Mia Dearden, also known as Speedy, is a martial artist being mentored by Oliver Queen. Mia was fighting in an underground fight club when she was suddenly forced to leave by an intimidating man named Rick . Oliver, who had witnessed Mia's fight, decided to follow her and discovered that she was a forced prostitute and that Rick was her handler. Oliver sought her out and made a proposal to make her a better fighter and get out of her life on the streets. At first she was reluctant to the idea, but ended up accepting. Oliver turned her into his driver and then, she stole his car to pay back Rick, but he was not willing to let her go.
Two years later and Oliver hadn't kept in touch with Mia because he was busy with his own life and after he married Chloe he didn't have time to deal with her so he pawned her off to Black Canary, who even if she took Mia under her wing she didn't want her own sidekick either. Later, Oliver talks to Chloe about the possibility of Mia Dearden become his sidekick. Just then she reveals to Oliver that she is pregnant.
Mia, finally adopting the persona of Green Arrow's protege, Speedy, is seen alongside Black Canary in Seattle. They proceed to stop an attempt of armed robbery as part of their duties as members of the Justice League. At some point Chloe and Dinah Lance convinced Mia to join Jay Garrick's school. When Doctor Phosphorus escapes from the prison Superboy appears and engages into a fight with him. When Phosphorus sets a Ferris wheel on fire, Megan Morse, Blue Beetle, Speedy, Zan and Jayna, who along with Superboy are all members of Jay Garrick's team, surprisingly appear and Megan says he must go and save the kids on the wheel and leave Phosphorus to them.
