27. Teenage Nightmare
Kara flew home as Supergirl after a long day of hard work at CatCo and saving the world for the rest of the day: Criminals, burning buildings, a bomb about to destroy the entire city.
It was a lot.
She landed on her balcony and went fast to the bathroom. She needed a shower. A long and calm shower, and then she would put her pj's and eat something while she watches TV for the rest of the night until she falls asleep.
That was a perfect plan.
She was in her hot tube, enjoying a relaxing bath and thinking about life when she heard a noise in the living room. She was alone, so it was possible that someone just broke in.
Awesome, she thought, as she got up and put her pj's really fast, walking cautiously to find the source of the noise. She heard two people talking and noticed familiar voices.
- We came to the wrong place! – A deep voice, sounding like the person was about to murder someone said
- No, we didn't. It's here, I can tell! – I really excited voice said and Kara felt a bit confused as she stepped in the living room only to find Mick and Ray, with someone that looked like Oliver Queen, but he had a funny look and was unconscious in Mick's arms.
That was quite the scene.
- Hi Kara! – Ray said with a big smile in his face while Mick only nodded.
- I'm hungry! – He said after looking around. – And I wanted to visit another universe… New stuff to steal and all…
- Hi Ray, Mick! – Kara smiled politely as she looked at the kitchen. – I have food there on the table, from earlier… And you won't steal! Not in my watch!
- He is kidding – Ray laughed forcedly
- No, I'm not!
Mick dropped Oliver on Kara's couch and walked to her kitchen, opening the bag and grabbing doughnuts.
- Help yourself – She finished while looking confused at Ray. – What's going on?
- We had a small problem back on our Earth and we need your help… - Ray said.
- And this is… Oliver? – She pointed at the blonde guy with a weird hair.
- Yes… Funny story – Ray said awkwardly – We need to fix an anachronism and for his safety, we need your help, to take care of him… He is not safe in our Earth for the moment…
- Why does he look this weird?
- Oh, this is young Oliver… Like 20 something Oliver. Before becoming a vigilante.
- And what in Rao's name happened? I'm really confused.
- We have been dealing with people and stuff lost in time, in the wrong places… A mess… Napoleon ended up in a bar in Star City 2006 and Oliver here pissed him off.
- Oliver picked up a fight with… Napoleon? – Kara looked at Ray and then at Oliver as it was the craziest thing she has ever heard in her entire life… And she was an alien.
- Yes, he did. And now he is not safe in our Earth until we fix this… We called Star Labs but things there are just as crazy… And we need to prevent this Oliver from meeting his present self, to avoid a bigger disaster. We were really out of options, but Barry reminded us of the multiverse…
- Ok… I guess. I can help. He can stay for a while…It won't be a trouble…
Mick just let a small laugh out and Kara looked at him with a questioning look that he totally ignored. Ray gave Kara a huge smile and hugged her. Kara hugged him back after being caught by surprise.
- If he finds out about you and heroes it's ok, because we will erase his memory afterwards. It will feel like a really bad hangover. So don't worry.
- Ok… Wow… - Kara said after she looked at Oliver in her couch.
He was so different from the Oliver she knew. He seemed relaxed, lighter… It was really weird to see Oliver like this, no bear, longer hair.
- We need to go back now, but if anything bad happens, just call us. – Ray got up and looked at Mick – C'mon man, we need to go back.
- This is delicious! – Mick said as he licked his fingers.
- Next time I really want to get to know the city… - Ray smiled – I feel like this is an awesome place.
- I'll make sure to give you the tour. – Kara smiled as she hugged Ray again
- I promise you it won't take long… Well, if we don't screw things up for the worse, but we still will be back…
- Bye Ray! Bye Mick! – Kara smiled as she waved at them.
Ray pressed the button on the extrapolator he had in his hand and disappeared with Mick.
Kara looked at the couch and put her hands on her waist, looking at Oliver. She saw as he started to wake up, looking really lost around him. He then looked at Kara and stopped moving at all, mesmerized by her sight.
- Where… Who…
- I'm Kara Danvers and your friends brought you here for safety… - Kara smiled deciding to tell him half the truth. It would mess his head if he knew he was from the past and was in another Earth.
- Why? Am I in danger? I'm kidnapped? – He sat abruptly on the couch and looked scared at Kara.
- No, you were not kidnapped. You pissed off someone dangerous in a bar. And now you are here until your friends deal with Na…this someone dangerous.
- Oh, shit! – He pressed his hand into his forehead, closing his eyes – I got drunk again, I guess… Shit! – He opened his eyes again and looked at Kara, smiling – Well, at least I am with a pretty girl… Are you single?
- It's none of your business, mister! – She said as she crossed her arms, looking serious at him.
- Sorry… Had to try…
- By the looks of it, you are not! – She said as she noticed a ring on his hand
- I'm… It's complicated… I love her but I don't know, I'm confused…
- You should talk to her instead of hitting on other woman!
- You're probably right! – He smiled awkwardly at her.
