyes went to the bag, then to an empty case nearby. "If that's what I think it is, it's very important."

Oliver Queen

"Cisco," Oliver nodded as the seven entered the Arrowcave, Cisco waiting with the rest of the team, Felicity in the process of pulling off her coat. "Thanks for coming."

"No problem," Cisco shook his head. "Kara, Alex, good to see you guys again."

"You, too," Alex smiled.

"What's going on?" Kara asked.

"Well, what's going on," Cisco rubbed his hands together, walking over to a case that was covered by a cloth. "I've got something I think you're going to like."

"Me?" Kara pointed to herself, confused.

"No," Cisco shook his head, smirking as he pulled the cloth off.

Everyone's eyes, except Oliver's, widened when they saw the suit contained in the glass case. "Is that – ?" Dinah whispered.

"Laurel's Black Canary suit," Malcolm breathed, shocked.

"Not anymore," Dig shook his head slowly.

Laurel's old suit was now sleeker, and the fishnet patterns were gone. The collar of the jacket was a turtleneck style, and the belt now had room for a gun on each thigh. The biggest change to the suit was the piping: it was now metallic grey at the top, fading to snow white, then gold, then bronze, and finally metallic red at the boots. "Did I do good?" Cisco asked Oliver.

Everyone was looking at the suit in shock. "It's gorgeous," Agent Danvers said, making Alex grin.

"Nice job Ramon," Harry said.

"You did amazing," Oliver smiled, nodding.

"Good," Cisco grinned.

"Cisco, this is incredible," Alex said in shock.

"I hope it is," Cisco told her. "Since it's yours."

Agent Danvers gasped, her jaw-dropping. "Wait... what?"

Alex's jaw dropped. "Get out!"

"Um, no, since I still haven't delivered the best parts yet," Cisco shook his head.

"Tell me he's joking," Alex turned to Oliver, eyes wide. "Tell me he is!"

"He's not," Oliver shook his head. "When I got to Earth-38 when Coville was a problem, I asked Winn for certain measurements on a flash drive. Before we left, he gave it to me. He gave me the measurements the D.E.O. used to make your suits there. I brought Laurel's suit with me to Central City and gave it and the measurements to Cisco. Laurel – Black Siren – told me about how you felt going into the field here, where you wouldn't be recognized, but you could be back on Earth-38." He nodded at the revised suit. "With this, now you won't be."

"But it's Laurel's suit," Alex insisted, shaking her head, tears in her eyes. "I can't take this!"

"We want you to, Alex," Dig told her.

"I asked all the team members who worked with Laurel before she died," Oliver told Alex. "Quentin, too. We all agreed you were the best person to receive it."

Agent Danvers was completely speechless. Kara and Winn ran over and hugged her gleefully.

"I've been pushed out of my own seat," Deathstroke said, from where he was sitting on the ground with Rose.

"Next time move!" Kara said.

"How was I supposed to know you were going to mob us?"

"Always assume I'm gonna hug everyone."

Alex stared at the suit – her suit – for another long moment before taking a deep breath. "Where's the cry?" she asked.

"Oh, it's not a Canary Cry anymore," Cisco shook his head, pulling out two cases. He turned the first around and opened it to reveal a sleek black and silver metal collar, which Alex reached out with a trembling hand to touch. "It's a Wolf Howl."

"What?" Alex asked, shocked.

"The belt," Kara whispered, stepping forward to take a closer look at the suit. "There's a howling wolf symbol on the buckle."

"Yeah," Cisco nodded. "Well, rumor has it you like dogs, and Black Dog didn't sound very intimidating. Besides, there's already a Wild Dog, so that's too consistent."

"Because I'm sure you had my name in mind when coming up with Alex's," Rene rolled his eyes.

"Black Wolf," Slade tried out, nodding. "It suits you, Alex."

Alex took a deep breath. "You're sure?"

"Yes," Oliver smiled. "We're sure."

Alex nodded, reaching out and pulling the case to her. "One more thing," Cisco smiled, turning to the other case. "The Canary Cry was something I made specifically for Laurel, so I wanted to make something for you, too."

"Cisco," Alex groaned, though she was smiling.

"I think you'll like these," Cisco winked, opening the other case.

Curious, the others gathered around, and Laurel tilted her head. "Brass knuckles," she identified.

"They're spiked," Curtis blinked.

"Like claws," Thea made the connection.

"Every wolf has its claws," Cisco nodded as Alex reached out to take one out. "Why shouldn't you?"

Alex slid them onto her fist, experimentally closing her hand. "These are beautiful," she whispered.

"You didn't have to do all that," Agent Danvers said to Cisco, who shook his head.

"I always do my best. I don't half-ass making suits," Cisco said.

"No, he makes a complete ass of himself," Harry said.

"Not what I was saying!" Cisco said.

"And the mask is just like Laurel's was," Cisco showed Alex the mask underneath the collar. "You won't be recognized, especially if you decide to do something with your hair or makeup or anything like that."

Alex blinked, sliding the knuckles off and placing it carefully back in its case. "I can't believe this," she whispered. "This is just . . . " She shook her head, overwhelmed, and turned to Oliver. "Thank you," she told him.

"Laurel told me she channeled her emotions into being the Black Canary," Oliver smiled. "I hope this gives you the chance to help channel your emotions into protecting National City."

Alex nodded, giving him a hug. "I'll make her proud," she whispered.

"Now I'm wishing we had brought the drinks here," Thea complained.

"Well," Felicity smirked, reaching into her bag and pulling out two bottles of champagne. "Will these work?"

"Hell yeah," Rene grinned.

"Cisco, this is amazing," Kara smiled at him. "Thank you for this."

"It was an honor," Cisco smiled back. "I was happy to do it."

Kara gave him a quick hug before bounding over to join Slade, Malcolm, and Laurel in getting champagne. "You outdid yourself, Cisco," Oliver smiled. "I know this means a lot to them."

"That was part of why I put everything into this," Cisco nodded, then tilted his head. "By the way, I couldn't help but notice you had two flash drives with you when you dropped them off."

"Well," Oliver looked over his shoulder before smirking. "It wouldn't do any good if either sister knew I had Winn give me another measurement that I needed to know."

Thea and several other woman shrieked, making all the males cover their ears.

"Jesus!"

"Loud!"

Cisco blinked once, twice, then grinned. "For real?" When Oliver smiled and nodded, Cisco laughed. "Good for you, man."

"Thanks," Oliver smiled.

"OK, guys," Thea cleared her throat, and the two walked over to get their own glasses. "To the newest vigilante in the multiverse, the Black Wolf."

Alex blushed as the toast was repeated. "I've got something better," she said, turning to Slade and raising her glass. "To family being back together."

"To family," Kara agreed. "Blood bonds us all, no matter which universe."

The toast was repeated again, all of them clinking their glasses together and drinking at the same time, Oliver and Slade holding each other's gazes as they nodded to each other. Yes, Oliver thought as Malcolm engaged Slade in another conversation, Kara and Alex chattering excitedly about going into the field together back on Earth-38. The family was truly back together again.
