They all gathered a few moments later at Star Labs, with all their equipment, weapons and all suited up, except for Oliver. They revised theirs plan, with Kara still unsure how she felt about it. Oliver had some crazy idea about disguising himself so he could get into Cadmus Lab, and she got really worried for his safety. But then, she remembered he spent the last 5 years surviving the unthinkable, so she felt a bit better. She trusted him to be safe out there, after all.
Cisco opened the breach and everyone stepped in, going to Earth 38, some of them for the last time.
They arrived on Earth 38 in an empty garage. Alex had no idea where they were, since it was really dark so Barry ran fast around the build to see if it was safe. He saw no one around; they were in the middle of some huge field, with only trees and grass around them. Kara recognized the place, it was the same field she met Barry for the first time, when he got her shirt on fire. They were safe.
Kara went to find Lena Luthor, to ask for her help. Oliver was going to wait to meet her mom face to face, passing as a Russian that wanted to work with her. Thea and Barry were going to have his back as he would gather information about their exact plans, and to find their weakness. Barry, Firestorm and Ray offered to fly in, hiding, but it was better to get the info from the inside, instead of taking a risk of getting exposed.
The rest of the team would wait for more instructions. Their plan depended of this first part to work. Kara took them to LCorp by foot, trying to hide as much as they could. Luckily for them they only have to jump behind cars and walls a few times. They were behind a huge statue of the Mayor when Kara kissed Oliver goodbye as they reached the LCorp building across the street and wished him good luck. Oliver got out of hiding, sitting on a bench on the sidewalk waiting. He was dressed like a Russian, thanking God he could speak perfectly in the language and with a perfect accent. He also had his Russian mafia Bratva to help if he needed it, so it was all cool.
Kara managed to enter Lena's office quite easily. She felt relived because she thought it was going to be surrounded by agents, since her mom was the owner of Cadmus, but it was surprisingly empty. There was just her usual staff working; they never saw her coming as she used super speed to get there.
- Oh My God, Supergirl! – The brunette said as she entered the place and saw Supergirl standing there, nervous. – I hope you are well; they are looking for you everywhere.
- I'm fine, thanks Lena – She said smiling nicely to her – And I know it. I can't tell you were I was, I just really need your help. I need to find where Cadmus is, and I need you to call your mom here.
- Ok… And why? – She said suspiciously – Are you trying to hurt her or something?
- No, of course not. I'm trying to close Cadmus down for good. I have back up, cannot say who – she told before Lena could ask her about it – I just need you to trust me.
- I do trust you, Supergirl… And I will help you. You saved my life so many times, what can I do for you? – She asked while Kara explained to her what she needed.
Lena told her he put a gps tracker on her mom two days ago so she could find the lab, but she never went there for a while, so she didn't know. She opened her laptop and saw it, the signal above a building not far away from there. Kara took her phone that Cisco upgraded so it would work on this Earth and sent everyone else that was waiting the address of the lab, and told them to stand still and wait. It was Oliver's turn now to act, since Lena was calling her mom, with a excuse. Supergirl thanked Lena and ran away in super speed, since she figured out people would notice her flying around. She got back to their hiding spot at the garage, while Oliver started his part of the plan.
He walked to the front of the building as Lillian Luthor left, clearly annoyed. She was going to get in her limo as she saw him hold the door with his hand.
- Lillian Luthor? – He said in a perfect Russian accent – I believe we need to talk.
- And who are you?
- I'm Bratva – he discretely showed her his tattoo – Russian Mafia
- I know what you are; I want to know your name.
- Ivo – he said really convincing, glad the she fell for it right away by the look on her face.
- Come in – She ordered him
Oliver got in the limo as they talked about the world latest and biggest problem: aliens. He told her the tale he created to be convincing on his goal: to be accepted in the Lab as a part of the team. She was really buying all the crap he was telling her, and as she gladly accepted his help, they got to the Lab quickly.
- I hoped for my daughter to do it, but a Bratva is always welcome to my team. – She smiled at him that faked smiled back at her.
