Sorry this took so long to update :( I had computer issues… URGENT: wasn't sure which episode of Arrow closest to this chapter so I kinda guess (don't hate me if I got it wrong) but 'cause Barry got hit in Episode 9 'Three Ghosts' so my guess is a few after that (cause the time in these series are screwed up…)


5 months later…

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Maya felt groggy. She could hear a distant bleep in the background, but something was playing over it.

'… If you see Kay will you tell her that I love her, and if you see Kay let her know I want her back, if she listens say I'm missing everything about her…'

It was 'If You See Kay' by the Script, Maya loved this song.

"How do you even know she likes this song?" a female voice exclaimed.

"Simple: I checked her Facebook, 'Maya Robinson posted: loving 'If You See Kay' by the Script', god, duh Caitlin," a male voice replied.

"You really confuse me sometimes, Cisco," Caitlin replied.

Suddenly the heart monitor sped up. Beep, beep. Beep, beep. Beep, beep. Maya shot up, regaining feeling in her whole body.

"Oh my god!" Cisco yelled, jumping back, "Caitlin! Caitlin, she's awake!"

Maya pulled all the wires off, dropping from the bed and rolling to a wall, "Where the hell am I?"

"S.T.A.R. Labs, you're in S.T.A.R. Labs," Caitlin supplied quickly, "you're safe, we were monitoring you after you-."

"Were hit by a surge of energy, which in reality should have killed you, but instead you ended up in a coma which somehow saved you-," Cisco was cut off.

"Coma?!" Maya exclaimed, "for how long?"

"Five months. Welcome back to the land of the living Miss Robinson."

The trio turn to see Harrison Wells sitting in a wheelchair by the door.

"Thanks?" Maya said uncertainly.


The Maya was walking around S.T.A.R. Labs as Harrison explained what happened with the Particle Accelerator and how it sent out a shockwave into the sky.

"I do have one question," Maya sighed at the end.

"What's that?" Wells asked.

"What happened to Barry?"

"He's still in a coma."

"Oh," Maya faked checking her watch and grimacing, "look it's almost, whatever, I need to go."

Maya turned to walk out of the door of the room they had just walked into with Caitlin and Cisco.

"Wait!" Caitlin yelled, "we still need to run some tests."

"No, Caitlin's right," Wells agreed, "now that you are awake we need to still need to run some more tests."

"Well I feel fine, I really should go," Maya insisted, jogging out the door, she then popped her head back around briefly, "but you don't mind if I keep the sweatshirt do you?"

Wells waved his hand to say keep it and Maya ran off again.


Maya burst through the doors of CC Jitters breathing heavily with her dark blonde curls plastered to her face. She stopped dead at the sight of that Detective Pretty Boy and Iris standing next to each other kissing, when they pulled apart Iris glanced away briefly and caught sight of Maya; her eyes sprouted tears but her face broke into a grin.

"Maya!" Iris yelled, running over to her best friend and enveloping her in a bone breaking hug, "you-you're awake, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, just wondered what you were doing with Detective Pretty Boy over there- I thought you hated him," Maya raised an eyebrow.

"I kinda do, but I also kinda like him."

"But you were… canoodling! With him. In Jitters."

"We were not 'canoodling' thank you."

Maya gave her a 'really' look, and then the TV news caught her attention. It was of Moira Queen, she was campaigning for mayor, and Maya knew she had a shocked look on her face from the worried look Iris gave her.

"What's wrong with you?" Iris laughed.

"Just worried about Moira Queen, do you think she can win against Blood?" Maya chattered.

"Why do you care?" Iris inquired, she then held up her hand, "wait, let me guess: you know the Queens as well."

Maya tried a smile and Iris' jaw fell open, "I was joking!"

"Oh, I know," Maya shrugged, "but I wasn't."

"How many people do you know?!"

"A lot, anyway, I'm here to say hello, but I can see you're…" Maya trailed off as the TV focused in on someone else, her eyes widened, "Ollie…"

Oliver Queen was on the screen, he stood by the podium and was telling the crowd about how he supported his mother, his hair was shorter than before and his once mischievous and constantly amused eyes were serious and hard- what had happened to him in those five years?

"What? Maya? Hello? Earth to Maya," Iris snapped her fingers in front of the blonde's face, "what's up with you?"

"Nothing, hey have fun with Eddie, I'm gonna go see Joe, you know where he is?"

"He should still be at the office, if he's not try back home."

"Thanks."


Maya caught a taxi to the police department, borrowing some money from Iris. She broke through the doors and ran into the main area where most the officers were, the minuet she walked through the second door Joe saw her, he stood from his chair and smiled.

"Hey Joe," Maya smiled, accepting the hug off him.

"Thank god you're okay, how's Barry? Is he here?" Joe glanced behind her anticipating the brunette to walk through the door any moment.

"I'm sorry Joe, he's still under," Maya couldn't lie. She's been back just under an hour and already she was worrying about Barry- she should just be happy she actually woke up.

"But he's stable? You're fine too, right?"

"I'm fine, and yes he's stable," Maya took a deep breath as she looked up at Joe, "I have some… things I need to sort out, loose ends, and Barry being in a coma… this is just really stressing me out."

"What do you mean?" Joe asked, his brow furrowed.

"I need to go visit an old friend, I can't be here right now."

"Where are you going? Do you have to go?"

"Starling and yes I have to, I need to tie up some loose ends…"

Joe seemed wary, "If you're sure, and if you have to."

"I have to."


The next day,

17:46…

"Do you have to go…?" Iris complained pleadingly, holding onto Maya's arm as she headed for the door.

"Yes I do, but don't worry, it's only for a few months," Maya laughed, half dragging Iris as she edged towards the door.

Iris sighed, letting go, "Fine, but you have to Skype me, like, every night- and I know you took your laptop, it's like an extension of your hands."

Maya smiled as she picked up her large, black duffel bag and a black trunk, she opened the door and winced as the cold air hit her.

"So this is it," Joe sighed, placing an arm on Iris' shoulder.

"God guys, you make it sound like I'm leaving forever, I'll be back before you know it," Maya rolled her eyes.

"Starling City is a dangerous place, you don't know…" Joe trailed off from the look Maya gave him.

"Former assassin remember," Maya reminded, she shook her head, "don't panic, Joe, I'll be fine."

She finished strapping her duffel bag onto where the small, higher up second seat was, fastening the trunk on top, luckily her bike wasn't one of those long ones, but a dark blue motorbike.

Maya shoved her phone and keys in her black leather jacket pocket and pulled on her black helmet, climbing onto the bike. She waved as she took off down the street, staring the journey to Starling City.


An hour or so later Maya pulled up just outside the castle-looking mansion. She noticed a sleek, black car- obviously very expensive- and nodded approvingly. As she came up to the door she caught sight of a blonde sneaking around the back of the mansion, a boy coming up behind her an another man setting up a massive gun- but it wasn't aimed at her anyway- so she shook it off and took a deep breath, she then knocked lightly on the door.

"I'll get it," someone inside announced stiffly.

The door was pulled open and the man let out a sigh of relief, "Sara thank God you're here, Sla…"

Maya looked up and smiled at the man as he trailed off, his eyes widened and his face went pale.

"Hey Ollie."


Maya went back to Starling City to see Ollie! I wonder how that will go down… Next chapter should be up today or tomorrow as well because this one is way over due, leave your thoughts on this in the comments?!
