A/N: Hello again everyone, I'm here with a brand new chapter. So last time, Kara gave into her romantic feelings for Oliver (ooh-la-la), and now Supergirl has a bigger target on her back.

Here we have the morning after Kariver's romantic encounter, and it's basically a bunch of fluff. But their newfound romance is still very complicated since there are other factors at play here. So, without further ado, here's the latest chapter. Hope you guys enjoy!


Earth-38
National City
Kara's Loft

Oliver lay sound asleep in pure bliss as the sun shone through the window and kissed the side of his face. He was able to sleep like a baby following the events of the night before, but when he opened his eyes and saw the other side of the bed was empty, Oliver wondered if what had happened was merely a dream. Oliver sat up in bed and smiled when Kara came to the bedroom with two cups of coffee in nothing but a long white T-Shirt.

Last night actually happened, Oliver thought to himself. He wasn't complaining one bit.

Kara slowly walked towards Oliver and handed him a cup of coffee, the two of them giving each other shy glances.

"Good morning," Kara softly said as Oliver took the coffee with a smile. "I made you coffee."

"I can see that," Oliver jokingly said while putting the cup to the side. "And good morning to you too." Kara sat down on the bed next to Oliver as he softly glanced at her. "So, about last night…"

"Yeah, that...that actually happened." Kara blushed as she looked down at the cup of coffee she had.

"Was it bad?" Oliver asked as Kara glanced at him. "Cause if it was that bad, I'm sorry...and…" Kara laughed softly before running a hand through his hair.

"No, it wasn't bad," Kara grinned. "It was actually amazing." Oliver innocently smiled as he continued staring into her eyes. "I had a really nice time last night."

"I mean you moaning is a better sound than you yelling at me, so I think last night was win," Oliver teased. Kara put her cup on the nightstand while Oliver tucked some of her hair behind her ears.

"So where did you learn all of that? Cause it's quite obvious you're an experienced lover," Oliver pulled Kara onto his lap as she straddled him, with Oliver placing his forehead on hers.

"Oh, I learned a thing or two along the way," Oliver cheekily replied.

"Is that the case?" Kara bit her lower lip while wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I mean, you did enjoy it last night, right?" Oliver pondered. Kara immediately nodded her head as Oliver chuckled. "So it is the case."

"Good," Kara muttered before pressing her lips to his. Oliver put a hand on the back of her head to pull her closer to him, with the two of them trying to forget the rest of the world. Kara parted her lips from his, knowing that they had to address the gigantic elephant in the room. "So, I think we should talk about what happened."

"We just did," Oliver appeared muddled.

"Not the sex part, Oliver," Kara playfully hit his shoulder before she became serious. "The feelings part." Oliver knew they had to talk about it sooner or later, with sooner being the better option.

"Yeah, we should," Oliver agreed. "I hope you don't think this was a one night stand thing, cause to me it wasn't."

"It wasn't for me either," Kara replied. "Honestly, I was holding back for a bit because my ex left me, got married and came back."

"Ouch," Oliver winced at Kara's revelation.

"Yeah, it did hurt for awhile," Kara admitted. "I thought I couldn't give my heart to anyone else for a long time."

"I don't blame you," Oliver agreed. "I would feel the same way."

"It was hard," Kara bit her lower lip. "But in a way my sister is right. I need to stop letting my ex control my emotions and I have to move on. Even if it means sleeping with vigilantes from another earth." Oliver chuckled at the last part as Kara laughed as well. She suddenly appeared serious as she felt the next part was going to be the hardest thing she was going to say."I really like you, Oliver. And no, it's not just the warm fuzzy feelings from the amazing sex talking."

"I really like you too, Kara," Oliver reciprocated. "And no, it's not he warm fuzzy feelings from the amazing sex talking either." Kara laughed as Oliver couldn't help but smile in return. "So, what do we call this?" Kara thought for a moment before biting her lower lip, not sure of the label she wanted to put on it.

"Well, let's just say it's something new and we can figure it out along the way," Kara said.

"Something new," Oliver repeated as he raised an eyebrow. "I like it."

"Good, me too," Kara answered before leaning in and giving him a kiss. Oliver passionately kissed her back as Kara moaned lightly against his lips. She looked at the clock from behind Oliver's head, before her eyes made contact with his. "Do you think we have time before we have to go to the D.E.O?"

"Oh we definitely have time," Oliver answered as he flipped Kara over and she let out an infectious laugh.


Earth-38
National City
The D.E.O.

