Chapter Seventeen: Pouts & Flash drives.
After the call with Kara, Oliver called his Russian friend back. "Мне не нравится, когда меня задерживают, мистер Королева. (I don't like being put on hold, Mr. Queen)"he said once Oliver took him off hold.
"Это был важный звонок(It was an important call)," Oliver said bluntly his voice not apologetic. "What do you have?" He asked now in English.
"His name is Floyd Lawton, I have an address,"the guy told him."Where he stayed last time he was in Starling City, but that is all."
"Let's hope he's a creature of habit," Oliver said. "Go."
"1700 Broadway, Papp Motel, room 52,"he told Oliver."You leave us out of this, yes?" he questioned, "Assuming Mr. Lawton doesn't kill you first."
Oliver ended the call after the words left his mouth, stuffing his phone back in his jacket pocket. He had two things on his mind, dealing with Lawton then making it to Kara and the twins.
After getting off the phone with Oliver, Kara turned towards her children who were still wide awake watching TV. She stood in the doorway holding her phone to her chest. "Momma," Astra's soft voice caught her attention.
"Yeah baby?"
"Is he gonna come?"
"Yes," Kara nodded a small smile on her face. "He just has a little errand to run then he'll be here." Astra gave Kara a small nod before turning back to the TV holding her stuffed toy that Laurel had gotten her.
Kara's phone began to ring. She looked down and saw it was Tommy video calling her, she moved away from the room and answered. "Hi."
"Hey,"she saw him smile softly."How are they?"
"They're in my bed watching'Avatar: The Last Airbender'and won't sleep," she answered.
"And how are you?"
"I'm fine," Kara answered even if she and Tommy both knew that was a lie.
"How about I come over and spend some time with my favorite people?"Tommy gave her a smile.
Kara couldn't help but let out a soft laugh holding her head down. "That would be nice.." she sighed "But the twins have requested that Oliver would come over tonight."
"Really?"Tommy looked shocked.
"Yeah," Kara sighed again, "Let him want to be in their life and spend one night with them and Robbie is already attached."
"And what about Astra?"
"She's uh...almost there, she's getting used to him I think."
Tommy only nodded; he could see a thought coming to Kara's head and wanted to change the subject."How about we go out?"
That brought Kara to look at her phone trying to hide the small blush that came to her face. "Tommy we've been through this..."
"We can't have sex anymore, I know,"Tommy nodded."But Ireallylike you...and...I think it's time for me to officially get over Laurel."
In all honesty, Tommy has been over Laurel since he's slept with Kara for the first time but Kara would always shut him down when he'd ask to take her out or if he or someone in their friend group would joke about them getting together.
"Tommy...the twinsjustgot kidnapped...and I don't feel like being someone's second..."
"I know, and you won't be..."Tommy told her, his voice soft."Justonedate and if you don't want to do another then we can stay friends."
"Fine."
Blueprints on a screen moved as Lawton typed on his computer scanning a building, he popped his shoulders, this his neck . Outside his hotel door; stood the hood no emotion on his face whatsoever. Lawton sensed someone near his door as his face suddenly got a little tense and his door was suddenly kicked in.
Lawton jumped and the Hood entered, aiming then shooting an arrow at the man. Lawton ducked out his chair making the arrow hit the chair instead of him.
Lawton started shooting at the doorway where Hood no longer stood, but hid from the bullets in the hallway. Hood stuck his head back in shooting another arrow that hit a lamp, sparks flying everywhere.
Lawton's grunts could be heard as he shot more bullets, hiding behind the bed as a third arrow was shot and landed in the mattress, Lawton stuck his hand out shooting more bullets.
Hood stood in the hall pressed against the wall he poked his head in the room hearing Lawton jumped out the window. Hood ran in the room looking out the window, he moved away from the window hearing sirens.
He moved to the computer, pulling out the flash drive before shutting it and grabbing it running out the room.
Outside Danvers Apartment
Oliver entered Kara's building, he reached her door only to find Diggle at her door holding two bags. "What are you doing here?" Oliver's eyebrows furrowed.
"Mr. Merlyn got home safe, overheard that you would be here," Dig told Oliver. "Also figured that since I beat you here you thought to get her kids something after being taken but clearly now," he said, noticing Oliver's empty hands. "Luckily I made a stop for you," he held out one pink bag and one yellow bag.
