One of the days I wanted to just try lesbian pairings and this came to mind. Takes place post-Season 8 and I'm ignoring various things here, one of them being that Felicity left her children to be with Oliver in the afterlife, which was nothing but Guggenheim's fantasy come true again and as far as I'm concerned, Mia doesn't exist here, since Season 8 turned her into an arrogant little brat that thought she knew better than anyone and the fact that she basically told Oliver 'Screw you' for abandoning her, despite fully knowing why he did what he did, just ticked me off, alongside the planned Green Arrow and the Canaries spin-off, which was nothing more but feminism propaganda again but thankfully got scrapped.
In a lot of aspects, Felicity was more tolerable than Diggle post-Season 5, so I'm gonna portray her in a better light here. Diggle, not so much.

After the funeral, Sara was saying goodbye to Barry, who had decided to leave to Midway City to see Patty, since he wasn't with Iris in this new multiverse, thankfully and Sara was walking down the cemetery with Quentin and Laurel, her Laurel, since her Earth-2 doppelganger had returned to her restored Earth-2 to redeem herself as Earth-2 Black Canary, when Sara heard a familiar voice.
"Sara."
Sara turned to see Felicity. "Hey."
"Look, I… I know we've had our differences but…" Felicity hesitated. "I hope… I mean, Oliver meant a lot to both of us and I don't want how things turned out to change anything between us. I mean… I know how I have treated you at first and I'm sorry for it but I still want to be your friend. And if you need anything…"
Sara nodded, hugging Felicity. "Thanks. That means a lot."
Felicity walked off as Sara continued walking before she faced Diggle and the phrase 'if looks could kill' came to mind as Sara glared daggers, mentally burning two holes into the forehead of Diggle's skull.
"Look, Sara—" Diggle started before he whipped his face, feeling his lip split as he felt the metallic taste of blood on his tongue.
"You have a lot of nerve showing up, after what you've been through, after how you accused Oliver of being a murderer and your own hypocrisy and your audacity to speak at Ollie's funeral." Sara sneered, clenching her fist and cracking her knuckles.
"You turned your back on the kid time and time again, when he needed you and blamed him for your own issues, when you would've saved the life of a psychopath, who had no regards to innocent people as collateral damage, instead of millions of innocent and you think yourself a better hero than Oliver?" Slade growled as he stepped up. "There was a time I would've thought you a better brother than Oliver than I had been but after knowing how far have you fallen, the only reason I'm not going to kill you right here, right now is out of respect for what you and the kid had been through."
"If I ever see you again, you're gonna wish you had never come back from the dead after the Crisis. As far as I'm concerned, you're as dead to me as Ollie is, Dig." Sara said and Diggle actually paled upon seeing the glares Sara and Slade were giving him. Even though Diggle had seen that glare from Slade, when he was under the influence of Mirakuru and from Sara, when she was soulless after being resurrected by the Lazarus Pit, the fact that the relentless rage was now aimed at him, horrified him.
Sara later walked down the cemetery to meet Cisco and Caitlin as they hugged each other.
"Thanks for coming." Sara said.
"It was the least we could do after you attended Barry's funeral." Cisco said.
"Sara, if you need anything…" Caitlin said.
Sara nodded. "Thanks." She pulled away, wiping her tears.
As Sara walked down the graveyard, she moved past place where had once been Laurel's own grave, as she was now resurrected in this new universe with Quentin and Earth-2 Laurel returned home, while stopping at Oliver's gravestone. She reminisced about a lot of things, when she felt a hand touching hers as she turned to face her former lover.
"How are you doing, beloved?" Nyssa asked.
Sara took a breath. "Like if I betrayed Ollie." Nyssa looked at her in confusion. "When things came to seams, when I was at the crossroads… rather than let Ollie help me, I ran. Twice. And after losing Laurel and then Dad, I didn't want to face that pain and loss and guilt, so…" She breathed out.
"Sara… everyone deals with grief and guilt differently." Nyssa assured. "Dwelling on 'could have' will only bring you more pain than your guilt already does. If you want to do right by Oliver, do what he wanted us to do. Keep fighting for what we all fight for."
Sara considered as she and Nyssa smiled at each other, buried feelings resurfacing now.
In Nyssa's apartment, there were clothes scattered on the floor, with fragments of a shattered vase and flowers and water as soft moans came from the bedroom. Both girls were gently caressing the skin on their naked bodies, with Nyssa's fingers tickling the muscles on Sara's arms, while Sara rubbed Nyssa's breasts as they kissed, with their legs entangled beneath the covers of the bed before both of them were tired and panting out in exhaustion, the sweat soaking into the bedsheets.
"It has been a long time, beloved, hasn't it?" Nyssa said.
"Honestly… feels like yesterday." Sara said as they kissed before Nyssa pulled away.
"For what it's worth… I am sorry, Sara." Nyssa said as Sara looked in confusion. "Back then, when you left… I never truly understood love. But I cared about you and thought you were all mine and the fact that you would choose your family over me… If I'd understood the love back then, I might have acted differently and I can't change what I did but I understand now."
Sara nodded, knowing Nyssa had come a long way since then. "It doesn't matter anymore. Both of us have changed. And I just… I wish things had been different between us."
Nyssa nodded as Sara rested her head on Nyssa's shoulder, with Nyssa brushing Sara's hair with her fingers.
