User blog:Nightslayer2/My Version of Arrow Season 6

 After the suicide of Adrian Chase and the explosions happening on Lian Yu, Oliver and his illegitimate son William arrive to the scene to search for survivors. William is worried about his mother and Oliver reassures him that everything will be alright while apologizing to William for not being there for him due to all those times that William needed him. They find Slade, Nyssa, Felicity, Curtis, and Dinah, who survived by escaping on the A.R.G.U.S boat thanks to Lyla, who arrived on the scene at the right moment before the explosion after learning that her husband was kidnapped. They reveal that Samantha fled from the group to go find William which is why Diggle, Rene, Quentin, and Thea went looking for her. They find Diggle, Rene, and Thea trapped in the catacombs (that tomb Baron Reiter used when finding the totem during Oliver's fourth year on the island in season 4) with Black Siren. They went looking for Samantha until they spotted Black Siren and ended up trapped in the catacombs while pursuing her. Team Arrow concluded that Evelyn Sharp, Malcolm Merlyn, Digger Harkness, Samantha Clayton, and Talia Al Ghul's cult members all died in the explosion. William is devastated when he sees his mother's corpse on the island. Afterward, Lyla takes everyone back to Star City, Oliver lets Slade go as part of their agreement, Laurel somehow gives them the slip and takes off due to taking out her prison guards, and Nyssa leaves to find Talia to ensure she doesn't continue to try to avenge their father's death at the hands of Oliver. Oliver then takes William into his custody so he can raise him.

 Six months after everything that has ocurred, Oliver continues being the mayor of Star City while leading his team as his heroic alter ego the Green Arrow while being a parent to William, who has been quiet and reclusive due to his mother's unfortunate demise. Oliver contemplates going back to killing, however, he decides not to because if he does, then Adrian will have won the war. There has been a recent change in Oliver's personality in which he becomes more socially conscious both as himself and the Green Arrow (like Stephen Amell wanted) while William considers him to be the bad man due to Adrian having told William about how Oliver killed his father Justin Claybourne and due to the nightmares he's been having about everything that happened. William even blames Oliver for his mother's death which makes Oliver feel guilty about everything that has happened. Quentin continues serving as Oliver's deputy mayor, however, he is still haunted by the encounter with Earth-2 Laurel and that she is what Earth-1 Laurel could've become. Thea has started her own company due to the shares she has inherited from Malcolm Merlyn and renamed Merlyn Global Group to Queen Inc. Thea even had Curtis and Felicity develop Q-Pads and Q-Phones, which becomes a hit worldwide. Rene has regained custody of his daughter Zoey and Thea decides to date Rene after seeing how he treats his daughter and also because Rene reminds him of Roy. Walter Steele is now working as Thea Queen's right hand man and giving Thea advice on how to run the company (like Lucius Fox having the midas touch from Batman). Walter resigned from the Star City Trust Bank (formerly the Starling Trust Bank) due to their deal with the Triads and retired until Thea convinced Walter to come work for her. Diggle has become traumatized by the event and injured which is why he now spends time at A.R.G.U.S being a consultant for Lyla which is why Dinah is Oliver's right hand woman on the team. Diggle gives Oliver advice on how to be a good parent to William and Oliver begins to involve William in a bunch of activities while spending time with him. William eventually gets interested in archery and martial arts which is why Oliver decides to train him.

For the last few months, Star City has been terrorized by the Star City Slayer, a killer who has been targeting homeless orphans which is why councilman Freddy Dreyfus is using this as an excuse to run for mayor against Oliver, saying that the Queen Administration hasn't done anything to save this city. Oliver investigates Dreyfus as the Green Arrow suspecting that he is the Star City Slayer. As the green Arrow, Oliver defeats all of Dreyfus' thugs and saves Sin, whom Dreyfus has been creepy and abusive to. Sin is revealed to have been staying with Earth-2 Laurel for the past few months (their relationship is like Catwoman and Holly Robinson). Earth-2 Laurel would always steal to survive and has been making her appearance well known to the media which is why Oliver and Dinah make it their top priority to bring in Earth-2 Laurel before she sabotages her Earth-1 Laurel's legacy. Dinah, Ollie, and Team Arrow are forced to team up with Earth-2 Laurel to save Sin when she is kidnapped by a crime lord called Rough Cut, who wants to sell her as well as some other trafficked girls. However, Sin and the other girls are rescued by them. Before Earth-2 Laurel allows herself to surrender, she gives Sin some diamonds that Rough Cut was smuggling so she can make a living. Quentin, who is still haunted by the encounter, meets with Earth-2 Laurel demanding to know about her and Earth-2 Laurel keeps pissing Quentin off.