- Well…You can stay on the couch and…I'll have to work early tomorrow, but you can stay inside…
- What? I'm stuck here? No. I want to go out… You can't stop me…
- Oh, you have no idea how I can…
- No offense but… I'm much stronger than you, lady…
Kara took a deep breath, asking Rao for patience. Oliver mentioned to her once he was a different person before this hero life, but she had no idea how annoying he was. She felt really offended by his comment and had an idea. Ray said they were going to erase his memory, right? She used her super speed and grabbed young Oliver by the collar, flying high with him in her balcony. Oliver looked terrified at her and down, noticing how high they were.
- WHAT THE HELL?
- Shhh! – Kara said as she smiled at him – You were saying?
- Ok, I'm sorry, bring me down…. please!
- Since you asked so nicely…
Kara brought him back to the ground as she watched him looking at her really scared. She felt bad for scaring him but she was equally pissed about his comment.
- I'm sorry if I scared you, but you weren't really nice… This way I can tell you… I'm a super hero in this world and I need you to keep this a secret. Because I won't let you walk out there alone and you proved me you are stubborn, so I had no choice. You can go out but only with me. This means you'll need to go to work with me and the DEO, where we work to save the world, so the sooner you know, the better… It's temporary, I'm sure your friends will come back for you soon.
- They are not my friends; I don't even know them…
- Yet…
- What?
- Nothing… - Kara said as she walked back inside, Oliver following her.
- Ok, what did you mean with this world? Like there was more out there, which it's insane… Right?
- Right… - Kara tried her best to disguise the tone in her voice. – They saved your life, so for now they are your friends. You will go back home as soon as possible, for now, you need to trust me… I know you just met me, but…
- I do.
Kara looked surprised at him as he smiled at her.
- I'm sorry I was a jerk before. I'm just really confused and tired… And I miss home…
- I understand… Now let's go sleep… Separately – She added as she noticed the look in his face – Tomorrow will be a long day
The next day, Kara brought Oliver to CatCo with the excuse he was a cousin from far away that couldn't be alone. Everyone bought it and she was glad for it.
She had to go out three times to interview people, go after a few clues and save someone that wanted to jump from a building and asked Oliver to stay inside CatCo while she was gone. Before leaving, Kara called Winn and introduced them, hoping he would help keep an eye on young Oliver.
Once she got back, she looked for Winn and found him alone in her table.
- Where is Oliver?
- I went to the bathroom for a while and when I came back, people said he was walking around the building.
- And you left him alone?
- He is not a pet and I'm not his owner, Kara. He just wants to walk for a while…
Kara never let Winn finish, walking away looking for Oliver as she used her x ray vision, to make it easier to find him. She stopped frightened as he looked inside a room, only to see Oliver and Cat's assistant hooking up in not an appropriate way. She opened the door with her eyes closed.
- This is you making things right with the fact that you have A GIRLFRIEND?
- You have a girlfriend, you bastard! – The girl slapped Oliver hard in the face.
- Yes, he does… - Kara smiled at the girl as she watched her leave, infuriated. – Put some clothes on! – Kara said in a furious way and waited outside.
As soon as Oliver got out, she grabbed him by his arms and used her super speed to bring him to her apartment.
- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
- Calm down, it was nothing…
- NOTHING? You have a GIRLFRIEND back home…And I feel sorry for her… Because right now, you are nothing but a jerk! I still can't believe how you turn to be…
- What? Turn to be what?
- Nothing!
- Wait, explain!
- There's nothing for you to understand. Just… Stay here. Or I'll put you in a place so high until your friends come back, you will never forget.
Kara walked around the place, with crossed arms and a furious look.
The different Oliver mentioned to her was actually a jerk. How on Earth did he manage to become someone so different? What happened to make this jerk become someone who actually cared for others? It was beyond her understanding. She started regretting helping them, feeling really mad at this version of Oliver.
After a while, Winn stopped by to see how things were going. Kara explained to him what happened and Winn looked in shock at Oliver lay on the couch with his eyes closed.
- This is that archer, friend of yours, from the past? Wow.
- I don't know what …
The phone rang and Oliver, by instinct, answered it.
- Oh, she is right here… Gorgeous voice, by the way. – He smiled as he flirted with someone on the phone and Kara looked annoyed at him. – Maybe the rest is also this beautiful…
- Ok, give me this! – Kara took the phone out of his hand, making him sit again. – You are flirting with my sister? For Rao's sake! – She held the phone in her ear, turning her attention to her conversation. - Hi, Alex…I'm sorry for that…I'll explain later…just give me a minute….
Kara looked at Winn with pleading eyes for help.
- Hey man, let's take you to drink something, ok? Let's go… Kara will be fine, right?
Kara nodded as Winn dragged Oliver out.
Kara scratched her forehead as she explained to Alex everything that happened.
- I swear I'm losing my patience…
- Deep breaths… You know you were not an easier teen right?
