#dinah x siren

[rabnerd28]

Okay, thinking about this got me weirdly very emotional. Cuz, we've all got our list of favorite queer characters, but we've also got this list of our favorite characters that we desperately wish were queer more than anything. The ones we held out hope for years and years that they would one day be confirmed queer, but never did. How many times does it actually happen that we can say that those characters made the jump to the other list?

Most of the time, queerness is established very early. Either as something that the character has already discovered, or as a coming out story within the first season or two. How often have fans been seeing queerness, and it never getting acknowledged? How often has that been ignored all because no one said it early? Fans loved Buck for so long, and have seen that he's queer, and have held onto that hope that one day it would be in the actual show. How often have fans waited to hear "you were right"?

Almost any time something queer happens it needs to be established fast, and anything straight cannot change. But this did, and honestly, the fact that I can say that Buck is now one of my favorite queer characters, makes me cry. There are so many others I hoped for over the years, but thank you 9-1-1 for being the first to let that hope not be wasted.

Both are share Canaries abilites but for a good portion of time were fighting opposite sides to each other until eventually they were fighting side by side. Do you prefer to see these two together romantically, see them more platonically, or rather not see them together at all?

Summary: Y/N is the daughter of Black Canary and Green Arrow. That’s how her and Jason met. They met through their parents. The two have so much history between them that is full of ups and downs.

Word Count: 2,212

Author’s Note: I’ve basically had this in my drafts unfinished all year till I finally just decided to finish it since the idea isn’t all that bad. If it’s a little confusing I apologize and the intro is basically a summary of how the reader and Jason became so close. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it!

Y/N and Jason share a lot of history with one another. Y/N is the only daughter of Dinah Lance and and Olivier Queen who are Black Canary and Green Arrow. Y/N has the same powers her mother has which is a scream that sounds like a canary crying. However, Y/N’s scream is different. Her’s sounds more like a siren than a canary cry. That’s why when she goes out on patrol she goes by the name Siren.

Y/N is also a good and strong combat fighter. Both of her parents are good fighters but have different fight styles, so Y/N knows how to fight using both of her parents' fighting styles. And of course, she also knows how to use a bow and arrow as well.

Y/N and Jason met when her mom was helping Bruce who is Batman on a case that involved someone her mom had dealt with before and ever since that mission Y/N and Jason have grown a bond and have worked together on multiple occasions.

They joined the Titans together. Jason was excited but Y/N felt the opposite. Y/N felt like she did not fit in with a team even though everyone loved her. Jason and Dick helped her a lot with that feeling and made her feel like she belonged on the team.

Everything was going fine till Dick brought in this girl named Rose who just happened to be the daughter of Slade Wilson who is no other than the deadliest assassin, Deathstroke. When Dick let Rose stay in the tower, she butted heads with everyone especially Y/N. It was mostly because of who her father is. Deathstroke has a long history with Y/N’s parents. She knows all of the horrible things he has done.

It only got worse when Jason didn’t listen to Dick and got captured by Deathstroke. He tormented Jason. When Dick and Kory went to get him back Jason almost fell to his death till someone who looked just like Superman came to the rescue and caught him. When Jason returned to the tower Y/N knew something had changed inside of him. All he did was stay in his room which really concerned her. She would tell everyone that something was wrong, but everyone was dealing with their own shit and seemed not to care. They would just tell her he’s just still recovering from what Deathstroke put him through.

One night Y/N finally decided to take matters into her own hands and go talk to Jason. She felt like she was the only one that gave a fuck about Jason. She went to his room and went to knock on the door, but music was playing pretty loud so she just decided to just walk into the room which she immediately regretted it. She walked in to see Jason and Rose kissing. When Jason noticed her, he immediately broke the kiss. Before anyone could say anything Y/N just walked back out. After that happened Y/N couldn’t help but feel angry. She also felt jealousy boiling inside her too which did scare her. Jason is her friend, and she feels jealous about him kissing another girl. Why was she feeling jealous?

More chaos ensured after Dick confessed that he murdered Deathstroke’s son. The old Titans were the most upset. Everyone left the tower except Dick, Gar, and the guy who saved Jason were the only ones that were left. Y/N left with Donna and Rachel while Jason left with Rose which did hurt Y/N. She felt like he rather be with Rose than with her. Things didn’t end well between Rose and Jason. Turns out she was just using the team because her father wanted her to help him destroy the team. Y/N didn’t hear about the breakup till Rose reunited with the team to take down her father.

Y/N didn’t see Jason till Donna’s funeral. Donna had gotten electrocuted saving Dawn. They just shared a look and that was it. After Donna’s funeral Y/N went on her own.

She went back to Star City and started to fight crime on her own. She didn’t hear from any of the Titans till Jason became Red Hood after coming back from the dead. Dick brought Y/N back to help Jason come back to the good side which worked. After they finished Crane off and sent him back to Archam, Jason confessed his feelings for Y/N which she returned them. When she was out on her own that’s when she realized her feelings for Jason. When Jason was going through all that darkness Y/N was the one that helped him get through it and that’s when he realized he has feelings for her.

They started dating each other but sadly the relationship didn’t last very long.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Jason was at the Gotham City Police Department with Barbara in her office. He’s helping Barbara solve a case that needed help from a vigilante more than a detective. There is a villain named Cupid who has showed up in Gotham. She’s been leaving dead men in alleyways. There have already been two victims. One man was found with an arrow through his chest and the other man was found with an arrow going through his head.

Barbara asked Jason if he’s ever dealt with Cupid which he said no. “Okay then I know someone who does know Cupid.” Barbara said which made Jason let out a sigh since he knew who Barbara was talking about. “Y/N.” Jason said putting his hands into the pockets of his zipped-up jacket.

“Yes, can you go to her and ask her for some help defeating Cupid, she’s done it before.” Barbara said to him. “I don’t know about that, Babs.” Jason said with nervousness in his voice. “Jason, I get it. You two had a shitty breakup but we really need her help with this case.” Barbara told him. Jason let out another sigh because he knew Barbara was right. Plus, he would’ve crossed paths with Y/N sometime. “Okay, I’ll go stop by her apartment.” Jason told her and walked out of the office.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Jason drove his motorcycle to the apartment building he use to share with Y/N. When he walked inside the building he could feel his heart rate speed up. He felt like his heart was going to beat out of his chest. He stood in front of the door that read 3C in gold. He took a deep breath to calm his pacing nerves down.

He knocked on the door and waited. A couple minutes passed and there was no answer. Jason knocked on the door again and still no answer. Jason figured Y/N wasn’t home so he turned to walk away but before he could reach the steps the door opened to reveal Y/N. When he looked at her, he saw the broken look she had in her eyes. Those were the same broken eyes he saw the night he walked out on her.

“What the fuck do you want?” Y/N hissed obviously not happy to see him outside her door. “Y/N, I’m not here to fight.” Jason told her in a stern tone. “You have no business being here, so I don’t give a fuck why you are here.” Y/N told him in a snappy tone. She went to close the door, but Jason stopped it from closing with one of his feet.

“Y/N, please. It’s important.” Jason told her. Y/N noticed the serious look in his eyes, so she knew he was telling the truth. “Fine.” Y/N said with a heavy sigh and walked away. Jason walked into the apartment and closed the door. He followed Y/N into the living room. She sat down on the chair while he sat down onto the couch.

