Chapter Summary: Prompt by WritersBlock039: "An AU end to Arrow Season 4. After Laurel's death, Oliver is willing to do whatever it takes to bring Darhk down. Team Flash and the Legends come to help, and Barry recommends a friend of his that Darhk will never see coming. Kara gets introduced to Earth-1 earlier, and while she and Oliver meet under much worse terms, they get along much better . . . maybe TOO much better." – I added Clark to help thanks to Stephen's latest interview about wanting Oliver to meet Clark hahaha
.
31. Light at the end of the darkest day
Dinah Laurel Lance.
That name in a grave.
Oliver kneeled before it, not actually believing he just buried his beloved friend, team mate, one of the most important people in his life. The level of pain he felt was endless, it was like a deep dark hole on his chest.
- I'm so sorry… - He said as he looked at the ground. – I could have done better, protected you…
Barry Allen stood by his side, looking at him with sadness. He knew the sensation of losing a loved one pretty well and he wished he could have the power to take away the pain in Oliver, but he knew it was impossible.
- It was not your fault, Oliver! – Sara said as she approached them. – It was that bastard's! – She took a deep breath and looked at Barry – Thanks for calling me.
- You're welcome… - Barry whispered, with both his hands on his pockets.
- I'm sorry I didn't call you, my head it's…
- I know… - Sara said as Oliver got up and gave her a tight hug
- I feel like it was my fault, I put her through this…
- Oliver… - She let Oliver go and looked deep into his eyes - There is nothing that you could have done that would stop my sister from helping you.
- It's everything ok with you? – He asked, looking worried at her.
- Kind of… I'm just… It's just too much…
- What happened? – Barry took a few steps closer.
- We just lost a team member too…
- Who? – Oliver looked worried.
- Snart.
Barry looked shocked to Sara. He was not expecting this news anytime soon. He always knew Snart was a badass; it was weird hearing he died.
- He died a hero… Saved us all.
- How? – Barry asked, coming a bit closer.
- We were trying to stop Vandal Savage from destroying the world…
- Wasn't Savage dead? – Oliver looked even more confused to Sara.
- Malcolm resurrected him…
- Of course!
- Snart became a better person… Someone I could relate with and… - She wiped a tear from her face - I don't want to talk about it, but the thing is… I found out Rip Hunter knew Laurel was going to die right after Barry called and punched the hell out of him. He tried to keep me in the ship, but I had to come… They were scared I was going to try to go back and save her, so Ray convinced him to let me come. I just… I want to kill him, Oliver. The bastard who did this!
- I know, Sara… But he is unstoppable… He has this… magic… I can't explain. We tried everything! We need something big to stop him.
Barry heard them talking and remembered something that could actually help. He remembered the new friend he made by accident in another Earth. He was sure it was the perfect solution.
- Guys? Hum… I might have an idea… It's not something big, but it's definitely something strong.
- And what is it? – Oliver said as he looked from Sara to Barry.
- Just… Wait for me in the bunker in a few hours?
Sara and Oliver looked at Barry and nodded with their heads, walking away. Barry ran as fast as he could back to Star Labs.
- CISCO! Cisco, are you there? – Barry yelled as soon as he got in.
- HERE! – Cisco yelled and Barry followed the sound of his voice, in his lab.
- Cisco, I need your help…
- Calm down man, what happened?
- Laurel's dead.
- WHAT?
Cisco looked at Barry covering his mouth with both his hands, tears filling his eyes.
- How…
- Later…Right now I need you to help me. I need to go back to Kara's Earth.
- Kara as the super cool alien you met by accident, after training to take down Zoom?"
- The one and only.
- Give me half an hour. I know what you need.
Cisco started working with his things, trying to focus. He just couldn't believe the Black Canary was dead.
Barry waited for Cisco to finish whatever he was doing, no questions asked. He couldn't bring himself to try and understand what his friend was doing anyways; there was a lot on his mind. He decided he would tell his team about Snart later.
