N/B I wanted to get this chapter out before anymore of the Sara storyline happened. There's a brief bit about who killed her in my mind, and why. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

'Are you hurt Felicity Smoak, MIT 2009?' Nyssa reached out her hand to help the other woman up.

'Uh no, I'm fine thanks to you.' Felicity suddenly remembered the last time Nyssa had been here. 'How are you doing?'

'I do not think this is the place to have a conversation.' Nyssa grabbed her hand again and pulled her away. It was a short distance before they turned and ducked into an alleyway.

Felicity looked around and wondered what they were doing there. Nyssa suddenly pulled her knife out. 'Uhhhh so you saved me, so you could hurt me?' She stuttered.

The assassin just chuckled. 'You are very cute Felicity. I need to make rips in your skirt so you can climb on the back of my bike. I'm sorry I did not get a chance to find a more suitable mode of transportation for you. I will make sure that in the future I will think of your choice of clothing.'

'What's wrong with my outfits?' Felicity frowned as she looked down at herself, and then remembered other parts of the conversation. 'What do you mean next time?'

'Felicity we have to go now. Do I have your permission to slit your skirt so we can get you to safety?'

The blonde ponytail bobbed as she nodded her head in agreement. Nyssa knelt at her feet and made to slits in the front over her thighs. She stood move behind her and made two more.

'This so cannot be mended now.' Felicity looked down at one of her favourite outfits.

'I will buy you a new one to replace it.' The attractive brunette appeared in front of her smiling.

'You saved me; you don't need to buy me a skirt.'

'Very well, are you ready to leave now?'

'Yes Nyssa, where are we going? You're not doing this so you can kidnap me and sell me into slavery or something?'

Nyssa couldn't help the smile, the first time she had met Felicity she not only found her attractive, but intriguing as well. With everything she had seen and done there was still an innocence about her. Just by speaking to her, you knew she was a good person. Nyssa had not met that many truly good people in her life.

'I am taking you back to your friends. No harm will befall you.'

Felicity couldn't say anything as she was dragged to a bike. She waited until Nyssa was on the bike and she climbed on behind her. She shook her head at the lack of grace as she moved to get onto the bike. Once settled she wrapped her arms around the assassins waist. Her arms tightened as soon as they started to move. Nyssa couldn't help, but smile at the feel of Felicity's body pressed against her back. She loved Sara and still missed her, but she was still human. Who wouldn't be turned on with an attractive woman wrapped around them?

Diggle sat at one of the desks cleaning his gun. He always knew to make sure it was ready to be used, with the life he led now things could go to hell very quickly. He looked over at Oliver who was filling up his quiver with an assortment of arrows. They never knew what ones were needed. Diggle was finally happy with his life. He worked with a team helping people; he also had a woman he loved and a beautiful daughter. All he wanted now was for Oliver and Felicity to be happy, together. They both love each other, and she balanced him out perfectly. If only Oliver would give them a chance.

'Hello again.' A seductive voice called out

Both men turned and stood ready to attack.

'No, don't do anything.' Felicity ran to stand in front of the assassin.

Oliver's eyes fell down to her skirt and the long slits that bare a lot of thigh. He could see the jagged edges and knew that a knife had cut into the material. What the hell had happened?

'What's going on Felicity?' Oliver growled he didn't trust this woman.

'Nyssa saved me. Someone had seen me talking to Ray, and they tried to grab me just after I got off the phone with you. She suddenly appeared and rescued me.' Felicity turned and smiled at the other woman.

'Are they dead?' Diggle asked.

'No, I did not kill them.'

'Did the men try to rape you?' Oliver wanted to find those men and kill them if they had tried.

Felicity looked down at her skirt. 'Oh no, it was Nyssa. My skirt was too tight to be able to straddle.' She shook her head in disbelief. '3, 2, 1 the bike, to straddle the motorbike that she was using.'

'What are you doing here?' Diggle wanted to know.

Nyssa looked down at the floor, for a moment. When she looked back up there was sadness in her eyes. 'When I left I wanted revenge on the person who stole away my soul, my Sara. I went and saw my father, but when he spoke about her something did not seem right to me. I found out he was the one that ordered her death. I spoke to the league about this. My father had not told them what he had planned for her. They were not happy. She had come back and had been faithful to us. The reason he did not like her was because of me. My father hated the apparent pull she had on me. So to stop that he had her killed.' Felicity moved back and took hold of her hand. Nyssa smiled at her thankful for the support. 'The league dealt with him, I was not allowed to be told what that was. They didn't know what I would do. I was released from my vows. I needed to do something in the memory of Sara, which is all I had left. I wanted to be here in case her family needed help. Then I remembered how she talked about Felicity. How kind and caring she was. A truly good person who dealt with so many bad ones.' Nyssa turned to look at the blonde. 'Sara found it funny how fascinated I found you. I thought you were beautiful, but it was more than that.'

Felicity ducked her head and blushed. Oliver jaw clenched as he forced himself not to reach out and pull his girl Wednesday into his arms. He couldn't do that though, when he told her they couldn't be together he had given up the right to be jealous.

'So you here for the Lances?' Oliver asked not sure what he thought about that.

'I will be here to help them if needed, but no I am not here for them.' The former assassin paused for a moment. 'I am here to protect Felicity. I will watch over her to make sure she remains safe. That the bright light she is, does not fade in the darkness of this world, she finds herself in.'

'So you're my guardian then?' Felicity asked curiously.
