Chapter Summary:Prompt by WritersBlock039: And I have a third. XD After the season finales (modifying slightly so Oliver doesn't go to prison), all four team leaders just need time to destress, so Kara comes up with a solution - Argo. She invites Oliver, Barry, and Sara to stay for vacation and so they can get each other up to speed on what's been going on in their team's lives. While they're there, Selena and witches that have yet to be captured stir up trouble again, and the four team up to stop another problem from happening. Endgame Oliver/Kara, could be canon pairings with Barry and Sara or it could end up WhiteFlash as well.

43. A distant vacation
Oliver Queen never felt so much relief in his life before. That was a statement. The FBI finally let him alone after a whole year trying to lock him up because he was the Green Arrow. He actually had Ricardo Diaz to thank, since the lunatic tried to explode Star City and Green Arrow saved the city, once again. It seemed impossible, but it was all pardoned. The mayor was impeached due to her inability of taking care of the city and the anti-vigilante law fell with her. After celebrating with his team, Oliver got a call from Barry Allen and went to their favorite bar in Central City.
- You sounded serious on the phone, what's up – Oliver asked as soon as he got to the place.
It was not that crowded so it was easy to find Barry, near the bar, sat on a stool. He looked a bit worried.
- Actually we got a message from Sara. I have no idea what's going on this time…
- Hi guys!
A blonde woman with glasses a light pink cute dress and low ponytail entered the bar and approached them. Oliver and Barry looked surprised to see who it was.
- Kara? What you're doing here – Barry asked – Not that is not great to see you, which it is…
Barry hugged Kara feeling really glad to see her again. Oliver kept looking a bit confused and only fist bumped her.
- Sara sent me a message on my Earth…
- Oh God, it must be a big crisis… - Oliver said as he smiled at Kara, scratching his forehead.
- There's no crisis, guys! – Sara said as she approached them on the bar and ordered a shot of tequila.
She had a casual outfit on, her hair down and a tired look on her face.
- Wow… That's something… - Kara looked at Sara with wide eyes.
- Please, I can handle tequila… - She laughed and drank a sip of it as soon as the bartender gave it to her – So, here's the thing… I need vacation!
- O…K… - Barry commented, looking at Oliver and Kara.
Oliver thought about what Sara said and he couldn't help but feel the same. He had an exhausting year and he really could do some time off. Sara looked at them and sat on the stool next to Barry.
- I spent the whole year hunting demons! I need a break!
- What? – Oliver, Kara and Barry asked at the same time and looked at each other.
- Demons – Oliver asked as he scratched his head again, this time in worry – I'm glad Diggle's not here…
- Demons exist? – Kara asked, still not believing what she was hearing.
- Yes, guys, they are. You should know Oliver, when you brought me back with Constantine, you saw weird stuff…
- I know, but I thought they were evil spirits or something… Not demons!
- Well they're real! And believe me; I saw a bunch of really bizarre things…
- I'm almost afraid of asking, but what things? – Kara said as she sat next to Sara. Oliver stood near her, with his arms crossed and still looking shocked at Sara.
- Unicorns…
- What? I love unicorns… - Kara said looking excitedly at Sara;
- They are evil creatures and their horns can spread a smoke and let you really high…
- Ok, I take it back! – Kara commented.
- And the fairy godmother? Also evil! She's a demon that manipulated a little girl to do horrible things…
- Oh my God, this is insane… - Barry looked horrified.
- Ok, enough, I believe you need vacation! – Oliver said not wanting to know any weirder stuff. He was sure now Diggle would faint just to hear all of that.
- So…
- So what? – Barry said looking confused at Sara.
- I think you guys need it to, so we should go on vacation together!
- I'm not totally against it… I just escaped going to prison… - Oliver commented thoughtful.
- And I have been in jail, I agree…
- What you guys have been doing? – Kara looked at Oliver and Barry
- It was illegal to be a vigilante in Star City – Oliver answered
- I was wrongly accused of murder… - Barry said at the same time Oliver answered Kara.
