Chapter Summary: Prompt from WritersBlock039: Maybe a charity gala at CatCo or L-Corp, or a gala on Earth-1, and either Oliver or Kara makes the jump to be the others' date?
.
5. Would you be my date?
There was a huge explosion. It was a bomb, maybe planted by Vigilante since he was giving tem Arrow nightmares, doing one crazy thing after another. Oliver was near inside the building and was sure he was going to die; there was no time for him to run away. He felt someone grabbing him and taking him away from there in super speed. He was ready to thank Barry for it when he opened his eyes and saw her. The blonde with long and wavy hair all around her face with her cape moving with the wind. She looked worried at him.
- Th… Thank you! – He coughed.
- Are you alright? – She asked, still looking at him with a worried look in her eyes.
- Yes, thanks to you I am… How did you know?
Kara crossed her arms on her chest, thinking about how she was glad that she decided to visit.
- I had to get away from my Earth for a while, too much stuff going on… When I breached here, I heard your voice talking to your team on the comm and could hear the click noise, someone pressed a button and I could tell it was an explosion. So I followed the sound of your voice and flew here...
- I'm glad you did. I need to go to the bunker. This was a trap!
- Sure... Want a ride?
She smiled shyly at him as Oliver looked at her and thought about it.
- Hum… thanks for the offer, but I prefer my bike. – He couldn't handle another super speed flying right now. One was too much.
- That's ok. I see you at the bunker… If that's ok with you – Kara blushed as she looked at him.
- You are always welcome there, Kara. – He smiled at her, noticing her face becoming red. – Always.
Kara just gave him a shy smile and flew away. Oliver drove through the streets thoughtful. He was beyond glad for Kara's perfect timing, but he also was curious about her visit. It did not take long for him to arrive. As he entered, he saw Felicity and Diggle talking with Kara.
- Oh my God! – Felicity jumped from her seat and hugged Oliver strongly, relieved to see him ok. – I'm glad you are ok!
Felicity held Oliver longer than usual and Oliver caught Kara's eyes on them, like it was a bit uncomfortable. Oliver felt a bit uncomfortable and let go of Felicity, smiling at her.
- Yes, I am, thanks to Kara! That was a trap! We need to know if this was indeed Vigilante, or somebody else!
- We will do it, but you need to go to the gala… as the Mayor… Remember? – Diggle looked at him.
- You need to find those FBI files there. It's all they have on the team.
Oliver looked down, remembering their other dangerous mission. The FBI had some files on the team that needed to be erased, this way they wouldn't be able to mess with them anymore. After the stress with Curtis, Dinah and Renee, it took a long time for them to make peace with each other, and Oliver feared it could happen again. To be honest, Oliver still had some trust issues with the three of them, but he decided to give them another chance. They were taking care of some other thing and Oliver looked back at Felicity, Diggle and Kara.
- I know… But I need help. It's the FBI, it can't go wrong or we all are screwed!
Felicity was thoughtful for a while and was about to say something when Kara got up from her chair, excitedly and walked towards Oliver, stopping in front of him with an excited look in her eyes.
- This undercover thing, I did once on my Earth. I can help you; I'm really good at this! I also can pass as your date because no one here knows me and can't find me… Not date as date, but… you know…
- It's actually a good idea – Oliver smiled, liking the idea of Kara helping him. Her powers could be a great addition if anything went wrong. And he couldn't help but think about the date she mentioned. It was undercover, but still, he felt excited about this for some reason.
Felicity was the only one that seemed to not enjoy that idea, but she kept her mouth shut. She had a history with Oliver and she was hopeful that they might get together again sometime, but now, it seemed like a distant possibility. And she couldn't even get mad at Kara, because she liked her a lot. It was a difficult situation, so she decided to let it go and focus on what they had to do.
- We can help you guys from here, leave your comms on and at any sight of danger, warns us… - Diggle said as he noticed Felicity' change of mood.
- First of all, I need a change of clothes. I can't go there as Supergirl…
- Thea might have something that fits you… We can go see her and then go to the party.
Kara and Oliver left the bunker and Diggle walked closer to Felicity.
- Are you ok?
- Yes!
She said as she turned her chair around and turned the computer on.
Oliver left Kara with Thea as he went home to change clothes. Thea helped Kara pick a nice dress; it was sleeveless V-neck lace bodice, all dark blue one, with military ball gown sparkles with delicate beading. The lace cascaded down onto the full flowing skirt that gave Kara the sensation of floating while she walked and it was funny because she could actually float. Her back was almost completely exposed; the lace of the dress just went up through the sides of her back and down her waist. Kara had her hair in a loose bun, with a few strands of hair falling through the sides of her face. She had light make up and beautiful not so high silver heels.
