ATERCANARIAM: 

"THOUGHT I’D COME BY AND SURPRISE YOU."

SARA DIDN’T KNOW HOW LONG SHE HAD BUT SHE WAS DEFINITELY GOING TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT WHILE SHE COULD. WHO KNOWS WHEN SHE WOULD GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO GO BACK HOME. THINGS WERE SLOWLY BECOMING GOOD BETWEEN HER AND LAUREL, IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO WASTE A CHANCE TO SEE HER.

SARA STEPS INTO LAUREL’S APARTMENT AND REMOVES HER JACKET.

"SO SIS WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO? BUT ANY BIG BAD GUYS AWAY LATELY?"

"WELL, YOU HAVE CERTAINLY SURPRISED ME. IN A GOOD WAY."

LAUREL KNEW HOW DEMANDING AND UNRELENTING THE JOB OF BEING IN THE LEAGUE OF ASSASSINS COULD BE, FROM WHAT SHE’D GLEANED FROM SEEING THE WEIGHT OF RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING IN IT, FROM SARA AND NYSSA.

"OH, I WAS JUST WATCHING CRIMINAL MINDS—” SHE INDICATED TO THE TV, WHICH WAS STILL AIRING THE EPISODE.  ”AND, YES, YES, I HAVE. PUT A BAD GUY AWAY A FEW DAYS AGO, ACTUALLY.”

"AND WHAT ABOUT YOU? ARE YOU ALRIGHT?"

CONCERN COLOURS HER VOICE.

ATERCANARIAM:

IT HAD BEEN MONTHS SINCE SARA HAD BEEN IN STARLING. THE LEAGUE KEPT HER RATHER BUSY THOUGH SHE DIDN’T MIND ANYMORE. THINGS HAD CHANGED SINCE SARA HAD DECIDED TO GO BACK. NOW SHE ONLY KILLED WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, OLIVER HAD RUBBED OFF ON HER MORE THAN SHE WOULD CARE TO ADMIT. NYSSA ALSO ACCEPTED THIS CHANGE IN SARA WHICH MADE THINGS MUCH EASIER FOR HER.

ONE OF HER JOBS BROUGHT HER BACK RATHER CLOSE TO STARLING SO AGAINST HER BETTER JUDGEMENT SARA MADE THE QUICK TRIP OVER. SHE MISSED HER FAMILY AFTER ALL. HOPING HER SISTER IS AT HOME SARA MAKES HER WAY THERE, HER HEART BEGINS TO BEAT A LITTLE FASTER. SHE SHOULDN’T BE NERVOUS, WHY WAS SHE NERVOUS? 

SHE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR AND THEN QUICKLY SHOVES HER HANDS INTO HER POCKETS. A NERVOUS SMILE GRACES HER LIPS WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED.

                                             ”HI LAUREL.”

"SARA…"

LAUREL’S SHOW IS QUICKLY FORGOTTEN, AS SHE SEES SARA IN THE DOORWAY.

IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THE BREATH WAS KNOCKED OUT OF HER, UPON SEEING HER LITTLE SISTER AGAIN. LAUREL THOUGHT THAT THE LEAGUE OF ASSASSINS WOULD KEEP HER BUSY FOREVER. MONTHS HAD PASSED. WORDS COULD NOT FULLY DESCRIBE HOW MUCH SHE MISSED SARA.

QUICKLY REGAINING HER COMPOSURE, SHE SMILES IN RETURN.

"HEY, SARA. LONG TIME NO SEE. COME IN!"

SHE MOVES OUT OF THE DOORWAY, FOR SARA TO ENTER.
