| The Dark Life Of Laurel Lance | slow updates

The League

Laurel Lance's POV

I had to use 5 tranquilizers on Malcolm. We landed at Nanda Phabet. I unchain Malcolm but I chain his hands together and drag him in front of me off the planG.
I pay the pilot and told him he never flew he here and I looked as I saw him take off.
"Laurel, please no, please!!" Malcolm is tugging at his chains trying to run but with his injury's and Laurels strength it didn't do anything.
When I arrive at a big door too men dressed like Malcolm take out their swords and demand me to answer why I'm here.
"I'm Laurel Lance, I'm bring a league warrior who broke the league law, he goes by the name the magician. I will like to speak to your master Ras Al Ghul. Also tell him I come from Moira Queen's behalf as well" I say sternly.
One of them goes inside, a few minutes later a dark hair woman wearing black and red armour comes out.
"I'm Nyssa Al Ghul daughter of Ras Al Ghul and I will bring you and the magician to my father" she says while she grabs Malcolm.
"Thank you!" I respond
We walk through loads of halls. This place is massive, I see loads of people training, then we step into a big hall which I assume is the main hall. A man in a cloak is standing there watching people training with swords. He put his hands up and they all stop at the same time.
He turns around and looks at Nyssa then Malcolm then Me.
"Nyssa daughter, how did you get the magician?"
"I did not father, this lady brought him here, she says her name is Laurel Lance and she's also here with Moira Queen's behalf" Nyssa explains.
He walks towards me a few feet away.
"And what would you Ms. Lance like in return for giving us this traitor"
"I will like you to train me, train me to not feel hurt again, train me to be strong, that's all I ask for"
He stays quiet for a bit.
"Before I agree I will like to see if you change your mind"
I nod at him.
"Nyssa bring Ta-er al-Sahfer"
His daughter nods and leaves the room.
"Ms. Lance why do you want me to train you?"
"I lost my five year old child. I don't know what I want anymore except one thing, I want to feel strong, I don't want to be weak anymore!"
He nods his head. Just in time Nyssa walks in with a person wearing the full League gear, when the person turns around to look at me she stops in her track.
"Please remove your hood Ta-er al-Sahfer"
The person slowly removes his hood and face mask.
I freeze
No!
Way!
"Sara?" I whisper, I look at her then back at Ras.
"Now Ms. Lance let's do this again. We will get the prisoner and I'll free your sister. You and her may leave this place and never come back or be a part of it or we can go back to your original trade"
I look at Sara, she looks good, then I look back at Ras, I turn my head and see Malcolm beside me and it reminds me why I'm truly here.
"I will like to stick with my original trade!"
I can see in the corner of my eye Sara looks confused and angry.
"Okay it is official. Laurel Lance you will know start your League training tomorrow. My daughter will show you to your room and will brief you in about the League, my daughter will help you develop in this new environment and I will personally train you!" Ras explains.
"Thank you" I respond
Nyssa stand in front of me.
"You can follow me" she starts walking, I look back at Sara then turn around and follow my Nyssa.

