Synopsis:

Green Arrow demands to know why the Shade wasn't at his funeral in person and sent Cat-Man (of all people!) in his stead; the presence of Jay Garrick accounted for that. Arsenal is confused about what's going on, and is told that after the deaths of Barry Allen and Hal Jordan, Green Arrow had realised that his personal effects could cause danger to his loved ones if they survived after his death. He asked Shade to attend to things largely because he's immortal. Arsenal can live with that explanation, but Green Arrow is not pleased to learn that Shade missed some of his personal belongings, including anything in the keeping of either the Flash Museum or the Justice League. Ollier and Roy head out to track them all down, heading first to the Arrowcave, where they find a very disgruntled Solomon Grundy...
