Summary: Set season 6 after Raya's death. While on a mission, the Green Arrow meets a young woman with abilities just like Clark's. He tries to convince her to join the team he's starting. This is kind of like my own version Supergirl.
Disclaimer: I don't own Smallville. I only own my original character.

Chapter 1Oliver Queen pulled the green hood over his head and put on the sunglasses. Now the Green Arrow, he loaded his weapons and grabbed extra ammo. His target tonight: a group of thieves that had been targeting old people in Metropolis. Given their surprisingly large number, he had asked Clark to help him, but he had refused. Oliver wasn't sure why Clark was so afraid to hide. If only he would wear a costume he thought as he walked into his hidden garage.
Elsewhere
A tall girl slowed her motorcycle to a stop. So this is Metropolis she thought. I guess this will do.
The Daily Planet
Clark walked toward Chloe with a distressed look on his face.
"Clark what's wrong?"
"It's Oliver. He keeps asking me to join with him on his crusade for justice."
Chloe laughed. "What's the matter Clark? Don't you want to run around in a costume?"
"No. Well… My point is, it isn't right for us to take the law into our own hands. It isn't ethical."
"Well Clark, you know that Einstein said that ethics only apply without superhuman intervention."
Clark rolled his eyes.
A Metropolis apartment building
The Green Arrow waited patiently. He knew they were coming. Eventually he saw a van and two cars skid to a halt outside the building. When he had confirmed that they were the assailants he was looking for, he shot a cable to the top of the building and slid over. He didn't know what they were looking for, but it had to be extremely valuable for them to risk robbing a twelfth floor apartment.
Suddenly he heard an old woman scream, four floors below him. Damn it. I'm in the wrong apartment. He charged down the stairs. This doesn't make any sense. The old woman down there isn't even rich.
The Green Arrow burst into the apartment. One of the thugs had the old lady at gunpoint. The others were rummaging through her stuff. The one with the gun spun and shot at him. He thought for sure the bullet would hit him but it seemed to melt before it hit him. He glanced behind the gunman and saw someone standing on the fire escape. It was a young woman with dark brown hair. She had a hooded sweatshirt on so her face couldn't be seen.
The thug turned to shoot at her but the Green Arrow quickly took him down with a stun arrow. The one by the door yelled into his radio to abort the mission. Him and the other three ran to the door. The mysterious girl suddenly appeared in front of them. With one swift motion she knocked all of them down. The Green Arrow shot a stun dart that released a burst of electricity and knocked them all out.
"Wait." He called out to the girl but she was already gone. He heard police sirens in the distance. Running to the window, he fired a cord to the building across the alley. The old woman ran to him and thanked him. "No problem."
As he sped away on his dirt bike, he pondered the mysterious girl. She seems to have abilities just like Clark. I better go change and find him. I wish he would just carry a cell phone.
The Kent Farm
Clark walked into the kitchen. The breakfast his mother was cooking smelled delicious. "Hey mom."
"Oh good morning Clark. Are you finished already?" Clark nodded. His mother walked to the stove. "Breakfast is almost done. Oh who is that?" Martha pointed at the car coming up the lane. Clark used his x-ray vision.
"It's Oliver Queen."
Martha got a look of surprise on her face. "Oh. Well you can invite him in for breakfast."
Clark nodded and walked outside. He shook Oliver's hand and motioned toward the house. "I'm supposed to invite you inside. My mom's on one of her cooking rampages."
The two of them went inside. Oliver greeted Martha with a smile. He looked around. "Are we alone?" he asked Clark quietly. Clark nodded. "I have something important to tell you. Last night I went out after those-,"
Clark cleared his throat and nodded at his mother. Oliver shook his head. "It's okay. She should probably hear this too."
Martha grew concerned. "What's going on."
"Mom, you remember the Green Arrow right? The one who stole Lionel's necklace?" Martha nodded. "Well, Oliver is the Green Arrow."
She gasped. "What? But I don't understand."
Oliver raised his hands in defense. "Mrs. Kent, I thought I was doing the right thing by stealing it. All details aside, I'm trying to stop crimes from happening. Last night I was after a group of thieves when I met someone…interesting."
The three of them sat down and Oliver told them about the events the previous night. Clark and Oliver decided to go to Metropolis and look for her.
As the car traveled down the highway, Clark looked at his watch. "I'm not used to going to Metropolis this way."
"Well Clark, if you zoom over there how are we going to try to find her together?"
