As we made a toast to me, I was so happy to have a team. No, they were a family. A big, mixed race, often insane and stubborn family.

"Now what does the Canary like to do in her free time" Thea asked me

"I don't know. We never had that much and if we did, I slept" I was honest

They all laughed.

"Hey what happened with Laurel's body. I'm so sorry I couldn't make the funeral" I said thinking back to her

"Well you know, she was buried, right next to you" Diggle said

"Diggle!" Thea shouted and slapped his arm.

"She wanted the truth!" He said

"I'm sorry Sara. Laurel was an amazing friend and I can't even think what a great sister she would have been to you" Thea said. "When her time came, she was buried next to you. We thought it would be what you would have wanted" Thea said punching his arm a bit more.

I just nodded and mouthed 'thank you' as I tried to hold back the tears. What is with me. Crying twice in the run of a week is my new record.

I really didnt have any other place to sleep so Felicity helped me make a bedroom out of the back room no one used. It was small, but cozy. I had a bed, a small dresser, a rack for my clothes and a lamp.

When she left, I lay down in my bed and thoight of everything. My father seen right through me. He knew my secret but I kept denying it.

I had the feeling he would be downtown at my favourite Chinese restaurant. Laurel used to send me the occasional Gideon message from Star Labs about how he went there when he was either confused or missing me.

I put in some earbuds and fell asleep. I would go see him there tomorrow at lunch. And if he was not there then dinner. Of course he would talk about the girl in white. I would just have to avoid that topic.

I woke up, put on a bit if mascara and brow dip and changed. Pulling my hair up, I looked as good as I could without putting effort into my look.

I took my old bike and helmet as I drove to meet my father at Cho Ming's (The restaurant). Of course he was there, sitting at the bar.

"Daddy?" I asked looking at him

"Sara honey" He said standing up to hug me as I ran to him "Oh my go I thought you were dead!"

"I wasnt. I was just... travelling through time with some friends. I'm just glad I came back to his timeline to see you. For good this time!" I said trying to keep my Ta-er al-Usfar side a secret.

I ordered for the both of us and then turned my chair to face him.

"I went to visit Laurel this morning" He said

"I was planning on going this afternoon. Maybe you wouldn't mind coming with me?" I asked

"I would love to but I have to get back to the station" He said

I heard a loud bang and grabbed the knife standing up. Then I realized it was something from outback

"You alright sweetheart" He asked

"Yeah. Can I ask you something though?"

"Anything"

"Do you know who the arrow is. Or any of his allies are"

"Only that Harper kid is the man in red. I don't know the girl or the arrow"

"We call her speedy and him arsenal" I said

"Yeah. It seems yyou've gotten closer with that crowd" He said.

"We never stopped. I am just helping Felicity now because after all the time travel i feel weaker." I lied. "But either way, it just doesn't feel the same with Laurel not around. I just feel like I should walk into the arrow cave and see her with Felicity and all the others" I said sipping my drink.

He grabbed my wrist and pushed it down, forcing me to lay off the alcohol.

"Sara honey. You're sister did great things. And we tried everything to get her back. It just didn't work out for anyone. I know she would want you to know that she was trying to honour you when she saved the city" He said

"Thanks daddy" I said as our meal came.

When he had to go back to work, I left as well headed for the graveyard. He didn't talk about the girl in white. Something was up.

I walked over to where my headstone was and seen Laurel's right next to it.

I sat down on the grass and started to cry.

"I am so so sorry Laurel" I sobbed. "I know you can't hear me but it shouldn't have ended this way. It should have killed me. Not you. And the worst part is that I could have saved you. And I would have done everything I would have had to do to see you alive. Just one last time" I said.

"Hey" Ollie said meeting me.

"Three times this week" He said

"Shut up" I punched him. And hard.

"Ow! I am not getting on your bad side" He said. I laughed a but but it was taken over by sadness.

"Sara." Oliver tried to comfort me.

"No Ollie. I can't be comforted. I just can't. I really need to be alone" I said walking away.

I hopped on my bike and drove to my old hang out where Sin and I would hide from the police.

As I walked up the stairs, I seen Sin there.

I knocked on a piece of steel.

"Hey" I said.

"Sara! I missed you!" She said hugging me. "Wait aren't you dead?" she asked me

"Yeah. Long story. Can we talk?" I asked pulling over a chair
