Chapter 4

"I am Nyssa, daughter of Ra's Al Ghul, hair to the demon"

Everyone was silent, nobody knew what to say. They didn't know who this girl was but they dare not say anything out of line, power and authority rolled off her in waves and she stood there with a straight posture and her head held high. You could not see her face because he had not stepped into the light yet but as soon as she did Quintin Lance spoke up. "You're the woman who kidnapped Dinah and who poisoned Laurel" She started walking towards the group nodding as she went. "Yes detective that was me and i am sorry for what i did, i wanted to get Sara's attention and i saw no other way" She stopped in front of the group standing with her hands behind her back. "Why?, what did you want Sara for and how did you not see another way. How does she even know you?"

Nyssa allowed a small smile to grace her face and reached out to grab Sara's hands from her lap and haul her onto her feet. Her hands secured themselves round the blonde's waist while hers settled round Nyssa's neck playing with the wispy bits of hair at the back of her neck. One look in her lovers eyes and Nyssa could no longer wait, she leaned in captured Sara's mouth with her own, arms tightening round her waist pulling her as close as possible while Sara closed her eyes and sighed, melting into the arms of the Assassin. Sara was not expecting it, she should have been because she knew that Nyssa did not care about PDA. She was the type of person who would do whatever whenever and could not care less, if people did not like it they they did not watch.

The couple pulled apart, both with big smiles and glinting eyes. Sara's face went bright red when she remembered that everyone was watching which earned a chuckle from the other woman. "Nice to see you again Oliver, Felicity and Mr Diggle" Oliver nodded once, Diggle gave a small wave and Felicity greeted with a Hi. "Wait I'm confused what is happening none of my questions have been answered yet, what is it with everyone keeping secrets?" Once again it was Laurel who spoke up. "Ok, i wanted to get Sara's attention because i wanted her to come not only back to the league as my father requested but also to come back to me. I did not see another way because that was how i was brought up and Sara knows me because i am the one that rescued her from the water when the Amazo went down" Nyssa said as she sat down crossed legged on the floor pushing the bottom of her coat behind her and pulling Sara onto her lap and once again securing her arms around the other woman.

"What is the league?" Thea's voice was heard from the other end of the group. Sara looked round at Nyssa to see her nod her head, a sign of confirmation that she was allowed to tell the truth about everything. Nyssa gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and started stroking her hand with her thumb absent-mindedly. Sara took a deep breath before she started speaking.

"Well when the Amazo went down i was alone, Oliver was nowhere to be seen and i was injured, i was just waiting to die because it was too hard to stay alive, i didn't have any fight left in me. Then Nyssa found me there and she took me in. She took me to Nanda Parbat and healed my wounds, she nursed me back to health and in return I swore my alliance to The League. The League of Assassins, they are a deadly group of Assassins who can get in, kill and get out without anyone ever realising they were there. They are quick and silent. They trained me, taught me how to survive and how to fight. Me and Nyssa grew closer quite fast. When she had brought me in and laid me down on a couch to grab a few things a lot of people gave me bad looks and whispered but as soon as she came back in and gave them all a glare they all scrammed and even i wa`s scared, but then she carried me into her room and started tending to my wounds. She was so gentle and caring. I had seen the bad side and the good side of her in one day, then i later found out that not many people have ever seen her good side and she had been there since she was born."

Sara looked around the room and everyone was sat either staring at her and Nyssa or looking into their hands, they realised that Sara had been through so much and had to sacrifice so much just to stay alive. "Wait you joined a group of deadly assassins just because one of them saved your life, you threw your freedom away just like that and never thought about it?" Laurel stood up outraged that her sister would join a group of warriors that kill people and don't think twice about and they don't see that as wrong. "I owe the League everything, without Nyssa i would have died very slowly and very painfully, i wouldn't be here if it was not for her" Sara also stood up and faced her sister wanting her to understand that she needed to do what she did to survive and maybe one day return to her family. "Then why did you leave if you owe them so much?" the older lance sister took a step towards her sister as if challenging her and the younger sister did the same.

"Because i couldn't take the killing any more. I don't have much of a soul left in me, but what there was couldn't take the killing any more. That is why i am not with them." Sara shouted in her face when she was toe to toe with her sister. "You have no idea what i went through there, things i had to do and the training i had to go through to prove myself to them. It was not easy to do what i did, but i did it so that i could survive and so that maybe i could come back here and be with you guys again." she stated continued calmer than before. Laurel's eyes started to fill with unshed tears as she finally realised that her sister had not been selfish and only thought of herself, she had done this for her and their dad and their mom, Sara had put herself though so much in order to do something that may never happen.