- Here! – Cisco showed Barry a small rounded device.
- What's that? – Barry said as he reached for the thing
- This, my friend, is an interdimensional extrapolator. It will open breached to wherever you need. Just press the button and focus on the right place.
- Cisco… You're a genius! Thank you – Barry hugged Cisco – And I promise I will explain everything later.
- Her Earth it's the 38th. Don't forget!
Barry did as Cisco told him and pressed the button. It opened a wormhole and Barry focused on Earth 38, running right into it.
Once he stepped in he noticed he was in an alley, behind a huge building. He walked to the streets just to see CatCo in front of him. He smiled, relieved, knowing he was at the right place when he looked up and saw to red and blue blurs passing by him. He decided to chase them, not knowing who the other person was.
The two figures flew high on the sky and stopped in front of a burning building. Kara stood floating while she blew some air to stop the fire and the other person started helping rescuing people from inside the building. Barry decided they could use a hand and ran fast inside the building, saving those still inside of it.
As he came out, Kara and a tall dark haired guy with a suit similar to Kara's stood in front of him. Kara smiled widely, opening her arms to hug him. The guy just looked at the scene.
- I missed you! – Kara said as she hugged Barry
- I missed you too. – Barry let go of he and looked at Clark.
- This is my cousin…
- Oh, hey – Barry said as he greeted Clark. – I'm the Flash… Barry Allen.
- So you are the cool friend of another universe… That's cool – Clark smiled, shaking hands with Barry.
- I am sorry to come here so unexpectedly… Remember when I helped you last time?
- Yes.
- I was kind of wondering if you could help me this time around…
- Sure, what are we up against? – Kara smiled, ready to help her friend without even knowing what it was. Clark looked worried at her
- Is J'onn going to be ok with this?
- Sure he will… - Kara looked at Barry – So?
- Back in my Earth we have a few people that are also super heroes and try to protect our cities. Oliver is the Green Arrow in Star City and he is facing a guy really powerful. He has magic, created an army and wants to end the world to rebuild it his way…
- He has a God complex? – Clark said, not liking what he was hearing at all.
- Exactly. He believes the world is beyond saving so he decided it was a good idea to destroy it and start over. We have skilled people, but it's not enough… Oliver just lost a member from his team, the Black Canary… He killed her after paralyzed everyone with his magic, there was nothing anyone could do to stop him. Anyone except you…
- I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, Barry… - Kara said – Of course I will help… Only kryptonite can harm me, so…
- Magic can as well, cousin… - Clark said as he walked closer to them – Well, I can get vulnerable and it can hurt me… So I guess it can hurt you too…
- Oh… I did not know that… But… We heal fast, even if something like magic can hurt us…
- Yes.
- What do you say cousin? – Kara looked excitedly at Clark and then at Barry – Is ok if he comes too?
- Sure, the more help we can get, the better.
- Yay! – Kara clapped her hands excitedly and looked at Clark – We are going in a mission in another Earth… But first, I need to tell Alex… and J'onn
Kara vanished and came back in 5 minutes.
- This is new even for me – Clark said as he watched Barry opening the breach back to Earth 1.
- Cisco is so going to freak out… - Barry murmured to himself and stepped in super speed, being followed by Clark and Kara.
Sara paced from one side to the other in the bunker while Oliver sat on a chair, thinking about all of the mess they were in. Ray arrived; excited to help and bring down Darhk for good since that bastard had him captured and almost killed a few months ago. Diggle looked at the walls, trying to cope with everything that was happening and Felicity typed nonstop at the computer, trying to find Darhk somehow, tears still falling from her eyes.
- Where did Barry say he was going? – Sara looked at Oliver
- He didn't say… But it looked like he had an idea.
- Let's trust he can come up with something good… - Ray said as they all looked at the wormhole that opened in front of them. Diggle gasped in scare as he jumped from his seat.
- What the hell? – Diggle said.
