Chapter Summary: The story about how Oliver Queen proposed to Kara Danvers

.

20. The proposal

Kara woke up in the morning with no intention of getting out of her bed. She thought things would get easier but day after day, it was a nightmare. Her heart broke every time she thought about him, about how much she missed him. All her friends tried to cheer her up, her sister… Nothing could ease her pain, nothing could help her. She only could feel miserable all the time. She still saved the day, still went to work, but all she could feel was like a robot, going out, doing what she needed to do, and coming back to bed.

3 and half months passed and still no news from him.

What happened? What made him never visit again, or send some news?

She wanted to think things were pretty hard on his Earth, that something big was stopping him from showing up because she had a big problem with Reign and couldn't just visit him, not for a single second. Things got worse and worse before she could defeat her, and since Oliver was also a hero in his Earth and things were darker and heavier on his Earth, he could probably be going through similar stuff. She just hoped he was ok.

Because also the worse could have happened, but if this was the case, she would know by now.

Alex came once again, trying to cheer her up with no success. She was really worried about Kara.

- You need to go out of the apartment. – Alex came into her bedroom, pulling the covers and trying to make Kara get out of bed.

- I don't want to – She said stopping Alex and covering her head up.

- Kara!

- I'm not in the mood, Alex. It's Saturday. I want to stay in bed.

- This is not healthy!

- I'm worried. – Kara sat on her bed and looked at Alex. – I can't focus when I'm worried… And I am! I can't help but wonder what happened. If he is ok…

- I'm sure he is with his team dealing with something crazy.

- They should come for help if it was that ugly…

- We just defeated Reign Kara, it was literally yesterday. We wouldn't be able to help.

- But now we can! I'm waiting until tonight, if I have no news from him; I'm going to his Earth.

- Then I am coming with you!

- There's no need, Alex.

- If this is a dangerous situation, yes, there is. I know you are invincible and all, but one more pair of hands wouldn't hurt.

Kara gave up arguing and got up, going to the kitchen. She needed something to eat or she would stay on bed the whole day.

She ate her breakfast with Alex as they talked about Earth 1 teams when a breach opened in the middle of her living room and she got up in a hurry.

- Hey Kara! – Barry said as he hugged her in a worried kind of way.

- Hey Barry! – She hugged him back – It's everything ok?

- Not that much… We need your help guys. I'm sorry; it looks like we are always abusing your kindness… But this time is a really serious thing.

- More than the Nazi invasion? – Alex looked at Barry not being able to think about anything worse than that.

- Yes.

Alex and Kara looked to each other and Kara nodded with her head. She looked at Barry and grabbed his hand.

- You have nothing to apologize for; this is what friends are for, right? Whenever you need me, just call me. I will change and we can go.

- I'm coming with you guys! – Alex smiled at Barry as Kara changed in seconds

- The more the merrier! – Barry smiled at them – We need your extrapolator… Cisco couldn't come so he just opened the breach for me…

- Ok – Kara smiled as she grabbed her device and opened a breach.

They were on Star Labs hangar with the rest of Flash team waiting for them. Kara was hopeful to see Oliver and looked around curious, finding it weird he wasn't there.

- Is Oliver coming?

- Team Arrow had a serious problem in Star City. We would have helped them, but they told us to go meet the legends first. According to Sara's message it couldn't wait.

- Do you know if he's ok? He vanished for 3 months…

- I confess I'm worried myself. But I don't know for sure… I was arrested…

- Oh my Rao, what happened?

- I was falsely accused of murderer. And while I was in jail, my team was against this lunatic guy, it was crazy… I thought you guys talked to each other…

- I was dealing with an evil lunatic alien myself, so I couldn't visit, but he stopped even sending messages or calling on the extrapolator. I'm afraid something bad happened.

- C'mon Kara, it's Oliver. I'm sure he is ok. It's just this life, you know... I barely had a proper calm time with Iris since the wedding. Our honeymoon was interrupted and after that, one problem after another.

- I wish we could take a small vacation – Kara joked – By the way…What are we waiting for?

- This – Barry pointed behind Kara.

She looked behind her and saw a huge ship landing. It was the Wave Rider. They went inside once the doors opened and Alex smiled as she saw Sara.

- We have to go now!

