Oliver dropped the helmet and walked away. He was not going to deal with this right now. He was sure Kara had no idea of that nonsense because if she had, she would never allow it. Better than anyone, he knew how this life was dangerous, and not for everybody and everyone he let join him, it was for a very good reason, after a lot of training. The way James fought showed him that he was not ready and had no idea what he was doing. If he was not careful, he would get himself killed. He would have to tell Kara or Oliver would make him and if that was the case, well... Oliver was pretty excited to see the outcome.

After delivering the gang to the police, Supergirl and Green Arrow came back to Kara's apartment. It was just the two of them now, Alex had left a note saying they cleaned the rest of the things and they would see the two of them tomorrow since they were all tired. Kara smiled to herself as she remembered how they all got along with Oliver, as she expected they would, except for James, sure. She could feel the jealousy in his voice, in his looks... And she couldn't care less. She cared for him, she knew she always would, but he was making things hard for her and she decided not to let it affect her, not now that her life was so perfect. Kara changed into her pajamas and Oliver just wore his favorite shorts, no shirt on as Kara enjoyed so much. She loved shirtless Oliver and she was not even sorry. Oliver was quiet that night so Kara approached him, taking his hands with hers and pulling him closer.

- Is everything ok? – She looked at him, searching for answers in his deep blue eyes that were as dark as ever

- Everything's perfect – He said in a serious face as he embraced her waist strongly. – You are perfect – He completed taking a few steps making her walk backwards 'til her back hit the wall. He pressed his full body against hers as he leaned his face in, his lips inches apart of hers.

They looked at each other just smiling. Kara lifted her hand caressing his cheek affectionately. She could not believe that this man was real. And that she was lucky enough to have him in her life. He gave her chills just by looking at her, good chills and he brought a side of her she never knew she had it. She knew she brought light inside him as well, he said that to her a hundred times. With him, she was never scared of trying new things; she was never scared of showing him how much she loved him. Oliver brought her face closer to his, his forehead on hers as his hand caressed her golden locks.

- This was the best day of my life – He said looking intensely at her eyes – I love you so much, you have no idea... I feel so lucky...

- Why? – She asked him feeling his warm breath against hers

- Because you saved me, you brought the light back to my life and made me see what true love feels like. I'm starting to forgive myself because you gave me strength for it; I never thought this was possible.

- I know it's possible, and I'm glad to know you are healing inside – She whispered as she whipped a single tear from his eyes – I'm so proud of you Ollie...

- Not as much as I am of you. – He smiled, caressing her cheeks and chin. – You inspire me to be a better person, a better superhero. I look at all the things you accomplished here in your Earth and I cannot feel more proud of you. I love you – He said kissing her slowly this time.

- I love you too. – She kissed him back - And I need you to know that I believe in you Ollie. You were already a better person before we got together. – She gave him one more kiss and smiled – And you know how to drive a woman crazy, so there's that...

They laughed as they went to the bathroom. Kara closed the door behind her, walking towards Oliver and they had a few entertaining hours in the shower.

Oliver had zero strength inside him after all that Kara did to him, so they just finished their shower cleaning each other. They both wrapped white towels around their bodies and stepped out the bathroom. Kara was drying her hair with another towel when she bumped into Oliver that stood still in the corridor next to the living room.

- Hello Mrs. Danvers – Oliver said startled as he looked to Kara's mom looking at them in shock.

- Hey mom – Kara said brightly but blushing furiously.

- Hey you two – Eliza said shaking her head to get out of the numbness she was feeling right now.

- I... Better put some clothes on – He said walking to Kara's bedroom

- I agree – Eliza looked at Kara with questioning looks

- What? – Kara said innocently super speeding to put some clothes on and coming back in a second.

Eliza took a deep breath and sat on the couch next to Kara.

- Kara just please tell me you are being careful... - She said in whisper

- Eliza... - Kara said blushing again – Of course I am... I trust Oliver, and I know you just met him, but you will love him.

- I'm sure I will, honey... But you know what I meant...

