(Ben wakes up on a rooftop)

Ben: Why does this roof look familiar?
(He says while getting off the ground)

Monitor: Because...

(Ben turns around to find the Monitor)

Monitor: It's the same rooftop you landed on when you first arrived on Earth-1.

Ben: Oh... Wait, am I not on Earth-1?

Monitor: Not exactly.

Ben: What does that mean?

Monitor: When everything was reset; Earth-1 and a couple other Earth's have merged together. This is no longer Earth-1, this is something new.

Ben: If it's not Earth-1. What is new world, we're on?

Monitor: Earth-Prime. It's beautiful when everything comes together to make something new.

Ben: And my Earth? Is it safe?

Monitor: Yes. You kept your word, and I kept mine.

Ben: But I won't be able to see them for a long time.

Monitor: Correct. Do you regret your decision?

Ben: No, I did the right thing. Deep down they understood why I had to do this. (Scoffs) You know, I thought of you as an enemy when we first met. And you did help Charmcaster get stronger... But I realized your an ally now. You helped us survive the Crisis.

Monitor: That is my role.

Ben: We all have our roles to play. Right?

Monitor: Yes. Destiny is a funny thing.

Ben: You lied about seeing my future. Didn't you?

Monitor: How did you know?

Ben: Because I think you would have recruited me, if you didn't know what I had to offer for the Crisis.

Monitor: You are correct.

Ben: Cool. So the Crisis is finally over.

Monitor: Not exactly.

Ben: What do you mean?

Monitor: Not only has Crisis changed everything. It also brought something dangerous.

Ben: Like what?

Monitor: Let me explain.

(Meanwhile... in Star City)

(Queen Mansion)

(Oliver wakes up in his old room)

Oliver: (mind) What the hell is going on?

(Oliver goes to the living room to find his mother)

Oliver: Mom?

Moira: Good morning, Oliver. Busy night?

Oliver: Umm... kinda. How are you here?

Moira: My driver picked my up from Queen Consolidated. Are you feeling ok, Oliver?

Oliver: Me? What about you? I mean that night with Slade Wilson...

Moira: Oliver, are you still blaming yourself for what happened? What happened six years ago is not your fault. You saved both me and your sister that night. How much sleep did you get?

Oliver: Umm...

Moira: I thought you decided to stop being the Green Arrow?

Oliver: It's a long story. I'll tell you all about it, but I need to see my friends.
