NOTES: Hi guys! Sorry for taking so long to update. I don't know if I mentioned before, but I'm a dancer here in Brazil. Dancer and choreographer, and since one of my groups was booked to perform next Sunday at a nightclub, we've been crazy with rehearsals, so I had 0 time to update before.
Thank you guys for the comments and I'm glad to know u are enjoying it. I'm thinking about expanding the story, since I've been having so many ideas, and it's better than start a new story... I think this one can go places, u know?
And well, for those who asked: Kara / Oliver is my crackship. It means I know they will never happen on TV, and it's ok because I'm fine with the shows now... But when it comes to fanfiction, it opens so many doors of possibilities. And I can't help but wonder... I loved their interaction on the crossover, it was small, but awesome... So I found out I would love for them to become great friends, like Oliver is with Barry. And it makes sense: Barry and Kara are bffs, Oliver and Barry are bffs... they need to give us trio of bffs ^^
There u go, chapter 7. Hope u like it:
Kara and Oliver went to the 7th floor, with Sara backing them up in case of any more surprises. They tried to be as quiet as possible so they wouldn't drag any undesired attention to them.
- What's the plan, guys? – Sara said in a whisper as she looked over her shoulder as they went upstairs.
- Aim and shoot. – Oliver said
- Not kill! – Kara added, floating up beside them – But give a lot of punch!
- Yep, that's the whole idea – Oliver whispered back as they reached the 7th floor, walking to a door at the end of the corridor
- Great! – Sara said as they entered the room.
James was tied up in a chair, with black ropes in his eyes and mouth. Two guys were guarding them, both with heavy and huge guns that they pointed immediately as Oliver entered the room, with Kara and Sara behind him. Kara landed on the ground as she was still floating and gave two steps forward.
- It's over! Surrender now and you won't be hurt!
Oliver took an arrow from his quiver, positioning it on his bow and aiming at one of the armored guys. The guy laughed out loud while some weird guy came out of the shadows.
- Don't you know already? It's not over until I say so! – The guys said as he crossed his arms on his chest, staring at them all. He wore a black mask on his face and a black robe.
- You must be the hacker that hold a grudge against us vigilantes… - Oliver said in his deep Green Arrow voice, taking a step forward.
- ONE MORE STEP AND YOUR VIGILANTE FRIEND DIES! – The other guy shouted with his gun pointed to James' head.
Oliver looked at Kara and nodded slightly with his head.
- You have failed this city! - He shoot the arrow at his gun the same time Kara used her heat vision on the other gun. The guy holding it screamed in pain as Kara burned his hand as well.
They advanced to Oliver and Kara. Sara went full with rage against the hacker and a huge fight broke out. Oliver blocked to hand attacks from the taller guy, using both his arms and taking a few steps back. He crouched on the floor, his right foot kicking the tall man's leg, making him fall with his face to the ground. Oliver pressed his knee into his back, bending on of his arms behind and his left arm around his neck, forcing it back and making it hard for the guy to breathe. Kara dodged some kryptonite bullets the hacker shoot at her while he fought Sara. That guy was good, but Sara was better, Kara thought as she focused back on her own fight. It was not that hard since she disarmed the guy and he was only human. Kara gave a hard punch on his stomach, making him fly over the room and pass out right away. Kara let James go of the chair and mentioned to help Sara but another bullet came into her direction. Two more guys came in and James ran to fight them. Se deflected it, but another one hit her right on the shoulders.
Kara fell down the ground in pain, her veins burning like it was on fire, her whole body trembling. She tried to focus, to forget the pain so she could get rid of the bullet. Oliver reached back his quiver and found a tranquilizer arrow. He grabbed it and jabbed the guy's arm with it. He got up and shoot an arrow in the hacker's back but he turned around in time to grab it with his hand. It went through his palm but he held the scream back, taking it off his hand and throwing it at the ground. Oliver jumped high in his direction hitting his face with his bow and dragging some blood out of his nose. Kara agonized on the floor and Oliver looked quickly at her, trying to do something but that annoying guy wouldn't stop coming at him.
- JAMES! SUPERGIRL! – It was all he could say as the hacker tried to grab his neck from behind.
Oliver bent over a little, grabbing the hacker's arms and pushing his body front, making the guy roll over him to the other side. His back hit the floor and Oliver ran to him giving punch after punch on his face. The hacker was getting beaten hard but kept smiling at him like some maniac.
