"I have never seen anyone eat as much as you." Laurel laughed as she watched Quinn eagerly shuffle her food into her mouth.
Quinn raised an eyebrow at her. "You really need to see Kara eat, that woman can put anything away."
Laurel laughed.
"Seriously once Alex and I were watching Stranger Things and we ordered a pizza, I swear she has super smell because the second it arrives I open the door to find the delivery guy there with the pizza and Kara right next to him, looking at that pizza like it was her one true love." Quinn smiled despite herself, she missed Alex. " Alex and I had one slice each, Kara ate the whole thing and had the nerve to ask why we didn't order more. "
"This is another reason why you need to choose me, Quinn, I don't have any sisters who will eat all your food." Laurel smiled extending her arm forward to cover Quinn's.
Dark blue eyes watched the two hands for a time, her face a mask.
"You need to move on." She purred, moving her thumb gently over her hand.
Quinn felt the inner battle occurring inside her, the old self who would gladly jump into bed and fuck her, and the new Quinn who had found something she had craved for so long.
But they lied.
She didn't know what she should do.
"I've never lied to you Quinn you know everything and most of it is bleak."
Still, she didn't reply.
Laurel stepped up her game running her bare foot against her leg slowly, and gently.
"Come on let me help you forget them, what they did to you, let me make it all go away."
Quinn could feel herself breaking down.
Maybe if she did it she would forget about them, she wasn't going to forgive them and she wasn't going to go back to them, maybe this was what she should do.
Suddenly she leaped to her feet, sending her chair shuffling backwards. "Come on!"
She grabbed her arm and pulled her up and towards the door of the restaurant managing to avoid a busboy carrying a tray of water.

"So what is the plan?" Alex asked.
"I really don't think you should be taking plan advice from Sara Lance." Kara shrugged from where she stood by the fridge watching the two women sat closely on the sofa, too closely for her liking.
"Shut up Kara, come on Sara tell me."
"Well with anyone else I would say it would be easy but Quinn is complex, she is in even more of a mess she just found out the demon who murdered her mother is also her father."
"Do we even know this for a fact, has a DNA test been done?" Kara said thoughtfully having swallowed a mouthful of ice cream.
"She is right how can we know for certain?" Alex agreed.
Sara shook her head, "It's a fact her powers the ring and Vandal Savage is too smart to have let a woman make him think a child was his when it wasn't."
"So what should we do? the older versions of us really should have told us what they did."
"Yeah well, they didn't probably because of a reason."
"Is Lena really with this Ava woman in ten years?" Kara asked sadly.
"Yes she is, and very happy by all accounts." Sara smiled, Alex looked over to her sister, she had been acting a little strange since she had found out about Ava Sharpe, she visibly cringed at the word Leva, and Quinn used it a lot.
"Never mind about Leva," Alex said angrily, I want Quinn back!
"Leva isn't a word!" Kara spat back.
"Yeah it is now, Quinn coined it." Sara smiled, She is so cute sometimes, I love it when she gets so passionate about something.
"Besides can you remember the last time Lena looked this happy?" Alex looked at her sister.
"Sure I think it was the last time she straightened her hair," Kara grumbled under her breath.
"Tough luck Kara, you snooze you lose." Sara smiled. "back to our plan."
"Alex I think you should go back to just one girlfriend, these two are way too much trouble."
Sara and Alex gaped at her.
"Besides is it not weird having to share Quinn with her?"
"We don't share Quinn, she is not a timeshare scheme Kara." Alex frowned.
"Yeah, you are being really judgemental and prudish Kara," Sara said.
"Just telling it as everyone else sees it."
"Well you know maybe everyone should keep their noses out, these are the same people who would look down on me because I am a Lesbian," Alex said angrily.
"Never listen to society Kara it only has one song and it gets really old very quickly," Sara said firmly feeling solidarity with Alex.
Kara rolled her eyes but felt her face flame red.
"Now back to the plan."

The advantage of having the power of teleportation was you could get anywhere at any time, so getting to her apartment quickly was as easy as blinking for Quinn.
Neither noticed that the scenery around them had changed, that the wet, cold alleyway had turned into her disused apartment, they never broke their kiss, their lips firmly sealed together in a frenzied harsh duel that hurt as much as it inflamed.
Hands scurried and scattered ripping and pulling at clothes that were annoyingly in the way.
Finally, when the need to breath became a necessity they broke apart, both breathing harshly lips full and kiss stained.
Laurel smirked. "Still got it, baby."
"Shut up."
Pulling her roughly into her arms Quinn push her forcefully onto the sofa draping herself over her like a vampire in need of sentience.
Greedily running her lips along the delicious curve of her neck until she met her shell-like ear, biting down gently on the lobe and she ran her tongue along the brim, Laurel moaned loudly pulling her closer to her.
A smile flashed in her mind. Alex.
Torn she pulled away from the thought from her mind, continuing her journey back to Laurel's lips biting down on the bottom lip eliciting another groan from the woman, as her hand moved down opening the button of her pants and slipping her hand inside.
Another face appeared in her mind, Sara.
She felt dangerously spilled her body here with Laurel but her mind and heart with Alex and Sara.
Hoping they would go away, that their ghostly presence would disappear from her mind she persisted.
They came again, both appearing before her laughing and smiling, she felt a stray tear fall down her cheek, unable to continue she pulled herself out of Laurel's grasp sitting up away from her.
"What is wrong?" She asked hoarsely,
"I can't do it."
Laurel sat up, bringing herself closer to her. "It's okay Quinn." Rubbing her back softly.
"No, it's not I can't get them out of my head."
"Let me help you."
"It doesn't work, hell nothing works."
"Time will help you."
Quinn scoffed standing up righting her clothes. "Yeah like the time I didn't use to get over Sara, when I saw her with other people and still like a moron pinned after her like a fool, then when she died most people move on but I just felt so robbed, so used, we'd had so little time together it had seemed like forever I had watched her with others and I had five seconds with her."
Laurel frowned, wondering why of everyone in the world it was Quinn who she could see as human and care about her when she was hurt.
Damn it, Quinn, why can't you love me like I love you, we'd be so happy together.
"Please Laurel I don't need someone to shag, I want a friend," Quinn said sadly.
"I can't lie to you Quinn I wish you would look at me the way I see you look at them, but I hate seeing you like this, my one unselfish act in my life will be this."
Laurel rose from the couch and pulled her into a comforting hug as Quinn let her tears fall.
"I don't know what you see in me Quinn, but I'll always be here if you need me."
