Speedy and The Canary

You Could've Died(Laurel's POV)

Summary: After 4x14 Team Arrow vs. The Demolition Team, the first battle. Right after Thea runs out the crumbling building. 

"Speedy!" I yell as run toward the red hooded vigilante who lays on the pavement. 

As soon as I'm in arm length, I slide down on the pavement towards her. 

"You okay?" I ask loudly over the sound of the building collapsing. 

Thea nods her head. I quickly I pull on her arm to get up, she jumps up to her feet and stumbles. I start running toward our van, dragging Thea behind me. Oliver opens the door of the van. 

"Get in!" He screams over the sound of incoming police and firefighters. 

I run faster, making sure that we aren't spotted by the authorities. I jump in, while Thea collapses inside. John quickly pulls off, jerking all of us in the back of the van. I pull Thea into my lap. 

"I thought I'd lose you." I whisper in Thea's ear as I tighten my grip on her. 

Thea mumbles something in response, and pats my leg gently.

"You should be fine. Just a couple cracked ribs and bruises. No concussion, but you're gonna have on hell of a headache." John says as he snaps his medical gloves off.

"Yay, a headache. And it's not even from a good night of partying." Thea jokes. 

I scoff angrily. Of course, just throwing around jokes, pretending she almost didn't get crush. I throw Thea's jacket at her face. I turn and begin to walk away. 

"I'm heading home." I say over my shoulder as I make my way out the lair. 

"Weren't you my ride home?" Thea questions as she gets off the table. 

I turn and glare at her, John and Oliver quickly looking anywhere but us. 

"I'm sure you can find your on way home." I say before continuing my way out.

I'm sitting on the couch, sporting a glass of wine when I hear the sound of keys unlocking the door. 

"So, you've had about an hour to yourself. You ready to tell me what's wrong?" Thea questions as she sits down next to me. 

"You've had about an hour to yourself as well, you telling me you don't know what's wrong?" I scoff back. 

"You're mad that I went back for the laptop." Thea states. 

"And the winner is, Thea Queen." I announce sarcastically.

"Laurel, I did what I had to do." Thea answers. 

"What you did, was almost get yourself killed." I say angrily as I get up off the couch and make my way to the kitchen, 

"Oliver or John would've done the same thing, I did the right thing!" Thea screams as she she follows me to the kitchen. 

"Did you even think about what could've happened? You could've gotten seriously injured, or worse, you could've died!" I scream as I uncork the bottle of wine. 

"Oh, I'm sorry! I was just trying to help protect this city, isn't that what we signed up to do?" Thea yells. 

"I didn't sign up to watch the love of my life die!" I scream at her.

Thea quickly closes her mouth shut. 

"Don't you get it, Thea? I can't lose you again. You've almost died twice, I don't think I can take a third time." I say as tears start build up in my eyes. 

"Laurel, I didn't know. I'm never gonna leave you." Thea whispers as she walks towards me. 

"I don't think you can control that, Speedy." I say as wipe the tears running down my cheeks. 

Thea takes my face into her hands softly. She quietly wipes the tears and places her forehead on mine. 

"I'll always be in your heart and mind, ok?" Thea says.

"Ok." I answer
