In my mind Oliver and Earth-2 Laurel’s dynamic is distant acquaintances who fight sometimes but share a partner (Felicity) so they get along as best they can.
i hc that felicity, of course, had her nipples pierced back when she was a hacktivist, and has maintained the piercings, but also. asdfghjy. when black siren's in love with her felicity makes her get her own pierced too so they can match<3
i.
We are hard on each other
and call it honesty,
choosing our jagged truths
with care and aiming them across
the neutral table.

“I can’t believe I really just used my powers to get a cat out of a tree. Am I a firefighter or something?”
You shook your head laughing as you sat down in the cortex.
“Hey, at least she tipped you.”
“She gave me a butterscotch, Cisco. It doesn’t matter anyways, at least she got her cat back. How he got up there in the first place though, who knows?”
You were interrupted when the computer started beeping and Barry, Caitlin and Iris came running in.
“Someone’s just robbed a bank.” Iris said.
“Okay, Cisco, Caitlin and I can handle this.”
You said, as Cisco produced a breach which the three of you jumped through.
***
You had managed to stop the robbers in the bank but there was a fourth person you were all unaware of who was driving the getaway car.
As you went to stop him, the car swerved from a lorry and rammed into an incoming car causing the car to flip upside down.
Without a second thought, you ran towards the accident and used your powers to help the injured woman out of the car as Caitlin and Cisco helped the robber out of his car.
You dragged the woman far away from the car and as you looked at the wreckage of the two cars, your mind flashed back to the worst moment in your life, and to make matters worse, the car blew up in flames.
You watched as the flames surrounded the woman’s car and as smoke filled the air.
Hex. Y/N.
You shook your head and focused on Iris and Barry who were shouting through the comms and on Caitlin and Cisco who had now put out the fire and were looking at you in worry.
You looked down at your hands which were covered in soot and then back up at the burned cars.
Then you took out the extrapolator from your pocket and breached yourself away from the scene.
***
“So no one’s seen her?”
Dinah asked, standing in the cortex with the rest of Team Flash, excluding you.
“No. And it’s been almost three days.” Cisco said worryingly.
“She’s only messaged me saying that she was okay and when we traced that, it pinged back to her apartment but we’ve been there and she’s not there.”
Caitlin explained, pacing around the room.
“Yeah, and I’ve searched the whole of Central City. I have no clue where she is.” Barry said.
“So what even happened? Just run me through it.”
“Y/n had just finished helping some woman and when she got back, we got an alert that a robbery was in progress so she, Caitlin and Cisco went.” Iris began.
“Yeah, and we stopped the robbers but it turned out there was a fourth guy who was in charge of the getaway.” Cisco continued.
“And when he tried to escape, he ended up swerving into this woman’s car, y/n got her out and then completely froze when the car went up in flames. And then she disapp-”
“Wait, it was a car crash?”
Dinah interrupted Caitlin, her demeanour completely changing.
“Shit,” she said when they all nodded in confirmation, “I need to find her.”
She went to walk off before being stopped by Caitlin.
“Dinah, what’s going on?”
Dinah looked at the group and sighed,
“A few years ago, before the particle accelerator exploded, y/n was in a car accident with our Mom. Y/n made it. Mom didn’t.”
Dinah cleared her throat when it broke slightly and then walked out of the cortex.
“Dinah, wait,”
Caitlin came running after the vigilante,
“I’m coming with you.”
“Are you sure? Y/n’s been through a lot and I know she’s not gonna be okay when we find her.”
“Dinah, she’s my girlfriend and I love her, I’m here for her always.”
Dinah lightly smiled in response, knowing that Caitlin meant every word.
It calmed Dinah to know that you had found someone who really loved you because you had dated a lot of idiots in the past, many of whom Dinah hated.
Who was she kidding?
She hated them all.
***
As Dinah and Caitlin drove through Central City, they fell deep into a conversation about the loss they had experienced when it came to relationships.
Dinah had lost Vinnie and Caitlin had lost Ronnie.
“You get through it in the end, y/n’s really helped me. Sometimes I just have really bad days and she just takes care of me.”
“I get it, she was the same with me when I was with Vinnie. But not a day goes by when I don’t think about him.”
It was weird for Dinah to be opening up to someone like this; it was only ever you she revealed her true self too. Hardly anyone on Team Arrow knew the real her.
Well, maybe Laurel and Felicity.
“I know I’m with your sister but if you ever need to talk, I’m here for you too. It does get better with time though. After a certain point, I realised that I stopped thinking about Ronnie, not in a bad way, but there came a time where I wasn’t upset all the time and I know that everything will be okay for you too.”
Caitlin said, stepping out of the car, and Dinah responded by placing a warm hand on her shoulder and smiling, “Thank you.”
“So where are we exactly?” Caitlin asked Dinah.
The two women looked up at the house where you were currently hiding.
“Our home. It looks exactly the same. Even down to the roses that Mom used to plant.” Dinah said in shock.
“It’s beautiful.” Caitlin said.
She had no other words to describe your home.
She noticed how the bright red roses towered above the lilies and how the difference in colours made the red stand out even more. She loved how the modern house was painted a light blue which contrasted beautifully with the dark grey of the roof.
It really gave the impression that the house was truly a home.
***
Dinah and Caitlin walked through the house and the former couldn’t believe the fact that nothing had changed.
“Y/n must have been coming here continuously. Nothing has chan-”
Dinah stopped talking when she heard a familiar voice coming from the room on the far end of the hallway.
When they reached the door, Dinah listened for a moment and then tears filled her eyes as her suspicions were confirmed.
She took a hold of the handle and gently opened the door to reveal you crying on the floor, wrapped up in your mom’s favourite blanket, watching a video of you, Dinah and your mom having a water fight in the front yard when you were kids - your dad was behind the camera.
You turned to look at the two figures at the door, your eyes were red and dripped with tears.
“Oh, baby girl.”
Dinah murmured as she went to sit next to you where she enclosed her arms around you.
You were still for a second, and then another, before you wrapped your arms around your sister and cried into her shoulder.
“I miss her so much.” You sobbed.
“I know, baby girl. I do too.” Dinah said, her tears now falling shamelessly from her eyes.
When you stopped crying, you pulled away from Dinah, stood up and looked up at Caitlin who was standing at the door, watching the embrace, her own eyes filled with tears.
“Nobody’s seen you in days.” Caitlin whispered.
“I’m so sorry.”
Caitlin’s heart practically broke when she saw how upset you were.
She walked up to you, placed a warm hand on your wet cheek and said,
“I’m here for you, no matter what.”
And just like that, the dam broke again and you began crying in Caitlin’s arms.
After a moment, Dinah moved to hug you too and you guys stayed like that for a few moments before you pulled away and wiped your tears.
“How’d you even find me?”
“I know you, y/n. This room was always your safe place. I still can’t believe it looks exactly like it did when we lived here.”
“I come here sometimes. Whenever I miss Mom a lot.”
You looked over at Caitlin, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. Sometimes I just need to be alone to work through it.”
“Hey, don’t apologise. You do whatever is best for you. And if being alone is what works for you, then I don’t mind, so long as you know, that if you need me, I’m here.”
“And I’m here for you too. If you ever need me, I’m only one phone call away and with the help of Barry, I can be here in a few seconds flat.”
“What about Oliver?”
“Baby, he knew what he was dealing with when he asked me to join. Besides, you come first. You’re my life, y/n.”
You took a hold of both Dinah and Caitlin’s hands,