Oliver stared at the man, "You're only meant to be my bodyguard not my errand boy," Oliver took the bags anyway. Diggle only nodded a sly smirk on his face.
Oliver turned towards Kara's door knocking, in a split second the door opened revealing a tired Kara. "You're late."
"Didn't know I had a specific time," Oliver stared at her. "I had to get gifts."
Kara studied him then turned her attention towards Diggle before looking back towards Oliver. She had of course heard the conversation between the two. "Astra doesn't like pink," Kara told Oliver but was speaking to Diggle. "But Tommy does like yellow."
Oliver nodded. "I'll keep that in mind."
Kara nodded, stepping aside allowing Oliver in. "You have a bodyguard," Kara commented.
"John Diggle meet Kara Danvers, Kara, this is John Diggle," Oliver said bluntly entering the apartment.
"Would you like to come in Mr. Diggle?" Kara asked him.
"It's just Dig or Diggle and -"
"He's cool with waiting outside," Oliver said, cutting the man off.
"With all due respect sir, last time I had to wait outside you and Mr. Merlyn got your asses kicked," Diggle stepped into the apartment.
Kara stifled a laugh. "Come on in," Kara smiled at Dig who nodded. "Have a seat wherever you like, would you like anything to drink?" she asked him.
"No thank you," Diggle smiled politely at her taking a seat on her couch. Oliver watched his bodyguard annoyance over his face hoping it'd be just him, Kara, Robbie, and Astra. But apparently not.
Small footprints could be heard coming from the hall. All three adults turned their heads towards Robbie, the little boy's head looked all around until his eyes landed on Oliver, his frown and previous negative emotions quickly replaced with a big smile and happiness.
"You came!" he ran to Oliver.
Oliver sat the gift bags he was holding on the dining table before picking Robbie up.
Kara couldn't help but smile at her son's smile, Diggle watched then stood up clearing his throat. "On second thought I think I'll wait in the car."
"I might stay the night," Oliver said which made Robbie smile more and Kara's dropped slightly as she stared at her ex, her eyebrow arching slightly. "I...I mean if that's alright with you..." Oliver stammered.
He couldn't believe it. He has survived five years in hell, and his harmless ex-fiancé arches one eyebrow and now he's stammering asking for her permission.
Robbie was still in Oliver's arms as he looked to his mom, "Can he?" judging by the look on his mother's face Robbie already guessed her answer so he pulled her own move on her and pouted.
"Fine..." Kara sighed, not saying no to the pouts her children through at her.
Oliver nodded, turning back to Diggle. "I'm staying the night."
"I can sleep in a car," Diggle said flatly.
"I have a guest room," Kara offered, not wanting the man to be uncomfortable.
"Ms. Danvers, I've slept in way more uncomfortable positions," Diggle said. "I can sleep in a car."
"Well at least take a blanket and pillow," it was now Robbie who didn't want the man to be cold and uncomfortable in the car even if Diggle was a stranger.
Oliver sighed. He didn't really care what Dig did but he did want Dig out so he could have alone time. "Are you gonna say no to the child who has suffered tonight?" Oliver asked.
Diggle glared up at Oliver before looking down at Robbie, whose pout deepened, the two had a small eye contest until he finally gave in. "Alright," he sighed and Kara already had a blanket and pillow in hand. "Thank you," he smiled politely at her before leaving.
"Where's Astra?" Oliver asked.
"She just fell asleep before you got here," Kara folded her arms.
Oliver nodded. "I got you something little man," he sat Robbie down, grabbing the yellow gift bag.
"What is it!?" Robbie bounced excitedly.
"Why don't you open it and see," Oliver said, giving him the bag, obviously not knowing since he didn't actually buy the gift.
Robbie pulled out a Toy Story, Woody doll, the little boy let out a small squeal. "How did you know I liked Toy Story!?" he looked up at Oliver.
"Not too loud buddy," Kara said.
Robbie nodded then grabbed Oliver's hand "Come watch Avatar with me!" he pulled Oliver towards Kara's bedroom. Kara followed the two she stood in the doorway watching as Oliver helped Robbie into the bed, he scooted closer to Astra as Oliver sat on the bed.
