Earth-38

National City

Kara's Loft

Kara tossed and turned the entire night, which would have been justified considering she couldn't stop thinking about everything Ben Lockwood had said to all of his followers on television. She decided trying to sleep wasn't going to do any good, so she decided to head to the kitchen and make herself a pot of coffee. As she slipped on her sandals, she remembered Oliver was in the living room, so she had to do her best not to wake him up.

She moved the curtain from her makeshift bedroom and started making her way to the kitchen-when she found out that Oliver was already up. He was in the kitchen flipping pancakes, which caused Kara to innocently blink. Never in her life did she think the Green Arrow would have been the domestic type. He was all about darkness and trying to save his city. But here he was, flipping pancakes and reading the newspaper that probably was on her doorstep. She leaned against the wall and studied him, a smile forming on her face. Oliver turned around to get something from the counter when he noticed Kara staring at him, which caused him to innocently clear his throat.

"Good morning," Oliver said as Kara cleared her throat.

"Good morning," Kara replied, her eyes going towards the food on the stove. "I see someone's been a little busy."

"I couldn't sleep, so I thought why not try to make pancakes," Oliver gave a light hearted shrug. "Besides, it's the least I can do for you letting me stay here." Oliver heard the coffee machine indicate that the coffee was ready, grabbing two cups from Kara's cupboard. He poured her a cup and handed it to her, giving her a warm smile in the process.

"Oh, thank you," Kara took the cup from him and added cream and sugar on the side. "You didn't have to make me breakfast, but that was very sweet of you."

"I also did your crossword puzzle from yesterday," Oliver motioned to the newspaper. "By the way, five-down is 'aglet'."

"I always wondered what those things on the shoes were called," Kara chuckled as she took a sip of her liquid gold. Kara placed the cup down and couldn't help but study Oliver a little more, wondering where the brooding superhero went, and where did this domestic man come from.

"What?" Oliver couldn't help but slightly chuckle.

"I don't know, I mean don't take this the wrong way, but when I hear all the stories Barry tells about you, I think of a brooding man saving people with a bow and arrow, all while hiding in the depths of his bunker," Kara softly smiled. "I never thought you had this side of you."

"I'm full of surprises, as I'm sure you are as well," Oliver replied. "Besides, Barry's only gotten to see the brooding man who saves people with bows and arrows."

"Well, I feel honored that I got to see this side of you," Kara honestly said. "It's...cute." Oliver couldn't help but blush as Kara spoke highly of him. Kara took another sip of coffee but this time it was dripping down her lip.

"Oh, you got some coffee right there…," Oliver grabbed a napkin and helped Kara get it off her face, but the two of them stared at one another almost as if they were in a trance. Oliver didn't know what was coming over him, but he was feeling his heartbeat quicken and his breath slightly hitch. Before ever of them could say anything, Kara's phone rang, causing the two of them to clear their throat and pretend the moment they just shared never happened. Kara grabbed her cellphone and placed it to her ear, with Oliver trying to find somewhere else to look.

"Hello?" Kara said. She felt her eyebrows furrow as the person on the other end kept talking. "Okay, we'll be right there." After a few moments Kara hung up, causing Oliver to notice the worried look on her face.

"Kara?" Oliver questioned.

"Um, that was Alex," Kara replied. "She said we have to go to the D.E.O. There's something for us to see."

"Does it have to do with the alien you found?" Oliver didn't want to ask, but he knew he had to.

"Yep, that same alien," Kara got up from her chair and made her way to her bedroom, immediately coming out as Supergirl after she disappeared behind the curtain. Oliver took this as his cue to suit up, prompting him to go the living room and grab the emerald mask that was on the coffee table.

Earth-38

National City

D.E.O.

It didn't take Kara long to make her way to the D.E.O. with her superspeed. Oliver on the other hand, decided to rent a motorcycle and follow Kara. He just didn't know how hard it was to keep up with her. As soon as Kara landed at the front door of the building, Oliver rolled up on his motorcycle, prompting Kara to turn around and stare at him. Oliver took off his helmet and raised an eyebrow, all while he was trying to catch his breath.

