NOTES: I'm mixing two prompts a small twist on the second one
It has a light M rating and extremely romantic / fluff stuff (as u guys know, I like writing the characters in a realistic way, so based on how both of them behaved in relationships on their shows and also what we know about Kryptonians in comic canon...yeah, you know)

78. Past, present and future
FLASHBACK
Kara stood in the second floor of the cool Central City bar that Barry closed to celebrate his engagement with his friends and family, drinking the champagne she had on her hands, wishing it could actually have some effect on her. She saw all her friends happy, laughing, celebrating Sara and Barry. Kara came to Earth 1 with her sister in the last minute so they could both enjoy some time off, get to meet cool people that were also heroes, in Alex case and forget a bit about their pain. Alex ended her engagement because she wanted to have kids and her ex didn't. Kara felt sad because she had to send Mon El away to save his life, she felt bad about it, thinking she sent him to his death, and now she were at that phase where you're in the middle: you're not totally depressed but also not that happy. She still hoped she could find out if he was ok at least. She took a deep breath, knowing she would never have what her friends had: that kind of happiness. She noticed someone approaching her, and turned to her side only to see Barry Allen staring at her with worry in his eyes.
- Hey…
- Hey – She said, trying to smile – This is nice… I'm really happy for you and Sara. – She looked around, impressed – How did you get the place just for us tonight?
- Thanks. Oliver helped me with his connections… He has a lot, I was surprised. – He smiled, looking down the first floor – I can see Alex is having fun
Kara stared down and saw Alex with Mick, Caitlin and Ray, drinking and laughing.
- I'm glad she's having a good time – Kara smiled, taking another sip of her drink.
- And you? I've noticed Mon El didn't come along… What happened?
Kara took a deep breath, thinking about what to say. She knew Barry had an equally complicated life, so he would understand without getting into many details.
- A lot had happened. I had to send him away to save his life. It was hard the first three months; Alex thinks I was depressed… And I think I was but now… Well, I feel a bit better, it hurts less…
- I'm sorry you had to go through that.
- I mean… Is my fault. – Kara said finishing her drink. – Let's go downstairs… This doesn't have any effect on me, but I still need another drink – She joked.
They went downstairs and reached for the bar. Kara poured more champagne on her glass and stared at Barry.
- What do you mean is your fault? – Barry asked, confused.
- I need to remind myself that my life should be all about Supergirl.
- Kara, I just told Oliver he needs to still believe in love and not give up, do I need to give you the same pep talk?
- Is different for you guys…
- Why's that?
- I'm not human… I'm just… Alone – She said – Anyways, today is for celebrate you and Sara, so enough with the sad talk – She teased and raised her glass along with his – Congratulations for the engagement, you guys deserve all the happiness.
- You deserve it too, don't forget that – Barry said, giving Kara a hug – Please, enjoy the party – He said excusing himself to go talk to Quentin Lance.
Kara was lost in her thoughts, thinking about what Barry just told her. She had no idea if she could have happiness and that kind of love, she had no idea if her heart could fully mend from her last heartbreak at all.
- They say misery loves company, so can I join you?
Kara turned around and saw Oliver Queen next to her, raising his glass of champagne. She toasted with him, and drank. He had a tuxedo on, dark blue that made his eyes stand out in a way she never noticed before. He had a funny but sad look in his eyes and a soft smile on his lips. She smiled back at him as he sat by her side at the bar.
- I'm sorry; I couldn't help but hear that… Is everything ok? – Oliver asked.
It had been a year since their first team up, when they fought Dominators and by the end of their victory celebration, Oliver could see how wrong he was about Kara and that she was indeed a great person. The last thing he imagined was to find her a year later seeming as sad as he was, and it got him intrigued, because as Barry told him once, Kara was a bucket of sunshine and he had no idea that she could get angry. Of course, Oliver managed to get her angry back then but this time around, he knew it was different. There was a different look of sadness in her electric blue eyes, and he noticed it because usually her eyes sparkled so bright, you could easily feel lost in them and she had this energy that touched everyone around her. She looked like a sad angel with her hair loose in waves and that cute blue dress.
- Its ok, I guess I'm not that good at masking… I was just telling Barry how I had to send my ex boyfriend into space to save his life and now, I have no idea if he's even alive.
- Wow… - He stared at her, not having any idea of what to say.
- And you? – Kara asked, looking curious at him – Barry told me he had to convince you to not give up on love…
- Oh, that… Felicity and I broke up… again in 2 years.
- I'm sorry about that… If you don't mind me asking, what happened?
- I proposed to Felicity a week and a half ago… She said no. Then she blamed me for getting shot the last time I proposed to her, 2 years ago…
- How could this be your fault? – Kara asked feeling totally confused.
She knew Oliver and Felicity dated once, before she met them. When she joined the team to fight the Dominators, they were separated but in good terms. Kara remembered it vividly because she kept wondering if he was single back then, just out of curiosity, she thought. Barry told her that they were engaged before meeting her but many things happened, and Felicity broke up with him. Apparently, they tried again, and once again Felicity ended things after something that made no sense at all for Kara, but she wouldn't be the one judging because she liked Felicity deep down.
- Don't even get me started… - He said, rubbing his forehead – Things have been hard, and we broke up. I thought she loved me, but I was clearly wrong.
- I'm sorry… Well, I guess you're right, misery do loves company – She said, finishing her drink and looking around, feeling a bit nervous – and having some company in misery actually helps – She joked, making him smile.
- Follow me…They have a really nice lounge on the third floor - He said, offering his arm, and making Kara look at him in a funny way – Is not that loud upstairs, we can actually share our misery without having to yell – He joked, making her laugh.
