Sara Lance closed the door to her apartment, leaned back against it and sighed in relief. She'd been officially 'off the clock' for about half an hour, but it didn't feel like she could truly relax unless she was in the presence of her girlfriend Felicity Smoak, or at least something that reminded her of her cute girlfriend.
Their home was Sara's favourite reminder, as it was where they had officially become a couple, although the training matts she had first seduced/fucked Felicity on was a close second, Sara briefly grinning at the memory before she suddenly became aware of the fact she wasn't alone.
Her training prevented her from giving away that she knew about the intrusion, but inwardly she cursed. She had been on her feet for the better part of eight hours, and she had been so looking forward to just crashing on the couch before heading out to join the rest of Team Arrow for their usual nightly activities.
She'd definitely rather avoid a physical confrontation that she might be too exhausted to win, but it was very possible that she might not have a choice.
Fortunately she was a Master Assassin, and the vigilante known as the Canary, and if someone was trying to rob her and her beloved Felicity then Sara pitted them. And if it was someone more dangerous, well, Sara still pitted them, because no one broke into her home.
Well, almost no one, Sara breathing a sigh of relief as a familiar figure stepped out of the shadows, "Nyssa, what the hell?"
Nyssa smirked softly, "I didn't mean to startle you."
"You didn't." Sara huffed, crossing her arms, "I just... I just can't believe that after all this time you refuse to do me the courtesy of knocking, just to look cool."
Lowering her head Nyssa softly apologised, "I am sorry. I, I wasn't sure you'd see me."
"Do you really believe that?" Sara asked, uncrossing her arms and stepping closer.
"No." Nyssa admitted, then with a chuckle added, "I guess old habits die hard."
There was a long pause and then Sara asked, "What are you doing here Nyssa?"
There was another pause, then Nyssa stepped closer and said, "I have a proposal for you."
Sara raised an eyebrow, "Really? What is it?"
Yet another pause, this one the longest yet, and then Nyssa finally spoke, "First I wanted to congratulate you. I did not think it was possible to find someone worthy of you, but the more I see of Miss Smoak the clearer it becomes that she may be the only one worthy of you. I see now why you speak of her so highly."
Sara was taken aback by this. Nyssa al Ghul was nowhere near as egotistical as her father, or many other people she had met, but she normally had a healthy swagger about her which was half earned and half a mask to hide any doubt she may have.
For her to lower that mask and be vulnerable was rare, Sara only bearing witness to it a few times in the past, and that was mostly during an after sex glow. Which meant whatever Nyssa wanted she was willing to do anything to get it, and while Sara had an idea what that might be she wasn't sure how this was meant to achieve it.
"Thanks, I guess." Sara murmured, "But why-"
"It was hard for me... letting you go." Nyssa interrupted, "It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Watch you with first Queen, and then her. Fall in love with her, and she with you. I, I hoped to win you back with a little threesome, but it only showed me you are truly happy. And that's what I want. Above all else I want you to be happy. So I want you to know, whatever happens Felicity has nothing to fear from me. I would never hurt your beloved, because it would be like hurting you, and I cannot bear the thought of that. But... I've been thinking about it a lot, and maybe I don't have to lose you to her. Maybe there's another way."
Sara frowned, and as Nyssa gave her the opportunity to speak she asked, "What do you mean?"
There was another pause, then Nyssa stepped closer and softly pleaded, "Promise me... promise me you'll hear me out?"
Taking her ex-lover's hand Sara, softly smiled, "Always."
Nyssa returned the smile and then after another pause began, "I remember when I first brought you to Nanda Parbat. You were fascinated by our ways, customs... the things we did to unwind. There was one thing in particular that fascinated you. Do you remember what it was?"
Sara smirked briefly, "Your Daddy's love for threesomes?"
"Yes, that." Nyssa said awkwardly, "Since last we met I have been researching the League's history and found that it was not uncommon for the reigning Ra's al Ghul to marry as many women, or even men, as they wanted. One Ra's had as many as five wives at the same time, and a sizeable Harem. Of course I never imagined wanting to enter into such an arrangement myself... until now."
"Wait, you want me and Felicity to marry you?" Sara exclaimed, letting go of Nyssa's hand.
"In a manner of speaking." Nyssa smiled softly, quickly adding, "Although I am not proposing marriage."
There was yet another long silence and then Sara softly murmured, "So what... you want to date me AND Felicity?"
Nyssa lowered her head, "I know it sounds absurd, but I love you. And I think you still love me, while you clearly love Felicity. And Felicity clearly loves you, and I know I could love Felicity, because I'm halfway there already. Besides, I never recall you cumming quite as hard as when myself and Felicity DP'ed you, and I believe we could all achieve similar ecstasy if we took this... unconventional step and became a couple. Or whatever this would be."
There was a long pause and then Sara mumbled, "Felicity would never go for that."
"Do you truly believe that?" Nyssa raised an eyebrow, "Because the girl has proven to me that she would do anything for you, and I think you know that."
More silence and then Sara said, "Maybe, but I didn't leave you for her. We broke up. Not because we stopped loving each other, but because I could never make you choose between me and the League. It's all you know, and I get that, but I don't think Felicity ever has, and if we were all... together, I don't think she could look the other way."