“What’s going on?” Y/N asked him. “Barbara sent me here because we are dealing with a girl named Cupid. She’s already left two men dead in alleyways with an arrow in them.” Jason explained to her. “All I’m going to tell you is that she’s a skilled archer just like my dad.” Y/N told him and stood up.

She went to walk into the kitchen, but Jason quickly stood up and grabbed one of her arms. “That’s it?” Jason asked her. “You’re not going to help me take her down.” Jason added which made Y/N let out a heavy sigh. She pulled her arm out of his grip. “No, because that’s not who I am anymore.” Y/N told him which took him by surprise.

“You’re not Siren anymore?” Jason asked with a surprised look on his face. “Why?” He asked her. “Going out there as Siren just reminds me too much of what happened between us.” Y/N told him looking away from his gaze.

“Listen, I didn’t mean to hurt you.” Jason told her with sincere in his voice. “If that was fucking true you wouldn’t have said what you said.” Y/N told him in a snappy tone. “I didn’t fucking know saving your boyfriend from a bullet was such a wrong thing. I didn’t know saving your boyfriend would make him lash out at you and just fucking leave you all by yourself!” Y/N told him looking back at him with a glare in her eyes.

Jason heard the pain in her voice. He regrets everything he said to her that night. Everyday he wishes he could go back in time and take back every word he said to her that night.

“I-” Jason started to say but she immediately cut him off. “You need to leave, now.” Y/N told him in a stern tone. Jason knew not to argue with her, so he walked out of the apartment. At least he gave her something.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The past couple of days Jason and Barbara had been tracking Cupid. Tonight was finally the night Jason was going to attack. They thought tonight was the perfect night, but it wasn’t going as Jason planned.

Jason was in his Red Hood gear getting his ass kicked by Cupid. When Y/N said Cupid is a skilled archer she forgot to mention that Cupid was also a skilled martial arts fighter. He got thrown into one of the concrete walls. He was too worn out to get back up.

“Now.” Cupid said as she walked up to him. She had her bow in one hand and an arrow in the other. “It’s time to put you out of your fucking misery.” Cupid said aiming her arrow at Jason’s chest. Before she could shoot the arrow a siren like scream knocked Cupid down making her drop her arrow and bow. When the screaming stopped Jason looked over to see Y/N standing there in her Siren suit.

“Long time no see, Cupid.” Y/N said walking towards her. Y/N picked up Cupid’s bow. “Did you miss me?” Y/N asked with a taunting smirk. Cupid let out a growl as she got back up onto her feet. Before she could charge at Y/N, she used the bow to hit Cupid across the head. Cupid fell down onto the hard ground unconscious. “Crazy bitch.” Y/N hissed throwing the bow down onto the ground.

Y/N walked over to Jason. “Are you okay?” Y/N asked helping him up. “Nothing, but some cuts.” Jason told her.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

After the cops picked Cupid up Y/N took Jason back to her apartment to help address his cuts. She had him sitting on the couch. He had two deep cuts on his shoulder that she had to stitch up. Jason was sitting on the couch with just his pants on while Y/N sat next to him stitching up the cuts. There was a comfortable silence between the two.

“All done.” Y/N said after wrapping up his arm, so the stitches stay safe and in place. “Thanks.” Jason told her. Y/N just gave him a nod as she put all of the supplies back into the first aid kit.

“I thought you weren’t Siren anymore?” Jason asked her. Y/N let out a sigh as she closed the first aid kit that was sitting on the table. “Y/N.” Jason said in a soft voice. “I was scared that you would’ve been Cupid’s next victim.” Y/N told him without looking at him.

Jason took one of her hands into his’s which made her look at him. “Everything I said to you that night wasn’t directed at you, but it was directed at me.” Jason told her. “What?” Y/N asked in a confused tone. “When you took that bullet for me, I thought I was going to lose you.” Jason confessed as his eyes started to fill with tears. “I don’t know what I would’ve done without you.” Jason cried which made Y/N’s heart ache for him.

“Jason.” Y/N said putting her free hand onto one of his cheeks. She wiped away some of his tears with her thumb. She had tears streaming down her face, too. “Please take me back. I love you so much.” Jason said looking into her eyes. Y/N gave him a nod. “I love you, too.” Y/N told him.

“Want to start over?” Jason asked her. “Yes.” Y/N said with a nod. Jason leaned in and connected his lips with hers. Y/N returned the kiss. It felt so right for them to be back together, again.

MISC.

elizabeth was the batgirl to jason's robin and is arguably the closest with him, post resurrection.

after being stripped of her cowl again by bruce, elizabeth winds up babysitting 'task force x' with long-time friend, roy harper and dawning a new short-term alias, crow. the two find comfort in each-other within the band of belligerent criminals as ex-titans, roy after his split with jade and elizabeth longing for a love she doesn't even know she's forgotten.

she’s viewed as an almost modern day ‘daisy buchanan’ type figure in gotham for better or worse

elizabeth's wayne!persona feeds into the catty high-school popular girl, a little ditzy but applying where it counts. she's no valedictorian but fronting the cheer squad and the debate team whilst earning herself prom queen is no small feat (think torrance shipman) but unfortunately for her date and half the school's male populous, she's head-over-heels for nobody but keystone's cocky redhead with a heart of gold. post-gotham academy, she becomes a hilton-type party girl which doesn't go down well with wally.

even after their separation (in name only, these two would literally die for each-other) wally is still persistent that she keeps her flash button-pin on her person at all times, just in case. even after a fight, yet another break or just a storm-out he'll always be there when she needs him and he knows she's stubborn enough to only press it when she really needs him.

liz was a pretty taken aback by wally's reappearance. learning of a life she once had, the children she'd forgotten and unlike everyone else that accepted wally back almost immediately, liz was a little slower, much to wally's impatience.

she covers for her mother as black canary during league outings whilst dinah is on maternity leave, even keeping with the mantle when teaming up with wally when he returns to the flash role.

dinah and bruce were only briefly together, bruce hadn't even begun his career as batman and dinah was working part-time as a florist and club singer.

liz and dick are the same age.

all three of her costumes incorporate led lining, more-so her time as batgirl with the cowl, her batgirl colour-coding was black and sheer white, whilst starling had an ombre rainbow lining - similar to the bird and siren taking on both aspects with the black and white costume and rainbow led lights.

