Fortress of Solitude

Lillian wakes up. Not so surprised to be greeted by Kara. Both standing metres in front of her. Lillian behind bars.

"You don't even realise. Do you?". Lillian facially expresses a smile. "I'm a public figure who's disappearance will concern the people of National City. Kara Danvers".

Kara didn't drop any feeling in her. She continued to stare at her blankly. Posture of anger, tempted to wiping her out.

"You're pissed. Aren't you?". Kara didn't reply. "Yes. You should be. This is how I'll make you and your kinship suffer. By killing everyone you love. Your foster mother. Your guardian angel, Alex". Kara's eyes glow, reacting to Lillian's taunting. "I dare you". Supergirl is close to the line, but a part of her just wavered her off. Either the sound of her boyfriend's voice, or her ego. "You can't do it. Can't you?".

Oliver, same dress, walked to side with his girlfriend.

"Is he locked up?", Kara asked, suss out Oliver's presence.

"He is. Like you told me to do", said Oliver. Years ago, Batman installed a systematic integral of red sun. Himself and Superman used it on many occasions. Times when Batman fought Superman, under Poison Ivy's control. Even fought other Kryptonians like a corrupted Kryptonian known as Superman's Doomsday. Now it's vaulted in place for Lillian's creation to rot in.

Kara briefs a smile with Oliver, before the two turn to Lillian, who treats a menacing look.

"So what're we wending in her situation?", Oliver asked.

"She'll remain in here"

"Fool", Lillian called. "The world's against Supergirl. How can you continue to abroad your pick-up crusade when you know it in you that they hate Supergirl? They're all rooting for a new Superman in their planet".

"Speaking of Superman", Oliver lined, caught by Lillian's attention. "It's unremarkable to clone Supergirl into a offspring of a male. Tell us. Who's fatherly heritage did you affix with?".

Lillian's personage never donated to sharing her ideals, but since it's only about a created man, whom failed, Lillian has no track in keeping this a secret.

"You're her boyfriend?", Lillian conducted, nonsense of Oliver's main question. "I'm astounded that a man in your humane feats could ascension a risk in saving a god from her terrible dreams. More chanced in acquiring a sample of DNA from yours, while you were in your seeping into her dreams". Supergirl and Oliver stunned.

"Can't be", said Oliver, abruptly. Glancing to Kara. "He's...".

"Our son", Kara completed.

The couple never breached a time that they would get pregnant. They wanted to play it their own game. Instead, they were being regulated by someone with higher power to use their genetics to breathe a new sapien, natures of half Kryptonian.

"Is that even possible? Some sci-fi bullshit going that far to extract a code of mine to concede as part of a born-life. And going that far to speed his age"

Kara wasn't going to say a word to him. Oliver's in a canister of eons of thoughts. Oliver was close to taking his bow out, but a beeping vibrated atop him.

"What now?", Kara demanded, compressing her distress. Latter gazes on a device. Extrapolator. Someone is calling Oliver. Oliver taps on it, answering the call.

"Hello?". Familiar voice signs his call.

Oliver instances a shake in the head to Kara, signature her that it's a friend he needs to talk to.


"Hello?", same man, spoken in tone, repeats.

"Barry?", Oliver called back. After distancing himself from Lillian's eyes, and ears.

"Oliver? Oh you're okay"

"I am. And I'm in the middle of something. And I'm assuming that you didn't call me just to vigour in my status"

Oliver didn't mind Barry calling him. If he needed his help on a case, he was one call away. Latter entrusted his friend with a copy of an extrapolator. As he swayed a few copies.

"There is. You see. Felicity. Your sister. And Laurel. Are visiting Central City to confront me any news resolved around you"

Oliver shouldn't be too blown about it. Revelations were induced in news, from Oliver's Earth, deals arousing who the man in hood was. It's no surprise Felicity would closely peek into it. She's seen the Flash and the Arrow in action several times in the past. If Oliver continues to stay in same world he's in, he won't be able to stop Barry from going into a peak of extension by the hands of the dreaded trio. Laurel's deadly-plead glare. Thea's unknown threat. And Felicity, one of Barry's deadliest females to ever oppose him of leaking truths. Her interrogation rivals Batman's standards, just not in brutal ways. Oliver can't afford to let anyone else in on his secret, from his world.

"I'm coming"


Lillian and Kara continued to exchange eye-lines between them. Lillian, in her end, persisted in taunting her enemy.

Kara, sheer of seconds, heard Oliver's footsteps.

"How'd it go", Kara asked, met with Oliver's posture worsened. "Didn't go so well".

Oliver allays his head down. Sapping in taught to having to introduce himself to his former team.

"Something is going on in my world", Oliver deemed, worrying Kara. "My friends. My ex-friends", Oliver corrected. "They're heading to Central City, to interrogate Barry to hinder out the truth of my disappearance. I have to go back". This is the worst case scenario for the both of them. They just learnt that they conceived a child with no permission. And now Oliver's ex-allies are soon gonna find out his story of why he left his city.

"Go. I can wait. Don't worry about me", Kara assured, to him.

Oliver, ignoring his self-amazement, plants a kiss on Kara. Taking the extrapolator out, in a unlighted phase from Lillian, who is curious in Oliver's act of wandering off.

Boom tube opens, Oliver walks into it.


Earth-1

Central City

S.T.A.R. Labs

Barry positions the same stand he takes, like he commenced in the past few months of visioning his dream team. His vision faints off by the sound of a boom tube. Oliver appears out.

"Oliver?"

"Are they here?", Oliver questioned.

Footsteps were heard nearby, nearing to same room Oliver and Barry are in.

Oliver and Barry analyse the open-way hatch. Three people disembark from the pale shadows. Thea, Felicity and Laurel.

"Ollie?!", Thea cried. Running up to clash a hug with her brother. "I knew you were alive this whole time. I knew it! Don't ever scare me like that!".

Oliver hints his share of smile, assuring her that he'll always stay safe. Looking upwards, Oliver perceives his sight in Laurel and Felicity. The two ladies display a smile. Oliver, in his hands, wasn't keen in phasing any implement of a smile. His violent glare. Soon noticed by them both.

Oliver Queen never lived to actually predict his team to finally rouse in his appearance to come. He definitely believed that they didn't come all the way from Star City to Central City just to meet him. They unselfishly desire something from him. Man wasn't grateful that they had to meet in a time like this. But he took it boldly. Forsaking his secret of Kara. And the multiverse. Sometimes sacrifices are depicted. For the better. Regardless of Kara never depriving an agreement to keep it such a wholesome secret.

What Oliver went, in his inner journey with Kara, is the beginning of a long tree.