- And about team Arrow? – Barry said as he nodded to the others with his head

- There's no time, man! We need to fix an anachronism that could end the world at any time now. The world it's in great danger! – Nate said as he sat on the chair of the ship.

A few more chairs appeared and they all sat down, Iris holding Barry's hand as she sat beside him. Caitlin was in a chair besides Kara and looked worried at her.

- It's everything ok, Kara?

- Yes… I'm just worried about Oliver.

- I'm sure he is ok.

- Ok guys, let's go! – Sara warned everyone as she got ready to pilot – Gideon, you know what to do! – She smiled to herself.

- Yes, Captain Lance!

Kara felt something funny as the ship took flight. She could see they entered a weird place, it was like green smoke and waves and suddenly they were in space.

Maybe they needed to stop an asteroid? Or maybe it was another alien invasion? She looked at Alex who was looking at the floor, lost on her own thoughts.

- We are here! – Sara said as she got up from her chair.

- Here where? – Kara looked at her feeling curious about where they were and what they were going to face.

The doors of the Wave Rider opened and one by one they got out of the ship. Kara and Alex were the last ones out and when Kara stepped outside, she held Alex's hand really tight.

- Ouch, Kara, you're…

- This… - Kara said as she looked around in awe, not believing in what she was seeing. – This is Krypton!

- Ok…You can break my hand… - Alex smiled awkwardly as she murmured to herself.

Kara let go of Alex's hand and looked at Sara. Alex massaged her hands and looked at Kara.

- What is going on? Why are we on Krypton?

Sara smiled at Kara and the others did it as well.

Ok, now she was confused. What in Rao's name was happening?

- Because I asked them.

She turned around and saw Oliver.

- WHAT? - She looked at him in disbelief.

Kara ran towards Oliver's arms and he kissed her with all the passion he had inside. She kissed him back, not believing she was actually seeing him. Then, she thought about the absurd. How could they be in Krypton? And for what?

She let go of Oliver and slapped him on the arms. Oliver felt a small pain but ignored it.

- Why did you disappear? Why did you ask Sara to bring us to Krypton and how are we here? This… - She looked around and then, back at Oliver.

- Do we have to watch the whole thing? – Mick whispered to Amaya.

- Mick! – She looked in disapproval to him.

- I can explain – Oliver said as he reached for her hand. – I need to show you something.

He held her hand that was trembling and walked with her away from others. Mick looked at everyone, not feeling up to be there standing and waiting.

- Ok, they are gone… I'll grab a lunch. – He said as he went back to the Wave Rider and came back with a bottle of beer and a huge sandwich on his other hand.

Kara looked around; feeling like it was all a dream. It was just exactly like she remembered. Her heart warmed up and she felt something twisting on her stomach. All her old feelings were coming back and she felt overwhelmed. She looked at Oliver once they stopped walking. She looked to her front, recognizing the place.

- Its home… - She said, with tears in her eyes. – It's where I grew up… How?

- This is Krypton from Earth 1. I did some research and found out it never exploded…

- My parents are alive here? – She looked at him, feeling dizzy out of sudden – They never let this world's version of me go…

Kara felt a small bit of jealousy, to know the version of her from this Earth still had her whole family with her, her home was safe.

- I know this looks cruel – Oliver said as he looked at her – Showing you all of this, but the thing is… I know how much you miss your planet, and for what we came here for, I couldn't just go to your Earth and back in time to do this on your own planet…

- Do this? What? – Kara looked more confused than ever at Oliver.

Oliver mentioned for her to go inside. He followed her as she looked around, feeling emotional. She couldn't even stop the tears from falling.

- I was facing a guy called Richard Dragon. He planned to bring me down, me and my team, for months. 3 months ago he kidnapped me and I really thought I was going to die. For the first time ever, I thought: that's it. I won't give you the details because they are too horrible, I'm still recovering from that and to be honest I don't think I will lever recover 100%...

- Of course you will Oliver, I'm here for you, don't you remember? – Kara said as she caressed Oliver's cheeks.

She felt terrible to know he was kidnapped and probably tortured by the look in his face. And it broke her heart to know she wasn't able to be there for him and help him.