Kara flew through the air as Oliver followed behind on the motorcycle towards the front of the building, but as Oliver followed Kara, he noticed she had made a quick detour to the side of the building. He tailed her with the motorcycle and parked it, giving her a muddled look as she smiled at him.

"Why didn't we just go inside the building?" Oliver gestured around the corner with his thumb.

"Because then I wouldn't be able to do this," Kara walked towards him and gave him a chaste kiss. Oliver responded with chaste kisses of his own before slowly pulling away. "I need to ask you for a favor."

"Sure," Oliver nodded his head.

"When we go in there, no forms of PDA, okay?" Kara suggested. "We're going to tell everyone at some point, but right now I just want to keep this between us. So can you do that for me?" Oliver understood where she was coming from and ultimately nodded his head.

"I can do that for you," Oliver agreed. "But you have to make it up to me later."

"Oh, and how can I make it up to you?" Kara playfully asked.

"By letting me take you out on a proper date," Oliver said. Kara couldn't say no to Oliver's request, and she responded by leaning in and giving him a kiss.

"I'd be honored," Kara giggled before kissing him one last time. "Come on, let's go." Oliver followed her to the front of the building but once again she hesitated. "By the way, follow my lead." Oliver wasn't sure what Kara was thinking before she opened the door and gave him a feigned look of anger. "I can't believe you went to go confront Lockwood as The Green Arrow!"

"Well I'm sorry for wanting to help you get information from Lockwood on The Children of Liberty!" Oliver matched Kara's tone as the two of them made their way to Alex and J'onn.

"There are other ways of getting information from him, we just have to be patient," Kara said. "Promise me you won't do it again."

"I promise!" Oliver replied.

"Good! Glad we settled that!" Kara turned her head and noticed Alex and J'onn staring at them with befuddled expressions. "Oh, hi guys. We didn't see you there."

"Well good morning to you too," Alex smirked. "So did you two hash things out?"

"Yeah, we had a long talk about it last night," Kara crossed her arms. "So what do you have for us?"

"We looked more into the reason Lockwood was fired as a history professor," Alex cleared her throat. "So apparently, he started spreading prejudice views in his studies because he was a victim of losing his home during the Daxamite crisis. The school couldn't have that, so they parted ways. Since then he's been on this warpath, and now that I'm beginning to connect the dots, I can see that he's probably responsible for all of the aliens dying."

"But we still can't exactly link him to it, can we?" Oliver questioned.

"We're working on that," Alex sighed. "Don't worry, we'll figure something out."

"Okay," Oliver nodded his head. "Do you have a computer, I want to look up the attacks of The Children of Liberty and analyze if there's a way we can pinpoint them back to Lockwood. Felicity taught me that you have to look at things even if they aren't exactly visible."

"Sure, computer's in the first room on the right," Alex said. Oliver nodded his head and motioned to Kara with his thumb.

"If you need me, I'll be there," Oliver told her before making his way to the computer room. Kara couldn't help but smile at him as he walked away, but quickly took the smile off her face when she faced Alex again.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Alex pondered.

"Sure," Kara and Alex walked into one of the medical rooms with Alex shutting the door behind her. "What's going on?"

"There's something different about you," Alex tried to pinpoint what it was as Kara turned around.

"What do you mean?" Kara questioned.

"There's this glow about you," Alex stared at her intently. "You look more relaxed and happy and...oh my god." Alex covered her mouth with her hand as Kara innocently blinked. "You had sex."

"Alex," Kara groaned.

"Was it with Oliver?" Alex slightly whispered as Kara shook her head.

"No, I did not have sex with Oliver," Kara lied. "A girl can't randomly pick someone up from the bar and have a little fun? Besides, after I spoke to Oliver last night, I took a breather."

"Oh you sure did," Alex smirked. "Well I'm glad you're at least moving on in that aspect from Mon-El."

"I mean, everyone's going to find out I'm an alien at some point, so I might as well have fun now," Kara shrugged her shoulders. She suddenly became quiet before glancing at Alex with sadness. 'I want to apologize for yesterday. I never should have brought up Maggie when we were talking about Oliver."

"It's okay," Alex assured her. "You were right though. I don't have a right to control your love life. I just...I see the way Oliver looks at you, it's soft, it's caring, it's...the real Oliver. And I know you're sleeping with other guys so you can forget about your feelings for him, but at some point, you have to face them head on...or else it's going to be too late. I'm sorry if I pushed too much. When you are ready to talk about your feelings for Oliver, I will be here. And I will listen without trying to push you two together. I just want to see you happy, Kara. That's all I would ever want from my sister." Kara smiled before giving Alex a hug, squeezing her tightly as she let out a deep breath.

