No Escaping You

Facing the Demon

Nyssa stayed to help them out in finding that earth's Ra's al Ghul, it's not like she could say no to Sara. And it was nice to be able to spend some time with her again, despite the circumstances. She'll stay for as long as Sara needs her to. She's not the one who has to go back and save her friends anyway.

Sara took them to her safe house, which had been her base of operations since she started her own investigation. Rebecca was quite surprised at how much information Sara had amassed about the case, more than her own team had been able to since the case landed on their desks. And at the top of the crime board was the same name and question mark they had on theirs: Ra's al Ghul ?

Rebecca looked around at Sara's collection of weapons. Her guns, knives, bow and some other stuff that didn't look familiar to Rebecca. Damn, Sara really was in a whole different level for her, and she was from a whole different world.

Rebecca watched them interact and listened on as Sara caught Nyssa up on the leads of the case. They talked about it like it was an everyday thing for them, more everyday than her, a cop, and her team, who deals with those sorts of things for a living, but it wasn't an ordinary case was it. It's probably the biggest and hardest case they've had to date, and other than the fact that after months of investigation they're nowhere near on closing it; Rebecca has a feeling those two has some more insight about it that they haven't shared that would make it as bizarre as them being from another earth.

"What more aren't you telling me?" She finally asked.

Sara and Nyssa both turned to Rebecca, pausing their conversation.

"I haven't told her about the pit." Sara said to Nyssa. "I don't know if it exists here."

"Let's hope not, because on our earth, the one on Nanda Parbat wasn't the only one; but it's better to be prepared for the worst." Nyssa replied.

"Okay. So, on our earth, there was a man, known as Ra's al Ghul, head of the demon, who had lived for about a century and a half, leading an organization of trained assassins, whose ultimate goal was to keep balance in the world, hunting down and killing those who are a threat to it. Despite the thousands of deaths Ra's and the league have caused, they still abide by a deep code of honor."

"You're saying the one here doesn't?"

"My father may have been cold, cruel and ruthless, but he never sought to harming innocent lives." Nyssa offered in remembrance of her father. They may not have had the best relationship, but his honor and adherence to his code was something she had always looked up to. She had always wanted to be like him, but meeting Sara and having lost her, made her want to be better.

"And what do you mean by lived for more than a century? He's immortal?"

"My father's dead, so no. He had access to magical healing waters called Lazarus pit giving him longevity." Nyssa gave Sara a side glance, both looking back at Sara's own experience with the pit.

"What if there's one here?"

"Then we deal with it." Sara replied, there was nothing more they could do if there is one there. She knew with the look in Rebecca's eyes that she doesn't have to emphasize how bad things could be.

"What if it's him?" Nyssa asked the burning question to know where everyone stands on the matter.

"Whoever it is, he's not my father. I don't know him, so he'll never be my father. It doesn't matter who it is, they're harming countless girls, children. We take them down no matter what." Rebecca replied, adamant with her stand. She spent her entire life trying to let go of that horrid past of hers, and nothing, not even the possibility of knowing her real father could make her want to revisit that. For all she knows, he was the same person that got her in the situation she was in when she was little. She wants nothing to do with him, other than bring him to justice for what he has done.
