The Chase (Laurel/Nyssa; G)

Ships: Laurel/Nyssa, past Nyssa/Sara

Summary: “My name is Dinah Laurel Lance. For five years I was stranded on an island with only one goal: survive. Now I will fulfil my mother’s dying wish: take up her mantle as the Green Arrow, and bring down those who are poisoning my city. But to do this, I must become someone else. I must become something else.”

A/N: So I had a great response to an AU gifset I made for Laurel Lance Week, which features her on earth-7 as the Green Arrow. It inspired me to write a fic featuring earth-7!Dinah. Her story parallels Oliver’s in a lot of ways, and that’s wholly intentional. The suicide warning is just for the way Dinah Drake dies, which is the same way Robert Queen dies on the show.