"That was the easy part" – he thought to himself. She didn't notice that as they were driven to the lab, there were a speedster holding a red archer with him, following her there. They got to the back of the building, hiding behind the trash can and waiting.
Oliver was left in a room with two agents as Lillian told him she was going to deal with some things before talking to him about his job there. Oliver waited for her to leave and looked at the agents that stared at him suspiciously. He looked around, pretending to find the place really interesting, walking slowly through the place. There was a few tables, many computers and a desk that he thought it was Lillian's. He was looking for security cameras, and gladly there was none there, so he could finally act. He got to the agents and fought them both out of sudden, they did not see it coming, and got knocked down easily. He beaten them pretty hard, and hid their bodies under the huge table at the center that had a huge towel over it reaching the floor.
- Sweet dreams buddies – He said in a whisper as he got to Lillian's computer. He took a pen drive out of his pocket and inserted on the computer, copying everything he could. He took it once was done, and getting out of the room.
It was not easy to find his way out of there, outside the lab, to the back of it where Flash and Speedy were waiting for him with his stuff. He had to knock more agents down fighting them hard on his way, but he managed to escape.
- Thanks, Speedy – He said as she gave him his suit and quiver. – Barry, I need you to take this to the others. – He gave him the pen drive - Cisco will know how to deal with this. He brought his computer after adapting it to work here - He got behind the trash can and suited up as Barry ran to the garage, gave Cisco the pen drive and got back in seconds.
- Is Kara there with them? – Oliver said looking at Barry in a serious way.
- Yes. Apparently no one saw her.
- Perfect.
He turned on his com and reached Cisco out
- Cisco? Are you listening?
- Yeah, man. I just opened the files from the pen drive. This Lillian woman is the devil itself. It looks like she's playing doctor, experimenting on aliens and turning dead humans into something similar to meta-humans. I like to call them zombie monsters
- Silly naming later, Cisco – Oliver said in a rush
- My bad. – He apologized – You managed to get all their plans so it won't be so hard to stop them… We need to split the team. I'll instruct them right now as I send them your way. And for God's sake turn on the camera I installed in your suit. ALL OF YOU – He said to Oliver and shouted to the others around him – I need that to help you guys. Felicity managed to hack their system, so we can see the entire lab from here. She is a genius man…
- Ok, we'll be waiting. – Oliver said in a rush, not wanting to waste any more time.
The team got there in 15 minutes. Alex, Thea, Wally, Mick, Amaya, Nate, Black Siren and Barry got into the main room, being followed by the others. Many agents appeared out of nowhere and started fighting them. Kara and Clark came in flying inside the first room of the lab, but when the agents tried to shoot them with kryptonite bullets, it all went grey and when hit them, bounced off like it was nothing.
- Never thought I would say that I missed this – Clark smiled at Kara
- Never did I, cousin – she laughed as they both took every agent of the room down at once.
The team spread around the building, for their small missions, as Kara, Clark and Oliver went to find Lillian. They found her in a dark room with a few light coming through the window. The room was the place where they experimented on alien children they kidnapped. Kara's eyes filled with tears, and she fought them hard as she got determinate to save them all.
Atom shrank himself so he could find their kryptonite arsenal, Thea and Sara following him as they fought some more agents. One managed to grab Sara by the hair, but she grabbed his neck and threw him in front of her, kicking him in the guts.
- No man grabs my hair without my permission! – She kicked him again while Thea dropped the last man that was fighting them on the ground.
- Nice – Alex said to Sara and they stopped in front of a white door.
Atom managed to enter the room by the door lock, since he was really tiny, and opened the door from inside, coming back to his normal size as soon as he found the spare key hanging in the wall. Sara and Thea came in just in time to stop an agent to attack Ray from behind.
- Whoa! Thanks – He smiled to her. – So all we need to do is blast this whole arsenal.
- No problem – Thea smiled while shooting exploding arrows to the whole kryptonite that was in the room. Ray sent some explosions to the arsenal as well while Sara watched their backs. Soon there was no more kryptonite stash in that place.
