Revelations And Apologies

Disclaimer: A little something I came up with recently and makes use of a shared universe and a guest's idea for Oliver being a smack talker when it comes to Aliens before the island. Oliver and Kara are a thing, though he doesn't know she's an Alien. Yet. Both are at least 20 to 21 in the first portion of this. And before anyone complains, yes, I am painting Sara as the bad guy in this. Don't like? Don't read.

Summary: Knowing how much of a jerk her boyfriend can be towards Aliens, Kara knows its likely to be a bad idea, but she's gonna reveal her Alien heritage to him regardless.

Shortly after moving to Starling City, Washington from Midvale, Nebraska during her and her sister's Sophomore year of high school, Kara Zor-El Danvers had fallen in with a group of kids known as Oliver Queen, Dinah Laurel and Sara Lance, and Tommy Merlyn. Her sister, Alex Danvers hung out with them occasionally but never full on joined the group. And despite the fact it was rapidly apparent that Oliver had no respect for Aliens, Kara still found herself crushing on him. Even entering into a relationship with him several months after moving to the area despite the fact her family had heavily cautioned against it due to his beliefs. But Kara had felt that maybe she could help him change his views without being too heavy handed about it. Sara Lance however would make it known she wasn't too thrilled about the new relationship as she had wanted Oliver for herself. Leading to her and Alex being rather antagonistic towards one another for a good long while.

And though Oliver never really changed his views despite Kara's attempts, the two's relationship was still fairly solid. At least until graduation night happened and Sara had managed to get him, herself, and a girl named Samantha Clayton drunk. Causing drunken sexual shenanigans to happen and for Samantha to end up pregnant and faking a miscarriage thanks to Moira being Moira after she had found out about it. It had taken most of the Summer before Kara had even taken him back while the intense rivalry between Alex and Sara had only increased due to what Sara had done. And while Oliver hadn't cheated on her since being taken back, he had been tagged as a no good cheating rogue. Though that kinda mainly came from Quentin since he long believed the kid had been the one to cause the whole drunken sexcapades to happen despite everyone else's claims. A few months after Oliver had turned 20 though, Kara had finally decided it was time to tell him her secret.

Hoping it might finally help him be a little more accepting but if not, Kara would finally end things between them as while she loved him, she couldn't be with someone who hated Aliens. Not anymore as it was wearing thin on her. And once Oliver got to her place and her mom and sister were thankfully out at the time, she'd tell him her secret. "O-Ollie! As, as much I'd like to keep this going, there's something, oh God, something I need to tell you!" Giggled Kara as he paid attention to a sweet spot on her neck.

"You're not pregnant are you!?" Oliver asked suspiciously and worriedly as he pulled away to stare at her with the bangs of his hair in front of his eyes.

"What!? NO! God no!"

"Are you leaving Starling?"

"No! At least, as far as I'm aware none of us are leaving."

"Are you leaving me for another guy? Or even a girl?"

"Ollie, do I have to hurt you for asking dumb questions like that?" She asked him with a glower that had him chuckling some as he pulled back to put his hands up in a defensive gesture.

"Hey, considering there was that really questionable moment with Beatriz da Costa, it bears asking is all I'm saying."

Kara only narrowed her eyes at him while crossing her arms. "Now you know that was something Sara caused thank you very much."

He had to wince at that over his friend's latest attempt at trying to get him all to herself. Something Laurel and Quentin both were getting rather tired of and for whatever reason, Dinah refused to do much or say much about it. "Right, right. So if its nothing like any of that or anything else that could be serious that I can't think of right now, then it can wait. Right? As I have some serious fun time to do with your neck." He told her with a grin and a wink that made her a little flushed as despite their time together, he could still have an effect like that on her.

Moving in, Oliver quickly got back to the fun task of necking on her. Causing her to giggle and moan a little over his attention on her. Nearly losing herself until Kara reminded herself of what she had him over there for. Gently pushing him away with a giggle, and giggling more at his pouty look, she took a deep breath. "Sorry, Oliver, but this isn't something that can wait."

"Oh boy, it must be serious then if you're calling me by my full first name."

Taking another deep breath and releasing it, she nodded. "It… It is."

"You're not in some kind of trouble are you? Cause if you are, we can go to the Police or get your sister to kick the ass of whoever's messing with you." He asked in concern as he placed his hands on her shoulders.

Kara smiled at him in appreciation while hoping he would be this concerned and caring after her reveal… "No, I'm in no kind of trouble, you goof. But… Oliver? I… I'm an Alien."

There, she said it. The big secret, well, not all of it but depending how he took the first part, she'd tell him the rest. At first, he chuckled, thinking what she told him was a joke. "Kara, come on babe, you? An Alien? Nice little joke there."

Aside from that Superman idiot who should be using his powers for things that didn't involve helping, most Aliens didn't even look Human at all. So there was just no way his Kara was an Alien! Kara swallowed. "I'm, I'm not joking. I came here when I was a little girl and Superman managed to find me before anyone else could. That's why I'm the adopted one in the Danvers family th-thanks to him." She told him while beginning to grow a little fearful of what the guy she loves would say or do next.

Looking at Kara, Oliver couldn't help but see the utter fear coming from her. Telling him all he needed to know that she wasn't lying after all. "Oh… Oh God..."

