9. The Secret
A blur of red lightning passed by the streets of Star City without people even realizing it and at the same time, a green hooded figure piloted a motorcycle as fast as he could. A few minutes later, he finally arrived on the location. Barry Allen was in his Flash suit waiting for him with his arms crossed and a funny look into his face. Oliver felt annoyed.
- I told you once, I tell you again: Super speed, I don't have it!
- It never gets old, man… - Barry laughed, and stopped right after seeing the look Oliver gave him.
Barry used his super speed to run around and check the perimeter. Oliver just crossed his arms.
- I'm sorry man, it's faster this way.
- I know you're fast Barry – Oliver made a no with his head at Barry's pun. – So?
- Nothing… I don't think he is here anymore…
- Felicity? – Oliver said in his comm – Are you sure this is the right location?
- I am sure it was… It's not anymore… He left…
- Great! – Oliver said in frustration.
Barry looked at Oliver, noticing he was grumpier than usual, so he decided to try and find out what was going on.
- Are you ok?
- Yes!
- Ollie!
- Barry!
They looked at each other and Oliver exhaled, crossing his arms once again.
No, he was not ok. Because he hasn't heard from her since the day she last visited their Earth and they hooked up in his bedroom. It was months ago, but he couldn't tell that to people because they decided to keep their relationship a secret. Yes, Oliver Queen and Kara Danvers were seeing each other and not one single soul that knew them, knew about it. It looked like she vanished, she never again contacted him and things were crazy as ever with him, it was hard to keep track of what was going on with Kara. It wasn't like he could just ask Cisco to breach him to Earth 38 as well, because of the damn secret now he was regretting. He couldn't just tell people now, without talking to Kara first as well. It was an impossible situation, so yes; he was not ok, not at all.
- I'm just stressed with things in the City Hall. That FBI woman was a pain in my ass, half the team departed… Things are rough.
- I'm sorry to hear about that. But things will get better, you'll see.
- I hope so! – Oliver said looking at the ground. It was the best excuse he could give, his actual problems most people knew about.
As they left the place, walking outside, Oliver thought it wasn't going to hurt asking. He had to.
- Have you heard from Kara lately?
- Hum… No… Why?
- Nothing… It's just weird; she's never away from here that long…
- Now that you mentioned… Yes... It's weird… I wish I could check on her there, but my hand is full with the Thinker now… - Barry said as he scratched his head, trying to find a solution.
- Well, I can go. William is with Thea right now and I need a break from this FBI thing for a moment…
- Well, you told me the ones that left you are still fighting for the city… I guess one day away won't hurt, right? Thanks man!
Oliver thought to himself he was the one thankful. Barry asked him to meet Cisco in the morning at Star Labs so he could be breached to Kara's Earth and Oliver agreed, saying good bye to his friend and going back home in his motorcycle once Felicity told him they had lost track of the meta and that there was nothing they could now.
Once home, Oliver took a shower and lay on his bed. He was truly worried and couldn't help but think what happened. Thank God he was going to find out now.
He felt his insides burning, his heart racing. Having her in his arms was the best feeling in the world and he felt like he could stay like this forever. Her skin against his, her kisses, it was all like a dream. He felt Kara opening her mouth a bit wider so his tongue could have full access of hers, battling it in an amazing way. Suddenly he felt a warm liquid through his arms and looked at it.
It was blood.
Kara's blood.
He was confused. How could she be bleeding? He looked at her and saw pain in her face, her eyes full of tears. Bruises started appearing all over her face, starting on her shoulders, she was literally covered in blood, her lips bruised.
- I… need… you… help! – Kara whispered to him.
Oliver jumped from his bed, sweating all over. It was just a nightmare. He looked around and it was still late. He felt frustrated. He needed one of those extrapolator things as soon as possible.
In the morning, Oliver did as Barry asked him and stopped by Star Labs so Cisco could breach him. Once he got to the DEO, he couldn't help but notice everyone there was anxious, feeling nervous and with worried looks on their faces.
Something was wrong.
Oliver looked for Alex all over and finally found her walking through a corridor. He ran towards her.
- Oliver? What are you doing here?
- They sent me to check if everything's ok. We never again heard from Kara… It's everything ok? – Oliver tried his best to keep his cool.
- Come with me…
Alex guided him to an empty room. She closed the door behind her and looked worried at Oliver.
- Something happened… You see, Kara is a kryptonian and we just found out recently about world killers.
- World killers?
- Biological weapons created in Krypton by their scientists. Not even Kara knew about them, since it was nothing but a myth. But it's true. They are real, deadly… One of them calls herself Reign. Kara faced her last week and…
- Is Kara ok?
- She… She was beaten pretty heavily. – Alex's eyes filled with tears – I never saw her like this, it was so scary… We managed to stabilize her but… She is in some sort of coma.
Oliver looked at Alex with a blank face. There was no way he could disguise his worries about her now, and he couldn't care less if anyone found out about them.
