Chapter 7
I do not own anything I give all credit to the creators of the show and comic. If I fall apart structurally in area's I apologize. Finding a Beta who could handle my hectic schedule isn't easy. Please Review
Note: I got the names a bit messed up so here is a key
Sara =Oliver and Felicities child
Layla= Diggle and his wife's child
Sorry for the mistake but I prefered for Oliver and Felicities baby to be named Sara and for Diggle and his wife's baby to carry her moms name.
Dinner
Felicity looked over the tunics and chose and hunter green colored one with a darker colored pair of leggings along with a dark green almost black floor length cloak. Felicity went to her bag and pulled out Olivers face mask slipping it over her face "When I slept with your father and created you he wasn't Rag Al Gul. He was Oliver Queen aka the Arrow and the savior of our city. I had loved him from the minute we met and I was about to loose him to this world because the original Demon had nearly killed your aunt Thea and the only way to save her was to exchange her life for his freedom," Felicity explained.
"Do you still love him," Sara asked as she took a Blood red tunic and black legging and Black cloak.
"I never stopped but long ago we set down the rules for us and we haven't broken them in 21 years though I must admit I bent one or two," Felicity said slipping on a pair of ballet slippers on.
A Guard knocked on the door and opened it to Diggle and Layla waiting in the hall. Layla was wearing a Dark Purple Tunic and black leggings and a Dark Purple Cloak. Diggle wore a standard white shirt and white pants with a Dark Green knee length tunic over it. Sarab arrived and escorted everyone to the center of Nada Parbat.
In the center of Nada Parbat were the honeycomb layered stories of the citadel in what Sara only assumed was normally an active intense training area. Plants and candelabras decorated the area softening the appearance of the ropes, swords, and weaponry. In the center of the room was a large round stone table draped in silk clothes surrounded with wooden chairs that were lined in dark silks like the table cloth was talking to Nissa when the group entered but stopped talking when he saw Felicity and gave a grin not unlike that of mischievous school boy. Oliver walked up to Felicity and smiled as he gently pulled down her hood and released her hair from its constraints. Then smiling even wider he removed her mask and laughed. Oliver held the mask in his hands and smiled. "Been a long time since I've seen this mask," Oliver said kissing Felicity on the head.
Oliver offered Felicity his arm witch she gladly took holding it close but found when he offered his free arm to Sara who turn it down but Oliver understood, her world had changed rapidly in the past 12 hours. Oliver Pulled out a chair at the table to his right side for Felicity and at his left side for Sara. Nissa offered Layla the seat to her left beside Sara giving her moral support and Diggle took the seat beside Felicity leaving one seat open on Nissa's right side. "Is Barry joining us," Diggle asked with a chuckle
"No we leave one seat open to honor the memories of the ones we lost," Nissa said tipping her glass to the seat and sipping the wine. Oliver nodded his head in understanding.
"Ohh before I forget," Felicity said with a smile, "Barry and the family send their warm heroic salutation," Felicity said using Barry's exact world
"Can u believe he has 8 kids," Oliver said with a wide grin toasting to Felicity.
"I've often wondered if he has sex as fast as he moves. I mean on a cellular level he is in constant movement so given the intense hormone activity does that trigger a hyper speed sex drive," Sara said rambling and Oliver spit out the wine he had just taken a sip of.
"Defiantly your daughter Ms. Smoak," Nissa said with a grin and a chuckle.
"Sara Moira Smoak, why in the name of all holy deities would you even think of Barry Allen in such a manner," Felicity spouted red faced as Oliver just laughed.
"Mom I graduated medical school by 10. I have written more papers on the so call Meta Humans that I am considered a somewhat expert. I've seen Caitlin's complete records on Barry's transformation and how the speed effects his body, though I would never write a paper on him. I just wondered aloud what I have wondered in secret for quite a time but I know not to voice to many odd questions around Layla," she said turning to her best friend, "she already thinks I am a freak choosing to be a solider rather than a Doctor or Scientist," Sara said with a laugh.
"Something I find myself wondering as well. Often," Felicity said rolling her eyes.
Oliver turned to Felicity, "She is both of us. You balanced out me by knowing WAY too many facts about the most insane of topics and well Diggle said I balanced you out," Oliver said having never understood how he balanced Felicity out.
"You taught me to face my fears head on and to stop hiding in my books and computers and embrace the world around me. And if I didn't like the way world I lived in was to change it," Felicity said smiling with a reflective grin.
Assassins entered bringing trays of food and presenting them first to Oliver then to Nissa then placing them on the table for all to enjoy. One last Assassin entered and filled all the wine glasses then he left as well. Nissa smiled at the tradition Oliver had started among the Assassins of honoring the fallen when they ate meals. Oliver lifted his goblet and tilted it toward the empty seat, "To those who have come before and no longer dwell in this world we celebrate your life and are thankful for your sacrifice," Oliver said. Nissa smiled widely placing her hand next to what would have been Sara's seat and closing her eyes seeing her long dead wife, lover and friend in her mind.
"How are you two married if you're a lesbian," Layla asked Nissa?
"For Christ sakes girl," Diggle said.
"It is quite all right Mr. Diggle. Oliver and I were forced to marry by my father Layla, and after his death stayed married to keep the League united. I am sure all of the Assassins know the truth but seeing the Blood Heir and the Prophesied Heir united in Marriage is in many ways reassuring to them and since Oliver will not have to choose an Heir himself for centuries we have time to consider a successor to the throne," Nissa said with a chuckle.
"I ask Aunt Laurel and Lance about Sara but they seem to get lost in the memories and no one ever talks about her but Grandma well history books write about her and Aunt Thea and Uncle Ray talk about her non-stop. Christmas they both go so overboard it isn't funny and when I asked Thea why she always says 'It was always my moms favorite time of year.' I remember growing up in the mansion around Christmas time and every inch of it was decked out with wreath and tree's and of course Hanukah decorations to," Sara said with a chuckle to her mom.
"You lived in my house," Oliver acted shocked and Felicity shook her head.
"Ohh Come one Oliver I know for a fact the League owns Satellites in space and you have one permanently tasked over Starling
"It's been so long I forgot what a smart ass you are," he said aching to kiss her and to pull her into him.
Nissa saw the look in their shared eyes and wished for the same.
"You must miss Sara so much," Layla said to Nissa.
"In ways few can imagine," Nissa said nodding to Oliver and he smiled
"Speaking of family how is it you are my father," Sara said staring Oliver dead on with the intense start Felicity remembered well from working with Oliver. Felicity chuckled and smiled.