Kara just nodded with her head. Every time she saw her Earth 1 friends, something crazy happened and this time around wasn't different. The thing was, she also could use some time off, to think and take some fresh air at least.
- On my Earth I have been stressed as well. There's this guy that is totally against aliens, he tried to kill me twice and it has been exhausting…
- Tell me who this jerk is, I will kick his ass! – Barry said getting up from his stool...
- Yes, I will go too and make him know my assassin side – Sara smiled wickedly and Kara hushed to calm them both down.
- Hey, no killing… I can take care of him…
- If you need help, just call us – Oliver said with a serious face.
He had no idea Kara was going through something like that, she seemed so happy and relaxed all the time. That news bothered him more than he thought it would, but decided to stay quiet for now.
- I have the perfect place… - Kara smiled having a sudden idea. It seemed crazy, but it would work, at least for them to relax a bit. – I don't know if I told you guys… But I found out there's a piece of home on my Earth… On the space…
- What? – Barry said getting excited about it – Your planet?
- Not the whole planet, but a city… The city I grew up in. It survived the explosion. And I found out my mom was alive…
- That's awesome, Kara! – Sara smiled.
- Yes, it is. And the place is really beautiful. I have no powers there, so it makes me feel more… Human… More normal. I would love to take you guys there; it's a beautiful place and perfect for some time off.
- The space? I'm so in! – Barry looked at Sara and Oliver, really excited – Cisco will be so jealous!
- I'm in too. There's nothing that surprises me anymore – Sara smiled, nodding with her head.
- Well, I have never been to space before…
- Except when the Dominators kidnapped you… - Barry added and Oliver just gave him a no comment look.
- That wasn't a pleasant experience; I would like to forget it! – Oliver commented and looked at Kara – But this seems really nice… Thank you for offering. I'm in.
Kara smiled back at Oliver. She got up and looked at all of them.
- I'll meet you guys here tomorrow then, and we can go to my Earth. There's a ship on the DEO big enough for the four of us.
- Awesome! – Barry said as he got up as well.
Sara tried to get up and almost fell down, but Barry was fast enough to catch her.
- 0Look at you, being all gentleman… - She smiled looking funny at him.
- I think she's drunk… - Barry commented – I'll take her home. See you guys tomorrow.
Barry walked away helping Sara, leaving Kara and Oliver alone. She looked at him and suddenly, curiosity knocked on her door.
- So, you really did escape prison… How was that?
- It was a nightmare. I was trying to help my city, to save it. And the FBI couldn't understand it… I know I wasn't that nice on the past, but I changed… It was frustrating.
- I'm sorry about it…
- And how are things on your Earth? Beside this crazy guy that wants to kill you?
- A nightmare… - Kara looked with sad eyes – I'm sad to see that some people have so much hate inside them. I do my best for my Earth, but somehow I'm the villain… Even the government is starting to treat aliens different now. This guy managed to brainwash a lot of people.
- I have met some people like that. It's really sad what hate can do.
- That's why the idea of having somewhere to take my mind of things sometimes is comforting. – Kara smiled at Oliver – Well, I have to go now, but see you tomorrow.
- See you.
Oliver waved at Kara and she walked away, leaving him to his thoughts.
Kara, Oliver, Barry and Sara met the next day at the bar in Central City and waited for Sara. Oliver got a text from her, asking them to go to the roof of the building right across the street. Once there, they found Sara waiting for them and the Wave Rider behind her.
- The team got some time off so I thought we could use it. – Sara smiled looking at everyone.
They smiled back at her and got in. Barry was really excited to go to space, way more than anyone else. He looked like a kid that just ate a candy.
It didn't take too long for them to get to Argo City. Oliver looked impressed at that place once the ship landed. It was indeed a beautiful place from what he could see from the window.
- Welcome to Argo! – Kara smiled at them while they walked out of the ship, looking around and taking the view in.
It had a lot of green. Like a lot of green. Oliver smiled as he saw all the trees and the weird constructions that went on forever. Barry also noticed it, but he had a way more excited look on his face.
