Promises

Haunted

"No. We haven't spoken since I returned. She's avoiding me I believe she moved to Central City." 

I nodded. 

"I wasn't expecting that, but he made a few good points." Oliver added. 

"What, like kicking your friends to the curb?"

"Well, my friendship with Laurel is... complicated." 

I laughed. "Yeah right." 

"Well, after I got back and you were gone she had hooked up with Tommy. Then we sort of hooked up but it didn't last because of you." 

I sighed and threw the stick on the ground. 

"Why? Why'd you do that?" 

"I thought you were dead. We all did. It's a miracle I lived." 

I glared at him. "Doesn't matter. We were still engaged." 

"You never said yes. You ran away like a coward." 

I swung my other stick at him. 

"Shut it! You're calling me a coward?! That's rich!" I yelled. 

Oliver blocked and we began to fight again. He knocked me to the ground and I lay there. 

"This is your overlord, Felicity Smoak." I heard from the P.A system. 

"We have a P.A. system?" 

"Yet another decision I might live to regret." Oliver replied. 

"Hi, what's going on" 

"Code 47 at a nightclub on Ninth. A blonde woman going cray cray. And since I'm down here, it's probably the blonde woman we've been looking for." 

"The woman who's killing people in Pennytown." I realized.

"Suit up." He told me. I nodded.

Loud dance music was playing while many people ran out of a building. 

"Help! Help!" 

"Run!" 

Laurel saw Sara and wrestled her to the ground. Sara broke free and raised Laurel's side-handle baton. I shot it out of her grasp with an arrow. 

Sara turned to look at me and I saw her face. 

I froze. "Sara..."

I put my bow way. 

"Your sister's alive, she's out there, and she's hurting people." Oliver said looking at Laurel. 

"How is she alive? The Lazarus Pit? You two spent your spa weekend at Nanda Parbat?" Oliver asked. "It was the only place we could get a reservation." Thea joked. "The blood lust is worse with Sara, because they brought her back from death." I said. "Yeah, and that's not the only problem. Sara's not herself. She's changed." "Why didn't you come to me with this?" Oliver asked. "why would they come to you?" I asked him. "Because of your expertise with magical resurrection? Or that judgmental look on your face?" I asked. "For help finding her, Lyam, before she gets hurt, or she hurts anyone else. And if I have a judgmental look on my face right now, it's because they played with forces that they do not understand, and now people are dying because of it."

"We need to talk." Lance said pulling his car into the bunker. "About Sara?" i asked him. "Laurel told you?" He asked sounding surprised. "Not exactly." "You got to admire her consistency. Keeps her death secret from me, her resurrection secret from you." "Are you okay?" I asked him. "Am I okay? I think there are certain situations in life where the word "okay" does not apply." "Well, we're working on finding Sara." I reassured him. "Good. Because we got other problems." he replied handing me what looked to be a USB Drive. i walked over to Felicity and Oliver and showed her it. "It's a rat. A remote access Trojan. Basically a computer virus. A polymorphic code designed to target and erase certain pieces of data. It's buried under three levels of encryption. By the time I've cracked it-" "Darhk could be wondering why I haven't run his errand for him." Lance finished for her. "I'm not sending you to break into a federal facility without back-up." Oliver told him. "I don't want Laurel knowing about me and Darhk." "I wasn't suggesting Laurel." Oliver said looking to me.