Clark shook his head. "Don't tell me you're already planning on trying to get her join your superhero team?"
"So what if I am? You won't help me. I'm not invincible like you Clark. If it hadn't been for her, I'd probably be dead right now. What do you plan to do? Hide your powers forever? This world needs us. We're meant to help them."
When they pulled up to the apartment building, Oliver suggested they ask some of the tenants if they had seen anyone matching her description. Clark nodded. They walked into the building. They hadn't gone more than twenty feet when Oliver ducked behind a plant.
"What are you doing?" Clark asked as he ducked down next to him.
"That's her." He pointed at a young woman walking down the steps. The two men followed as she began walking down the crowded streets. They followed for several blocks. As they rounded a corner into an alley, Oliver was suddenly grabbed and pushed against a wall.
"Why are you following me?" she snapped angrily. Before he could answer, Clark pulled the young woman off of him.
Whoa he's strong, she thought. She turned to face him. "How did you do that?"
Clark smiled. "It's okay. I know what you can do."
She glared suspiciously. "What are you talking about?"
"I have abilities just like yours."
The girl laughed. "Yeah right." She turned and started to speed away. Before she got far, however, Clark was right in front of her. "Whoa. You weren't kidding."
"Why don't you come with us?" Oliver asked, wincing as he stood up.
"Sorry about that. I guess I'm still getting used to my strength."
Clark frowned. "Wait, you're not one of the escapees from the phantom zone are you?" The girl looked at him strangely.
"What's a phantom zone?" Clark nodded and sighed with relief.
"It's a long story. Let's go back to Oliver's place. I think I can explain what's happening to you." The three of them walked back to Oliver's car. When Clark opened the door for her she shook her head.
"Sorry. I don't trust you guys that well. I'll follow you on my motorcycle." The three of them set out for Oliver's suite. Once there the girl looked around and nodded.
"Nice place. Now, how about you guys tell me who you are." Clark walked forward.
"I'm Clark Kent. This is Oliver Queen."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Amy Reed."
Oliver led them into the lounge and they sat down. Clark scooted forward.
"So Amy, how long have you had your abilities?"
She sat back and thought. "For about six months. I just woke up one day and I was floating over my bed. I thought that it was just my imagination until I was started playing my guitar. I found that I could play incredibly well. It was like everyone else was moving in slow motion. Then when I hit the final chord I broke all six strings. After that I started getting stronger and stronger. I started developing other abilities too."
Clark nodded. "Like heat vision, the power to see through walls, and the ability to fly."
Amy leaned forward. "Whoa! You can fly?"
"You can't?"
"Well, I've never really tried. Is that why I was floating over my bed?"
"Clark, don't you think she should probably stay at the farm?" Oliver interrupted. Clark thought about it.
"Maybe that's not such a bad idea. If you came and stayed there, I could train you in how to use your abilities. After all I've had my whole life to get used to them. It must be hard to suddenly get them."
Amy nodded in agreement. "It's hard to control them sometimes. I think they're awesome though."
"So what do you say? Do you want to come stay on the farm? I can help you with your powers and maybe find out how you got them."
Amy considered it. "Okay, what the hell."
Amy paced the length of the loft. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. "So you're saying that I'm an alien?"
Clark shrugged. "I don't know for sure. All I know is that you got your abilities before I went to the Phantom Zone so I can't figure out where your abilities came from. The only way we can know for sure is if we can contact Jor-El at the Fortress of Solitude."
"Wait, I thought Jor-El was your father." Clark nodded in agreement. "But you said that he's dead. How can we talk to him?"
"It's a long story. It'll be easier to show you. Follow me and try to keep up" he said with a smile. He blazed out of the barn with Amy hot on his heels. The ran to the caves and Clark led Amy into the portal room.
"Hold on" he instructed, putting his hand on her shoulder and sliding the octagonal key into the slot. A brief flash of light later, the two were standing in the Fortress of Solitude.
"Whoa!" Amy exclaimed, looking around. Clark led her to the main power console. He pulled the crystal Raya had given him out of his jacket pocket. He placed it in the center of the console. It began to glow and spread its energy across the fortress. Suddenly a booming voice called out.
"Well done Cal-El." Upon hearing Jor-El's voice, Amy spun around, looking for the source of the sound.
"What the heck? You really weren't kidding."
Jor-El's voice spoke again. "Welcome Zira-El, my daughter."
