"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live."
-Norman Cousins
After the death of one Professor Martin Stein, Captain Sara Lance feels that she has failed her team of misfits heroes. After the funeral she made her way back towards the Waverider, down two people, one permanently and the other she wasn't sure how long he needed to grieve. But she would give him all the time in the world.
Sara Lance was never one to cry over a death with the exception of one person. She loved Martin like she loved her own father but nothing could seem to bring tears out of her eyes. As she appoached the Waverider with her team behind her, minus Jax, they all boarded. The deathly silence was not normal for their usual behavior.
Mick, Amaya, Zari, Ray, Nate and Sara all sat in the bridge around the council Gideon was usually seen on. No one dared speak but Sara knew. She knew they had to get going. They had numerous Anchronisms to fix and history to save but she just couldn't will herself to be put in the Captain's chair. She didn't feel like much of a Captain.
"I am sorry for the loss of Professor Stein," Gideon's British accent broke the silence.
"It's not your fault, Gideon," Sara said. She knew it wasn't her fault that Stein was shot down by Nazi's but she did know she should've been the one to turn that switch to the portal on. Even if it would've resulted in her death. Again.
"It's no one's fault," Ray reassured, looking directly at Sara. She just shrugged it off, not convinced.
"Blondie I wasn't there so I can't say much but I've known you for however long we've been on the Waverider and can say that if there was anyone in this world I would trust my life too, it's you," came Micks rough voice.
"I second that," Ray said.
"I third," came Nate and Amaya at the same time, glaring at each other as they did.
"I haven't even know you long, but from what I do know, I fourth," came Zari's low voice.
Sara felt touched by their faith in her but she would never let the guilt of Stein's death go. Stein had more to live for; a wife, a daughter, a grandson. Jefferson. It should've been her. It should've been, but it wasn't.
"Thanks, but it still doesn't change the fact that we're down two crew members and we have a million Anachronisms to fix. Gideon?"
"Yes Captain. I have been, as you call it, 'thinking' about potential recruits and what Anachronisms to fix and can strongly give advice to both. As for potential recruits go, I believe you fondly already know of my first choice as Nyssa al Ghul, heir to the Demon. She has recently dispatched the league of Assassins after the explosion on Lian Yu and her aid in helping . I believe she is now lost as for a purpose in this world." Sara wasn't surprised at the suggestion as she had thought about it herself.
"Ok Gideon, I'll see what I can do. Who is the other recruit?" She asked immediately.
"A duo, you might call them actually. It seems that two speedsters have been recently running through the city stopping crime and fixing what they can. Now with Citizen Cold and Vibe doing the same and team Arrow filling prisons faster than the norm, they have nothing to do in this time period. Their names are Wally West and Earth 2 Jesse 'Quick' Wells. They seem to enjoy each other's company as well and would make an excellent addition to the team."
Sara thought for a moment. They would all make excellent recruits and with the team down some people, they need it. She wasn't sure how the team felt about the recruits as everyone was silent. Until Mick interrupted.
"Hey Boss, isn't this Demon heir that girl that trained you?" He asked skeptically. Everyone else nodded, curious as to what the answer was.
"Yes she is. She's also better at fighting than anyone I know. She would make a good addition to the team but I don't know how she'll react to seeing me..." Sara trailed off, thinking of her last encounter with Nyssa in the dungeons.
"Why?" Asked Zari.
"Well in order to get out of the league I ran to Star city but she tracked me down and took a hostage," she left out the part of the hostage being her mother, "She told me I have 24 hours to return to the league or she'd kill the hostage."
"No offense, but why didn't she just kill you? I thought that's what the league did to deserters." Asked Ray curiously.
"She couldn't kill me. I mean physically she could but she couldn't because her feelings got in the way." Sara stated in thought. She remembered telling Nyssa at the docks to do what she had to and for a moment Sara thought Nyssa would actually kill her. But obviously she didn't. Ray made an 'O' with his mouth as he finally understood.
"This Nyssa chick, she loved you? I mean from what I read about the League of Assassins love was a weakness and as heir to the Demon it would've been forbidden. So how'd you escape unhurt?" Nate asked.