Barry came through the thing with two more people with him, a guy and a woman. The guy looked at them serious while the woman smiled shyly at them; it looked like she was torn between being excited and nervous.
- Guys, I brought help.
- What? – Sara asked feeling a bit confused.
- This is my friend Kara Danvers and her cousin Clark Kent, or as they are known in their Earth: Supergirl and Superman.
- Hi… - Ray waved at them, smiling excitedly.
- On their Earth? – Thea asked.
- Yes. I accidentally traveled to Earth 38 once, and met Kara. She is a superhero there, I helped her and now… Here they are.
- And… I'm sorry for asking, I'm just curious… What exactly makes them Super? – Thea looked intrigued at Kara and Clark with her arms crossed.
Oliver looked at his sister, wondering the exact same thing. He just didn't want to be the one to ask. They were from a different universe and seemed to be the type of people that cared for others, but he had been wrong in the past, so he couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical.
- Oh, like this… - Barry said getting a bit excited as he used his super speed and took Diggle's gun from him, stopping right in from of Kara and Clark.
Clark nodded with his head and Barry shot them, making everyone jump. Oliver looked startled as he saw Clark pick the bullet with his hand like it was nothing and the bullet fall to Kara's feet. None of them harmed, not even with a scratch. Clark and Kara floated a bit from the ground and Kara made the symbol of the House of El with her eyes.
Diggle gasped, almost fainting and the others were with their jaws dropped. Oliver looked serious, but impressed at them. He crossed his arms while Thea took a step forward and took the bullet from the ground.
- So you guys are some special metas?
- Actually no – Barry said as he looked at Kara and Clark. Oh, this was going to be fun, he thought.
- We are aliens… - Clark said as he looked at Kara – Our planet Krypton exploded so our parents sent us to Earth, to protect it. Under the Yellow Sun we have special abilities.
- Yellow Sun? There's a different Sun out there? – Felicity asked as she looked at them, truly impressed.
- Yes, Krypton had a Red Sun. Under it we are just like humans – Kara explained.
Oliver looked at Diggle. He looked like he had seen a ghost. He looked back at Kara and Clark, not sure what to think. He never handled well the unknown, always trusted the wrong people and ended up worse than he was when he started. But he learned to trust Barry. He was a good person, who was also betrayed before. If Barry trusted them, he thought he could to, but he would still keep an eye open, just in case. He looked at Kara, noticing how she seemed so pure and innocent, with a bright smile… It was like she had a light aura around her, her laugh helped spread it to everyone else, like it was contagious. It was truly hard to believe that cute person was so powerful, and an alien…
- Listen guys, I understand you might be in shock now with all this information… - Barry said, breaking the awkwardness.
- Understatement of the year! – Sara said, not knowing what else to say
- But I assure you, you can trust them.
- I know you guys don't know us. I was shocked when I heard Barry saying he was from another Earth, and that he was a hero here. – Kara said looking shyly at all of them, her eyes stopping in Oliver that looked curious at her – And I know it's hard to put your faith into someone you barely know… But speaking for myself, what Barry told me it's so terrible and I am so sorry you all had to deal with such a huge loss and cruelty…
- We will do our best to help you guys. – Clark completed.
- Thank you - Sara said – It means a lot. – She gave them a brief smile.
- If we are doing this, we need to train, as hard as possible – Oliver said as he approached Clark and Kara – Darhk has magic, he is way too strong. We need to be prepared for that. So what do you say? – He looked at Clark and Kara.
- Are you sure? – Clark said.
- People might get hurt… - Kara completed and Oliver looked at the others that nodded their heads.
- We are sure!
Oliver did not see that mess coming when he said he agreed. Now he was greeting it, but would never admit it. He was thrown on the ground with Sara and Thea for the fifth time by Kara and Clark was taking care of Barry, Diggle and Ray. Kara looked like she was having the time of her life, it was pretty easy for her to create obstacles for them and stuff like that.
- OUCH! – Oliver yelled as Kara accidentally hit his arm with heat vision.
