Nyssa left to her room and Oliver stood very angry.
''Did she just say that she is now a parent to our child? Where did that come from? I believed the deal was that two of you can have your thing, not her invading our parental duties?''
Sara was on the floor trying to tie up John's arm with her mom's scarf. She couldn't believe Oliver said that in front of all their family.
''Our daughter sees her as a role model… We must learn to live with it and also explain Nyssa that some things are not allowed in our family…. We don't believe in corporal punishment, don't we OLIVER?''
''Because of tiny slap? She snapped to that? Come on! You and I know how much blood she has on her hands?!''
Sara was angry. She noticed the look John and Steven had when Oliver said Nyssa has blood on her hands. She didn't like the past mentioned, and she didn't like it in front of the children.
''Take them to the hospital. And we will talk later… She might have taken it too far, but my love, two of us have no right to mention blood on Nyssa's hands… And you know why….''
She kissed John's cheek and wiped his tears.
''Go and be a brave boy! Get that cast so we can write and draw on it….''
Oliver an and Diggle took boys to get them fixed and Sara promised Oliver she will speak to Nyssa and Nyssy and explain them that she shouldn't have broken their arms and Nyssa shouldn't have defended her.
They left the room and her mother was first to speak.
''That's what happens when you bring a woman like that into the house and family… She must go… Your bootie call should be out of the family matters.''
But Sara had a feeling there is more to it… She knew Nyssa enough to know something was up. She was hiding something from her.
''Mom, not now!''
She went upstairs to Nyssa's room and she opened the door slowly. Nyssy was lying on top of Nyssa and she was asleep. Nyssa was stroking her hair and singing one of the lullabies she did to Sara. Sara sat at the bottom of the bed and looked at them. She loved how close they were BUT she had to put some bondrys to Nyssa if she wanted this to work.
''I am not happy with what she did…What you did and the end of your conversation With Oliver…''
''Sara…''
''No, let me finish. I get that you are close to Nyssy, she adores you and looks up to you and that's also my fault. I told her stories of how brave you are and things you and I did… but not so she would hurt her brother and Steven.''
''They hurt her too and you all dismissed it…''
''Nyssa, they are kids. They do stupid things.''
''I will not let anyone hurt her…And boy in tights should know better than to question my promises.''
''Nyssa…''
''No, Sara… I know what I did and how my life was. I am not with memory loss Sara. I know who I am. Yes, I AM because regardless of me leaving my father, it had nothing to do with me being tired or fed up of the work. I left over personal matter that had nothing to do with League. I always had respect for the thing I did. I am not ashamed. Thanks to things we did, many bad people are not here… And let me tell you something, your beloved husband should get off his high horse and remember what he did… before tights…''
''It has nothing to do with that! We all have past Nyssa…''
''Yes, but only mine is bad… And he dares not mention yours…''
''I am not here to fight…''
There was a silent moment. Sara got to the top of the bed and got in beside Nyssa. She put her hand over Nyssa's that was on Nyssy's back.
''Why did you leave?''
''I had a good reason…''
''I know you had, I am asking why?''
''I will tell when boy it tights comes home. I promise you will know today. I am so tired of secrets and lying and things getting out in a wrong way.''
''You are scaring me…''
''I just want you to know I love you Sara…''
Sara closed her eyes and one tear rolled down her cheek…
''You have to kill one of us?''
''No… But I wish…''
Sara laughed at that…
''Two of you… Oh, God… I will go crazy with you and Oliver…''
''I will not comment on that…''
Nyssy started to wake up. She opened her eyes and saw Sara in bed with them.
''Mom…''
''Yes love?''
''Are they ok?''
''They will be… You really hurt them love…''
''I didn't want to, but they didn't stop… I told them what will happen and they made fun of me.''
''Love, I am so sorry we let it get that far that you thing you must break their arms. We will all have very serious talk.''
''Ok mom…''
She got off the bed and left the room. Sara pulled Nyssa in her arms and they just stayed like that until Oliver came back. Diggle and he got into Nyssa's room and Oliver was angry.
''You are not spending time with my daughter anymore. You had no right to do something like that. And to call her yours…''
Nyssa got off the bed and walked towards Oliver.
''Mr. Queen you know me enough to know I don't say things without reason. On the second day I came here I told you that something of mine is here and you jumped to conclusion it's Sara and started the speech of her being yours, than belonging to herself and all the things you said…''
Sara turned pail…
''Nyssy… SHE is yours…. You came for her…''
''Yes…''
Oliver was angry now. She had no right to his daughter…
''You will not touch my daughter Nyssa!''
''She is my daughter Oliver… in a way…''
They all looked at her with the same question.
''What!''
''My father did it.''
Sara's face looked like she will be sick…
''I gave birth to your father's baby?''