Barry and Sara danced together when Barry looked at the bar, noticing Kara and Oliver walking together to the stairs. A brief smiled formed in his lips.
Kara held his arm and followed Oliver. There were a few sofas and chairs spread around the place, another bar in the corner with music playing not that loud so people could chat and maybe more, as Kara could see a couple almost eating each other in a booth way back, near the restrooms. She pretended not to see that, and just followed Oliver to the bar. They grabbed their drinks and went to sit on a large love seat.
- Why did you say to Barry things are different for you? I'm sorry, I'm just curious. – Oliver said as he turned more to his side, facing Kara, who did the same.
- Because I'm not human… I wasn't meant to live like one. – She lowered her head.
- I don't believe that – Oliver said, getting her eyes to deeply stare at him. – You told me you had to send someone you love away to save his life, so you're able to love and care just like the rest of us. Or is there anything different in the process that I don't know about? – He teased, making her laugh.
He smiled; her laugh was one small victory.
- No, is not different. – Kara said.
- So if you have relationships just like humans, you can live like a human. Don't forget I'm Star City's vigilante, I know what is like to have a double life and to need to find balance in life. Is not easy, I agree. If you find someone that knows your secret and understands why sometimes you have to run away in the middle of a date because there are some terrorists attacking your city or why you want nothing more than to spend the night with them, but can't because a bunch of criminals decided to attack at 2 am and you need to rush there to stop them, it makes things a bit less complicated… For me I think that's what made me feel like I was meant to be alone, because my secret protects lives, I can't just bring people into this crazy life and change their life, is not fair… That's what Barry wasn't getting when I told him all of this.
Oliver thought about how when he started this life, he tried to have a normal relationship and the only time he got close to being happy in one, was when he welcomed Huntress in his life, thinking they could have something and that he could help her at the same time, only to find out he was deeply wrong. His eyes told Kara how much he wanted to make it work, but if it wasn't someone that knew the truth and understood it, it was impossible. And she could understand it because she felt the same way.
- For me it is hard because I'm an alien. I can't tell people I'm Supergirl, I can't bring people in knowing my enemies will use them to hurt me. Not everyone accepts aliens, some people are scared… Imagine going out with a guy and be like "by the way, I'm from another planet". – She laughed
- I think is awesome but it doesn't change the fact that you're still a beautiful woman with a golden heart and any guy would be lucky to be with you.
Oliver clearly said it without thinking, because it caught even him by surprise. Kara felt her cheeks turning red and she gave him a shy smile.
- Thank you… for that – She could hear his heart beating really fast now.
Now it was too late to be cautious with words, Oliver thought. He noticed her blushing and he thought she looked even more beautiful. He understood what she told him, he felt like that way too many times, but the fact that she was an alien shouldn't matter. He knew there was so much more to her than that.
- Listen… I know I'm not the one to talk; I'm just as hurt and heartbroken as you are right now but… It breaks my heart even more to know you think you can't have love in your life just because you're not human and have a double life as a super hero.
Kara stared into Oliver's eyes, their knees almost touching as they sat really close to each other. She took her glasses off, lowering her head down, thinking about the words he was saying. She lifted her head back up, feeling a bit lost in the way he was looking at her, a bit closer.
- You can kiss someone – He said in a low voice - feel their lips against yours – he paused, staring at her lips - and kiss them back – He finished, his eyes going back to fix on hers.
- Yes, I can…
- And – He said almost in a whisper, slightly touching the palm of her hand - you can feel someone's touch and feel their skin against yours and just get lost in them for a moment…
- I just have to be careful – She said, feeling as if she was hypnotized - not to hurt them, but yes…
- See? – He moved his hand away from hers - So you can have love in your life. You just need to want to and see if it's worth it. – He sighed – I can see it now.
- It has to be the right person… - Kara whispered, staring at his lips.
- At the right time – Oliver completed it – His hand slightly touched her bare knees, giving her chills.
They moved at the same time, reaching for each other as their lips finally touched and sparks exploded around them. Oliver sat closer to Kara, his hands going for her waist, bringing her impossible closer now as they kissed passionately, not caring at all if someone was watching. Kara grabbed the collar of his suit, bringing him closer to her and he could feel her strength, holding him in place. He couldn't believe what was happening, a few hours ago he was feeling miserable and now it was like everything made sense again and he was fully awake for the first time in days.
The first time they teamed up, right at the end, he could swear some sparks were about to explode around them, he had never felt so attracted to someone like that day, but he decided to ignore it, cause he was sure never, in a million years, Kara would be interested like he was. And it worked for a while. He thought it was just because of the moment, then he got back together with Felicity, but now, kissing her against the wall, in the middle of an empty and calm street, all those old feeling came back like a storm. He fought his instincts to just take a deep breath and recompose, what he knew it would be impossible if they kept kissing like that.
- We should… get back – He said, both panting, trying to catch their breath
Ever since he saw Kara arriving in that beautiful blue dress, he has been feeling something different. She was the first woman that made him feel like he had no idea what to do or say, she wasn't like anyone else he had been with and that made his curiosity increase. He felt one of her hands on his cheeks, caressing his face and the other on his knee, and it was becoming really hard for him not to attack her lips the way he wanted right there.
- Or… - She whispered as she caressed the back of his neck, brining his face closer to hers. He raised an eyebrow, staring curiously at her
Was Kara telling him what he thought she was telling? He couldn't actually believe his ears and definitely wasn't expecting it at all. Her slight touch in the back of his neck was giving him chills, and her lips was so close to his, he was finding really hard not to kiss her again.
- Or? – He asked, not able to hide the smile forming on his lips.