- I can't wait to see the tech around here… - Barry said.
- We're on vacation, Allen! – Sara said not believing what she was hearing.
- This is vacation for me! – He smiled at her.
Kara brought them to her mom's house and introduced them. Alura was really happy to meet more of her daughter's friends.
- Kara told me you're from another Earth… There's more than one?
- Not actually… We are from another universe. It's like multiple Earths exists on the same time at the same place, but they can't see each other… - Barry explained.
- Oh… That's interesting… - Alura said and looked at Kara – I have some things to solve for the council across the city, but I trust you all will be ok here?
- Sure, mom. Thank you. – Kara said as she hugged her mom. – We'll go to the lake house later. Is still there?
- Safe and sound.
Alura said goodbye to everyone and left. Kara took everyone to the lake house the Zor El family had before the planet exploded. Her mom's place wasn't that big so she was beyond happy her favorite place in the whole world was still there. It was a simple wooden house near a beautiful lake with deep bright blue waters. It was a bit of a cold weather there, so Barry offered to go and take some wood for the fireplace. Sara offered to help him and Oliver and Kara were left alone in the porch. Oliver looked at the view, mesmerized.
- This place is really beautiful, Kara. You don't get to see places like this one on Earth…
- I'm glad you liked it – Kara smiled.
- How does it feel?
- About…
- Having a piece of your home back, your mom being alive… You thought she was gone, right? I bet this was shocking and emotional…
- Yes, it was… I mean, I grew up missing everything, everyone… Thinking I was alone, because my cousin was already grown and had his responsibilities… I can't begin to describe what it was like…
- I'm happy you found a piece of home…
- You really miss your parents…
It wasn't a question. Kara noticed the look in Oliver's eyes. It was like he deeply wanted to know what it was like, that feeling of finding the ones you loved alive. Kara reached for his shoulder and squeezed it slightly.
- Wherever they are, they are happy for you…
Oliver just smiled back at Kara. Something in her made his heart feel peace, it was like she had the power of making his feelings hurt less. Maybe it was the place, they were in space after all, but he was sure it was her.
Meanwhile, Sara and Barry grabbed a few wood as they talked. Barry noticed he never tried to know Sara that much before; it was a nice surprise they were getting along so well. He wasn't expecting it at all.
- It's crazy how this place looks like Earth… I mean, it's cleaner… Not a single pollution on the air… - Sara commented as they worked.
- It also has great technology. It will take years for any human to invent something like this… - He said as he helped Sara carry the wood.
- The Wave Rider has it. – Sara smiled at him
- It's a ship from the future; of course it has it…
- Yes. And I'm glad the future is changed, I don't want to see all of that horror happening, but the ship remains cool as it was before.
Barry used his super speed and took all the wood to the house and came back in a second.
- Aren't you a gentleman? You should just give me a heads up next time, before giving me a heart attack – Sara said, pressing her hand on her chest, her heart beating fast.
- Sorry! I just thought we could get the job done and explore this place… It's not every day we get the chance to be on the space… At least not me…
- Aren't you the cutest geek ever? – Sara laughed – Let's go! I'm curious about this place…
Sara and Barry went exploring Argo City while Kara and Oliver talked at the lake house. Kara realized she never had the chance to talk this much and get to know Oliver this deeply as she was doing now. They talked about a bit of everything, their lives, fears, past and wishes. Kara felt really good talking to him. It was a nice surprise, she thought.
- I'm just happy to feel like a normal person when I visit Argo… - Kara said as she sat on a bench
- It must be nice for a change.
- Well it is nice not having to be careful all the time, hugging people carefully because I might break their bones...
Kara opened her arms and laughed at Oliver that gave her a no with his head.
- C'mon! – She laughed
- No. I don't like hugs.
- We never hugged before. Now I can do it normally.
- No.
- I can always make you hug me back on Earth…
Oliver looked at her and gave up. He wasn't going to win this one, he thought, so he walked towards her and gave her a hug. Kara gave him a big smile and hugged him back. It was strangely nice, he thought as his hands reached her back.