"Well yea, she did love me, and I loved her but she had her orders to bring me in. I refused and told her she has to do what she has to do and I thought she'd kill me, she almost did, but couldn't go through with it. Instead, she took the hostage and threatened me. I met her at a warehouse and got the hostage free but before I went I took a poison used by the league with only a rare cure in the world. She found out I was dying and released me as Oliver gave me the cure. It was a tough choice just after be resurrected but I couldn't keep killing for the league. After that Rip recruited me and here we are," Sara finished her story as she went to the fabricator in the Waverider and put together an outfit of the league.
"Wow," started Amaya as the team followed Sara. "That's one heck of a story. So you're going after this heir in hope to recruit her, I want to come with you."
"Actually, Amaya I need you, Ray and Zari to go recruit Wally West and Jesse Wells. Mick I need you to stay on the Waverider and Nate and I will go pay Nyssa a visit," she dished out orders.
"Wait," started Ray, "why does Nate get to go with you?" Sara looked up at him while changing into league clothing and smirked before saying-
"Because he's the only one Nyssa can't kill in two seconds flat along with me." That got Ray to quit asking questions.
"Right, that makes sense Captain. We'll be going now," Ray grabbed a few things and left with his group while Mick headed to the kitchen for what Sara could only assume was going to be a beer and turned to Nate.
"If you feel like you're in danger, steel up because you more than likely are. I can't find Nyssa even if I wanted to so we're going to lure her out to us and hope she recognizes me before shooting." She said.
"Ok, sounds dangerous to me but let's go. Can I ask why you're taking me?"
"I'm taking you because if Nyssa kills me, I need you to steel up and run back here to report."
"That's...not very reassuring."
"I know, but we have a 50-50 chance she'll recognize me before killing." With that being said, Sara grabbed her Bo staff and throwing knives before heading out into the nights darkness, hoping she'll make it back.
After two hours of running around the city and beating up criminals and gangs, Sara and Nate were standing on the roof top where Sara had originally died. She walked over to the part where she fell and could see the crime scene tape was never taken down and the blood was surprisingly still there. Nate looked as well.
"Is this where you..." he trailed off though. Sara simply nodded in response.
She was just about to leave when she could feel the slightest of changes in the atmosphere. She knew Nyssa was behind her and Nate.
"I was wondering how long it would take until you showed," Sara called, not looking behind her. Nate immediately steeled up and they both turned to face her. As usual, Nyssa was dressed in her original League outfit.
"Kneel before me and I will let you live, imposter. I warned all league members to disband and you are not following my orders," she warned, not at all alarmed by Nate, before pulling out her bow.
"Nyssa," Sara started before slowly walking towards the women. She let an arrow fly towards the blonde before she caught it.
"Impressive, I can tell you have been trained well. Too bad I've grown up training." She pulled her swords before she started walking forward.
"Nyssa, stop!" Sara pulled down her mask and hood, letting Nyssa take her in. "It's just me, and this is my friend Nate. I've seeked you out to ask you a question, ok? Please, can we just talk?"
Nyssa looked shocked at the sight of her beloved. Quickly recovering, she put her swords and bow away and Nate steeled down.
"Nice trick, metal man," she said before turning to Sara and surprising the ex-assassin with a hug. She whispered to Sara so Nate couldn't hear, "I do not wish to talk in front of this man of metal. Let us talk elsewhere. I have a place in town if you will trust me and come?" Sara could hear the question and simply nodded before breaking the hug.
"It is nice to see you, Nyssa. I heard what happened to the league, and your father. I'm sorry."
"Do not be, beloved. The death of Ra' al Ghul needed to happen, and you have Oliver Queen to thank for that. So what the hell happened with the Nazi's? I have heard of the battle but was in Russia taking down Bratva at the time."
"It's a long story, but we have plenty of time to talk at your place. Shall we go?" Sara asked.
"Yes, let us go and talk. I could have killed you here you know. I was going to but there was already to much blood spilt here and did not wish to ruin the one place I felt a connection to you."
"I know, Nyssa. I know. Nate," she said turning to him,"You can go back to the Waverider and tell the team I'll be back within an hour or so." Nate nodded his head before glaring at the heir and leaving.
"The metal man is protective of you, I can see it in his eyes. Are you two...together?"
"Absolutely not. We just lost a member of our team a few days ago and it's been really hard. For all of us." Sara tried to keep a strong face but if fell as soon as Nyssa looked at her with a soft smile.
"Time travelling has changed you. Let us head to my place and you can tell me about all of you adventures, beloved." Sara simply nodded again and let Nyssa lead her to her home.
