Speedy
Green Arrow made Mia go back to high school. She desperately wanted to be trained to be the new Speedy, but Arrow told her times were different from when heroes had sidekicks, things were more dangerous, and he could not stand to lose her. Mia gave in, but told him that if she still had aspirations of being a hero when she was 21 she expected him to train her. (Green Arrow v3 #11)

(Green Arrow v3 #13) Later, Mia learned that Conner Hawke had been shot, and went to be by his side. However, the shooter Onomatopoeia went to the hospital to finish the job. He took out Mia, but was stopped in his tracks by Green Arrow. (Green Arrow v3 #15)

Green Arrow learned the old Arrowcar was still around when he saw it up for bids on an auction site. Mia wanted him to buy it, but he told her it belonged to the past.

(Green Arrow v3 #33) Mia and Black Canary had lunch, and Mia asked Arrow not to join them, still steaming that he'd cheated on Canary and not come clean. While Mia was practicing combat techniques and the bow-and-arrow, Green Arrow told her he was sick of her passive-aggressive behavior and had to have a talk with her. He told her how much he regretted cheating on Canary, but would not be telling her because it would only hurt her, and only serve to clear his conscience. Mia gave him a hug and they were once again on speaking terms. (Green Arrow v3 #35)
