No. Like self-defense training.

[From the Heir to the Demon herself, which probably should have raised some red flags, but to Mia she was just Aunt Nyssa, her mother's ex-sister wife.

Why is her father's love life so stupidly complicated?]

I mean, I knew my dad was a vigilante, but I didn't want that life. I believed a lot of the propaganda out there that vigilantes were what ruined Star City.

[If Mia is listening carefully, she might hear something like 'lucky' muttered under Nora's breath because she would've pretty much killed to know the truth about her dad her whole life instead of stumbling it into by accident because a rogue speedster tried to kill her for being in the wrong place at the wrong time]

What changed your mind then?

[Since you know, they're clearly in the Arrow cave and someone has been doing the superhero/vigilante thing for a while.]

[Yeah, well, Felicity kept her fair share of secrets too. She didn't clue her daughter in on the fact that she was still in the vigilante business until Mia happened to stumble over it in her own right.

Additionally, she doesn't consider herself lucky for having a hero for a father. She spent her entire life knowing that her father thought saving the world was more important than being with her. She isn't sure what's so lucky about that.

She pauses long enough to grab another slice of pizza picking at one of the mushrooms and dropping it into her mouth. Because she is the classiest.]

Actually ... doing it. Saving Star City and seeing that sometimes the legal thing isn't necessarily the right thing. I still ... don't agree with everything he did. But being on this team and working with the Canaries means me and William get to be together too. I think no matter what, Dad would want us to stick together.

[But Iris's lies were worse, let Nora have her angst please. It doesn't come naturally to her like it does to the Queens. It's been a very bad, no good year of feelings for her.

Nearly half of her pizza is gone listening to Mia's explanation, like she's trying to squash all feelings of jealousy by literally eating them away instead. There's no team back in Central City waiting for her. Her only real friend is dead and none of the Flash's old allies are still around. Except for her mom but that's not going to happen. Obviously she can pop over to the Arrow cave any time but it's not the same.]

Yeah. Totally. You guys are lucky. To have each other, I mean.

[She's not trying to take Nora's angst away from her, don't worry. Also, if Oliver hadn't gone to jail and been publicly out as the Green Arrow? Mia might not have known about her father either.

It's a wonder what a parent will tell you once they're old enough to google their dead parent.]

Yeah. I didn't at first, but ... I think he's growing on me. Kind of helps that he reminds me a lot of my mom. Which is weird because she wasn't actually his mom.
