Silent as the Night
Laurel
“ Not Nyssa... ” Oliver said sternly as he watched the girl in front of them. “ I sort of forgot to tell Cait that I was married to Nyssa Al Ghul before I was married to her...Cait will kill me if she ever finds out. ” His growing pile of worries were distracted for a moment as the girl in front of them nearly broke her chair that he had tied her to before he unmasked her. “ It’s okay, Laurel, ” he whispered and pulled her closer so that he could press a kiss to her forehead to calm her nerves. “ I know you’re not going to like this...but... ”
Just as he began to explain that he needed to sedate their daughter, Charlotte had managed to do a back flip and break the chair that he had put her in. “ Xiao not dishonor Sensei Nyssa...! ” Throwing herself to her feet, the tiny ninja did a sideways kick that landed hard, against Oliver’s knee. This caused him to topple over (taking laurel with him) but he attempted to gain control of the girl by grabbing for her ankle.
After Charlotte responded to his actions by using his hand as a spring board to jump over both of them; he was certain that the cracking noise her foot made against his hand meant that he’d be out of business while he healed the things were broken. None the less, the girl dropped to the floor a moment later and it wasn’t until Speedy jumped down from an open tile in the drop ceiling that he realized why their daughter had gone down so quickly.
“ You guys looked like you could use some help... ” Thea shrugged as she held up a shiny new blow gun that Cisco had created for her, “ and you might want to consider getting off of Laurel, Ollie. Caitlin could walk in any minute and this doesn’t exactly look good on either of you. ” And it didn’t, but this was the first time that Thea Queen had been in town for a few months so she wasn’t going to pretend to lecture them too much.
