Synopsis for "Dark Crisis: Worlds Without a Justice League - Green Arrow"

In a medieval forest, Green Arrow and his band of Merry Men protect the peasants from the wicked Sheriff Merlyn, who taxes the villagers into poverty on behalf of the evil king. Their adventures are narrated by a hooded minstrel. During a fight, Merlyn flees into the forest and Oliver gives chase. He loses Merlyn but finds a small canary, which leads him through the forest and a bank of fog into a modern city. He is attacked by a blond woman dressed in black, and while they fight they each suddenly realise that the other looks incredibly familiar, despite having never met before. They stop the fight and she tells him that the forest suddenly appeared at the edge of the city.

Oliver tells her he doesn't know what happened any more than she does and the woman introduces herself as Dinah Lance, the Black Canary. She takes him on a tour of the city, ending at the Canary Club. The two flirt and almost kiss, but suddenly the door of the building explodes, and a hulking doppleganger of Oliver known as Regicide walks through, firing explosive arrows at them. Regicide rants at Oliver that they were never meant to leave the island, that the outside world has corrupted him, and his and Canary's worlds should never have met. Green Arrow and Black Canary fight Regicide, and Dinah is eventually able to kill him with his own arrows.

The two share a kiss while the minstrel watches and says that they are soulmates, destined to be together in all the myriad realities. He pulls his hood back to reveal that he is another Oliver Queen.

Synopsis for "Till Death Do Us Part!"

After defeating the Justice League, Pariah imprisoned each of them in their own paradise worlds. On Earth-Black Canary.1, Dinah Lance is an officer of a high-tech police force called the Birds of P.R.E.Y.; while on Earth-Green Arrow.1, Oliver Queen is an armored vigilante. However, they are each haunted by dreams of the other. Oliver develops a ship to allow him to travel between universes to track Dinah, and crosses over to her universe. When she sees him, her memories return and she realises he is not meant to be there.

Their worlds shatter and they find themselves floating in a void with Pariah, as has apparently happened multiple times before. Pariah decides to simply let Ollie, who was mortally wounded by Doomsday and is only kept alive by the paradise worlds, die to prevent another failure. However, Dinah tells him that Ollie will always look for her, and she will never be at peace if she can't protect him. She asks him to give them a world where they can be together, promising that they will forget the real world if he does.
