40| Disbanding the League

***

Laurel and I stood on top of a railing inside the and abandoned building that we managed to follow Nyssa too. This was the first time I had really worked with Laurel, the last time she was barely starting her training as the Black Canary and I could already see how much she has improved since then.

"I have eyes on Nyssa. Abandoned complex at 7th and Ruck." Laurel stated as we watched Nyssa and her men enter the room.

"Put the word out among our assets in Star City." Nyssa ordered as she walked into the abandoned building a couple of League members beside her. "Whoever leads us to Al Sa-Her will be rewarded handsomely."

"Keep her there. We're on our way."  We heard Oliver order us through our ear coms. Laurel and I shared a look as we jumped of the railing landing on our feet forcing Nyssa and her followers to stop in their tracks. 

"Nyssa, stop!" I ordered her as a cold look came across her features. 

"Step aside, Artemis, Laurel." My sister stated calm as if our presence was not even the smallest inconvenience to her plan.  

"No. I told you that I would not let you wage your war in my city." I told my sister and I would have never thought that I would see myself in the position where I thought that I would have to fight against my own sister again. Unlike Talia, Nyssa and I had always supported each other as we grew up with our father's cruel demands. So, the last thing I ever wanted to do was go against the person that I had grown up with. 

"I'm only finishing what he started, and I aim to end it swiftly."

"At what cost?" Laurel questioned as she took a step forward. "How many lives will you sacrifice for what?"

"I will only say this once more. Step aside." Nyssa commanded making it clear that she was not planning on standing down.

"No. You're coming with me." 

"Am I?" Nyssa questioned before we were surrounded by members of the League of Assassins. Apparently Laurel and I were not the only ones who had found Nyssa, Merlyn had too. "We're under attack!" 

"We have to get out of here." Laurel stated as she took a step forwards as she released one of her canary cries. I instinctively flinched from the ear piercing sound, but pushed through it as Nyssa and I put arrows to those who were able to recover.   

We then began to fight them hand to hand seeing that they were not planning on backing down. At some point in the fight Oliver and Diggle had also joined in helping us gain the upper hand. That gave us the advantage that we needed as Merlyn's men retreated running out of the warehouse. 

"Cowards just like their master." Nyssa said through gritted teeth as she turned to face us.  

"Sorry, sister." I told her as Oliver are up behind her, tranquilizer in hand. Although it wasn't something I wanted to do to her because I wanted to to come to reason on her own, I knew we had no other choice. 

"For what?" 

Oliver then injected the tranq on her shoulder, and the effect took over immediately as Nyssa almost fell limp on the floor before I was able to catch her. "For that."

I watched as Nyssa slowly woke up, the effects of the tranquilizer finally wearing off. Oliver asked be to attempt to talk some since into my sister, but I knew her well enough. She was just as stubborn as I was, and there was nothing that was going to make her back down from this fight.
