Chapter 6: Sara's friend, speaking to Oliver and helping Oliver.

Chelsea2019:

Okay so Thea will begin her training with Lacy and slowly become Speedy.

Lacy's POV:

We continue to look out the window when someone comes up behind us. Sara raises her weapon but it just turns out to be Sin. She was someone Sara promised to look after and now we are all friends. Sin has had a rough life.

She has brought all three of us some food. I am grateful as we still need to eat.

"Told you," Sin says to Sara. "The party shack on 5th and brewer, best burgers in town."

"Not gonna complain," I say as I move away from the window.

"Well patty shack's in the mayor's territory," Sin points out to the both of us. "So I'll take a sub par breakfast over a bullet."

I nod my head as I sit down next to her. She passes me a burger which I take gratefully. Then Sin holds one out to Sara. She doesn't make a move to take it though.

"What's wrong?" Sin and I ask her at the same time.

"Look I know I'm skinny," Sin says moving the bun away. "But I can eat two of these and I will."

"And if she don't," I say as I unwrap mine. "I will."

I take a bite and sigh. I may be an assassin but I am still a teen and I love fast food.

"Just ran into an old boyfriend," Sara says walking towards us.

"Who also happens to be my big brother," I say as I think about Oliver and how he didn't even recognize me. Have I really changed that much in six years.

"I'm worried he might tell my family I'm back," she says and I wonder if Thea said anything to Oliver.

"You both have family in starling?" Sin asks.

I nod. "I did. But they wouldn't even recognize me now."

"I do to," Sara agrees. "My father he's a policeman and my sister she's a lawyer."

"Wow they must be really proud of their masked delinquent," Sin comments and I smile. "And it sucks that your family wouldn't recognize you."

"Yeah but both our families think we're dead," Sara tells her and I look down.

"Oh cool," Sin says. "My folks think I'm dead too. That or they wish I'd never been born. One of those."

I share a look with Sara.

"Why don't you two want your families to know your still alive?" Sin asks us.

"Cause we're not what they remember," Sara answers for the both of us.

"Good little daddy's girl's?" Sin asks.

I scoff. "Far from it. In my case I was a ten year old trouble maker the last time they seen me."

"I wasn't a good girl either," Sara agrees. "I was a lot like you."

"Is that... why you saved me from those guys that night?" Sin questions the events of the first night we met her.

"No woman should ever suffer at the hands of men," Sara says glancing at me and I flinch as I think about one of the other reasons I left Nanda Parbat.

The next day Sara and I head to Thea's pub. I keep my mask on as we Oliver turns to see us. I am so shocked by how much my brother has changed.

He leads us into Verdant where we can talk.

He closes the door and Sara sends me a small smile. I step back as Oliver walks towards Sara. I am not a huge fan of being close to people.

"Did you tell my family that I'm alive?" Sara asks trying not to hint to him who I am.

"No," he tells her and she looks relieved as she heads towards me but he stops her. "Sara. I saw you die. "

"Not the first time that's happened right?" She reminds him. "And I thought you were dead to. What happened to Slade?"

I wonder who Slade is but I don't want to speak up and draw attention to myself.

Ollie doesn't answer. "Where have you been?"

"Everywhere," she answers.

"That's not an answer," he tells her.

"Well its the only one your getting," Sara informs him. "About a year ago I started hearing tales of the starling city vigilante. The man in the green hood. I knew it was you."

"I had never known you to be much of a fighter," Oliver points out and I smirk as I think about where she learned how to fight and who taught her. "Where did you pick that up?"

"She met some rough people," I say approaching the two but not looking at Oliver. "We thought she should get rougher too."

He turns to me and says. "Who are you?"

I do not look at him as I speak. "I'm not ready for you to know that."

He shakes his head before speaking again.

"Why did you two come here?"

Sara explains.

"The earthquake," she tells him and I continue to avoid eye contact with him.

"Because you Sara wanted to make sure your family are safe," he says to her before turning to me. "And you?"

I ignore him so he turns back to Sara. "But now you're still here, watching over them. Protecting them. So did you come here to make sure I didn't tell them? Or because you were hoping I had."

