Kara was distracted at work as she had been for a while but luckily for her, it was almost time to go home. Kara's life had been a struggle ever since Mon-El came back. To see that the man that she loved had moved on was heart breaking for her. And then, Reign had demolished her and it had affected her confidence. Plus, there was Barry's wedding. Kara cared about Barry but to be at a wedding when she felt the way she did wasn't ideal but she and her sister went nonetheless. And that is when everything went to shit with the Nazi's from Earth-X. It was horrifying to see that her doppelganger from Earth-X was evil.
To make things even worse, when she couldn't find love, her evil doppelganger could. With Oliver Queen. It was so weird for her to see. Kara may have said 'ew gross' to Oliver when Dark Arrow said that Overgirl was his wife but she didn't mean it like that. It was just strange that two people that bad could manage to actually feel love for one another whilst she was alone.
Kara shook her head as she thought about the Emerald Archer. He's definitely not gross. Absolutely not. Kara noticed straightaway how handsome he was when they first met and it added to her nervousness around him. He was an intimidating figure as well as being handsome. Oliver was still a mystery to her and it was a mystery she had full intention of unravelling. Oliver was one of Barry's closest friends and Barry was one of Kara's closest friends, hence she wanted to know Oliver better. They had become better friends after their latest team up but there was still so much she didn't know about him.
Without realising it, Kara's afternoon had flown by as her mind was elsewhere. And for once I didn't think about Mon-El or Reign. 'Huh' Kara whispered to herself. Her thoughts were so caught up with the Emerald Archer from Earth-1, that she didn't feel sad like she had been feeling for the past few months. A small smile graced her face as she left to go home.
It had been months since Barry and Iris' wedding and all the drama that came with it. It was crazy to think about for Oliver that the Earth-X version of him was the Führer. He had promised William that he wouldn't be the Green Arrow anymore but circumstances changed things and he had to put on the suit again. And if I'm honest, I missed it.
William was away for a while as he was staying with his mother's family. He had been missing Central City and so Oliver decided to take him there and he could stay with some of his family. What Oliver hadn't told him yet was that it was safer for William to be away from him. He couldn't let his son get caught up in anything because Oliver was the Green Arrow. People could target him because he was the mayor, let alone because he's the Green Arrow. It had happened too many times before and he wasn't going to let his son get caught up in his own darkness. It hurt Oliver but William's safety was more important than what made Oliver happy. Oliver had gotten some time off as mayor, leaving Quentin and Thea in charge of running the city. His time as mayor was coming to an end and even if he ran for it again, Oliver doubted he would win. Plus, he didn't need the money as he still had millions from his trust fund.
As Oliver waited for Cisco and Barry to arrive at Star Labs, his attention went back to what had been plaguing his thoughts for months. Oliver had been thinking on the words Barry had told him all those months ago after they had defeated the Nazi's from Earth-X.
A Couple of Months Ago:
Oliver entered a bar and ordered himself some drinks. Once he spotted Barry, he walked over and sat down with the drinks and Barry began explaining why he had asked Oliver to come here.
'Did you notice anything wrong with Kara?' Barry asked Oliver.
'No, she seemed her happy and cheerful self' Oliver said before actually thinking a little bit harder about it. 'Actually, now that you mention it, when we found out our Earth-X counterparts were married, she said gross. Women don't call me gross' Oliver said with a smirk, rolling back the years when that smirk would ensure he slept with a beautiful woman that night.
'Really? That's what you find odd?' Barry said after rolling his eyes at Oliver.
'Yes, considering that last year your own wife said that I just got so much hotter when she found out who I really was'.
'Wait you heard that?' Barry asked with a frown on his face.
'I spent 5 years becoming who I am today, Barry. Things such as my hearing were enhanced during that time'. Oliver was admittedly slightly tipsy before he even arrived at the bar. Ever since Lian Yu blew up, he hadn't had a moment to just let go but that opportunity arose after they beat the Earth-X Nazi's.
'Ok whatever. The thing with Kara is that she's suffered so much. An alien that arrived in a new world and she was lost and scared'.
'You've seen Kara, she's strong' Oliver said, interrupting him before downing his glass of whiskey.
'That's the thing. She may appear strong but deep down, I know she's vulnerable. Her ex just came back and for her it was 7 months but for him it was 7 years'. Oliver got more interested in Barry's story as he knew what it felt like to return home to his loved one's years later. 'Apparently Mon-El is married. She just found that out before coming to my wedding'.
Oliver respected Kara even if their relationship was a bit rocky. He did after the Dominator invasion but she had real inner strength to come to a wedding after being left heart-broken. 'Like I said, she's strong but why are you telling me all of this?'
'You can help her. I know you can' Barry implored. 'You helped me when I first began all of this. I know you can help Kara with what she's going through'.