- I'm so sorry… - She said as she landed beside him, looking at his suit, damaged on the arm.
- Its ok, Cisco can fix it…
- I hurt you…
- Kara, I'm fine! – Oliver said in a serious way that made Kara look surprised at him – I'm sorry, it's just… I have been through worse than a small burn… and a few bruises…
After a while training together, Earth 1 team has improved a lot, managing to dodge Kara and Clark's attack, Barry was able to surprise them twice and Oliver took advantage of it to hit the target on the wall with his arrows. They all looked at each other, feeling a bit more positive about their plan.
- I think this can actually work. We have a shot at putting that sorry ass down for good! – Sara said as she high five Thea. – I can't wait to kill that son of a b…
- Wait… We never agreed on killing anyone! – Kara said as she looked at Barry.
- It's the only way to stop him, Kara… It has to be done – Sara said as she crossed her arms. – He killed my sister.
- I know. – Clark said as he got closer to Sara – And I can't even imagine the pain you feel right now, and the anger… But it's not up to us to decide who gets to live and who gets to die. We bring bad guys to justice, the right way.
- This is a guy that can do magic. He killed my sister while he was locked up in a highly secured prison, and not even that could hold him. He escaped and killed her! What do you suggest we do, then? Because I don't know what would stop him… - Sara said as she paced from one side to the other, getting pissed off by the minute. – I killed before; I have no problem in doing it again!
- But we have to be better than them! – Clark said as she stood by Kara's side. – We have to be. There's no excuse for what he did, it's terrible. He is a murderer and need to pay for his crimes… But killing him won't bring your sister back. There's no coming back from that. I almost lost my way once and I felt the terror it would be if I had done it. It's not worth it.
There was a heavy vibe between them all as the argument kept going on. Sara was really tense and angry and couldn't stop tears falling from her eyes.
- It's not fair…
- I know it's not. On my Earth, my best friend's mom hates aliens and wants to hunt us down and kill us. She kidnapped me once. She is a powerful woman that runs an organization anti alien. She almost killed me. But she is still the mother of my friend, she is still human. She needs to pay for her crimes, but even if what all she had done is terrible, it's still wrong to kill her, so I remember it every day. It's not easy, our natural instinct is to want revenge, but I believe we are better than this. And we can do better. And… You killed before… Do you still do it?
- No… I try to save was left of my soul…
- See? The important thing is that you found another way to deal with your pain and with bad guys… You still have a soul, Sara, or you wouldn't be out there risking your life to protect others. You just need to remind yourself that your soul is important and worth saving.
Sara just took a few steps towards Kara and hugged her. Kara hugged Sara back, comforting her as the others kept looking at the scene, in silence.
Oliver looked at that scene thinking about the stuff Kara just said. She was truly something else.
- Do you guys have any idea how we can stop Darhk? – Oliver asked, finally breaking the silence that fell upon them all.
- I actually have one – Clark smiled at him. – You guys said that prison won't hold him, so the human justice system is useless against this guy. We might have a special place for him… Our own prison back in our Earth… - He looked at Kara which nodded, knowing about what he was talking about. - We can handle this guy!
- Well, if you say that, I believe you. – Oliver said as he saw Kara smiling at him, and gave her a tiny smirk back
- So… What do we do first? – Thea said, feeling just as excited as Kara was
- We have to steal his idol, to weaken him.
- What? – Kara looked confused.
- He has this type of piece of rock that has a weird shape; it looks like a face or something like that… And it's the source of his magic. If we destroy it, we make it easier to take him down.
- Good, because magic can hurt us – Kara said – Well, it hurts Clark, so it might hurt me as well since I am a kryptonian as well…
- If we can get rid of the magic before we can find out how it can affect Kara, it would be great – Clark looked worried at Oliver.
- That is why I am going to his place tonight. He leaves around 7, so we have a small window to go there and look for this thing.
Felicity turned on her chair and stared at Oliver, looking like he was a lunatic.
