Two Broken Siblings

[redarrowqueen]

(Plotlocked to Oliver Queen and eventually Felicity Smoak, emotional fallout from the Halloween plot and spoilers possible for late season 3 of Arrow to name several)

Thea had been keeping to herself outside of classes and training. Thankfully since that first run-in there has been no return of Ra's Al Ghul but she had been hit by memory flashes of Sara Lance falling off that ledge several times. Add in her being stabbed and it was not a pretty sight mentally, so she had been doing something she had done before when she was frayed mentally and emotionally.

She did not bother actually eating.

Oh sure she was eating but not nearly enough for someone in recovery. This time around she was picking at fries, something she would usually be happily wolfing down. Another sign she was not in a great place, the lack of a bottle of BBQ sauce. Her weakness for the stuff a source of humor among her friends but now it was missing.

The other major clue was in her eyes. She had not exactly slept since the most recent round of nightmares and memory flashes had hit and it showed in more ways than one. She also knew if this was hitting her it had to be hitting Oliver even harder: especially after the talk they had about Sara, Tommy and their mother during the party.

"Time to shove back my pain and be the worry wart little sister." she decided.

Planet? PLANET!!!! [open]

[Backdated to when the Enterprise first lands on Folnar III. If anyone is interested in doing the Darmok plot with Minoru, just say so.]

He felt it the moment the Enterprise entered orbit around the planet. It was faint, but having been devoid of it for so long, it was instantly recognizable. He could feel the seal pulling traces of natural energy. When the ship landed, it was like opening the floodgates, a steady replenishing of what he'd used since he came on board. (He was nearly running on empty too, so his gratitude was tenfold.)

He wasted no time getting off that ship and onto solid ground. The feeling of rocks and gravel beneath bare feet, the warmth of the sun on his face, the horizon in the distance begging him to explore it... This was what life was made of!