Barry and Wally got the mission to run around the city and stop the war that was going down. Many agents were trying to kidnap more alien child, to take more dead bodies of the humans from the cemetery, and were spreading terror to the alien bar Kara talked so much about. They needed to go to the DEO front door and take care of every agent that was blasting things at them, trying to invade. They were the only ones with super speed besides Clark and Kara, so they went for it and managed to do it all in a short time without anyone noticing.
- We are quite the team, Kid Flash – Barry high-fived him
- Yes we are, Flash. – He smiled at his brother in law to be and they went back to the lab to help the others.
Amaya, Nate in his Citizen Steel form, and Mick that was firing his heat gun to anyone who stood in their way, were walking to the place where they were told the lab held dead bodies for experiments. They found the small place after walking a few feet under the stairs, and turning many corners left.
A huge monster attacked them from behind, but Nate was quicker than him, punching him right in the face as Amaya called for the strength of an elephant and ran to help him take the monster down. Mick got the bags from the room and started putting all 5 bodies inside them, breaking every machine he saw in front of him. He was told to "break everything he saw with all the strength he got" and he was never so excited to comply with orders as he was right now.
Amaya was hit in the stomach by the monster and fell to the ground. Mick saw it, and aimed his gun to the thing.
- DIE YOU BASTARD! – He said while throwing fire at him. The thing busted into flames and exploded.
- Thanks Mick – Amaya said as Nate helped her from the floor
- You're welcome – He smiled to her and Nate looked at him startled. He never saw Mick smiling, at anyone. He never thought he was capable of it.
- Well, let's take these bodies out of here – Amaya said carrying one of the bags, Mick got two and Nate got the other two.
Sara, Alex and Black Siren had to install bombs all over the place to get it ready for the right time. Caitlin held the detonator back in the garage as Cisco and Felicity were guiding some of them through that horrible place.
While all these things happened, Oliver, Clark and Kara faced Lillian Luthor at the room filled with alien children that was being experimented on like lab rats.
- Lillian Luthor: You have failed this city! – Oliver said is his voice modulator aiming an arrow to her.
- Stop what you are doing right now! – Kara said, trying to control her anger to that scene
Lillian Luthor jumped in her place and turned around, scared to see all the three of them there, but she kept her composure. Oliver threw an arrow at her arm that made the woman scream in agony
- You heard the lady – He said violently while kicking the woman in her leg and taking her down to the ground. He aimed another arrow at her
- Green Arrow… - Clark said apprehensive – He always heard about Oliver's violent and drastic ways to deal with bad guys, but he never thought it was like that, and it scared him. Barry once told him that Oliver liked to think people need to believe he will kill them, so they can cooperate. He has to be believable. Clark just didn't know if he could watch him. Kara knew about all of this since she started dating Oliver, and spent so much time talking to him about their world of crime fighting. She was not scared at him; she knew what he was doing. She was just focused on Lillian Luthor, really angry at her. She looked around to let those kids free, when the woman aimed inside her jacket and pressed a button.
Suddenly the whole room was filled with a green light and Clark and Kara started feeling weak and dizzy. It was too much kryptonite for their devices to hold, they couldn't handle it. Oliver aimed at her again, and shot her an arrow that kept her prisoner.
- Lillian… Please… You don't have to… Do… This – Kara said to her almost fainting and in so much pain she felt she could die at any moment now. Oliver looked at Lillian aiming other arrow at her – Ollie, please… - Kara pleaded and he understood. He just kept aiming at her, waiting.
- Shut up! – Lillian said, stuck in the ground by the ropes that came with that arrow that savage shot at her. – I have to do this cause this earth is poisoned by the aliens. They all have to die. You have to die. You and your stupid cousin.
- Humans can be way worse lady! Take a good look in the mirror. – Oliver said getting angrier – It's not too late for you, still. You can try to redeem yourself if you stop this bullshit here right now! This building is full of heroes, my team, and they will bring you down.
