Sara was starting to get worried, since she thought that Alex would've come home to Star City by now, so she decided to call her.

"Hello?" Alex's voice said from the other end of the call.

"Hey, Alex." Sara said.

"Sara, I knew was forgetting to do something. I'm sorry I haven't called you before now, things have been kind of crazy out here in National City." Alex said.

"Yeah, I thought you'd be coming home by now." Sara said.

"Actually Sara, I got promoted." Alex said, much to Sara's surprise.

"Why is this the first I'm hearing of it?" Sara asked.

"Sorry, but things have been moving so quickly, I forgot." Alex said and Sara could hear the embarrassment in her voice.

"It's fine, but what happened?" Sara asked.

"J'onn decided to stay on Mars to help the White Martian Resistance, so I got promoted to the Director of the DEO. But that means I have to move to National City, since that's where the current base is." Alex said.

"Really." Sara said.

"Yeah, that's the other reason I didn't tell you besides forgetting to do it. I know how much you love Star City and Team Arrow." Alex said.

"And both can do just fine without me, since both managed just fine before I back. Alex, I thought I made it clear that you're the one I care the most about. I love you and if that means I have to tell Oliver I'm leaving the team, so be it. Besides, Star City doesn't need two canaries. Maybe I can work with Wally in National City." Sara said.

"You're sure you're okay with this?" Alex asked.

"I promise you I am. Just promise me one thing." Sara said.

"Name it." Alex said.

"Don't start looking for any real homes until I get out there." Sara said.

"Don't worry, right now J'onn said I could crash at his apartment, but once you get here, we can start looking for our own place. By the way, when will you get here?" Alex asked.

"Don't worry, I'll be there once Ollie and Laurel get back tomorrow, since I still need to tell them that I'm leaving." Sara assured her.

"I can wait till then." Alex said and Sara smiled.

"I love you." Sara said.

"I love you to." Alex said as she hung up and Sara silently took a deep breath as she hoped that Oliver and Laurel took her news as well as she hoped they would.

The next day, after Oliver and Laurel had finished getting unpacked from their honeymoon, Oliver called a team meeting in the bunker so they could be caught up on everything they missed.

"Welcome home." Thea said as she hugged her sister-in-law.

"Thank you Thea. It is so good to be home. Europe was fun, but I think I've had enough relaxing for right now." Laurel said as Thea then hugged her brother and Sara hugged her sister.

"So, what exactly did we miss while we were gone?" Oliver asked.

"You missed us stopping Daniel Brickwell from taking over Glades." Roy said.

"Daniel Brickwell." Oliver said, surprised and a bit disappointed he'd missed that douchebag, since he still remembered that Brick had him jumped in prison.

"Yeah and we actually called in Tommy for some backup on that." Sara said.

"Why?" Laurel asked.

"Because Brick killed his mother." Sara said and Oliver had to work hard to keep the fact that he already knew that off his face.

"So, in a way, Brick set everything in motion." Oliver said and Sara nodded.

"I actually had to talk Tommy down from killing Brick, since if he did, he'd be no better than his father." Sara said.

"Good work." Oliver said.

"Now, I actually have an announcement to make." Sara said.

"And that is?" Oliver asked.

"I'm leaving the team." Sara said.

"What, why?" Laurel asked.

"Because Alex got promoted and transferred to National City as the new director of the DEO, J'onn resigned and as much as I love being a part of team Arrow, I don't want to live in a different city than her." Sara said.

"You sure about this?" Oliver asked.

"I am. And it's not like the city will be defenseless. It'll still have a canary." Sara said as she smiled at her sister, who smiled at her to.

"Promise, you'll keep in touch?" Laurel asked.

"Promise and if you guys need me, I'll be here." Sara assured them.

"As long as you're sure this is the right decision for you Sara, then I support you. All the way." Oliver said, since unlike the last time Sara had left the team, this time she was doing it for love, something Oliver could completely understand.

"Thank you Ollie." Sara said with a smile as Laurel came over and hugged her.

"Remember Sara. Star City will always be the home of White Canary." Laurel said.

"Star City will be just fine with Black Canary. But National city, something tells me they need more than one hero defending it." Sara said with a smile as she then hugged Oliver before moving to grab her suit and walked out.
