Blades & Blood

Chapter 19

Laurel was waiting for Lena, it was just after James decided to send her down to Star city for protection. She was waiting with Slade and Malcolm. 

"I'm bored," Laurel said.

"Really?" Malcolm sighed. 

"Yes, it's been like 30 minutes," Laurel said. 

"It might be a while, why don't you go find Tommy or Frost," Malcolm said. 

"Okay," Laurel said, heading out. 

First, she tried to find Tommy. She managed to find out from one of the bodyguards in the hall where he went. 

When she found him though, he was kissing Veronica. 

"Ahh! Never mind I'll talk to you later!" Laurel said, walking away. 

She went to find Frost, but when she got there, Frost was making out with Alex. 

"Why!" Laurel said, walking away. She could hear them both laughing. 

When she got back to the front room where Malcolm and Slade were. 

"Yeah, both of my bodyguards are occupied," Laurel said. 

"Doing what?" Malcolm asked. 

"We'll Tommy's making out with Veronica, and Frost is making out with Alex," Laurel said. 

"Well damn, Veronica and Tommy, huh?" Slade said, laughing. 

"Stop laughing Slade, it isn't funny, that's my son," Malcolm said. 

"Okay, fine," Slade said.

Suddenly, Thea came running in, actually tripping over a chair. 

"What now?" Laurel asked. 

"Is it true that Alex and Frost are dating?" Thea asked out of breath. 

"Um... Yes," Laurel said. 

"And Tommy and Veronica?" Thea was slightly wide-eyed. 

"I don't know, how did you find this out?" Laurel asked. 

"The bodyguards in the hall told me," Thea said. 

"Thea! Stop turning my men into gossiping little girls!" Malcolm said. 

"Haha, no!" Thea yelled, running out. 

"Oh my god," Malcolm muttered. 

"I'm just gonna stay in here, or I might find my sister making out with Barry," Laurel said. 

Slade laughed and said, "You can stay here and wait with us."

It took another hour before the van with Lena and her kids arrived.  In that hour, Alex arrived in the front hall to wait, but Laurel didn't say anything to her. 

"We were hit on the way over," Lena said, rushing in. 

"Are you alright?" Malcolm asked. 

"Yeah, we lost a few men though," Lena said. 

"Damn," Malcolm muttered. 

"You must be Laurel," Lena said, turning to her. 

"What about me?" Alex said.

"Sorry Alex, it's good to see you," Lena said. 

"Laurel can show you to the Lance apartment, where you'll be staying," Malcolm said. 

Laurel waved at Lena's 2 kids. The slightly older one his behind Lena, while the younger one waved at Laurel. 

"Come on this way," Laurel said, showing them out of the main room.