After Nyssa showed me around she said I should relax in my room.
I am currently standing in the middle of my room looking around. My room had a double sized bed, with a balcony, with drinks and candles it was very cosy. They gave me this room because of me capturing Malcolm.
I hear my door open, I turn around and see a fuming Sara running at me next thing I know is I'm up against a wall with Sara hand tight around my neck.
"Hey, sis!" I say with a smile
"What the hell is wrong with you? What are you doing here?" Sara spits at my face
"I think you saw enough to know!" I remark
"No Laurel, your meant to be normal, have a normal life not come here and train to be an assassin, hunting assassin's down"
My eyes go wide.
"You don't know, do you?" I ask her
"Know what!" She tighten her grip on my neck
"What's been going on in Star City especially with The Lance and Queen family's!"
My sister looks confused.
"What are you not telling me" she loosens her grip, I take this opportunity to push Sara off me. She stumbles back.
"You were an Aunt Sara!"
My sister eyes go wide
"I'm an Aunt what- what"
"I was pregnant when you and Oliver left. I had a Baby Girl.
I named her after you.
Dinah Sarah Queen Lance!"
We both have tears in our eyes.
"What the hell are you doing here then if you have a dau-" I can see it dawned on Sara.
She points at me while she speaks.
"You said ' I was an Aunt' like past tense. No No No Laurel please tell me its not true PLEASE!"
I look up at Sara with tears in my eyes
"Yes Sara it's true"
At that Sara falls to her knees, tears streaming down her face.
"How??"
"The Undertaking, a building fell on her. 503 people are dead" I respond
"That's why your here?"
"Yes and also because I had to finish a favor" I answer.
Sara stands up and walks to me, she puts her hands on my shoulder giving them a squeeze.
"Laurel No, this place is not a vacation, it's hell-"
I push Sara off agressively. "I know Sara, I know what I signed up for and you have no right to tell me what choices I make, so back off Sara last time I checked you've been dead for years!" I shout back at Sara.
Tears are steaming down Sara's face again.
"Laurel all I wan-" she doesn't finish her sentence because she blocked off by a punch to her face from me. She stares at me blankly.
"Don't you dare say 'Laurel all I want for you is a normal life' I tried a normal life Sara and you know what it sucks because first my sister goes on a boat with my boyfriend and they both die, then my mother leaves, then my Dad is not my Dad anymore, then I get pregnant with a dead man's kid, I also almost die from a car accident because all the reporters wanted to take pictures of my and my three month year old child, I also then find out my ex boyfriend is alive but my sister died at his watch but not once but twice, then I almost got kill by the Chinese triad, I also am targeted by an assassin, then my five year old child dies, then I torture Malcolm for a week and now here I am talking to my not so dead sister. Who thinks she can tell me what to do but guess what you can't and won't. You try make whatever deal you want with Ras I'm not leaving so we can be here together and become sisters again or you are just another assassin to me!"
There's an awkward silence between us.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know. I was young and stupid when I got on that boat. I never wanted to ruin your life. I should've been there. I should've been a better sister. I'm so sorry Laurel!"
I can't take this anymore, I legit slam my body against Sara's giving a bone crushing hug.
They stay like that forever.
Sara breaks the hug but keeps her hand on my shoulders.
"Wait how did you know about me dieing twice?"
"Oh yeah about that I might've black mailed Oliver with Baby Sara to ask if you survived. Soz"
We both laugh.
"Laurel I want to be your sister again, I want to be by your side, if you let me"
"I'll love that!"
They hug again.
"How did you capture Malcolm by the way?"
"The Hood was-" I cut myself off when I see Sara face go into a confused look.
"Oh yeah, there's a vigilante in Star City using bow and arrows with a green hood aka Oliver"
"Oliver?"
"Yep. Anyways he was fighting Malcolm, Oliver won he 'killed him' after I cried by Sarah's body I remember a police reporting saying the hood won the fight but I also remembered something moi- someone told me about you assassin and your tricks so I had to check his body and when I did he wasn't dead so I took him, got some answers for moi- someone then brought him here" I explain
"You tortured him?"
I don't make eye contact with Sara
"Yes"
"Laurel why"
I can hear her voice is soft like she understands.
"I needed answers also I was letting my anger out?"
"What answers"
"Answers about the undertaking, the league, the Gambit?"
"What you mean the Gambit?"
"Sara it wasn't a storm that made the Gambit sink"
"WHAT!"
"Malcolm put a bomb in the engine room and the storm was a cover up"
Sara doesn't say anything, she's just standing there processing everything.
"How did you find out about The League?" Sara asks trying to change the subject.
"From a friend!"
"Who?" I don't respond "Laurel WHO!"
"MOIRA!"
"What?"
"Yes, Moira and I were building up a case against Malcolm, so she told me everything!"
"That's why your here, this is the favor she asked you?" Sara asks
"Our original plan was to not bring him here but then the Undertaking happened and she agreed to what I was gonna do" I explain
"So you what, bring him here to his everlasting death while you become a fighter!"
"YES, I BROUGHT HIM HERE TO GIVE HIM THE SAME PAIN HES CAUSED ME!"
There's tension now between us, all you hear is our heavy breathing.
"Ok"
Ok?
"Laurel, I want to be here for you, you can shout at me, punch me, cry on me, I will help you train, I will help you heal, I will help you in The League, I want us to be sisters!"
"I'll really like that"
We both smile at each other.
"Sara, love your braides"
We both burst into laughter.
"Umm, Laurel?"
"Yes, sis?"
"Why did you name Baby Sarah after me, especially all the bad things I did?"
I have tears in my eyes, I slowly wraps my arms around my sister pulling her into a loving hug, I feel her wrap her arms around me too.
"Because I love my baby sister, no matter all the bad things she's done, also she reminded me of you"
"How did she remind you of me?" She whispers in my neck.
"She had your eyes, crystal blue!"
"Really" her voice cracks
"She also gave hugs like you"
"I'm sorry. She sounds amazing, I wish I got a chance to meet her"
I tighten my arms around her
"She loved you Sara, God she loved you, she would always ask questions about you and high school stories, she had a picture of you in her drawer, she always had to sleep with your shark Teddy, it was her dream to meet you. She loved you so much"
We're both crying, holding each other for dear life.
"Can you tell me more about her?"
"Yes, come on"
We break the hug, and lie down together holding each other in her arms. Sara's head is on my chest carefully listening to my heart beat.

The next couple of hours we spend hugging each other, crying and me sharing memories of Baby Sarah.
Now we're eating rich chocolate and drinking wine chatting away.
"So how did you end up here Sarbear?" I questioned.
"I was saved by Nyssa on Lian Yu. I was dieing from injuries, I was alone because I thought Ollie was dead. Nyssa came she took me in, helped me heal. Introduced her to her father, I joined to The League instead of dieing."
I can see the way she smile when talking about Nyssa.
"How long have you and Nyssa been a thing?" I asked popping more chocolate in my mouth.
"What - how - Me and Nyssa - pfft - HOW DID YOU KNOW?"
"Sara I'm your sister I know things. Also the way you blush and smile when you talk about her, it's kinda obvious"
We both laugh.
"Yeah I'm in love, we've been together for 3 years almost 4"
We both smile. I take her hands in mine.
"Tell me more" I encourage
"She's amazing Laurel. She's strong, fierce, brave, loving. Also the sex is AMAZING" we both burst into laughter " she's always there for me. She holds me while I cry, she's their when I wake up from nightmares, she taught me how to be strong. I love her Laurel, she's the love of my life, my final girl" Sara says with a proud smile, while I'm crying happy tears for my sister.
"Wow she really does sound amazing, come here" I open up my arms and Sara quickly crawls in and wraps her arms around me again. We're both grounding each other knowing it's going to be a rough road ahead.