- Oh... - Kara looked away, flushed and then looked back at Eliza – You... You don't have to worry... The only way Oliver and I could have a kid someday, not that we plan to right now, but you now...

- Honey...

- Sorry... Well, you know humans and kryptonians can't have kids, we have different genetics, I also can't get sick and he can't get anything from me since I can't get sick, so... No worries here – She smiled, pressing Eliza's hands in hers

- Forgive me Kara, sometimes I forget you are a full grown up, and that some things are different with you...

- I appreciate it – She hugged Kara – It makes me feel less an outsider.

- You are not an outsider.

- You know what I meant... I'm not human. But I like to feel I am sometimes, and you caring and worrying about me, it helps.

- Well... Tell me about this Oliver Queen – Eliza smiled sincerely as Oliver came back to the living room, fully clothed in jeans and a green t-shirt.

Oliver greeted Eliza by shaking her hand and they all sat in the couch.

- Sorry about earlier Mrs. Danvers – He said reaching his hand out for her – I'm Oliver Queen, the guy who loves your daughter more than anything.

Eliza smiled hearing that. It was direct and honest. She couldn't help but feel happy for Kara, even with the awkwardness from earlier. It was nice to see she found love, was happy and could be herself without having to lie or hide. She heard about the man also being a super hero in his universe and was curious to hear more about it.

- Please, call me Eliza. And it's ok Oliver. I'm happy to know you love my daughter and make her happy. I always prayed for her to meet someone who she could trust and be herself with. I heard stories about your universe and you being a super hero called the Green Arrow. Kara told me the first part, the Green Arrow part I saw on the news when you helped Supergirl against Roulette.

- Yes, it's true... Back on my Earth I have a team of super heroes that helps me protect my city. We have two more teams, one in a place called Central City and another team called Legends. They travel through time protecting the timeline and the universe.

- Barry, the friend I told you about, that can run as fast as I do, is from Central City. He has an awesome team that helps him as well. It's a bunch of people saving the world. Oliver trained him. – She said it proudly, making Oliver smile.

Eliza was impressed. When she heard about him, she thought it was someone like the Guardian that showed up in National City a few weeks ago, just trying to help the big guys to do the right thing. They talked about Oliver starting this saving the world thing and inspiring others. He just reached the surface of his past, not feeling the need to go deep his darkest secrets. Kara knowing them was good enough. Eliza felt like Kara has found the right person by everything they were talking about. If he was a good inspiration to others and Kara trusted him, so did her.

Kara felt such a relief after Oliver met her mom. She was afraid something would go wrong, or maybe Eliza wouldn't like Oliver at all, but it was nothing like that. She felt like the luckiest girl in the whole world.

20 days later

Kara was at work while Oliver stayed in the DEO, training with Mon-El. They became really good friends since Oliver arrived in National City. Mon – El was practicing under the effect of led so he could create strength at his weakest moments and it was working. Each time he managed to put a bit more of strength in his movements. The pain was bearable.

- With my planet... Well, it was similar – Mon-El commented as they trained fighting with wooden sticks. Oliver had just told him about Slade's army he had to deal with a few years ago and how this destroyed his city. – It was an ugly war and they sent me here to save me... Is just that... There was nothing I could do to save them, so I decided to star fresh here, with Kara's help of course. She became my mentor since then. I couldn't help save my planet, so I decided I would help save this one.

- Kara has this power of inspiring people. And I'm glad you managed to find a new home and embrace this planet as your own. Is not easy to adapt when you are far away from home.

Mon-El managed to dodge some of Oliver's blasts and with a strike, broke Oliver's wooden piece in half.

- Well done – Oliver said, throwing the thing away – Now let's see your reflexes.

- This pain is making it hard to focus, man

- I know... That's the point. You must see past the pain, find the strength inside you that will help you stand and keep fighting when you need to.

- So... You said you spent 5 years away from home. How it was like to go back?