- I could super speed us… just tell me where, I'm not from around – She teased, blushing ten times harder than before but laughing nervously, making him laugh with her.
Yes, she was telling him what he thought she was and he felt a mix of surprise and excitement. He was used to lead the way when it came to flirting, but he was really enjoying seeing this side of Kara. She looked even more cute, he thought, and extremely attractive, even more than before. If he was smitten before, now he was totally at her mercy.
- There's my place… - Oliver suggested, their lips barely touching, trying to see where Kara wanted to go with this.
If anyone had told Kara she would be kissing and flirting with Oliver Queen like she was now, she would tell that person drank too much, because she was sure that yes, she had this crush on him from the moment they hugged at that victory party, the first time they teamed up, but she was sure it was something that would never go anywhere, and there was Mon El back then, he had just kissed her and she felt really confused. It felt like a lifetime ago, she thought. Suddenly she wasn't feeling sad anymore, she felt seen and heard because in front of her, there was someone who knew exactly what she was going through both as a super hero and as someone that also had been through heartbreak.
- We can go there – She smiled, making Oliver's heart jump inside his chest.
He nodded with his head as she held him strongly by the waist and in a matter of seconds; they went inside his loft through the open door in the balcony so fast that if anyone had looked up, would only see the curtains being hit by a whoosh of wind. He closed the door behind him as he looked at Kara, his eyes full of curiosity and want. She turned to face him.
- Like I said before, you can live like a human – Oliver said, taking a few steps closer to her. – Barry didn't lie when he told you that too, just as I'm not lying – His fingers caressed her cheeks - You kiss better than a lot of humans. – He teased, earning a smile from her.
- Barry was right about you too – She whispered – Seems like you can move on…
- I think we both can – His lips captured hers once again, and he kept asking himself why he didn't do that sooner, because kissing Kara was definitely one of the best things he had experienced in his life.
He held her waist, guiding her through the living room as he deepened their kiss. She helped him get rid of his suit and tie, opening his shirt slowly, trying not to rip it apart. Oliver noticed that, his lips reached for her neck, leaving a trail of kisses on her skin, and going up to the base of her ear.
- Don't hold back… - He whispered, holding her strongly by the waist - Especially against me.
Kara stared at him, letting a small laugh out as she remembered the first time he told her that when they had just met. She caressed his face, her hands going to his shoulders and chest, feeling his muscles against her touch.
- I can hurt you…
He grabbed his open shirt, taking it off and captured her lips with his, slowly tasting it. Kara kissed him back, at his slow pace and opened her eyes, just to see him staring at her with pure fire on his eyes.
- You won't. I trust you. And also…I can handle it – He said, staring at her with pure lust and she attacked his lips, not able to keep things slow at all after that.
Oliver brought Kara to his bedroom, not breaking their kiss apart as they stumbled together on the way there until they reached his bed. They stopped by the side of the bed and he gently turned her around, putting her hair to the side as he kissed the side of her neck while his hands unzipped her dress on her back. She could feel chills down her spine as he helped her out of it, holding her by the waist and bringing her hips close to his, kissing her shoulders as his hands caressed her abs. She turned around, giving him soft kisses down his neck, torso, chest and sat down on the bed, holding on his belt, bringing him closer as she gave soft kisses down his abs. His hand reached for her hair, playing with it and she gave a small pull, bringing him with her. He fully covered her body with his as her head rested on his pillow. It had his scent all over and she loved it. His lips fully covered hers; kissing her in a way that she was sure she would have many dreams for weeks.
They spent the rest of the night proving each other that yes; they could move on and find love again.
END OF FLASHBACK
Oliver sat on the bed and stared at Kara sleeping peacefully by his side, remembering the day of their first kiss. It was beyond memorable and unexpected and each night they spent together since then made him fall even more for her. Five months has passed since that day, and Oliver still felt like it had been just a few days. Five months of finding out together what they meant to each other even if they lived Earths apart. Kara slowly opened her eyes, smiling as she saw Oliver looking in such a lovely way for her, even if she probably looked a mess. He lay back down with her, under the sheets, giving her a good morning kiss. His body covered hers and Kara smiled, her hands caressing his strong arms.
- Last night was… - Kara whispered, as Oliver kissed her neck
- Perfect, like you… - He kept giving her soft kisses on her neck as she closed her eyes; just allowing herself to feel it all while his lips explored her body.
Since the first time they spent the night together, Kara found out how loving, caring and such a romantic Oliver was deep down. It was like their little secret and she loved that only she got to see this side of him. He always made sure she felt loved in many wonderful ways and she found herself letting him see a side of her that she kept buried inside. When she told him it was different for her, she wasn't just talking about when she felt like she couldn't have love because she was Kryptonian and that same night, he found out what she was talking about.
Yes, she was a Kryptonian. Her body didn't work the same as humans under the yellow Sun, so it wasn't easy for her to be with them. She always had felt like her options was close to none because all the time she had tried to be with humans, it ended up in an almost disaster and the only other alien she had loved, she had to send him away so he wouldn't die. Oliver had something different about him, and she never felt so glad for it. He showed up in her life just at the right time and since then, she never again felt alone. She felt him loving every single inch of her body and soul, and she couldn't feel happier. She could hear his heart beating fast every time they got together like this and she was sure, even without super hearing, he could hear hers as well.
He smiled, bringing his face closer to hers, as she caressed his cheeks.
- I hate fighting with you… Let's not do that again – He said
She leaned in, kissing him as she guided him to lady back while she covered his body with hers this time around, her hand caressing his abs.
- If there's no more surprises I don't know about, you'll be fine – She laughed.- I mean…
- No there isn't.