- I've been quiet until now, but Oliver… Are you insane? The last time you went there, things did not go well… Also, he might have changed its location; he's evil, not stupid!
- It's still in his home. I know this.
- How do you know?
- Darhk is not the type of man that trusts others; he would never leave the source of his power away from him.
- It's ok Felicity… - Kara said as she smiled at the blonde – I can go with him and help.
- I'm still unsure about this… - Felicity said as she looked down, thinking about how all of that was crazy.
- He's safe with me, don't worry – Kara said as she gently touched Oliver's arm without noticing and blushed really hard, letting go of his arm.
- While you go I will try to locate Darhk – Felicity turned her chair around again, focusing on the computers in front of her.
- And when he shows up, we will be there to stop him! – Thea said – Just be careful, brother.
- I will be – Oliver blinked at Thea and looked at Kara. – Shall we?
- Sure. – Kara said as followed Oliver out of the bunker
Once at Darhk's mansion, Oliver and Kara walked around carefully. Kara x rayed the mansion and could only see a small figure in one of the rooms. Oliver explained her it could be Darhk's daughter, but they needed to be careful.
- Listen, I need to apologize…
- Why? – Kara asked confused as she walked beside him through those dark corridors.
- Because when I first met you, I was a bit unsure if I could trust you. To trust someone is not easy for me… Aliens existing is really new to me, I was just getting used to meta humans… I can see now you are really dedicated to help others, and you have an honor, more than I could ever have.
Kara blushed again as she heard Oliver's words. She had no idea why, but from everyone she had met in this Earth, she got intrigued by Oliver the most. Maybe it was because he had this mysterious vibe she wasn't sure.
- I wanted to thank you for having my back before… - She said as she looked at while as they stopped walking.
- It's ok. I understand. At least I understand a lot better now… For me, I used to think there was no other way but I learned what it does to your soul the hard way. I killed to survive once before, and then I kept doing it out of habit. But Sara… You see, she feels guilty. Because she accepted an invitation to travel through time and save the world and she wasn't around when Laurel died. She couldn't say goodbye.
- It must've been so hard…
- It was… She will come through… She just wants justice done.
- And we will make sure it does! – Kara said as she stood a bit closer to Oliver.
Oliver felt something really different while talking to Kara. She seemed to be really compassionate and he appreciated that. She didn't look at him with judgmental eyes when he told her about his past, so that was something. He was thinking about all of that when he realized his face was really close to Kara's. They heard a scream coming from far away and jumped in scare, running towards the direction of the sound.
- You said there was a small figure in the house when you used your x ray vision, right?
- Yes. – Kara said as she used it again, just to be sure.
- It must be Darhk's daughter…
- He has a daughter?
- Yes.
- How can he be this monster? He doesn't think about his kid?
- I don't think his wife and kid knows he is a monster – He said as they entered a room and found the girl there. She looked like she was being haunted by something invisible only she could see.
Kara came closer, looking carefully at her.
- Hey… Don't be afraid… You're safe.
- It won't let me be!
- Who? – Kara asked, worried.
- I see a shadow…
Oliver and Kara looked around, trying to see what she was seeing.
- Hey… It's ok… - Kara said as she kneeled before the girl, that sat at the corner of her bedroom.
- My dad… He messes with things he shouldn't…
- Things like what? – Oliver said as he took a step closer
- You are evil! – She yelled as she looked at Oliver
- No, he's not. He's good. – Kara said as she reached for the girl's hand. – What's your name?
- Nora…
- Nice to meet you Nora. I'm Supergirl. You're safe now; you don't need to be afraid ok? There's nothing here.
- Nora… Do you know where your father is? – Oliver asked, keeping his distance
- He's not here! You can't hurt him!
- We don't want to hurt him; we want to help him – Kara said with loving eyes as she looked at Nora. – Do you want us to help him? So you won't be afraid anymore?
- I... I don't know… Yes? – She said feeling unsure about what to feel.
