Author's Note: Here's the Oliver/Mon-El bromance moment! Hope you guys like it!


The next day, Oliver walked into Al's Bar feeling slightly dejected. After video evidence surfaced of Lena Luthor being the one to steal kryptonite for Metallo, she was promptly arrested and sent to prison. He hadn't had a chance to see Kara and talk to her about it since she was busy at CatCo. He walked over to the counter, spotting Mon-El wiping the counter with a cloth. Mon-El smiled as he noticed Oliver walking towards him.

"Oliver! What's up?" he asked cheerfully.

"Nothing much" replied Oliver, as he sat at the counter.

"The usual?" asked Mon-El, drawing out a nod of the head from Oliver, "Euphorian cidar coming up!" said Mon-El, as he opened the bottle and slid it over to Oliver. "This whole situation sucks right? What's happening with Lena?"

"Yeah. You should probably go speak to Kara about it" replied Oliver.

"I'll see if I can. We're still training later right?"

"I'm not sure. I'm thinking of giving you the day off" replied Oliver.

"Why? Afraid that the student has surpassed the master?" joked Mon-El.

"You wish" replied Oliver, chuckling to himself as he took a sip of his drink.

"Come on Oliver, we both know that one of these days… I'm going to beat you at something."

"Keyword: Something. Not specifically fighting."

"Point taken. I bet I can beat you at darts" said Mon-El confidently, gesturing to the dart board in the bar.

"No ways" replied Oliver, scoffing.

"Only one way to find out… unless you're scared of losing" said Mon-El coaxingly. Oliver grinned to himself, deciding that it would be good fun to entertain Mon-El, but not without a catch.

"Ok, Mon-El. I'll play" said Oliver, as he took one last sip of his drink and stood up, "But only… if there's stakes."

"Oh, for sure" replied Mon-El excitedly, "If I win, you have to fight me one on one, no lead."

"Alright, but if you lose… you have to tell Kara how you really feel about her" replied Oliver, smirking as he watched Mon-El's facial expression change from one of excitement to bewilderment.

"You really had to go there, didn't you?" asked Mon-El.

"Oh yeah."

"You know what? It's alright. I'm not afraid of losing" said Mon-El, as he walked out around the counter, holding the three darts in his hand. He walked to about 5 feet in front of the board, but Oliver pulled him back further, making him stand 8 feet away.

"Whoever gets the most points wins the round. Best of three" said Mon-El, as he began to ready himself to launch the darts. Mon-El's first dart landed just outside of the bullseye area, scoring 12 points. His second dart landed close to the bullseye once again, scoring 20 points. His third one landed on the outer bull, scoring 25 points. Mon-El pumped his fist in the air before walking to the board and collecting the three darts, "I'd like to see you beat that" he said cockily, as he handed the three darts to Oliver.

Oliver grinned once again, relaxing his stance before throwing the first dart… directly at the centre of the bullseye. The aliens sitting by the table next to them gasped as Oliver threw the remaining two darts within a couple of more seconds, with all of them landing on the bullseye. The aliens around applauded and laughed as Mon-El stood motionless in disbelief.

"Ready to admit defeat?" asked Oliver as he collected the darts and handed them back to Mon-El.

"Not even close" replied Mon-El, as he took the darts in his hand. He looked to the alien table next to them to look at one of his friends, Hector. Mon-El discreetly nodded at him, who acknowledged his request with a subtle nod too. Mon-El threw the first dart, and Oliver watched as it slightly swung in the air onto the bullseye. Mon-El threw the second one, which once again swung in the air ever so slightly.

"Wait, wait, what's going on?" asked Oliver.

"Nothing" replied Mon-El innocently as the third dart landed on the bullseye once again, causing him to turn his head slightly towards Oliver and grin mischievously.

"Alright, which one of you telekinetics is helping him?" said Oliver, as he turned to face the alien table next to him. They all mumbled in denial and shook their shoulders.

"Hey man, that was all me. I was still warming up the first round, you know?" said Mon-El teasingly.

"You're still going to lose, even if you cheat" said Oliver playfully, as he readied himself to throw his dart. Oliver threw with the exact same motion as the first time, but he watched as the dart slightly swayed off course, on to the outer bullseye instead of the very center. He threw the next two, with the very same thing happening. He turned to face Mon-El with a look of chagrin, but Mon-El shrugged it off and walked over to the board to collect the darts, "Alright, I see you're playing this" said Oliver, smirking as Mon-El walked back to him.

Oliver stood patiently, waiting for Mon-El to throw his darts. Oliver let him throw the first one, which landed on the bullseye once again with some help from his telekinetic friends. Oliver let the second one launch as well, as it landed next to the other dart. Now, he was going to make his move. Just as the third dart left Mon-El's hands, Oliver withdrew a flechette from his back pocket and flung at it the dart, knocking it out of the air. Within another split-second, he pulled out his knife and opened it before flinging it at the board. It spun towards the bullseye, and it split the dart on the very center of the bullseye in half as it collided with it and stuck to the center of the board.

He looked to Mon-El with a smile, who was completely perplexed by what had occurred. Just as Oliver was about to speak up, his phone buzzed. He pulled it out and saw the text from Winn – "Lena Luthor broken out of prison by Metallo. Get back to the DEO ASAP." Oliver put his phone back in his pocket, and turned back to Mon-El before speaking up.

"I have to get back to the DEO. Shall we call it a draw?" asked Oliver.

"Yeah… a draw" replied Mon-El, as he and Oliver both began laughing before they shook hands and Oliver left the bar.


