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.

21. I know you from somewhere
Barry walked back to the table he shared with Oliver and Kara in his favorite Bar in Central City. He brought drinks and Kara smiled.
- Club soda is amazing everywhere.
- I just don't get it what's the appeal… Its carbonated water – Oliver looked at Kara being so happy with her drink. That was something he never understood in the meantime he got to know her.
- That's the appeal. It's so simple… It's delicious!
- I wish I could get drunk – Barry said as he sat down and looked at his friends.
- Life's that bad? – Oliver joked.
- No, it's just… I need a special drink only Cisco can make… It's sad…
- On my Earth we have this alien bar that makes amazing special drinks for people who wants to get drunk and can't… - Kara said casually.
- And you know this because…? – Barry looked surprised at Kara.
- My ex challenged me once and one drink got me really wasted. I have the same issues with alcohol that you do Barry. And I discovered that day that I hate it – She gave a small laugh as she drank her club soda. – Not funny!
- I'll be right back – Barry said as he got up again – Bathroom… - He smiled and turned around.
An awkward silence fell between Kara and Oliver as they kept drinking and looking at each other. Kara blushed as she noticed Oliver's eyes on her and she tried to hide it, failing miserably.
They have been teaming up from time to time, jumping between their Earths to help each other. Kara and Oliver ended up becoming a bit closer than any of them expected and now things were a bit weird. Kara knew she felt nervous around him but she had no idea how to deal with her feelings, or what was those messed up feelings. She wasn't sure of anything but one thing she had in her mind: Long distance – universes away distance – relationships wasn't a good idea.
- Listen… - Oliver started, clearly tired of that silence. He felt his heart beating a bit faster as he felt nervous about bringing the subject up – About that kiss…
- It's ok Oliver. – She said as she finished her drink – I don't regret it…
- Neither do I, and that's what I wanted to talk to you about…
- But...
- There is always a but… - Oliver lowered his head, murmuring to himself, knowing she could listen. He looked back at her, waiting for it.
- But – She said it again and reached for his hand – Things could never work like that between us… You know it…
- Actually, I don't… Cisco makes it work…
- Cisco is human, you are human… I am an alien; I was meant to be alone.
- I don't believe that! No one was meant to be alone, Kara.
- I was. I tried once, it failed… I still have to look at the proof of that every day in my life. – She said with sadness in her eyes.
- It's ok. I understand, I mean, I don't… But if you think it can't work, then I will respect it. – Oliver got up – I need some air; I'll be right back.
- Oliver… - Kara said but Oliver was already going outside.
Barry was still on the bathroom and Kara was alone at the table, lost in her thoughts, when a tall guy came in, holding a gun and ordering everyone to lie down on the ground. Oliver came back in a hurry and ready to attack him but something weird happened really fast. He felt a strong wind coming to his direction and then in a few seconds, the guy was down, tied up and his gun far away.
- Barry… - He murmured, when he looked at Kara and felt confused.
- Wait outside, I saw who that was.
- What? – Oliver asked but Kara left in super speed while no one was watching.
Oliver went outside and saw Kara holding a little girl. Ok, now he was beyond confused.
- Are you ok? Hurt? – The girl asked when she turned her head to see Oliver.
- Yes, I'm… Who are you?
- I really can't tell… I just came here to save you, that's all…
- Are you a meta? – Oliver asked, looking from the girl to Kara.
- Are you lost? – Kara asked as she kept holding the girl by her shoulders.
- I am lost, yes. Am I a meta? No. I really can't tell you…
- You need to tell us if you need our help! – Oliver crossed his arms, standing by her side.
The girl had electric blue eyes and waved blonde hair in a ponytail. She wore black pants and a blue t-shirt and looked like she was around 10 years old. She looked like she was torn, wanting to tell them, but afraid of what might happen. She looked down her feet and murmured to herself.
- Aunt Sara said once old Martin met his younger self and he found out about time travel, so… It won't hurt… - She lifted her head and looked really nervous at the two of them. – I'm your daughter!
Oliver was going to ask what but he choked and started coughing. Kara looked at her, perplexed and confused.
- I'm sorry, what?
- I'm your daughter. My name is Alura Zor El Queen.
- How long was I in the bathroom? – Barry said as he went outside and found that really crazy scene.
- That's a big name… - Oliver said still coughing.
- You picked, because of grandma Alura… You said it was a beautiful way to carry her name… Hi Uncle Barry! – She waved.
- Hi… - Barry waved back, still perplexed.
- I'm from the future!
Automatically, Kara and Oliver crossed their arms, looking at Barry like he did something really messed up.