Meanwhile, Ray, Amaya and Zari made their way to Star Labs to find two red blurs running around on the track. Caitlin and Cisco told them they might find their duo here.
"Hello!" Ray called out to the blurs, hoping they could hear him. Not a second later two sweaty speedsters almost magically appeared in front of them."Oh hi! My names Ray Palmer and these two are Amaya Jiwe and Zari Tomaz." They all introduced themselves before Amaya jumped into business mode.
"You know who we are right? Well you know what we do?" She asked.
"Uh yea, you guys travel through time and protect history don't you?" Jesse asked. "You guys all kinda died on my earth...but your written down in history books. As Legends."
Wally shifted and put his hands in his pockets. "Why, what do you need with us?"
"Well," Zari started, "We could really use some recruits aboard our ship because we still have to track down some bad guys and capture them and fix Anachronisms and fix time. You know, just the usual."
"Oh," Wally said. "Well I mean how long would we be gone? Because Barry and Iris are on their honeymoon and so are Felicity and Oliver. I'm totally in but I was just curious to as how long. Jesse?"
"Hell yea. We just got our powers and need experience using them but with Citizen Cold and Team Arrow the streets are pretty clean. That and we kinda are getting extremely bored."
"Wow, this went way better than I ever could have imagined," Ray stated.
"We would be gone up to a month or six depending on how in goes. More likely less than six but you never know," said Amaya.
"Ok, well we have to leave tomorrow morning so I'm sorry for such short notice but I'll give you the address and if you dont show up by 10 A.M. then we'll just assume that you can't come," Amaya said before writing down the address at which the Waverider is stationed.
Wally and Jesse thanked them before leaving to make arrangements and hopefully say goodbye so they can come. As they walked outside the night air bit at them as they made their way back to their ship.
"How do you think Sara's talk went with the heir to the Demon?" Ray suddenly asked. The three of them were walking through a huge field of golden rods and tall grass in the forest towards the Waverider.
"I don't know Ray, I just hope they end up ok because from what I've heard, the Heir to the Demon is no one to be messed with," said Zari. Just when the cargo bay opened a shot fired over Rays shoulder.
"Take cover," yelled Amaya before touching her totem and calling upon a bear. Amaya jumped out of the ship and ran into the tall grass for cover, looking for their unknown assailants.
"Ray, I'm going to help Amaya, you go get Mick then come to help us," Zari yelled before running into the chaos herself, dodging bullets. Zari approached Amaya silently while keeping an eye out for their unseen enemies. "Any clue as to who is firing at us?" Zari whispered to Amaya.
"I don't know but I can hear the firing stopped so stay low and wait for them to come to us. They'll regret it, trust me."
Meanwhile, back at Nyssa's home Sara had just gotten done explaining everything to her before asking if Nyssa was interested in coming.
"Well, beloved. I would go anywhere with you, you know that. But I fear that your team will not accept me. They know who I am, yes?" Sara nodded, making Nyssa continue. "How can they accept the demons heir into their team. A team is built on trust, and trust is not something that I share very easily or at all, for that matter. There is only two people in this entire world that I trust. Me and You."
"Nyssa you don't have to trust them right away, I didn't either. But you can trust me and I trust them, why don't you just give it a try? Besides from what Gideon told me you are accomplishing stuff here but it's nothing the police can't handle. They do need to get paid for something, you know. Besides you could do some real good helping my team, I promise. This life is full of adventure. Yes, there is death too, but there was death in the league anyways. Please just try it out and if you don't like it, you can leave at any time."
Nyssa pinched the bridge of her nose. "You know what, you are right. Just know that I do not do this for your team but for you, beloved." Nyssa stepped close to Sara for the first time in a long time, and pulled her close. Their lips met in a sweet, soft kiss that Sara had missed sharing with Nyssa so much. When Sara pulled away, Nyssa looked confused at her. "Is there someone else, Sara? Did I read this wrong?"
Sara's eyes went wide with surprise. "Not at all, Nyssa! I've never stopped loving you it's just, I feel that I will worry with you in the field with me. It wasn't even a week ago that I faced Damien Darhk and his daughter and they almost killed me if not for my team." Nyssa let out a small growl like sound at the name of the man who killed her beloved's sister. Sara smiled and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "He knows of our love for each other, I fear he will use it against us. Well, me. I just, I worry."