KEY ARCS / MOMENTS / STORYLINE

MATCHES (UNDER THE RED HOOD PREQUEL)

central characters | elizabeth lance-wayne (molly malone) ⭑ jason todd ⭑ tim drake ⭑ cassandra cain ⭑ selina kyle ⭑ adian cobblepot ⭑ oswald cobblepot ⭑ edward nygma ⭑ carmine falcone ⭑ dick grayson ⭑ barbara gordon

whilst batman is off-world with the justice league, the rest of his team have been tasked to protect gotham so newly returned elizabeth gets a whiff of a developing human trafficking ring, she swiftly adopts the 'molly malone' persona in order to infiltrate their operations and put a stop to it. however, she's met with some resistance from the city's newest mob-boss, the red hood.

notable beats

one | this is elizabeth's first solo operation in gotham since the batgirl mantle was taken from her and since she married childhood sweetheart wally west, who is currently off-world with bruce. two | selina helping elizabeth get into the spoilt mafia brat image with hair as big as her tits, heels as fake as her lips and leopard print dress peaking above her ass. during this, cass watches on at the pseduo-mother / daughter moment, longing back to her own childhood. three | seducing oswald cobblepot's absolute meathead unit of a son, adian as malone's guard-dog boyfriend after 'spontaneously' meeting in gotham's 'my alibi' strip club with the promise of opening a brothel (refuge for victims), playing on his sycophantic eagerness to get impress / out-do his own father, mirroring elizabeth's own ambition. four | red hood interrupting her first meeting with the gotham rogues, removing their attention from her, to him. jason identifies liz immediately, being aware of the 'malone' schtick from bruce but decides to toy with her game-plan just to tick her off. five | jason overhears an argument between tim and liz ordering him and cass to back-off the op, he decides to stir the pot by ambushing the boy-wonder. six | elizabeth returns to her and wally's shared penthouse only to be confronted with the red hood confirming her identity as a wayne and poking at her marriage, "does west know you're hanging off penguin jr?" taunting her to press the alarm, knowing bruce and the scarlet-speeder would return seeing the mess she's made of the op, jason offers her a hand.

ROYAL ROULETTE (THE SUICIDE SQUAD) - breakdown to be added

below is just some fun i had after seeing the suicide squad, enjoy!

SNIPPET

“Joining you, Dubois will be two classified and undercover operatives with decades of field experience between them, though you may find their methods in comparison to your active teammates are rather passive.” Amanda Waller drags out as she walks the marksman through the bleak halls of the prison. “Both parties are, like you doing this with a certain level of willingness, but again like you, they have their own rather elusive baggage.”    Dubois continued to follow the woman into her office before being shown some very familiar inmates, one blond and the other ginger, who’d been a real pain in his-    “Arsenal. Speedy and Red Arrow all known aliases of former Green Arrow protégé, Roy Harper. I know you’re aware of Mr. Harper’s craft, but you may relax. He is your covert second-wave operative on this mission.”    “Does he know that?”    “He’s been warned, whether or not he wishes to push my buttons is entirely up to him.”    “Blondie here, is your problem.”    “That’s not Quinn, is it?”    “Far from, this is Siren. Meta-human.”    “Christ.”    “That’s a moot point a third of your team are meta-humans, but this one, used to be Batgirl.”    “Fuck off.”    “Watch that tongue.”    “I thought the Bats were good guys.”    “Yeah, well some of them have tendencies, including this one.”    “What’s she do?”    “Classified.”    “How’d you get her to agree?”    “Classified.”    “Does the Batman know?”    “He knows his daughter is doing covert work for me.”    “Ooh, lying to the cape-crusader is-“ Dubois furrowed his brows, “Did you say daughter?”    “That I did. Siren is a meta-human with enhanced strength, equipped with a Canary Cry that can shatter just about any form of glass within a two-mile radius. Her mother is Black Canary, her Step-father? Green Arrow and her husband is the fastest man alive,” Waller tensed, “Dubois, no matter what the circumstances may be, I do suggest that you and your team do not cross this woman, specifically Quinn.”    “What do the Gothamites have history?” he joked, although Waller did not reciprocate.    “You don’t spend five years as Batgirl without a run in with the Clown. Joker killed her brother, paralysed her teammate, and critically injured herself to the brink of death that she spent seven months in the ICU, all to enact a grand idea that involved blowing Arkham Island to bits.”    “What happened?”    “Two metal rods, and fifty-thousand volts. Folks said the scream could be heard from Metropolis.”    “How’s she not dead?”    “Rumour is Kid Flash was able to restart her heart.”    “So Quinn’s a sore-spot?”    “I don’t want them left alone, Siren won’t kill but Quinn would in retaliation, and I don’t want the job of explaining to Flash why his wife’s body was left in some South American jungle because of a psychotic jester who nearly killed her as a teenager.”    “The bomb threat?”    “As far as she's concerned, there isn't one.”    “Why?”    “Guess.” “What about Quinn?” “Quinn’s quick and unpredictable, Siren could be dead before I hit the button. They’ve known each other for a decade - know how to make each other tick therefore it is your job to make sure they don’t."    “You want me to babysit two grown fucking women? If she’s this much of a hassle then what use is she to us?”    “Siren has trained with nothing but the best, she is a skilled, heavy hitting fighter, acrobat, tech genius, can speak four languages fluently – one of which you will need – and can be an excellent diversion when the moment calls for it. Her skill set is vital to the completion of this mission.”    “And yet Quinn?”    “Cannon fodder. She’s got more balls than any other man on your team.”

Bayou Bartholomew

October 1, 18:52 CDT

Kate, slightly sweaty and breathing heavy, sat curled into a corner of the magical yellow box she was trapped in. Eyes hotly staring daggers into Wotan and Poison Ivy as they tended to the massive plant in the middle of the room. From her position floating in the air she could see out the windows around the top of their base. Highly irresponsible if you ask her, glass was so fragile, any kind of high decibel attack and they would all just shatter.

"Glare all you want, you aren't getting out of there." Wotan's bored tone was barely registered by Kate's hearing-aide free ears. Someone having taken them off of her while she was passed out.

Kate stayed silent, teeth grinding as she wished she had laser vision like Superman. Maybe that would break through the bullshit surrounding her right now. She had already tried everything else to get herself out of here. Besides screaming, which she knew would not be a smart idea.

"Why am I here?" Kate demanded, "What do you people want with me?" She was still in her debris covered and torn school uniform and didn't know if the supervillains in front of her knew her secret ID or not. So, she had to be careful. "I'm just some kid from Star City, why am I so important?"

"Ask Black Siren, she's the one that wanted you. I swear she has a thing for strays." Poison Ivy waved her hand to dismiss the girl, eyes never leaving her 'baby' in the middle of the room. Looking like some kind of Frankenstein science project. Kate let her eyes drag over to Joker, who had been muttering to himself as he stood in front of some kind of circular screen-disc-things Kate couldn't Identify. Strange gloves on his hands as he moved his arms in large, grandiose jerks.

"Poor heroes. Nothin' they do is quite enough." Joker laughs, his voice mocking, making Kate's blood boil when she caught a glimpse of the bay bridge in Star with plants all over it with people in cars and school busses in jeopardy. Seeing some of the plants explode Kate smiled knowing Dinah was okay. It was a relief to say the least, and it gave her strength, she would make it out of this and Dinah would be waiting with open arms, and Ollie. "Ain't it grand?!" Joker cackled.

"And impressive how you simultaneously juggle multiple scenarios." Poison Ivy commented from her spot at the base of her baby.

"I've had practice..." Joker responded, voice deepening and making it harder for Kate to hear, "Juggling my multiple personalities." His laugh, hyena like tenor pitches cutting through clear as crystal though. Kate keeping the chills at bay as she curled in closer to herself, as much as she hated it she knew she had to wait this out. She was in civies and her extra suit had been in her backpack, which was probably under a school building's worth of rubble. No doubt either the team or the Justice League was on their way, she had to trust they would get here in time.

The sound of heels loudly clicking against tile caught everyone's attention, Black Siren strutting in with who Kate guessed was Emily behind her. The mask on her face covering her Identity but Kate recognized the brunette hair and similar colored eyes a mile away, plus who else would it be?

