Synopsis for "The Seven Soldiers of Spring Break"
Green Arrow and Red Arrow are training and start having an argument, on which Red Arrow points out that Oliver stole his Modus Operandi from the Golden Age Green Arrow, Oliver counters it by revealing that he is the Golden Age Green Arrow, and then reveals his history with the Seven Soldiers of Victory, in which he and Speedy were sent back in time by Clock King and met other heroes, with which they made friendships and formed the Seven Soldiers. The heroes were eventually sent to the present in an attack by Nebula Man, bringing Oliver and Roy back to their time era but letting the other soldiers stranded in an strange world
Oliver and Emiko are interrupted by The Crimson Avenger who says she needs Green Arrow's help to save Lee Travis. Stargirl and S.T.R.I.P.E. fly to Myrtle Beach, to where Pat was called for a top secret mission, when they arrive, Barbara Whitmore calls Pat. In a bar, Pat and Courtney discuss about the Seven Soldiers of Victory and where they currently are. They're interrupted by Crimson Avenger, who transports both of them to the place where the surviving Seven Soldiers and Red Arrow are.
When they start talking, Crimson Avenger warns Courtney and Emiko not to come. She then says that Lee Travis's body was never found and takes the Soldiers out of the place. Emiko tells Courtney why the Avenger doesn't want them there, mentioning Wing and Star-Spangled Kid's previous deaths. But neither agree and go searching for the adults around Myrtle Beach.
They find them when the Soldiers fall from the skies being attacked by Clock King and time-displaced Pterodactyls. In the chaos of the attack, Emiko and Courtney find Lee Travis. They them try to help against Clock King, and are repressed by Crimson Avenger II. She tries to free herself off the curse by saving Lee Travis, but, by touching him, she ends up creating a time paradox. This makes Stargirl see a group of children (including Wing) running from the Childminder. Lee Travis tells Courtney to destroy Degaton's time machine, which she does, and then sacrifices himself.
In the aftermath, Lee Travis' death, his body is found and he receives a funeral service. Clock King is also not found. Emiko crashes into Courtney's house and says she has a lead to Wing's location.