Nyssa smiled at her before closing the remaining distance and holding Sara in a hug. "Sara we have faced death on so many occasions that I am sure life can not be so cruel to us as to take each other away. I will not let that happen, beloved. I swear it." Sara just hugged Nyssa tighter before separating and lacing their fingers together, tracing her scars with her thumb.
"Ok, Nyssa. Let's get you packed and we'll head to the Waverider tonight. I have a room across the hall from me that is vacant for you, if you want."
"Is there a reason I cannot stay with my beloved?" Nyssa asked, looking straight into Sara's eyes.
"I just thought that you would want your own, I wasn't sure-" Nyssa quickly cut her off with a kiss though, disappearing into her room with before emerging with a packed bag.
"Let us go to you ship of time travelling and get settled in then, beloved." Nyssa walked to the door and opened in before turning to a closet and grabbing her bow and another bag filling with various arrows and other weapons and lead the way outside.
"I can't believe that you're actually coming with me and my team, Nyssa." The blonde turned to her and grabbed her hand once again, each of them walking down the street with one of Nyssa's bags.
"I can hardly believe it myself. This morning my biggest problem was having to shop for food but now I am on my way to start a new adventure with the love of my life." She smiled, a genuine smile. "I am still worried about your team not accepting me though." Her smile turned to a frown. "I fear I will do something they will not approve of or say something-"
"Hey," Sara cut her off before Nyssa could finish. "My team will love you if they got to know the Nyssa I know and love."
"Sara Lance, how did I get so lucky to be reunited with you?"
"Nyssa Raatko, or al Ghul whatever you want, I love you more than myself and always have. You don't have to worry about me going anywhere." With that said, the shorter blonde linked their arms and rested her head on Nyssa as they walked to where the Waverider was hiding.
"And I refer Raatko, the name al Ghul instills fear into people and that is not how I wish your people to feel about me. I will only use al Ghul when I feel like being mean." Sara laughed causing Nyssa to smile.
"You're something else, Nyssa. And I love it."
Back at the Waverider Ray and Mick stood at the cargo bay of the Waverider, determined to stop whoever was firing at them.
"Hey Haircut, go give these comms to the girls and meet me back here." Mick said before handing Ray the comms and pushing him out before he could protest.
Shrinking down to size, Ray flew over to the girls before placing a comm in each of their ears, resizing them back to normal, and flying back to Mick.
"Done. Now what do we do because we can't just wait for them to come at us, if they're even still here. Who even are they and how do they know about us?" Ray asked through the comms.
"Guys it's Nate. What's going on?" They all heard. After Mick explained it in a vague explanation, Nate agreed to meet the girls in the goldenrod's and help them search for their intruders. After Amaya, Nate and Zari searched for awhile they gave up and made their way back to the Waverider.
"Someone should go and meet Sara at the edge of the woods to warn her about the people, whoever they are." Zari sagely said.
"Haircut and I can go, besides I have to piss and the bathrooms all the way back in my room," says Mick before walking out to the trees, Ray following behind him. Nate turned to the two girls he was with.
"Ok we should close the door until they get back and I guess just wait. Well, you two can wait but I'm gonna go find a good Anachronism that we can fix," and he left.
"Wanna spar?" Zari asked Amaya. The two have taken up sparring with each other whenever they could and practicing with Zari on using her powers.
"Sounds good to me, just know I don't take it easy," Amaya stated before heading to the training room.
After Mick was done using the forest as his bathroom him and Ray made their way to the treeline, looking for danger as they went.
"So Mick, anyone special you stopped by to see while we were here?" Ray asked, trying to make small conversation.
"Well, I visited my father's grave and took a piss on that too, does that count?" He asked.
"Uhh, not really but A Plus for effort."
"First A I've ever gotten."
They walked in silence until they reached the parking lot to a small school they stationed next to. Not even ten minutes later, Sara and an unknown women showed up with two bags.
"Wow Captain, you never told me your friend was such a hottie," Mick laughed to himself looking at Nyssa. He was only joking but Sara smacked his upside the head before continuing to walk past them into the forest.
"She could kill you in about three seconds if she wanted too, Mick. I wouldn't be pissing her off. Besides, she's already taken." Sara smiled over her shoulder at Nyssa. "What are you two doing out here anyways and Ray why the suit?" Sara suddenly asked.
