Owen Mercer was standing on the rooftop sof New York after just finishing a patrol "Man, that felt good!!" even though he was fresh in the superhero world, he still loved the thrill. "Glad you could make it, this is rather important." Mercer turned to the voice and noticed that it was Roy Harper "Arsenal?" Boomerang thought "Not anymore, I'm retiring and staying home with my daughter." "And I'm here...why?" Harper looked at the vigilante and said "I want you to take leadership of the Outsiders."

Mercer looked at Harper adn said "What are you talking about?" "I mean that I'm giving you the chance to become the leader, Nightwing says it'll do you good." Owen paced around and then looked at Harper "What will the others say?" "It depends if you take the offer. So are ya?" Mercer looked at the ground and then he said "I'll do it" he then walked up to Harper adn shook his hand Roy smiled and said "Welcome new boy."