"Bring her down, it's time we had a little chat. Also Ivy, you may want to go deal with the pests outside. I'll be out there in a minute. Delilah, go with her." Black Siren ordered, the brunette girl huffing but following orders and stomping after Poison Ivy who grinned over her shoulder at the blonde woman.

"Better hurry, or else we'll have all the fun. Wotan, protect my baby."

And with that Emily – Delilah – and ivy were gone and Kate was lowered to the ground. Looking up at the woman in front of her. Eyes narrowed and blazing.

"Let's walk and talk why don't we?" Siren motioned to Wotan, the sorcerer just letting out a sigh and dissolving the magic box. A bright yellow muzzle formed around Kate's jaw and mouth, confirming her worst fear, and cuffs appeared around her wrists. A short chain dangling from them. Which Siren grabbed and pulled immediately.

Kate glared holes into the back of the woman's head from a step behind her, stumbling whenever she yanked a little too hard. Kate's shorter legs making it hard to keep up with Siren's long strides.

"You're so docile, besides your little tantrum earlier, I'm disappointed. I would of thought you had more fight in you." The disappointment she spoke of clear in her tone, as if talking to a baby. It pissed Kate off. "You were lucky enough to inherit the sonic scream, I would of thought you'd use it more." Siren's tone turned sour, her jealousy clear but alarm bells were ringing in Kate's ears. How did she know it was hereditary? "It's a shame all that power is going to waste." Siren sighed, coming to a door in the hallway they had just entered. Opening the door, yanking Kate forward and shoving her inside.

There was something itching in the back of Kate's brain as she slammed into a wall, her shoulder taking the brunt of the impact. The muzzle muffling her grunt, Kate keeping her glare leveled at Black Siren once she was steady on her feet.

"What? Don't recognize my voice? Is your memory that bad? Or are you just not very smart?" Black Siren pouted, her lithe arms crossing over her stomach.

And then it clicked, and it obviously showed in her eyes as Black Siren's lips curled up into a menacing smile.

"There it is, I knew you weren't hopeless. You are my daughter after all." Black Siren stepped into the room, reaching forward and brushing the back of her hand like air across Kate's cheek, "My Delilah." Kate jerked away, only to have Siren's shark nails digging into her skin a moment later as the woman's fingers latched around the muzzle and forced Kate to look at her in the eyes. Eyes that were incredibly similar to Kate's. Her hair the same shade of light blonde, with the same nose and shape of their lips. "I've come to bring you home, so be a good girl and stay put. We have a lot to talk about, but I need to go dispose of the Justice Leagues brats first."

Black Siren booped Kate's nose as she grinned like a maniac, turning on the ball of her heeled boots and strutting out of the room. Kate in too much shock to make a rush for the door. Eyes drilling holes into the floor where Siren once stood as the truth set in. Her eyes burning as tears tried to fight to the surface, her knees shaky, threatening to collapse under her weight.

For her entire life all she had ever wanted was for her parents to magically appear and tell her they loved her and that they had made a mistake giving her up. Show up and take her into their arms and take her home to a house where she didn't have to share a room and a bathroom with twenty other girls and hide her things and food for fear they would get stolen. All she had wanted was this, to have her parents back, to have her mom back and be happy....

But now, now all she felt was sick.

~~*~~

Kate didn't know how long she had been in that room, pacing, trying to break free from her magical restraints. Her head jerking to look at the door when she heard rushed footsteps clanging on tile.

Robin rushed down the hallway, watching security footage with M'Gann right behind him, skidding to a stop he pointed at the door in front of them. M'Ganns eyes flash a bright green and the door crumples in. A flash of blonde and raised fists bolted out of the door, being caught by Robin.

"It's us Kate. It's us. You're okay." Robin held onto her tight, giving himself that moment of relief before pushing he back, taking in the magical muzzle and cuffs and puffing out a breath, "Well this complicates things. I was hoping with Wotan out of the building those would disappear but I guess not." The Boy Wonder's teeth gnashed in frustration, "But we make do. Come on, we gotta go."

Kate's wrist was grabbed by Robin and M'Gann and her shared a glance, M'Gann smiling largely out of relief. But that was all they got before they were running. Robin throwing disk after disk at the plant, handing more to M'Gann who used her telepathy to disperse them over the large plant. M'Gann then telekinetically lifting both Robin and Kate up to the top of the building, Kate stumbling slightly once being put down. The blonde not trusting the glass to hold her weight the same way Robin was.

"Timber" Robin muttered, pressing a button on his wrist computer and Kate grinned under the muzzle, knowing exactly what was about to happen. The explosion behind them must have been epic, Kate was sure.

Poison Ivy screaming from the ground and sending plants in their direction, which M'Gann took care of, only to be hit by a blast from Ultra-huminite.

"I told you to stay put!" The artificially created sonic scream came barreling at Robin and Kate, Robin pulling her with him as he ducked to the side. Ultra-Huminite sending more blasts their way, Joker right behind him, as Kate and Robin ran.

Grabbing M'Gann before having to scatter away from another blast from Ultra-humanite, Kate had never felt more like a burden. Bound and in civies, no way to defend herself in this situation, purely relying on Robin and the others to make sure she wasn't murdered by a bunch of super-villains. Her good school shoes now ruined by Bayou mud, which was seeping into her socks more and more with each step in the brown, ankle high water.

Left only to watch as her friends fought and failed against the villains. Robin and her getting split up by a wall of vines, Black Siren steaming with Emily-Delilah behind her.

"Bad girl." Siren grit out, releasing a sonic scream that blew Kate into a tree, the girl crumpling into the mud, getting hit with another scream while her world turned. All Kate could hear was ringing, all she could feel was the pain in her head as her brain tried to process the frequency of pitch she was being assaulted with. Her whole body ached, threatening to explode under the force of the artificial, yet powerful ability. Only to then be struck by what looked like lightning, her whole body felt like it was on fire, radiating out from her chest and spreading through her torso and limbs. Her screams muffled by the muzzle and threatening to turn sonic.

But as soon as it started it was over, Kate huffing as she pushed herself up on shaky arms. Seeing a blurry Aqualad in the distance, holding something over his head, her vision was swimming too much for her to actually see what it was.

"No! Aqualad, don't!" Wally's panic cut through her like a knife as she tried to crawl closer to her friends. Her ankle being stomped on by Emily-Delilah, the girl's face above her twisted into a sick grin. Left to watch as Wally is punched by Black Adam into a tree, her yell covered by her restraints. Having to look away at the ray of blinding light that followed. Emily-Delilah knocked back from it, cursing as she held her hands over her eyes.

"I can't see!"

Kate's vision cleared just in time to see Doctor Fate, in all his glory, right where Kaldur was standing. The realization was like ice water down her back. Watching with wide eyes, glittering with water on her lashes, as Doctor fate put Wotan in golden chains and her binds were lifted.

"No." She whispered brokenly, knowing that Kaldur was never coming out of that helmet. Her heart was sinking with the knowledge. But Wotan was one of many and that fact was made clear when Emily-Delilah came rushing at Kate. The blonde flipping onto her back and using Emily's momentum against her, kicking her hip and grabbing her outstretched arms. Throwing the girl behind her and into a tree headfirst. When she didn't get up again Kate struggled to her feet, staring down Black Siren with murder in her eyes.