- There isn't? So... No more secret wives I should know about? – She teased him, making him laugh.
- No, I swear. And I'm truly sorry for that.
FLASHBACK
Team Arrow went back to the bunker after Kara helped them deal with another crazy guy trying to destroy the city.
- I think you should stop by more – Renee said, taking his mask off.
- I'm glad I could help this time – She said – Things are always so crazy back at my Earth, is a miracle no one came to tell me to go back yet.
They kept talking for a while, until a dark haired woman came to the bunker and Kara felt like ready to attack.
- It's ok, we know her – Oliver said – She just always forgets how to knock…
- Hello to you too, husband!
Kara was caught by surprise and tried to process if she had heard it right. Oliver immediately had a pissed look on his face.
- Husband? – Kara looked from Oliver to the mysterious woman.
- I'm not…
- Yes, you are – She smiled at Kara.
- Who are you? – Kara asked, not sure what else to say.
- Nyssa Al Ghul, heir to the demon, Al-Sa-Him's wife.
- Nyssa, my name is Oliver Queen and I'm not your husband. Just cut the crap and tell me what you want!
Kara could see Oliver was trying his best to contain his anger, but she was still confused about the whole situation. No one calls other people husband in public like that, so she really wanted to understand what that was all about, because there was no way Oliver Queen was married and didn't tell anyone, this is not something you keep from the person you've been with.
- We'll grab something to eat… Se you all later – Diggle said as he felt the tension in the air and was sure things were about to get really ugly. Renee and Dinah followed him, without saying a word.
- According to the League laws, you are. – Nyssa said, completely ignoring Diggle and the others - And I'm here because I need your help… League business.
- League…
- League of Assassins – Nyssa said, calmly
- Oh… that League. Sure… - Kara murmured – Seems to me you have a lot to talk about, so I'll… just go now…
- Kara, wait – Oliver said but Kara super speed away.
Barry wasn't kidding when he told Kara was angry when he benched her and he didn't know she could ever be angry. And he couldn't blame her. It wasn't the first time Nyssa did this kind of thing, and he was sure she only did it to piss him off and mess with him, but he didn't think it was funny at all.
- Your friend is interesting… She's like that friend of yours that's really fast?
- Kara is my girlfriend, and yes, she's fast… She's also the girl of steel, so I suggest you stop – He said as Nyssa raised an eyebrow, finding all of that even more interesting - This is someone I actually care about, someone I truly love and I won't let you ruin things, so tell me what you want and get the hell out of here.
- Love? – Nyssa looked at him, smirking – Have you told her that?
- Not…yet. – He sighed. He was really tired, and he knew he should have told Kara about everything that happened with the League, but he didn't actually take that serious, he wasn't married to anyone and didn't give a damn about League traditions. – But I will… and is none of your business.
Kara was still in her Supergirl suit so she flew around the Star City sky to take some air and think. Since they started to see each other, they have been sharing things about their lives, past traumas, hardships, but he never mentioned that woman before. She knew he had history with the League but he wasn't ready to talk about it at the time it was brought up, so she just gave him some space. She knew when he was ready, he would tell her. She just couldn't never imagine a marriage involved in the equation. And Nyssa was indeed gorgeous, she thought. She decided she wasn't going to stress over it, she owed at least a chance for him to tell her what was actually going on, so she just flew around until she was sure she was gone. She closed her eyes, flying high up in the sky and feeling the wind against her skin when she heard Oliver's voice.
- Kara, please come back… I need to talk to you.
She could notice the worry in his voice. She flew back to the bunker, finding Oliver with mask and hood off, but still in his Green Arrow suit. She took a few steps closer with her arms crossed.
- When you told me you weren't ready to talk about your League days, I wasn't expecting this…
Oliver felt his heart sinking by the look of hurt she had in her eyes. He put himself in her shoes, something he was still learning to do, and understood why. If things were opposite, he would be hurt too.
- It had nothing to do with Nyssa or League traditions I couldn't care less, Kara…
- Ok. – She said as she sat on a chair – I owe you a chance to explain, and I'll give you that… I just… Please understand, it really hurts when a gorgeous woman shows up calling the person you love husband and you have no idea what's going on…
- The person you love?
- This is not the time for this now, Oliver
Oliver took a deep breath and sat on the chair across Kara. She was right; there will be time for it later. At least he hoped so.
- I know about William, you told me what happened when you used to date Laurel. You told me the island changed you, and I know it did because since I've met you, you showed me again and again the great hero, leader and friend you are. I can't wait to meet William; he seems like the greatest kid. – She gave him a sad smile – But this… This is…
- Not actually a thing – Oliver said – I wasn't ready to talk about my time on the League before, because I'm not proud of what I had to do to save my city.
Kara could see the honesty in his eyes. She kept listening to him as he told her about Malcolm putting him in a situation where, to save his sister, he had to challenge R'as Al Ghul, Nyssa's father.
- I was basically brought back to life. An old friend of mine helped me and I could go back to my team, to protect my city. The League had traditions that I found ridiculous and annoying, but I couldn't escape it. Who survives R'as blade, should become the next R'as Al Ghul and I found out the hard way that for this to happen, the old me had to be erased, my city had to be destroyed.
- This is insane…
- He had a virus to destroy my city and kill everyone and to find this out and be able to stop his plans; I had to infiltrate the League. I knew one of the members from the days I was away and dead to the world, and he helped me. Thea's father also helped me, because he wanted to protect Thea.
Oliver stood up as he kept talking, remembering those dark days and what he had to do to complete his mission.
