AUTHOR'S NOTE: This sprang into my head after I saw some screenshots of the Black Canary statue that will be featured sometime in Arrow season 5.

This story comes sometime after "All I Want For Christmas Is A New Code Name, where the resurrected Laurel became the Phoenix, and after "The Best Seat In The House, where Len made known his distaste for modern art.

"Is that supposed to be me?" Laurel asked incredulously, staring at the bronze statue on the waterfront.

Rip looked around anxiously, making sure no Star City residents of 2052 heard the Phoenix's question. Then, in a low tone, he said, "Yes, it is. Oliver Queen commissioned it after your death."

Sara read the inscription aloud. "Laurel Lance – The Black Canary. She defended this city. Dedicated October 5, 2016."

"It's better than the piece they did for the Green Arrow," Len said. He was standing in front of an abstract copper sculpture. "He got crappy modern art."

"I don't like it," Mick declared. "Doesn't look like you."

Laurel smiled under her Phoenix visor. "No?"

Mick grunted. "You're better looking than that."

Laurel laughed, and Rip huffed a little. "Well, aesthetics aside, our mission is done and we should move along before someone does decide there's a resemblance. Come on."

Rip walked off, leading the way back to the Waverider. Sara signaled to Len, and the two of them hung back a little.

She stepped close to him and asked, "Was that Mick… hitting on my sister?"

Len grinned. "In his own painfully awkward way? Yes."

"We are in so much trouble."
