Revelations And Apologies

Part 2

Disclaimer: An update for this idea!? Oh yes, yes indeed!

Summary: As the pressure mounts to try and find Malcolm's Earthquake device, Oliver makes a decision to reach out for help.

Atop a rooftop of one of the buildings in the Foundry area was Oliver Queen in his Hood outfit. It had been almost a year since his return from the dead and it had been filled with challenges in many an area. Some he triumphed over and some he hadn't. Things between himself and Kara were still somewhat tense due to the fact one had to travel far just to see the other but Oliver was grateful for the fact she was still in his life in some way or another. But right now, he wasn't thinking about that or other things in his personal life. No, he was thinking about the fact that Felicity was having trouble in locating where Malcolm Merlyn's Earthquake device could be since where they thought it was had been a dead end. Proving that the man was definitely a smart man. Leading to him to make a decision to come out on to the rooftop and reach out to someone. Someone who quite honestly didn't agree with how he did things in Starling City as his hooded self.

That someone being Superman himself. Someone he never used to have any respect for and thought his gifts should have been used for personal reasons instead of wasting time saving lives and the like. But now he knew better. "I… I know you have no reason to even want to help me considering how different my methods are to yours. I don't even know if you're listening right now as for all I know, you're off in some part of the world or off it saving lives. But… Superman? I, I need your help in order to save this city from Malcolm Merlyn because my team and I can't do it alone. So please… Help."

Oliver hated that he was almost practically pleading and begging for the Alien Superhero's help but he was running out of time where the Glades was concerned. Not to mention he hadn't a clue where Malcolm even was at the moment as the man had taken to hiding out after his mother had outed him. Not even Tommy knew where he could be at the moment but was helping try and find him none the less with Lance's help. Oliver stood where he was for several minutes before letting out a heavy sigh. "Guess you aren't coming. Maybe I deserve it after all I've done."

He turned to leave but a voice from above stopped him. "You may have some questionable methods but neither you nor the city deserve to be without help just because of that."

Quickly, he looked up and spotted Supergirl hovering in the air with her arms crossed as she stared down at him. The sight of her made him honestly feel more relieved in that one moment then what he'd felt in a long time. "Thank you for coming… Kara."

Stumbling briefly in the air, Supergirl righted herself and tried to act as if she had no idea what he was talking about. But he wasn't having it. "Cut the act, I know its you, Kara. I'd know your face anywhere and let's face it, eyeglasses as a disguise is a horrible identity concealer." He told her bluntly and causing her to groan as darn it, she had even told Clark this as well sometime ago!

But he just didn't seem to want to really even listen! "Well… If that's the case, you might as well pull down that hood, Oliver." She told him with a sigh as she touched down on the roof.

"Let me guess, X-Ray vision?" Asked the man as he pulled back the hood, not having the time or energy to fight her on the whole thing.

"Yep!"

Oliver couldn't help but chuckle in amusement despite the situation but then grew serious. "Thank you, for coming." The archer told his ex sincerely.

"No, thank you for putting aside your pride or whatever to ask for help. Even it is from an Alien."

"Like I've said before, Kara, I'm not that… That boy anymore. And this is about more then just me. This is about a section of this city that's under threat by a mad man who never got therapy for his wife's death." He told her truthfully as he stared straight at her.

Finding himself thinking how beautiful she is and how he missed having her in his arms a great deal. Kara sighed as she realized now was the time to fully put the past behind her as the proof of Oliver having truly become a changed man was staring right at her. The fact he seemed to be drinking her in wasn't something she was sure of how to feel about but that part of her that still loves him was happy about it. "I… You're right, Oliver. You aren't that boy anymore and the Glades needs both of us and anyone else who can help."

"So even though I'm a vigilante with a body count, you're going to help? Even though its likely to paint you in a bad light?" Oliver asked her bluntly.

Causing her to wince as it was known she had issues with vigilantes, which was weird considering the fact she herself and Superman were pretty much vigilantes. Even if they did work closely with the Law, they were still vigilantes regardless. "Yes, yes I am. I don't care how it paints me as this is more important and yes, I do realize the double standard of my views. But, its something I'm gonna try and change."

Hearing the sincerity in her voice, Oliver nodded in approval. "Good. Now, let's get moving."

He turned to make his way down the side of the building but Kara's voice stopped him. "Ollie?" She called out to him tentatively, making him freeze as his heart stopped.

As it had been so long since she'd called him that and it sounded so damned wonderful to hear from her. Turning around slightly to look at her, he spoke. "Yeah?"

"When this is over, can… Do you think we can talk? About, about us?"

The smile that couldn't help but come to Oliver's face was so large that it took Kara's breath away and it was all she needed to know as an answer. Not that it stopped him from answering. "Yeah, I'd like that. A lot." Oliver replied happily and it made her happy to know.

Even coming up to him and giving him a short but emotion filled kiss. "Now, let's go save the city!" Kara said happily while pulling away.

"As my friend Digg would say, 'Copy that'." A giggle escaped her as they left the rooftop and re-joined Diggle and Felicity down below the Foundry to do what they could in order to save the Glades from Malcolm Merlyn.

Author's Notes: I figured I'd leave the end result to one's imagination. Hope folks enjoyed and that this was worth the wait!
