Red Canary (Fanfiction)

Black and Blue

🐤Laurel Lance POV🐤

I got out of that coffee shop as quick as I could.  Roy was from back home.  Back home is... not a place I want to remember.  I moved south because there are to many painful memories up north, where I was born and raised and lived my whole life.  I got calls from my Dad and Oli on a regular basis begging me to come back.  I don't think Oli really minds.  He got over me a long time ago, when we were still dating and he took my sister on his fathers yacht with him.  I tore myself apart when I heard that my boyfriend had ran off with my sister and that they were both dead.  Five years I pitied myself and felt guilty for pitieing myself.  Then Oli came back.  He wasn't dead he had lived on a deserted island for five years and I wanted more than anything for my sister to be alive as well.  It took me two more years to get my wish...

🐤Laurel Lance POV🐤

I stumbled into my apartment.  I vaguely recall going to the club and drinking.  Drinking.  I wonder if I have a bottle in the cabinet?  I threw my keys at the table, missing, and made my way to the kitchen tripping a few times.  I reached up towards the highest cabinet where I kept the liquor.  I grabbed at the first thing I could reach.  I pulled it down stumbling back as I did.  I moved over to the next cabinet looking for a wine glass.  I think I'm holding a wine bottle.  I reached and felt one start to tumble down it dropped past my head and onto the floor with a crash.  I shrugged it off as a grabbed another glass.  I saw a line of blood on my arm.  Blood?  Oh well.  I sloppily poured into the second glass and made my way back to the living room.  I thought I heard a crunching sound as I walked but my functions are kind of down.  I sat with my glass of wine and turned on the TV.  I spent what felt like hours laughing at the TV as I sipped my drink.  I put the glass to my mouth and realized it was empty.  I turned it upside-down to make sure.  I need more!  I stood up and my vision went fuzzy I somehow ended up looking at the ceiling.  No, I need more alcohol!  A face appeared above me.  Sara?  That's when everything went black. 

"I found her on her apartment floor. She has a cut on her arm and had a bunch of glass jammed in her feet." 

I started to open my eyes.  I had a hang over and I wasn't drunk anymore.  To bad.  I recognized where I was.  Not the hospital but the cold hard floor of the Foundry.  Oliver had told me last year he is the Arrow.  A vigilante I once resented for letting my boyfriend die.  It still hurts to think of Tommy.  I need another drink.

"I'm trying to help her, she won't let me." 

I recognized the voice as Olivers. 

"You shouldn't ask for permission." 

That voice was familiar.  Oliver didn't let me know who he worked with.  Any idiot could figure out his 'bodyguard' and girlfriend are helping him.  I just don't know who the red hooded kid is, and I don't really care.  There is something else in that voice.  Like it's a voice I once knew.  I slowly sat up with my eyes held shut holding my head.  I heard footsteps coming towards me.  I slowly peeled my eyes open to look at the person in front of me.  It wasn't Oliver, it was a women wearing all black,  I lifted my head to see her face. 

"Sara?"

🐤Laurel Lance POV🐤

I walked into the courthouse trying to shake my sister from my mind.  It took forever to get in, because of the security and what not.  I always hate when they grab my case files and flip through them as if peoples private lives aren't written in them.  I finally got into court.  My client owns a pub that was viciously robbed last month.  Three thugs came in with baseball bats and steel pipes, beating everything in their sight.  They demand that he empty the cash register or 'Brick will let me kill you myself'.  No one knew who Brick was untill these idiots tried to rob my client.  One got away with the cash but Oliver and his team caught the other two.   Now it is my job to get my client what he deserves, justice.  Whoever this 'Brick' is needs to come to face the the law.