- You think I care? – Lillian said as she watched Kara and Clark passing out, falling to the ground – I got what I wanted. The world is free from Supergirl and Superman. Soon all the aliens will follow. All of them and their stupid followers. I will not be taken by your lot – She said as she took her guy and shot herself.
Oliver looked at her startled, than turned around to run for Kara and Clark.
- Barry? Wally? I need your help NOW!
He shouted in his com getting furious and full of concern. He felt their pulses, they were barely breathing this time. Barry and Wally came in a second and helped them out of the building. They ran back and took everyone that was left away as well. All the agents that were alive, they managed to hold them so they would deal with the police later. Oliver gave Felicity the sign and she pressed the button, exploding the lab once and for all.
- Cisco, get in touch with Winn and warn him that we have to leave to Earth 1 so we can save Kara and Clark, if it's not too late. They will not be long to come back after they recover – he said that last sentence with a pain on his chest he could not explain. He thought he was prepared for this day. He thought wrong. But first, he had to see Kara's smile again, he had to see her alive and breathing again. And he prayed he would.
It was all a blur.
She saw a light, a bright light take over her eyes. She though she died and went to heaven. She opened her eyes and saw that pair of beautiful blue eyes looking at her. He had a concerned expression on his beautiful face and his eyes were red, like he cried a lot. She smiled weakly. She was not going anywhere and she thought he knew it, but it warmed her heart to see him so worried about her, like his life depended on hers.
- Hey babe – He said to her, caressing her soft hair as he loved to do. – You scared the hell out of me… Again. Please, don't scare me like that again. – He said sweetly, kissing her forehead.
- I don't plan to – She smiled, squeezing her hand in his.
They managed to bring Kara and Clark back to Star Labs, were they laid out in a room with Solar lamps they borrowed from a friend of Caitlin's that used to work with that stuff. They absorbed so much kryptonite it was taking it too long for them to recover. Oliver couldn't wait any longer and stormed in the room, wanting to see Kara. Caitlin tried to ask him to wait outside 'til she got better, but he refused to leave her side. She was out for two days, and Oliver never left her bedside. He took a few naps from time to time, unable to actually sleep. She almost died twice as she was recovering, and there was a time Oliver thought he lost her forever. He never cried so much in his life. When he saw her opening her eyes, he felt such a joy. He was smiling at her as she looked confused at him.
- Glad. I can't lose you, babe… I love you – He said holding her hand still
Clark started waking up as well, and Oliver looked at him, smiling.
- Nice to know you kept your word to take care of her – He said, while feeling a bit sore.
- I will always take care of her, don't worry.
- Thanks for helping saving our lives – Clark nodded at him as Oliver did the same.
Oliver really loved Kara, and Clark could see that clearly now. At first he doubted his intentions, but now it was way clearer to him. Kara deserved happiness and he was thankful that she found him. He could not wait to go back to Lois as well, as that nightmare was finally over.
- I believe they will be 100% by the end of the day, now please, let them rest Oliver. I promise to call if anything changes – Caitlin said to him as he gave a small peck on Kara's lips and shake Clark's hand before living.
They needed a vacation after that last mission, for sure, Oliver thought to himself as he left the room, closing the door behind him.
Alex was so stressed out by the last mission and the scare of losing Kara for the third time; she needed to take out on something. She got to the training room at Star Labs and started punching some bags. Sara walked in right after seeing her so mad.
- What the poor bag did to you? – She said smiling to her. Alex just looked up, gave a small smiled back at her and focused on what she was doing.
- Are you ignoring me? For real? – Sara crossed her arms around her chest, trying not to lose all the patience she had left.
- No… I'm sorry it felt like I was… - Alex said a bit embarrassed. She only now thought about he attitude towards Sara. She didn't deserve that, except that time they fought when they first met, but that was in the past.
- It sure did. We kissed, we slept together and then you run like hell – Sara said approaching her, holding the boxing bag with her hands. She was not used to go after someone like that, insisting, but she felt she had to, like she knew the regret she would feel if she didn't.