  Laurel was the daughter of deputy mayor Quentin Lance, who was good friends with millionaire Robert Queen and had a boss named Malcolm Merlyn, who was the mayor. Laurel even met Robert's son Oliver through Quentin's meetings with Robert and Laurel soon started dating Oliver. Laurel was devestated when Oliver perished at sea and began to bury herself in her work as a lawyer for CNRI. Laurel even pushed away Quentin and her mother when they tried to help her. In the mid-2013, Mayor Merlyn, who is secretly revealed to be a leader of the League of Assassins and referred to as Ra's Al Ghul, destroyed the Glades in the Undertaking with an earthquake machine since his wife Rebecca and son Tommy were killed there that night. Laurel was trapped in CNRI and Quentin gave his life to save her. Laurel's friends Lyla Michaels (who is her bodyguard on Earth-2 after Laurel was kidnapped by Cyrus Vauch), Joanna De La Vega, Thea Queen, Roy Harper, and Adrian Chase died in the Undertaking. Laurel went to Central City for a fresh start to live with her mother and took up a job at the D.A's office there. Laurel gets kidnapped by Brian Nudocerdo, the corrupt commissioner of the CCPD whom Laurel was trying to expose when working with the D.A’s office over there. Nudocerdo and a group of corrupt cops have Laurel suffer in a torture chamber after killing her mother. Laurel's lover police sergeant Vincent Sobel tries to rescue Laurel only to get captured. Sobel tries to escape Nudocerdo by stabbing in the foot with a knife, however, he is killed by corrupt cops causing Laurel to scream. Laurel was then affected by Harrison Wells' particle accelerator giving her powers. Laurel snapped and began killing Nudocerdo and his corrupt police officer friends. Zoom learned of this and recruited Laurel into his team. Laurel at first refused until Zoom revealed to her he was "Jay Garrick/The Flash", and Laurel realized it was Hunter Zolomon, a serial killer she prosecuted when he was caught by Iris West, Floyd Lawton, and Barry Allen. Laurel then gave into her impulses and became Black Siren. She then started killing people and become the opposite of her doppelganger from Earth-1.







 Hearing all of this makes Quentin riddled with emotions to learn just how much suffering this woman endured especially when his own daughter could just as easily have become her.



 Meanwhile, an undercover cop named Andrew Lopez is murdered while infiltrating the Bratva and Lance makes it his top priority to bring down the Bratva member Yuri Dimitrov (from Batman: Gotham Knight ), who ordered the hit on Lopez. Lance gets his revenge on Dimitrov by exposing his corruption at a martial arts gym he owns in front of his clients. Lance even gets warrants to search the place and Dinah becomes smitten with martial arts instructor Desmond Lamarr (in the comics he is an ex-special forces member who became the sensei to the an early Black Canary during the zero year. Lance continues to use the law to harrass Dimitrov, however, a group of renegade police officers led by Pike decide to take matters involving Dimitrov into their own hands by injuring one of the Bratva's top members. Dimitrov then has the Bratva following Quentin and has him kidnapped. Before Dimitrov could kill Quentin, his men are all killed by Pike and the ACU forcing Dimitrov to surrender. Pike arrests Dimitrov for kidnapping and the attempted murder of the deputy mayor, however, Lance is pissed off at Pike for not filling him in on the plan. In Moscow, Anatoly learns of Dimitrov's arrest and is outraged by this.



 While hunting the Star City Slayer, Slade needs Oliver's help to save his son Joseph, who is in a remote prison fighting for his life under the alias Mark Wolfman. After saving Joseph, whom Slade reconciles with, Slade's former A.S.I.S commander Wade DeFarge targets Slade after learning that he killed Billy Wintergreen. Flashbacks reveal how Joseph was the youngest son of Slade and Adeline. Joseph was then kidnapped by the terrorist Jackcal, sent by the Quarac president for killing an important colonel, in an effort to obtain information from his father on Australia. Slade refused to cooperate with Jackal, out of loyalty to his country, and tries to rescue Joseph by betting on his speed. Slade rescued Joseph, however, Adeline divorced Slade and took her sons with him. Slade's son Grant, who had fled from his mother after the divorce, is then hired by Wade to take out his own father. However, the genetic modifications that Wade made to Grant led to his heart giving out during the fight (the future is always changing in The Flash  like when Iris was originally going to die, so why not allow Team Arrow to try to change the future?).

