A/N: Hello! So I have been meaning to do this well really for freaking ever but things have been happening in my life as I am sure in everyone else's but I finally took the time to write this up. WARNING! This does not follow the show or how it works there as well this is Jasmin's Alternative Universe I will let you in on a couple of things Earth 1 has a Power Girl (Not a Supergirl) and if you are a Supergirl/Power Girl fan you know they both have their human alter egos. They are switched! You will notice quickly. National City is not in another Universe but in the same as Flash and Black Canary, Black Canary is the main hero in my story she will eventually meet with Nyssa Al Ghul which won't be till Ch. 10 ( I like to drag things out). SuperCorp is in this! As for Sawyer? Mhmm... not really as much as I love Maggie I'd like to explore Lanvers (I know lame but Lance and Danvers? Sara and Alex?) As for Alex and our dear Kara or Karen? I will build a relationship around them two but it will not be the one that you know although they will have a sisterly bond that won't take off till National City needs help and Power Girl decides to help out. Felicity will become a badass soon enough and our dear Laurel, one thing that will follow, I am going to eventually kill her off. And no she will not come back or be thrown into the Lazars pit at all, she will remain dead, kapesh! Dinah Drake will take over the mantle of Black Canary (eventually but not anytime soon) if you have questions, pm me! Or put it in your review! Here we go!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything! You will return to this chapter for disclaimer!
The blonde took a sip from her coffee as she read from her laptop about the Vigilante, Black Canary, she had been getting so much attention although it was wanted attention it seems. The Black Canary within half a year had the crime rate dropping decreasingly low yet she was having trouble this month. It was only one Vigilante against a whole city of thieves and scum "Felicity!" She heard a rough voice call her name catching her attention she looked up for her eyes to meet with Laurel as they were to have lunch although the dirty blonde lawyer always seemed to run late.
It wasn't long that she had met Laurel, Laurel had been honorably discharged a year back from the Navy and had showed up at Queen enterprises, apparently Laurel knew Walt and asked for a favor to use one of his IT people. Then comes in Felicity whom had gotten sucked into the world of Laurel and became involved in her nightly activities even though it didn't take long to figure out exactly what Laurel was doing. "Sorry had a never ending case at court," Laurel smiled "so what's up?"
Felicity also knew that Laurel tried to seem put together, normal on the outside while she was dying on the inside, and this crusade of her's seemed to help calm those demons that the woman holds. Laurel wouldn't talk as much at least at first and what had happened or why she had gotten honorably discharged so it made it hard for Felicity to empathize. Felicity would be there though once the woman did start talking and the blonde understood why Laurel was so closed off and still scared even though she was this city's hero. Hell, they even gave Black Canary the key to the city to make sure the woman knew that she was welcomed and that the city was honored to have her.
Felicity could see the courage that Laurel held and how proud of the Black Canary she was "Well I picked up on some leads on our latest adventure and it doesn't look good," the blonde spoke as she switched the computer to the files of what Laurel had picked off of the thumb drive last night "it seems they plan on bombing the gala tomorrow night."
"I can get us in but I think we might need back up would you mind calling…"
"Already called Barry so he should be here tomorrow that way we can all go over the plans tomorrow."
"Do I ever tell you how much I love you?" Felicity smiled at Laurel and rolled her eyes "Not enough but I know you love me otherwise you couldn't do this without me now could you?"
"Nope I need my Overwatch anyway I have to run I have to head back to the office to snatch up a case file do you wanna meet up at my place?" Felicity nodded "Okay I'll message you once I get home later Fe!" Laurel again was up and moving and not long did she show up at the office although when she did Tommy Merlyn and Oliver Queen, her ex-boyfriend, her dead ex-boyfriend, were sitting at her desk and her jaw clenched. The dirty blonde had anger towards the male because if it hadn't been for him his sister would still be here and alive "I will leave you…" Tommy tried to finished although Laurel cut him off "No, you both need to leave and I rather not speak to the man that got my sister killed now get off my desk it is not a damn chair. I have work to do."
"Laurel.."
"No, Oliver if you want to talk to me it's going to have to be another time I have other things to do and a case file in which I have to attend too; look you can have this and I will be here tomorrow you can contact me then and we can go for lunch and talk."
