Timeline: After Sara leaves Star City, before she is recruited by Rip Hunter.
Chapter 1 – Moving Day – Sara Lance
"Sara are you sure you want to move into this place. It doesn't exactly scream friendly." Laurel eyed the buzzer system that appeared to be out of order and the camera she was sure didn't work.
Sara tried her best not to role her eyes. Only her sister would be concerned about her safety and ignore the fact that if she lost control she could kill everyone in the building in the blink of an eye. "I'll be fine Laurel. Besides, I'm not the one you should be worried about." With the bloodlust she'd become unpredictable and at times out of control. This place wasn't the nicest of places she could have moved into but she needed to get away from the "normal" people of the city. Staying in Star City was out of the question, especially with Thea being so close, she couldn't risk going after her again the next time the bloodlust hit. Out here she could lose a bit of control and no one would care, they'd just assume she was coming off of a high. "I'll be fine." She repeated. "Look they even have locks on the front door to keep people out."
Laurel sighed. "I just got you back, I don't think I can handle losing you again." She hugged Sara. The hug felt awkward and stiff, it wasn't the hugs she'd grown up used to. Growing up Sara had always been the warmer more affectionate one of the two of them to have her stiffen up at the slightest of contact now was unsettling. She released her quickly. "How about we finish up with the rest of these boxes and order some takeout?" She was determined to be there for her sister even if she didn't agree with the neighborhood she'd chosen to live in.
"Deal." Sara was relieved she'd dropped the topic, it had been an ongoing battle all morning, she'd thought convincing her father had been difficult she'd forgotten how stubborn Laurel could be.
After several hours of moving and unpacking the two sat inside Sara's now furnished apartment. "I'm so glad the furniture store delivery guys brought up the living room furniture." Laurel slumped in the seat cushions glad they were finally done. Oliver and Diggle had offered to help but this was something they'd wanted to do together.
"Agreed. Remember the last time you and I tried to take a couch up the stairs?" Sara asked taking a sip of her beer.
Laurel laughed remembering that day all to well. They'd wanted to prove to their dad that they could move Sara into her dorm all by themselves. The couch had gotten stuck in the stairwell with no hope of it being freed. On top of it all the fire alarm had gone off causing a stampede of students to climb all over it. The fire department had to take a chainsaw to it in order to free it. "Dad was not impressed." She could still remember the look on his face.
Few hours later Laurel got up ready to make the drive back to Star City, she stretched her stiffening muscles. She was definitely going to feel it the next day. "You'll call me if you need anything?" She asked.
"I will, now come on I'll walk you out." After a full day of socializing Sara needed some time to herself. Being around people even family tired her out. "I love you, text me when you get home." She initiated the hug this time. Laurel noticed it was slightly more relaxed though not by much.
"I will, I love you. Make sure to lock your door." She called out getting into her car. This time Sara did roll her eyes.
AN: Any guesses on who will be the one to constantly lose/forget their keys? The chapters wont always be long but the updates will hopefully be quick. I'm looking at maybe 10 chapters, give or take. Chapter Two – Moving Day - Leonard Snart.