This was what she imagined all those nights and years Oliver was away, him and her in bed with their children, fully married with probably more than two children. But she couldn't think about that right now, she was going on a date with Tommy soon, she had to get over Oliver, a date would and should make her get over Oliver.
Her phone dinged, she moved into the room grabbing her phone off the nightstand, it was a text from Tommy.
Tommy: Me you = Saturday night at Big Belly Burger?
Kara:Classy, it's a date.
"Everything ok?" Oliver's voice brought her attention from her phone.
"Huh? Oh yeah just Tommy...checking in," she told him, it was a lie. Why did she lie? She had already told Oliver that she had slept with Tommy but she had also told him nothing else did or was going to happen.
Oliver nodded, turning his attention back to Robbie who had seemed to quickly fall asleep in Oliver's arms, "They look peaceful," he commented in a soft voice.
"They always look peaceful when they sleep," Kara nodded.
"Do they have any injuries from the kidnapping?"
"Uh...Robbie has or had a headache," she saw the worry come across Oliver's head. He knew what headaches could lead to if someone had hit their head. "It's nothing bad, Alex made sure of that," he nodded once Kara had assured him.
Kara studied him. He had only been back for two weeks, only met them twice and now he already has the parental instincts that she had when she gave birth. He saw the concern and love for them in his eyes.
That's also when she noticed the few bruises on his face. "What happened to your face?"
"Tommy took me to Max Fuller's club...and well he's still pissed that I slept with his fiancé."
Kara tried to think back to her video call with Tommy, did she not notice he had been in a fight?
"You slept with his fiancé?" Kara asked. "When?"
"When we got in the fight about you moving to National to be closer to Alex.." Oliver said in his voice a whisper but the guilt was evident. Kara nodded slowly. "My uhm...my mother said something..."
"Wait let me guess," Kara cut him off. "Something about me lying about the twins being yours?" She let out a scoff at Oliver's nod. "I'm not lying. Once your mother found out my little slip up with Tommy thanks to Malcolm, she forced me to get a DNA test since we didn't have anything of yours it was only Tommy's DNA we had and it wasn't his still didn't have any prof and she practically slut shamed me until Thea found some of your old hair in a brush and proved," she told him. "I have the papers if you want proof."
"No I believe you," Oliver shook his head. "I can't believe my mother did that."
"She did," Kara sat in a chair by her bed. Oliver moved to get off the bed but Kara stopped him with her hand. "Don't move."
"I can sit in the chair you get your bed," Oliver offered.
"No," she shook her head. "He's comfortable, he feels safe with you...if you move he'll wake up."
Oliver nodded and he laid back, getting a little more comfortable. "How long have you been seeing him?" Oliver asked out of nowhere.
"Seeing who?"
"Tommy," Oliver said. "Thea spilled the beans that it happened more than once."
"I'm not...Tommy and I aren't your concern," she stated firmly.
"I'm not mad..."
Kara let out a small sigh/scoff. "Oliver, I don't need your permission to date."
"I know," he nodded, looking down at the twins. "But I'd rather you have date someone we both know and trust with them than some random guy who —"
"Turns out to be a lying cheating jerk like the man I almost married?" Kara's tone was harsh and a whisper as she cut him off. Kara stood up. "I'm gonna get you some ice for those," she walked out.
Oliver sighed, he looked to his side before deciding to go after her. He slowly pulled from under Robbie making sure not to wake the little boy.
Robbie moved slightly but didn't wake up, Oliver smiled slightly before walking out of Kara's room closing the door behind him going to the kitchen. "Kara," Oliver said her name as he entered the kitchen.
Kara didn't say anything as she dug in the freezer for some ice. "Kara," he said softly. "I'm sorry," he said.
"You already apologized," Kara sighed, pulling out frozen peas, she tossed him the peas and he easily caught it, placing it on his face. "Do you know what's feels like to be cheatedmultipletimes?"
"I...no," Oliver sighed leaning against her counter.
"Well I do," Kara told him. "And it takes a while to get over, especially when you have two kids by that same person. I don't need your approval or input on who I date," she said, her tone firm. "The worst part was waiting to see if one of your whores were gonna show up at my doorstep or the Queen mansion with a child with her."
"I was safe."