- I couldn't tell anyone what I was doing, I had to be believable, so I did what R'as wanted, to prepare myself to become the next R'as. I had to attack my friends, hurt them, and hurt the people I cared about… I kidnapped Lyla in front of their baby; I made my team believe I would kill them… All so R'as could trust me. It was horrible, Kara. I did horrible things and I tried to find another way, but there wasn't. If R'as thought even for a second I was actually trying to bring him down, he would've killed everyone and Star City would be a ghost town now.
Kara kept paying attention to every word he said, understanding now why he was reluctant to tell her all of this before. He was afraid she would see him differently, and think the worst of him. She reached for his hand and squeezed it.
- I can't imagine how hard it must have been to you…
Oliver nodded with his head, squeezing her hand back.
- Nyssa loved Sara with all her heart and her father was against it. She hoped to be the next R'as, but he punished her for loving a woman, so he made her suffer. He forced us to marry in a League ceremony, something that's only official to their eyes. That day, Nyssa tried to kill me.
- That's a horrible thing a father can do to his own daughter – Kara covered her mouth with her hands, feeling sympathetic to Nyssa and starting to feel bad for the way she got mad at Oliver. – Oliver, I'm sorry…
- No, Kara, you were right. I should have told you. – He said, holding her by the hand and bringing her closer to him. – I'm truly sorry for that, the last thing I would ever want is to hurt you. The thing is Nyssa hates me so much for all of that, even knowing I had to do things I didn't want to bring her father down, that she just pisses me off on purpose. I still think she would try to kill me again if she could.
- And… What happened with R'as? Did your plan work?
- Sort of. I found out his plans, was able to fight him, but it got really close to the virus being released… To stop him, I had to do the last thing I wanted to. I had to kill him. So that's why I told you I wasn't ready to talk about it. I was a killer for so long, and I was doing my best to honor Tommy, to make things differently. Then this guy showed up, killed my sister, making me ask for his help to bring him back, turned the entire city against me and my team, haunted me… I had to go back to the days I wanted to forget.
- Oliver…
- Kara, like I told you… Don't apologize because you had every right to be mad. I'm glad you know everything now.
- Thank you for telling me. I know it wasn't easy for you to relive that awful experience you had. And thank you for validating my feelings; I'm not used to it…
- No?
- I know I loved my ex… But I was constantly feeling disrespected and like even if he made mistakes and acted like a jerk in the beginning, I was the one constantly apologizing… It wasn't easy.
- It should be. At least when you love someone… - Oliver said, bringing her closer in a hug – Please know I'll always respect you and would never invalidate your feelings.
- I know… - She said as he gave her a soft kiss.
- I'm still feeling an idiot for not telling you sooner, so please let me make it up to you… Stop by my apartment tonight.
- Oliver, you don't need to…
- But I want to.
- Well, if you insist… Ok, I'll be there – She gave him another kiss – I need to stop by the DEO back at my Earth, but I'll be there.
- By 8pm.
- Ok.
END OF FLASHBACK
- Oh I remember the surprise… - She smiled, resting her head on his chest, feeling his hand caressing her hair.
- I'm glad I caused an impression – He teased, kissing her forehead.
- You know you did way more than that – She teased him, her lips touching the skin of his neck as her hand caressed his naked chest, down his abs, going slowly lower, catching him by surprise.
He turned his face to his side and kissed her back, trying not to lose his mind that early in the morning, remembering what she was talking about.
FLASHBACK
Oliver opened the door for Kara later that night and held her by the hand, welcoming her in. He was mesmerized by the sight of her in a beautiful dark blue knee-length dress, with a V-neck and thing straps on its shoulder. She stared in awe as soon as she stepped into the loft. First of all, there was a delicious smell coming from the kitchen, and if one thing made Kara really happy was food, especially if Oliver made it. Multiple candles were the only source of light in the entire loft, and she couldn't believe that her favorite music played in the background.
- This I Promise You by Nsync… How did you know?
- Alex helped – He smiled, bringing her closer – Only you could make me listen to it…
- Stop, they're great – She said, playfully.
- This song is not bad, I confess – He captured her lips with his.
They had dinner and enjoyed a nice evening, talking and listening to Kara's favorite music until Oliver got up, and reached for her hand, guiding her to the living room and bringing her body closer to his, as they slow danced. He looked really handsome in his white social shirt and black pants. She unbuttoned 2 buttons of his shirt, bringing her lips to the base of his neck. Oliver closed his eyes as they kept slow dancing, feeling her warm lips against his skin, giving him chills. Oliver brought his finger to her chin, lifting it up to look at him. His fingers caressed her cheeks as he brought his lips to give her a slow passionate kiss while his hands lowered to her waist, bringing her hips against his. He wanted her to know how much she affected him. Kara's lips gave him enough room to deepen the kiss as their tongues tasted each other. Her soft hands slowly opened the rest of his shirt and she smiled between their kiss as her hands caressed his torso and chest, and she could feel him reacting to it. Oliver stared intensely into her eyes, catching his breath as he reached for her hair, letting it loose from its bun.
- You look stunning in this dress – He said, reaching for a strap on her left shoulder and lowering it, giving soft kisses to her skins, up her neck – But I can't wait to get you out of it – He whispered in a serious tone with his deep voice, driving her crazy, feeling her slightly tremble under his touch. He smiled at her reaction, giving her a playful bites near the tip of her ear as he reached for the zipper of the dress, opening it slowly, his fingers brushing slightly her skin down her spine, earning a soft moan from her as she trembled once again, pressuring her hips softly against his. He loved to see and hear she respond to him. She reached for his open shirt, taking it off of him and letting it fall on the carpet. Her fingers circler his muscles, down his chest to his abs. She reached for his belt and took it off, dropping it on the floor.
