Synopsis for "Ultimate Speedy"
Mia is asleep and fantasizing that she is the new Speedy. Furthermore, she is fantasizing of making out with Ollie. Ollie wakes her up and tells her that she is late for school. As Mia jumps into the shower, Ollie finds a crossbow hidden behind her bed. Mia confesses that she wants to become Ollie's new sidekick.
After work at the Star City Youth Center, Ollie and Connor hit the streets stopping criminals. The evening reminds Ollie of Mia's desire to be a hero and just how dangerous this lifestyle truly is. He later convinces her to abandon the notion of ever becoming his sidekick. Mia pledges to continue working out regularly however, and training with a crossbow. Even Connor admits that she is becoming quite skillful at it.