- He's 20 something Alex…
- Still… You said yourself that Oliver told you he was someone really different. And for what you told me, Oliver seems to be a person that regrets a lot of things and that feels guilty about a lot of things… Maybe all of this is important for him to become who he must become. To be a jerk now and go through whatever he went through… We all have those moments; you know? Remember when J'onn recruited me?
- You were arrested…
- Exactly. Just give him time and try to be patient. I know it's not easy… And when you talk to Oliver again, try to understand more…
- There's nothing more to understand, Alex… He cheats on his girlfriend…
- I meant the present Oliver…
- I don't know if I can talk about it with him…
- You should… Or this will change the way you see him, it might let things awkward… It's better to be safe than sorry right?
- Maybe you're right…
- I know I am! – Alex laughed on the phone.
Winn brought back a really drunk Oliver. He passed out on her couch once again as soon as he stepped in the apartment. Kara looked at Winn with questioning looks and Winn just gave her a weak smile.
- You are better off not knowing, believe me…
- For Rao…
- Good night, Kara…
Kara said goodbye to Winn and went to her bed. She had trouble sleeping, thinking about everything. Alex's words kept popping in her mind and she couldn't help to think how her sister had a good point. She would never be able to look to Oliver again if she didn't tell him about this.
The next day, for Kara's relief, Ray and Sara came back for Oliver.
- Where's Mick? – Kara asked, noticing he didn't come this time.
- Ray told me about how rude he was, I thought it was a good idea to keep him home… - Sara smiled as she greeted Kara. – I'm sorry about all of this, Kara. I know this Oliver is not easy to deal with.
- It's ok… I think I had some clarity about a few things…
- And thank you again – Ray completed as they saw Oliver coming back from the bathroom.
- Oh, you guys are bringing me back?
- Yes. Time to go home…
- And what about… that guy? That caused all of this? – Kara asked in a curious way.
- Back to his time and place in history, gladly. It was messy, but we managed!
- I'm glad to hear it. – Kara smiled as she looked at Oliver – Well… I guess that's it…
- Weirdly enough, I will miss you – He said as he walked towards the Legends and stopped beside Sara, facing Kara. – I'm sorry about…everything…
- Its ok – Kara said as she watched Sara erase his memory and give him a punch, making him faint in Ray's arms.
- He needs to believe he got into a fight while drunk… - Sara explained the punch as she said her goodbyes to Kara – See you around, Kara.
- See you guys!
ONE MONTH LATER
Kara was with Oliver and Barry on Big Belly Burger after having teaming up again against a lunatic meta, talking and laughing. Kara ate her 10th burger and Oliver looked impressed at her. Barry got up, excusing himself because he needed to use the bathroom. Kara and Oliver looked at each other and Oliver noticing something about the way Kara looked at him.
- It's everything ok?
- Yes… It's just… I needed to talk to you…
- This sound serious – He teased as he sat properly on the chair. – Ok, shoot.
- I met young you…
- What? – Oliver looked at her as she was a crazy person, then he remembered he had a crazy life in a crazy world and just looked confused.
- Legends had a problem and had to save young you from being killed by Napoleon.
- What? This is crazy… I don't remember this…
- They wiped your memory…
- WOW… - He looked at the table, feeling his head spinning. – Napoleon? THE Napoleon?
- Yes.
- And… You needed to tell me this because… I'm just confused.
- I finally understood what you meant about being a different person before this hero life…
- Oh… - Oliver looked at her with wide eyes, understanding what she meant. – Oh no…no…no, no no… You've met the jerk me, didn't you?
- Sadly, yes… It was not fun…
- I'm so sorry Kara…
- I know… I just wanted to ask you a few things… If you don't want to answer them, it's ok…I just…
- I understand – He told her. – I truly do. I'm sorry if I did anything to make you uncomfortable…
- You just flirted with me, hooked up with my boss' assistant and flirted with my sister…even after we talked about your girlfriend…
- Oh God… - Oliver scratched his head feeling really embarrassed – I'm sorry… I was a jerk and a terrible person back then… Laurel did everything for me and I just broke her heart…
- What happened Oliver?
- I was reckless. I had a good life, I was rich, I took everything for granted. I thought I could do whatever I wanted because of that… Have whoever I wanted… I was young and scared of the future and I chose to deal with it the worst way possible. By running from my responsibilities and screwing things up…
- And what changed?
- The accident.
Kara looked at him as he explained to her about his accident that made him disappear for five years. Kara listened as he spoke, feeling really bad about everything he was telling her.
- It's karma… I did awful things and I paid for all of them… It made me see how stupid I was and that I needed to grow up if I wanted to survive. Everything I know, I learned there… I came back a different person, a ruthless and cruel person that had a mission. I had to protect this city, get rid of the criminals… And things got worse from there…
- I'm sorry…
- There's no need to it. I had to go through all of this…
- To become who you are today…
- Yes.
Oliver and Kara looked at each other and smiled. Everything made so much more sense to her. And she was glad to know her sister was right after all.
Barry came back from the bathroom, looking at them in a funny way.
- Did I miss something?
- No! – Kara and Oliver said at the same time and the three of them laughed.