''Yes… Not really… One of his trusted men made a baby out of me…but just…He did something like cloning me… I was dying Sara. Even in the pit I was dying and he didn't want to lose me. I was his only heir so he did what he believed was the best. So, he got one of his men to get you inseminated with the baby they made…So, you gave birth to… me…''
''How did that happen?''
''On your checkup….''
''Oh, my God! No wonder I never saw the doctor again and no one knew who he was.''
''So, I spent very long time in the pit and after that I had some memory loss and you know what happens after the pit. I had to rebuild my life bit by bit. It took me a year to recover.''
''How long have you known of Nyssy?''
''Since the night she was born… I was there Sara…''
''I knew I saw you there!''
''I visited two of you every night when you were asleep… Even when you came home… I found the ways to see you.''
''Why come back now?''
''Because my father wants Nyssy to grow in the Nanda Parbat, as an heir to her mother…''
''He wants her to be an heir? ''
''First me, than her… But, yes… You are forgiven Sara. You gave him a new Nyssa… You gave League and heir that has ''royal'' blood.''
Diggle sat on the chair and looked at the floor.
''This is messed up!''
''I know…''
Oliver was angry…
''If you knew about the baby since she was born, why come back five years late?''
''I had to make sure she is safe... I had to eliminate threats to her life and I couldn't do that with her there…''
''And when you say ''eliminate'' what do you mean?''
Sara turned to Diggle and rolled her eyes.
''Kill, she meant kill…''
''I thought so…''
''And who wanted to kill her?''
''People who wanted me and my father dead… And now they are dead, so there are no threats…''
Oliver was angry and shouting at Nyssa. He was mentioning going to court and making sure she never sees the child. Nyssa rolled her eyes at him and called him an idiot. Diggle sat in the corner and tried not to get involved and Sara shouted at Oliver.
''Shut up! No court. We can't do that because after DNA testing they will determine that she and Nyssa have identical results, so no testing…''
''So I should just let her take her.''
''No one is not taking anyone… Calm down. We have to think about all this…''
''She just told us that our child is her and that she will be heir to the League…''
''And what's wrong with that?''
''Do you hear yourself? You want her to be like you and your dad?''
''And what is wrong with me?''
''You can't be serious Nyssa?! You wiped entire city when all your kills are calculated… You are not good role model….''
''And you are? How many people did you kill? Ha? What happened with Slade and on the island and….''
''That's not the same!''
''Let me tell you something boy in tights! I might me a killer, but I stand behind what I did… Each kill, I stand behind it and I don't whine like you. I did it and I stand behind it… I have guts to say what I did…. I don't hide…''
''You are proud of what you did?''
''YES! World is a better place without these people…''
''You are crazy! You think that killing people is ok?''
''Some people are better killed than causing more troubles…''
''And that's good parenting advice. You have some nerve to come to our home, sleep with my wife and want to take our child away…''
''OLIVER! Stop! Just stop…. I can't listen to this anymore….''
''But she…''
''STOP TALKING NOW!''
Sara enjoyed few moments of silence before she spoke.
''Nyssa, why did you come back? I want an honest answer, not some bullshit…''
''I came for her… I came to get my baby back…''
Sara noticed that Oliver wanted to say something, but she made him shut up.
''And how did you think to do that?''
''I wanted you to know the truth… And I believed we could reach some agreement…''
''No agreements. No! You are not taking her there… She is mine and Sara's…''
Nyssa had got her palms into fists and was very prepared to smack Oliver, when Sara took her hand and turned towards her husband.
''Oliver, leave the room… Please…''
Diggle took Oliver out and now Sara and Nyssa were alone…
''I don't want to take her from you…. I just want to show her who she is and what are her roots…''
''I can understand that… But I can't say I agree with it…''
''Sara, she is Raatko… She is heir to something big that has lasted for over thousand years. That is the only legacy I have to leave to my child…''
''Some kids inherited houses, cars…and she gets the assassin's league… Oh, God…''
Nyssa laced Sara's fingers with hers…
''Beloved, that's the only thing I have to give her…''
''That's not true… I was you with her… You have a special bond…''
''Yes, over combat, Arabic and cave she wants to live at to help the princess save the world….''
''What?''
''Well, when you told her about me, you told her about the caves and how the princess lives there and takes care of the world and fights against a lot of things. She told me she wants to go there and meet the princess and tell her she is not alone and she will be there to help.''
''I didn't know that… She is an heir to the Demon after all….''
Nyssa smirked…
''She is, isn't she?''
Sara kissed Nyssa…
''So, it makes her sort of ours?''
''Sara… By that logic, it makes her yours and my dad's…''
''That is just disgusting…''
''I know…''
Sara was silent again. She had so many things on her mind…
''My little girl is an heir to the league…Wow! Never saw that coming…''
''I am sorry…''
''It's not your fault… But now we have to deal with few things…''
''What?''
''What next?''