Sara gave James a reassuring look that she got this, for him to go help Kara. He ran to her, trying to convince Kara to go to the van to recover.
- I won't leave them here fighting alone – She said as she took a deep breath and reached for her shoulders to take the bullet from there. It hurts like hell, she thought as she took it off slowly.
In the meantime, Oliver got up, tired of punching that guy. As the hacker tried to stand up, still with a maniac look in his eyes, Oliver grabbed a boxing arrow and shoot him in the face, making him fall to the ground the exact moment Alex arrived as back up.
- Now that's definitely something I had no idea it existed – She laughed seeing that funny arrow that had a red mini boxing glove on its end. – And it actually works. – She said as she went to help Sara as one more guy came in to fight them.
- You would be surprised – Oliver said to Alex as the hacker got up again with some difficulty.
Alex used her special gun at the guy and he never had a chance as he fell down to the ground, unconscious.
- Nice gun! – Sara blinked to her as she spun with half body rotation, her foot on the air giving the guy she was fighting with multiple kicks in the guts.
James gave one of the guys he was fighting with a jumping spin kick up with three body rotations midair, but the guy managed to deflect it, palm striking James full in the chest. Kara looked at Oliver as she knocked one more guy to the ground and saw as the hacker was going to shoot him as he took a gun that was hidden in his clothes. Oliver was down as he was hit in the head and a bit dizzy, so Kara flew, standing right in front of Oliver. As soon as the hacker shoot, Kara used her heat vision to melt the bullet halfway, the other she caught with her bare hands but the third hit her tight, this one was made from kryptonite, making Kara fall down to the floor again. Everyone else were fighting for their lives. Oliver blinked twice, shooting an exploding arrow to the hacker, knocking him down for good this time and leaving a good burn on his face, arms and legs. He ran towards Kara, holding her in his arms as he reached her tight and took the bullet out of her, throwing it far away. Kara opened her eyes slowly, feeling her strength coming back little by little.
- You need to stop doing this – Oliver said looking worried at Kara as she smiled back at him.
- If it means I get to save your life, it's worth it! – She whispered to him as she felt pain taking over her body
Oliver kept looking worried at her. He was really scared for the first time in a long time. He was getting used to Kara being this invincible badass alien who could beat anyone and whatever it came against her, to learn she had a weakness that could kill her on this Earth, it was not a fun thing for him to think about. He knew Kara could take care of herself, but if there was something around that could take her down, he would worry and this was really scary. It was definitely something really powerful, to take down the most powerful woman in the whole multiverse. He was so lost in his thoughts he never realized he was caressing Kara's cheeks, his hands getting lost in her golden locks.
Alex and Sara moved together towards the three men they were fighting, combining their moves to knock them down. One of them grabbed Alex, as Sara took a knife from her boots and spun around in a fast move, making a deep cut in his back, blood spilling everywhere as the guy fell in his knees to the ground. Sara spun around one more time quickly and jabbed her blooded knife on the next guy, taking his hand away. He shouted in horror as the hand fell to the ground and more blood spilled everywhere. She stopped in front of the third guy, pointing her the knife to his throat
- Don't tempt me, I'll kill you – Sara said with fire burning into her eyes. The guy laughed at her and she jabbed the knife on his face, making a deep cut in the corner of his mouth.
The guy screamed in pain and with one move she knocked him down along with the handless guy. Alex looked at her with wide eyes as Sara regained her self-control little by little. Sara looked around and saw James also looking at her terrified. Sara still had that vicious killer look, so she turned her back from them and put her knife away. Alex walked slowly towards Sara as all their enemies were down for good. She put a hand in Sara's shoulder and made her turn around to face her.
- Don't… Don't look at me – Sara turned her face away but Alex touched her chin, caressing it.
- Don't do this Sara. Please, look at me…
- Look what I just did…
- Sara. Please, look at me – Alex caressed her cheeks with her both hands – You did what was necessary. We were going to be killed today if we were not prepared. They are not dead…
- But they will soon if they are not taken care of. – She looked around the room horrified.
Sara thought she was free of her killer instinct, but apparently when it came to survival or her loved ones, it came back full strength. She was going to have to deal with that sooner or later. Later, she decided.
- Look! – Alex looked worried at Sara – You didn't kill anyone today, even if you think you were close to, you didn't. They were about to hurt you, to hurt Kara, to hurt me. When we are fighting for our lives, for the ones who care about, we do crazy things, it doesn't mean we are monsters. You are not one! – She smiled as Sara looked at her. – I think you are a pretty badass ninja.
