It had been months and the most useful Laurel had felt was when it came to planning her wedding, since she couldn't be the Black Canary while she was paralyzed and she felt like everyone in the DA's office thought less of her due to her injuries as well, since all of her cases were very easy ones and not the ones she was used to handling.
"Hey, how was your night?" Laurel asked her fiance as he entered the apartment after a night of work.
"Still no leads on Prometheus." Oliver said frustratedly.
"I wish I could be out there helping you. I mean, I have a sonic scream, but I never get to use it anymore." Laurel said.
Oliver crouched down to her level and said "Felicity checked in with Curtis earlier today and he said they're close to perfecting the technology. Who knows, you might actually get to walk down the aisle after all."
"I hope so. I miss being able to walk. And do other things. You haven't been cheating on me have you?" Laurel asked.
"Don't get me wrong, I mean, I've thought about it, but then I decided that since I made a commitment to you, I'm not going to break it." Oliver said.
"Who are you?" Laurel asked playfully.
Before Oliver could respond, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Oliver asked.
"Overwatch." Felicity's voice said.
"Felicity, what brings you here?" Oliver asked.
"I know it's late, but I couldn't wait until the morning to tell you that I just got a call from Curtis. They finished sooner than expected. He's on his way back to Star City right now with an improved version of the implant to give to Laurel." Felicity said.
Oliver grinned and he saw that Laurel was smiling to.
"That's incredible. I'll schedule the surgery for it immediately." Oliver said.
Felicity nodded right before she left.
"I told you there was a chance you'd get to walk down the aisle." Oliver said, kissing Laurel.
"You were right. But please do not get too used to hearing me say that." Laurel said.
"Wouldn't dare get to used to hearing that. I'm just going to enjoy hearing it this time." Oliver said.
"Whatever." Laurel said, though she could not deny that she was eager to finally get back in the game.
A few days after a successful surgery, Laurel was currently attempting to stand up in the gym with the help of Oliver and and the same trainer who helped Felicity after she first got the use of her legs back.
"Come on, you're almost there." Oliver said as Laurel's hands closed around the 2 bars.
"Remember, the doctor said this might take some time to kick in." Paul said.
"No time like the present." Laurel said as she gently felt her feet hit the ground and felt some relief that she could actually feel her feet again.
"I think it's working, I can feel my feet again." Laurel said as she struggled to take a few steps.
"Easy there. You don't want to risk overtaxing yourself too soon. Could do more harm than good." Paul said.
"Sorry, just I've spent the past 6 months in a wheelchair feeling like an invalid, I kind of want to get back on my feet." Laurel said.
"Not to mention a wedding coming up and you'd like to be able properly try on dresses and walk down the aisle." Oliver said.
"Exactly." Laurel said as she reluctantly sat back down in her chair.
"Don't worry, you're already making tremendous progress." Paul said.
"Great, a whole 5 steps, someone sign me up for the Olympics." Laurel said sarcastically.
"You'll get there. How long do you think before she regains full use of her legs?" Oliver asked.
"Hard to tell. It really just depends on how often she does her therapy." Paul said.
"Guess that means we better buy a treadmill." Laurel said.
"I'll order one from Amazon." Oliver said.
"Good, now, can we go, we still have a wedding to finish planning." Laurel said.
Oliver nodded and said "Thank you for your time Paul, we'll see you tomorrow."
Paul nodded as they headed out.
