Present For Clark

Disclaimer: Just a fun little thing I've thought about off and on and I think this was also inspired by Arlyss if I'm not mistaken. Begins after the baby reveal talk and Clark's decision to take Lois to Argo. Or wherever it is Kara's mother and other Kryptonians are at.

Summary: After the Elseworlds situation is resolved, Kara gives Clark a gift from Oliver.

"Oh! Before I leave, I have something Oliver wanted me to pass on to you. Even though I didn't think it was necessary considering you have 20 more years of experience on him but he still thought I should give it to you. I'm even gonna give James a copy the next time I see him." Kara told her Cousin happily.

Making the soon to be father and hero of Earth very curious as Kara raced into the Kent Farm house and then back out with a tablet. "This is a little something Oliver and a few others have put together over the years from various experiences of theirs."

Curious, Clark took the tablet from his smiling Cousin and turned it on and found himself surprised by the title. "'The Rules And Tips Guide To Being a Vigilante And Or Superhero'?" He asked with raised eyebrows.

"Uh-huh! Its really good stuff! Go on, read some!"

Chuckling, Clark began to do so.

Rule 1: When first starting out as a Vigilante or Superhero, wear a cup if you are a male. As trust me, this will save you some pain and embarrassment. - Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

Rule 1A: Even if you are invulnerable, this still applies. - Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

Rule 2: If in the event you have to question a loved one as your alter ego and they are not aware of the fact you and alter ego are the same person, do not for a second, let your guard down. As said loved one may have a gun and be willing to use it in fear of their life. This can save you from being shot and almost dying. - Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

Rule 2A: This also still applies to those who can not be easily hurt. Along with those who may have Super Speed as a power. - Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

Rule 6: Never let a brother or a sister go into battle alone. - John Diggle/Spartan

Rule 6A: Also, do not bring up dead relatives when on a date with said dead relative's wife, husband, or whatever else. As I've learned, its a really bad way to do a first date (and dates in general) and may result in wife, husband, or whatever else being greatly upset with you. - John Diggle/Spartan

Rule 8: Torture is a perfectly valid way to get information, regardless if you're squeamish. But in case you are and don't have any other means to get information, just call me and I'll handle it myself. As remember, failure to get information in a timely manner can result in death and destruction. - Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

Rule 9: Thoroughly checking out an environment is a good idea. And I mean a really, really good idea. - Barry Allen/The Flash

Rule 9A: Letting Oliver handle your training may result in arrows to the back. So finding someone else to handle your training is advisable if you don't want to experience that. - Barry Allen/The Flash

Rule 13: If you happen to have connections with a shady or perhaps not so shady organization, being upfront with its leader, especially if you happen to be on friendly terms with them, is just smart thinking. Especially if someone you thought dead and has a major grudge against you comes back from the dead (but isn't actually dead) with intent to try and take all you love away from you. - Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

Rule13A: This also particularly applies to family members if said thought to be dead person tries to weasel their way into said family members' lives. As it can save a lot of time and pain in the future if things aren't kept a secret. - Thea Queen/Speedy

Rule 17: As someone who has experience in this situation, going off with someone whom you know is a murdering psychopath, regardless of whether or not you are dealing with emotional trauma, is just plain stupid and should be slapped hard on the back of the head. Repeatedly. As this could lead to you being drugged and killing a close friend and other problems because of said drugging. So don't do it. - Thea Queen/Speedy

Rule 25: Faking your death and staying on the road in order not to be caught can be difficult. So only do it if you absolutely have too. And plan things out accordingly if possible. - Roy Harper/Arsenal

Rule 35: Allowing your past to continually have a hold on you can be problematic for your present and future. So don't do it. - Slade Wilson/Deathstroke

Rule 50: Time travel for personal gain, whether through means as a Speedster or otherwise, is highly inadviseable. As any number of issues could happen and attempts to fix those can cause further problems. So just don't do it. - Jay Garrick/The Flash Of Earth-3 And Ava Sharpe Of The Time Bureau Of Earth-1

Clark paused his in reading to look up at his Cousin with a surprised look on his face. "I… Wow. Oliver and the others have clearly been putting a lot of effort into this." He told her in honest amazement.

"Yep! I was a little surprised myself when Cisco sent me mine awhile back."

Her Cousin gave a nod at that and wondered what he might be able to add at some point when his eyes caught sight of a later rule from Oliver that made him frown. Especially as it was clearly a recent add for that matter.

Rule 52: Blaming me and treating me like shit for everything that happens when its clearly not my fault is something I am absolutely DONE with. This is the only written warning I will give. - Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

Well, that's concerning. Thought the man to himself with a frown before thanking his Cousin and giving her a hug. And asking to pass on the message of thanks to Oliver for him.
