In Two Minds

Sun Kissed Dreams

Quinn settled into the sun lounger and smiled at the feeling of tropical sun on her skin, the biggest perk of being able to teleport yourself anywhere she had discovered was being able to escape anywhere whenever you needed to.

Stress back home had sent her here, relaxing on a Caribbean sun-kissed beach away from everything and everyone.

Forgetting them all had been easy she had discovered, she had been hanging out here for two weeks with no sign of any interruptions or stress.

"Hmm, peace and quiet."

Assigned with the task of bringing the biggest weapon in Oliver Queen's arsenal against Slade Wilson, Sara stood by the beach bar and took in the view of the woman stretched out on the lounger.

Long sun-kissed legs extended out forever and a day, slim waist and two pert breasts poked slightly out of the top of her bikini, her head flung back making her sculpted neck visible, long black hair cascading down around her head.

It was common knowledge that Quinn Wilson had disowned her father, Oliver was convinced Sara could convince her to join their side and force Slade to back down.

At this moment in time Sara was having a hard time not agreeing with logic, how had she never noticed how attractive Quinn Wilson was? Had she always been this way or was it the influence of booze and afternoon sun that was forcing Sara to see something she had previously been blinded to?

"Maybe this won't be so dire after all." With a rueful smirk, she drank the last of her cocktail and prepared herself.

"Here goes nothing."

Quinn was startled by a shadow looming over her blocking out the sun, turning around she looked up, easing down the sunglasses that had protected her eyes from the reigns of heat.

Sara's heart almost stopped at the sight of those dark blue eyes, partially hidden by the shades.

"The answer is no." Replacing the glasses Quinn returned to her activity of doing nothing aside from soaking in the peace, leaving Sara standing shocked wondering what had happened to the girl who had found it so hard to form even the simplest sentences in front of her.

"This is a coincidence us taking a vacation in exactly the same place." Sara tried to brush off the initial shock and return her bravado.

"Yeah, it doesn't have anything to do with my father creating shit again right?" She never opened her eyes.

"I'm staying out of whatever reason it is you were sent here."

"So looks like someone grew up." Sara laughed taking the lounger next to Quinns, she wasn't going to give up.

"Funny things happen when life shits on you."

"Maybe."

Silence passed for long moments between them Quinn still disinterested in her presence she had worked hard to forget her childish love for Sara Lance, she couldn't be brought back now especially when she wanted something from her. Or more importantly Queen did, Sara was here because she had been told to be here nothing else.

"You are wasting your time Lance the Femme Fatal role doesn't work on me."

"So you think I could pull it off then?" Sara teased moving closer.

"I guess if people like pushy blondes."

" And you don't? "

Quinn turned her head to look the blonde in the eyes. "I was cured of my affliction."

"Ouch, that hurts."

"It is what it is."

Sara pursed her lips and began to think, Quinn's mind seemed made up but there was something about the woman that drew her to her, she was attractive, stunningly so, but there was something else she seemed to know her own mind and she seemed immune to her charms.

"Listen give up I'm not going back with you, I'm going as far away from that city and my father as I can get."

Abruptly she stood startling the blonde for a moment.

"Bye Sara."

Being the one to walk away instead of the sap left watching with a heavy heart felt kinda good, Quinn cracked a smile as she retreated to her room exaggerating her walk just a little for added dramatic effect.

She knew Sara wouldn't give up so easily, somewhere deep inside where the Quinn lived who was still hopelessly in love with Sara Lance cried a happy song at being pursued by the woman who had been such a prime feature in her dreams for so long.

"Hey wake up."

With a start Quinn woke, a handshaking her clasping it she clenched down hard on the limb, an old habit to trust no one, looking up she was met by the uncertain gaze of Alex Danvers.

Letting go of her hand, almost red-faced. "I'm sorry old habits die hard."

Alex rubbed her hand, it stung from being squeezed by the woman. Why do I think she was actually going easy on me?

" You were dreaming. "

"Yes."

" The same Sara as Sara Lance? " Alex asked cautiously sitting in the chair next to the dark haired woman, she'd needed a little break away from sitting with Kara and on her walk around had noticed Quinn fast asleep.

Quinn cursed herself, why did she have to talk in her sleep?

"Yes, same one."

" So you do know her. " Alex was curious about how the two women knew each other, Quinn seemed so unlike anyone Sara would know, or maybe it was the other way round.

"It seems like a million years ago now." Quinn sighed sadly. " Maybe it was, but back on Earth one Sara and I..we...we were kinda dating. " Rubbing the back of her neck the blue-eyed woman looked into sympathetic tired brown ones.

"She proposed the night before she died, so in a strange way we were engaged too."

Alex stared wide-eyed at the other woman. Engaged!

"So you two were in love?" Was an assassin capable of love?

Quinn smiled, how could she explain what she had felt for her? How when she died so had the sun, she was her everything and yet she had been her destruction.

" She is still the love of my life, there won't ever be another. "

Alex tried to ignore the pang of hurt, the feeling of comradery with the forlorn woman and also guilt. I slept with the love of your life.

"How is your sister?" Quinn changed the subject abruptly catching Alex off guard.

" Still the same. "