Laurel gave a sigh and wrapped her sister in a hug. "I'm sorry, i know i don't know what you went through but it must have been a lot, I mean you were there for 4 years and I have seen all the scars and burns and other marks on your back so I'm guessing that whatever happened was not good, but you did it anyway" the two sisters pulled back smiling at each other as they shared another moment, they hadn't been as close when she came back from when she went on the boat but they were working on it. You don't just come back to life and expect everything to be the same as when you left it.

The trance snapped as an arrow went flying past Laurel narrowly missing her head, she screamed and jumped the opposite way while turning round. Roy was there with Sara's bow in his hand and a sheepish and nervous look on his face. He muttered a sorry and quickly put down the bow back into the box. "next time, aim" Sara said as she walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder earning a chuckle from thee rest of team arrow and dead silence from the rest of them.

"What are the bows for anyway? And does any of you know how to even shoot one?" Walter asked as he eyed the bow that was now sat in the box. Team arrow all shared a knowing look one that said, well they were going to find out sooner or later anyway. They did not like it, reviling Oliver's secret but in a place like this it was all going to come out eventually. Oliver looked over to Felicity to see a small reassuring smile on her face and a slight nod of her head gave him the courage he needed to admit it. He knew she would stand by him even if everyone else deserted him, she would still be there.

"The bows are for hunting food when we run out of what's in this bag and yes both me and Sara are pretty good with a bow. Roy is learning at the moment." Oliver answered Walters question while he picked his bow up and pulled it back without an arrow in. When he returned the bow back to it's box next to Sara's he turned back around the face the group. "Hunting food? What do you mean?" his mother asked eyeing the bow out of the corner of her confused eyes.

"I mean that once we run out of this food then me and Sara will go hunting so that we can all eat" he picked the bag up and showed them what was inside, which was not much. It would only last them until the next morning. Everyone looked a little sick of the idea of having to eat animals that they had caught but it did not look like they had much of a choice if they wanted to not starve to death.

"How are you going to be able to catch animals, surely you are not that good an archer, nobody is" Moira piped up from the back not believing that her son could be that good, not that she doubted it but it just did not seem possible.

"Apart from the Vigilante" Quintin stated then his eyes opened wide as the realisation dawned on him. Oliver shut his eyes for a moment and licked his lips nervously. Everyone was now staring at him silently asking him if it was true and all he could do was nod to confirm their question.

"Why? Why did you become the Arrow?" Laurel asked, that question had been expected by everyone even him, he knew that re opening old wounds and sealed memories was going to be hard but they all deserved to know the truth.

"Because of my father" they all grew confused as everyone thought Robert Queen died when the Gambit went down. "He did not die on the Gambit, he made it to the life raft where he pulled me out of the water. There was me, him and a crew member on the life raft but there was not enough food or water for us all so he killed the other guy and then shot himself in the head, but not before telling me to survive, to make it home and right his wrongs, make the city a safer place. I couldn't do that as Oliver Queen so I created the Arrow" By the time he had finished everyone looked a little upset over the story they had just heard but Moira and Thea were openly crying as they heard what Robert did so that Oliver could live. There was a gasp from Moira as she realised that her son had seen his father shoot himself so that he could live.

"Oh my beautiful boy" Moira quickly stepped forward and pulled her son into a hug. She whispered she was sorry into his ear over and over again, Oliver returned the hug and allowed himself to feel a little emotion, something he doesn't normally do but it was becoming more and more frequent. After Moira had stopped shaking indicating she had stopped crying he pulled back from the hug and kissed her on the cheek telling her it was ok that he came to terms with a long time ago.

A few more questions had been asked such as how he had got to the island and how he survived and how he became such good an archer because he had not known how to shoot before he got shipwrecked.

"Shado taught me how to shoot the bow declaring i had to know how to fight not only with my body but with a weapon too. It was not easy to learn and i imagine it was not to teach me either. It took a long time but i finally managed it. When i first started I was worse that Roy when he first started, Shado took me into the middle of the forest and gave me the bow and an arrow then showed me how to hold it right. She told me to pull the string back and focus on the things around me, the wind and the sounds. Then after that she only said two things for the next couple of hours. Set your sight, hit the tree. I let the arrow go and it went wide of the tree, very wide. I just looked at her and smiled and said probably hit a tree. Suffice to say she was not impressed."

After the stories had finished for the night and everyone had settled down to sleep exempt Oliver who was taking first watch. Nobody had gone to sleep yet but everyone was sat in their places quietly chatting amongst each other when they heard a loud Oh My God!

"I shot you, I shot my own son!" Moira exclaimed putting her hands over her mouth and looks shocked at her son who was wearing a small smile on his face.

"I was wondering when she was going to get to that" Diggle said with a small chuckle which got louder when everyone else from team Arrow started laughing.