"Remember, superspeed...I don't have it," Oliver reminded her.

"Noted," Kara replied before the two of them entered the D.E.O. Some of the agents recognized Kara, but they had no idea who this emerald superhero walking through their halls was. However, they didn't seem to question it. If he was with Kara, then they knew he was someone that she trusted. Kara and Oliver made their way to Alex, seeing she was in one of the medical rooms. "Alex?" Alex turned around when her sister called for her, and Alex realized Kara wasn't alone.

"Supergirl, Green Arrow," Alex nodded her head as the two of them came in.

"You said you have something you wanted to tell me," Kara took a nervous breath as she said her statement.

"We did an autopsy on the alien that died," Alex grabbed a folder and handed it to Kara. "We compared it to the other alien deaths that happened in the last few weeks...and it's all the same M.O. The people who are killing them are very specific on how they're doing it. Also the hateful mark that was on the alien's forehead was burned into him...after he died."

"That is...extremely sick," Oliver felt his stomach flip.

"That's not even the worst part," Alex went into the clothes that the alien was wearing before he died and handed Kara a piece of paper. "After a thorough examination, we found this in his clothes." Kara took the paper and read it, ultimately handing it to Oliver with concern.

"The Children of Liberty," Oliver handed the paper to Kara.

"Who are 'The Children of Liberty'?" Kara pondered.

"We don't know yet," Alex sighed. "J'onn is looking for leads."

"Lockwood has to be sending them to kill the aliens," Oliver deducted. "The M.O. is the same-to wipe out the aliens so that there's only humans left."

"Even if it is true, we don't have any proof that he is," Alex said. "All we know so far is that he's some radical man spewing his prejudices on television. Nothing illegal about that."

"But he is talking to Lex Luthor, which makes him dangerous," Kara argued. "He just had him on his show. We have to stop him."

"Kara, I want to stop whoever is doing this as much as you do," Alex said. "And I do not like Lockwood in the slightest. But we can't go accusing people without providing any proof."

"Lex Luthor is dangerous, Alex," Kara argued. "Anyone that comes into contact with him suddenly become dangerous. He has weapons and…"

"...kryptonite," Alex finished Kara's thought. "I know he does. And you are right that Lex is a dangerous man. But he is also powerful and Lockwood probably wanted someone who is powerful and sees the same views as him on his T.V. show. For now, we can't link Lockwood to the murders, especially when we have a poster of 'The Children of Liberty' in his pocket." Kara furrowed her eyebrows and realized her sister had a point, causing her to let out an exasperated sigh.

"I need a breather," Kara walked out of the room to take a lap around the D.E.O. so she could think about what her next move was. Oliver stood there with concern, and even wondered whether he should voice his thoughts.

"Alex, permission to speak freely?" Oliver asked.

"I mean, I'm not your commanding officer or anything, so sure," Alex nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders.

"Something in my gut is telling me this Lockwood guy is dangerous," Oliver said. "I know my way around people like him, and I am 100% sure that he is responsible for the murders that are going on right now. He may not be actually doing them, but sending an army to do your dirty work is just as bad."

"In my gut, I know that you and Kara are right," Alex admitted. "But we can't arrest and bring in people based on our gut. We have to find concrete evidence. Right now, there's nothing linking him to the 'Children of Liberty'. He's just some hateful man on T.V. I want to find out who is doing this as bad as Kara does. But there is no way that we can get the answers we need."

"I know you're looking at this as every other case, but this case is different," Oliver said. "Kara's involved and she's scared, Alex. She has every right to be. They want all of this alien blood on her hands and I can see her slowly lose hope the more she hears answers that she doesn't want to hear."