"You weresafe?" Kara scoffed, "You were using protection to make sure your ass was safe from what? You knew I was gonna leave you the next time you did it!" she raised her voice slightly, "and if I wasn't so blinded by the love I had for you I would have been smart enough to leave the first time!" By the time those words left Kara's lips, Oliver had tears in his eyes and Kara tears were already sliding down her face. "Then I remember..." she said lowering her voice, "I had cheated once as well...and if I had left you..." she paused swallowing before continuing, "If I had left you, they probably wouldn't have been born," she pointed towards the back room. "Those kids are the greatest things to happen to me, despite who that came from," she sniffed.
"I..." Oliver couldn't form any words, all he could and wanted to was apologize, but something gave him the idea that Kara was sick of the words. Perhaps it was the tears that were streaming down both of their faces.
"Don't," she stopped wiping her tears, "Don't apologize, I'm sick of apologies," she scoffed. "If you want me to leave you alone, I will, Rao knows I want you to leave me alone," those words stabbed Oliver in the chest. "But you've got my kids attached to you now, and I wouldn't take away their right to a chance to get to know their dad," she told him. "So you're gonna be there for them and I swear if you make either of them cry," she stepped towards them. "You won't have to worry about Alex, or Clark, or J'onn hurting you for me, I'll make you wish you had been stranded on that island a whole lot longer just like I do," she threatened. "Do I make myself clear?"
All Oliver could do was nod, he had never heard Kara threaten someone, he's seen her angry plenty of times, times where Alex and Clark always made comments about his past and she'd be the first to defend him without keeping her anger in check. He never thought she'd be threatening him.
"So now, you're gonna go in that room and be with my kids who are now awake."
Oliver nodded again, setting the frozen peas on the counter before walking back to Kara's room. Kara watched as he left, once he was out of sight the tears immediately came back as she slowly slid to the floor, silently crying so the twins wouldn't hear her.
Flashback
Kara laid in bed in the Queen mansion, Moira had offered for her to stay there since she was pregnant, Kara had turned her down but she had seen how Thea was handling Oliver and Robert's death, so she moved in. But all Kara could do was lay in bed and some nights Thea would join her, some days Tommy, Winn, Barry, and Caitlin would come pull her out of bed just to go to appointments.
Eliza and J'onn were there as well for support, but four important people she'd like to be there for her pregnancy weren't there, Oliver and Sara had an excuse of being dead.
But what were Clark and Alex's? Lois even came down for her during Oliver's funeral. It's not like they were grieving, neither of them liked Oliver.
"Ms. Danvers," Raisa's voice came along with a knock.
"I already ate," Kara mumbled but it was loud enough for the woman to hear. This was a recurrent thing, Kara had to lose her powers for the babies to be alright, she was in a depression state, her fiance and friend had died while both were sleeping together behind her back.
Kara wanted nothing to do with eating or leaving the room. She turned her head towards the door when it opened. "I told you.." she stopped seeing it was Alex and Clark.
This didn't cheer her up. "Oh look who finally showed up," she scoffed, turning back around to look at the window that showed Oliver's grave in perfect view. "Come to finally brag about you both being right?" Both stayed silent, shocked to see the state she was in. "Well you were...and I found out by him dying," she tried to scoff but her voice cracked and tears quickly came out of her eyes. "Fucking hormones."
"Kara..." it was Alex who took a step closer to the bed, her voice was soft.
"You're pregnant?" was Clark's question as he still stood by the door.
"Yes, just another fucking reminder of how stupid I was to stay with him," Kara cried not turning to look at her sister or cousin. "That's only the worst part, the two people I wanted to be here didn't show for a whole month. I got comfort from Moira before my own sister and cousin," she said bitterly.
"Kara...we..." Alex tried to talk but she had never seen her sister this sad not even she had arrived on Earth.
"We were busy..." Clark said.
"Too busy for me?" Kara still never faced them, "Right,Supermanneeded all over the world but where was he for his cousin huh?" she scoffed tears running down her face as she still stared out the window rubbing her stomach. "Where wasAgent Danverswhen her sister needed her?" her tone got more bitter until now it was just anger.
"Kara..."
"Shut up!" she snapped, finally turning to look at them, "I don't need you now, you can leave."
"Kara..."
"She told you to leave," Thea's voice came from behind them, Thea walked into the over to Kara's bed. "You heard her she doesn't need you," Thea told them firmly as she hugged Kara who just cried in her arms.
