An Al Ghul

In Beacon Hills

Part 5

Disclaimer: And here we go yo! Apologies for lack of updates recently, been a bit busy and sidetracked by watching the From Dusk Till Dawn series again. This ignores the plot of 6A as well.

Summary: Nyssa's happy return to her life in Beacon Hills is about to receive some unfortunate news from an old friend.


Life for Nyssa Al Ghul-Stilinski had been fairly wonderful in her view. Especially after having finally returned to her home in Beacon Hills, California after so many years away from it thanks to her cruel father. Now admittedly, there had been some friction between her and her son Kameel, or Stiles, as he liked to be known as due to his anger and hurt over her having to leave them. And if it hadn't of been for his friends and his father locking her and Stiles in a room together to finally deal with his issues, things likely would have continued well on into April. That talk, along with her ending up saving his life from the mad man known as Peter Hale after his escape from Eichen, had massively improved things between mother and son. Something both Nyssa and her husband were massively happy about and so was Malia judging by her reactions. But the former Heir was about to receive some particularly unsettling news, and it would happen while folding clothes of all things. Something one probably wouldn't ever think of seeing her do! The ringing of her cell phone broke the peaceful tranquility in the Stilinski household, one that had been achieved thanks to a bit of music she'd begun to play.

Frowning to herself, she went for the cell and found herself smiling when she realized it was Laurel calling. "Surprising as it is to hear from you, Laurel, it is none the less, a welcome one." Greeted the woman after answering it.

"Unfortunately, I'm about to ruin that." Came the grim and surprising voice of Oliver 'Green Arrow' Queen.

"Ol-Oliver? Why are you on Laurel's phone?"

A sigh could be heard from him and it began to make the former Heir a bit worried. "Something… Something bad happened." Informed the man and her worry only increased because of it.

"Bad like what? Laurel is well, is she not?"

Cause God help the one who hurt her friend, for she would not be merciful. Another sigh could be heard from her 'Husband'. "Quentin, he's… Nyssa, Quentin's dead."

Hearing that was like feeling an arrow go right through her as her eyes widened in shock at the unexpected news. "He's, he's what!?"

A deep shuddery breath could be heard from Oliver. "There was a break out at Iron Heights last night… Quentin managed to get himself inside and if he hadn't… Laurel wouldn't be alive right now. He, he used one of my own arrows to stab Quentin."

Tears began to well up in Nyssa's eyes, as while Quentin Lance could be something of a gruff man, he was none the less, someone she had come to care about. And it wasn't just because of the fact he is the father of two girls she has come to care a great deal about in different ways. She barely registered a faint thumping sound as she asked him who used one of his arrows to kill Quentin. "I don't know if your father ever told you of him, but he's known as Damien Darhk. He, he used his magic to make the arrow go, go for him instead of Laurel." Oliver told her as tears began to fall down her face.

"He, he did. What… What I was told was nothing good." Nyssa replied as she cried in grief for Quentin. For the loss Laurel and Sara have been dealt with his death.

"So far, I'd say that's a fair assessment. Look, Nyssa… I don't, I don't know if you can make it, especially for the funeral, but Laurel needs you."

"I can, I can be there within a day. What of Sara, does she know?"

"Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get in touch. Whatever she's doing right now has made it impossible to reach her."

That didn't settle well with Nyssa at all and she wondered if it had anything to do with her new lot in life. But she would focus on that later. "I see. I'll see you soon." Replied Nyssa before hanging up and dropping the phone as she began to let out a loud cry of grief.

Not even realizing that the faint thump she heard before had been her falling down in her grief. The sight of her crying would be what Stiles would come home too and it shocked him to his core as he never thought he'd see such a thing from her. He rushed over to her and held on to his mother as she grievedand knew it couldn't be about his dad as he would have been called on the way home while Malia watched on, greatly unsure of what could or should be done. Some hours later would see Nyssa, Stiles, the Sheriff, and Malia at an airport in Star City, Washington as none of the three wanted her to deal with this on her own. John Diggle would even be the one to greet them. "Nyssa." Greeted the man.

"Mr. Diggle, is it just you?"

"Yeah, Oliver and Thea are with Laurel right now since neither thought it'd be a good idea to leave her on her own." Informed the Vet and gaining a nod of understanding from Nyssa.

"And Felicity?"

"Trying to do all she can to track down the son of a bitch that killed Lance."

"Damien Darhk will not make it an easy task to do, of that I can assure you." Though she would use any means to find him and take his head as a way to provide justice for the Lance family.

Dig looked grim at hearing that. "I was afraid of that. And if you don't mind my askin', who are the three with you?" As it was quite clear to him that they weren't just strangers.

"I'm Stiles, or Kameel as mom here likes to call me." Said the young man as he nodded in Nyssa's direction.

"I'm Sheriff Jameson Stilinski of Beacon Hills, California and Nyssa's husband. Unfortunately, I'm also this punk's father."

"HEY!"

Despite herself, Nyssa couldn't help the small smile that appeared on her face over her husband's teasing of their son. Dig himself was shocked by what he had just learned. "And I'm Malia, Stiles' girlfriend. I also kinda really hate Math." Informed the Brunette helpfully.

"I… Well, I'm too stunned right now to even remember my own name." Muttered Dig as he hadn't been expecting this at all!

Nyssa couldn't help but smirk at that for a short time before growing serious. "Come, Mr. Diggle, let us journey to Laurel's and perhaps in doing so, you'll be able to remember your name in full. Afterwards, I shall join the hunt for Damien Darhk."

Her words snapped him out of his shock as he looked at her and the three that had come with her in concern. "You sure that's a good idea with your family here with you?" He asked as he they began to make their way out of the airport.

"Given what they've experienced back in Beacon Hills? I have every faith they will be able to handle themselves quite well." Nyssa told him firmly.

"I might even be able to find this Darhk guy too if there's anything of his I can use to track his scent with if you guys have anything." Spoke up Malia and gaining a strange look from Dig.

One that she noticed. "What? I'm part Coyote." Added the girl seconds later, not seeing a problem with him knowing since apparently a friend of his was killed by magic and all that.

"Right. I'll, I'll just leave that one alone for right now."

And that was probably better for his health too! Stiles just snickered at the man's reaction while his dad just rolled his eyes. A short time later saw the group arrive at Laurel's and a tearful reunion would be had between Nyssa and Laurel while her family, and Malia in her mind was very much family, watched on with saddened looks on their faces. "Damien Darhk will pay, Laurel, this I promise." Vowed Nyssa dangerously and no one present wanted to argue against that promise.

Especially Oliver as the man had truly gone too far this time around.
