Oliver barged into the hiding place angry as hell.
''Oh, here you are… Did she lecture you about thrust and respect in the relationship and all the other things….''
Roy and Felicity came to the room when they heard Diggle teasing Oliver…
''What happened?''
''We barged into the apartment to find Sara having dinner with a friend… Who is a girl… The one you met at the party… So, nothing shady was happening… Our girl had a dinner…''
Oliver turned towards them and gave them bitter smile…
''As you say ''our'' girl played us like game of chess… The nice dinner, was actually family dinner in a very creepy way… The girl is Nyssa, daughter of Ra's al Ghul… Heir to the League of the Assassins Sara is a member of…''
He noticed their mouth hanging open…. It took Diggle few moments to recover…
''Damn… and how did she get out? They kill the ones who leave…''
''Oh, it gets better… She was released…''
''By whom?''
''Her wife… Nyssa…''
Felicity was confused…
''Nyssa… The girl dressed in leather?''
''Yes…''
''Damn, she is hot!''
They all turned towards her…
''Hey, I was just stating the obvious…. She is hot…''
Before the discussion could go any further, Quentin called Oliver to ask if he knew where Sara was.
''She is with Nyssa…''
''Who is that?''
''The lady from the party… Tall, dark hair…''
''Oh, the beautiful one?''
''Yes…her….''
''Oh, I was afraid she was in trouble. I called few moments ago and she sounded weird… Like she was drugged or something else.''
''What?''
''Nothing, my imagination…''
Oliver got Diggle and Rey to go to the Nyssa's apartment. Knowing now who she was he was sure Sara would be a target to whoever wanted to get Nyssa…
The got into the apartment and found Sara sleeping on the sofa. She looked unharmed. There was a letter in front of her. Oliver picked it up and put it in his pocket. Diggle tried to wake her up, but soon realized she was sedated. He picked her up and took her to the car. They placed her at Oliver's bed and left the room.
''Nyssa was not there…''
''And her things….''
''My guess is that she has things here… She must travel light…''
Diggle went to get some coffee and left Oliver alone for few minutes. Oliver got the letter out of the pocket and opened it. It was letter from Nyssa to Sara.
''Beloved,
When you find this letter I would be far on a mission. You knew I couldn't stay long. My father has some things he wants me personally to take care of. So, you can imagine that I would be out of reach for some time… I just came because I was told you asked for me. Regardless of new events where your boyfriend knows about where you were and who I am, the deal stands. You are free… You are free to choose your path. There is always hope that it would bring you down to me and back into my arms, but if you pick differently, I will respect your choice… As I told you… I love you so much and I want you to be happy. I would love it to be with me, but I also know that I don't bring a lot of happiness and love. I am a killer Sara, but you gave me a heart. You woke up the person I never knew and I am grateful to you for it. Our line of work might never let us get old and gray together, but it doesn't matter. We had some time on this world together and we lived several lives together. I can't pick what we are, but if I could, I would say you are it for me my tiny bird… At'taer Al'asfar you are my past , my present and my future. Regardless of what you pick as your path and beloved…
Forever yours,
Nyssa''
Oliver threw the letter into the fire. Diggle came back to the room and found Oliver by the fire and saw the letter….
''Man, you did not just do that…''
''I did… She needs to get rid of that woman…''
''Oliver, did you ever ask her if she wants to get rid of her?''
''She is a killer… Sara just needs better environment to get adapted to life again…''
''And we are that?''
''We are not perfect, but we are better than her…''
''Ok… If you say so…''
Sara woke up and first thing she did was call for Nyssa.. After few seconds she realized she was in Oliver's room. Last thing she remembered was kissing Nyssa on the sofa. Oliver entered the room with food and coffee.
''How did I get here?''
''We found you at her place…''
''And Nyssa?''
''Gone…''
''Did she say something?''
Diggle just looked at Oliver.
