My beloved
Nyssa and Talia were standing around with their fancy black umbrellas having an unpleasant conversation:
“My condolences on your husband’s passing,” Talia spoke, shifting her position, moving the umbrella that she was holding over herself and her sister.
“I had our marriage erased,” Nyssa replied, still disgusted with the memory of having to marry a man and Oliver Queen at that.
“Feelings cannot be erased,”
“I had no feelings for him, our marriage was father’s perverse joke meant to torment me.”
“Our father only ever meant for you to have a normal life.”
“I have lived a life far more normal than the one father designed for me,” Nyssa gave Talia the final death glare when the pretty blonde in a grey coat came up to them. “Hey, thank you for coming,” Sara spoke with a slight smile. “There’s nowhere else I’d be,” Nyssa returned the smile, “Sara, this is my sister Talia,” the two exchanged “hellos” and shook hands but Talia felt like she knew the woman from a very long time ago, she was like a faded memory...
"Talia, this is Sara, my beloved" Nyssa introduced her former lover to her sister. Sara smiled at them and left with her dad, she went over to his house to spend some quality time with him, she was filled with a lot of emotion at the revelation that her father is alive and wanted to enjoy that gift.
Later she decided to meet Nyssa at a diner to catch up while drinking milkshakes and eating fries. They had so much to talk about, Nyssa's marriage and the whole situation with Ra's and Sara's time travel shenanigans.
"So you're the captain? If you had told me all those years ago I wouldn't have believed but you have grown. I don't doubt you're a great leader." Nyssa remarked after Sara told her about her progression in the team. "Yeah, well, I didn't really want to but nobody else was fit to do the job so I kinda became the captain/mom to the team..." Sara laughed thinking back to the time when they were looking for the pieces of the spear of destiny, "... but now that Ava is with the team she really helps with the captain stuff, she's really good at that, maybe a bit uptight but she tries." Sara trailed off thinking about her girlfriend. "You speak very fondly of her, I am glad you found someone who makes you happy, habibti." Nyssa smiled and took Sara's hand. Sara smiled back. The two of them have changed and grown so much but they still had a lot of love for one another and were genuinely happy for each other.
After some more catching up Nyssa offered to take Sara to her new Star city apartment to drink wine, cuddle and sleep. Sara was quite happy with that, she hasn't slept outside of the Waverider for a while. Nyssa's apartment was very minimalist, there was only the necessary furniture and almost no decorations aside from some display swords and daggers. They sat together on the couch drinking wine, enjoying each other's company and touch. Nyssa shared the uncertainty of the future and Sara talked more about Ava. They ended up falling asleep snuggled up on the couch. When they woke up, they said their goodbyes and Sara left the apartment through a time portal.
Nyssa was curious about this Ava Sharpe so she did something she had never done before and googled the other woman. She found her Instagram which contained a few photos of the legends and a link to her podcast. Nyssa was a big fan of podcasts, she liked listening to them when she was relaxing at home. So she decided to give Stabcast a try. She poured herself some tea, sat down on the couch and took out her impressive collection of weapons, she put on the podcast and started sharpening all her knives, daggers and swords. She ended up enjoying the educational and entertaining podcast so after a while she had listened to every episode that was available. It felt a bit weird but she liked the podcast and she liked Ava quite a lot, she wondered if the two would ever get a chance to meet.
