the devil in star city (laurel/nyssa; e) - part v
Ships: Laurel/Nyssa
Summary: “My name is Laurel Lance. When I was eight years old I was in a car accident that left me without sight. But in the process, my other senses were heightened.
By day, I am a defence attorney, ready to fight for justice in the courtroom on behalf of those who the law has failed. By night, I am someone else. I am something else.
I am Daredevil.”
A/N: Okay! So again, in terms of chronology this is going back and forth quite a bit, and this fic is not written linearly deliberately. This takes place a few weeks after Laurel and Nyssa have their first time together. For those who watch Daredevil, this is the equivalent of the Mattelektra scene that takes place in the boxing ring.
Uhhh, so on that note, this is another chapter that very much earns the E rating. I would say don't read this at work, but considering I posted this while at work, maybe i'm not the best judge of that, lol.
Laurel was in the middle of her closing speech when she heard her.
She tried to soldier on, keep going even though her train of thought was lost now she could smell the warmth of Nyssa's perfume from where she stood. Laurel could hear her slip inside the room, knowing Nyssa was carrying with her two large strawberry milkshakes.
And really it was fine - there was a reason she was a mere law student and not a lawyer yet. But in that moment, caught off guard and tripping over words that she had gone over smoothly before, she knew then that she had lost, well before the professor presiding as mock judge for the mock trial decided the same some fifteen minutes later.
Afterwards, when the students were leaving the lecture theatre, Nyssa stayed behind, waiting for Laurel, who greeted her girlfriend with a kiss.
"Hey, you," Laurel said.