- Painful. – Oliver said focused on throwing some arrows at Mon-El so he could try to dodge them under so much pain. – I had so much guilt over my past mistakes, and the people I hurt. It was a long process to me. At first, when I started this crusade, I was like a cold blooded killer; I only cared about cleaning the city, no matter how. It was hard to adapt, to be around people, my family was like strangers.

- Sorry to hear that...

Oliver nodded with his head.

- It's ok now. Like I said, Kara has a way of inspiring people and helping them to be a better person and forgive themselves. That's why I love her so much – He said throwing the last arrow he had.

- Yes she does – Mon-El managed to catch the arrow in the air, the dizziness and the pain fading away now. – Hey, it's working – He smiled noticing the change inside him – I don't feel that much pain even with led in my body and my allergies.

- Good. Keep up with the good work, and you will be able to do many things, hardly anything will stop you.

They finished their training and was about to leave the training room when James came in. Oliver looked serious at him, drying his face with a small towel and throwing it away.

- Mon-El please excuse me, I need to have a chat with James

- Sure... - Mon-El looked worried at Oliver and James as he walked away the room. He needed to go to the medical wing anyway so he could get rid of the led on his system.

Oliver reached for James, feeling anger taking over him.

- What do you want from me? – James said in a harsh way and Oliver took no time answering

- You have to tell Kara!

- What? – He crossed his arms on his chest – You act like Robin Hood and thinks you can tell me what to do? How to be a hero?

- STOP! You are NOT a hero! – Oliver said getting closer to him, looking straight into his eyes with a dark fury that scared James a bit, but he stood still.

- I beg your pardon?

- You are not a vigilante. If you were, you would know that the first thing is to be prepared mentally and physically. You can't just run into crime scenes thinking you can take criminals down cause you know how to punch or how to kick. This is way more than this.

- Please enlighten me.

Oliver took a deep breath so he wouldn't do something he regretted later.

- When I was stuck in Lian Yu at first, I also thought I had everything figured out. I thought I was the coolest guy that I could deal with anything. Until the man that first trained me, taught me that if I wanted to survive, I had to learn how to listen. I had to kill to survive, I had to deal with terrorists, bombs, crazy substances that gave people superhuman strength, I had to learn to be patient, to plan, to think cause if I didn't, lives could be lost, and only when you have this weight on your shoulder, you can understand. If you work with partners, people helping you, they have to provide you extra eyes, be careful not to be caught in the line of fire and we have to be able to survive in case they can't help us. Time and time again, I had people wanting to tear my city apart, and threatening me for it. When you have a sword driven into your chest and you fall a precipice and barely survives it, you learn that sometimes you have to play the part, be smart so you can win the fight, otherwise is impossible. Is cute you think yourself as a superhero, but all I see is a guy that puts other lives in danger and is careless. Kara cares about you, you are a dear friend to her, and risking yourself like that without even knowing what the hell you are doing, it doesn't help.

James stood quiet and scratched his ear without knowing what to say. He never heard anyone being so honest about what they thought like that, especially about him. It was like a well deserved slap on his face.

- You want to help? – Oliver said taking one step closer to James, still furious – You want to be a hero? Tell Kara about being the Guardian, start working as a team so you can have backup and stop risking your life and Winn's. I started this alone but I could never do half of it by myself. A team supports each other, gives strength, and helps in the darkest hours. There's no way you can operate alone, only Winn helping you. And I will not lie to Kara, do you understand? So you better tell her or I will.

- Ok... - James said looking at his feet. He was lost of words. Pissed at Oliver, for sure, he annoyed the hell out of him, but deep down he knew that Robin Hood wannabe had a point. – I will tell her... Today.

- Today. And you better hurry. Because I will talk to her about it tonight, just so you know.

Oliver took his towel and got out of the room, leaving James alone. He never was so serious about a promise. It was outrageous what that guy was doing and he felt he needed to do something about it. Ever since he dated Felicity, he learned the hard way that secrets were destructive to any relationship, so he promised himself that he would never again do that to someone he loved. He wouldn't keep things from Kara, so he hoped James really meant it about telling the truth, or things would get ugly.