- See? – Kara smiled, still hugging him.
- Yes… You're right… - He smiled
She let him go and they looked at each other, standing really close to each other.
- It wasn't that bad! – She said – I don't know why you don't like hugs.
- Sometimes it makes me uncomfortable…
- Were you now?
- No.
They kept staring at each other. Kara could feel the electricity running between them, it was like a different vibe that surrounded the two of them and made them feel like they were alone in the world. Oliver lowered his head a bit, coming closer. Their lips almost touched. Kara's heart jumped inside her chest as their eyes met.
It was like Oliver was hypnotized. All he could do was stare as her lips and wonder. He could feel he was not alone in that thought, by the way she looked at him, and he couldn't help but feel warm inside. Their lips barely brushed against each other when they heard a loud scream from the distance. Kara jumped away from Oliver and looked at were the noise came from. Oliver looked down and then at the same direction Kara was staring at. She blushed hard but tried to ignore it for the moment.
- What was that – Oliver said as he started to walk in the direction of the scream.
- We have to find out… - Kara said and when she was about to run towards the forest, Barry and Sara appeared, Barry carrying a woman in his arms.
Barry gave Sara a ride as he used his super speed to reach for Kara and Oliver back at the house. Something really bizarre had happened, he felt like trouble followed him whenever he was, even on space, he thought. Someone had attacked them and he used his powers to try and stop the person. It turned out it was a woman dressing really funny.
- Selena – Kara said in shock as she walked closer to Barry.
- Do you know this crazy woman? – Barry asked, putting the woman down.
- Yes, she was from the council but betrayed us all. She helped the world killers almost destroy my Earth!
- World killers… Not a nice name – Sara said as she looked at the woman on the ground. – She will be back to her senses soon; we should do something…
- Let's tie her up and ask some questions… - Oliver said looking around.
He found some rope at the corner of the porch and grabbed it. The tied the woman in a way that she would never be able to escape and brought her to the bench.
- As soon as she wakes up, we question her!
He said looking serious at her. He had no idea what happened at Kara's Earth, but she sounded serious. And Sara was right; the name world killer wasn't a good sign at all. He had his suit and equipment with him, for emergencies. He wouldn't go far away without it, especially the space, and he had a feeling he would need it soon.
- Anyways, I'll put the wood we got on the fireplace – Sara said grabbing everything she let fall to the ground when Barry brought them. She wasn't used to super speed yet, so she made a mess with all the wood she carried.
Sara went inside and Barry stayed with Kara and Oliver. They were acting weird, he thought, and looked to Kara's face, noticing she was blushing.
- It's everything ok? – He asked.
- Yes… - Kara said.
- Why wouldn't it be? – Oliver said taking another look at the woman, who started to wake.
Kara stopped in front of her and crossed her arms, looking serious at her.
- Why did you come back here and attacked my friends?
- This is my home! – Selena answered, looking mad at Kara.
- Not anymore! You betrayed us all!
- The world killers will come back, darling. You're being foolish if you think they're gone for good.
- No, I'm not! They were destroyed back on Earth. And you need to pay for everything you did. My mom will take care of you…
- You do know that I still have friends, right?
- Your friends will be arrested, just like you will. Maybe the Phantom Zone will do you some good!
Kara looked serious at her and when Selena heard the words Phantom Zone, she frightened. The prison was really popular in Argo and many feared it. Superman helped build another device and Alura kept it, since she was a big part of the council.
- Let's go! The council is waiting for you! – Kara said as she looked at Barry and nodded with her head.
Kara had no powers in Argo City, but since Barry was a meta-human, he still had. She asked him to give them a ride so she could bring Selena to justice as fast as she could, and so he did it. It didn't take long for them to come back, and Kara thanked Barry.
- She almost made me deaf with her scream. I guess that lightning hurt as hell! – Sara said as she patted Barry on the back.
- I'm glad you stopped her. My mom and the council tried to find them for so long… - Kara said, smiling at Barry.