Thea looked at Kara, satisfied with her work. She was sure her brother will have a jaw dropping moment once he saw Kara and she smiled to herself as she thought about it.
- Kara, you look amazing!
- Really? – Kara said, looking at herself on the mirror.
That was a beautiful dress; for sure Thea had amazing taste in clothing. She turned around slowly, smiling at her reflection.
- Thank you for the help.
- It was nothing – Thea smiled – Oliver will be here any minute now… - She said as she picked up her phone, looking at a text from him.
- Ok.
Oliver arrived at Thea's and as she imagined, his jaw dropped once he saw Kara. She was really beautiful. She always was, but at that moment, she was even more, if this was even possible. He tried to stay focused, because this was a mission and something he had to do as the Mayor of Star City.
- You look stunning – Oliver said politely, trying to hide his awe, making Kara blush.
- You don't look so bad yourself, Mr. Mayor! – She teased him as she looked at his dark suit and tie. He was indeed handsome, she thought.
- Shall we? – He said, offering his arm to her.
Oliver and Kara took the car Oliver used to official things. It was like a limo, but not actually one. Kara just looked around inside the car, distracted as Oliver looked at her.
- We need to think about a cover story… In any case…
- I know. People will ask who is the blonde walking beside the Mayor, since I'm from another Earth and I can't actually tell people that... – She joked, making Oliver laugh with her.
- You are my journalist friend from Coast City.
- It's a believable story. – She smiled as she looked out of the window.
- We're here!
Oliver greeted some people he knew from City Hall and SCPD and introduced Kara just like they agreed on doing. Some people looked intrigued at Kara, imagining she was the Mayor's new love affair or something like that, thinking Oliver was trying to hide things from the public eye and Kara felt all eyes on her, blushing harder than before. A waiter held a tray with two glasses of champagne and offered Oliver. He took them and gave one to Kara.
- Cheers! – Oliver said in a low voice, taking a sip of it.
- Cheers! – She smiled, doing the same.
She wasn't that much of a fan of alcohol but it was a special occasion, so it was ok for her. More people from Oliver's office showed up and they started talking a bit about the charity and work and Kara took advantage of that to turn her head and use her x ray vision discreetly, without people noticing. To them, she was just admiring the place. The FBI agent that was after Oliver and his team stopped by to say hi to them, in her usual threatening way and it pissed Kara off.
- This is a party; can't we be civil? – Oliver told her as he took another sip of his drink.
- For sure we can, Mr. Queen! – She smiled forcedly at him and turned away.
- What a rude woman! – Kara said in a whisper as she approached Oliver.
- I know. She hates me!
- The room with the files is on the second floor…
- How do you…Oh…
Oliver looked knowingly at Kara. He forgot about the x ray vision she had. It felt so right and so normal to be around Kara and talk to her, he forgot for a minute she was an alien from another universe. He blinked at her and took two more glasses of champagne, offering one at her. He drank in one single sip and started pretending to be a bit drunk. Kara looked at him, realizing what he was doing and repeated his actions. They looked at each other and started laughing out of sudden.
- I got an idea… - Kara told him as she looked around and reached for his hand.
Oliver followed Kara, tripping on the way to really sell he was not sober. If Kara had a plan, he trusted her, so he would follow.
They were in a huge room of the building and there were two more huge rooms on the ground floor. There was a lot of statues, plants and decorations, perfect stuff to use as hideout. Kara turned around, and pulled him towards her by his collar, laughing along with him. She took a few steps behind a huge plant, hitting her back on the wall. Oliver was taken by surprise, by kept in character, laughing with her, but looking curiously at her.
- I couldn't use my super speed there, people would notice. We also couldn't just go to the second floor, there is no one there…
- Oh, good thought. – He said as his face was really close to hers, his body pressed against hers behind the plant.
Kara's eyes were lost in his, but she blinked twice and lowered her head, blushing once more and trying to remember they needed those files. She used her x ray vision to be sure no one was staring at where they hid and it seemed no one noticed. She smiled and looked back to him.
- We can go now!
- Ok.
Oliver prepared himself as Kara grabbed him and used her super speed. In just a second they were inside the room on the second floor. That was a police building and Oliver learned that FBI files were being held there before they took it to their headquarters in Washington, DC. He also knew that annoying FBI agent had a few files about his team members so he had to take them, and quick.
- Found it! – Kara said as she used her x ray vision on the draws – There are some folders here.
- Guys, be careful – Felicity said on their comms.
- We will be – Oliver told her and turned his attention back to the files Kara found.
She grabbed the pile and used her super speed to look into each one of them, finding the files they were looking for.