Back at the DEO, Oliver stood with everyone in the Med Bay, watching as Alex treated the burn wound on James' shoulder. James had been at the prison when Metallo tried to break Lena out and had clearly lost.

"Metallo's strong, but something's off" said James, "His Kryptonite isn't right. I think it's hurting him."

"Well, you're lucky you didn't take a direct hit" said Alex.

"Very lucky" added Kara.

"I had my shield… I love that shield" replied James, drawing a look of anger from her, "I know what I'm doing, Kara."

"Even if Metallo is weakening, though, he still is a fanatic follower of Lillian Luthor. We have to find out where he's taken Lena, and help her" said Kara.

"What is it going to take for you to realize that Lena is a criminal?" asked James, "She's not the victim. She got the Kryptonite. He broke her out of prison."

"Lena's not a member of Cadmus! She's not!" said Kara adamantly. Unfortunately, nobody else in the room shared her sentiment. She look at everyone, J'onn, Alex, Winn, none of them thought that Lena Luthor was innocent, "She stopped the gang with alien weapons. She saved Alex's life when Corben tried to kill her."

"She shot Corben and then her crazy mom turned Corben into Metallo. So, that could have been the plan the entire time" replied James.

"We have to start treating Lena Luthor like a hostile. The evidence is too overwhelming" added J'onn.

"Winn? If you watch that video, I know you'll find something" said Kara.

"I did, Kara. It's clean."

"Then find something to prove her innocent" she replied adamantly.

"Everything we've seen so far says the exact opposite" said J'onn solemnly.

"Well, she's my friend. And I believe in her" said Kara, before storming out of the room.

J'onn and James were right. Almost everything so far pointed towards Lena Luthor being guilty. Despite all of the evidence, a part of Oliver believed in Kara. If Lena really was a member of Cadmus, then she's gone to extreme lengths to supposedly prove her innocence before all of a sudden taking a turn and basically revealing herself. As CEO of L-Corp, she could be doing so much more to help Cadmus from the shadows rather than reveal herself at this moment. However, Oliver had also seen this story play before with Diggle and Ted Gaynor. Gaynor's name was on The List, but Diggle still believed he was innocent. Diggle's blind trust almost cost Carly her life, and he'd hate to see a similar situation play out with Kara.


"Oliver!" he heard James' voice behind him. He was tempted to ignore it, but he chose not to, turning around to face James. Oliver was surprised to see an apologetic look on his face, "Hey, I just want to apologise for calling you a Robin Hood wannabe" he said sincerely.

Oliver nodded, acknowledging his apology before James continued talking, "After what happened at the warehouse and with Metallo, I've realised that you were right. I can't keep going like this. If it's possible, I'd like to take up that offer on training." Oliver appreciated James' apology and willingness to co-operate. He was obviously a very proud man, and it took him a lot to accept that he wasn't good enough… yet.

"Alright. We can start as soon as you're ready."

"Thank you" he said, extending a hand which Oliver gladly shook.


A couple of hours passed, and there was still no news on Lena's whereabouts. Oliver could see how helpless Kara felt as she stood on the balcony of the DEO by herself. For someone that had all the powers in the world, it wasn't very often that she came across a situation where she was unable to do anything. Oliver paced back and forth behind Winn, hoping that at any second they'd find something.

"The backseat driving isn't helping, Oliver" said Winn, clearly having noticed Oliver's presence behind him.

"Sorry, force of habit" replied Oliver, "I just don't want it to be true, for Kara's sake."

"None of do, man, but unfortunately, just like J'onn said, all the evidence says otherwise" said Winn, turning his chair to face Oliver.

"Something still seems off to me. I'm going to go check on Kara, call us if you find anything" said Oliver, as he walked over to Kara, "Are you okay?" he asked as he came up next to her.

"Not really. It's bad enough that all this is happening, but it hurts more that none of my friends trust me on this one."

"I'm your friend, and I trust you."

"Really?"

"I'd be lying if I was saying that the evidence isn't convincing, but you're right. There is something strange about the way this has all played out."

"Well, at least someone around here believes me."

"They all believe in you, Kara. None of them want this to be true either, but it might be. You have to prepare yourself for the possibility that things aren't the way they seem."

"This isn't a possibility for me, Oliver. Lena is innocent, I know it."

"I hope you're right."


Oliver splashed cold water on his face in his bathroom. It had been a day since the rescue of Lena Luthor by Kara and J'onn. 24 hours later, Oliver felt like the ordeal was affecting him in some ways. He always told others to prepare themselves for the worst, but in those moments, he couldn't fathom the thought of Kara perishing in the Kryptonite explosion. The feeling in those few seconds after the explosion went off when the comms were silent unnerved Oliver. He always said he didn't get unnerved, but in those moments, he did. He was as relieved as ever when he heard Kara's voice over the comms.

He wiped his face with a towel before exiting his room and making his way to the main control hub of the DEO. Kara had called it a day, so he was going to be on standby in case anything happened in National City. In the few days that he was here, he had enjoyed working with the DEO. He had almost become part of the organisation, as he was longer looked at as a guest by the agents around. He was several meters away from the main hub before Mon-El suddenly materialised right in front of him… In his underwear…

"Mon-El?" he said, totally confused as to what was going on.

"Hey…Oliver" replied Mon-El as he stood awkwardly with the whole DEO laying their eyes on him. The sheepish look on his face turned to anger in an instant, "I'm going to kill him."


Author's Note: As you can see, unfortunately Oliver's time on Earth-38 is coming to an end, but he has just one more thing he has to do before he leaves, and I'm sure you guys can guess what and who it is! Please leave a review guys :D
