Suppressed No More
Disclaimer: A fun little idea I got recently. I also figured this could be a thing considering the Time Masters were manipulative jackasses. Takes place during the five year period Oliver is believed dead. And to a guest reviewer, yes, wives. As in the 'Upgrade' idea, Barry is married to both Linda and Patty.
Summary: For years, Dinah Laurel Lance has been on a dietary supplement. But in the aftermath of Oliver and Sara's deaths, that dietary supplement is forgotten, leading to an unknown secret about herself being discovered in the process.
For the past two years since the loss of not only her cheating ex boyfriend known as Oliver Queen, but also her sister, Sara Lance, Laurel has been trying to focus on anything that would keep her from dealing too much with her grief. Leading her to often cry herself to sleep when it got to be too much for her to bare This also had been causing her to forget to take a special dietary supplement she'd been having to take since she was a young girl. Laurel never fully understood why she had to take them other then what her parents and the doctor told her. Doctor Heimericle even saying this was a necessary thing to continue well into her sixties as failing to take the supplement would cause her some health issues. What those were, he never would go into full detail over other then saying it would cause a weakening in her bone structure.
Yet this was something she hadn't really felt was an issue just yet when she actually thought about the matter after a good amount of time. "Now sweetie, you know you're supposed to be takin' those pills of yours." Admonished her father as they walked away from a diner during one of his increasingly super rare moments of no drinking.
"Yeah… I know… But with everything that's happened in the past 2 years… Ollie and Sara dying and mom leaving. It just, it just hasn't been a focus for me." Laurel told her father.
Causing him to sigh and hug her. "I know its hard sweetie, but you can't let that keep you from doin' what you gotta do."
"I know, daddy, I know. I'll start taking them again when I get home, I promise."
Even if part of her rather would prefer not too. "Aww, ain't this sweet?" Cackled a voice that wasn't alone as others joined it.
"Insteada the Beauty and the Beast, its the Young and the Old!" Added another.
Causing both Lances to grimace. "I'm a Cop so I highly suggest you boys go elsewhere." Lance told the small group gruffly.
Wishing he hadn't parked his vehicle in a damn alley of all things in the Glades. "Ooh! A cop he says! We're all scared now!"
"Yeah, I'm practically shaking in my boots!" Declared another of the group with a cackle.
Laurel was getting really nervous and scared by the rough looking small group. Even going for her phone but it was knocked out of her hand by one of the gang members. Something her father took offense too and was slugged in the face for his efforts. A full on fight was soon had with Lance giving it his all with Laurel doing her best to help with the few self defense skills she had. But it was apparent they weren't going go to win thanks to the numbers that were against them. That is until Laurel felt something well up in her and forced its way out of her mouth. A loud cry that knocked back the gang members and sent those that were still conscious running away in fear. "What the Hell did you just do, sweetheart!?" Wondered the gruff Detective as his little girl helped him up.
"I… I don't know, daddy, I really don't." The frightened future Lawyer told him.
But part of her began to wonder if that was the real reason she'd been forced to take those dietary supplement pills all those years. And if that was the case… How on Earth could Doctor Heimericle have known about her 'gift'? Something to ask him about I guess…
For Lance though, despite whatever strangeness had just happened with his daughter, he was just glad nothing unfortunate had happened.