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">Diggle begins seeing things in Lyla's perspective and begins to understood that she only makes decisions like Amanda Waller unless she has no other choice and apologizes to her, especially for his reaction when Lyla had Cayden James imprisoned without a trial. Unfortunately, Wade DeFarge, aware that Slade is a part of A.R.G.U.S as a mercenary, attacks the place with his men and Lyla is wounded. Diggle, however, stops them from killing Lyla. With Lyla taken to a hospital in Coast City for extensive surgeries while Diggle is surprised that he is appointed to be in charge of the agency while Lyla is away. Diggle accepts in order to honor his wife. Slade then kills DeFarge for everything he has done.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Oliver continues to look into the Star City Slayer and investigates the comptroller Harold Leeds, who had the Star City Youth Center closed down which is why Ollie confronts him about it. Leeds tells Mayor Queen it is to safeguard orphans from the recent murders performed by the Star City Slayer. Oliver befriends an elderly man named Stanley Dover after saving him from being mugged as the Green Arrow and he starts to trust Dover after Dover tends to his injuries. Oliver then convinces Dover the homosexual millionaire to buy the Star City Youth Center and have Sin as one of the first new employees. However, unknown to Oliver, Dover is actually the Star City Slayer and has been using the blood from his victims to feed his grandson Young Stanley.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Anatoly comes to Star City, America from Moscow, Russia to learn more about Dimitrov's arrest. Anatoly deduces that Lance is affiliated with Oliver and Team Arrow which is why he tries to kill Oliver himself. Anatoly tries to kill Oliver only for Oliver to lure Anatoly into a bar owned by the Chechen mafia (the Solntsevskaya Bratva's rivals in real life) which results in a shootout. Anatoly survives this and gets arrested by the SCPD after they find his blood at the scene from Anatoly's injury. Oliver visits his old friend in prison asking if this is over, however, Anatoly says it isn't. Oliver wonders if he is becoming a killer again, however, Diggle denies it by saying that what he did to Ollie is called a loophole. However, Oliver is still worried about this. Quentin also learns of Ollie's past with the Bratva and gets pissed at Ollie since he considers Bratva to be his worst enemies. This causes a lot of tension between Quentin and Oliver, however, Quentin finally understands why Oliver was friends with Anatoly in the first place after being reminded about why he worked with Damian Dhark.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> During the four way crossover, I have no ideas for it, but Eobard95 and Xandermcc's ideas are pretty cool with either the bad guys being the Legion of Doom formed by Gorilla Grodd and the good guys' evil twins. I would prefer during the crossover that Oliver meets James Olsen and starts training him. Winn meets Felicity and they compete to see who the best hacker is. I woulld love to see Slade appear and to meet Ray. However, Ray is still angry at Slade since Slade's terrorist attack on Starling City cost him the life of his fiance Anna. Again, I hope that Slade is forgiven for his past sins because Slade wasn't in control of his actions, it was the Mirakuru that did this to him.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> John Constantine arrives to warn Oliver about Dover, saying that he cannot be trusted. Constantine reveals that Dover has been savagely murdering boys and girls to use their blood as a means of baiting a demonic entity known as the Beast With No Name. Dover and his wife Marge lived in the suburbs where they enjoyed life as a cheerful, wholesome, church-going couple. The rising popularity of Satanism however, lured them away from the church and they began participating in various occult rituals. While Marge enjoyed them merely for the sex orgies, Stanley was captivated by the Satanic lust for power. The time eventually came when Marge became pregnant, and she no longer wished to be part of the cult following. Stanley was elated by the news of his wife's pregnancy, but upset that she wanted to abandon their new church. Dover wanted to use the infant as a human sacrifice for the Great Beast in a bid to gain immortality. Marge was repulsed by her husband's desires and soon left him. Stanley then continued to research the occult seeking a means to summon the Great Beast. In 1968, he met Jason Blood who told him about the Magdalene Grimoire. Dover learned that the book was in possession of a notorious Magus named Roderick Burgess. Tracking Roderick down, Dover learned he was dead and stole the book during a party from Burgess' son Alexander.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Dover kidnaps Oliver to sacrifice him and take command of his body. Constantine & Team Arrow try to get into Stanley's house only for them to not succeed because of the Blood Seal. William is the only one able to get through due to being Ollie's biological son which is why Dover summons a horde of monsters to stop him. Ollie manages to break free and take Stanley down with a classic boxing glove arrow. All the demons vanish, except for Spot, young Stanley's demonic childhood Monster friend. Spot sends the demons back to hell and reunites with little Stanley. Spot then kills the older Stanley by eating him and Oliver is left with Stanley's entire estate since the older Stanley originally wanted to steal Ollie's identity. Oliver then decides to use Dover's estate to help the city as a means of saving the taxpayers money.