"Ollie sacrificed his own life so that we could all get a second chance. But what good is it, if things might be worse for everyone?" Sara asked.
"Perhaps we should be ready if it happens again. The League of Assassins was formed to replace evil with death. And my sister mentioned that Thea was forming some League of Heroes. Perhaps we should form one." Nyssa said as an idea sparked in Sara's mind.
"You're right." Sara said as she picked her phone and dialed a number.
Gotham City
The Bat-Signal shined on the sky and a caped man approached the rooftop of GCPD, where was waiting for him a black-hooded woman.
"Nyssa al Ghul. What do you want in my city?" Batman asked.
"I have a proposition for you, Mr. Grayson." Nyssa said.
DEO, National City
J'onn J'onnz and Alex Danvers were doing their usual work, when their phones rang and they answered the call.
"What is it, Sara?" Alex asked.
London
Diana Prince was helping a museum curator with an exhibition, when suddenly, everything around her froze, as if time itself had stopped.
The whole room suddenly went dark as in front of Diana appeared a green-hooded figure. Diana took a closer look as the figure lowered its hood to reveal the face of Oliver Queen.
"You should be dead…" Diana said.
"Death… is not always the ending, as you know, Diana of Themyscira." The Specter said, with his voice distorted, as if thousands of Olivers were speaking at once as Diana nodded.
"So, you've become a ghost? A demigod?" Diana questioned.
"That's one way to see it. And if you're finding yourself at a crossroads and uncertain of your purpose, there is a place where you might be welcome." The Specter said.
Hall of Justice
The place, which once served as S.T.A.R. Labs hangar and which was their base of operations when the Dominators arrived, was turned into a giant lair fitted with lab, lockers with equipment and weaponry, hi-tech computers and in the middle was a round conference table, where Sara, Nyssa, Thea, Roy, Clark and Wally were holding a meeting, when Diana, Dick and J'onn arrived.
"Let's go to work." Sara said.
Now, full disclosure, my feelings about Sara/Nyssa are mixed. And before any Laurel fanatic comes attacking me that I'm a bigot or that Sara and Nyssa are forever or that Oliver and Laurel are forever, I'm telling you, don't waste your own and my time and shut it. I don't really give a damn about what you think and if trying to roast me is how you want to waste your times, especially given what's going on out there, then all you will be proving is how immature you are and how empty, pathetic and meaningless your lives must be, if you have nothing better to do.
I certainly didn't like how it was handled in Season 2, since Nyssa just came off as a possessive stalker who would emotionally manipulate Sara by playing on her own vulnerability and if Sara were in her right mind, she wouldn't so easily forgive Nyssa poisoning Laurel or kidnapping Dinah. But after Season 3, considering the Legends episode, where Nyssa briefly showed up, I can see it work.
And after all that crap Diggle had pulled throughout the show, especially in the series finale, with accusing Oliver of being a killer, when Adam Hunt and Martin Sommers for example, are still alive, he was the LAST person to do the eulogy and the excuses for not bringing Slade were nothing but excuses.
To be blunt, I hate Sara/Ava. Before the clone reveal, despite how rushed and a bit forced it was, I could see the appeal but then, how they kept shoving it down our throats just infuriated me. While it probably makes sense Sara would move past the clone thing, the pairing, alongside that before that in Seasons 1-2 the writers kept shoving in Sara making out with girls and then Sara's one-night stand with Alex in Crisis on Earth-X, just ticked me off. Legends of Tomorrow turned Sara into her lame knock-off, Sasha. She didn't give a damn about Quentin after Lian Yu blew up and was more concerned about hooking up with Alex and didn't care about the fact that her sister's evil doppelganger terrorized Star City and then tarnished Laurel's good name to save her own ass.
Also, the Justice League we got in Arrowverse became meaningless, when Kara and Super-Friends had to fight Lex Luthor and Leviathan, a covert terrorist organization, all on their own and Freeland was invaded by a foreign country and Black Lightning had to fend them off alone. I wish the writers had been more competent with how to handle Justice League in Arrowverse but that might because of how COVID-19 botched things up regarding productions of the shows. Frankly, the concept of Justice League could've come up in Invasion, when Oliver, Barry and Kara still had good dynamic and that could've been explored more in Crisis on Earth-X, which ultimately became nothing but WestAllen and Olicity pandering, since the fact that they came up with JL after the Crisis, considering the threats they had fought before in the crossovers, just makes it stupid, flat and pointless. And the idea in Arrow 8x03 with Thea and Talia forming the League of Heroes was interesting up until we saw the result in the aftermath of the Crisis, which felt disappointing.
So, no Kate Kane or Batwoman and instead we got Dick Grayson as Batman. Barry is also dead in this story, the way he should have died in comics too, since the fact that they killed off 1990's Flash just made his show pointless, alongside how they ruined Smallville or the disrespect to Kevin Conroy and Kara is also dead, both of them getting their deaths from comics and Wally and Clark are continuing their legacies.
And Oliver remained The Spectre, and he became a guide to new heroes in the new multiverse, which would be much better than Guggenheim's dreamed Olicity afterlife and yes, he convinced Diana (Wonder Woman) to join as well and I'm always imagining DCEU's Gal Gadot's version of Wonder Woman, but I'm ignoring WW84, since that one was just a disgrace to the first Wonder Woman film.
So, what do you guys think?
Please review and let me know if you have enjoyed this one-shot.