"Little girl wants to play now huh? Now that the training wheels are off?" Black Siren chuckled, centering herself and softening her knees, "Come at me."

And Kate did. Rushing the older woman and swinging at her. Siren dodging her hits and sweeping her leg out at Kate's feet. The girl jumped, spinning mid-air and landing a heel driven kick to the woman's temple. Landing in a three-point stance with a smirk before taking in a deep breath, "I've been waiting to do this all night."

Her scream was loud, a higher frequency than she had achieved before. Her hatred and anger fueling her to push harder, until she saw the tech collar around Black Siren's neck crack and shatter. The woman's hands over her ears as she cried helplessly. Completely at Kate's mercy, as blood dribbled through her fingers from her ruptured eardrums.

Kate would have kept going if not for the batarang that embedded itself in the tree behind Black Siren. Sufficiently cutting off Kate in surprise, the girl whipping around to see Dinah and Oliver on a platform created by Green Lantern. The girl finally feeling like she could take a deep breath in hours.

"It's over." Batman declared as him and the rest of the justice league landed. Kate barely keeping herself from rushing at Dinah and Oliver. Not even able to take satisfaction in the raised hands of the supervillains that had made her life difficult today.

"There will be another day." Count Vertigo graveled out from beside Poison Ivy.

"Another day? Another?!" The Joker started, screaming like a toddler in a store that wanted a toy and their parent said no, "There won't be another day! Not for any of us!" He broke into laughter and raised his hands, the gloves lighting up. Kate's eyes blew wide and she screamed.

"No!" The sonics shattered the gloves, but the command had already been sent. Plant vines rose from the bog, large red sacks growing quickly on each vine in clusters and exploding. Releasing a green gas into the air.

"Joker venom spores! Don't breathe!" Batman ordered. Kate holding her breathe as ordered. Watching as batman punched Joker, only to be faced with a wall of the poisonous gas. Kate thought it was over, they were done for, until Doctor Fate was suddenly in the air with a golden Ankh as tall as he was in front of him. Sucking up the gas, saving them from death by laughter.

"Fate has Intervened!"

~~*~~

"What were you thinking! How could you let him put on the helmet?!" Wally raged, spitting at the team members who decided this course of action was a good idea. Kate stood back, still in shock, eyes stinging as she looked at Kaldur, "Nabu will never release him now. Kaldur will be trapped inside Dr. Fate forever."

This was a fact she knew the second she saw Kaldur put on the helmet, her friend was gone forever. Clenching her jaw, she refused to cry in front of everyone. A sudden warmth threading through her fingers and clutching her hand tightly anchored her. Not needing to glance to her left to know it was Robin. Kate holding on just as tight as she let out a breath, heavy with heartbreak.

And then Doctor Fate was taking off the helmet and in a flash of light Kaldur was back in front of them again. Kate breaking away from Robin and launching herself at the Atlantean, throwing her arms around his waist as she called out his name.

"Nabu let you go?" Wally asked with gleaming eyes.

"He almost did not," Kaldur smiled gently down at Kate, placing a hand on top of her head before looking back at Wally, "But your friend Kent was most helpful. He says hello."

Kate pulled away from Kaldur, face slightly flushed as she realized what she did, but couldn't find it in herself to care all that much as she smiled so wide her cheeks hurt up at the member of her family she thought she had lost. Kaldur placing a hand on her shoulder and giving it a squeeze.

"We're done here." Batman broke up the moment, Kaldur's hand falling off Kate's shoulder as they all turned to face the dark knight, "The Super-Villain secret society has been neutralized. As for your performance..."

Kate glanced to Wally beside her, her grin falling from her face in apprehension.

"It was satisfactory."

Kate's eyes went wide, like most of the team's did. The small girl holding out her arm to Wally, the speedster pinched it, making the girl hiss under her breath. The team all sharing looks and smiles of relief.

It was then that a flash of green caught Kate's eye and she turned on a dime, sprinting into Archer's already outstretched arms. Not caring about the mud all over her as he all but crushed her, his hand on the back of her head, petting her hair.

"Kate?" Oliver reluctantly put the girl down, masked eyes scanning her face with a tight look before a large smile took over his face as he watched Kate and Dinah collide. The woman crouching down to Kate's height and almost breaking a couple ribs. But Kate didn't complain. Not when she was back with Dinah, and everything was okay.

"Let's go home, okay? Yeah?" Dinah chuckled wetly, pulling back only far enough to hold Kate's face in her hands, eyes searching every inch of exposed skin for injuries. Letting out a heavy puff of air when she couldn't see any, leaning her forehead against Kate's for a second before pulling back and placing a swift kiss to the skin above her eyebrows, and another one on the crown of Kate's head as the woman stood to her full height.

All Kate could feel was light, happily crushed between Dinah and Oliver as they left the scene, waving to her team with the shouted promise of meeting them at the cave the next day.

Kate didn't want to leave Dinah's side once they got home, and it was the same for the woman, but Kate needed to get cleaned up and so after the fastest shower of her life. Kate laid in her bed, head in Dinah's lap as the woman gently brushed her damp hair away from her temple. Oliver sitting on the edge of the bed, one leg curled up under him as he let Kate play with his hand.

"Are you sure you're alright? No injuries, no blood?" Dinah stressed, taking her hand from Kate's hair and running it down the outside of the girl's arm before going back to its original spot.

"I'm sure." Kate answered quietly, still shaken from the day and both of the adults could tell.

"I'm sorry about your friend." Dinah broached gently, Oliver shooting her a scathing look, Dinah sending him on back.

"She was never my friend." Kate answered hollowly and Dinah swallowed harshly, concern splayed over her face like an open book.

"We don't have to talk about this right now, okay?" Oliver whispered, leaning down slightly to catch Kate's eye. "You've had a long day; you must be tired. We'll let you get some rest okay?" Oliver couldn't even start to get up before Kate's fingers turned to steel around his.

"Can you stay? Please? Both of you?" Kate's voice, in all the time that Dinah and Oliver had known her, had never sounded so fragile. So quietly desperate.

"Of course. We're not going anywhere, we promise." Dinah hugged Kate's body to hers, the family of three settling in for the night. Kate sandwiched between Dinah and Oliver. Snug as a bug and blissfully unaware of the adults struggle to fit in the small bed. They wouldn't be moving to save the world though.

"G'dnight, I'love you." Kate mumbled as she sank into the darkness of sleep. Warm, happy, and knowing she was safe.

Her light snores filled the room as Dinah and Oliver shared overjoyed smiles with happy tears glimmering in their eyes. Their family back together again, and that's all they'd ever need.

Dinah x Helena + siren!Helena

A Siren and a Songbird

Gotham is… weird.

It’s loud and bright and dark, there’s so much going on and yet no one seems to know where they’re going. No one’s paying any attention.

Helena could last a long while in a place like this.

She can smell the death and decay in the air, and no one asks questions when someone turns up missing.

All that can wait, though. She’s here for a reason, and it’s not looking for new hunting grounds.

Revenge. So close she can almost taste the blood on her lips. ___

It’s simple recon when Helena slips into the club, not really expecting to find anything of interest.

Just more of the same- flashy people drowning themselves in colors and noise, so desperate to be noticed, and desperate to lose themselves in the throng of sweaty club-goers pressed against their skin.

They never stop to think about what might be lurking in the shadows, just whose attention they might be attracting.

