《New Earth: Arrow》Chapter 16

"Okay Oliver, mind telling me why you wanted to meet with me here?" Lyla asked as she entered Roy's club, Crimson, to find Oliver waiting.
"While the bunker is under construction, we've set up a temporary base here." Oliver said, since he knew that J'onn had also restored Lyla's memories as well, since considering that she'd been the Harbinger, it only seemed right that her memories were restored as well.
"A new foundry." Lyla said and Oliver nodded.
"I wanted to talk to you someplace Waller couldn't listen in, since I'm still planning on killing her." Oliver said.
"You and everyone else. But anyways, what's going on?" Lyla asked.
"Have you heard about an organization called the ASA?" Oliver asked.
"A few times, but not a whole lot, why?" Lyla asked as Oliver brought her up to speed on the latest developments.
"Okay, sounds like this Odell bastard would get along real well with Amanda Waller." Lyla said.
"It wouldn't surprise if they're related." Oliver said.
"So, what do you need from me?" Lyla asked.
"Black Lightning has already gotten us evidence against the ASA, which we've given to Kara, since as a reporter, she has the best chance of exposing the ASA's criminal actions, but I was hoping that you could help build a case against them, since while the expose Kara's doing will definitely be good, the more proof we have the better." Oliver said and Lyla nodded.
"I will start conducting an off the books investigation into the ASA with agents I personally trust. We may also dig into Waller, since her actions are very similar to what this Odell has been doing, so we might as well take her down to." Lyla said and Oliver nodded.

"Thank you Lyla." Oliver said.
"I have to admit, when I thought of all the ways Crisis could end, this wasn't what I expected." Lyla said.
"Let me guess, you thought I was going to die?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah pretty much. But I also mean with all the heroes of the multiverse now living on the same earth." Lyla said and Oliver smiled.
"Things don't always go the way we expect them to. But this is one surprise I'm not complaining about. I thought that I'd be reunited with the ones I lost and I was. Just not in the way I expected." Oliver said.
"I'm curious, do you have any ideas on why your father didn't survive?" Lyla asked.
"My best guess is that I could only change things that didn't change me and without my father's sacrifice, I never would've been able to become the man I am today. The man who was willing to give up everything to save the world. All worlds." Oliver said.
"Sounds like you can't deny you're a hero anymore Oliver. Your father would be proud." Lyla said.
"I hope so. When I started this, it was about honoring him and his memory and final wish. Now I realize that this crusade that I've started, while it may have begun about him, now it's grown into so much more. I honestly never could've imagined that it would become what it did and what I'm sure it will be again." Oliver said.
"Oliver, when you started your crusade, you lit the spark and that spark grew into an age of heroes. One that I don't think will be ending any time soon. If anything, it's only just started, since in addition to the heroes we already know of, a new world means new threats, which also will likely mean new heroes will emerge to face them." Lyla said.

"I guess we'll see. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me Lyla." Oliver said.
"It's the least I could do. I'll let you know when I find something." Lyla said and Oliver nodded as they went their separate ways.
After meeting with Lyla, Oliver decided that since the team had spoken about it and he was in the area, it was time to recruit another member of the team and he was thankful that before she'd left, Kara had given him another memory gun, courtesy of J'onn, since they wanted each team to be able to restore the memories of other people from this earth without the martian's assistance.
That was why he was walking up to a familiar apartment in the Glades and took a slight breath before he knocked on the door.
When the door opened, he was surprised by who opened it.
"Mr. Queen. What brings you here?" Laura Ramirez asked.
"I came here to speak to your husband. And no, he's not in any trouble." Oliver said and Laura nodded as she called her husband.
"Mr. Queen, what can I do for you?" Rene asked.
"Can I talk to you out here for a moment." Oliver asked and while Rene was confused, he nodded as he walked out of the apartment.
The moment, the apartment door closed, Oliver whipped out the memory gun and shot Rene with it.
"Damn Hoss, why do I get the feeling you've been wanting to do that for a long time?" Rene asked as he recovered and Oliver smiled.
"Because you know me Rene. Or should I call you Wild Dog." Oliver asked and Rene smiled at him.
"Your choice, since either way, you're talking to the same guy. Green Arrow." Rene said and Oliver smiled.
"Welcome back." Oliver said as he and Rene shook hands.
"Thanks. I'm assuming that I'm the last one you restored the memories of?" Rene asked.
"Yep. Come with me. The team's eager to see you. Especially those who didn't get a chance to meet you before." Oliver said.
"Really, who else is on the team?" Rene asked.
"John, Felicity, Roy, Thea and Quentin like before, along with the real Laurel and Tommy Merlyn." Oliver said.
"So, I finally get to meet the Laurel of this earth. But it sounds like there's a lot to catch me up on." Rene said.
"There is. Like how you're the only one of the new recruits from the old earth that I also recruited on this one." Oliver said.
"Why me? Why not Curtis or Dinah?" Rene asked.
"Because honestly Rene, part of the reason why I think you and I kept budding heads is because of how much you remind me of myself. You've got the heart of a vigilante and a hero. Plus, Curtis isn't exactly the most fit for the field and Dinah is who knows where right now. Besides, the only reason I recruited her was to be the new Black Canary, but since we have the real Black Canary back, there's no need to recruit her." Oliver said.
"Okay, I'm gonna let Laura and Zoe know that I'm going out for a bit and then you can finish bringing me up to speed." Rene said and Oliver nodded.
