"LAUREL LANCE IS THE BLACK CANARY?" The woman on the news spoke.

Thea sighed. "He didn't waste one second" she commented. Quentin nodded.

"What are we gonna do about this?" He moved his head from the pancake batter to Thea on the couch.

"Deny it that's what" Thea looked at the enormous stack of pancakes.

"How many people do you think are going to eat this?" She laughed.

"Something tells me we are going to have company" he replied also laughing.

"Did you check on Laurel?" Quentin went back to mixing the batter.

"Yeah she's still asleep. I'm worried Quentin, she really should be taking it easy" Thea did sound concerned.

"I know, after all this is over I'm taking her to... I don't know, Aruba?"

Thea laughed at Quentin. Then there was a knock. Thea widened her eyes and walked towards the door. It was Oliver. And Felicity. Thea frowned at that. She smiled at them.

"Hey did you eat?"

"No"

"Quentin! Prepare more batter!" Thea screamed. Oliver laughed.

"So you've seen the news?" He asked as he walked inside. "No, is there something going on?" Thea joked.

"Oliver and I were talking last night, and we got an idea" Felicity sat down on the couch. She took out a paper from her bag.

"What's that?" Thea sat down next to Felicity.

"It's a charity event, Ruve will be there, which is why we believe Evelyn or the Impostor will also be there. Looking for her. So I say we kill two birds in one stone, we have Laurel make an appearance, she denies any of the accusations"

"But it has been revealed Evelyn is an impostor, so there wouldn't be any concrete evidence" Thea protested.

"Yes but it was also revealed the Black Canary suffered a major injury, so if Laurel makes an appearance, looking fine and and normal, and comes up with a good lie, then I think everything should be fine" Felicity shrugged.

"And what would that good lie be?" Quentin asked. Oliver already had a mouthful of pancakes so he held up his finger signaling he wanted to talk.

"I know which lie exactly" he said and Thea laughed at him struggling to chew down the pancakes.

...

"You can't be serious" Laurel covered her face with her hands. Thea, Quentin, Oliver and Felicity stood over her.

"I know this sounds crazy, but it is a good plan honey" Quentin stroke Laurel's hair.

She took a deep breath. "Besides, Thea and I will be there, none on us will let you out of our sights" Oliver promised her. Thea nodded.

"When Evelyn makes an appearance I will change into my suit, John will be there too, and we'll catch her, then we come home, and you can collapse and stay asleep for a week if you want"

Laurel smiled at Oliver. "That does sound pretty nice" her hand was pressed to her side. She sighed. "Fine"

"Okay so, the important thing is, that they don't see any signs of injury from you, let them think you're fine" Felicity explained. Laurel nodded.

"Laurel, I've been meaning to ask" Oliver sat down next to her on the bed and placed his hand on her arm.

"Are you going to want pain meds?"