"Well you see, we were all just kind of on the ship when gunshots went off all around us. Amaya and Zari went to investigate but we couldn't find anything. They literally fired at us then left. We just came out here to tell you that and escort you," Ray finished, out of breath.
"We need not escorting, if anything we are escorting you," Nyssa spoke for the first time to Ray.
Ray just shrugged, "You got a point. I'm Ray Palmer, also called The Atom, nice to meet you," he told Nyssa before offering his hand. Nyssa scowled at first, not liking the idea of shaking a strange man in a suits hand but remembered what Sara told her and shook his hand.
"Nyssa Raatko. Also known as Nyssa al Ghul, heir to the Demon." Ray smiled even brighter, if that was possible, though Nyssa could detect that he was actually nervous.
"The Captain has talked a bit about you," Ray said before nudging Sara.
"Ray, if you keep talking I'll cut your tongue out," She threatened, not wanting to be embarrassed in front of her love before walking faster ahead of the group.
"She speaks the truth, I recall teaching her how to do it the most painful way." Nyssa smiled before joining her beloved at the front of the group. She hated to admit it but she actually was starting to like this team already.
"So since you're already taken, Darkie I'm just gonna outright say it. You're hot and that British accent is sexy." Nyssa just smiled at this man, knowing Sara was friends with him and watched as Sara turned around and smacked him upside the head once more, which amused Nyssa to no ends.
"I told you Mick, she's already taken. Why don't you go find yourself someone and leave my girlfriend alone."
"Aha!" Mick shouted at Sara and pointed at them. "So it's official, Blondies tied down."
"She is," the dark haired assassin said before wrapping an arm around Sara.
"Come on, let's just get to the Waverider and go to sleep. Between fighting Nazi's and being a parent to this crew I'm exhausted," Sara said before once again returning to the front of the group. They had just reached the field of golden rods when Mick was suddenly swept into the air by his foot, dangling by a rope.
"Fuck!" Mick screamed in pain. "This damn rope just broke my foot!"
Nyssa had her bow out as soon as he was taken into the air, and Sara her staff. Nyssa spotted the trap before the big man stepped into it, as did Sara, but neither had time to warn the other two before Mick was swept away.
"Ray, get Mick down and fly to the ship to warn the others and take Mick to the medbay," ordered Sara. Ray did as he was told without question and took Mick with him. She looked to Nyssa. "Looks like you're about to have your first fight as a Legend," she told her before smiling and reaching into a bush to grab an attacker who thought he was hiding and knocked him unconscious.
Nyssa turned around and fired two arrows into the other bushes, claiming two more hiders. Nyssa had only unarmed them as she knew there was no need to kill, and Sara nodded her thanks to her for it.
"Let's get back to the ship with my team before anything we regret happens," Sara said before turning to make a run to their ship, Nyssa behind her. Before they could make it however, a yellow blue appeared in front of them between the Waverider and them. It was Eobard Thawne.
Sara silently cursed under her breath. This was the Earth X Eobard.
"Gideon lock down the Waverider, now!" She shouted into her comms, knowing the computer was already hooked up to them in case of situations like this. Not two seconds later the Waverider was locked down, no way in nor out.
"You bitch. Your Earth killed my people and locked me on this Earth and now I have need of your ship to get back so I can continue on without them." Said Eobard, taking his mask off. "Those gunmen were mine, scavengers you can call them. I hired them to track down your ship, which they did. Tell your team to open the doors and I'll make your deaths painless." He said, smiling.
Nyssa had her bow drawn but Sara knew it would do not good against the speedster. She knew that even together they didn't stand a chance against the him, no matter their skills.
"I can't let that happen, Eobard. You know that." She teased him. In the blink of an eye, Nyssa was thrown backwards and he was before her, back against the ground, his hand on her throat. She could hear Nyssa shouting at her and her team in her comms asking what's happening but all she could do was worry about Eobard.
"Now, Canary. I killed you on my Earth without breaking a sweat. That was after three weeks of torture. I'll give you credit, you lasted longer than anyone under my torture, but the only thing that broke you was her." He looked back to Nyssa, just getting up."Now, it's time to die, little bird." He sneered at her. Out of the corner of her eye, Sara could see Nyssa behind Eobard with a knife before stabbing him in his leg, leaving the knife in. He cried out in pain before looking at Nyssa and punching her repeatedly with his speed.
"Nyssa," she whispered before jumping off the ground and pulling out her own knife and stabbing at Eobard. Before she could even complete the swing of the knife, Eobard had grabbed her knife hand and redirected it at herself.