"I… I SLEPT WITH AN ALIEN!?" Yelled out the Queen Scion in disgust, missing the flinch from Kara entirely.

"If you really loved me, that shouldn't matter!"

"Of course it does! YOU LIED TO ME! FOR YEARS, KARA! I probably have some kinda disease now for God's sake!"

His cruel words caused her to begin to sob hard as she began to try and tell him that she should have said something from the beginning. Unfortunately, he wouldn't hear of it and soon left the Danvers residence. Leaving Kara all alone until her mom and sister showed up and leaving Alex wanting to kick the ever loving shit out of Oliver. But Kara wouldn't have it much to her dislike. However… It'd be 5 long years before Kara and Oliver would ever see one another again…

5 Years Later In National City At CatCo. Media

A few days after Kara's big secret reveal, Oliver had gone off with his dad on the Queen's Gambit as he'd intended. Though he also went to try and clear his head where Kara was concerned and get some advice from his dad. As after he had cooled down, he felt rather horrible over how he had treated the girl he loves and had even willingly taken the 2 hour lecture his father had given him for his treatment of Kara. Though Sara having stowed away had definitely been an unwelcome surprise and the fact his dad had decided to make use of another boat to get to China was another surprise. Not knowing that this was a plan of his as a just in case kind of thing and would, to his horror, end up being proven right once he learned of the Queen's Gambit sinking. Taking his son, the crew, and Sara Lance with it since she refused to go with Robert as she felt she could convince Oliver to give things a go with her.

Especially now that things were more then likely done between him and Kara. Her thinking being that once everyone found out she got on the boat, it'd make it rather hard for anyone to be willing to believe him. A line of thinking Oliver had NOT been happy about whatsoever and swore to himself to do whatever he could to fix things. Not knowing it would take him 5 years before he could do so despite some of Robert's own attempts to see Sara's damage undone. Leading to a few issues to occur and for Kara to decide to end up leaving Starling for National City alongside her sister Alex. In the time since leaving Starling for National, Kara had continued her College education there and even started working at CatCo. Media. Late into Oliver's second year believed dead, Kara would even become Supergirl after preventing her sister from dying in a horrible plane crash while Malcolm Merlyn and his less then pleasant cohorts ended up in prison for conspiracy to commit what was seen as terrorist actions against Starling City's Glades section thanks to Robert's willingness to testify against the man.

"Now Kira, I want-Oh, can I help you?" Asked Cat Grant of the individual who had appeared in her office while she'd been informing Kara of something she needed her assistant to do while pronouncing Kara's name wrong again much to the younger girl's slight annoyance as she turned to see who her boss was talking with and her eyes widened in shock.

"O-Ollie?" Gasped out the Girl of Steel as even with the scruffy unshaven look, she'd recognize him anywhere.

"Yeah… Its me." Replied the man quietly as Cat watched the two and then realized who the man was thanks to the news reports about him.

"I take it you two have history with one another."

"Y-Yeah, Ms. Grant. We do." Kara replied while finding herself unable to look away from Oliver.

Who seemed to be just drinking her in. Cat nodded at that and told her young assistant to go off and speak with him. But not to take too long. Both being thankful for what she was willing, quickly took off until they were on the sidewalk. "I… I'm sorry." Began Oliver as they walked.

"For what, exactly? Treating me like pure crap or sleeping with Sara after it? Or both?" Came the somewhat biting question.

One that she hadn't meant to sound so biting but considering it'd been a long time in the making, Kara supposed it wasn't unjustified. Oliver let out a heavy breath. "For treating you like pure crap after you came out to me. I was a complete asshole and you deserved better then that. Frankly… I'm amazed you were even that willing to be with me despite the views I had at the time."

"Keyword being 'had' there, as in you no longer have those kind of views?"

"No. Not after 5 years of Hell." He admitted quietly as the memory of the young Narn known as Akio that had been adopted by Maseo and Tatsu had flashed through his mind and making her nod in understanding.

A part of her feeling glad he finally got past that and feeling guilty for it since it took him surviving years of Hell to do so. "And… I never cheated on you with Sara on the Gambit. She stowed away without either me or my dad knowing about it. She even refused to leave when my dad got on the other boat. But… I can understand why you wouldn't believe me considering how things were left between us."

His dad having gotten on that other boat without telling him or Sara why he was doing it had been something of a sore spot for the man too. Even having caused him to slug his own father in the face for it as well since he blamed the man for years of Hell and for inadverdently causing Sara's death twice over. Not knowing that she was alive and well and a lot more maturer then what she once was. "He, he told us that, Ollie… He really did. But that doesn't stop the pain I feel or from me still thinking you cheated on me with her again or the desire to slap you." A humorless chuckle escaped him.

"If you want too, then do it. I won't stop you but I do hope that one day you can find it in your heart to forgive me."

Kara stared at him for what felt like forever with glistening eyes and then slapped him while being sure not to use too much of her strength. More guilt raised up in Oliver as he felt the sting from her slap, knowing he deserved it and a lot more. "I'm sorry too for not telling you I'm an Alien sooner. Ha-Have a safe flight home." Kara told him with a wavering voice and then walked off, leaving him alone on the sidewalk with a heavy sigh.

Part of him hoping that one day, he would have her forgiveness and perhaps friendship if nothing else.
