Tears of the Canary

Chapter Seven

Over the next several days, Laurel kept her distance from Sara and Nyssa. Even when the two went patrolling together, she was brief with the two women. She would say things like hello or goodbye. But every time she did it, she avoid looking in Nyssa's direction.
Then one night while patrolling, Laurel was taking on some thugs. They had over powered her and start to attack.
"Any final words before we kill you?" One of the thugs asked.
"Piss off!" Was Laurel's response and the guy raised his weapon in amttept to bash Laurel's head when an arrow zips by and slams the weapon into the wall.
"That was a bad shot." The attacker said.
"That was a warning shot." Laurel tells her attacker before she kicks him in the crotch.
As Laurel gets back to her feet, Sara zip lines down, then stands in front of her.
"Who are you?" A thug asked.
"Your worst nightmare." White Canary reply.
Nyssa zip lines down next, then stands in front of Sara with her bow drew back, ready to shoot the arrow that was loaded onto the bow.
"What took you so long?" Sara asked Nyssa.
"I had to make a pitstop." Nyssa said jokingly.
"I don't know who you two are, but I'm advising you to turn around." The thug said.
"And why should we do that?" White Canary asked.
"Because will kill you if you don't."
"You can try." Nyssa said.
There were seven thugs that had Laurel, Sara and Nyssa surrounded. Nyssa could take out one with an arrow from her bow before having to discard it and go for her sword, but if she drew her knife first, she could toss it first and take out another thug.
"Do guys have a plan at all?"Laurel asked. She was able to get up on her own when Nyssa and Sara showed up, but that didn't mean she wasn't in pain.
"We fight. That is if you can help." Nyssa stated.
"There's no way I'm sitting this out." Laurel tells Nyssa as the lawyer took out her night sticks and held them in a defensive position.
"Attack!" Thug shouted and they did as they were told.
Nyssa fired the arrow form her bow, taking out a guy holding a club. Wasting no time, she put her bow away and drew her knife form the sheath and tossed it, hitting a guy in the chest.
Sara ducks as a guy throws his fist at her. When she gets up, she nails him in the jaw with her staff then kicks a man in the gut that was standing behind her.
Laurel makes quick work of two more by knocking them down then knocking them out cold by clubbing them with her night sticks.
The last thug was smart since he bought a gun to a medieval fight. First he shoots Sara then Laurel. Nyssa was standing there with hands up in the air, hoping that the thug wouldn't shoot her next cause if he did there would be no way she could help Sara and Laurel.
"Now its your turn." The thug said and points the gun at the assassin, but before he can fire a single shot, an arrow zips by and knocks the gun out of the thug's hand. As he turns around to see the new threat, Nyssa unsheathes her sword and sneaks up behind the man, holding the blade to the man's throat.
"You better kill him cause if you don't, I will paint the streets with his blood." Nyssa told Arrow.
"Let him go." Oliver said calmly behind the hood. He was using the voice filter to disguise his voice from the thug.
"Why should I? He shot my friends." Nyssa says. Oliver knew that it was never easy to persuade Nyssa not kill someone. If he could do it Isabel would still be alive.
"I've listen to you before and I'm here begging for crumbs when I should be at home claiming what Belongs to me."
"You're friends will die if you don't help them." Arrow pointed out. Nyssa removes the sword from the man's throat and knocks the man out by clubbing him in the head with the hilt of the sword. Then she puts it back in the sheath and walks over Sara and picks her up. Then Oliver picks up Laurel and they return to the lair.
