Captain Jack I just had headcanon to explain the new promo pics for our line!

Thea's off crutches somewhat ahead of schedule but is wearing knee and ankle braces for a bit longer as a precaution more than anything else. As for why she's there its not her idea but as mayor's sister she figures its either show or cue more questions? And the cover story is a car accident in terms of injuries?

that works maybe they are also playing up the romance for the gossip rags to keep the heat off of Oliver.

That makes perfect sense! They have been mostly seen in and around NYC so far so time for long distance partner to "debut" in her world?

And their out is having to make the late train back?

yeah.

nods She's dreading this, she wants to hide till after the holidays in NYC with Matt. The wedding was one thing since she had an out but not this time, between everything she's dealing with post hospital. She's had maybe 2 weeks in terms of dealing with her demons post island and injuries?

And Matt is playing up the blind angle since FBI lady mentions seeing Daredevil around during the summer and might be trying figure out who it is.

At least one near crash with someone in the know like someone from the team or Dig that gets explained as an accident?

the most recent crossover was one of the few times he would have been in the armour during the daytime.

mostly because because its bullet proof but also because he knows the Richeman would have killed him straight up for being blind.

because Nazi's don't do things by halves

Thea was tucked away at the hotel since her knee was acting up in terms of pain, but there was some arrows zipping through during the final fight aka her being able to help in spite of injuries.

And does a week sound about right for being off crutches early?

A week sounds about right.

She'll still be in physical therapy once back in NYC I'm sure but being down to braces is a spirit boost.

And the visual of the New Yorkers mother henning Thea is priceless in my head.

I can see Jessica reading Matt the riot act "IT WAS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE A WEDDING YOU ASSHOLE, HOW DID NAZI'S SHOW UP."

Thea,"Once a year almost on cue a crisis happens, last year it was aliens!"

(And just realized this since she only met Alex pre wedding, what about Wally or would they have met last year?)

I don't think he was around during last year's crossover so I would say this was their first time meeting him too.

Pre wedding or during the dinner?

Dinner yeah

What a way to meet right? On crutches and less that 2 weeks out of the hospital.

And oh hey it's that blind guy everyone talks about and why is Cisco trying to swap dinner plates?

Because Cisco is still trying to screw with Matt.

But now its more funny tradition. (And as for team NYC I can totally see Karen and Colleen pushing Thea to a hair dresser almost right away as part spirit boost/part recovery tool).

You also think people like Wally, Alex and the newbies to the Legends would know Matt and Thea are a couple? They would also know the whole saga with Thea while the ones who don't need to know get the car wreck cover.

I think Wally is aware for sure because Iris might have mentioned them from time to time. Alex most likely not since Kara would have just seen him as the blind dude who kicks ass and who talked down the MIB using lawer jargon

Wally,"Nice to finally put a face to the stories."

I also had another thought overnight: I don't think Arrow has mentioned religion so I'm into the idea that Thea goes to service with Matt when she's in NYC, she knows how major his faith is and supports it plus she likes Father Lantom. And after they hear about Professor Stein they light a candle like all the New Yorkers did when Laurel was killed.

I can see that. I think Matt may have also had Father L say a prayer for him.

Thea knows its a way to properly mark him if anything else. She learned that after Laurel and NYC marking her like she was their own.

and I'm sure he keeps a close eye on Jax too.

Thea slipped Jax her cell number I'm sure, 3rd party ear. Different POV since Laurel was an emotional sister but she gets it.
