Summary: Moira Queen receives some unexpected guests.
Sara was nervous as Hell as her father brought her and Anatoly to the Queen mansion. As she had no idea how the remaining Queens were going to react seeing her and not getting Ollie as well in the whole thing. The conversation her dad had with Laurel was also worrisome too since it gave her an unwanted image about her dad becoming a drunk after she was presumed dead. The fact her parents seemed to be having issues as well bothered the girl too and felt a sense of guilt for being part of the reason. But it had felt so nice to hear her mom's voice again as it was just another sign of the fact that she was now home. Sara had practically talked with her mother the entire time her dad drove to the Queens and had she saw Anatoly's face, she would have seen him looking quite happy for her. Quentin had been dying to ask questions but so far had yet to ask anything to either of the two since his baby girl was on the phone.
Her voice was like an angel's in his view and he didn't want that angelic voice to quiet down anytime soon. "Ahh, is good to hear such happiness from Scary Girl!" Spoke up Anatoly finally with a big grin on his face as they drove up the long driveway the Queens had.
"Huh? Oh, that's my friend Anatoly. He helped get me back home." Explained Sara before laughing at whatever her mom said.
"Yeah, I'll tell him later!" Though the blonde would LOVE to see her mother give the big guy a kiss on the cheek for bringing her back home. It made her wonder if he'd actually blush!
Finally though, she had to let her mom go after they got to the mansion with the promise to call back as soon as possible. Letting out a breath as she looked out at the front doors, she felt her hand be squeezed in a comforting gesture by her dad. "Here goes nothin'." Sara said as she got out of the car, followed by her dad and Anatoly doing the same.
The Russian was honestly not expecting such a lavish place for Oliver to have come from. And for the young man to have survived all he did despite coming from a rich background spoke much of his true character. "Come now Scary Girl, you face Amazo, Lian Yu, and crazy Slade. I know you have this. For this? This cake compared to all that."
Quentin found himself torn between wanting to know and not wanting to know about those things the Russian had mentioned. Especially if it seemed to be so much more then facing Moira Queen and having to tell her that her boy was likely good as dead. The father of two knocked on the door and it wasn't long before Raisa herself opened the door and was quite surprised by the sight of the man. "Mr. Lance! This is…. An expected surprise. Is everything okay?"
"Uhh that might depend on a few things but is Moira here? Somethin' I need to talk with her about."
"Of course, come inside and I'll inform Mrs. Queen you are here."
The long time maid could only hope however that things wouldn't get ugly between the two as it had last time they crossed paths. The three came inside and waited in the foyer and it wasn't long before Moira showed up and wondering why on Earth the man would be here. "I can safely say this is a surprise Quentin." There was no warmth to be found in her voice either.
Something the man couldn't blame her on either. "Yer not the only one gettin' surprises today let me tell ya."
Moira found herself curious over that one and was about to ask about that when a blonde girl stepped out in front of him. And this wasn't any blonde girl either as it was Sara Lance herself! "S-Sara!?"
Sara smiled at the older woman. "Hi Mrs. Queen." And to her surprise, Ollie's mother wrapped her in a tight hug.
After a heartfelt hug between the two, Moira pulled away but kept her hands on the younger girl's arms with tears in her eyes. "Its wonderful to see you're alive Sara and I mean no offense but… Where is my son?"
Here, Sara's lip trembled as this was the thing she was not looking forward too. But the action was enough for Moira as she realized what it meant. "You, you'd be proud of him Mrs. Queen." The girl said tearfully.
And for Moira, hearing those words made the tears come down even more and she wondered what Sara would be able to tell her. A sniffle could be heard and through the older woman's tears she saw a rather hairy man off to the side on his own. "Must have dust in eye again." The man said apologetically.
Despite the sadness she was feeling, Sara couldn't help but smile over that. "Apologies for any rudeness on my part, but who are you exactly?"
"No worry, I understand perfectly. I am Anatoly Knyazev, proud Russian and friend to your son." The pride in his voice surprised Moira quite a bit and she wondered how her precious boy could know such a ruffian. A Russian one at that.
Before more could be said between them however, another voice entered into the mix. "S-S-Sara!?" Cried out one Thea Queen right before she rushed towards the girl in tears.