End of Flashback
Oliver reached the doorway, he had fixed himself up on the way to the bedroom, he saw both Robbie and Astra sitting up in the bed, Avatar had gone off.
"Hey," Oliver gave them a smile.
"See I told you that he was here!" Robbie smiled.
Astra stared at Oliver, she of course had heard Kara yelling and that's why she woke up, her brother on the other hand had woken up due to Oliver missing. Astra paid good attention to everything, she'd hear everything and kept it to herself if necessary, but Robbie, he avoided seriousness as if it was the plague, yeah probably had something to do with him being five years old but he paid attention and whenever he did it was always bad so he avoided it all.
"I heard mama shouting at you," Astra said her voice didn't have any emotion in it right now. "You hurt her?"
"Astra, don't be silly, he loves our mama!" Robbie said. "He wouldn't hurt her!"
All Oliver could do was sigh as he walked over to the bed, he sat in his previous spot. "I did hurt your mama once," Oliver told Robbie which made the boy's smile falter but it was back on his face.
"But she forgave you right?" Robbie asked. Oliver saw the visible smile on Robbie's face but he could see in his eyes that Robbie couldn't handle anymore pain for tonight, so he just nodded. "See, she forgave him!" Robbie turned to look at Astra.
Oliver watched them all he could think about was what Kara had said."The worst part was waiting to see if one of your whores were gonna show up at my doorstep or the Queen mansion with a child with her."Those words and many others ran through his mind.
Flashback
POSITIVE.
"Are you sure?" Oliver glanced up at Laurel, the pregnancy stick in his hand, "This could be fake."
Laurel stared at him. They were both naked in her bed, in her dorm. He and Kara had gotten into another silly argument about the wedding. He had stormed out, gotten drunk at a bar, then came to her dorm and they ended up having sex.
"Oliver, this isn't fake..." Laurel told him as she sat up.
"Are you even sure it's mine?" Oliver said. "You're dating Tommy."
"And you're engaged to Kara," she pointed out. "Tommy hasn't touched me in a month."
"Laurel, I'm Tommy's best friend. I can't be getting his girlfriend pregnant!" Oliver got out of her bed.
"Oh yeah? I'm one of Kara's bridesmaids," Laurel said, watching him as he pulled his clothes. "How do you think I feel about this?" she asked him.
Oliver stared at him. "Keep it or get rid of it, I don't care," he finally told her. "I won't be a part of its life."
"What?" Laurel said there was confusion and hurt all of her face. "Oliver you can't –"
"I can't ruin my relationship with Kara, she is the only thing in this world I care about," Oliver said, pulling on his shoes. "I can't lose her."
"You'd rather have her over your own child?" Laurel could feel the tears starting to sting.
"I'm sorry Laurel," he said.
"FUCK YOU OLIVER QUEEN!" She threw a pillow at him as he opened the door, it had hit his head but he didn't do anything but continue to walk out.
End of Flashback
Morning had soon came, Kara woke up in the guest room, the sounds of her kids laughter was the first thing that filled her ears and it made her heart warm, her eyes were a bit heavy after all that crying, she got out of bed going to the front of her apartment, she saw Oliver wearing a mustache made out of whip cream.
She saw three plates sitting at the dining room table, "What's going on here?" Kara asked as a yawn escaped her mouth.
"Dad made breakfast!" Tommy beamed.
Kara nodded, she saw Oliver's smile go up more at the word 'dad', she let out a sigh. "And making a mess on my floor," she said, seeing the whip cream mustache start to drip onto her floor.
"Sorry," Oliver quickly replied, grabbing a napkin wiping his face before grabbing another one and cleaning it off the floor, he saw the time on his watch while cleaning.
He couldn't put any more time off. He had Hood business to handle. He stood up throwing both napkins away, "I have to go now," this made the twins frown.
"Do you really?" Astra asked in a small voice.
"Yeah," Oliver sighed, not liking the sad looks on their faces. "But I'll be back as soon as I can," he promised.
—
A/N: So originally planned for this to be a longer chapter combined with the rest of the episodes, but change of happy are we about Tommy and Kara's date or Kara going off on Oliver like that or Laurel getting pregnant by Oliver?