They never consider that once they get lost among the crushing waves of bodies and heat, they might never be found.

All presumptions of a boring, straightforward night of observation are shattered when the woman on stage starts singing.

At first, Helena thinks it’s another siren.

The hair on the back of her neck stands on end, a shiver running down her spine. The singer’s voice draws her in, and Helena can’t look away. Doesn’t want to.

She doesn’t so much as glance in Helena’s direction, but the words spilling from her lips are transfixing.

No, not the words. The sounds.

It’s her voice. It’s the way she moves, it’s the shape of her mouth as it curls around bitterness, it’s the mastery of the control and power and feeling she puts in every note- it’s everything about her. The lyrics are nothing next to her, without her, and she is-

She is-

There’s nothing supernatural about her singing. She’s just that good.

And so beautifully human.

Gravity Falls, Swiftblade Rises - Lance Family xBaby!Lance Reader x Platonic!Dick Grayson

A/n: We’ve got Baby!Danvers and Little!Luthor but now we have Baby!Lance too

You were 8 years old when the Queen’s Gambit sank and you lost one of your sisters. You lost your father to alcohol, your mother to guilt and your remaining sister to anger. 

Your family lost two daughters that day as you ran away, finding shelter in the travelling circus who took you in after you showed potential to become a acrobat. The SCPD never found you and Y/n Lance disappeared because you ran away and joined the circus.

You trained to become an acrobat in the traveling circus, Haly’s Circus. You were watched by many due to an accident years ago, the Flying Graysons fell to their death, leaving their son orphaned. Apparently he had then been adopted by Bruce Wayne. 

That was the day that Gravity was born.

You didn’t just learn acrobatics at the circus however. You’d learned many languages from travelling to different places under the name they’d given you to protect you. They knew what had happened to your family as you’d told them when you were 13. You’d told them as you’d just found out Oliver Queen was alive. The amount of knives you’d thrown in your reaction that hit the target shocked the visiting Dick Grayson who recognised the emotions you were feeling.

You’d been training with Dick Grayson aka Nightwing as you’d figured out quite quickly for a little over a year when Haly’s Circus went to Central City. The date was December 11th, 2013.

It was only a practice performance for the next night but you didn’t know your trapeze had been tampered with as you took your turn to go. 

The trapeze rope snapped, causing you to stare up in horror as your arms reached for a trapeze that wasn’t there. It was in that moment that the wave of dark matter you’d come to learn, from S.T.A.R. Lab’s Particle Accelerator hit you just before Dick Grayson did the one thing he was never able to do for his parents. 

He saved you. 

Your hand covered your mouth in shock as the grip on your ankles stopped you from falling to your death.

That was the night Gravity fell, and Swiftblade was born.

It took 9 months for your powers to develop and occur as you subconsciously began to manipulate the gravity around you to slow your movement between trapezes to reach them easier. Your acrobatic skills increased and so did your martial art skills plus accuracy with knives. Your physical abilities improved thanks to training with Nightwing and your powers whilst your mental abilities increased thanks to Dick Grayson and the circus.

By 2016 you’d learned to consciously control and use your gravity manipulation powers to become the vigilante Swiftblade, working alongside Nightwing to fight crime after you were given a white and purple suit. Designed  Designed so you’d can be flexible and use your acrobatic skills in combat along with martial arts and knife throwing to fight crime without harm or restriction to movement.

In 2013 it was revealed your sister, Sara had survived the sinking of the Queen’a Gambit alongside Oliver Queen although you didn’t know this. You also didn’t know that in 2016, Damien Darhk attempted to murder your other sister, Laurel. Luckily she just survived the stabbing and Oliver ended Damien Darhk’s life. You were also unaware of the existence of the a doppelganger of Laurel although Dick had told you about the multiverse as Bruce had told him.

In 2018 your father was shot and almost killed by Ricardo Diaz but he survived as Diaz ended up dead months later at the hands of Emiko, Oliver’s half-sister you were also unaware of...

Year: 2020, Post-Crisis on Infinite Earths

“Remind me what we’re doing here, please.” Earth 2 Laurel asked, linking arms with Dinah who walked besides her, Sara and Ava were walking along holding hands as Earth 1 Laurel walked alongside Quentin.

“We’re going to see Haly’s circus. Apparently they have impressive knife throwing.” Sara stated with a smile.

“Plus other acts that don’t sound like the League of Assassins like trapeze artists and acrobats.” Quentin added causing  E1 Laurel to smile.

“Is one of the performers named Gravity?” E2 Laurel questioned causing Dinah to chuckle. “I think so, why?” Ava asked in response, turning to face E2 Laurel gesturing to a poster of you.

“Apparently her trapeze acts look like she’s floating or there’s no gravity as she swoops through the air...” Ava began to ramble causing Sara to smirk at her.

“Well, we’ll find out as the circus is around the corner-” Quentin began to speak before he was cut off by someone trying to get past him.

“Excuse me.” You mumbled, hiding your shock behind a blank expression as you fiddled with the hood of your hoodie. “No problem, sorry.” Quentin replied before watching you walk away.

“Dad, what is it?” E1 Laurel asked, gaining everyone else’s attention.

“She seemed familiar, Laurel, that’s all.” Quentin replied with a shrug. Not realising you’d lingered to hear what they said before jumping the nearby fence to take a shortcut into the Star City park where Haly’s Circus had set up.

You let out a breath, blocking out what had just happened from memory as you removed your hoodie and trackies to reveal your performance outfit.

“Everything okay?” A voice asked as you began to fix your hair.

“I’m fine.” You stated, glancing at the person in the mirror as they raised an eyebrow behind their sunglasses.

“You know I can tell when you’re lying, right?” Dick Grayson reminded you causing you to sigh, letting your shoulders slouch.

“Remember when I told you my story about how I ran away from my family age 8... I’m from Star City, or Starling City as it used to be called... and I’m pretty sure I just ran into my dad on the way here.” You admitted, pausing as you realised Dick as hacking the CCTV cameras and using facial recognition.

“Quentin Lance is here, along with someone not on the database, your dead sister Sara, Dinah Drake from the SCPD, your sister Laurel and I’m assuming a doppelganger of Laurel Lance as well...” 

You frowned at this before pausing as you realised it was your time to perform as you put on your mask.

“Time for Gravity to fly...” You whispered, smiling softly at Dick who gave you a thumbs up. “You’ll be great, kid.” 

You let out a breath as you somersaulted into the spotlight, listening to the crowds cheers as you headed up to the trapezes, ignoring the light on you as you began your performance.

“She really does look like she’s floating...” Ava stated, Sara nodding in agreement with a mouthful of popcorn.

“Isn’t the name Gravity ironic? Because she’s in the air and gravity is her worst enemy right now?” E2 Laurel questioned causing Dinah to pause.

“Yeah, if you think about it...”

“That’s not the reason she’s called Gravity, I’m afraid.” A voice cut them off. Dick Grayson hid his smirk as he began to investigate your family to see whether they had changed from the family you’d ran away from back in 2007.

“Why is she called Gravity then?” Dinah asked causing Dick to smile softly.

“Her background, like many people at the circus is a sad one, she ran away from home at a young age and ended up joining. She was a natural at acrobatics, almost like gravity had no effect on her on the trapeze...it’s like she controls her own personal gravity up there...” 