- Well, I care about you all… - Sara looked around, turning her eyes back to Alex - Especially you. – She brought her face closer to Alex and they kissed. This was news to everyone but they were so tired and shaken with all that happened that no one else made a comment.
Alex was going to call the police department to take those guys to the hospital and then to jail, but Oliver told her to bring them to the DEO and ask for backup for it. They finally took down the hacker and his crazy followers, but she knew Kara wouldn't want anyone to die and since they knew about Supergirl's real identity and the Guardian, it was safer this way. Oliver and James helped Kara back to the van, where Winn checked if there was any kryptonite left on her and Sara walked alone to the van. Once they were back at the DEO, Oliver brought J'onn J'onnz to an empty room, as discreet as possible.
- We found this at the basement of L Corp, where the hacker was operating from. – He gave the files on Kara and James he stole from the hacker's lair.
- So, they know about James, Kara… The DEO? – J'onn said as he read everything on the files
- Apparently.
- Our physicians are taking care of them and then we will see with the police what can we do. Thank you for this, Oliver, but I'll handle this from now on.
- Just, one thing… - Oliver said before J'onn could leave the room – It's really weird that a criminal organization can use the basement of a company like L Corp without the owner of this said company knowing a single thing about it. They did their broadcast there… It's interesting.
- You think that Lena Luthor may know something about this?
- I don't know, and I know Kara trusts her, but I don't trust that woman until I'm proven wrong. If one thing I learned, is that even the most innocent like person can be a traitor at the end of the day.
- You took everything from there? About James and Kara?
- Yes, but they might have copies. It can't be their only files.
- In this case I'll ask you a favor, but please, keep this between the two of us. – He said as he sat in a chair and explained his plan to Oliver.
Kara lay down in the medical area recovering from her injuries under some solar lamps. The last thing she remember seeing before feeling dizziness was Oliver's worried face looking at her like she could vanish from his arms at any second. She felt his hands caressing her face, her hair. It was a good sensation but she was unsure if it was all real or if she was raving. She saw someone opening the door as she tried to sit properly on the bed. It was Sara. She smiled at her and walked in, closing the door behind her.
- Are you feeling better? – Sara said as she sat at the chair next to Kara's bed.
- Yes. Now I'm feeling much better. And you? How are you? – Kara looked worried at Sara – I've heard what happened.
- I'm… I don't know. I guess I'll be ok. – Sara looked down, not knowing what to say exactly.
- Sara… You did what you had to.
- I didn't have to take that guy's hand out…
- But you did. The guy was going to hurt you pretty bad, don't punish yourself over it… - She said as she noticed the look of shame in Sara's face – Do you know how many times I lost it? When my sister was kidnapped once, I literally lost it. I almost did something I would regret later. But I beat him down, like crazy. And when my uncle was trying to dominate the world and turn humans into slaves, I almost killed him. I gave him punch after punch. I was ready to do it. When I fight bad guys, I punch them, I beat them, I do it because I have to. I wish there was a peaceful way to solve things, I always try to reason with them, but they never cooperate. What you did today, as I've heard, was extreme, I have to be honest with you, but it doesn't make you a bad person. If you give yourself time, and forgive yourself for whatever you think you had done in the past, that was so bad to make yourself think you are a monster like you do, little by little things will get better.
- I just… I hadn't been like that for so long, I don't know what came into me…
- Alex were there fighting as well right?
- Yes.
- What happened?
- One of them grabbed Alex from behind. He was going to stab her so I went nuts.
- Hum… - Kara looked down her bed thoughtful – You care about my sister…
- Yes, I do.
- I'm glad. – She looked at a surprised Sara – I'm not blind Sara, I can see something is happening between the two of you. And now you know why you lost it… You saved my sister. You are a hero Sara, not a monster. Thank you for looking out for her. She is a badass, I know it, but sometimes, at the end of the day, all of us needs saving.
- Even you. – Sara smiled as she sat at Kara's side on the bed and grabbed her hand – Speaking about seeing things, you took the bullet for Oliver again. I know you would do it for anyone, but… What is going on between you two?
- I don't know… - Kara looked at Sara – I have no idea, at all.
- I can see he cares for you… And I'm glad.
- Why?
