The Beginning of the Age of Heroes

Chapter 11

After the group had been out and found out what they could about the island they all went back to the plane so that they could talk about what they found. It had been a lot to take in at the beginning because they found out that the island was a lot bigger than they thought it was. If it hadn't been for the time that they had on their hands right now, they might have never had the chance to see what was on other parts of the island.

"So, what was your favorite part of the island that we didn't know about yet?" Oliver asked Laurel.

"I would have to say that little lake with a waterfall. I think we could definitely put that to use at another time when we are more alone." Laurel said with a smile.

"I like the way you think. I think we can definitely find our way back there." Oliver said.

"Get your mind out of the gutter, you two." Sara said as she couldn't help but laugh at them.

"What does it mean when you say "Get your mind out of the gutter?" Thea asked.

"You will learn one day Speedy, but for now, you don't need to know." Sara said and she couldn't help but laugh because the group kept on screwing up and saying things like that in front of Thea.

"You know if we keep on talking like this we might as well go on and tell her some things. We can't just keep on saying that she will learn later. Plus, she doesn't need to get home when she is 17 and know nothing about sex." Laurel said quietly to Oliver.

"I know. I'm just not ready to take all of her innocence from her yet. I never thought that she would kill someone at the age of twelve and it looks like she has taken more than one life." Oliver said.

"She is doing what she needs to in order to survive Ollie. I think by the end of this she will be an even better person than she is now and she will have learned so much because of her experiences here and in the League of Assassins." Laurel said.

"I guess you are right. I will start telling her some things. Just not yet." Oliver said as he kissed his girlfriend who was always smarter than he was.

"So, what was your favorite part of the island, Barry?" Kara asked.

"I liked that submarine that we found. I would have liked to have taken a closer look at it so that we could know where it was from and all of that." Barry said.

"You are such a geek, but I still love you." Kara said.

"What was your favorite part then?" Barry asked.

"I liked the monastery that we found. It kind of reminded me of some places on Krypton." Kara said quietly to Barry, who just nodded.

"What about you Sara? What was your favorite part?" Barry asked.

"I have to agree with Oliver and Laurel. I liked the lake with the waterfall." Sara said.

"Sounds like you. Always so horny." Laurel said quietly beside her sister who could only smile.

"What did you like Shado?" Yeo Fei asked.

"I liked the monastery. It kind of reminded me of home." Shado said.

"Yes. I have to agree with you there. What about you Thea?" Yeo Fei asked.

"I liked the submarine, like Barry did. Maybe we can go back one day and find out more about it." Thea said.

"I would be happy to go with you Thea, because I want to know more about it too." Barry said and Thea smiled at him.

"Thank you Barry." Thea said.

"I don't know what all of you are going on about. We are still stuck on this God forsaken island." Slade said.

"Don't worry Slade, I am sure we will find a way to get off of the island soon enough." Oliver said and the rest of the group nodded.

. . .

The next day it was back to training as usual, so all of the group was up early and ready to work. All of the kids were still eager to learn what they could so that they would be better fighters when it was time for the League of Assassins to find them. They worked very hard at what they were learning and right now they were really showing strides since they had gotten to the island and started training with Slade, Yeo Fei, and Shado.

"I am impressed kid, but don't think you are going to beat me anytime soon." Slade said to Oliver.

"I know it will be a while before that happens, but I know I will one day." Oliver said.

"I will never teach you everything that I know. That is a sign that you want someone to beat you. I have to keep an ace or two up my sleeve." Slade said.

"I bet I will beat you within the next couple of months Slade." Laurel said with a smile.

"Don't bet on it Laurel. If I am not going to let Oliver beat me, I am definitely not going to let you beat me." Slade said.

"I will beat you in two months. I guarantee it." Laurel said.

"Ok, you are on. I will fight you in two months time and I will beat you so badly that you won't even know what happened." Slade said.

As Laurel walked away, Kara walked up to her and asked, "How do you plan on beating him?"

"I am going to sandbag so that he doesn't think that I am that good and when we fight, I will show him everything that I know." Laurel said.

"I don't know if that will be enough Laurel." Kara said.

"I might also use a little bit of my powers." Laurel said with a smile.

"I knew you were going to say that. Good luck then." Kara said as she went back to training and so did Laurel.

A/N: I thought that it would be fun to add that part in with Laurel at the end. We all know that she and Sara are going to be some of the best fighters in the world once they are done with their training, so it will show some of what she is capable of when she is done training.