"I love you," Kara softly spoke.

"I love you too, Kara," Alex squeezed her once more before the two girls parted their hug. Their moment was interrupted when a siren starting blaring, prompting Alex to run to the nearby computer. "There's a Children of Liberty sighting."

"Where?" Kara asked.

"The park," Alex turned towards Kara and gave her a smirk. "Go get Oliver and stop them." Kara nodded her head and walked out of the room, noticing that Oliver was already making his way towards her.

"J'onn told me we got a sighting," Oliver explained.

"Yep, let's stop them before they hurt another alien," Kara raised an eyebrow and gave a smirk.

"Suit up," Oliver said while placing his green hood over his head.

"That literally gave me chills," Kara gave a dramatic shudder with the two of them walking out of the D.E.O.


Earth-38
National City
National City Park

Kara zoomed through the air towards National City Park before landing and looking around with seriousness. It was a little too quiet for her taste, but she was sure they were here. Before she could go any further...she had to wait for Oliver and his ridiculously slow motorcycle. She looked down at her pretend watch as she patiently tapped her foot, and not long after she gestured as such, Oliver zoomed down the street and parked his motorcycle by the park. He got off and adjusted his emerald mask, walking towards Kara with conviction.

"Nice of you to join me," Kara smirked as Oliver couldn't help but smile himself.

"Superspeed...still don't got it," Oliver responded in his gruff 'Arrow' voice.

"I know," Kara chuckled as she looked around. "Do you see anything?"

"Not anything so far," Oliver replied. "Are you sure it was here?"

"Alex said it was," Kara replied. Before she could respond, she heard something from across the park, almost as if someone was screaming for help. "They're at the South-side entrance. Someone's screaming for help. They're probably torturing them!"

"Got it," Oliver nodded his head and raced towards the opposite side of the park with Kara in tow. It didn't take long for either of them to get there, but when they did, they saw what was probably Kara's worst fear; they were ready to kill another alien.

"Hey! Back off!" Kara yelled as she used her heat vision to distract the Children of Liberty. They all turned around and noticed Kara preparing to fight them and Oliver holding a bow and arrow in a threatening manner. "I don't know who taught you that you hurt people that are different from you, but where I come from, we accept everyone!"

"Supergirl…, I knew you would show up…," A voice said as Kara appeared muddled. Even Oliver lowered his bow slightly when he heard the person talk. Kara and Oliver saw someone come out from the Children of Liberty shadows decked out in what looked to be a supersuit and a gold head piece, and wondered who was he. They had never seen him before. "You never could stop helping people in need."

"Who are you?!" Oliver shouted, once again pointing his weapon.

"Who I am...doesn't concern you..," The man didn't acknowledge Oliver's presence as his eyes were glued to Kara. "However, my presence does concern Supergirl. She has caused enough chaos and destruction in National City. Because you're here, aliens are dying. Just like this one."

"Don't you dare hurt her!" Kara yelled.

"It's simple," The man shrugged his shoulders. "All you have to do is go away. If you go away, we stop killing aliens. If you don't, then they all die. It's your choice Supergirl."

"I am not going to leave National City just because you want me to," Kara stood her ground. "National City is my home and I am going to protect my home from people like you."

"Well, I can't say I didn't warn you," The man replied as he turned towards the army of people behind him. "My children...kill the alien."

"Not on our watch," Oliver said, releasing the arrow from his bow. The bow hit the arm of one of the Children of Liberty closest to the alien, causing the one minion to let out a yell. Oliver took another bow out of his arsenal and shot the other Child of Liberty that was on the alien's left side, with that one falling over in pain.

"Okay, new plan," The man said, prompting all of his 'children' to look at him. "Forget that alien for the moment...and kill Supergirl." The Children of Liberty wasted no time taking out machine guns in order to shoot her. Kara didn't appear concerned, but she knew Oliver could have gotten seriously hurt if he was in the crossfire. She immediately zoomed in front of Oliver and held out her cape almost as a shield, giving the Children of Liberty the opening to shoot her. The staccato of bullets rushed towards Supergirl, but all of the bullets started bouncing off her and hitting the ground. The man realized Supergirl was bulletproof, and they couldn't touch her with mere machinery. Even Oliver had forgotten that Kara was bulletproof prior to this moment, and he was extremely happy that she was.