- Come here – Kara opened her arms, embracing Nora in a hug. She used her X ray vision to look for the idol and nodded at Oliver, murmuring it was in the second floor.
Oliver just nodded and went to look for it. He was feeling really impressed by Kara's abilities with kids, especially with Nora. He wouldn't know what to do if he came alone. He reached the second floor and started looking at every room he could. Finally, on the third room, right behind a huge curtain, there was a vault.
- Kara… There's a locked vault here… I bet the thing is inside of it. I will ask Felicity to hack it…
- No need of it! – Kara said as she appeared in super speed, making Oliver jump one more time. – I have a faster way.
- Where's Nora?
- Downstairs, sleeping.
- How…
- Later, Oliver. – She said as she pushed the curtains away and grabbed the vault handle, pulling it and throwing the door away.
- Nice… - Oliver said as he reached for the idol, grabbing it.
- Told you!
Oliver looked at Kara, smiling. Finally, they were going to be able to handle Darhk without his magic.
- Oliver? – Felicity called in his comm – I found Darhk. He's in Iron Heights again, I have no idea why… The team is heading there…
- Ok, we got what we needed.
Kara looked at Oliver and offered him a faster ride to Iron Heights and Oliver reluctantly, accepted, but just because they needed to get there really fast. He found out he wasn't a fan of super speed rides.
At Iron Heights, Diggle lead the way towards Darhk and Thea, Sara, Ray, Clark and Barry followed him.
- Brought more people to die? – Damien said sarcastically
- You bastard! – Sara said as she tried to contain herself so she wouldn't rip his head off. She focused on sticking to the plan.
- Oh I don't know some of you, but it doesn't matter… You all will be dead by the end of the night! – He smiled really happy with the image on his head. – It's not like you all are planning on take my entire army by yourselves right?
A bunch of HIVE soldiers came in the room, surrounding the team, which stood still, just looking at them.
- Actually, we do! – Oliver said as he came in with Kara.
Damien tried to use magic against them, but nothing happened. He looked confused at his hands, not understanding what was wrong.
- I believe this is the reason your magic doesn't work… - Kara said as she threw the pieces of the idol on the ground. – But just in case… - She floated high in the air and used her heat vision to melt the pieces while Barry took half the HIVE by himself in 5 seconds and Sara, Diggle, Thea and Ray fought a few members left.
Clark came floating by Kara's side and Barry stood beside them. Darhk looked at them in horror.
- I believe now we can have a fair fight! – Clark smiled at Damien
- What… Meta humans? Doesn't matter, I can take you! – He said as he tried to choke Ray
- I believe you're wrong – Kara said as she used her heat vision on his hand, making him let go of Ray and flew towards Damien, pinning him by the throat against the wall. – I'm not a meta!
Sara, Thea and Diggle managed to take down the remaining members of the HIVE and Oliver thought he saw Damien feeling scared for the first time ever. He gave him a brief smile as he walked towards him.
- You killed one precious member of my team… And now you'll pay for it. – He said calmly.
- Let me revenge my sister's death! – Sara said as she came closer to them
- Oh…So you're the sister… See, I enjoyed stabbing her with an arrow from your fella here… If you think about it, it is his fault…
Oliver grabbed him by the collar, giving a punch in him and throwing him on the ground. Sara jumped him, giving one punch after another, tears falling down from her eyes. Kara and Clark approached them carefully, full of worry in their eyes.
- Sara… He had enough!
- No he hadn't!
- SARA! – Oliver yelled, making her look at him. – I feel just as bad as you do. She was fighting with me, on my team. I feel just as responsible as you do… But we can't lose ourselves now…we came too far. Please, let Supergirl and Superman take care of him.
- I… - Sara looked at Damien, full of blood in his face as he gave up fighting. She then looked at her friends – Ok. – She got up, letting him go.
- But just in case… - Oliver said as he grabbed an arrow and shot him.
Kara jumped in scare and looked at Oliver.
