Sara's Decision

Chapter 30

It was now five months into the six-month time period that Oliver had to train to fight against Ras Al Ghul. He was now beating Nyssa on a regular basis and sometimes it wasn't even a competition. He was also getting really good at reading attacks and sometimes the team would try to surprise him by coming in from the side or behind him when he was not paying attention. He was able to stop all of those moves as well.

"You are ready to fight my father Oliver. At first, I thought that you would have to go undercover to let me father train you some more before you would be able to beat him. Now I know that you can just challenge him, and you will be alright." Nyssa said.

"Yeah Ollie. I am really impressed with how much you have improved. So, you have one more month and you are probably ready to go right now." Sara said.

"I wish I didn't have to wait for another month. I would like to get this over with. What are you going to do with the League if I win Nyssa?" Oliver asked.

"I haven't decided yet. I might talk to my sister and see if she would like to run it together." Nyssa said.

"That sounds good. So, what type of information have you been giving to your father in regard to me being ready?" Oliver asked.

"He does not know that I am training you. He thinks that I am here to watch you from the shadows and to see if you are a worthy heir to his thrown." Nyssa said.

Oliver decided to call it a night because he had been training for the last two hours and he was ready to go home and relax for a little while. When they got to the apartment, they saw Laurel and Tommy sitting on the couch watching a movie.

"Looks like you guys are making time for each other. I am glad that you have found a way to make this work." Sara said.

"Yeah, we have enough people on the team that it allows us to have some time off sometimes." Laurel said.

"Yeah it is good that you are taking sometime off or the relationship will not work out." Sara said.

"Oh, and Laurel, I still want you to know that the position that I offered you not to long ago is still available. It would give you even more time with each other." Oliver said.

"What position is that?" Tommy asked never having heard of this before.

"Ollie offered me a job as security at the club. I just don't know if I can stop being a lawyer though." Laurel said.

"I never could see you as security anyways." Tommy said.

"You know I would be good at it. I mean I did stop Max Fuller's goons from beating the shit out of you two." Laurel said.

"You didn't have to remind me of that. Although I could have taken care of it if I didn't have to worry about my identity as the Green Arrow getting out." Oliver said.

"Oh yeah, and what about Speedy being a drunk bitch that night?" Tommy asked while laughing.

"Please don't bring that up. It still embarrasses me that I was stupid enough to get drunk enough to say those things. I want to apologize for that by the way." Thea said as she walked down the steps.

"It's not a problem Speedy. You ended up getting yourself straight though." Tommy said.

"Yeah and plus it wasn't like you weren't telling the truth." Laurel said while blushing slightly.

"Well at the time Ollie was still in love with you and I think you might have still loved him as well. If y'all had been trying to work things out I would have definitely caused some problems." Thea said.

"Everything worked out in the end, so there is no reason to worry about that now. So, where is Roy tonight?" Sara asked.

"He actually had to work at Verdant tonight. He should be here in a couple of hours. So, Laurel, are you going to take the security job at the club? I would really like to see you beat some guys asses when you throw them out of the club." Thea said and everyone nodded as they laughed at what Thea said.

"I don't know yet. It would be nice to be near everyone, but I don't know if I could ever give up being a lawyer. I love my job and I think it would feel off if I wasn't being a lawyer." Laurel said.

"I know what you are saying. So, have you two decided anything about the wedding yet?" Thea asked Oliver and Sara.

"Not yet. We are waiting for this Ras Al Ghul situation to be taken care of first." Oliver said.

"Yeah that would probably be best." Thea said.

Oliver and Sara then went and sat down on the couch that was across from Laurel and Tommy so that they could also watch the movie. Once the movie was over, the two couples decided that it was a good time to go to bed.

The next morning Sara woke up before everyone and started the coffee maker and also started to make pancakes and bacon. All of the members of the apartment started to wake up and come into the kitchen.

"Breakfast will be ready soon." Sara said to everyone.

After everyone had eaten breakfast, they went to do some training. When they got to the lair Oliver and Sara started fighting with swords. Everyone could see just how good Oliver had gotten with a sword. He just needs to wait for another few weeks and then this will be over with.

Once they were done with training everyone went out on patrol to make sure that everything was good in the city. Once that was done everyone was back from patrolling and Oliver let them know that they could have the rest of the night off so that they didn't get burned out.
