Laurel

"Dinah Laurel Lance!" I jumped, nearly dropping my cup of coffee. "Are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine" I sighed, placing my cup down and looking up to see the girls were giving me questioning looks. "I didn't get enough sleep last night"

"Didn't you have that date last night?" Thea asked, smirking.

"Yes, but I canceled" I stated, "Before you guys freak out, its because there was a late night case I got called in for"

"Wasn't there a heist broken up last night?" Alex asked.

"How'd you know? It wasn't released to the press yet" I raised my eyebrow, "Don't you even think about it, Kara"

I saw her slowly put her notepad back into her bag. "Come on, I need an exclusive" She begged, "It's my birthday tomorrow"

"I already bought your present, and even if I were to give you an exclusive, I would lose my job" I shrugged. 

"I found out about the heist from... a few people" Alex quickly took a sip of her coffee.

"You talked to Maggie?" Kara asked, putting her sticky bun down. Oh, she meant business. "I thought you said you were done with her"

"I am, she came over to get a box she left" Alex played with her cup. "She was called to the heist so her box was left on the counter... again" 

"Next time she wants to pick up a box, call us, we'll come over and give it to her ourselves" I stated.

"Yea, you're just torturing yourself by letting her be with you alone" Kara sighed.

"I am fine!" Alex exclaimed, "Oh guys, stop talking about Maggie, the guys are coming"

We all looked back to see Alex and Kara's adopted brother Slade was laughing with Oliver and Malcolm, nearly tripping over a table before arriving us. "Hey ladies, hows breakfast?" Slade sat down, grabbing Kara's coffee and taking a sip, "God, I forgot how much sugar you really take"

"Like you don't take 5 different creamers in your coffee" Kara puffed. 

"You excited for your birthday tomorrow, Almas?" Malcolm asked.

"Yes, I love cake" Kara smiled.

"Totally didn't see that coming" Thea giggled, "Can someone order me another crepe, I'm starving"

"I well, anyone else want something?" Malcolm asked.

"Some more sticky buns?" Kara flashed a big smile, Malcolm chuckled before turning to order.

I started spacing off again, drowning out the conversation, returning to my own thoughts.