- I have nothing to do with this! I swear!
- Barry! – Oliver said in a moody voice.
- I'm telling the truth!
- He is telling the truth – Alura said as she took one step closer. – I have your powers – She pointed at Kara – and your archery skills – She pointed at Oliver. – I was practicing at home and an accident brought me here. Uncle Barry told me once if something like this ever happen that I should never reveal myself or tell who I was, and taught me how to fix it, and I was about to but… I saw that man and had to do something…
- You altered the past?
- No. Dad never told me about this today.
- I think he's not that comfortable with this day… or whatever – Oliver said as he scratched his head and looked at Kara. – It looks like things worked out anyway.
Kara came closer to the girl with an annoyed look in her face as she heard Oliver. She was really curious about that. If that was true, she needed to know how that was possible. She knew it was dangerous to know about her future, but she had to.
- I can't have kids with humans. Our DNA's doesn't match… How is that possible?
- You told me you had one solar flare… You lost your powers for a moment and became human. You and dad were dating so… - She smiled with a knowing look on her face that made Kara blush hard.
- How old are you again? – Barry looked at her, not able to process everything that was happening at once, even with all his speed.
- I'm 11.
- You said you have my skills and Kara's powers… Can we go to Star Labs, now? – Oliver looked from the girl to Barry, still feeling suspicious about all of that.
- Sure. – Barry said as he looked at the girl.
- I'll race you there – The girl smiled at Barry and took off, Barry following her.
- It's ok, use your speed… - Oliver said as he walked to his bike.
- I won't leave you alone…
- Kara, I'm ok.
He used his serious tone and Kara just looked at him as he drove away. She took flight and followed right after.
In Star Labs they met at the cortex. Barry thought it was better to let others out of this since too many people knowing something about the future could be dangerous. He watched while the girl showed all her skills. She could fly, she had super strength, she was like Kara, made of steel, she had x-ray vision, heat vision and all other abilities not even Barry knew Kara had. Oliver looked also impressed and startled. She started shooting arrows, hitting all moving targets and had amazing skills at had on hand combat. She came back to the main room, smiling at Kara and Oliver perplexed faces.
- How you are so well trained at such young age?
- You trained me, dad!
- Did I? – Oliver asked.
- Yes. Mom wanted to wait but you convinced her it was important. I can't tell much more about the rest of your future, I know that… But… You insisted for me to know how to defend myself, in case I needed to.
- Some things never change… - Barry said with a funny look at Oliver.
- I… I'm sorry to be reacting like this it's just that… - Kara said as she took a few steps towards the girl, starting to accept the whole idea. – I thought some things were impossible to me…
- I know. You told me you cried when I was born. You both did. – She looked at them as they looked at each other. – You told me how Grandma Eliza always told you about you being a blessing in her life, even if you were not from Earth. That it was like a miracle that fell out of the sky…
- Oliver there is no way she could have known this if she wasn't indeed my daughter – Kara said in awe.
She never told anyone about this, about Eliza talking to her about her being a miracle and those exact words. She looked at the blonde girl and hugged her, smiling.
- I'm convinced… - Oliver whispered in a serious tone as he kept his thoughts to himself.
- I was going to offer to use red Sun lamps so we could test her blood, but I don't think we need it… - Barry said as he looked at Kara and the girl. She looked exactly like a mini Kara, but had Oliver's scary look in her eyes.
- How this accident happened? – Kara said as she sat down on a chair, the girl sitting next to her.
Oliver stood up with his arms crossed.
- A woman named Vixen visited us in Star City a few months ago… She asked you to keep a totem safe, the air totem or something like this. She told you there was a bad man after it, and it couldn't be kept with her, he would find it easily.
- And you know who this bad man was? – Barry asked.
- Damien… Damien Darkh…
- WHAT? – Oliver looked furious at her, not believing what he was hearing.
- I knew you would react like that. You told me once how you hated him when you taught me to resist magic tricks…
- I just… I hate this guy! I can't believe he is back! How by the way?
- You don't want to know… - The girl looked serious at him – Believe me. So… He found out I was your daughter and somehow found out about green kryptonite. He kidnapped me, I fought him but he was so much stronger… He kept me displaced in time.
- Oh my Rao! – Kara covered her mouth with her hands. Her protective instinct was already kicking in and she couldn't wait to meet this Darkh guy and throw him in space.
- The Legends found me. Aunt Sara was surprised to know about me, she kept the information about de identity of my parents from the others, and she said it was dangerous for them to know because they are your friends. She was about to bring me back to my time when they had an urgent mission and I stayed on the ship. I asked Gideon to bring me to the moment you fell in love; I wanted to see it because mom always told me this story in a way that made me wish I was there.
