Biography
When Laurel Lance was in an AA meeting she was listening to a woman named Erica share getting beaten up by her boyfriend, Laurel told her father Erica was giving a similar share every month and that it had been getting worse. When asked if he knew the boyfriend had eight assault charges against him, Quentin answered that he knew but the police acting on the confessions would defeat the purpose of the anonymity of AA. Deciding to take justice into her own hands, Laurel followed Erica's boyfriend Michael, and assaulted him with a baseball bat while wearing a ski mask and her sister's jacket. Laurel managed to get a few hits at first, but was soon overwhelmed and beaten severely. He is later seen at the Starling City Police Department, when Quentin asked one of his officers why he was arrested, she informs him, that Michael has outstanding Warrants for assault and battery in Coast City, and they got an anonymous tip he was in Starling City, (it has been hinted that the anonymous tip came from Laurel) it can be assumed that he has been sent back to Coast City to face justice for his crimes.
