Chapter 15: The End of an Era…
When Kara was asked to go see Ra's, she was confused as to why the Demon's head would ask to see her alone: she would always go on missions with her girlfriend and their best friend. As she got to the throne room, she was surprised to only see Ra's Al Ghul sitting there, and no one else like there normally is when he gives his men a mission. As she got to the throne, the blond woman bowed down before her master, ready for a mission. "You have requested my presence, master?" she asked, once the Demon's Head turned to her.
"Yes, Al Jahim," the man said, nodding his head at one of his horsemen. "I have a mission for you, alone," he said, making the girl look at him in surprise.
"What do you wish me to do, master?"
"Something is about to happen in Starling City. Al Sa Her, one of our former members, has plotted to destroy a part of the city. I need you to help with the reparations of the city, and if you can, get Al Sa Her to face justice for his sins," he said, and Kara nodded.
"I will do as you ask," she said accepting her mission.
"You will leave in two hours from here. Now go, gather your things," Ra's ordered, and Kara nodded again. "You may go," Kara got up and left the throne room. The second she got to into the room she shared with Nyssa, her girlfriend jumped on her, giving her a hug.
"What did my father want of you?" Nyssa asked, once she released Kara.
"I have to go to Starling City," Kara said, getting her things in order, including the remote of her nanites. "Ra's wants me to go deal with what will happen during the Undertaking very soon."
"Didn't you want to go see your friends, and make sure they were ok?" Nyssa asked, curious, yet confused.
"I know the rules of the League, Nyss. I don't want to get chased by any assassin you chose to take me back here. Or Ra's using every resource we have to make sure I die suffering," Kara said, laughing awkwardly.
"Come back to me," Nyssa said, going to the blond woman, and kissing her.
"I always will," Kara said, kissing her back.
"You better," Nyssa said, smirking. "You should bring a few others to make sure everything is safe."
"I will, and I promise," Kara nodded, also smirking. "I have to get ready, your father wants me to leave in two hours," Kara added, before going to get two assassins to come with her in Starling
A few hours later, after the three assassins landed in the nearest airport to Starling City, having taken a fake passport and IDs the League gave them, since Kara was technically dead. The security was simple to cross, they believed they was really the people they claimed to be. It helped that Kara wasn't wearing her glasses in this lifetime.
When the trio got to the city, Kara sped them directly to the Glades, to see the damages that had been done over the city. The Undertaking had just taken place, so it was hell everywhere. From her spot above the Clock Tower in the middle of this part of the city – leaving her partners inside – Kara could hear anything all around. "Laurel!" she heard Oliver cry out. "Where's Tommy?" he asked.
"I don't know… he was right behind me…" she heard the panic in their voices. Kara went inside the Tower to tell the other assassins where she was going, and sped off, focusing on their voices, leading her to the building CNRI. While looking inside, she saw Oliver, in Yao Fei's hood, and going to see if Tommy was there. He was, but unless she did something, he wouldn't be for long. Deciding that she could at least save her former boyfriend's best friend. She disappeared from her spot outside of CNRI, and appeared inside, staring at Oliver, before disappearing again, and taking him outside of the building. After placing Oliver out of harm's way, she came back for Tommy, carefully removing him from under some rubble, but deciding that the pipe in his chest would kill him if she removed him, she left it there. Hearing a faint heartbeat, she smiled, and went to him, giving him some air with her powers.
Realizing he didn't have much time before he would die if not treated, she grabbed him, and sped him to Starling General – more precisely, one of its doctors. "I need your help," she said, voice modulator on.
"You masked people, always bringing up trouble, what do you want?" the doctor said, turning to the blond assassin. He was shocked when he saw Tommy Merlyn next to the assassin.
"He will need treatment. The rubble didn't crush his legs, so he shouldn't be paralyzed," Kara said. "But the pipe could cause him to bleed out. Make sure he stays alive, I'm sure many people will be happy that you did," she added, and the doctor sighed.
"Fine, I will help him," the doctor finally said, after a second of thinking.
