《Canary After Lightning》Bonus: Mourning A Canary
Advertisement
I was tired, long day at work than stopping 2 armed robberies within the span of 13 minutes, hell, even Barry was tired. We retreated back to my apartment, relaxing on my bed. "I'm starving," He said, "Want big belly burger?"
"Yes," I smiled. He ran out, nearly blowing me out of the bed. "Jesus"
I sat up and went to take my badge off when my phone began ringing, Barry ran back in. "Hardly anyone there," He said, handing me the bag.
"Hello?" I said, answering my phone. I walked over to my dresser and started emptying my pockets.
"It's Sara," Oliver said. I paused, looking back at Barry who was snacking on a burger.
"What about her?" I asked. Barry looked up, giving me a confused expression.
"She's dead"
I dropped my phone, freezing the way I stood. Barry ran over, picking up the phone "Hello?" He asked. He was quiet for a few minutes, "I'll get her there in a minute"
"It... no... no, she can't" I panicked, Barry hung up and pulled me into his arms. "NO!"
"Shh, hey," He said, "It's going to be okay, shh"
I began sobbing into his chest, He held me close. We stayed like that for what felt like hours, sitting up and wiping my eyes. "I need to get to Starling," I said.
"Get ready, I'll run you there"

Barry set me down, I nearly collapsed seeing my sister lying on the table with 3 arrows in her. "Avery," Oliver said. I walked over to the table, tears beginning to sting my eyes.
I took her hand, already frozen, "Sara... oh my god, I'm so sorry" I sobbed, my knees hitting the floor.
"Who did this?" I heard Barry asked, they began whispering. Laurel held me as I cried, her tears hitting my neck.

"We have to tell Quentin" I heard Felicity say.
"No," I said, slowly standing up. Laurel helped me. "He can't know anything, not until we find who did this"
"Avery..." Dig said.
"You know how distraught he got when I died," I said.
"Why can't we just get her to Nanda Parbat and have them use the pit on her like we did with you" Roy suggests.
"I died on the trip to Nanda Parbat, It left a period where I was still warm, but she's already cold," I said, leaning on Laurel. "If we try bringing her back now, she'd come back 10x worse than I did"
"What can we do then? We can't keep her here" Dig stated.
"We bury her where she was supposed to be buried," Laurel said, wiping her eyes.
"We'll clean her up," I said. Felicity handed me some gloves and I put them on. Barry walked over.
"You don't have to do this," He said.
"Yes, I do," I said, "Can you- take some samples, it might help"
"Yea, I'll go grab my bag," he said, running out. I turned back to Sara.
"I'm going to go- I can't-" Felicity said, she and Roy rushed out.
"Avery" Oliver stepped forward.
"We find who did this, and we put 6 arrows in them," I said, beginning to pull an arrow out. I held it up. "And I already have the first suspect"
"Who?" Dig asked.
"The League"
~
Dig and Oliver had dug up the casket dad buried all those years ago. We put Sara in slowly, burying it back over. "Little bird," Oliver said. "I'll find who did this"
"I know," I said, "Cause if you don't... Eashiqa will come out to play"

Roy patted the last bit of dirt down and stood straight. "We'll fight back for you, Sara," Felicity said.
"Say hi to Robert and Tommy for me,"
~
We walked back to the van, Dig stopping me before we got in. "Lyla had the baby," He said.
"That's great, Dig," I said.
"Well she had her yesterday, but we just named her," He said. "Sara"
"Dig..." I smiled, tears stinging my eyes again. I wrapped my arms around him, he hugged me back.
We pulled from the hug and Laurel hugged him. "Hey" Barry walked over, "I already have something that came back from a test"
"What is it?" I asked.
"2 of the arrows were laced," He said, "Not a poison, but something that I've never seen before"
He handed me the paper and I looked at Oliver, "I know where to start"
He pulled out his bow and quiver, looking at me. "We stand with you Canary"

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest
Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We'd be no better than the demons! Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she'll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn't even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess' blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn't in any danger. Among other things. Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. This is a dark litRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps—with a few resistance skills under her nightie—she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did. I’ve ticked all the content warning checkboxes for this one. There’s no explicit sexual content, but there are enough references to justify the warning. Profanity happens rarely, but Katie isn’t averse to swearing when she gets particularly angry. As for gore/trauma, it doesn’t get much worse than the first few chapters, but there will be occasional chapters that have extra content warnings.

The Apocalypse Show - Dungeon Core
There were lot's of ways that people had predicted that the world would end. A few even had it partially correct. But how could they have predicted it would be a combination of the system apocalypse and aliens. Specifially aliens that wanted to create the equivlant of a TV show about the system apocalypse on Earth. Arthur woke up with a headache and the option to create a character. Most people would have gone with the safe choice and selected to stay a human. Arthur suspected that wouldn't be the safe choice in his new world. Instead he decided to see what other races were available. Eventually he decided to become a dungeon core instead. Of course being a dungeon core comes with a number of challenges. Starting with the fact that he was a giant crystal instead of having a body, managing a bunch of unintelligent minons, and most importantly the reaction of his human neighbors when they discover him. If he can overcome these challenges he may be able to enjoy some of the benefits. Such as the fact that dungeon cores are immortal and he would eventually have an entire army of dungeon minions that would obey any of his commands. Perhaps even find some female companions that are looking for a safe place during the apocalypse. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, nudity, and sexual content. This isn't something you would find in the young adult section. This does not mean that this would be rated NC-17 or X, if that is what you are looking for try lewd dungeon.