Their lips met again, full of want and passion, as he fully embraced her by the waist and suddenly the living room felt ten times hotter. He guided her to the couch as they kissed, holding her tight by the waist as he gently made her sit on the edge of it, kneeling in front of her, between her legs, not letting go of their kiss. His hands went slowly up her legs, squeezing her tights strongly with his fingers, bringing her hips closer to his. If it was possible, he was sure it would leave a mark. His hands went back to her hips. His lips went to her cheeks, down her chin, making a trail down her neck, to her shoulder as he pulled both straps of the dress down for good, kissing every inch of revealed skin as his hands reached for the edge of the dress, pulling it up her waist. His right hand went back to her tights, to her most intimate spot and she reacted, moving her hips along in his slow pace. Her mouth hang a bit open against his as she panted, letting out small moans against his lips, turning him even more on, if that was possible. She lifted her hands, helping him get rid of the dress as he went back to kiss her neck, leaving the dress on the floor.
- Close your eyes – He said – And don't use your x-ray vision – he teased, giving a few more kisses to her neck.
She stared at him, full of curiosity and feeling a bit nervous, but she did as he asked and closed her eyes. She noticed he wasn't near her anymore for a few seconds, and suddenly his lips were kissing her cleavage. She felt some fabric over her eyes and her heart started to race, wondering what in Rao's name he was up to. He went back to kiss her, her hands reaching for the back of his neck as she messed his hair up and he was gone once again. It took him a few seconds to be back and she could feel him kneeling in front of her again, his lips approaching her ear.
- Before, if I'm not crazy, you said I was someone you loved…
- Yes… I did it. – She said, feeling his beard scratching down her skin, his lips doing wonders to her as he reached her belly.
She almost jumped from the couch, holding tight on his hair once she felt what he was doing to her. He loved the sound of her voice filling his ears as he tasted every inch of her as she felt his beard scratching her sensitive skin. He made a trail of kisses up her body, until he reached her lips, attacking them and helping her get rid of his pants. He sat by her side and held her waist, guiding her to straddle him.
- Ollie… I'm dying of curiosity – She said with the fold still in her eyes as she pressed her hips against his, impatiently.
Oliver's heart raced as he heard her calling that for the first time, and he loved it. He kissed her again, fully devouring her lips, giving her playful bites through her neck
- I want you to know – He said between kisses as he pressed his hips against hers, his hand traveling up her face – That the only person I want to hear calling me husband is you… - He took the piece of fabric from her eyes, holding a beautiful and shinny ring on his hand while the other traveled down her abs, to her legs, back where she wanted him the most.
Kara felt dizzy, not knowing where to look first as she felt everything at once, but once she stared at Oliver's hand; she frowned, in a mix of shock and surprise.
- I love you Kara Zor El – He said – And I want to spend the rest of my life loving you the way you deserve it. I didn't know what true love was until our first kiss in that club…
Her eyes filled with emotional tears mixed with pure want as he took her slowly and she could swear it was like torture, but in the good way. She stared at the beautiful ring in one of his hands while his other hand went to her back as she leaned it, making him fully rest his back against the back of the couch.
- Will you marry me, and be my real wife? – He whispered to her, holding her gaze with his and loving to see her bright smile as she left soft cries of pleasure out.
She held tight on his shoulders, one of her hands caressing his face as her hips moved along with his.
- Yes – She moaned against his lips – I will
Oliver held one of her hands, putting the ring on her finger, and kissing her hand and then her lips, not able to hold back anymore. He held her hair, bringing her face closer to his as they kissed and moaned sweet words to each other, moving in a perfect rhythm.
- I love you – He whispered, giving her the most wonderful massage where they were joined and they saw stars together.
- I love you – She whispered, completely out of breath, resting her head between his neck and shoulder.
She gave him a few kisses on the base of his neck, feeling wave after wave washing over her. She slightly bit his skin, feeling more waves hitting her. She brought her lips to his, giving him slow kisses between a few soft cries. She felt delirious and he could feel her skin on fire for him.
He felt like he died and went to heaven. He had the most beautiful and powerful woman in the world in his arms, crying his name over and over again, as she made him feel like burning for her and wanting more.
He could be like this with her forever and he wouldn't care.
END OF FLASHBACK
The memories didn't help and just like that, he was again at her mercy, losing his mind. She kissed him slowly while equally slowly tortured him.
- I can't wait to call you my wife – He whispered between their kiss
- I'll love calling you my husband – She smiled, between their kiss.
The next day, DEO was busy as always. Oliver went to Earth 38 to help them with a mission and was surprised to learn that apparently a ship was at the bottom of the ocean, and it appeared to have someone inside of it. They were at the conference room, talking about what to do when a weird noise came from downstairs and they all rushed to see what was happening.
Most of the agents were out in the field, so there was just J'onn, Alex, Brainy, Oliver and Kara there when after a bright white light exploded around the DEO, two new people appeared in front of them: a blonde green eyed girl looking around her 20's and a dark haired, blue eyed guy, looking around the same age. Both had scared looks and tears on their eyes.
- What… is happening? – Alex asked, prepared to go into fight mode
- It worked… - The blonde girl said, as if she couldn't believe what was happening.
- Dad? – The guy say, staring at Oliver.
Oliver found that face really familiar, but he had no idea how that could be possible. Barry was the one expert on those things, not him.
- William? – Oliver asked and the guy ran to hug him, crying
- It's me! – He said and Oliver hugged him back
Kara looked shocked at the scene and then to the blonde girl taking a few steps towards apparently adult William and Oliver. As soon as they let go, Oliver turned to look at her, confused. The girl seemed to be unsure if she should approach him or not.