"I get that, and it kills me too," Alex said. "But there's nothing much we can do right now. Not until we find something substantial." Alex noticed one of the agents motioning for her, which caused her to give Oliver a polite smile. "Excuse me." Alex made her way out of the room, leaving Oliver there in his thoughts. He knew Lockwood was involved, and he knew that Kara was just going to get more frustrated the more she heard no. He had to figure out a way to help her. Oliver walked over to the nearby computer and searched 'The Lockdown', wanting to know where it filmed. When he saw the address, he took an arrow from out of his holster and sharpened it, He knew what he had to do in order to get more information.

Earth-1

Star City

The Arrow Bunker

Felicity entered the Arrow Bunker grumbling to herself about how last night went. While she did enjoy the Italian restaurant, it would likely be the last time she went on a date with that particular man. The worst part was that she was going to have to go into work that morning and let Oliver know that once again he was right. She was sure that it was Oliver's jealousy speaking, but maybe he did know about the instincts and intentions of men. She was content with having a future without Oliver as her lover. She just wished finding someone that was as compassionate as he was wasn't so hard.

As Felicity put her stuff down, she realized there was something off, something…missing. Usually Oliver was the first person in the bunker, but he was nowhere to be found.

"Oliver?" Felicity called out, thinking maybe he was in the gym and for once in his life had headphones on. She never understood how Oliver could work out without the sound of music. It just seemed psychopathic to her. Felicity walked into the gym but still didn't see Oliver. That was when she started to get a little worried. "Oliver? Are you here?" Felicity walked back to the multiple computer monitors and looked on the desk, seeing if Oliver left a note of some sort.

Nothing.

She instantly grabbed her cellphone and called Oliver's number, but in old fashion, it went straight to voicemail. Now she was beginning to think there was a possibility that Oliver might have been kidnapped. Felicity dialed John Diggle's number, placing the phone to her ear with the utmost impatience.

Luckily, Diggle did pick up the phone.

"Hello?" Diggle sounded a bit groggy.

"Hey, have you seen Oliver?" Felicity wondered. "I came to the bunker this morning to let him know he was right about my date and he's not here. He's not even in his gym which by the way needs a makeover."

"Considering I haven't even left my bed yet, no I haven't seen Oliver," Diggle sighed. "Did he leave a note regarding where he was going?"

"If he did, I wouldn't be calling you," Felicity replied.

"I don't know, try calling Barry or something. Maybe Oliver's with him," Diggle suggested. "If he's not with Barry, then we can start panicking."

"Okay," Felicity agreed before hanging up the phone and rubbing her temples. "I highly doubt Barry is going to pick up the phone, so off to Central City I go." Felicity looked around the room and realized she was still the only one there, prompting her to pinch the bridge of her nose. "And I am simply talking to myself here." With that note, Felicity walked out of the room and made her way to the train station, hoping that Barry would have some answers pertaining to where Oliver went.

Earth-38

National City

The D.E.O

Kara didn't know what to think regarding who was behind all of the alien deaths. On one hand, There was a possibility that Oliver was right when it came to Ben being involved with The Children of Liberty. On the other hand, there was nothing linking them together at the moment, except for their radical way of thinking. All she knew was she needed some air, so she stood on the balcony while overlooking National City. She wasn't going to find all of the answers here, but she was determined to clear her head to help her figure out what to do next.

"I knew I'd find you up here," Kara turned around and saw Oliver standing behind her. "J'onn said you liked to come here and think."

"Yeah, It's usually a good place to clear my head," Kara admitted. "Especially when I'm so confused."

"What about?" Oliver stood next to her as the two of them stared ahead.

"About why aliens don't belong," Kara let out an exasperated sigh. "All my life, I've been told that aliens were different than humans, but I fail to see how. We experience pain, love, joy, sadness, anger. Just because we look different, it doesn't mean we aren't the same at the end of the day. So when someone spews some vendetta about how aliens are dangerous, it frustrates me. It makes me think that no matter what, we aren't good enough. Sometimes I just wish I could abandon Supergirl and just be Kara Danvers. Kara Danvers is human. She fits right in. Why stand out when you can stay in line with the others and never have to worry about someone trying to kill you simply for being different?"