Someone goes to enter and I glance at Sara.

"I'll get rid of them," he says and goes to the exit. "Mr. Lance."

I send an alarmed look to Sara, Her father is in the next room.

We hear them talking about Laurel and I wait to see what Sara wants to do. Apparently Laurel has been in some trouble. I can see Sara's conflicting emotions.

We freeze for one second when it sounds like Oliver might mention that Mr. Lance's daughter is in this room. But he doesn't thank god. We then leave before Oliver comes back.

"Why didn't you tell him?" She asks me.

"Too many questions," I explain to her. "Where have I been? What are all the marks all over my body and why can't I stay?"

She nods in understanding.

Sara and I found out that someone caused an attack where Sin got hurt. Where not happy to say the least. We are standing outside her hospital room and I smile as I see my sister and a boyfriend. They are both friends with Sin.

Then an arrow with a zip line appears next to me. I sigh and before I can beg her not to Sara goes down it. After a second I follow.

Sara lands right in front of him but I stop within a few feet of them.

"I want to see how you two do in a real fight," he informs us and I roll my eyes.

"You never change do you," I say rolling my eyes.

He turns to me. "How would you know anything about me?"

"Good about the fight," Sara says giving me an excuse not to answer. "We were looking for one."

The three of us head to the sight were a fight is going to happen. We see the man that got Sin hurt. Sara gets there attention and we begin to fight.

I race into one and knock him down. As I turn around I pull out my sword and strike a guy, not where it will kill him but put him on the floor for a while.

Ollie appears and begins firing at the others. But before I can move the leader suddenly shoves a knife into my stomach. I groan from the impact and hit the ground.

I see Sara fighting to get to me.

After Oliver and Sara switch weapons all the soldiers are down. Then the switch back. Then they grab the man that just stabbed me.

I fight to get up but just manage it. I make it over to Sara to see her choking the man.

"You hurt two friends of mine," Sara points out as I struggle to stay standing.

Oliver not caring that he doesn't know me, grabs me under the elbow to help me.

"Let him go," he says to Sara.

"You can't save a city with forgiveness," Sara informs me.

"You don't have to forgive him...," Oliver tells her. "But you do have to let him live."

She releases him.

"Bitch!" He growls out and I sigh. "I knew you didn't have it in you."

"I really don't like that word," She then hits him and moves over to me. "Lacy are you okay?" She asks.

"Sara!" I groan before I am forced to turn to Oliver.

He takes off my mask and takes a good look at me.

"Lacy... you're alive," I don't answer I just shove my way out of his arms and run off with Sara not far behind and Ollie calling out to me.

"Why did you do that?" I demand. "I wasn't ready to tell him."

"I'm sorry," she says to me. "It slipped."

Sara and I have decided its time to leave. But we head to the hospital first to say goodbye to Sin.

But we cannot enter as my sister is there again so we go on. But then as we go down the corridor Oliver stops us. I sigh as he stares at me for a second. There is a deadly silence that lasts for ten seconds.

"Your friend," he finally speaks. "I took care of her medical expenses."

"Thank you," we both say.

"Look we don't want Thea to see us-" I begin hoping he'll understand.

"What's your plan you two?" He asks us and we try to say something but he continues. "Because right now, you both just, well your whipping across rooftops and keeping watch over your separate families... like some sort of ghosts."

"We're all ghosts," Sara reminds him. "You and I died on that island."

"And I died on that boat," I say and he looks at me with pain in his eyes.

"But we didn't," he says making me sigh. "We all lived and I get that you have both been in pain so long that it probably feels normal for you both now. But you can both let it go and come home. I mean I know that the Earthquake brought you here, but yours..." he turns to me. "And our family kept you both here. You have to tell them you two. They need you. And Lacy we need you."

"You told them that 'I died on the gambit'?" Sara asks him. "If they know the truth-"

"The would never..." He chuckles. "They would never forgive me. Not one of them. But it'd be worth it."

He holds his hands out to us. After sharing a look we both take one each.

Then the three of us walk out together.