Kara blushed as she looked at Oliver. He gave her a tiny smile and she turned her attention back to Alura.
- Gideon said it was a bad idea, that Aunt Sara would be really angry with me. So I started looked around, I was bored. I found the jump ship and got stuck inside of it. I don't know exactly how I did it, I was trying to open the door, but I ended up here.
- This is… - Oliver started but Alura interrupted him.
- I know crazy! But… I think I was brought here for some reason… I like to believe in destiny… uncle Barry taught me to believe in destiny. I can see you are confused and clearly scared and surprised… I never thought I was going to come back to before you got together, but I was sure about my intentions… You might not see it now, but you are meant to be together… I see in both your eyes, how you look at each other, is the same way you do in the future. You just don't know yet, but it's there…
- I think this is way too much information for them… I will call the Legends to help bring you back to your time – Barry said, worried the girl was going to tell them more about things they shouldn't know.
Alura looked excitedly at Oliver and Kara and Oliver felt suspicious about that.
- You want something… - He said.
- Busted, as always… - She laughed – Ok… Can I see the DEO?
- No… No way… Its way too dangerous…- Kara said as she got up and looked at the girl.
- Please, please! In my time it's so different and you always talk about how things were in the past. I'm curious… Can I see it? Just for a second?
- No way! – Oliver said, crossing his arms.
He looked at Kara that smiled at him.
- It's just for a second, though… It can't hurt…
- Kara…
- YAS! – The girl jumped from the chair in excitement.
Kara grabbed her extrapolator and Oliver told her he was coming with them just in case. It needed to be really fast because Legends were coming to pick her up.
Kara showed Alura the whole DEO with Oliver following them around. The girl was really excited about it. By the end of the tour, they found J'onn with his arms crossed and looking suspicious at Kara and Oliver.
- I know who this is! You need to bring her back to her time. And don't let anyone know who she is!
- She just wanted to see the place because…
- Stop. I don't need to hear about the future, Kara. – J'onn said in a serious voice – Please, bring her back.
Kara nodded with her head and walked with Oliver and Alura to the main room, to open a breach back to Earth 1.
- Kara? Hey… I didn't know you were back… - Mon El said as he came in the corridor.
- Yes… I am but… I need to go back to Earth 1… It was good to see you – She replied awkwardly.
- Who's this? – He asked about the little girl that Kara held by her hand.
Kara was going to give an excuse but the need to tell him was stronger, for some reason. She couldn't just hold back.
- My daughter with Oliver… From the future…
Oliver was about to say something but kept quiet, just looking down. Mon El looked surprised at them and then at the girl.
- Wow… This… I… How?
- She's here by accident… I need to help her go back to her time…See you later!
Kara turned her back to Mon El and walked faster.
- Wasn't Alura's parents supposed to be a secret? – Oliver asked standing by Kara
- I had to tell him!
- He looked hurt.
- He deserved!
Oliver kept quiet, not saying another word as he noticed the tone in Kara's voice. She was clearly still hurt over the fact her ex came back from the future married to someone else. And he understood her pain; he couldn't blame her for wanting to make the guy suffer. He was secretly glad he could help somehow, he wanted to punch that idiot for making Kara suffer, she just had no idea about it.
Back on Earth 1, Sara and Barry waited for Alura, Oliver and Kara in the cortex. Once Sara saw Alura, she smiled relived.
- You scared us!
- I'm sorry, it was an accident.
- I know it was… But you have any idea how dangerous it is that you are here now?
- I know…
- No you don't.
- Hey, don't talk to my kid like that, Sara!
- I'm sorry Oliver, but she needs to understand the consequences… This – Sara pointed around – All of this can have huge consequences to your future, their future. I know you meant no harm, but my job as captain of the Legends is to keep the timeline safe.
Oliver looked at Sara understanding what she was saying. He felt an instinct to stop her from giving Alura the lecture but deep down he knew she was right. Barry was also worried, he better than anyone knew how this could change everything in the future.
- You are lucky I have a way to fix this. – Sara smiled at Oliver and Kara.
- First… How is Darkh back? She told us about what he did.
Sara scratched her forehead with her eyes closed and then looked at Oliver.
- It's ok; I have a way to fix this, so it's ok… Is the second time he is back, actually. Last year Reverse Flash recruited him and Merlyn to help him with a devious plan…
- Reverse Flash, why am I not surprised? – Barry said as he rolled his eyes.
- And now, his daughter brought him back to life. She has a demon inside her, something like that… It was not pretty…
- You were right, I regret asking now… - Oliver said looking at Alura like he was so done with all those crazy things.