- I freaked out. – Alex said stopping punching the bag, standing in front of Sara – Kara told me I was being stupid, I know it. I just... When you asked me out again, I panicked. Because we are from different Earths, and you time travels… I honestly don't know how this could work…
- Chill woman – Sara said smiling at her – I'm not asking you to marry me… Not that I will never plan to, we just met and I like taking things slowly, taking my time… I know we have some obstacles… But if grumpy Ollie and Puppy Kara can find a way to make it work, so can us.
Alex approached her, unsure, but feeling like she could kiss her right there. She just still had some doubts. She hated to be unsure, about anything. She hated the feeling of being torn. Wanting something so bad, but knowing it might hurt like hell in the future was the worst thing ever – she thought, but then, she remembered Kara's words. She owned herself to know, to try, to see if it would work. Sara was a badass, loved fighting and saving the world just like her, was beautiful, sexy, had amazing skills, it was a great kisser, and had a beautiful soul. She wanted to get this beautiful soul better, give it a try. She decided she would go for it, even if she was scared.
- It's too bad I was so drunk I barely remember that night… - She said playful as Sara approached her, grabbing her by her neck and kissing her full on the mouth, wasting no time.
Alex grabbed Sara's hair, caressing like there was no tomorrow. That familiar feeling of peace came to her again, as it came the night their first kissed. She couldn't forget that, even if she was drunk as hell that night, it was magical. Sara kissed her with all she got, she was tired of talking, action was more of her thing and she was determined to win Alex over. She felt that it was worth it, and her heart warmed everytime she even looked at her.
- I hope that helped you remember – she whispered as Alex kissed her back vigorously. Of course she remember, every detail was unforgettable. Her soft tongue against hers, her firm hand holding her and doing things to her not even Maggie dared try. Alex smiled between the kiss as she remember every detail.
Sara looked at Alex and held her hand. Alex could get lost in her deep blue eyes easily, it was like feeling hypnotized.
– I honestly don't even know how we deal with all of this. But I know how we could start trying. – Sara stopped and thought for a second, a brilliant idea coming in her mind. She looked at Alex, hopeful. - Come with us. On the Wave Rider.
- What? – Alex looked at her thrown out off balance – You mean… Become a Legend?
- Yes.
- I have a family… And a job… In another Earth
Alex started feeling dizzy. It was an amazing opportunity for them, that were obvious, but how she could manage being away from her family, friends, Earth for so long?
- I know that. You would always be able to talk to them, visit. It's not just because of me; I really think you are way too talented to be stuck inside a government company beating up bad guys. You can do so much more. Cisco really created something amazing with these devices.
Alex thought about what she said to her, considering everything. She loved her world, her job. But she was dying out of curiosity to see what else she could do in the world. She was given a rare opportunity to find out, so she smiled at Sara.
- It will be for a few times, and I will visit home from time to time. And I will take a license from my job there, cause I love what I do there, we really help the world. But I get what you are saying. And I want to find out what this world can offer.
- Fine by me – Sara said as Alex took her by the hand
Sara felt a wave of joy taking over her. She thought Alex was going to say no or something like that right away, but it was not the case, gladly.
- And once you get to take a vacation, you are always welcome to stay with us, helping at the DEO. We could really use a White Canary there.
- Maybe someday… - She said as she brought Alex to the closest wall she could, pressing her against it – Now we have some matters to… Discuss – She smiled as Alex pulled the blonde to herself as she kissed her mouth, trailing a path to her neck and down her cleavage.
The first time they got together Alex was so drunk that she remembered but it was all like a dream. She wanted Sara again, but this time she wanted her one hundred per cent sober, she wanted to feel every inch of that perfect toned body against her, so she started working her way through Sara's clothes and stripping at the same time. Sara took a few steps back, locking the door behind her as Alex approached her, with her hands on Sara's waist. She brought them to the floor of the room, standing above her as they kissed and enjoyed each other.