"All of those aliens that are out and proud are there because of you," Oliver said. "They see how brave you are because you live your truth every single day. You don't hide, you fight. You fight for truth, justice and the American way, which means everyone gets a shot at a great life. You're the voice for people that can't speak up and even though Lockwood is trying to drown you out, you can't let him. You are more powerful than you know, whether you're Kara Danvers or Supergirl."

"But there are plenty of aliens that died, all because I refuse to back down," Kara felt her voice crack from her emotions.

"That's not on you," Oliver took a step towards her and stared into her eyes, causing Kara to softly look back at him. "Lockwood is manipulating you into thinking it is. In reality it's on him. You can't let his way of thinking win, because if you do then there's going to be no hope for the rest of us. Trust me, you have no idea how much hope you bring me, and don't tell Barry, but you're my favorite superhero because you see the good in everyone. You believe aliens and people alike deserve a second chance. You're incredible Kara, whether you're Supergirl or Kara Danvers. I don't want you to ever forget that." Kara continued staring into his eyes as if she was trying to find the words to say. Finally, she decided on simply showing gratitude since he didn't have to get as heartfelt as he did.

"Thank you, Oliver," Kara softly spoke. "I really needed to hear that."

"Good, because the next part of my plan can't happen without you," Oliver replied.

"What do you mean?" Kara raised an eyebrow.

"I found the location of where they film The Lockdown," Oliver couldn't help but give a smug smile. "What do you say we go pay Ben Lockwood a visit? Ruffle some feathers?"

"If I go as Supergirl, he's going to demand a head hunt on my head," Kara softly shook her head. "I can't do that."

"I'm not asking you to go as Supergirl," Oliver smirked. "Barry told me that you're a reporter for CatCo. Maybe try going as a reporter and ruffling his feathers that way?"

"And what are you going to do exactly?" Kara wondered.

"I could always hold an arrow against his jugular and demand some answers," Oliver suggested.

"No, I don't need everyone in National City thinking The Green Arrow is a bad guy," Kara chuckled. "I brought you here to help, remember?"

"But that is my way of helping," Oliver replied.

"I have a better idea," Kara crossed her arms with a cunning look. Oliver wasn't sure where Kara was going with this, but he was surprised when she grabbed him by the arm and led him back into the D.E.O.

20 minutes later, Kara stood outside of the private room that she told Oliver to change in, all while filling Alex in on the plan. Alex wasn't quite sure how this was going to go, but she did have to admit that it was a smart way to go about it.

"You mean to tell me Oliver, the guy who kills people with bows and arrows, was the one that suggested you go as a reporter to Lockwood's show?" Alex questioned.

"Isn't it brilliant?" Kara smiled. "Told you he was helpful."

"His idea was insightful," Alex gave her sister a suspicious look.

"What?" Kara innocently blinked as Alex couldn't help but smile.

"You think I haven't noticed the way you're complimenting Oliver, you going to him of all people for help, you even let him stay in your house," Alex pointed things out as Kara raised her eyebrows.

"What's your point?" Kara wondered.

"You like him," Alex smirked.

"What? I do not like him like that," Kara scoffed. "That's ridiculous."

"It's really not," Alex chuckled.

"Oliver and I are friends," Kara clarified. "Of course I'm going to compliment him and ask for his help. It would be rude of me to ask for him to come here and not at least offer a couch."

"Oh, he might transfer from the couch to your bed next," Alex gave her sister a grin.

"Not gonna happen," Kara replied. "Oliver and I are just friends, and there's nothing more to it. Besides, dating is overrated."

"Says the girl who was moon eyed over Mon-El for the last two years," Alex countered. "Kara, it's okay to move on and give someone else your heart. Don't guard it because things didn't work out with Mon-El. If that person happens to be Oliver, you have my full support." Kara was about to argue until she heard the door open. She noticed Oliver come out in a suit, which came equipped with a faux press pass. For a moment, Kara was absolutely speechless. She even had to admit the man standing in front of her looked extremely attractive. "Just friends. Sure, sis." Alex leaned towards Kara's ear and whispered. Kara hit Alex's hand that was resting on her shoulder, almost as if she was telling Alex to be quiet.