So Kara was in a coma after having fought a lunatic kryptonian weapon. She actually almost died, according to Alex.
- Can I see her?
Alex nodded with her head and brought him to where Kara was. It was strange ship, with containers full of water. Kara was inside of one, floating with her eyes closed and her hair all around the water.
- It's technology from the 31st century. There is a team of heroes from the future helping us against Reign and helping Supergirl.
Oliver approached her and Alex left the room, leaving Oliver alone. Oliver touched the container feeling a deep sadness inside of him, he couldn't explain.
- I can't help but feeling my dream was a message from you…
He took a deep breath, feeling like an idiot talking alone, but he needed to let it all out.
- I wish somebody told us what was going on. We could have helped somehow… - He touched the glass of the container, wishing nothing more to be able to touch her face and see her bright blue eyes staring at him with such joy and passion as she used to. – You need to wake up Kara… You need to come back to your family, friends… to me. – His head rested on the glass as he closed his eyes, trying to contain his tears. - I love you, damn it!
It was so bright and so familiar there, Kara felt like she could never leave this place. Little Kal was playing on the ground with a few toys while her parents talked in the living room. Kara stood there, watching the scene and thinking how glad she was to see them alive, to see little Kal as she should have seen, a kid that she was supposed to help on Earth. But this, this was not Earth. She recognized the furniture, the architecture… It was Krypton, her beloved planet. It was whole again; she was in peace.
Kara walked to her bedroom and as she passed by the mirror on the wall, she felt like she had seen something there, like a shadow. She looked closer to it and saw it, in its corner. The shadow came closer to her and she felt scared.
What was happening? Was she finally insane?
She looked again and saw a known figure. It was Oliver Queen, standing there in the reflection of her mirror. She turned her head and saw no one in her room. She was definitely going crazy, she thought, but when she looked to the mirror again, there was him, standing and looking at her with loving eyes.
Yes, she remembered him. She missed him. But she was happy; she finally had everything she ever wanted.
- Kara? – She heard him say.
- Oliver?
- Kara, you need to wake up… I love you, damn it!
Kara felt really confused because it was like he wasn't seeing her. What was happening?
She felt her erratic breath weakening as she tried to focus. It was not real indeed. It was something from her mind.
Was she trapped again like that time with that parasite? It definitely felt like it.
- Kara, you got beaten but the war is not over. I believe you. I know you have the strength inside you... – Oliver kept telling her without really seeing her.
War?
Oh… Now she remembered.
Reign has defeated her. She was hurt pretty bad. She almost died.
Was she in a coma?
Oh Rao. She needed to wake up.
Kara looked around, feeling desperate. She needed to wake up now. People were dying. They needed her.
Oliver took a few steps back from the container as he noticed it drain the water. The glass opened and Kara fell down, not hitting the floor thanks to Oliver that grabbed her just in time.
Oliver caressed her wet hair, kissing her forehead while holding her in his arms. Kara started opening slowly her eyes and smiled weakly as she saw Oliver holding her.
- I saw you. – She said – You were telling me to wake up.
- You heard me! – He smiled, kissing her fully on the lips – I'm so glad you're awake.
- How did you know?
- I got worried after I never again heard of you. I managed to worry Barry enough so he could send me here, since he couldn't come. Also… I saw you in my dreams, asking for my help.
Kara looked at him with wide eyes. She remembered having a dream about kissing Oliver in his bedroom, in a really hot way. She remembered feeling pain in the dream and asking desperately for his help. She was sure now they had a special bond, a special connection. Only that could make it possible for their minds to connect like that. Not that something like this ever happened to her, it was the first time actually. That is why she was so surprised.
- So our secret is still a secret?
- For them, sure. For your sister, I really doubt it… I couldn't keep calm after she told me what happened.
- It's ok. – She smiled, hugging him strongly and kissing him one more time.
The door opened and Alex came in, running after she saw Kara was finally awake.
- Oh my God! Kara! – She said hugging her sister and ignoring the fact she was still in Oliver's arms. – I'm so glad… How did it happen?
- I don't know how to explain… It just happened… I saw Oliver and then I woke up here.
- We need to check if you are ok and you need to recover. – Alex said as she got up.
Oliver helped Kara stand up, still hugging her.
He never felt so happy until now, seeing the love of his life awake again and in his arms. He was sure she was the love of his life and nothing would ever change that. Alex turned around and looked at the two of them with a funny face.
- By the way, you two never fooled me!
Alex walked in front of them and Oliver and Kara looked at each other, laughing.
- Hey! – Kara slowly pulled Oliver's shirt
- What? – He asked, caressing her face
- I love you too!
.
NOTES:
Spoiler Alert: Oliver is on a mission in Russia, against Anatoly. He finds Kara in her Supergirl suit, outside his cabin, in the cold and unconscious. She has half her memories and finds herself in a strange place with a strange hero she is sure she heard about it before and Oliver finds himself taking care of an alien from another Earth in the middle of a mission. The last thing he expected, was to fall forher.
