A few days later Sara was walking down the street and she could feel someone following her. She turned down the alley and hid behind a trash dumpster until the person passed her and then she jumped out and said, "What are you doing here Nyssa?"

"Father told me to come here and keep an eye on you and your friends." Nyssa said.

"Why would he want to keep an eye on me now that he has released me?" Sara asked.

"I guess it would have something to do with how Malcolm Merlyn turned out." Nyssa said.

"I see. What have you determined so far?" Sara asked.

"Looks like you are doing good here. I will report back that you have not dishonored the league." Nyssa said.

"Thanks. So how long are you here for?" Sara asked.

"I don't really have a timetable. I think until father knows for sure that he can trust you." Nyssa said.

"Ok, does he want to know anything about anyone else?" Sara asked.

"He asked me to keep an eye on Oliver Queen as well. I don't understand why though." Nyssa said.

"Seriously Nyssa. It is plane to see why he sent you here." Sara said.

"And what is it that you think I am really here for?" Nyssa asked.

"Your father wants you to spy on Ollie so that he will know how skilled he is." Sara said.

"Yes, I know that. You must that there is something else." Nyssa said.

"I do and I am sorry to say this but we both know that your father will never let you be Ras. He is looking for an heir." Sara said.

"I hate to say this, but you are probably right. I know that is why my sister left the league and made her own path." Nyssa said.

"Well, I have a idea. If you are interested." Sara said.

"I am intrigued. Tell me of your plan." Nyssa said.

"First of all, we know that your father is most likely looking for a new heir. You can tell him that you need more time to spy on Oliver and then we can both train Oliver to possible beat your father in a fight. After it is over, you can decide if you want to be the new Ras or let someone else be." Sara said.

"That is actually a very good plan. I think that I can work with that plan." Nyssa said.

"Ok, do you have anywhere to stay?" Sara asked.

"There are league houses in the city. I will just go to one of them. Here is my number. Give me a call when you are ready to start Oliver's training." Nyssa said.

"I will. See you later." Sara said.

Sara then walked toward Verdant to go in the lair to see if Oliver was there yet. When she saw that he was there she said, "Hey Ollie, I just had a visitor."

"Who was this visitor and what did she want?" Oliver asked.

"Her name is Nyssa and I think she could help us with our next big bad." Sara said.

"How is that?" Oliver asked.

"She is the best I have seen with a sword other than Ras himself. She can help get you ready." Sara said.

"I am willing to take all the help that I can get. What's her deal anyways?" Oliver asked.

"She is Ras's daughter, but she knows that her father will never let her run the league, so she is willing to help you if in return you let her decide who the next Ras will be." Sara said.

"Sounds like a good plan. Set up the training. I can use all the help I can get with a sword. That is one thing that I never really got training for while I was gone." Oliver said.

"I will call her right now. When do you want to start?" Sara said.

"As soon as possible." Oliver said.

Sara picked up her phone and called the number that Nyssa had given her and set up the training for the next night. When she was done with the call Sara went to change into workout close and came out and she and Oliver began to work on his sword work.

The next night the whole team was in the lair when there was a knock on the back door to the basement. Sara went to open it to see Nyssa standing there. "Thank you for helping me work on use a sword." Oliver said.

"It is not a problem. It actually benefits the both of us. You get rid of someone who might come after you or your city one day and I get to decide who runs the league." Nyssa said.

"Ok, lets get started then." Oliver said.

He and Nyssa got on the mat and started training with swords. The others watched for a while until they knew that it was time to go out on patrol. Nyssa was surprised at how quickly Oliver was picking up everything.

"I am impressed. You are picking this up very quickly. You will only get better though. You will be trained personally by my father once he comes and offers you to be his heir." Nyssa said.

"How long do you think it will be before he comes here to make the offer?" Oliver asked.

"I will say probably six months or so. I will give him false reports so that he will not be here before then." Nyssa said.

"So, what should I expect once I except his offer?" Oliver asked.

"They will try to break your mind so that my father can remake you in his image. Once that is done, he will train you. If you pick up on his training like you are doing with me, you stand a pretty good chance of beating him." Nyssa said.

"Looks like I have a lot to look forward to. Anyways, let's get back to work. I need to be at the top of my game to be able to stand a chance at beating your father." Oliver said as the continued sword training for another hour before they both left for the night.
