- Shooting arrows isn't the biggest change that happened to me on the island. Before I washed up on that beach, I never considered myself a family man. Never wanted to settle down. Or have kids. But again, the universe has different ideas for me...

Synopsis for "Reunion, Part 1"
During the Dark Crisis, Oliver Queen attempts to jump from Multiverse-2 to Earth 0 with the Justice League, but instead wakes up alone on a beach on an alien world.
Months later, Black Canary and Arsenal, along with Oliver's estranged son Connor Hawke who they met during the battle at the Hall of Justice, are searching for him. Mister Terrific assures them that Oliver did leave the ruins of Multiverse-2 with the others but was somehow diverted to another location. Following a lead from Red Hood they chase down a gang of unemployed henchmen into Gotham's Alleytown neighbourhood. Team Arrow easily overpower the petty crooks but one tries to get away. Just as Roy is about to shoot him, local vigilante Cheshire Cat leaps down from above and knocks him unconscious; then picks up a discarded arrow and throws it at another henchman who was about to shoot Team Arrow from behind, hitting him hard enough to lodge the arrow in his shoulder and knock him to the ground.
Cheshire Cat tries to leave quickly, but Roy reveals that they know she is his daughter Lian Harper. Lian tries to deny it but Roy keeps telling her details of her childhood. Roy tells Lian he doesn't know or care how she came back from the dead; and that it's alright if she isn't ready to come home yet, but she can whenever she wants. After a moment's hesitation Lian takes off her mask and runs to hug him. They all tearfully reunite and Roy asks her why she didn't come back when he learned who she was. Lian tells him that "they" will never let their family be together and suddenly she and Connor start to teleport away. Lian doesn't appear to be surprised and tells Roy to find Amanda Waller as he grabs for her. They disappear and Roy picks up her discarded mask. He furiously asks where Amanda Waller is.
Lian rematerialises in a futuristic city on the alien world. She is confronted by a Manhunter, but it is quickly destroyed by Oliver Queen. They flee from a Manhunter squad, and to Lian's surprise Oliver reveals that he knows who she is, and claims that he knew she was coming. He leads her to a chamber with a teleporter in it, and tells her that it brought them both to where they are. He destroys it and Lian yells at him that they could have used it to go home, but Oliver tells her they never can.