Oliver sighed. He didn't know if he could help Kara as her circumstances were so different to his own but he unknowingly didn't realise that in actuality, they were quite similar. But he knew he wanted to help her because he did in fact see the sadness radiating off the usually happy Kara.
'She thinks she's alone. She thinks her life should only be about Supergirl, that her being happy isn't important' Barry said and then stood up. He patted Oliver's shoulder and whispered 'Please' before leaving the bar.
Oliver sat there and had quickly sobered up due to Barry's words. He had heard those words before but from his own mouth and he remembered them like it was yesterday.
6 Years Ago
'I was wrong to think I could have it both ways. That I could do what I do and still have a normal life with anyone' Oliver said grimly to Tommy.
'Except if you're alone, you're never gonna be happy' Tommy responded.
Oliver looked up from the ground before speaking, 'Maybe not. But me being happy isn't what's important right now'.
Present day:
He could still remember those words he shared with his best friend and Oliver knew he had to talk to Kara. He couldn't let her suffer like he did. Soon Barry and Cisco arrived and Oliver was keen on going to Earth-38.
'Hey man, what are you doing here?' Barry asked. He saw Oliver had a large bag in his hand and arched an eyebrow at him, questioning what was in there.
'My bow, arrows and suit' He said answering Barry's silent question. 'And you told me I need to talk to Kara and I've finally managed to sort out stuff on my end so that I can go visit her'.
Barry's smiled widely. He and Kara had become fast friends. He had hoped the same for Kara and Oliver but that didn't turn out too well. Eventually the pair did become friends and he was glad Oliver would go to Earth-38 to help her.
'So, Cisco, can you create a breach for me?' Oliver asked gruffly.
'Yeah, but first…' he said before leaving the room and coming back a couple of minutes later. 'I made you an Interdimensional Extrapolator, so that you can come back any time you need to'.
Oliver thanked him and then the trio were off to Earth-38. The breach opened inside of Kara's apartment and Barry, Oliver and Cisco stepped out of it. Oliver eyes roamed her apartment and he noticed whilst it wasn't that big, it was nice.
There was a gust of wind and Kara super sped her way into her apartment. 'Oh my god, I knew it!' Kara exclaimed. She hugged Barry and Cisco before approaching Oliver.
'Only my sister gets to hug me…' Oliver protested but Kara hugged him nonetheless. 'And Kara apparently' he said as he patted her back. Kara smiled at his comment before stepping away.
'So why are you guys here? Did something bad happen?' Kara asked in a concerned tone.
'No, nothing like that' Barry said, easing her fears. 'Cisco and I just came to say hi, and after everything you told me before my wedding, I brought Oliver here because I know he can help you'.
'Barry, I'm fine. I don't…' Kara said but before she could finish, Barry and Cisco had disappeared through a breach.
'Well this is awkward' Oliver said, breaking the silence. Kara looked down at her feet and nodded in agreement. He looked out of her window and saw it was the same time on this Earth as it was on his own. Night had fallen and Oliver decided to would probably be best to talk the next day. 'Talk tomorrow?' Oliver asked as he headed towards the door.
'Where are you going?' Kara asked in confusion. 'You don't know anyone on this Earth, Oliver'.
'Somethings are the same on every Earth. There'll be abandoned buildings across the city that I can stay in' Oliver replied.
'You can't be serious?' Kara asked. 'You can stay in my apartment'.
'I lived on an island in the North China Sea for years. I think I'll be okay in a city' Oliver retorted. Kara mentally told herself to revisit the fact he lived on an island for years but right now she didn't want him to be alone in a city he didn't know. 'Anyway, I wouldn't want to intrude'.
'You're not intruding' Kara said firmly as she took his arm and brought him back to her couch. 'I insist you stay with me'. Kara had that beaming smile that Oliver thought was uniquely Kara. How can anyone say no to her when she gives you a smile like that? Oliver thought to himself before shaking those thoughts away.
'Okay. Thank you, Kara'.
So, I've only seen a few episodes of Supergirl and they were in no particular order. I really don't know much about it but after I saw a pic of Kara's face after a fight with Reign, I knew I gotta watch it. So, I'll try and watch all the episodes so that what I write is accurate. I do love Kara from what I've seen in crossovers and I think her and Oliver have a good dynamic together as they really are so different but also similar in many ways.
Btw some changes. I don't know if Oliver lost his trust fund after season 2, but I'm going with no. So, Oliver is still rich but not CEO of Queen Consolidated rich. Whilst I like that Oliver has to step up and be a dad, I don't see how he can put his son in danger like that and continue being a vigilante so William is off to stay with other family (I presume he has family on his mother's side).
Olicity ended in season 4 in this fic. Oliver is single at the beginning of this fic and has been for a long time.
