Kara was concentrated on the story she was working on. Her boss was a jerk and was making her feel mad because he felt the need to scream to her in front of everyone. She told him some truth, in a polite, but angry way and now was focusing in getting it right when James called her in his room.

- James, can't this wait? I'm almost done and...

- I'm the Guardian – He told her suddenly

- The...WHAT? – She said in a loud voice, closing the door behind her and walking towards him. – YOU ARE WHAT?

- I'm the new vigilante called the Guardian... Winn has been helping me

Kara felt like she was punched really hard and had to stop to think about it. She was definitely not expecting it.

- What ...Winn? – Kara's head was spinning. How could he do this? How could he put himself in danger without being prepared, thinking he was a super hero as well and bringing Winn into this? – Are you crazy?

- Why? Why can't I be a super hero? Everyone is, even this Oliver Queen...

- Please James. Not everyone is. And Oliver's been doing this for 6 years; he's been through a lot before fighting crime as he does today. And I'm talking about you.

- I just felt the need of doing something greater...

- And put yourself and others at risk? And Winn knew it? He was helping you? And I've heard he almost died in a mission; it was your mission wasn't it?

- Yes, but...

- No James... Sorry. I can't be ok with this. And you felt the need to hide this from me, why?

- I guess your reaction answers this.

- I guess I have the right to react this way since I've been lied to from the beginning.

Kara could not believe it. It was not possible James was handling it as a joke. Saving the world, making sacrifices wasn't a joke, it was serious. Lives depended on her actions and to be prepared was always important. Training with Oliver helped her think more before acting on something and this was something James needed to learn, but it wasn't going to be her to teach him.

- By the way, I don't know why you are being such a jerk to Oliver and to the fact that he is my boyfriend. – She crossed her arms on her chest – I liked you and you played with my feelings while you were still with Lucy. After that, you turned me down... Thanks to that, it made me see it was not what I really wanted, that I never loved you like that. It made me see you were just a friend to me. You don't get to ruin everything for me now that I found someone that really loves me, with no reservations. And I love him. I don't care if you don't like him, or if you envy him or something, because it feels like it, I just don't care. But you will respect me, and respect who I choose to date. You don't own me, I'm not yours. You had your chance, and you missed it. I've moved on and I suggest you do the same.

Kara hated this situation, but she couldn't just keep quiet like that. She never mentioned it but yes, she felt hurt when everything with Lucy happened, and even so she did her best to be a nice person and support her friends, even if it broke her heart inside. She just expected James to do the same, if he was indeed her friend.

- Kara...I'm sorry...

- I know you are. And it took a lot for me to tell you all of this, because I care for you, and I used to think you were my friend...

- I still am, Kara. – James said pleading with his voice

- I'm not sure about that anymore... I... I have to go

Kara left James alone, holding back her tears. She felt really hurt that she was lied to about something as big as this. She felt responsible for the city safety, for all people's lives. It was a reckless thing James was doing.

She went back to the DEO and stormed in looking for Winn.

- Winn! WINN, WHERE ARE YOU! – She said in a loud voice, causing everyone to look at her. Winn came in a hurry, worried about Kara's tone

- Here... What happened?

Kara walked towards him and held him slightly by the shoulders with a pleading look in her eyes.

- I need you to promise me you won't help the Guardian anymore and stop this nonsense before you or someone else gets hurt, including him.

- Why me? I don't...

- Don't lie to me, I know you help James! Yes, he told me. – She added noticing the startled look in his face.

Winn sat down on his chair, still shocked.

- So... You know?

- And do not approve. I had a chat with him about this. This is not ok.

- I tried to tell him this, but he insisted.

- I appreciate it Winn, but it was wrong. He is not ready to do something like this... You know how much I believe in people, I believe in him... But I cannot risk his safety or yours, when he is clearly not ready.

- I... I will talk to him ok? – He said to her and she smiled

- Thank you.

Later that day, J'onn heard about the Guardian being James and was also pissed of. He forbade everyone from DEO to help him for the same reasons Kara did not approve. He could not put any more lives in danger. That's what the DEO was for, and it would stay that way.

The night had fallen and James stopped by to see Kara and Winn. He told them he was going back to Metropolis to figure some things out, since he was clearly feeling lost and had no idea what to do with his life.

- You don't have to go... - Kara said – I only said all of that to you because I care. It does not mean you have to leave.

- But I have to. I have to find myself again, to make sense with my life. I feel lost here, Kara. And sorry again for lying to you. I didn't mean to hurt you.

- I know. And I forgive you. And it's ok. I get it – She smiled at him – I hope you find what you're looking for – She hugged him and they said their goodbyes.

Oliver was with an old grey shirt and black shorts; lay down on Kara's bed with her by his side, her head pressed on his shoulder as she hugged him affectionately.

- Do you think I was too harsh with him?

- By what you told me, I think you did the right thing. You followed your heart. And babe – He looked at her, caressing her cheeks – Sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

- Its ok, I understand. You thought it was better for him to tell me and not for me to find it by someone else.

- Exactly

- I appreciate it – She smiled back at him – I know James and I aren't on the best terms, but I'll always care for him... He's my friend... I guess, at least he was... I don't want to find out he got himself killed or something like that, and the reasons he was doing it... It was not right. Is a terrible thing to feel lost but is not the thing that will make someone try to be a hero.