- I wish I could have come and help you…

- I imagined you were dealing with heavy stuff; I know you would have come if you could – Oliver smiled at her as he gave her a small peck on her lips. – And I am glad to see you are ok, I was so worried… But, the thing is… When my team finally rescued me and we finally took the bastard down, this was last week. They asked me to calm down and try to rest and recover. And while I wasn't able to go anywhere or do anything, I thought a lot about a lot of things.

Kara looked into his eyes noticing he was really nervous.

- I thought about how the last time I saw you, I never said a few things I wanted to say for a while. I finally could see things clearly. I finally saw that I was being an idiot.

- Oliver why…

- Kara Zor El. – He said as he held her hand and caressed it – I asked Sara to see with Gideon if this Earth still had Krypton and she told me there was never an explosion. I know how much your home, your culture, your planet meant to you and I know that this is not the same place you grew up in, but I thought you would like to see it once again.

- It's exactly like my Krypton – She smiled, still mesmerized by the place.

- I was hoping it was. I asked the legends to bring me here first, so I could learn a thing or two about the place, the language… By the things you told me once, it's all the same. And I knew I had to do what I had to do in a special place and there's no place more special than home…

- Oliver…

Oliver got to his knee and grabbed a small velvet box. He reached for her hand and held the box with her hand as he looked deep into her eyes.

- I stand here, on my knees in kryptonian soil to ask you if you want to make me the happiest man alive and marry me.

Kara was in awe, more tears coming down her face. She covered her mouth with her free hand and smiled, holding the box in her hand.

- Yes!

She whispered and Oliver got up, holding her tight as he kissed her passionately. His heart was beating so fast against his chest; he thought it was going to go through it.

- I can't believe you did all of this for me… - She said as she kissed him, still crying from all the feels she had right now.

- I would literally move Earth and space for you, babe!

- You gave me the opportunity to see my planet once again… And to propose here… This is something I will never forget, thank you! – She said as their foreheads touched.

- I am the one to thank you. – He said as he hugged her by the waist, looking her deep into her eyes. – To think about you, kept me alive while I was imprisoned. You saved me, future Kara Queen.

- I can't wait to be your wife! – She said as he grabbed the beautiful ring and put it on her finger. – I loved it.

- You deserve the best, and I'm the one who can't wait to be your husband.

Kara smiled, bringing her lips closer to his once again and giving her another kiss.

- I think we better go back to the others… They can arrive at any time now – Oliver said as Kara smiled, nodding with her head.

- Ok… - She grabbed his hand and they walked back to the Wave Rider.

Once they approached the others, Oliver smiled at everyone.

- Is he able to smile? I never thought he could… - Cisco whispered to Barry that laughed at his joke.

- She said yes!

Everyone cheered and clapped, congratulating them. Alex hugged Kara as she smiled.

- Did you know?

- Of course I did.

- This is cruelty Alex! I spent months worried!

- Oh, I knew he was going to propose and why he vanished just last week. Before that we all were dead worried as well. We were all bummed we couldn't help before when we found out. They just asked me not to tell you what happened and that Barry would come for us.

- I can't believe you guys! – Kara said as she looked at Barry.

- Sorry… Oliver's orders.

Kara couldn't believe her friends; neither could she believe Oliver's efforts to make it all so special to her. He literally brought her to another planet just to propose to her and make sure it would be something she would never forget. She had the best fiancé ever and felt the luckiest person in the world.

- Let's go guys, we need to go back and have a huge party to celebrate! – Sara said as she called them all back to the Wave Rider.

NOTES 2:

SPOILER ALERT: Prompt by Jasw: "I have this idea in my head and would love to share it with you and see if you can bring it to life. It could take place before reign or after defeats her. Both oliver and kara are feeling down after the wedding kara having to constantly see mon el with imra and oliver dealing with felicitys rejection since she did not marry him and he decided to end it. One of them you choose who gets saved by their son or daughter again your choice and the child has karas powers and olivers skills. The child got displaced in time and needs their help to go back making one of the contact the other to explain about their child and having them come together to help their child and realize that they are destined to be with each other and that a great future awaits them. It would be awesome if oliver had to go to earth 38 and mon el had to see the family together. I think is fair since kara has been in so much pain and thinking that she is destined to be alone."

I pick daughter. And I'm excited for this one.