"So what's the plan?" Kara asked Oliver quietly.

"Well, I was thinking Italian or maybe Chinese," Oliver responded.

"What?" Kara appeared muddled at Oliver's answer.

"Oh, I was talking about our date tonight," Oliver replied.

"Oliver, we're in the middle of a gun fight!" Kara reminded him.

"What? I'm multitasking," Oliver tried to reason. Deep down, Kara thought it was adorable, but it wasn't the time or place for Oliver's cuteness. Kara didn't get a chance to respond when the man had grabbed her from behind and attempted to drag her away. Kara could have easily broke free, but for some reason she was feeling weak. That was when she realized, the green bracelet the man was wearing was laced with Kryptonite. Kara felt herself getting weaker, and there wasn't much Oliver could do without hurting her. "Supergirl!"

"Oh yes, we have Supergirl right where we want her, don't we?" The man taunted Oliver as Kara continued to struggle.

"You're hurting her, let her go!" Oliver took an arrow and pointed it towards the man, although the man didn't seem amused by Oliver's retort.

"Me hurting her is kind of the point," The man said. Kara realized Oliver was left wide open, and she wasn't the only one. The man grabbed one of the guns that had a round yet and fired it towards Oliver, causing tears to come to Kara's eyes.

"NO!" Kara yelled in the midst of her Kryptonite poisoning. However, a streak of lighting ran in front of Oliver, revealing that the bullet had landed on the floor next to him. Oliver had a hunch of who that could of been, but he didn't think it was possible.

"No way," Oliver muttered. He saw the streak of lightning circle the man and Kara, and again to Oliver. Oliver realized he suddenly was holding Kara in his arms, meaning his suspicions were correct. Before he could say anything, he was carried away by the streak of lightning, prompting the man to yell in frustration. He turned around towards his minions, hoping he could release some frustration on the other alien they just captured.

"Kill her," The man simply said. The minions went to the alien and did his dirty work, with the only sound in the park being the alien screaming while taking her last breaths.

The streak carried Oliver and Kara to the other end of the park and released them there, with Kara coughing as she tried to fight the effects of the Kryptonite off. She heard the piercing scream from the alien and wanted to yell, but all she could do was let out a soft cry. She had let the alien down. Another one had died because she couldn't stop it. The death count was up to eleven.

"Kara," Oliver softly said as Kara quickly wiped the tears from her face. "I'm sorry we couldn't save her."

"He...he had Kryptonite," Kara shakily replied.

"I know," Oliver said. "It's in that bracelet he was wearing."

"He almost killed me," Kara added.

"But he didn't," Oliver told her.

"He almost killed you," Kara finally looked him in the eye while trying not to fall apart.

"He didn't. I'm still here," Oliver let out a sigh.

"The question is...how?" Kara couldn't help but wonder. That was when the both of them stared at the person who saved them. It was none other than Barry, and all he could was stare at them with concern. "B...Barry?"

"Barry, what are you doing here?" Oliver pondered.

"I could ask you the same thing," Another voice said, causing Oliver to spin around and notice Felicity glancing at him from the side.

"Felicity?" Oliver once again spoke.

"Apparently I came at a good time," Barry said, which made Oliver shake his head at Barry's thought.

"Barry, you shouldn't be here," Oliver said.

"And why not?" Barry scoffed. "Apparently you're here."

"Because Kara asked for my help," Oliver explained. "There's some mad man that wants to kill her, simply because she's an alien. It's like the Nazi period all over again. This guy has to be stopped because he's dangerous."

"And you thought I couldn't help stop him?" Barry looked at Kara as he asked the question.

"Barry, you're too pure and good," Oliver said. "You could have been taken advantage of because of it. I needed to be here because I know guys like him. I've dealt with the worst possible pain imagined. I spent five years on an island which was where I had to become something that I wasn't sure I could be. So, yes, there was a reason you weren't asked. Was this the reason that you came all this way, or was there another agenda in mind?"

"Why would there be another agenda?" Felicity questioned.

"Because you're here," Oliver mentioned. "Kara has legions of people that are good at computers and can crack firewalls. Barry brought you here for something else. It was to spy on me, wasn't it? Mainly because your precious date was that awful?"

"Yes my date was terrible, Oliver," Felicity admitted. "But I can't believe you think I of all people don't want to help you. Whatever this is, you and Kara can't fight it on your own, especially if that man has Kryptonite laced somewhere in his costume. You need our help, and we want to help you."

