Chapter Text
" كيف حالك , أختي جميلة ؟"
“Whoah” the bottle-blonde flinched in the doorway in momentary terror. Turning around to face the interior of her living room, Felicity Smoak narrowed her eyes at her intruder. Closing the door behind her, she rushed around the small interior of her townhouse closing curtains and ignoring her uninvited guest.
Once done, the genius returned to her living room, her steps falling in a determined gait. Crossing her arms under her chest she regarded the exotic, copper skinned woman in front of her with narrowed calculating eyes.
Finally breaking the silence she asked, “Does he know?” her voice taking a soft tone betraying the hard expression on her beautiful face.
“Does who know?”
“You know exactly who I am talking about?”
Sighing the brunette answered, “When you…left I promised you that he would not learn of the nature and reason for your departure from me…I still honor that promise جميلة أختي”
“That doesn’t mean that you haven’t told him where I am…and I know you wouldn’t ever betray my trust like that but I…just have to be sure.” Sighing softly she looked up into the soft brown eyes that hid the true nature of the woman standing before her. Only the closest to her heart could incite such softness in her.
She had wondered when she would be receiving a visit from the tall woman. To say that she had been relieved when she never visited after the Slade debacle would be an understatement on her part. But at the same time she had felt oddly disappointed. She surmised it could be because of the bond that they had once shared that obviously lacked now.
“I thought you had left.”
“I had. But as soon as we left port we were relayed a message asking our immediate return. طائر كناري is the reason I am back. She stayed to look after her father and support her sister. I have come to take her back now.”
“I just came from visiting him at the station. He seems to be adjusting well to his new position.”
“So I heard.”
“Why are you really here?”
“I wanted to speak with you that day but you had already left, on your way to China. I could not stay back without a proper reason then. So now that I do have an opportunity, I came to ask you to come back with me, to our home. أ العزيزة ختي للمنزل أعود ”
“I can’t. You know that. I just can’t”
“Of course you can. He does not say but he misses you just as much as I do. He never looked for you because he knew you would not want that. He has been waiting for you to come back on your own شقيقة...just like before.”
“But nothing is like before. I was naive then. I wanted a family and I got one but I didn’t realize the price I would have to pay for it. And now I do. I do and I can’t pay that price. You know I can’t. You were there, you saw how I struggled, how I tried but I do not belong in the same world as yours. My world is here…”
“You belong with us عزيزتي”
“No I don’t. I like what I do here. I like helping people and saving them.”
“How is what you do any different from what we do?”
“It is. It is in so many ways.”
“Give me one.”
“You know it as well as I do. You were here when we defeated Slade. We don’t kill Nyssa. I can’t take the killing or the blood.”
“We do what we do for the good of this world, and yet you refuse to see that!”
“Nyssa, العزيزة أختي, what I see is so much more different than what you do. I don’t see saviors but killers. He was ready to level a whole city with innocent people in it in the name of justice and إنقاذ (salvation/saving).”
“Let’s not argue about what we will never agree on then,” the brunette huffed irritated. “Tell me عزيزتي, why not fight alongside your friends when you can?”
“It’s actually quite simple…”
“I am waiting...” Nyssa interrupted, raising an eyebrow and tapping her foot impatiently.
Nyssa watched as the short blonde in heels hardened her stance and straightened her back. With a raised chin and a determined glint in her eyes she stated, “Because here, I am Felicity Smoak, genius and IT extraordinaire, not Talia Al Ghul, شيطانابنة (Daughter of the Demon).”