"Thank you," Kara said, nodding, before disappearing from view, leaving Tommy there with the doctor.
When she left the hospital, she went to see where Oliver had gone to, and tracked him to a rooftop with Al Sa Her, fighting. From the shadows of another nearby roof, Kara watched the fight go down.
The fight was not going in Oliver's favor, of course, since Al Sa Her was trained by the Demon's Head himself, it would be hard to win without using a little trickery. As she thought of that, Oliver placed himself in front of the man assassin, and used one of his arrows to hit himself in the shoulder, and piercing the assassin's own shoulder, and heart, killing him.
After making sure Al Sa Her was dealt with, Kara went back to helping the Glades. In the next few hours, the blond stuck to the shadows, and with her speed, saved a few people without being noticed. Only a dark blur in the night.
Many hours later, she returned to the Clock Tower. She decided she would return to Nanda Parbat in the next afternoon, giving her time to see if more people needed help.
Back in Nanda Parbat, Nyssa was getting worried, it had been 12 hours since Kara arrived in America, and she didn't give them any news. Worried her girlfriend was getting into some kind of trouble, she went to see her father to request he let her go bring Kara home. "Father," Nyssa said, bowing her head at her father.
"My daughter, what is it that you want?" Ra's asked, sitting on his throne.
"I wish to get Kara back to Nanda Parbat. She has been gone for a while, and I think she might get into trouble," Nyssa said, looking at her father.
"Do you only wish to go see your girlfriend only to check up on her, or do you want to be alone with her?" Ra's asked, looking back at her daughter.
"I just wish to take her back home so she doesn't get into much trouble," Nyssa said, defending herself.
"You may go if you must," Ra's said, waving his daughter off, so she left the room, and went to get ready for her trip. She took a fake passport and IDs and shoved them in her bag, since that was a way to not cause suspicion around them showing up in America. She also took communication devices only Kara could hear, so it would be easier to find her, and money.
Like for Kara, Nyssa's arrival in America was without problems, and she was able to go to the city without detection. She used her money to buy a burner phone so she could communicate with Kara once she had detected her. It took some time, however, for the assassin to figure out how the phone worked, considering Nyssa had spent all her life in Nanda Parbat, she never had to use one. She knew what they were, since she saw them in her numerous trips around the world, but the League did not find use of them. The only technology they had used was when Kara came into their lives.
When she was sure she knew how the phone worked, and she was in a secure location, Nyssa took out the device and placed it to her face, activating it.
Kara had returned to the Clock Tower for a break, after she had helped another group of people in Glades, when she heard the familiar ultrasounds the League used to communicate with her when she needed an update on a mission and they were separated. "Buy a burner phone and call me on this number: 4908928292," she heard Nyssa's voice, and used her powers to find a phone shop.
Twenty minutes later, she was out of the shop, phone in hand, so she typed the number her girlfriend was now using, and called her. "I'm surprised you figured out how these things worked," she said, when Nyssa answered the phone.
"Hello to you as well, my love," Nyssa's sarcastic voice came in, making Kara snort.
"Hey. So, why are you here? It isn't like you to tail me like this, you know I can take care of myself," Kara said, walking back to the Tower, when she heard something from afar, making her change direction.
"I thought you would get into some trouble while you are back in Starling," Nyssa said.
"Ra's asked me to deal with Al Sa Her's mess, that is what I am doing… by helping the citizens of the city get through this. From the shadows, of course. No one knows I am still alive, not even my family," Kara said, looking behind her, again.
"Couldn't help yourself, you had to play hero," Nyssa said, making her girlfriend smile, as Kara knew she was smirking behind the phone.
"You know me too well," Kara said. She looked in front of her and saw a mob of people, so she used the amount of people to use her powers to fade from the view of her followers. She couldn't afford to be caught, not now. "Look, I'll have to call you back, Nyss, someone is following me. If I don't call you back in an hour, go to the Clock Tower in the middle of the Glades, it's easy to find. The two others are still there, waiting for my orders. I also left my remote there, just in case. If I don't come back, take them – and the remote – and go back home. I'll find a way back," she added, knowing she wouldn't exactly make it out of this unscathed.