- I was with Oliver when he ended up on the island. We went our separate ways but I found him again on a ship. We've been through a lot together, and I think back then, we found comfort on each other. When I came back to Star City, I was I a dark place, I had just escaped the League of Assassins, I was ashamed of my past, afraid for my family. Oliver was lost as well, he was just back from the island, trying to keep going on with his life and started with this vigilante thing… We were there for each other when we needed it, but it was not the solution. I told Oliver that he deserved to be happy again and find someone that could be his light. I think there's no light better than you, Kara.
Kara listened to Sara quietly. She could imagine they had a past, given their intimacy and she thought it was an amazing thing, that they managed to be friends, and there for each other even if things didn't work out. Kara learned that Sara was bisexual as they talked.
- I like to think I fall for the person; you know? Their personality. It didn't work with Oliver, it didn't work with many people, because I realized I needed to deal with me, my issues. Back on the League I had Nyssa, she saved me, trained me, took me under her wings. I loved her, but I was so done with the killing, I felt like I had no soul left. Oliver helped me restore a piece of my soul, and the rest I worked myself… But it wasn't enough, not for me…
- I can see you guys are great friends. – Kara smiled – I admire that… But… Why do you think I'm the light in his life? He sure must have people that loves him around.
- Yes, he does. But… They are all great, don't get me wrong. But I think your kind of light is different. I can see you suffered a lot in this life, and I only can tell for the thing you told me. You are a ray of sunshine, Kara Danvers. And I'm glad I have met you. I'm sure Oliver's glad too. I can see the way he looks at you. I was nuts with anger and full on my bloodlust, but I'm also not blind. He just has problems admitting his feelings. And I could tell you were jealous at the party, so you must feel something as well…
- Is not that, is just… Ok it was… a little. – She blushed as she looked at her own hands – I just felt ignored, and Lena clearly had no chill… I adore her, she is one of my best friends, but it bothered me the way she acted with Oliver, like he was some piece of meat… He's a human being, for Rao's sake!
- Believe me, that's the normal reaction Oliver causes in many women. And he likes to be a gentleman, so there you go… Just believe me, I never saw him look at anyone the way he looked at you, and I know Ollie, there is something there. Just… Relax, be yourself, this adorable you. I confess it was funny to see it, and I know he noticed. The bastard looked happy with that, so, don't worry… You'll figure out things by yourself and well, I can't tell you Oliver will, because he doesn't do feelings like the rest of us… - She joked, making Kara giggle.
- I'm glad I met you too – Kara said as she hugged Sara. – I have a feeling someday soon I'll be calling you sister in law – She teased.
- Calm down, lady… Baby steps!
Later that night, Oliver sat alone on the floor of a bunker of the DEO. He thought about that crazy day, about his suspicious of Lena. He couldn't help but think it was really weird she had no idea of what was happening inside her own company, with all of that security. He was worried about Kara as well. If Lena turned out to be a traitor, Kara would suffer. He knew she was Kara's great friend and Kara trusted her. He knew what it was like to trust someone and to be betrayed. He knew a lot about it, more than he liked to. He felt a relief when he heard about Kara recovering, and he also couldn't sleep thinking about their kiss. It was so unexpected, so natural. Her response to him was carved deep on his mind, her soft and low moans as he kissed her. It was something that would haunt him for a long time, he was sure of it. He was not looking for love, in any form, he was not looking for anything like that. He wanted to give his mind and heart a break after everything that happened between him and Felicity. They talked, they decided to stay friends, they solved the problems, but too much had happened, the passion, the feelings, it was just not there anymore. They both agreed with that and they kept living their lives. For some weird reason, Oliver couldn't be the party boy, womanizer he once was. He was older, wiser, still a bit stubborn, but he decided to focus on being a hero, helping his friends, his city, being the Mayor his people needed. He was good until he met Kara. He was smitten by her when they met, even if he wouldn't admit it to himself or anyone whatsoever, so he went to his classic mood of keeping people away being rude at them. He couldn't help it, it was automatic. And then, he apologized and since then, they became something close to friends, he couldn't define what exactly. And if he wasn't losing his mind, he could swear Kara was jealous at the party. Her excuse to take him away from Lena, her anger towards him when they talked about it, her mood switch. He couldn't help but feel a certain warmth inside his chest as he thought about it. He smiled to himself, getting up and leaving the room.
At the medical area, Kara had her eyes closed, but she couldn't sleep. Her talk to Sara was still on her thoughts when she heard the door opening again.
- Kara? – she heard Oliver's voice whisper and opened her eyes – Did I wake you?
