A plot bunny I got, when reading some Batman and Birds of Prey comic books.. Heads-up, while this is part of the DAR(H)K WAR saga, it will be much shorter story than others that I have written.
I do not own DC Comics or the CW TV shows Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow or any other characters or elements pertaining to the mentioned franchises.
Canada
Black Canary was driving on a snowmobile with a young girl holding onto her as some mercenaries were chasing her, while she was avoiding gunfire.
"Seeker, I need a different route!"
"The road on your right." Henry called out.
Black Canary widened her eyes. "That's a dead end…"
"Laurel, trust me! Turn on your Canary Cry." Henry said.
Laurel sighed. "OK, little girl, cover your ears." She turned on her sonic collar as the ice barricade in front of her shattered before she drove through.
"OK, B.C., keep going down that road, evac's on the way." Henry said as Black Canary was driving down before she ended up at the edge of a cliff.
"Henry, you're kidding me." Black Canary grumbled.
"Nope. Just hang on tight." Henry said.
"They're still right on my ass!" Black Canary snapped.
"Come on, we've been in deeper shit than that. This is a piece of cake, B.C." Henry said.
"Henry Samuel Fyff, if I make it out of here alive, I'm gonna kill you." Black Canary muttered as she turned around to see the mercenaries.
"Oh, I'd like to see you try." Henry laughed.
"I'm scared." The girl said.
"Don't worry, we'll get you home." Laurel assured the girl as the leading mercenary stepped up.
"There's nowhere to run, Canary." The man said. "Give us the girl and you just might make it out unharmed. Otherwise, I will have to add a bonus for you too."
Black Canary got down from the snowmobile and glared as they pulled out their guns.
"Two choices, hand her over and we'll let you live as a free woman. Disobey and we'll have some fun with you." The man said.
Black Canary considered as one of the men approached her but Black Canary hit him in the face and kicked him in the stomach before another man rushed at her but Black Canary kicked him in the knee and grabbed him by his neck and threw him down before she pulled out one of her batons and knocked him down and she threw two knives, knocking two more mercenaries down as they surrounded her.
"Then the hard way it will have to be. You're going down." The man said.
"Laurel, now!" Henry ordered as Black Canary turned on her sonic collar, stunning the men with her Canary Cry and an avalanche was triggered and Black Canary paled.
"Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God…"
"Laurel, jump! You need to jump, now!" Henry ordered.
Black Canary rushed to the girl and held her as they jumped off the cliff. They fell for a few moments before Black Canary held onto the rope ladder of the chopper as it flew way.
Gotham City
"I cannot express enough gratitude to the Black Canary, my little girl is safe…"
Henry turned off the TV as Laurel entered. "Governor's daughter made it home safe."
Laurel pounded Henry lightly in the shoulder. "Henry Samuel Fyff, if you ever put me in danger like that again, I'm gonna kill you, then I'm gonna dump you into the Lazarus pit to bring you back and then I'll kill you again."
Henry laughed. "Wow, now you sounded like Nicky." Then he looked at his watch. "Wow, we better go before we're late."
Later
Laurel, Barbara, Henry, Sara, Helena and Mia were in a bar as they drank.
"And then I had to jump off the cliff and if that A.R.G.U.S. chopper hadn't gotten there in time, I would've been buried in the snow." Laurel finished as Barbara laughed.
"Come on, it's not like we've never been through worse than that." Henry protested as Laurel was glaring at him with an amused smile on her face.
"This is fun, you know? Jumping over the rooftops as everything bursts into flames and then we sit here and drink…" Helena teased.
"I never thought I'd find a nice family like that here." Mia nodded.
"Look, I'm gonna go home early, I need to get some sleep, OK?" Barbara said.
"Same." Mia said.
Soon enough, everyone except Laurel and Henry left.
"Ever thought about how things would've been different, if…" Henry trailed off.
"We didn't lead this life?" Laurel finished as Henry nodded.
"Maybe I'd still have my daughter. Maybe I'd never met you. Maybe Barbara would never have been on a wheelchair." Henry nodded. "I'm just saying… a lot has happened between us. And at times like these, I wonder…"
"How things would've been different if… the Gambit had never gone down, if you hadn't lost your daughter…" Laurel continued.
Henry nodded. "I already know how it might look like. But I wouldn't trade what we've been through for it. I'd never meet Ollie… or you… or Sara… I'd lose my best friends."
Laurel laughed as they drank before leaving outside as Barbara called Laurel.
"Hey, how long before you and Henry will return? Nicky would like for you to come back and pick Ashley up." Barbara asked.
"We're on our way…" Suddenly, a knife knocked Laurel's phone off her hand. "What the…"
Henry turned around and pulled out a gun but another knife knocked it off his hand as from above descended an Asian woman with black coat and red outfit.
"Oh, hell, no!" Henry groaned.
Laurel threw punches at the woman but she blocked and kicked Laurel back swiftly. "You've become faster since the last time we met. We'll see how will you fare with the quest I want you to follow."
Henry attacked and threw punches but the woman was too fast for Henry to be able to land a blow. "Impressive technique but you're no match for me." She sent a powerful kick to Henry's chest, knocking him down.
Laurel rushed at the woman, trying to hit her in the legs but the woman jumped. Laurel jumped on the wall, grabbing the woman by her neck and knocking her down. "Clever. But not clever enough."
Laurel tried to kick the woman but she kicked Laurel in the leg as she fell down. Before Laurel could get up, the woman hit Laurel in the neck from behind, paralyzing her.
"Leave her alone, you bitch!" Henry snarled but the woman did a throwing motion to the ground and an explosion followed and when the smoke lifted, Laurel and the woman were gone. "Laurel. Laurel!"
"Hank? Henry! What's going on?!" Barbara called out as Henry picked the phone, fear and worry flooding through him.
"It's Laurel. She… she's gone. Lady Shiva. She's back and she's taken Laurel!"
