Star City 2046 AU
Author's note: I came up with this idea after watching the Legends of Tomorrow episode of the same name and it got me thinking. If Star City got so bad because the Legends disappeared how much worse would things be if a powerhouse like Kara wasn't around when things got worse? I originally wrote this along side my other story but as things in my life started to get busy I could only do so much. It wasn't until recently I found this while clearing my hard drive.
The story is set some time between the Supergirl episodes 'Falling' and 'Manhunter'. I'm still debating whether or not on making this canon with 'Same goal different methods' but here Kara knows that Oliver is the Green Arrow Kara also knows another Arrow character and their meeting has yet to be explained. If any of y'all have seen the Arrow episode that introduced Vixen and she somehow knew Laurel you will know what I mean. Any ways comments and questions are welcomed and if this gets as many reads as my other story I may continue it, but as I said with things in my outernet life getting crazy I'm not sure when.
As usual I do not own, Supergirl, Arrow, Flash or Legends of Tomorrow. This is just creative writing.
'So he just lets you come and go whenever you want?' he asked
'Well considering I'm the only other one who's strong enough to lift the key to the front door, yeah.' She replied from the other line.
Supergirl began pacing the fortress that belonged to her cousin while she held her phone to her ear, talking to her friend in Star City.
'Hey I'm sorry I couldn't be there to talk last week to talk…I had a lot going on.'
'No big, Oliver. You may not fight aliens everyday but you've got enough of your own problems to deal with. Besides I liked talking to Sara.'
'I knew you would, how's trying to get back in National City's good graces going?'
'So far people are more willing to run away from me than to accept my help I'm serious I'd be willing to help someone put together their furniture if it means they'd like me again.' Supergirl sighed disappointingly, ever since the fiasco with the red kryptonite the citizens of National City were now afraid of her. Over the last few days, no matter how hard she tried to do good, people wanted nothing to do with her and she felt more lost than she'd ever been. Still it gave some comfort that she had Oliver to talk to, with Alex and the rest of the DEO under investigation, and with Winn and James still distancing themselves from her having a friend like Oliver made it a little more bearable.
'Hey I heard that the DEO's having something of a scandal right now what with J'onn trying to calm you down during your citywide rampage.'
'Wait? You know about J'onn?' Supergirl asked somewhat surprised that Oliver knew, she always assumed up until his revelation a few days ago, her, Alex and Clark were the only ones who knew that Hank Henshaw was actually the Martian, J'onn J'onzz.
'You really think it was Clark who found out that he wasn't the real Hank Henshaw?'
'Hey is tonight…' Supergirl began.
'Yes, it is still on, the rest of my team wants to meet you and as good as the food is in National City you'll never taste anything like my homemade Chicken Cordon Bleu. Dinner time is 20:46.' Oliver reassured.
'What?' she asked confused.
'Oh sorry.' Oliver apologized 'Been hanging around with Digg too long, its military slang for 8:46 pm. Oh and speaking of Digg please don't make the entrance of flying, super powered beings make him…uncomfortable to put it lightly.'
'Uh sure, I'll see you tonight. Listen Oliver I really appreciate this with everything that's been going on.' Supergirl said with genuine appreciation.
'Anytime, kid. See you soon.'
She hung up her phone and continued to look around the fortress eventually she came across a display of a strange looking gold ring. Odd, she thought to herself. Clark was never one for jewelry and his relationship with Lois wasn't too serious yet. So why would he need a ring? Curious she plucked the ring from its display and placed it on her left ring finger she admired it for a moment before realization dawned on her and she pulled out her phone to set the reminder.
'Siri, set reminder Star City at 2046.' she said into her phone.
Before the notification could be recorded Supergirl looked and saw the ring being to glow then a bright purple light engulfed the fortress, Supergirl felt the room spinning as the intense light grew brighter.
*FOOSH!*
Then as quickly as the strange purple light came it was gone and Supergirl saw she was no longer in the fortress, but in a night lit neighbourhood that laid in ruins. Damaged cars littered the streets, the pavement was cracked worn and what buildings that weren't leveled were partially demolished and smoldering with fire. Taking in her surroundings it looked as if the whole area was used as a warzone, no people seemed to be present which gave Kara the impression that she wasn't any where familiar.
'What the hell?' She asked in confusion. Walking through the streets the one thing that caught her attention was a large building labeled 'SMOAK Technologies'. Smoak it couldn't be she thought,
*BOOOMM!*
Supergirl turned as the sound of an explosion caught her attention her instincts kicking in she took to the sky and flew off in the direction of the explosion, her best guess being that would be a place to find answers.
As she through the skies as she got a good look at the city, it was even worse than the neighbour hood she ended up in. Smoke rising, fires scotched what was left of the skyscrapers and she couldn't help but wonder what happened to leave such a place barren. After a moment she looked down to the streets below and saw a group of eight taking cover from a green clad figure firing arrows at them.
Thinking quickly, she flew at max speed to the archer and the force was enough to knock him down. Kara floated in the air for moment as the archer started to get up.
'What did it you get affected by Red Kryptonite too?' she asked sarcastically as she was curious as to why Oliver would attack a group of seemingly innocent people. It was only after the archer looked up to face her that she suddenly understood why: the face under the hood was not that of Oliver Queen's but of a young African-American man.
'You're not Oliver.' She said in shock.
*THWICK!*
'AGHHH!' Supergirl suddenly cried in pain as she fell to her knees on the cold ground. Looking down she saw an arrow protruding from her shoulder, an arrow with a glowing green head. Kryptonite she realized.
Turning around she saw a figure in red standing on a nearby rooftop with a bow in their hand. Supergirl's vision started to blur,
'We need to return to the ship!' a male British voice said.
'Not without her!' a familiar female voice barked back.
Those were the last things Supergirl heard before loosing consciousness.