- We are handling it… - Sara reassured him – So don't worry. We can take the devil's family… His daughter is not that bad, Ray thinks she has some good inside of her, but that's beside the point…
- You said you have a way to fix it… How? – Kara asked feeling curious.
- We have these things that can wipe memories… We can erase the last few hours so we can protect her future and yours.
- We wouldn't remember a single thing about her? – Oliver asked
- No!
- Can we talk in private for a moment? – Kara asked as she looked at the three of them.
Barry nodded and went away with Sara and Alura. Once they got alone, Kara and Oliver looked at each other. Kara had no idea what to say. She was so sure they couldn't ever work, that was a bad idea trying long distance relationship. She was so sure she needed to be only Supergirl, that she had no space for love in her life, not after her last heartbreak. And now, she found out she had space not for one new love, but for two. And now she had to forget about it. Forget that she still had a shot at this, that her crush grew into something more in the future, that she stopped worrying at some point and gave in to her desire and feelings. This was so unfair.
Oliver looked at Kara, not feeling like he wanted to forget it all. It was the answer to his prayers. He always wondered if Kara felt the same, if they had any chance… Alura was his answer. Yes, they would have a chance. And by what she told them, they are a happy family in the future. He decided he wanted this, he wanted this future. He only wishes he could know what Kara was thinking.
- This is all so confusing and surprising…
- I know. – Oliver whispered, still looking at Kara, deep in her eyes.
- She is our daughter… Ours… I mean… - Kara looked at Oliver, giving a few steps closer to him. – It means somehow we will make it work…
- I am as surprised as you are… For so long I waited for answers…
- Now you have it…
They looked at each other, lost in each other's eyes.
- I'm sorry about calling that kiss a mistake…
- It's ok; you had just as many doubts I had.
- You were willing to try, even with all the mess in our lives going on.
- I still am.
Kara looked at him and smiled, bringing her lips closer to his and giving him a kiss. Her hands caressed his neck as he embraced her by the waist.
- We still have to do it…
- I don't want to forget – Oliver whispered
- But we have to… We will find our way to each other somehow. – Kara smiled as she took a few steps back and turned around.
Sara was preparing herself to wipe their memories as she came back from the Wave Rider, where she left Alura.
- She is being watched by the others. – Sara smiled at them – I might have to lie to you guys, if you ask me anything… I'm sorry about that.
- It's ok, just do it before I regret it. – Oliver said as he closed his eyes.
Sara used her device on Oliver, Barry and Kara and watched as they opened their eyes and looked confused at her.
- We were supposed to be at the bar… - Kara said in a really confused tone – Sara? What are you doing here? What are we doing here?
- I'm feeling so weird… This is not cool! – Oliver said, looking around.
- You guys asked for a backup. A crazy meta showed up… He can wipe people's memories. And I have no idea what happened the last few hours because I got here right when he was attacking you. We took care of him, but you got hit, so…
- Shit! – Barry said – I hate feeling like I am missing something… But I'm glad everyone's ok.
- It was nice to help you guys, but I need to go back now… My team it's waiting for me. – Sara hugged the three of them and waved goodbye, leaving.
- Guys, I'm going home, Iris is waiting for me – Barry said as he checked his phone
- That's ok; we can hang out any other day. – Oliver smiled as Kara hugged him and Barry left as well.
Kara and Oliver looked at each other and Kara blushed. She couldn't help but feeling weird. Like something huge was missing. She also felt a funny taste on her lips. She touched them with her fingers and closed her eyes. That taste was so familiar…
- Are you feeling weird as well?
- What? – Kara woke from her trance and looked at Oliver
- Do you feel like something was missing?
- Yes. It's so weird…
- See… I wanted to talk to you about that kiss… From the other day…
- Its ok Oliver… - She felt her heart jump a bit by hearing Oliver mention it.
It was something that was on her mind for a while now, making her lose sleep over it, and have dreams about it. Since they kissed, she felt like wanting to do it again, but at the same she was scared. She wasn't sure if Oliver was ok with it, if he regretted it. She hated feeling anxious and not knowing. Oliver looked at her nervously since he brought up the subject, like he couldn't wait to get all of it out of his chest.
- I don't regret a bit of it! – She finally said it. – I was scared about what it meant… for us…
- It means we like each other – He gave a few steps towards her – At least I guess you do, the way you kissed me told me that… Am I wrong?
- No – She whispered as she grabbed his neck, reaching for his lips.
Oliver kissed Kara back passionately and she finally discovered where the taste she had in his mouth came from.
His lips.
