Chapter 42:
Zeus stood before his people, in the main room. The Fortress siphoned off enough energy which would level National City in one fell shot. Zeus turned to the few remaining Sons of Zeus who had not been guarding the Fortress. They all bowed before their father.
"There are non-believers, who think a figure worthy of worship, is some blonde harlot who fell from the heavens. But, I can assure you, the world of mortals will understand that only I will rule them. And Supergirl will suffer a similar fat of that of Icarus."
"Sorry to cut the evil villain monologue short…."
The Flash rushed in and took down the guards with a fluid series of attacks. One of them almost nailed her with a shot from the gauntlet. Brianna dodged around and flipped over the goon, before she slammed him down to the ground. Another rapid fire series of punches rocked the goon and sent him flying.
Zeus's eyebrow raised and he sent a blast of lighting towards Brianna. Brianna had been slammed down to the ground.
"There's no one who dares stand up to Zeus."
Brianna charged herself and sent a blast of lightning back at Zeus. A shield of energy wrapped around Zeus and rendered Flash's attacks to be someone unimpressive. She took a deep breath when she dropped down to the ground.
"He's got that weapon, we won't be able to get near him," Brianna said.
"I know what it is," Oliver said. "It's a weapon that HIVE had. If you can distract him, I can get it away from him."
"Right, I'll do my best."
Flash jumped into the battle once more. Zeus super charged his lightning rod and it erupted against the ground. Whether or not he hit any of his downed goons, Zeus obviously had no concern for them. All he cared about was the Flash and taking them down completely.
"Come on, you're really Zeus?" Flash asked. "You really think you can hit me with that thing."
Zeus blasted Flash several more times, or rather tried to. Flash out sped the lightning.
"For a god, you have a lot of grey hair. Surely, the all powerful Zeus could stop the nasty effects of aging."
"You will pay for your insolence!" Zeus bellowed.
Oliver stopped and heard someone in the next room. An increased heart beat and a lightning rod powered up. Kara mentioned her friend and unless Oliver had been completely off the mark, said friend had been about ready to be killed in Zeus's mad attempt to bring a goddess out of her.
Lena watched everything flash before her in an instant. Well, she was going to die like this. So much for that.
A blur shot in front of her and took the bolt of lighting. The surprised scientists had been shocked when the figure in the hood overloaded the machine. Along with taking down the four guards and the two scientists with well placed punches to the heart which shot down all of their bodily functions in one fell hit.
The lightning made Oliver tingle and supercharged his body. Several more guards rushed into the room. And they had been taken down by a sonic attack.
Sara stepped into the room, although not the Sara Oliver knew. She stopped short and stared at Oliver for a long few seconds.
"Go stop Zeus, I'll ask questions about this later," Sara said. "Don't worry, Lena's safe with me."
"Right," Oliver said.
Oliver sped into the next room just as Zeus had taken Brianna to her knees. An uppercut punch broke through Zeus's shield and Oliver said.
"You dare put your hands on the great Zeu….argh!"
Oliver stabbed Maxie Zeus as hard as possible and drew blood from him. The two remaining guards, stepped back in shock only for Sara-38 to violently take them down with a vicious attack.
"For a god, you bleed," Oliver said. "A lot!"
Zeus collapsed to the ground, dead from his injuries. The spear in his hand overloaded and shot a bolt of energy which Oliver had to yank Sara out of the way from.
Unfortunately, the bolt hit one of the controls and sent Zeus's little Sky Fortress out of the sky.
"Supergirl, and Wonder Woman, please tell me you have this!" Oliver yelled.
Sara, Lena, Brianna, and Oliver departed to the nearest escape pod while they left Zeus and his legions of guards, most of them dead, to go down with the ship.
Supergirl dove underneath the Fortress. It was like a mountain which would slam down into the city. Zeus's attempts to destroy National City, his demented prophecy, it would be revealed. But, only if Kara stopped it from happening and she would not allow Zeus to destroy her home.
"Help me steer it!" Diana yelled.
A small explosion and Kara found herself staggered. The power cells, made entirely of Kryptonian, spilled radiation almost directly into Kara's face. Kara drug her nails into the side and despite the Kryptonian flooding her body, the needs of many outweighed her comfort level.
The fortress broke in half, with the Kryptonite shrads almost impaling Kara. She avoided it just narrowly as she deposited the Fortress in the ocean.
A weakened Kara collapsed on the pile of rubble. She breathed heavily, with each painful jab going through her body. Oh the Kryptonite was a killer for her.
A pair of strong hands pulled her out of the water and pulled Kara back to shore and away from the Kryptonite. A vortex opened up and the pieces were sent to a dead Earth where they would not be able to harm Kara or any other Kryptonian.
"Thank you."
Delirious and dazed, Kara collapsed in the Hood's arms but not before she planted a very light kiss on his lips. That was all she could manage.
Diana returned, along with Lena, Sara, and Brianna. Oliver carried Kara away from the fortress. Things could have gone much worse.
After Lena had gotten a clean bill of health, she turned to Sara, who had offered to escort her back home. She stopped and faced the young man who had literally taken a bolt of lightning for her.