"So, what do you think?" Oliver wondered.

"I think you look great Oliver," Alex said. Oliver's eyes darted over to Kara, hoping that he could get her opinion.

"Kara?" Oliver said with uncertainty. "You're the expert. What do you think?"

"You look great," Kara smiled while taking in Oliver's outfit. "Definitely look like a news reporter."

"Good, that's what I'm going for," Oliver started making his way down the hall but not before turning around and motioning for Kara to follow him.

"Ready to go ruffle some feathers?"

"Yeah, just give me one second," Kara cleared her throat. She turned towards Alex and innocently blinked, hoping that Oliver wasn't listening behind her. "Why does he have to look so good in a suit?"

"Get him girl," Alex chuckled. Kara widened her eyes and turned around, making her way to Oliver and motioning for him to follow her. "Don't stay out too late, kids!" Alex jested, causing Oliver to turn around in confusion.

"What?" Oliver asked.

"Nothing, lets go," Kara briskly said, giving Oliver and Alex the chance to say no more.

Earth-1

Central City

S.T.A.R Labs

Barry Allen was what he liked to call himself the fastest man alive. But being the fastest man alive had his slow days. Sure, Barry's latest conquest was disarming a bomb and saving everyone inside a city bank, but it wasn't what he was used to. He was used to dealing with big bads of his own. The problem was, he hasn't heard from his big bad in a couple weeks, which was giving him a false sense of security. Of course Barry wanted to check if there was anything notoriously dangerous going on in the city, so he went to the control room where he found Cisco Ramon staring at the computer screen.

"Nothing yet?" Barry questioned from behind Cisco.

"Nope, and crime isn't going to happen faster the more times you ask," Cisco said.

"I just don't trust Cicada being this quiet for so long. Especially since all I'm doing these days are bank robberies and muggings," Barry groaned. "The sooner I find him, the sooner he can be stopped."

"Well it's gonna happen when it happens," Cisco replied. "Besides, we always find our bad guy and destroy them. How about you use this downtime to relax. You don't seem to do that anymore."

"Can you blame me?" Barry grumbled.

"I don't think any relaxing is going to be done for a while," a voice that was neither Barry or Cisco said. Barry turned around and saw Felicity standing behind him, but she seemed to be there more for business than pleasure.

"Felicity, what are you doing here?" Barry questioned.

"Barry, have you seen Oliver?" Felicity wondered. "He didn't show up to the bunker this morning and he hasn't picked up his phone."

"No, I haven't seen him," Barry replied. "He usually just shows up out of the blue. When did you last see him?"

"Last night," Felicity said. "We were talking about my date and I could tell he got upset."

"Don't worry, we're going to find him," Barry assured her. "Even if it takes all night."

"Whoa, this is weird." Cisco blurted out.

"What was weird?" Barry asked.

"An extrapolator was used last night," Cisco responded while making a few clicks on his keyboard. "It was in the Arrow bunker."

"That means Oliver is somewhere in the multiverse," Barry deducted.

"Why would Oliver travel through the multiverse?" Felicity seemed confused by Oliver's actions.

"I don't know," Barry responded in befuddlement. However, it appeared Barry had a thought. Oliver may not have traveled on his own, but he certainly had some help. "Is it possible that Kara was here? I mean she is the only one other than myself that has one."

"I can check if Kara's was used," Cisco said. When he finally clicked a few more keys he turned around in his chair and stared at Barry and Felicity. "Kara was here. I'm beginning to think Oliver is with Kara."

"Why would he be with her?" Felicity pondered.

"Something's going on," Cisco seemed suspicious. "It doesn't seem like Kara to run to Star City to pick up a vigilante."

"You're right, Cisco," Barry stared at Cisco with worry. "Why did Kara need Oliver's help?"
