(A nasty sounding thud could be heard somewhere near the cookbooks. A young woman came to and found a small bookmark in the pocket of her coat: a black leather quiver with a red bow and arrow stitched onto the leather. There's also a high powered bow and arrows sitting close by and she's also badly banged up from the fight she had been in.)

Ok, given that I'm covered in blood and remember being stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul's sword and have no idea where I am what is going on? (not knowing the quiver was recording and playing everything to the library)

Ollie? Diggle? Felicity? Laurel?? Roy? Ray?

Anyone here? (she promptly passes out from a combo of shock from being stabbed and the crash landing but will come to shortly)

[The Cat tracks their latest patron down, letting out a sigh when he see the state Queen was in. Padding over to her side, he focuses on her and the injury. Satisfied that the damage looks worse than it as, he sits down beside her, curling his tail around his paws.

Eventually, he begins to purr loudly, knowing that the sound is soothing to most beings, waiting for her to wake up.]

(The sound of a purring cat was what brought Thea out of her haze/knock to the head from crash landing combo. She blinked several times and discovered a cat sitting next to her and purring.)

"Hi there kitty, you have any idea where I am or why there was a leather quiver in my coat pocket?" Thea asked, hoping against hope for some answers. (But she was holding onto the leather quiver and was relieved to see her bow and arrows leaning against a nearby shelf.)

The Cat's ears flicked slightly in annoyance at the term 'kitty' but he could be forgiving since Queen had been injured and was disorientated. "You are in the Library." The Cat looked smug as he spoke. "The leather quiver is a bookmark. Patrons use it to communicate with the other beings here."

"The Library?" Thea was still pretty dazed from the landing and it showed. But she took a closer look at the quiver and realized it was indeed a bookmark. "Ok, the idea of a quiver as bookmark is pretty neat." she cracked a tiny smile. But then she finally asked,"Are any of my friends or family here?"

"The Library is a place where all realities meet." It was a simple explanation but a more complicated one could wait until Queen had recovered fully from her experience. "I'm glad you approve." There was a hint of amusement in his voice as he flicked his tail into a question mark shape. "Felicity Smoak is here. There is also another patron from your world named Barry Allen."

Thea looked a little brighter at the Cat's news about Felicity being here. And while she had only known of Barry she was happy for another one from home being around as well. "So I'm among friends, good news. So now what once I'm off this floor?" she asked. She also wanted to ask how The Cat knew who she was looking for but decided that could wait at least for now.

Tipping his head, the Cat looked at her in amusement. She would start feeling more like herself soon. Mostly it was shock that would bother her now that the injuries had been dealt with. He could clear away that effect as well but sometimes it was easier for a being to go through some reactions than for a Librarian to meddle too much. "You could find your friend or you could select the quarters that you wish to use while you're here."

Thea liked having a plan of action, it kept her mind from spinning out of control. "Ok, that I can handle. First thing is to find Felicity and Barry and to find proper quarters and some clothes not covered in blood." reaching for her gear. "Not going to shoot you either." knowing the arrows could make people touchy. But now that the worst of her wounds was healed she was more in shock but would recovery quickly, the fact she was breathing a little easier was a good sign.

His body language conveyed smugness flipped his tail toward Queen. "You could try shooting me but you would not like the result." Stretching, he arched his back before standing. "I would make a poor guardian if a simple arrow could damage me. There is a gateway that leads to a market where you can obtain clothing and supplies." Glancing at the blood on her clothes, he trilled thoughtfully. "Or Ms. Smoak or Mr. Allen can obtain them for you."

The locals might not approve of someone wandering the streets covered in blood. "I do not keep track of all of the patrons movements but I can show you a few locations where your companions might be."

"I'll take possible locations for the moment then finding clothes." Thea decided that was the most rational option for the moment. Plus the sooner she could lose the blood soaked clothes the better off she would be (and hopefully feel since things were still a little tricky).