"I'll take that over nothing," Oliver stated although Laurel noticed how different the male looked "I will see you tomorrow then." With that the two best friends had left the dirty blonde alone as she scooped up her file that she needed although it wasn't long that she received a message from Felicity. Felicity said something about a surprise and that their destination has changed with an address left on the bottom, it was one that Laurel recognized, so without question she left the office and got into her vehicle. It wasn't long that she showed up in the glades in front of sold building with Felicity coming out of the door "Laurel," Felicity smiled softly as she motioned for Laurel to follow behind her "so I figured we needed a base, a headquarters, and not some place like your loft to work out of also I do not know how we did it for so long. Anyway the top will be turned into a small little bar and here," Felicity pushed a small piece of the wall in and the wooden wall opened up and into an elevator as they both entered. As the doors opened again there was a big center with computers (obviously Felicity's work station) a glass case holding Laurel's outfit "is your headquarters good hideout huh?"
"It's perfect," Laurel smiled "how is the look for recruits going?" Laurel asked the other blonde woman as they had been looking for more people to add to the crusade and that way Black Canary had a moment to breath. "Well you denied the two that I offered you but I have this one," Felicity handed her a file which would contain information on the person along with background and basic information as well as some extra stuff "I think she would be a perfect fit for the team well a perfect fit for you at least."
Laurel seemed impress or that's how she looked from Felicity's point although this was her first encounter with this type of person "Is she a meta or?"
"Alien," Felicity piped up "there isn't much on her with how low she stays so that was literally all I could get on her." Karen Starr, born and raised in Metropolis, Clark Kent (adoptive father as well as deceased) and Lois Lane adoptive mother, 5'11 wt, 180 lbs, now resides in Central city. "Barry hasn't even discovered her?"
"Like I said she stays super low and with how busy Barry is I would highly doubt he would notice her." Laurel looked like she was debating really hard "Start planning a trip to Central City for two days after Barry gets here and once we have finished our business we can head to Central City. I think she wouldn't mind joining us."
Felicity squealed as she was excited for the new addition to their team and as well she wouldn't have to worry about Laurel being out on the field alone even though they have been doing this a long while now coming.
Oliver had obviously called Laurel but it turned out his ex girlfriend was busier than ever and well things had changed but when he showed up to her office she was typing away. "Oliver," Laurel knew she had totally forgot also the fact that she had forgotten her phone back at headquarters and wasn't much up to making the drive "right I said we could have lunch didn't we?"
"If you are busy we can always do this another time?" Oliver offered as he took note of the many files on her desk but Laurel of course was stubborn "That won't be necessary," Laurel grabbed her coat and one case file out of the many on her desk and shoved it in her book bag "so where did you plan on wanting to go for lunch?" Laurel asked as she had lead them out of the law firm "Belly burger?" Oliver suggested and the blonde woman only grinned and shook her head as they already by nature knew there way there "So what is this talk suppose to fix, Oliver?"
"Nothing," Oliver stated because he knew it wouldn't fix anything "I just don't want to seem like an asshole and I do want to sincerely apologize about Sara and well what happened between everything then. I know sorry won't fix it and not a million of them either but I plan to make up for it if you will let me also I know things won't go back to the way they use to be because you have moved on with your life."
Laurel wanted to hear him out and that was what she was going to do at least for him although she had wished the one that had survived on that island should have been her sister but that was low even for her. "We can't fix the past so that's why I moved because you can't do anything about it yet to some extent I despise you but because of you I had lost my sister even though I can't fully blame you because that was her choice. You didn't force her on that boat. I blame the both of you for the betrayal and that's not something that can be fix but you can try and make up for it." Oliver opened the door to belly burger for her as they walked in and grabbed a booth it was between what Laurel was telling me at how much he noticed that she had changed and well grown.
"I appreciate that," he appreciated that at the most she was talking and being honest with him since he thought they would do a dance around this "so I guess what I can do is move forward and eventually made have a spot back in your life although not like then because I am sure that's not going to happen."
Laurel laughed and nodded as they waitress came up and took their orders "I'm glad you are alive, Oliver." It took alot for her to say that in honesty and it had taken her years to stop blaming a dead man but she wasn't going to be childish about this because they both needed to move on with their lives.
"So what's your plan now that your back?" Laurel asked as she had taken a sip of her water as they awaited their food.
"Party," Oliver grinned "enjoy what I miss then find something steady a lot has changed since I came back from that island."
"Somehow you haven't change, just don't go causing trouble, because I won't be helping bail you out anytime soon." Laurel joked and Oliver smiled it felt like old times but both knew they were entirely different and new as well as mysterious to each other so they would have to learn about the other all over again.