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> For the second half of the season, Team Arrow goes after Vigilante, who is continuing to kill criminals and innocent people, which he dismisses as collateral damage. Vigilante's targets are the Bratva members led by Ricardo Diaz/Richard Dragon, who is running things in Anatoly's absence. Eventually, Vigilante is revealed to be Curtis' husband Paul, who is actually the illegitimate son of Justin Claybourne and his real name is actually Simon Morrison.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Growing up, Simon knew who his father was and loved him more than anything, however, he did harbor disgust towards his father's corruption. Eventually, Claybourne discovered that Simon had psychiatric issues and was in the process of disowning him, which Simon knew about it and was angered by. When the Arrow killed his father, Simon was inspired to become just like him after attending his father's funeral. So, he began training to become Vigilante with the money he inherited from Claybourne and changed his name to Paul, eventually marrying Curtis and keeping him in the dark about his past. Paul has been operating as Vigilante for sometime now and even divorced Curtis after discovering that Curtis is Mr. Terrific. Paul wanted to get Team Arrow off his backs, so Adrian offered him an alliance and Paul accepted. Adrian then started pretending to be Justin Claybourne's son seeking revenge on Oliver for his death. However, the alliance soon ended when Paul wanted to kill Oliver Queen because of him covering up the circumstances regarding the death of Billy Malone. Chase, wanting to get Paul under control, kidnapped his mother Amanda Westfield and forced Paul to cooperate. Paul tried to rescue his mother only for Adrian to kill her, causing him to be alone in his grief.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Curtis is then shocked and angry to discover that his ex-husband Paul is the Vigilante and decides to move on by finding another person to date. <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">Not wanting the public to lose faith in the law, Oliver gives credit for Paul's arrest to Pike. When Paul goes to prison, he meets Anatoly, who seeks to control of the prison he is in and gets Paul to fight Derek Sampson, who is in charge. Paul is able to kill Sampson and Anatoly turns on Paul by attempting to have him killed. However, Paul survives and Anatoly makes arrangements for Paul to escape from prison knowing that he is going to kill Oliver if he interferes and so Paul can take out the competition for the Bratva. Learning that Paul has escaped, Oliver and Quentin visit Anatoly in prison, where they both deduce that he is running things now.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">In the meantime, upon learning that Paul is actually Justin Claybourne's son, Oliver becomes obsessed with finding out what Adrian/Prometheus was motivated by. Oliver learns that Robert had an affair with Moira Queen's old friend Celia Kazantkakis.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Robert accidentally got Celia pregnant with his child and didn't know about it. Before Celia could tell Robert about the child, Moira learns about this and blackmails Celia into leaving with the child after discovering that Celia was embezzling money from an orphanage that was one of Moira's charities. Celia then left for her family's home in Greece to raise the child, who would eventually be known as Adrian Chase and become Prometheus.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">Prometheus' mother returns as "Athena", leader of a criminal cartel. In this guise, she attempted to stage a coup of Thea's company until Oliver discovers the truth and defeats her while being shocked that Adrian is actually his half-brother.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">Anatoly contacts Dragon asking to help get him released from prison. Dragon blackmails Dinah into removing the evidence against Anatoly murdering the Chechen mafia members by threatening her boyfriend and Dinah agrees to it since she doesn't want to lose someone she cares about again just like how she lost her previous boyfriend to Sean Sonus. Oliver eventually discovers the truth and shows understanding towards Dinah promising to ensure no harm will come to her boyfriend by forcing Dragon and his men to leave him alone as Dragon tries to fill in Tobias Church's shoes. Dragon even gets Earth-2 Laurel to be her right hand woman after Earth-2 Laurel sweet talks her way up the ladder and also because of Dragon being impressed with her abilities. Dragon even decides to betray Anatoly by sending assassins after him. Anatoly then kidnaps Susan Williams, blackmailing Team Arrow into helping him. Oliver refuses to kill again and gets Diggle to imprison the hitmen at A.R.G.U.S black sites. Lance, Dinah, Thea, and Felicity both work together to rescue Susan while Anatoly decides to leave Star City. However, Anatoly gets approached by Talia Al Ghul, who offers him the Mirakuru.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">Using the Mirakuru, Anatoly becomes KG Beast and begins to attack Dragon and his men.

