Tamsin had been roaming the streets of Starling City for over a month now, but there was no trace of the blond Vigilante. The last place that girl was seen in was a club called "Verdant". Tamsin had been surveilling it for a while now, but without luck. Ra's al Ghul himself had given her this task because his daughter had failed him.
Tamsin didn't know much of the girl besides that she was called Ta-er al-Asfer, that she wore a black outfit, has blonde hair and dated Ra's al Ghuls daughter Nyssa and still lived to tell the tale. But that all was to come to an end, as soon as she would find her.
Tamsin was the best, she never failed to deliver a target, that's why he had chosen her, which also meant she couldn't fail, not this target. The cool night air made the hair of her neck and arms stand up. Tamsin shivered, her legs were numb from the position she sat in. That's when she decided to call it a night and jump off the roof. Everything was dark only the street lamps illuminated parts of the road. She hadn't walked long until she heard a high pitched voice of a girl echo thru the streets. Tamsin pulled the black hood down in her face and started running. She ran down 2 blocks around the corner into an alleyway, where she saw her! The girl that she had been looking for so long now. The girl had fought of two guys who were lying now on top of each other unconscious. While the canary pulled the crying girl up from the floor making sure she was ok, Tamsin made her way closer, hiding just behind the next dumpster. A police car had stopped next to them. A older men exit the car and walked over to them. They talked for a moment, but Tamsin couldn't hear a thing, neither could she read they're lips. Tamsin wasn't sure where but she was sure she had seen the detective before and now she didn't only find the canary, she also found someone who could probably identify her. The crying girl left with the detective and the blonde woman took off again. Tamsin didn't hesitate to run after the blond girl, she pulled out a sharp silver pocket knife and when she had a good line of shot she thru it at the woman in black. It hit her, Slicing the arm of her leather jacket and a cut formed on the blondes arm. The impact made her lose footing and she scramble to the ground, but with another roll she had her bowstaff ready and was back on her feet in her fighting position.
Sara eyes narrowed as she evaluated Tamsin.
"Nyssa released me from the league, you don't..." The girl started.
Tamsin wondered how the girl recognized her as someone from the league, she wasn't wearing their outfit nor did she move or talk like one of them.
"Nyssa has no right to do such a thing! I'm here on behalf of Ra's al Ghul, to finish what his daughter started!" Tamsin interrupted her slightly bored.
"Well I won't go easy" the black canary hissed back.
"Good!" Tamsin answered with a smirk on her lips.
Sara charged in, she jumped into the air to bring down her bowstaff hard on Tamsin. A shiver went down her spine as she instinctively slap the bow staff swinging down at her away. She dodged another two attacks, she ducked quickly before she kicked the feet out from underneath, sending Sara unceramoniacly to the ground on her ass again.
"Easier then I thought" Tamsin said with a laugh as she pulled out another knife from her belt.
Sara pushed herself with a quick move from the floor, landing on her feet, ready to strike back;" Playtime is over" she spat.
A smile formed on Tamsin's lips again, Sara came charging at her, she ducked the first swing of the bowstaff but didn't see Sara's foot swinging with it, which connected with her stomach. But Tamsin didn't have time to cough, or to gasp for air as the next swing of the bowstaff hit her on the head and she was kicked into the stomach falling to the ground.
She growled angry now, her face reddened.
"That's all you can bring to bear? I thought you were here to fight me." Sara hissed.
Tamsin stood, this time she she was ready, as they both charged at each other, Tamsin caught the Bowstaff in her left hand pulling on it, pushing Sara forward. Her right fist collided with Sara's jaw. She slapped Sara's strike aside and stepped inside her guard and struck her chest with all her might. The blonde staggered back three steps but stayed on her feet. But Sarah stayed strong, as Tamson reached her to kick her in the ribs, Sarah caught her foot then hit her with an uppercut. The Canary lost her balance and fell to the ground, Tamsin staggered back shaking her head to clear it.
Tamsin reacted quickly, stepping forward she grabbed the collar of the blondes leather jacket, lifting Sara easy of the ground slamming her into the nearest wall, knocking out all the air in the blondes lungs.
"It's over", Tamsin breath out as her hands closed around Sara's throat.
A arrow flew thru the air, just inches away from her ear, Tamsin jerked around, looking into a dark face covered by a green hood.
"Great the green goblin" Tamsin sighted with a roll of her eyes. "If there is one thing I hate, it's a man getting in the way of what I want"
Oliver trained his bow on her, giving Sara a quick look, asking if she was ok. Sara had taken this distraction to free herself out of Tamsin's gasp, rubbing her throat. But before she could say something the woman in the black hood hissed;" This isn't over!" And with that she caught the arrow that only a second ago was pointed at her, and ran off.
Sara had known for a while now that someone was tracking her. Now she definitely knew that the woman was from the league. She had moved quickly and her "fighting style" was quiet unique, nothing Sara had seen before. Sara figured that the woman wasn't only trained by the league and that she had probably hunted for years. But at least there was also a good thing, if that woman only had found her as the Canary she didn't know that she was Sarah Lance.
Tamsin joined the police working together with detective Lance as she had requested. It wasn't the first time for Tamsin, for her last job she had worked as a detective for almost a year. So this wasn't really new to her but it gave her an inside and brought her closer to the one person that new the canary. When she had picked up her coffee, she spiked it with some of her precious vodka to make work more "enjoyable". The desk from detective Lance was right next to hers, and when she walked up she noticed a woman standing by him. Tamsin didn't give it much thought, she gulped down some of her coffee and walked over to them.
Detective Lance didn't exactly like his new partner neither did he want one. But this girl was strong, she had experience and if it would come to it he was sure she would have his back. But he also quickly understood not to get on her bad side, as some of his colleagues had tried and ended up with a broken nose or ended up shitting they're pants. She quickly had made a repetition for herself. He faced Tamsin gave her a small smile and said;" Detective, this is my daughter Sara."
The woman turned to face Tamsin, the detective looked up only to catch those beautiful baby blues looking at her, when her jaw dropped.
The woman extended her right arm towards her and said; "I'm Sara Lance pleasure to meet you."
Tamsin wasn't sure if she had maybe overdone it with the alcohol, because her mind wasn't able to form a proper sentence nor a proper response as she looked back at her. Tamsin cleared her throat realizing how awkward that must have looked and shook the blonde womans hand.
"It's Tamsin, nice to meet you too!" She said, she mentally wanted to kick herself at how insecure she sounded. Tamsin shook her head, regaining some strength she noticed that they were still shacking hands. She reluctantly pulled her hand back and in that moment when she let go of Sara's hand an electric shock went thru her, still looking at Sara she realized she had felt it too.
"Ok sweetheart?, I'll see you tonight then" detective Lance said to Sara and kissed her on the cheek, as they made their way out.
Tamsin was left dumb struck, she wasn't sure what just had happened. She looked down to her coffee cup and then shook her head walking back to her desk. Making a mental note to slap herself later.
For most of the day Tamsin wasn't able to get that woman out of her head. She hunted her everywhere she went.