- Dad?
Now Kara was confused. She knew Oliver had a son called William, but a daughter? That was new and by the look in Oliver's face, it was also a surprise for him until the girl looked at her.
- Mom? – She asked, still looking like she had no idea of what to do.
Kara just froze in shock, trying to process what was going on. Alex and J'onn had similar looks on their faces, but Brainy didn't seem surprised.
- I'm sorry… what? – Kara asked, feeling like she was really dizzy.
The girl and William stared at each other and then back to Kara and Oliver.
- I'm your daughter from the future – The girls said – Mia Danvers Queen.
- Ok, that's…wow – Alex said.
- Aunt Alex! – William said as he ran to hug her, catching her by surprise.
- H…Hi – Alex said – What's happening?
- We came from the future…
- Hey, hey, hey! – Brainy said, interrupting Mia – I'm sorry, but you can't talk about the future… It can
- Mess the space-time continuum, and all that crap! – Mia completed – We came here to warn them, I don't care about the stupid time continuum…
Mia said as if she was ready to fight Brainy, not actually with patience to deal with the time travel crap talk. Alex stared at Oliver with a funny look in her eyes.
- She's definitely your daughter!
Mia had no intention of keep arguing with them, so she just rushed in super speed, taking William, Kara and Oliver back to Kara's place.
- And Kara's – J'onn said, with a shocked look on her face.
- I'll… deal with the mission… Let's go Brainy – Alex said, walking away as if she got just knocked down.
Back at Kara's place, Mia stared around the place with a relieved look. William rushed to the bin in the kitchen.
- Damn it, Mia, you know I hate surprise super speed traveling…- William said looking really nauseous.
- Ok… What's happening? I'm really confused right now – Kara said, trying to make sense of everything she was just witnessing. – Were you crying before? What happened? What worked?
- One thing at the time, mom – William said – I know it's weird because we technically didn't meet yet, but I started calling you mom like 2 or 3 years after you got married.
- It's ok – Kara smiled, starting to feel less dizzy. – It's just…too much information in just a few seconds… Let's… sit…
They all sat in the couch.
- Our experiment worked. – Mia said, wiping a few tears from her eyes. – I'm sorry is just that… - Mia stared at Kara, seriously, trying to avoid eye contact with Oliver. – The future sucks. We were working with Dawn Allen; she was trying to help us go back in time to see if we could maybe change things.
- Dawn Allen? – Oliver asked, confused.
- Uncle Barry and Aunt Sara's daughter. – William
- And Barry was ok with that? – Oliver asked, making Mia turn abruptly to him.
- Is not like he was around to say something anyways…
- What?
- You and Uncle Barry vanished in some sort of Crisis. You all left your families behind to save the world – Mia got up, feeling the tears coming back to her – I was 2 when that happened. Mom survived but we never again heard from you or him.
Oliver remembered seeing a weird newspaper from the future, at Star Labs, when they gathered together to fight the Dominators, but he had no idea it was this huge thing.
- Dawn was our last hope trying to stop this from happening, or at least try to help… All I know is that we couldn't just sit back and try to move on with our lives when time travel was a possibility! And don't you dare talk to me about rules, because I don't give a damn! – Mia said, knowing what Kara was going to say.
- Mia… - Kara said – I'm really sorry about the future you had to live in and the reality you had to grow in. – She stared at Oliver – But I won't talk to you about rules, because I think I would do the same.
- I don't know anyone who wouldn't do the same – Oliver said.
Oliver was aware of the implications, but he saw more than once his friends changing their future, so maybe he could do the same. Kara walked towards Mia.
- You know me very well in the future, but you are my future, so I know nothing about it yet. I can't believe I'm staring at my future daughter… You're so beautiful… And so much like Oliver – She smiled, staring from Mia to Oliver.
Mia seemed to be more at ease at that moment, glad her parent weren't creating a fuss over the situation. Even if they did, she would still go on with her plan because she wouldn't lose her family.
- Mia… - Oliver said as he turned to face her – I want you and William to know that I would never put anything above my family. Ever. If I did leave to fight in a Crisis, the world was probably at risk and I probably wanted to make sure there was a world for my children to grow up in.
Mia kept staring at her feet, with her arms crossed. She was still pissed at him for leaving them, but he had a point. She would just never admit it.
- I can't imagine what it was like for the both of you to live in this future… - Oliver took a pause, trying to recompose himself because he was starting to feel some tears coming. – But I want you two, and Kara, to know that I would do whatever it takes to keep my family safe and our home safe.
- And you're here now – Kara said – The future is not settled in stone. We can change it.
Mia and William stared in surprise at each other.
- You guys aren't mad at us? – William asked, feeling a bit unsure about it all.
- Why would we? – Kara asked, staring at Oliver and then back to William and Mia – I am happy to meet you, to be able to help save our family.
- When does it happen? This Crisis?- Oliver asked
- Less than a year from now. – William said.
- Ok, so we'll have a lot of time to prepare, warn our friends, learn everything we can about it… - Kara said
- And we can train you – Oliver said
- Oh, Mia has mom's powers but she is an awesome archer, you have to see it – William said, excitedly, earning an annoyed look from Mia.
- Stop it – She said, staring down at her feet.
- I would love to – Oliver said and Mia lifted her head, staring at him
- Really? – She asked and Oliver nodded with his head.
Mia and William spend the rest of the day with Oliver and Kara, telling them about the future and the things they wanted to change. Oliver promised to help them train and bring them along to visit Star Labs, and meet their friends.
