Quinn Wilson is scarred and damaged, heartbroken and plagued with guilt because of the lose of the woman she loved, but long before that being the daughter of Slade Wilson and Adeline Kane will do things to a person.
Fate has bigger plans than she...
A few weeks had passed since their first date, and while they hadn't passed that point of actually sleeping together yet Quinn and Alex were enjoying the beginnings of their relationship.
Which was why Quinn hated having to have this meeting, it would mean she would have to leave for a short time.
The bar was quiet tonight, she could hear the rustle of her leather jacket over the music from the jukebox, her glass of water sat ominously before her. No booze for me tonight.
She needed all of her wits about her if she was going to plead her case, would they accept that she had found someone she really liked and wanted time to get to know her? Probably not.
She thought back to the night before how they had spent hours just watching movies on Alex's couch making out, being with her was beginning to become something Quinn almost yearned for.
What is it with these guys and bad timekeeping?
Suddenly the door to the bar opened, Quinn didn't bother turning around to look seconds later a slim blonde woman sat opposite her.
"Your not the usual guy." Noticing her lack of disguise. Why did he have one but not her?

" No well, I'm less mysterious. "
Quinn raised her eyebrow, she was confused.
"We have an important request, this one would require you work as part of a team."
Instantly Quinn loathed the idea. "No way I work alone."
" We've been impressed with how you've worked with the D.E.O this will be perfect for you. "
"How long will it take?" She was annoyed already.
" Just a few days. "
A few days didn't sound so very bad, she could sneak back without anyone noticing when she wanted to see Alex.
"You will leave tonight, be aboard the Waverider by 18:00 Captain Lance will have your mission details."
Alarm hit her.
"Wait, Lance, as in Sara Lance no way in hell am I doing this mission." Quinn's hands waved in front of her in protest.
" Yeah your not the first person to react this way about her, but the decision is made, do the mission then you can return here when you are finished. "
"I really think I'm wrong for this one."
" No you are perfect, 18:00 don't be late. " With that, the blonde left leaving Quinn staring after her in total and utter disbelief.
"This has to be a joke." Sinking down the table she laid her head on the table on mourned what she would have to do, but first, she needed to tell Alex. That should be fun.

The worldkillers were still roaming free causing chaos Quinn felt guilty about leaving even if it was just for such a short time.
"What's up with you, not happy about meeting up tonight?" Alex smiled looking up from her microscope.
" I wish I have to cancel, I have to go away for a few days. "
Alex's smile turned downward. "A mission?"
Quinn nodded moving closer to her, she wanted to feel her near her be as close to her now while she could. "So is this goodbye?" Please don't be.

" Goodness no, it's an I'll see you in a few days I'm gonna miss you like crazy. "
"You are such a charmer." Alex finally lets out a smile, she had been so worried this was it, the goodbye she had been dreading.
"Only for you." Quinn winked flirtatiously.
" I've been thinking about that. " Alex whispered cautiously. "I know we haven't said anything about seeing other people or anything like that, but I would like it if it was just us, no one else."
" Of course, I'm not interested in anyone else. "
The truth felt good to say, there was something about Alex that was fulfilling, she couldn't imagine wanting anyone else, and she was damn sure she wasn't going to mess it up for a cheat fast fuck.
"Do we have time for a proper farewell?" Alex pondered.
" No, I have to be on the ship by 18:00, bosses orders. " I wish I could just stay with you forever.
"On the ship?"
" Yeah, the Waverider. "
Alex's eyes widened at the name. Sara's ship.
"That is..." She didn't get to finish Quinn nodded sadly in agreement confirming her belief.
"Oh." Quinn wouldn't be able to spend time with the woman who was her first and probably only love without falling for her all over again.
Quinn saw where her lover's mind was going, she wrapped her arms around her and held her close. "Don't go there Alex, it won't happen I'm coming back to you."
" But... "
"But nothing I promise you." tilting her chin up with her hand so their eyes met. " I think I'm falling for you really hard Alex. "
The words sounded like a heavenly choir to Alex, their lips connected hard as Alex wrapped her hands into Quinn's hair pulling her closer even when there was no room for her to move to they were as close as could be.
The door opened to reveal a very red-faced looking Winn. "Oh my God I'm so sorry!"
He bumped the door on his way out, leaving the two women laughing breathlessly behind him.
"So I'll see you when you get back." Alex smiled after they had composed themselves.
Quinn placing another kiss on her lips whispered. "You can bet on it."