Anatoly invites Oliver to fight him to the death, but instead Anatoly locks the room, effectively burying him alive. Soon A.R.G.U.S has Anatoly picked up and Dragon is defeated. Oliver questions Anatoly again about where he got the Mirakuru and Anatoly mentions Talia to him. Earth-2 Laurel tries to kill Dinah out of jealousy for her and Oliver decides to leave her in the Arrowcave out of sympathy for her. The team even starts to feel sorry for her. Oliver begins to talk sense into Earth-2 Laurel convincing her to help with Dragon, however, Laurel refused to listen like last time when Oliver tried to convince Laurel that she is a good person for protecting Sin from Rough Cut. In the meantime, Talia begins plotting to avenge her father and to take down all of his opponents.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">Susan Williams, angered at everything that has happened and consider Oliver to be the poison (just like what Lee Thompkins believed for Jim Gordon to be in <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Gotham <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">after Jim killed her fiance Mario) tries to expose him for being the Green Arrow.

However before she could, Susan wants to know how and why Oliver is the Green Arrow. She calls the Queen administration and threatens to publish the article if Oliver does not meet with her to discuss it. Thea contemplates having Felicity frame Susan again for plagarism, however, Oliver refuses and tries to talk Susan out of it. However, surprisingly, when Oliver is meeting with Susan, they are both attacked by Nyssa Al Ghul, who seeks to kill Susan.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">After Nyssa is defeated and placed in the Arrowcave, the team discovers that while Nyssa was on the hunt for Talia, Talia captured Nyssa and brainwashed her by killing Nyssa and then resurrecting her in rapid succession, leaving Nyssa to be virtually broken from the trauma of dying again and again in so short a time. The only reason that Talia wants to kill Susan is because she realized that Susan is a descendant of an old opponent of her father’s. Talia, anticipating that Susan would be hidden in the Arrowcave, orders her assassins to attack in order to kill her. However, those assassins are taken out by Team Arrow and Black Siren, who is released from her cage and finally decides to make the right choice.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">Deciding to take the fight to Talia, Slade and his men start attacking her headquarters (same like in the movie <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Batman & Son <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">) with Team Arrow showing up as well as Vigilante, who decided to help in order to prevent Curtis from getting killed even though Curtis is still pissed off at Paul for everything he has done. Oliver agrees to it since he feels that the team is going to need all the help it can get in order to defeat Talia.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">During the battle, Oliver defeats Talia. Talia tries to get Oliver to kill him by explaining how she corrupted Anatoly, trained Prometheus, and tried to kill William. However, Oliver refuses saying that he is no longer the monster he once was. However, Oliver is grateful for Talia training him and says he won’t kill her, however, he won’t save her. Talia is then tortured by Nyssa and Vigilante. Nyssa is angry at what Talia did to her and Vigilante was angry at Talia for endangering Curtis as well as being involved with the man who killed his mother. The two of them ten kill her.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">In the aftermath, Susan is grateful for everything Oliver has done and promises to never reveal is secrets.

Nyssa decides to join Tatsu Yamashiro in the Crescent Order. Team Arrow throws a party in Felicity’s apartment to celebrate their victory and William expresses an interest in going on the field with the rest of the teammates, however, Oliver promises William that he will when he’s older. William asks when and Oliver says never. Diggle is absent from the celebration to visit Lyla in the hospital at Keystone City and Lyla comes out of her coma to be face to face with her husband and her son John Jr., who is now three years old.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);white-space:pre-wrap;">In the aftermath, Paul visits his childhood home and accepts closure. He then proceeds to burn away the last memories of his former life, setting his home on fire and tossing a picture of him and Curtis into the flames. Paul, who is in his Vigilante uniform, then dons the mask and leaves to continue carrying out his brand of justice. Paul leaves to locate a mysterious ally from his past whom he refers to as J.J after obtaining a CD with his name on it.