- Is he…
- No. This is just a tranquilizer… Until you guys take him, for precautions…
Kara and Clark looked relieved at Oliver and smiled as Clark grabbed Darhk, holding him strongly by his arms. Sara started trembling and Kara turned to her, approaching Sara and holding her. Sara hugged Kara as strongly as she could and started crying.
- It's ok – Kara whispered as she caressed Sara's hair.
Everyone stood looking at the scene, all of them with tears in their eyes and a deeply sad look. It was like now that it was all over, the reality of what happened started to sink in.
Their friend, their beloved Laurel would never again come back, and smile at them.
And it hurt. Like hell.
Clark approached Kara and Sara, hugging them. Oliver turned around, pissed of and left. Kara watched him go and Clark nodded at her. He kept hugging Sara as she cried and Kara followed Oliver outside.
It started to rain, but Oliver couldn't care less. He stood there, hood and mask off, under the rain, getting really soaked and looking at the sky.
- Are you ok? – Kara's voice echoed on his ears and he turned around.
- I don't know…I think I'm not ok! I don't think I will ever be ok again…I failed Laurel. Big time. I hurt her, she suffered because of me in the past… She had this strength inside her, and I could never see it. I took her for granted. I said no when she asked me to train her. I knew she had potential, but I was scared she was going to get hurt. Even after we broke up, she was still special to me, so I couldn't bear the thought of something bad happening to her… But she saw my no as disbelief, like I couldn't support her and believe she could do this. And I'll never again have the opportunity of telling her the truth. I feel responsible somehow…
- But it's not your fault… Don't let that horrible monster get in your head.
- I know… But still… It feels like that.
- Oliver… - Kara said as she grabbed his hand, making him look at her. – As much as I would love for it to be real, we are not in charge of the fate and we can't control what happens around us… We can fight and try to make things better. But bad people are bad people and their terrible actions it's not our fault. – She said as she caressed his hand, not noticing what she was really doing – When I started, back on my Earth, a few criminals my mom locked up on the Phantom Zone came after me. They wanted me to pay for what my mom did to them. But you see… They broke the law, they killed, they did terrible things. My mom did what was right, she brought them to justice. Bad guys never own their mistakes; they always want to blame everyone else. We can't let them get into our heads like that. Laurel's death it's on him only, and it's no one else's fault. You were protecting people and fighting for justice. You did nothing wrong, neither did she.
- You are really wise – Oliver whispered as he looked at Kara with a sad look in his eyes.
- I just like to put things in perspective. – She smiled at him, caressing his cheeks and blushing – I felt guilty a lot of times before, until I realized it was not my fault. Now I see things better… You'll too. Just have patience…
- That's the problem… I don't have it…
- You can try… - She whispered, their faces coming even closer to each other's.
Oliver closed his eyes as he felt Kara's soft hand on his cheeks. He brought his own hand to the base of her neck, bringing their lips together. It was a soft and slow kiss, like he was testing the waters. Kara started responding his kiss the same way and Oliver opened his eyes, breaking the kiss apart.
- I'm sorry… I…
- Hey, its ok – Kara smiled as she held his cheeks with her hands and brought him into another kiss, a bit more passionate this time. – The pain will go away someday – She whispered between the kiss – And I'll make sure Darhk doesn't hurt anyone else, ever again.
Oliver went for the kiss, deepening it as their tongues explored each other's mouth. His fingers got lost between her soft golden curls as he kept kissing her.
- I'm really glad I met you – Oliver said as he looked into her eyes, they foreheads touching.
- Me too. – She smiled back at him.
- Listen… About that Phantom Zone… What's that anyway?
Kara looked at him and laughed.
- I don't think you want to know… - She smiled, giving him one more kiss – I can't wait for our teams to team up again.
- Couldn't agree more – Oliver smiled
Kara let go of him, still smiling, her heart racing like hell as she turned her back to go inside and help Clark bring Damien to her Earth.