- No, I just had my eyes closed… Can't sleep.
- Me neither – He smiled as he entered and closed the door behind him – How are you feeling?
- Fully recovered. J'onn just told me to stay here today in observation. Do you want to go to my apartment? I know the rooms in here are uncomfortable…
- No, It's fine. I rather stay here… Just in case – He said, still looking worried at her.
- What? – She smiled.
- I'm not used to see you almost dying…
- Well, it happens a lot to me… - She said trying to lighten the mood – I just have to be careful. They will do some research about it since there wasn't supposed to be any more kryptonite around… Guess they found a way…
- Yes, I'm helping J'onn with that…
- Are you now? – She smiled at him – Thank you Oliver, really… For all your help. I know you must miss home, and you also have your duties as Mayor…
- Hey… I told you I would help you – Oliver grabbed one of her hands – I can stay a bit longer to help with this thing… I also have to finish my training with James and Lyra.
Kara looked at Oliver in silence, just with a small smile on her lips. She noticed Oliver was still holding her hand as he sat beside her. She blushed as she looked at them and an awkward silence fell between them. Oliver looked down as he let her hand go, looking back at Kara.
- Are you having problems sleeping? – Kara asked full of curiosity
- Kind of… - He said vaguely, not wanting to go into details about what was depriving him from his sleep - And so are you by the looks of it.
- I can't help but think about today… - She said thoughtful – You took me by surprise – She blushed as she looked down her bed.
- Listen… About that kiss…
Kara felt her heart racing. As she told Sara, she had no idea what was going on, Oliver was a full mystery to her. It was impossible to read him or to try to guess what he was thinking. It was a hell of a kiss but she tried hard to not get ahead of things.
- I know Oliver – It was the first thing that came to her mind – We kissed… I was so nervous… About those guys knowing about me, being armored with the one thing that could kill me, we were surrounded… - She smiled at him, still blushing – It worked. It was for the mission…
Oliver looked at her as he thought a lot of things at the same time. He had no idea what was going on, but one thing he had sure, he kissed her because he wanted to. He decided a long time ago he wouldn't try to find excuses for his actions anymore.
- Yes, I kissed you – He smiled at her as he got up and walked to the door. He stopped and turned to her as he opened the door – But maybe it wasn't just for the mission… - He looked intensely at her as he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Kara just stood there, lay on the bed and looking startled at the door. Suddenly everything she was sure, she wasn't anymore. She hated to feel like that, so vulnerable, so confused and at the same time, so attracted to him. She turned to her side trying to get some sleep, knowing it would be really hard.
Sara was training in another room of the DEO. It was really late and there was almost no one else there besides Kara, Oliver, Sara and J'onn. As she got out of the room to hit the lockers and take a shower, she bumped into Alex.
- I've heard you are quite the fighter… And a really hot one – Sara smiled at her as she entered the locker room.
- Thanks – Alex laughed as she started feeling nervous.
She had promised Sara they would talk when they got the chance and this was the perfect chance, since they were alone. Alex walked around as she bit her nails, thinking about what to say as Sara went to the other side, a wall keeping them apart. Sara changed so she could take a quick shower, so she entered the shower box and turned it on. Alex could hear the water coming down as she organized her thoughts. Suddenly, thinking about Sara on shower right across the wall made her really nervous.
- So… I know I told you I would talk to you… About my behavior…
- Yes – Sara answered
- I ran away that day, but it was not because of you… I was feeling guilty… I broke up with Maggie and she left but it was so recent…
- You feel like you were betraying her, because you thought you still had feelings for her… Am I right?
Alex froze as she looked at the wall in front of her.
- Alex?
- I'm here… Yeah… How do you…
- How do I know? Because I know it's hard for us to get over our first love. She was your first girlfriend right?
- Yes…
- Alex, we are from different Earths but those things are the same, anywhere… It's normal to feel guilty.
- But that's the thing… - Alex interrupted Sara as she walked to the other side of the wall.
Alex took a few steps and opened the door to Sara's shower box.
- I thought I still had feelings for her… But I don't.
Sara stopped showering and stood still, looking surprised at Alex. She was not ashamed of being like she was in front of Alex; she just wasn't expecting anything like that coming from Alex.
- You rocked my world Sara Lance! – Alex said as she stepped in the shower, fully clothed and kissed Sara right on the lips. – I'm not running away this time.
- Good! – Sara said as she closed the door behind Alex, kissing her back.