- I'm glad I could help…
It was night already and after a long tour through the rest of Argo, they found a beautiful waterfall. Kara explained she loved to play there.
- I think we should go for a swim – Sara said, looking around. – It is ok, right Kara?
- Yes, it's safe! – Kara smirked
- Good!
Sara took her clothes off and dropped it on the ground, keeping only her underwear on. Barry blushed and Oliver scratched his forehead, looking at the ground.
- Sara being Sara! – Oliver said, making them all laugh.
- You all are too prude… Except for you Oliver! – Sara laughed and dived in the lake.
- What does that mean? – Oliver said pretending to be offended.
- You forgot when you were younger and you got really drunk at Laurel's party? The cops came in and you took your clothes off in protest. It was the first time you got arrested! – Sara laughed feeling the water coming down her body as she reached the waterfall.
- Oh…K… - Kara laughed imagining the scene.
Kara wore a nice dress knee length and kept it as she got in as well. Oliver turned around and took off his shirt and pants, keeping his underwear on. Kara looked at his back and blushed again as she noticed his scars and marks. As soon as he finished, he turned around and met Kara's eyes.
Barry looked like a kid in a park, he never noticed anything happening around him, and all he cared about was jumping in the water. Yes, it was a cold weather, but it was like the place called for them. He emerged from the water right in front of Sara that just stared at him.
- I like feeling free… - She said as she threw something on the rocks and Barry looked at it, noticing what it was.
- Aren't you… You… Ok… - Barry said blushing and looking at the sky.
She just took her underwear off and threw them away, he thought, trying to focus on something else. He could hear her laugh on the background and she looked like she didn't care at all she was so close to him like she was.
Sara teased Barry behind the waterfall and they seemed lost in their own world. Kara looked from distance and smiled. She felt water coming to her face and turned around, looking at Oliver.
- Oh it is war that you want? – She said, throwing a lot of water at his face.
- Oh, that's was low!
- Yes, because throwing water at someone behind their back it's really fair… - She laughed.
Sara was swimming around Barry that looked really nervous. She thought that was really cute and wondered how much more he could handle.
- Are you ok, Allen? – She said swimming a bit closer.
- Yes. It's cold, that's it – He threw some water on his face, and Sara looked funny at him.
- Really? I don't feel it…
- Well, people react differently to the environment…
- I guess there's another explanation for it…
Sara smiled at him, making Barry even more nervous.
What she was doing, he asked himself mentally. He knew Sara was a bit forward, but was she interested in him or was she just messing with him because she noticed he got really nervous? He felt a bit confused, but her actions were showing him it was both.
- You're cute, you know that right? – Sara said as she approached Barry.
- You think so?
- Yes. You're even cuter when you're all nervous like now… Am I making you nervous, Allen? – She said barely in a whisper.
- N… No…
- Really? – She came a bit closer, her hands touching his shoulder. – Why are you trembling then? And mumbling? – Her fingers traced his neck and Barry looked into her eyes, not knowing what to say. – Exactly! – She completed, laughing and diving into the water.
Barry looked around feeling even more confused. And suddenly, he wasn't cold anymore. Maybe Sara was right, maybe it was something else.
Oliver and Kara stood in the water, looking at the wood while they talked. All that peace Oliver felt before, it all came back. He was sure this time around it was Kara who caused that feeling and he wasn't sure what to do about it.
- Thank you for inviting us here. – Oliver said – I really needed some time off…
- Oh, it's nothing… I'm glad you guys got to see a small piece of my planet.
- I'm glad too. I can only imagine how you felt, discovering this place was still here…
- I was out of words. Argo was a bit part of my life and I'm glad it isn't lost forever. Sometimes we hold things dear to our heart and in a blink of an eye, we lose it, and it hurts…
- I know the feeling. – He said standing in front of her. – But like someone told me once, hardships make us stronger, so…
- Yes, it was a good advice, right? I wonder who gave you…
- You would like her… She's someone full of light, full of positivism…sometimes it annoys me, I admit…
Kara laughed while Oliver stared at her, giving her a tiny smirk.
