Lauryssa

Lauryssa is the femslash ship between Nyssa al Ghul and Laurel Lance from the Arrow fandom.

Season 3
THE MAGICIAN

Laurel is at Sara's grave, when she senses someone behind her and turns to see Nyssa. Nyssa ignores her and step towards Sara's grave, and speaks to Sara for a moment before turning back to Laurel. She gives Laurel her condolences, but Laurel doesn't want them. As Nyssa walks away, Laurel says that Sara died with arrows in her, and thinks that wouldn't have happened if she hadn't met Nyssa. She accuses Nyssa of showing Sara darkness, but Nyssa says that it was already inside of her. When she found Sara near death, she protected her and lover her with her soul. She looks to the jacket Sara gave Laurel and tells her that she gave it Sara. She doesn't see Laurel as fit to wear it and walks away.

Laurel is talking to Quentin when he notices Nyssa outside of his office. Laurel says she'll be back and goes to confront her being there. Nyssa tells her that Oliver told her about Laurel being involved with finding Sara's killer, and then realizes that Quentin doesn't know about Sara. Laurel says he wouldn't be able to take it with his heart condition, but Nyssa says that he has the right to avenge Sara. Laurel says that it's none of her business, but Nyssa says that everything good about her life was Sara, it is every bit her business. Laurel asks what Sara would say if she was here now, when Quentin walks in. He asks if Sara is in town, and Laurel gives Nyssa a look, before Nyssa silently agrees not to tell him about her death. He gives Laurel the address Sara wanted, and Nyssa leaves.

As Laurel angrily leaves the bunker into the alley, Nyssa calls for her. Laurel says that she found out Merlyn's alive and killed Sara, Nyssa should understand why she doesn't want to talk. Nyssa says she does, since she loved Sara too, and promises to find Merlyn. Laurel says that they already did, and Oliver should have killed him, which Nyssa agrees with. Laurel knows that if Oliver finds Merlyn, then he'll let him leave, and needs Nyssa to get there first and do whatever it takes. Nyssa nods and watches Laurel leave.

Laurel is training at the gym, when Nyssa comes up to her. Laurel thought that Nyssa was going back to Nanda Parhbat, but Nyssa wanted to say goodbye first. She intends to make good on her promise, and Laurel says that it kills her that Sara's killer is still out there, which pains Nyssa also. She notices that Laurel has been training, and wearing the jacket. Laurel tells her not to tell her that she's not strong or tough enough, but Nyssa doesn't. She would have at the cemetery, but Laurel reminded her that the strongest metal is forged in the hottest fire. Laurel asks what that means, but Nyssa just smiles telling her to turn her hips, since its where the the power comes from and walks away.
