You watch Mick as he passes out on the counter next to you. You knew you would win. Even though he is different now, parts of the original Mick still remain. Mick is just like you. Saved by an organization and turned into a tool for them to use. As you watch him, you consider his question. Is his different for better or for worse? That is a question you constantly ask yourself, and you cannot answer for him because you still do not know the answer for yourself. All you can do is try to be the best version of yourself you can be. But, old habits are hard to break. When you gave up hope that the team would come back for you in 1958 and recommitted yourself to the League of Assassins, Kendra reminded you of your place on the team. You know that he can find his way again too. And, if he needs someone who understands what he went through, you will be there. As you have another drink, a smirk comes across your face. Even if being there means out drinking him repeatedly. Because he will definitely challenge you again. Some things never change.