''No, nothing… She was gone when we came…''
Sara got off the bed and took a few bights of the food. For weeks Sara would go to the apartment and wait for her but Nyssa never came back. In her pain and fear for not knowing anything about Nyssa she was hit with big news. She was pregnant. Apparently the weeks she spent in Oliver's bed did miracle and she was with child. At first she hid it from everyone not knowing what to do. What if Nyssa came back and said she wanted her back? Would she accept another's child? And what would Oliver say if she chooses Nyssa and leaves with her. His child would be born in Assassin life and every option looked worse than the one before it. Oliver found out during one of their missions. She was changing after it and he noticed her belly.
''You are pregnant?!''
''Yes…''
''And you never tought about telling me?''
''I didn't know what to tell you…''
''How about ''Oliver, I am pregnant with your child''? That would be the one thing you could say!''
''How do you know it's yours?''
''Can wonder woman get you pregnant?''
That made Sara laugh… He called Nyssa wander woman and she called him coward in tights. Too bad two of them are on the opposite sides. She knew they would be good friends if she was not in the middle.
''You are off the missions Sara… Your only job now is to take care of that child…''
When they went all together to dinner young boy came to their table. When Sara saw him she stopped laughing.
''What is happening Hasan?''
''Mistress is missing….''
''How long?''
''Two months… Demon is asking if you know something. He just wants to know if she is alive and well…''
''I have no idea where she is… I haven't seen her in more than three months…''
''People think that she has fallen…''
Sara jumped from her chair…
''No, no, no…. She… She can't be…''
''No one knows anything of her… She was supposed to be back long time ago…''
''NO! NO!''
Oliver tried to calm her.
''Where was she seen last?''
''I don't know…''
''Hasan, she told you where she went…''
''Only thing I know is that it had to do with the island she found you and man called Slade.''
''Prepare the jet, I'll be there in two hours…''
Oliver took her hand…
''You are not going anywhere…''
''Oliver, let go of my hand until you can still use it…''
''Sara, you are pregnant…''
''And she is missing!''
''Are you serious?! You would put your life in danger and life of our unborn child at risk for her?"
''Oliver, let go of me…''
''I will go to find her, but you will stay here and take care of yourself and that baby…''
''I can't stay… I must find her… I must…''
Oliver couldn't believe what Sara was saying. He called Sara's father and told him to come. Quentin came in matter of minutes. At first he was also very surprised to see his daughter was pregnant.
''Is this the news we are celebrating?''
''I was hoping to celebrate, but then she decided to go and search for missing, and probably dead Nyssa…''
''She is missing? No one reported her missing… When did she disappear?''
''Over three months ago…''
''No, I didn't have her in my missing person's data…''
''No one reported her missing…''
''No one is searching for her?''
''There are people looking for her dad, but not the usual way…''
''What does that mean?''
''It's complicated…''
''How complicated?''
''I am an assassin, Nyssa found me and trained me… she is my wife and now I must find her. On her last night here we made deal to talk about our future when she comes back. She left without a word or anything and now I heard she was missing. I must find her… And along the way I found out I was pregnant with Oliver's baby and now that complicates things. He believes he owns me and I shouldn't go to find my beloved… Do you get it now?''
He nodded trying to work on things he found out about his little girl. He believed that learning she was alive would be hard, but this was out of any category he could imagine.
''I agree you should stay and take care of the baby. Let someone else find her…''
Oliver turned towards her.
''I will search for Nyssa… And I will make sure I find her for you.''
She knew she will never get away with what she wanted like this. She had to think smart.
''Fine… Keep me informed.''
Oliver went with Hasan and she went with the rest of the crew to the ''office''. Felicity went to her computer and tried to learn something about Nyssa and possible sightings, but there was nothing she could learn. Roy and Diggle worked on ideas how they could help Oliver and possible Nyssa. And Sara was waiting for her moment. She filled the gun with sleeping shots and fired them at her friends. She left the letter and left the room. She had to find her Nyssa…