- No it's not. – He agreed with her

- When I first started, I did it because I was missing something in my life and I didn't know what it was, I know it. But I had all these powers and when I saved that plane, it felt right. Like I was given those powers for a good reason. And I finally found what was missing.

- Babe you don't have to justify why you do what you do, why you are a kind and wonderful person, why you have such a big heart, because of James. He needs to find his own reasons, not just because others do it and he wants to be part of the club... This is not a joke.

- My thoughts exactly – She looked at him, smiling brightly and making him smile as well.

- What?

Kara smiled, with a look Oliver knew way too well.

- Well... - She rolled on her side, facing him – I just noticed that you came here for vacation and the last thing you did was to relax.

- That's ok, I'm with you and that is way better than anything. Just to be able to hold you, kiss you and love you, it makes happier than any other vacation could.

Kara felt warmth in her heart as she gave him a small kiss.

- I love you for that, but seriously... We need a weekend off. I can fly us to a really nice resort not so far away. Mrs. Grant gave me double tickets to it for a whole weekend, all wonderful things included. I never thought I would want to use it until now... So... What do you say?

- Well, this is tempting. – He said thoughtful – Like I said, as long as I'm with you, I'm happy, so it's a yes.

- YES! – She said excitedly, making him laugh as she kissed again – We leave in the morning. And no suits allowed.

- The world will survive one weekend without Supergirl – He smiled at her

- And the Green Arrow – She said as she kissed him

Kara and Oliver arrived early on the resort. It was a beautiful place, full of cabins across the place. They took one by the lake, next to a beautiful waterfall. Kara loved waterfalls; she found them relaxing and peaceful. She loved nature itself, to be surrounded by green and animals, even the small ones. Oliver was more of a city guy, he felt he had his share of nature for an entire life, but he enjoyed the view and the place just fine. It started to rain after lunch so they ran back to their cabin, soaked from head to toe.

They laughed hard as they entered the place that had a bedroom, bathroom and a small space that served as living room and kitchen at the same time. The bedroom had a huge bed and wardrobe right in front of the bed with a huge mirror in its doors

Oliver was holding Kara's hand and with a fast movement, he brought her closer to him.

- I think we need to get rid of these wet clothes... I know you don't get sick, but I do – He smiled at her suggestively as she nodded with her head.

- I agree with you... You can get sick, and no one wants that – She said turning around and taking her shirt and bra off, her pants and panties coming off next. She looked over her shoulder, giggling at him.

Oliver took his clothes off as well, not taking his eyes off Kara's back. His heart raced as he looked at her from head to toe. He approached her and turned her to face him with his hands on her waist, squeezing it tight. She wasted no time in kissing him lustfully, her tongue fighting his for dominance. The air was heavy and really hot and the electricity running between them was out of this world. Neither felt like taking their time, slowly as they used to enjoy each other, the need they felt was too much.

Oliver felt lucky.

She rescued him from darkness without even knowing it and he was determined to thank her in every possible way he could find. He lay beside her, on his side, looking intensely at her eyes.

- I love you. - He said.

Kara heard the sunset in that place was beautiful, and Kara wanted to see it with Oliver so she brought him to a gazebo on the top of a hill. It was not far from their cabin, so they got there just in time. There was only the two of them watching that beautiful display of nature. Oliver hugged Kara from behind as they watched the sunset together, smiling at each other.

Oliver kissed Kara as she turned to face him. He took a deep breath with a glow from the sun light reflecting on his eyes. Kara looked at him like it was the second most beautiful sight she had in life, the first one being that beautiful Sunset.

- I'll be forever grateful for having you in my life, you know it. – He said, holding her hands, interlacing his fingers with hers. – I've been through hell in my life, I've know so much sadness and lost... I have faced the devil itself and I never imagined I would find happiness again. I also had a few good moments in my life, but no moment compares to this. Nothing compares to you. And much of whom I am today, it's cause of you.

Kara looked at him with tears wanting to fall down her eyes.

- I already told you Ollie, you already had that light, that goodness inside you...

- Yes but you inspired me to be better. A better man, a better brother, a better hero. This time we've been apart, it was like hell for me.

- It was hell for me too. I can't imagine my life without you anymore.

- And neither do I. – Oliver went down on his knees – And I guess this is the perfect place and the perfect moment for me to ask you this...

Kara looked at him, startled. Oliver took a small velvet box from his pocket and showed her, opening slowly.

- This ring is in my family for ages. And my mom once told me I would find an amazing woman that I would love for the rest of my life, so she knew I would need it. And she was right... God, I wish she could be here... Get to know you – He lowered his hand, taking a deep breath and looking back at Kara.

She understood how hard it must have been to him. She caressed his cheek with one hand, in silence.

- Well, I know she must be watching, so... Kara Danvers, will you make me the happiest man alive by marrying me?

- Yes! – She said, kneeling on the floor with him, hugging him by his waist and kissing him as passionately as she could – One hundred times yes. I love you so much and yes I want to spend the rest of my life saving the world beside you and loving you.

They kissed, tears falling from their eyes as they embraced each other, never letting go as the night came in. Oliver finally felt like a happy and normal guy, no guilt, no darkness, no heavy weight to carry on his shoulders. And he couldn't wait for the rest of his life, by her side.

THE END