“She’s a runaway, why were the police not informed?” Dinah asked causing Dick to sigh.

“You think the SCPD were bothered about a missing child when things like the Queen’s Gambit sinking had occurred as well? One missing girl wasn’t a priority at the time...” Dick explained, causing Quentin to pay attention.

“She ran away in 2007 at the same time the Queen’s Gambit went down?” Quentin questioned causing Dick to nod.

“Damn, Gravity can throw knives too!” Sara exclaimed, gesturing to you now performing using knife throwing skills.

Quentin had a faraway look on his face as Dick stood up.

“Ask for Dick Grayson to security after the show, if you’re sure about what you’re going to do, Lance.” Dick stated, getting up and walking away from the stands, aware you’d been watching in your periphery.

///

“He recognised you.”

“I know he did, but I’m not the 8 year old girl he remembers.” You stated, crossing your arms.

“Hey, I’m not leaving you with them if you don’t want to, okay?” Dick stated causing you to smile slightly. “You’re like the older brother I never had...” You chuckled causing Dick to grin slightly before security entered.

“Lance family plus an Ava Sharpe and Dinah Drake.” 

Dick just nodded before withholding a face-palm at you twirling a knife between your fingers.

“Y/n?” Quentin Lance asked, the words barely leaving his lips as his daughters whirled around in confusion and shock.

“What? Y/n? You really think-” Laurel began but she stopped speaking as you removed your performance mask.

“Obviously this could be a trick, has that occurred to you?” E2 Laurel asked causing you to roll your eyes before putting your hand out, wincing slightly at the pricking of the needle.

“Still can’t believe you carry that on you.” You mumbled as Dick gave the handheld DNA tester to Dinah to look at.

“How do you have one of these? These are Wayne Enterprises... You’re Dick Grayson, one of Bruce Wayne’s adopted sons.” Dinah realised causing Dick to just shrug with a smile.

“Check the DNA result.” Dick suggested with a small grin, causing you to roll your eyes.

“Y/n M/n Lance, born 1999 in Starling City, Earth 1... she’s...she’s your daughter Quentin.” Dinah stated causing everyone to wide eye you as you didn’t react.

“Y/n, I’m sorry-”

“Why did you run away?” E2 Laurel asked causing you to pause twirling the knife in your hand, letting go and ignoring how it was floating in the air.

“Let’s see, big sister gets with bigger sister’s boyfriend on boat, boat sinks, big sister dies, father is heartbroken and retreats to alcohol and working, mother runs away due to guilt, bigger sister is angry follows father into work. Little 8 year old is left what the hell happened so she runs away and nobody notices, later joining the circus... and here we are.” You explained, uncrossing your arms to take the knife into your hand again.

“You’re a meta-human.” Sara stated causing you to glance at her.

“You’re alive.” Your eyes lingered in Sara and who you assumed to be Ava next to her before lingering on the two versions of Laurel.

“Gravity, we have to go.” Dick suddenly stated, eyes focused on his phone. You squinted at him a bit before realising what he meant.

“We have to go.” You stated, grabbing your backpack and turning to leave.

“And just like that, you expect me to let you just run away again?” Quentin burst out causing you to turn around and sigh, scrambling for a piece of paper.

“My number... the circus leaves Star City tomorrow but I’ll keep in touch... I’m not the 8 year old girl you remember, okay?” You explained before leaving.

Quentin stared at the paper in his hand before taking his phone out of his pocket.

“You think its her actual number?” E1 Laurel asked, half suspicious, half hopeful.

“We can only hope...” Quentin replied.

///

“Swiftblade, ready?” Nightwing questioned causing you to nod at him.

“I still don’t get why Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are here...” You stated causing Nightwing to shrug. “I don’t know why they left Gotham but with Oliver Queen gone, who knows which Star City vigilantes will step up to the plate.” 

The two of you smashed through the skylights to take on the goons that Harley and Ivy had hired as back-up before you moved on to fight Harley.

A scream shook you out of it as you used your powers to push yourself out of range of the blast.

“Damn, red, looks like we’ve got a screamer.” Harley joked causing you to grimace, ready to start fighting again when your eyes landed on the people who had arrived. You withheld speaking as it ran through your mind, what were they all doing here?

You were shook out of it as a vine almost hit your father, using your body, you propelled yourself in its path, letting out a grimace of pain as you pushed yourself up using your arms to force your legs over your head.

“Y/n...” Quentin whispered in realisation before you broke your gaze with him.

“Swiftblade, little help here!” Nightwing shouted, making you jump into action against Ivy with Nightwing as the three Black Canaries and White Canary worked on taking down Harley.

“Y/N?”

You were currently standing in Felicity’s apartment alongside the OTA and NTA. After the disastrous events that followed yours and your father’s rescue, Rene, Dinah and Curtis had formed their own team which left you in between the two teams.

OTA had asked you all to meet them so they could discuss the situation. Oliver had apologised for his actions and wanted to start with a clean slate. NTA had unanimously declined but that wasn’t an opinion you shared.

You walked over to stand beside OTA, looking back at your girlfriend. You opened your mouth to apologise before being interrupted by Dinah.

“I told you, y/n. What’s right for you.”

She said matter-of-factly as your mind flashed to a couple of weeks prior.

You teleported outside Dinah’s apartment, not wanting to walk there. You had just left the bunker, Oliver reluctantly letting you go and you felt exhausted. Raising your hand to knock on the door, it was almost instantly opened by Dinah. Her look of anger softening at the tears in your eyes.

She ushered you into her apartment and led you to her sofa where you both sat. Your voice not strong enough to speak, you wrapped your arms around you, rocking yourself. Dinah immediately gathered you into her arms and you allowed the tears to fall.

“I‘m sorry. I didn’t know.”

She soothed you as she cradled you against her chest, gently shushing you as you murmured your apologies.

When you had finally quietened, you stayed still in her arms until Dinah pulled back so she could place her hand on your cheek, lifting your face up to stare at her.

“I don’t want this to make you upset. You have to do what you have to do. I will accept your choices, y/n. That is what a relationship is. We support one another. If you decide to go back to Oliver, then okay. You do what’s right for you.”

“Oh great, are you going to tell me not to out Oliver too?”

Laurel turned around as you approached her, the court having just taken a break.

Oliver was currently on trial for being the Green Arrow and Laurel had been called as a witness. A worry to everyone, to say the least.

“No. Honestly,” you added when she raised her eyebrows in disbelief,

“I just wanted to say that I get that you’re in an impossible situation. You can either tell the truth which protects you but Oliver is convicted or you could lie which helps us but puts you in danger.”

“A way to sum it up, y/n. And you think I should be more like your Laurel and say-“

“No, Laurel.”

You sighed, “I know you’re not my Laurel. You and her are different people. I would never expect you to be like her because you aren’t her. You can only be yourself. As much as I love Laurel, she wasn’t perfect. Seriously.” You said when Laurel frowned.

“She used to say once you let the darkness inside, it never comes out. She had her own secrets, as do you. It’s not black and white. I don’t expect you to be one or the other.”

“Why are you even telling me this? Dinah’s not gonna be happy.” Laurel deflected, crossing her arms.

“Yes, you killing Vince strained our relationship but we worked through it. To paraphrase what someone close to me said, You have to do what you have to do. I will accept your choices, because that is what friends do. You have to do what’s right for you.”