A week later, Kara was in the shower while Oliver and William went for a run. Mia was at the kitchen, trying some of her dad's receipts and failing miserably, almost setting the kitchen on fire. She quickly used her freeze breath to stop the fire and was trying to calm down from the scare when she heard a knock on the door. She opened it, seeing a weirdly familiar guy.
- Hi, is Kara home?
- Who are you? – Mia asked abruptly, not giving any room for small talk.
- I'm Mon El…
Mia felt like her blood was boiling up out of sudden, just by seeing his face, and hearing his name. She knew she had seen him somewhere, and there he was: the guy that broke her mom's heart. She heard the story when she was a bit younger, about what he did and how her mom suffered because of him.
Kara had finished her showed and changed into comfy clothes, her hair completely dry. She approached the door and froze when she saw who that was. Mia just looked from Mon El to Kara, with a smirk forming in her lips.
- And I'm Kara and Oliver's daughter, Mia Danvers Queen, nice to meet you – She reached for his hand and he didn't take it, just stared in shock.
- Oliver… - He said, trying to remember
- Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow! – She proudly said it. – I don't think you know him; he's from a different Earth…
- Can I…
- No, you can't! Whatever the hell you want! I know everything about you, and I don't like you, so stay away before I make you. Spoiler alert: you won't like it!
She slammed the door on his face and stared at Kara's shocked face.
- Mia… I…
- Mom, believe me… Is not worth it!
Kara just felt confusion washing over her. In the past she had dreamed about the day she would see him, or even know if he was alive at all. Now, she knew she had no feelings at all for him, but she still felt like there was this chapter of her life left open, and she wanted nothing more than to close it, but she didn't like the situation and didn't understand Mia's behavior. She used her x-ray vision and saw that Mon El was still in the hall.
- Mia, please stay here. I need to talk to him, and then later, you can tell me what happened for you to hate him like you seem to do.
- Ok…
Kara went outside in the hall, and saw Mon El staring at her with surprise and sadness on his eyes.
- I'm sorry about that… I'm still trying to figure it all out…
- You have a daughter…
- She's… from the future – Kara said - I'm still trying to understand it all… So… What happened? How are you here now?
- I went to the future and somehow they found a cure there. I created a team of super heroes with a few friends and we were in the middle of a fight, when our ship was pulled by a wormhole and the next thing I new, I'm waking up at the DEO in the past… Alex, Brainy and J'onn found us…
- Oh, the mission… Mia and William showed up right when we were about to check that out…
- William?
- Oliver's son, Mia's half brother.
- Listen, I wanted to see you… I missed you a lot and I dreamed with the day I would see you again.
- I dreamed with that too Mon El. And it took me a really long time to get over it. I had no idea if you were alive or not, and it was a nightmare, waking up each day, not knowing… It wrecked me. It took me a whole year to learn to move on, to open my heart again…
- A whole year? For me it was just a few months. – He said, with a few tears in his eyes – I just… Kara, I never stopped loving you.
- The thing is… I'm happy. I'm in love; I just found out that I'll have a beautiful daughter. I'm sorry. I'm happy to see you're ok, I really am. But that's it.
Mon El took a deep sad breath and nodded with his head.
- I understand. – He said. – I'm sorry… I wish you nothing but happiness. – He turned around and quickly walked away.
Kara went back inside and after a few minutes, Oliver and William came back from their ruin. Oliver walked towards Kara, giving her a small kiss.
- Can you two please not traumatize us? – Mia joked, covering her eyes, making Oliver and Kara laugh.
- Funny – Oliver joked and turned to Kara – Did Mon El just stopped by? I just saw him leaving the building.
Oliver had seen the guy only once, back when they were fighting over the fact he lied to her about being the prince of his planet and he brought Kara back to his Earth, to save her from a weirdo that trapped her and Barry inside a freaking musical. It was a weird scene he would never forget, since he was at the Star Labs the moment they arrived with J'onn.
- Yes. I finally could close a chapter of my life that was left open. – Kara said, as Oliver hugged her. He knew way too well what she was talking about.
- Didn't Mia punch him? – William asked, finding that idea really entertaining.
- Oh, I wanted to, believe me – Mia said, making Oliver and Kara look at her confused.
- Mia what happened in the future? I could tell you truly hate him.
Mia stared from Oliver to Kara, thinking about telling them the whole truth or not. By the look her parents gave her, it was the best if she just spilled it out.
- In our timeline, things happened differently apparently. I was waiting to see your reaction, but I'm sure now. In our timeline, he came back after staying in the future for 7 years. For you, it was 7 months.
- What did he do? – Oliver asked
- When he came back, mom was happy, thinking everything was going to be back to normal, but she noticed something was off. He was acting weird and wouldn't tell her why. He got really stressed out about someone that came with him on the ship, almost dying. It was a woman named Imra. She was part of his team of super heroes from the future. You told me that he kissed her in front of you, before telling you she was his wife. He had the whole damn day to tell you, but he preferred to let you delude yourself and let you see them kiss, knowing how you still felt about him. Since you told me, I knew all I wanted to do was to come back in time and punch the bastard, so when I saw him today… It took a lot for me to hold back.
- Wow… - Kara said – Well, I'm glad your past was changed. It wasn't easy the way things happen for me, and I still took a lot of time to finally move on, but I did. Your father and I found each other just at the right time.
- Yes, we did. – Oliver said as he held Kara's hand, sitting by her side on the couch, across Mia and William.
- And I want both of you to know something – Kara said as she reached for Mia's and William's hand. – We won't let anything happen to your dad, Barry or anyone in the team. If my past with Mon El changed somehow, yours can change too.
- Whatever Crisis coming, we'll face it together. – Oliver said it, knowing that now, he had 2 more reasons to fight and survive.
Whatever it takes, he thought.