"Kara-" Nyssa said, but Kara didn't give her time to finish her sentence, as she ended the call. Making sure she was hidden, she used her speed to run to an alley, knowing that whoever was tracking her would see the blur and follow her there: she didn't want anyone getting hurt.
"Did anyone tell you that you all use similar tracking methods? It's like you all had the same search and tracking seminar," Kara said, when she was men and women in tactical gear block both sides of the alley, smirking. However, as she was going to take out her knives, a strong green light appeared and she felt her powers getting stripped away, a sharp pain all over her body. Kara groaned and glared at the soldiers, she knew exactly what was going on: they had prepared for this attack and brought kryptonite. Even with the pain, she was going to reach for her knives, but a voice made her stop.
"I wouldn't that if I were you," a woman said, smirking, walking in the lead of the soldiers.
"And why… is that?" Kara asked, weakly.
"Because, my dear Miss Danvers, I know everything about you and your special case," the woman said, still smirking even more devilishly.
"How… how do you know my name?" Kara asked, confused.
"Because, I am the one who sent Edward Fyers to Lian Yu. He is the reason I know about you, but you are the reason I kept tabs on you. The famous killer on part with Nyssa Al Ghul herself, trained by the Demon's Head himself, and his daughter, into all parts of the League. Once I found out you were in Starling after the Undertaking, I took measures to find you. You are an asset I could not let slip away, not after Fyers failed at everything he should have been doing."
"So what…? You are… going to… arrest me? Torture me…? Before… I could even… get your name?" Kara asked, smirking darkly. "I would… rather die… than have you catch me," and at that, Kara took out her knives, and threw them at soldiers around the woman. Before she could do anything else, however, she was shot in the neck, kryptonite liquid now flowing in her system, causing her veins to glow green. The assassin fell to the ground, unconscious.
"I would rather get you alive, but thank you for giving me a reason to arrest you, now," the woman said, approaching the limp body of one of the most dangerous beings on this planet.
"What should we do with her, director Waller?" one of the solders, who were in fact ARGUS agents, asked the woman.
"Take her back to the base, she will make a great addition to my new Task Force," the woman – Waller – said, her signature smirk still upon her face. She watched as the agents cuffed and chained the woman, for good measures, and dragged her to one of the vans, before attaching the chains to the bars in there. Waller walked to another van in satisfaction. Yes, this would be a good addition to her new Task Force, indeed.
When Nyssa did not get any answer from Kara in the next hour, she considered going to get her, but she knew Kara didn't want her to get caught up in any crap she had gotten herself into, so she did what she was told: she took the remote for Kara's powers, and ordered the two assassins to follow her back to Nanda Parbat. Promising herself to never look back or return to this city.
She just hoped her beloved would be fine, and she would get back to the League quickly. Little did she know, she would have to return to Starling soon enough, and break the vows she made to both herself and Kara…
THE END
TO BE CONTINUED… IN BONDS
A/N1: Yes, this is the last chapter of this story, hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I loved writing it for you guys! No worries, our favorite assassins will be back in Bonds, but not for a bit, because we are not there yet in the story, but we will see a glimpse of her before she officially comes back in the story. Her link to Sara's timeline in Canon is yet to be over, however, but for a while, it won't be like with Sara, it will be 100% me.
A/N2: I also wanted to excuse myself, because you will not see a Bonds chapter pop up for the next 2 months, not just because I am in vacation, but also because I don't have access to too much internet, and for the next chapter to be written I need to watch the Flash, which I can't do with weak internet. So I am sorry about that. However, you MIGHT see other stories be updated while I am in vacation, I make no promises, but it could happen.
A/N3: Another thing I wanted to say, is that I have a poll on my profile, please go check it out, I would really appreciate it! Thank you! And until next time on another story!