"I'm in your debt," Lena said. "And you're not from around here, are you?"
"No, I'm not," Oliver said. "It's…."
"You can tell me later, once everything's calmed down," Lena said. "But, if you need anything while you're here, anything at all, I'll be happy to help you."
Without another word, Lena threw her arms around Oliver and kissed him on the lips. With more energy than Supergirl did. She turned to Supergirl and gave her a knowing smile before she moved off with Sara.
The DEO arrived, and Oliver just smiled. In came Alexandra Danvers of this Earth, Earth-38. She stopped short and Kara motioned for her to come over. The two spoke to each other, in an undertone. If Oliver had to guess, and perhaps he was wrong, perhaps he was right, the two of them are sisters.
"So, you're the one who saved her," Alex said. "Thank you...she's...a treasure."
Kara just smiled, and tried to look modest. Oliver looked at her and winked and Kara took a deep breath.
"I know she is," Oliver said.
It was very hard for Kara to keep her ego in check here. The last thing she wanted to develop on top of everything else was a super ego.
"If you...I'd like to see you back at the DEO for some questions," Alex said. "Because, obviously, you're not from around here."
"Well, that's an interesting story, Ms. Danvers," Oliver said.
Alex had been gobsmacked about how this mysterious man knew her name. He, the alternate Wonder Woman, and the Speedster were travelers of some sort. But why were they here? Alex wanted to know. Whether or not, she would get any answers, Alex had no clue.
"We'll be honored to answer anything, with reason," Oliver said. "We'll come back with both you and your sister."
Alex and Kara looked very gobsmacked. And Lena just had a quizzical look on her face, happening to overhear the Hood's statement. Although, for some reason, Sara-38 did not get too surprised.
Conversations which would have to happen later, Sara figured out. Something happened before Sara continued that line of thought.
She received a phone call. With a casual wave, Sara excused herself. The woman who called her was not one to keep waiting. And likely, the news of Zeus's rampage on National City had spread outside of the city by now.
"Hey," Sara said. "Yeah, Liv, I'm fine. Talk to you soon, providing you don't drop off the face of the Earth again."
Oliver knew he should not pry. However, his interest had been grabbed very carefully. He wondered about a couple of things about this Earth.
Emmy suggested this Earth for a reason, and well, Oliver knew she had her reasons for a lot. Time to see what they could learn about this alternate Earth. While some faces were the same, others were different. And Oliver looked forward to uncovering every inch of this planet and most importantly, the many lovely women on it.
Alex meanwhile stared at Oliver Queen. There was something about this man which made Alex want to keep him close by for observation purposes. One look at Kara's eyes indicated she had been quite taken by him, and Oliver seemed like the type of man who would take as many women into his bed as possible.
Oh, Alex had to respect someone who took charge, man or woman. She had to so many times after all.
"We'll be happy to answer any questions you have," Oliver said.
"I might have a few," Alex said. "But, let's get….Supergirl checked out…."
"Of course," Oliver said. "And I'm sure you have more than enough to clean up here."
Oh, that was putting it mildly. At least they found a good chunk of Lex Luthor's secret anti-Superman weapons. They had been shoved into Zeus's fortress.
"So, this has already been an adventure," Brianna summarized. "Why do I have a feeling things are just beginning?"
"Very likely the case," Diana answered. "So, what do you think?"
"This will be another journey," Oliver said.
"And you've already gotten off to a nice start," Brianna said.
Diana snorted, understatement to end all understatements really.
Already, he had made quite the impression a few of the locals, including some alternate versions of women Oliver already had in his collective. He moved past Brianna and Diana to check on Kara. Who sat up in the bed and looked at Oliver with a bright smile.
"Feeling better?" Oliver asked.
Oh, Kara shook her head. Alex finally gave her a clean bill of health, although she insisted Kara would rest here for the evening. Zeus must have stolen half of Lex's secret stash, and not just the Kryptonite.
"I'm coherent enough to know that kiss I gave you was crap," Kara said. "So…."
"Oliver, Oliver Queen."
This caused Kara to raise her eyebrow.
"Hmmm, interesting," Kara murmured to herself. "Guess you knew who I was from the start. Along with the fact Alex and I are sisters."
"I'm good at picking up body language and non-verbal cues," Oliver said.
Oh, the looks on the faces of Katya and Lexi when Oliver told them they were actually sisters on this alternate Earth would be glorious. He got much internal enjoyment at the thought.
"Well, that's interesting," Kara said. "Thank you….I'm just….thank you…."
Oliver silenced Kara with a kiss. Which Kara returned. This kiss was far better than the first one. Which Oliver would not hold against Kara because she had been poisoned. And since Kara wore nothing but a hospital gown, this allowed Oliver's hands to freely explore Kara's firm flesh. Kara's legs were lovely and judging by the sound she made, she enjoyed Oliver's exploration of them.
"What if I hurt you?" Kara urgently asked.
"Oh, I've slept with two Kryptonians before, much more developed in strength than you are," Oliver said. "You'll be fine."
He did appreciate Kara's concern. That was just the type of person she was. Oliver deepened the kiss and Kara grew in confidence the more she explored Oliver's muscular frame.
