Thanks to the efforts of Irving and his companions, they managed to save Starling City, albeit just barely. However, they were unable to rescue everyone; they merely ensured that Starling City was not completely destroyed. Once they confirmed that Sophia had left, Irving finally let out a sigh of relief.

Numerous wounds covered them as a result of the recent battle, but the intensity of the fight had prevented them from noticing until now. None of the three—Irving, Aron, or James—spoke; they all needed time to rest and regain their strength.