- This is… - Oliver said as he watched her do her thing. – Amazing… - He said, impressed at how quick she found them all.
- I can use my super speed and bring those to the car in a blink of an eye, because we can't hide them in our clothes… - Kara looked at her dress and Oliver's clothes, thinking about the only way to take those files away from there.
- That's…
Kara flew and came back in 3 seconds, her hair a big messed up, but she was smiling at his face.
- Fine by me… - Oliver completed, laughing at the end. – You are amazing, Kara Danvers. Thank you.
- Your welcome, Oliver Queen.
They heard noises coming from outside and looked at each other in shock. They couldn't be caught there; they would have a huge problem with the feds. Kara used her x ray vision.
- Guys, you have company! – Diggle said on their comms.
- They are at the end of the corridor, inside some other room, we need to go now. – Kara whispered to Oliver.
Kara grabbed Oliver again and ran outside in super speed. Kara got scared and they ended up in a different room they were before on the ground floor. It was empty and it looked like an office.
- Wrong place people! – Felicity said to their comms. – But you are not far away from the party…
- I'm sorry… - Kara said as she blushed, feeling embarrassed.
- It's ok… We just need to go back outside and…
They heard noises outside once again and Kara panicked. Oliver looked scared at her, this time there was no way she could use her super powers, they would notice because whoever it was, was coming to their direction as Kara could see.
Oliver looked at Kara and did the first thing that came into his mind. He grabbed her by the waist and lifted her up, making her sit on the desk. His hands traveled through her legs, grabbing the fabric of her skirt, pulling a bit up her legs, just so he could stand between her legs and he kissed her passionately. There was nothing calmer or soft in that kiss, Kara thought as she was caught by surprise, but kissed Oliver back with the same fervor, letting a soft moan come out of her lips. Her hands went for his collar and she took his coat off him and threw it away and opened his shirt a bit abruptly, making a few buttons fly around.
- Sorry… - She tried to whisper but his lips interrupted her
- Don't care… - He smiled between their kiss when he felt her hands traveling through his chest.
Oliver kissed Kara's neck, actually devouring it and she bent her head backwards, giving him more access when the door opened abruptly. There, stood two security guys with crossed arms and a very pissed off look on their faces.
- Mr. Mayor? This is not the place for this…
Kara blushed, trying to hold her laugh. Oliver stepped away from her and tried to adjust his shirt, grabbing his coat from the floor and putting it on again.
- I'm… Sorry – Oliver said as he still pretended to be drunk.
- He was trying to find the bathroom, I tried to help him, we found this room… - Kara said equally fake drunk.
- And one thing led to another…
- It is ok. Just please, leave the room! – One guy said, still pissed.
- I appreciate if you keep this to yourself – Oliver said as he stopped in front of the security guy before holding Kara's hand and leaving.
Oliver and Kara said their goodbyes to some people they encountered on their way out of the party, letting some of them curious and thinking for sure that Kara was the new girl in Oliver's life. He knew people would talk, but he couldn't care less.
Inside the building where the bunker was, they stopped walking and Oliver rested his back against a wall, holding the files with him. Kara used her super speed to grab her suit inside her purse and change back into it, holding that beautiful dress on her hands, and the shoes.
- Wow, that was fast…
- It's because I need to go back now… - She smiled noticing his impressed expression on his face.
- Before you go… About before… That kiss…
- It's ok – She smiled – We had to sell it – She joked, still blushing, making him smile at her. – It was a hell of a kiss though – She said without thinking and covered her mouth with her both hands.
- Couldn't agree more… - He laughed at her reaction.
They looked at each other. Kara wasn't expecting for that kiss, but Rao, she enjoyed it. Oliver was such a great kisser; she barely could hold back the desire to kiss him again. Suddenly, Diggle's voice was all over their ears again.
- Hum… Guys? Your comms are still on…
- My bad, Dig! – Oliver said, quickly turning them off. He looked back at Kara. – Thanks for your help.
- Anytime, Oliver, you know it.
Kara took a few steps at Oliver and handled him the dress and the shoes.
- And please tell Thea I said thank you. – She looked intensely into his eyes, shivering from the way he looked back at her.
She just had to do it. Kara reached for the back of his neck and kissed him fully on the lips this time around. Oliver closed his eyes, savoring the moment even if he was not expecting. He didn't mind it and kissed her back, with want. This time around, it was a sweet goodbye kiss.
- It was a good team up – She smiled as she broke the kiss apart, turning around and reaching for her device.
- Can't wait for the next! – He said, making her turn her head and smile at him, before vanishing back to her Earth.
He held the dress closer to his nose, still feeling her scent.
- A hell of a kiss indeed.
He smiled and walked towards the elevator, going back to the bunker.
