Laurel

Kara has been blowing up since I left the Danvers house. Slade called me. Oliver sent me a "professional" email. Alex even tried me to visit my office. 

Kara:
Laurel, talk to me!

Kara:
LAUREL!

Kara:
DINAH LAUREL LANCE

Kara:
You are the worst!!! 😑

I watched as her messages passed by, trying my best not laugh at some of the stuff she was saying to try and grab my attention. 

I was going through a case file we had just closed to make sure I got everything right. My co-workers were rushing around cause we were getting a visit from the Mayor today. My Boss was walking around inspecting everything.

"Lance, how's the People Vs Darhk going?" He stepped into my office.

"Very boring sir, he's refusing to show up in court" I replied.

"You better win this case, Lance, or you minus well pack your bag and move back in with daddy" He threatened. I watched as he strutted out of my office and started barking orders at other workers.

Kara:
Dinah!

Laurel:
Aren't you at work?

Kara:
Yes, it's a slow day, nothing major happening

Laurel:
The Mayor is going to visit us here at the DA's office

Kara:
I know, some other reporter from a few desks over got the job  😠

Laurel:
Why don't you leave early and spend some time with Oliver and William before they leave for Star again

Kara:
I would but Cat wants me to write a small review on the Presidents 200 days in office

Laurel:
I thought they only celebrated the first 100

Kara:
Oh they do, but Cat believes that's not long enough to judge their work

Laurel:
Ah...

Kara:
Anyways, now that I have your attention, well you tell me what happened yesterday?

I locked my phone and placed it next to my laptop. What did happen yesterday? It seemed a bit blurry to be honest, I did have a little too much alcohol. I think I admitted to having feelings for Malcolm and telling him he could fight for me, but I can't precisely remember.

Laurel:
I have no idea, tbh. Can we talk when I'm done with work?

Kara:
Sure

I took a deep breath and closed the case file, tucking it into my filing cabinet. I didn't look away from the drawer when a knock came. "I know, I know, the mayor is going to visit, I'm prepared" I rolled my eyes.

"Of course your prepared, Lance" I could hear Malcolm's smirk as I slowly looked back to him.

"Merlyn, what are you doing here?" I sat up and closed my drawer.

"Thought I'd come by quickly, I'm flying back to Star city in an hour" He crossed his arms. 

"Leaving so soon?" I hid my slight discomfort.

"Yea, companies to run, ya know?" He said,  "I thought I should also warn you"

"Warn me?" I questioned.

"You never challenge a Merlyn to a game like this" He stood straight, pulling out a ticket and placing it on the corner of my desk. "Come to Star soon, we sure miss you"

I picked up the ticket, It wasn't for any airlines, it was for one of his private jets on any day I wanted. "What are you trying to do, bribe me to date you?" I asked. 

"No, I'm just showing you the lengths that I will go" He turned and started making his way out. "See you soon, Lance"

I stared at the ticket, thinking over everything. Good god, what have I gotten myself into?
