The Canaries

Post Crisis Earth 2

13 Years ago Oliver took my sister out to the Gambit for their Honeymoon. They were so happy. My dad led Oliver on forever. But finally, he gave him permission to Marry Sara. While they were out to sea, the TVs in Starling City all turned on at the same time. Malcolm Merlin was broadcasting as the Dark Archer. He gave a speech about how the city needed to see its privilege. He pulled out a detonated and a video of the Queens Gambit exploding appeared on the screen.

That was the day it all started.

That was the day I vowed to kill the Dark Archer.

I became the Canary. I learned to fight, and with the help of Queen Consolidated Applied Sciences Division head Engineer, Felicity Smoak, I continued fight adding in New Gadgets to my Arsenal. Including the Canary Cry, and my electric Batons.

Once I found out who he was, I confronted Merlin. We fought for a time that neither of us could begin to recall. But Merlin had tricks up his sleeve. In the end I beat him, but the Magicians final card, was leveling the Glades, murdering everyone inside. Including my Boyfriend Tommy.

I pledged that day to fight not only for my agenda, but to save those of Starling City, by using the gadgets and Techniques I've learned.

My name is Laurel Lance.
For 13 years I've fought to make sure that no other family in Starling loses a brother or a sister. To do that, I had to become something else, I had to become someone else.