"You want to help?" Oliver scrunched his eyebrows. "If you want to help, you would have stayed at Star City, helping Dig and the others fight crime there. I had this handled."

"Oliver," Kara finally said, prompting him to stare at her. "Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing if we had Barry and Felicity's help. Barry did just save both of our lives after all." Oliver knew Kara had a point, and he knew this was one argument he wasn't going to win. Oliver finally relented and nodded his head, which perked up Barry's attitude.

"Okay," Oliver softly said. "But where the hell are they going to sleep?"

"The D.E.O. has extra beds, I'm sure Alex and J'onn can accommodate them," Kara reasoned.

"So it's settled," Barry nodded his head. "I'm going to need to be briefed in on everything you know about this guy. If he wants to create his own army, then we need an army of our own." Oliver knew deep down Barry was right, but there was a nagging feeling he was having regarding the both of them being there. Was Barry really there because he wanted to help Oliver and Kara fight, or was there another reason?


Earth-38
National City
The D.E.O.

Once Kara, Oliver, Barry and Felicity got back to the D.E.O., Oliver filled Alex and J'onn in on the happenings at the park. Alex knew they had to worry about The Children of Liberty, but now they had their leader, and Alex wasn't sure if she was prepared for what was going to be said next.

"There's someone else?" Alex pondered.

"We don't know his name, but he knows an awful lot about Kara," Oliver crossed his arms. "He lured her into a false sense of security by having her shield me with bullets. So when she was finally distracted, he grabbed her and tried to poison her with Kryptonite."

"Is she okay?" Alex wondered.

"She will be," Oliver sighed. "After she gets over the initial shock that another alien died. She's blaming herself pretty hard."

"This isn't her fault," Alex softly said. "I should talk to her."

"Um, may I talk to her? Privately?" Oliver hoped that he could truly see her in her vulnerable state. Alex nodded her head with a small smile, motioning towards the balcony.

"Oliver?" Alex said as Oliver started to leave. Oliver stopped in his tracks and noticed Alex smiling at him, almost as if it was some form of approval. "Thank you for everything you're doing for my sister. I'm glad she can count on you."

"Of course," Oliver gave a smile of his own before he continued on his way. Oliver noticed Kara was standing on the balcony again, knowing that she needed some time to breath. However, he wanted to see if she needed him in that moment. "Kara?" Kara turned around and motioned for Oliver to join her with her head, Oliver accepting the invitation. As soon as Oliver stood next to her, Kara leaned her head on his arm. "I would ask if you're okay but I know you're not."

"She died, and I couldn't save her," Kara's voice broke as she glanced into Oliver's eyes. "I was there, and I couldn't save her."

"That's not on you," Oliver told her. "You didn't know that man was going to have Kryptonite."

"I swear that's Lockwood, and that Lex is supplying him with Kryptonite," Kara said although she seemed confused. "But this doesn't seem like Lex's M.O. He doesn't just willy nilly help people. He's playing the long game."

"As soon as we find out what it is, we will stop him, together," Oliver wrapped one of his arms around Kara's shoulder, rubbing her arm lightly. "I promise."

"Oliver?" Kara said which garnered his attention. "I know I said no PDA but...can you just hold me for awhile?"

"I can do that," Oliver promised her, wrapping his arms around her and pressing a light kiss to the top of her head. However, he didn't realize Barry had witnessed everything, and Barry's suspicions were proven to be correct.

Oliver and Kara were in love with each other.


Earth-38
Kaznia, Russia

While Ben Lockwood and his minions created havoc on National City, Lex Luthor had his own plans on taking down Kara. Sure, he was happy to give Lockwood the band of Kryptonite to weaken Supergirl, but he needed something that would cause Supergirl to absolutely break. While speaking about Supergirl being Public Enemy #1 was enough for some, most others didn't believe it, and they still worshiped her. With this latest plan, he hoped they no longer did.

Lex walked into a small hut, closing the door behind him. He saw a young woman staring out the window as the snow fell heavily, with Lex furrowing his eyebrows with interest.

"I'm back...Red Daughter," Lex said, prompting the young woman to turn around. The thing was...the young woman looked exactly like Kara. "Gather your things, we're going on a little trip."

"Where?" Red Daughter spoke in a thick Russian accent.

"National City in the United States," Lex smirked as Red Daughter naively glanced at him. She wasn't prepared for the words Lex was going to say next. "I have a mission for you."
