It had been a couple of weeks since Sara had left the team.  It would've almost been better if she went with.  She had begun to get quite restless in searching for Dahrk.  Oliver and the others were getting quite worried about her.  As she had also told them that not only has she lost Laurel but Snart as well.

After one of her outbursts, Oliver sighed a little looking at the team.  "I'll go after her."  John nodded.  "We have things covered here.  Oliver quickly exited the foundry and made it in time to catch up to Sara.  "Hey.."  He said in his usual quiet voice once his walk fell in step with Sara.  Sara glared at him.  "I'm not in the mood for talking Ollie.  You don't need to keep an eye on me twenty-four seven.  I just want some space.."  Oliver took a deep breath and nodded.  "I know that.  But I am worried about you."  Sara rolled her eyes slightly.  "I'm always going to worry about you.  Old habits are hard to break."  Sara gave a small smile.  "Oliver Queen..  Always has to save someone."  She muttered.  Oliver grinned a little.  He was curious as to what exactly happened on the mission, but he wouldn't push it.

He walked silently back to her apartment with her to make sure she stayed safe.  Though he was certain Sara could take care of herself.  Once she unlocked the door, she made her way into the apartment.  "Are you sure you'll be okay?"  He asked her.  She took a quick scan around and narrowed her eyes slightly.  She turned to look at Oliver.  "Yeah.  I'll be fine.."  He noticed she suddenly cringed with worry. "What's going on Sara.."  She took another scan around.  "I think someone was in here..."

"Sara.."  Hearing the other voice that wasn't Oliver's she whipped around slamming whoever the person was behind her against the wall.  Oliver watched closely not recognizing the man who she had pinned against the wall.  "Rip?"  She asked pulling back.  "What are you doing here?"  Rip sighed a little. That was the third time he'd been punked by Sara. 

Oliver raises his eye slightly.  "Rip?"  Rip turned to see Oliver standing protectively by Sara.  "I came to take you back on the team..."  He said.  Sara shook her head.  "I told you Rip.  I can't..."  She closes her eyes slightly.  Rip took a deep breath.  "Snart's alive Sara.  Vandal has him.  And we need your help to rescue him.  You may be the only one that can."

Oliver looked at Rip.  "Look..  She's already had enough.."  He began but Rip cut him off.  Sara closed her eyes her heart pounding fast.  Did she hear correctly?  Or was she suddenly dreaming all of this?  "No.  Ollie..  He would know..  Let me guess.  Just like with Laurel you knew all along..."  She said her voice starting to become horse.  He sighed a little.  "I'm a time master Sara..  And I told you from the beginning.  It's not good for you all to know too much about your futures.."

Sara sighed a little still on the fence.  She meant what she said.  She wanted to stay here and get revenge on Dahrk.  But if there was a chance Snart was alive and she could help save him...  She turned to look at Oliver.  "You go ahead.  We will take care of things here."  Rip watched the two of them.  "You will help keep an eye on my dad right?  Tell him I will return as soon as I am finished rescuing Leonard."  Oliver nodded.  "I will.  Of course."  He wrapped his arms around Sara giving her a hug.  "Good luck." He whispered giving a slight glare towards Rip's direction.

Sara let go giving Oliver one more look before turning to Rip.  "Ready."  She muttered.  Oliver followed Rip and Sara out of her apartment and watched as they made their way towards the wave rider.  "Goodbye Sara."  She turned slightly back towards him giving a small smile.  "Goodbye Ollie..."