“Y/N. Laurel.”

The both of you looked back at Dinah and Diggle who were standing outside the court doors. They told you that the court was back in session so Laurel walked past you but stopped when you grabbed her arm.

“Whatever mess Ollie is in right now is his own doing. He knew this was a possibility the moment he first put on that hood. Don’t worry about him. And you’re right, you’re not my Laurel but you are Laurel Lance. I am your sister and you are mine. You being from another Earth doesn’t change that.” You said fiercely.

The blonde nodded and the two of you walked back into the court room.

***

“Hurry.”

Using your powers, you teleported the team and the FBI to the abandoned building where Diaz was holding Laurel and Quentin.

After Laurel had testified that Tommy Merlyn was the Green Arrow, therefore exonerating Oliver, she had been taken by Diaz. Your father had agreed to meet him to get her and got himself kidnapped too in the process. But you were able to track him through his pacemaker so you teleported all of you there.

As the others ran to find them, you remained in place and focused on your heart. You knew you’d be able to find your family quicker that way.

Locking onto your father’s heartbeat, you teleported into a metal cage and saw a gun raised in the air.

“2...1...”

“NO!”

A gun shot rang out as you pushed your father aside and jumped in front of him and Laurel. Falling to the ground with a groan, white hot pain seared through your body and you clutched your stomach but blood quickly coloured your hands.

“Y/N!”

Laurel and Quentin shouted in shock as they clambered to your side. Then you all looked up to see Diaz gone and Dinah in his place.

“Oh my god,” she gasped before looking at Laurel.

“Dee, please.”

You uttered, wordlessly begging her not to resume the feud between her and your sister. You watched as she raised her weapon and pulled Laurel’s sonic dampener off her neck.

You felt yourself being lifted in your father’s arms, Laurel and Dinah on either side, using their screams to defeat the bad guys.

Once you were out of the building, your father quickly but gently laid you on the hospital bed in the ambulance. The car engine came to life as it sped away, the sirens filling the air but slowly fading away.

Opening your eyes, you were surprised at your surroundings.

You were in your apartment that you had shared with Laurel. Sitting upright, your hands flew to your stomach as you lifted your shirt to see the wound but were shocked when you felt nothing but smooth skin.

“Y/N?”

You stood up from the sofa and stilled at the familiar voice. You slowly turned around, not believing your ears. When your eyes fell upon them, they widened as your jaw dropped.

“L-Laurel?”

The blonde smiled and you realised exactly which Laurel she was.

“Oh my-You’re my Laurel.”

“Hi, babygirl.”

At the use of your nickname, you ran towards your sister and launched into her arms, tears running down your face.

“God, I missed you. Wait, how am I here? Am I dead?”

You asked, arms wrapped tightly around Laurel, as if scared that the moment you let go, she’d disappear.

“You’re not dead, honey. This is the world between worlds. Your safe place. You’re in a coma and your mind is here but your soul and body are in the hospital.”

Resting your head in the crook of Laurel’s neck, you hugged her once more, still not believing she was here.

“I miss you so much, Laurel. When I see Black Siren everyday, it just makes me miss you that much more.”

“Speaking of which, how is my doppelgänger?”

“She’s not evil if that’s what you’re asking. She used to be but I think she’s just conflicted. You two actually have a lot in common.”

“Y/N Lance, always seeing the best in people.”

“Me and Black Siren have gotten quite close recently...” You said warily, your smile faltering.

At this, Laurel cupped your cheek, tilting your head upwards, so you could look into her eyes when you shyed away,

“Baby, she’s not me. She’s a completely different person. And from what I’ve seen, she cares about you too. This whole parallel worlds thing messes with my head but I think you need someone.”

“You have Dinah on one side, who is doing great as the Black Canary by the way, and Black Siren on the other. I may not be physically with you, well, I am technically.”

She laughed before continuing,

“What I’m trying to say is, is that it’s okay if you want to get to know her. I’m still with you, wherever you go.”

“I don’t want to leave you.”

“You have to, babygirl...You have a world you have to get back to.”

“I don’t want to live in a world that you’re not a part of. I-I can’t lose you again.”

“You won’t lose me. I’m always with you.”

She took off her necklace and put it around your neck. Then she placed her hand on your chest, over your heart and you covered her hand with yours and squeezed in longing.

“No matter where you go, I will always be by your side.”

She placed a kiss on your forehead and wrapped her arms around you once more before you felt yourself slipping away.

“I love you, Laurel.”

“I love you too, y/n.”

“I’m sorry. We tried everything.”

Dr Schwartz solemnly said as tears fell down everyone’s faces.

CRASH

Everyone ran towards the hospital door and were surprised at what they saw.

It was you. Or was it?

You were laying in the bed, eyes closed, seemingly dead...or unconscious at the very least. But there was another you, like a projection, that was currently fighting Diaz in the room.

He had you pinned against the wall, hand around your throat, when you faded away and materialised again, now out of his grip.

“This is for shooting me.”

You kicked him in his groin causing him to keel over in pain.

“And this is for kidnapping my family.”

You swung at his head, successfully knocking him unconscious as he slumped to the ground.

You looked up at the door where everyone was stood, including Sara, and you opened your mouth to speak when you noticed the FBI agent.

“Well, cuff him. He’s not gonna stay down forever.”

Once Diaz was handcuffed and escorted out of the room, you felt yourself fade away again.

Then you, the you in the bed, woke up in a rush, lurching to sit upright. You blinked hard when the room span, and again when there was a sharp pain in your side. You had forgotten that you had been shot.

“What the-“

Rene stopped himself from letting out a curse.

“I didn’t know you could do that.” Sara said.

“Neither did I. Astral Projection...Cool.”

Sara, Quentin and Dinah walked to the side of your bed, each of them hugging you but taking care not to touch your wound.

“God, what is it with us Lance’s and stomach wounds?” You laughed but cringed when a sharp pain ran through you.

“Hey, where did you get that?”

“I gave it to her.”

Laurel replied to Felicity when she pointed out the necklace around you.

Glancing down, you smiled and looked back up at Laurel. It was the exact same necklace that your Laurel had placed around you earlier.

“You and my Laurel really are similar. It’s a long story.” You added when everyone’s eyebrows were raised in question.

“So...what’d I miss?”

Your family caught you up on everything that happened when you were in the hospital and you explained that your projection teleported Diaz to you after you had focused on your wound that he had caused.

Soon enough, everyone was laughing together and you couldn’t help but smile because it had been a while since you all were this happy.

“Are we finally done with the fighting? I don’t want to choose between you all.”

“Yes, we’re done. All we care about now is you.”

Dinah said, tenderly kissing your lips but with a ferocity that usually comes with almost losing someone you love.

Pulling away from the kiss, you smiled against her lips when she touched her forehead against yours before straightening beside you.

“Thank God. I love you all. But that feud was ridiculous. So...now that Diaz is gone, what’s next?”

The moment the words left your mouth, a figure appeared, dressed to the nines in weird space-type clothing.

You and the rest of your family looked at the man in concern when Oliver shouted, “Who the hell are you?”

“I am Mar Novu and there is a malevolent force at work, one driven by a singular goal. The destruction of all there is. The time for preparation has passed.”

“The Crisis is now upon us all.”