- But she has a big heart, always care for others… - He said coming a bit closer – And I have to admit she's really beautiful. Inside and out.
- Oh… That's… nice – Kara said surprised.
She wasn't expecting to hear how Oliver saw her. It touched her heart deeply; she felt emotions coming all over.
- It is true… You would love to meet her…
- I would love to… - Kara said not knowing what she was saying anymore. His eyes really hypnotized her, she had no idea what was going on.
- You just have to look in the mirror.
Kara's heart jumped inside her chest and it felt like she would have a heart attack. She felt a weird rush run all over her body and his hands reaching for her waist under the water. Oliver brought his face really close to Kara's face and they heard Barry's voice from the distance.
- OLIVER? KARA?
They were far away and since Barry and Sara were on the other side of the waterfall, right under it actually, they couldn't see Kara and Oliver across the lake. Barry kept calling them and Oliver just took a deep breath. He was going to kill Barry, he thought. He looked at Kara and smiled, diving in and bringing her with her.
Barry and Sara came from the other side, looking around and seeing no one.
- I guess they went back to the house already… - Barry commented.
- Its ok, we can meet them there later…
- Why later?
- Because now, I want to explore the woods…
- Again?
- Barry… - Sara arched her eyebrows and Barry laughed.
- Oh…
- Let's go!
She said bringing Barry with her as they disappeared into the woods. As soon as they got a bit far away from the lake, Sara pushed Barry against a tree, capturing his lips with hers. Barry was taken by surprised, but hugged Sara by the waist, kissing her back with the same want.
As soon as Oliver and Kara dived in, Oliver approached Kara and brought his lips close to hers, underwater. He couldn't wait any longer. Kara felt the familiar rush all over her body once again, kissing Oliver back. They emerged from the water, still kissing. Kara's hands went for Oliver's hair on his neck and she brought his face even closer than it was from hers. Her legs floated underwater and embraced his waist and she crossed her foot and his back. Oliver had one hand caressing her cheek and the other holding her back.
Neither of them felt like letting the other go, they still kept kissing like the world was about to end that moment. Their tongues battled each other as their kiss deepened in a passionate way. Kara felt chills down her spine as his beard scratched her skin.
They opened their eyes and stared at each other, their foreheads touching.
- So… - Kara said and they both started laughing.
- So… - He said looking at her lips.
He was sure now it was going to be a new addiction for him and he had no idea if this was going to be a problem or not, for the moment, he just wanted to keep kissing Kara until the next day. She had an amazing scent that made him feel drugged, and the taste of her lips were amazing, he couldn't even try to describe it. Kara approached her face to his neck, her nose slightly touching his skin. He smelled really good, she thought. Her lips brushed over the skin of his neck and Oliver closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. She rested the side of her face on his shoulder while her lips brushed the base of his neck once again. His skin felt warm against her lips and she started giving him small kisses. His hand caressed her back while the other messed with her wet hair, near the back of her neck. He could feel her breath on his neck. Kara's lips started to go up his jaw, going through his chin. Oliver turned his head a bit to his side, capturing her lips once again with his passionately, holding strongly her hair. It was like the air was escaping them but neither cared, not letting each other go.
- Can you stay one more day after we come back to my Earth? – Kara whispered as they looked at each other once again.
- Yes, I can – He said looking curiously at her.
- Can you come to my apartment once we go back? – She looked at him blushing once again, but with a decided look.
Oliver looked at her, caressing her cheeks and smiled back at her.
- Yes.
Kara crashed his lips once again, letting him know how much she wanted him. She was really glad he came; he had no idea how much.

Spoiler Alert: Prompt by Wryyy: make a crisis on Earth X where Kara and Oliver had a one night stand like Alex and Sara did. Then she ends up getting pregnant. Im a sucker for these kind of fics.(hm...the pregnant part Idk about because the only way possible would be her losing her powers, I already wrote something like that... but the first part I can work with..let's see how it goes)
