Italics- nogitsune's whispers/voices

Lydia

"You know what, I'm not going to ask," Oliver said, "If they're here terrorizing my city, I'm going to put them down." "You can't kill ghost," Lydia told him, lifting Felicity up, "At least it's good you guys got marked." "Guys," Diggle began, glancing at them, "can I have the room."

Lydia, Felicity, and Laurel all eyed each other and piled in the elevator. "What do you think is going to happen?" Felicity asked nervously. "Not good," she mumbled. When the elevator dinged to the top floor, they got out. "Felicity, can I borrow your jet?" Laurel asked. Felicity narrowed her eyes at her then shrugged, "Just stop by and get the keys," before she left.

"What do you need the jet for?" Lydia asked her. "We're going to Nanda Parbat," Laurel explained, "go pack, we're leaving tonight."

Lydia drove back to the loft she and Oliver were living in after Thea moved out and she was sitting on the couch, staring at fire place. Her duffel back was already packed and she was waiting for Laurel to call when there was knock at the door. She got up and opened it, letting the guest in.

"Nogitsune," Thea bowed her head. "Come inside," Lydia stretched, breaking her two faced emotions. "The Berserkers are complete. We will be ready when you are," she informed her. "Why does Kate know you're not Void?" Lydia asked, stepping closer. She could hear Thea's trembling breaths and she exhaled, "She was around when I called you." Lydia tilted her head, staring at her, "At least I had the voice changer on."

"The Oni are here," Thea told her and she nodded, "Are we going to take them like you did last time?" Lydia narrowed her eyes at her, "No, they'll keep them safe." Thea raised her head, waiting for another instruction. "Tell everyone you're going to see Roy and don't come back until I say so," Lydia told her and she nodded her head, leaving.

The moment Thea left, Lydia got a text to meet Laurel at the cemetery and she went there. The essence of death that was emitting in the cemetery made Lydia feel at home.

"Why are we here?" She asked, standing beside Laurel. Lydia looked down to see she had dug up a grave. When she looked at the tombstone, it was Sara's. Laurel jumped in the six foot ditch and opened the casket. Lydia flashed a light to see Sara's body and the gray skin was tightening against her bones.

"Help me," Laurel said, closing the box. Without questioning, Lydia jumped in the hole and helped Laurel lift the casket and into the trunk of the car. Lydia got in the passenger's seat and they started heading to the airport.

"Full support," she told her and Laurel nodded. Lydia was thinking she could put the nogitsune fly inside Sara's body and she would come back to life but she didn't want that to be even more chaotic than her plans.

Laurel pulled into the airport and they carried the casket into the jet, before taking a seat. Lydia leaned her head back as it took of and she wanted to blow up the plane. She opened her bag and took out a canteen of tea that had more lichen than before and she drank it.

"Have you told anyone?" Lydia asked her. "No. Oliver had a choice to save Thea and now I do," she explained. "And you brought me because of my friendly relationship with Malcolm," she figured and Laurel nodded. "And I needed company."

The jet landed smoothly in Nanda Parbat by day and the two got out, entering the sanctuary. Malcolm was sparring with Nyssa and other assassins and they stopped when they were seen.

"Lydia," Malcolm stretched her name. He would've called her the Banshee but she wasn't that anymore. "Ra's Al Ghul," she bowed with a smirk and Laurel was staring at her. "What do you need that you've came all the way here?" He asked, handing his sword to an assassin.
