Synopsis: - Comptroller Harold Leeds is extremely annoyed at the arrest of Councilman Dreyfus and threatens Van Buren of the police with premature retirement. He is even more irritated when Green Arrow invades his office - Arrow is angered by Leeds' decision to close the Star City youth center so that the Slayer could not find his victims there - now he/she/it just has the whole city to use as a hunting ground. In the course of the conversation, Arrow is disoriented to find that the mayor and police commissioner he knew are dead or retired, long ago.
- Later, Mia Dearden arrives at the youth center, which has been reopened by Stanley Dover and Oliver Queen, and talks her way into a job - also mentioning to Queen that it's fairly obvious he is also Green Arrow. While she gets to know Dover and the kids, Ollie decides to take a trip to Coast City, to see Hal Jordan, only to discover that it no longer exists. Stanley tells Mia how he took an amnesiac Green Arrow in and nursed him for weeks before he regained a semblance of sanity. In the process, he outfitted his apartment with decade-old technology, as newer stuff confused Arrow.
- That night, Green Arrow investigates a group of people at the docks who he suspects of smuggling children. As he waits for signs of activity, he ponders what has happened to him, and wonders if it is due to a trip he took to Oa recently. He takes out the dock workers and discovering that they are smuggling drugs rather than child slaves. He is then interrupted, first by supervillain Black Manta, and then by a very surprised Aquaman, who was pursuing Manta and certainly wasn't expecting to see Green Arrow.