"That's what you get for being a bitch on all planets," he said before speeding off slower than he came due to the knife sticking out of his leg.
Sara could feel the pain in her chest where the knife was still sticking out, before collapsing to her knees.
"Sara," Nyssa whispered as she dropped down with her to catch and hold her on the ground. Nyssa could see the knife was sticking out just below Sara's lung and knew it was bad, but she had time as long as the knife stayed in. "It is ok beloved. You are going to be ok." Sara could move if she wanted to, Nyssa knew that but instead she picked Sara up and walked over to the Waverider and sat with their backs to the wall.
Sara was breathing a little rugged but all in all was doing fine for the time being.
"Nyssa, grab my comm. It's in my ear," Sara whispered weakly.
Nyssa did as she was told and took Sara's comm.
"Hello?" She asked curiously into it.
"This is not Sara, who is this," Amaya asked.
"It's Nyssa. Your Captain has been stabbed by the speeding man named Eobard. I am afraid to tell you that if you do not let us in soon, then her condition is just going to get worse." It took all of Nyssa's skills not to panic at the sight of her beloved with a knife sticking out of her.
"Ok Ray is coming out to shrink you and bring you two in the ship. We can't risk Eobard being near and coming aboard, she knows this." Said the one Nyssa knew as Amaya.
"Ok but do hurry."
Not even a minute later and Ray had them inside and rushed Sara to their medical room, Nyssa pulled the knife out, and Gideon took care of her. Nyssa had not liked the feeling of being shrunken by Ray but she was happy as long as Sara was ok.
The computer that people called Gideon informed Nyssa that the Captain was in a coma and would stay in if for at least a few days. Nyssa was very saddened by the news but glad her beloved was being taken care of properly and would make a full recovery. After spending the night by Sara's side she woke at 6 A.M. on the dot like she did everyday. She gave her beloved a kiss and went to grab her bags that Ray had also shrunken and brought in for her.
Once Nyssa had her bags she called out to the computer.
"Uh, Gideon right?"
"Yes Ms. al Ghul? Or would you prefer ? How may I be of assistance?"
"I would prefer , and could you please guide me to where my beloved's room is?"
"Your beloved being Captain Lance, I presume?"
"Yes, Gideon."
"Hmm, it seems that the Captain has herself tied down to someone. It's about time. Yes , just follow my instructions and I'll take you to the Captain's chambers." Nyssa smiled at the computer, loving the humor.
Once Nyssa reached her beloved's room she looked up and asked Gideon one more question. "You mock me, yes?"
"I'm afraid I do not understand." Replied the British computer.
"You mock me for my British accent, do you not Gideon?" The computer laughed.
"I do not, . This is simply how I speak to everyone. The original Captain of this ship was British too, if that helps any."
"Oh, I see. That is all, thank you for your guide Gideon." Nyssa said before opening the door to Sara's room. The room was simple enough, white walls and white carpet floor with a single cozy looking bed ahead of her. To the right Nyssa noticed a weird looking machine in the wall but no closet. This must've been the clothes fabricator Sara had told her about. The room had a desk in the corner and shelves on the wall along with a futuristic looking Television sort of thing Nyssa did not know of. The shelves were lined with photos of Sara and her family, mainly her and Laurel. The one photo that had surprised her though, was the photo of her and Sara in Nanda Parbat on the beautiful hills, both were smiling and the sun caught the photo just right, showing all Sara's bruises from a recent mission. Nyssa had remembered that photo. That's the day she told Sara she loved her.
Her thoughts turned to Sara as she walked over to her bed and set her stuff down. Nyssa hopped in the bed and was surprised to find how comfortable the bed really was, even if it was a bit small. She brought the pillow to her head and smelt the soap Sara always used on it.
Nyssa sat up and changed into different clothes and cleaned up her bruised face and blood before heading back to Sara's room. She sat by her side and recalled all the fond memories she had with Sara and couldn't help but think that she made the right choice to come with her beloved on this adventure. Nyssa couldn't wait until Sara had woken up and they started their time together.
With her hand tracing patterns on Sara's she thought how she was going to meet the team with Sara in the coma. She was relying on her beloved to make the introductions, not herself.
Oh well, she would just have to introduce Nyssa Raatko, not Nyssa al Ghul until Sara woke.
"While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil."
