The next day came quickly and all the teams spent the day preparing, training, and replaying their entire plan. Barry had to admit he was worried like hell, but could not bring himself to tell the others. They were so confident, and this was important. They could not go into a fight with fear. He had tried to fight Savitar so many times, and so many times he had failed. But now it was different, they had 3 more people with them, two aliens and a badass fighter. The thing that worried him actually, was the fact that their plan included going back to Earth 38 to reach this Phantom Zone thing. It was nuts, many things could go wrong in the only place of the universe that could take Clark and Kara down. But most of them agreed with the plan, so it was going to happen.

They planed to do it at the city limits, near the train station that links Star City with Central City. This way civilians would not be put in danger, it would be only them.

They needed to lure Savitar there, so Barry spoke with Julian Albert, the vessel of Alchemy, if he was up to help them. Since he was fed up of not remembering all the awful things he was doing thanks to this possession thing, Julian agreed to help.

He was in the middle of the station, with open arms, calling for Savitar to take over him again. All of the rest were hidden, in position, suited up and armored. Cisco was ready to open the breach in a corner and Clark and Kara was hiding next to him, ready to fly in.

- C'mon my lord, I need you to inspire me again, so I can serve you as your vessel... - Julian kept saying, still with his open arms, looking to the sky. He was with his habitual "work clothes" since he was not ready for Barry to come in a whoosh in the Central City PD to ask for his help. If it was about getting rid of Savitar and free from Alchemy, he was in, no doubt, but he was really unsure if this whole plan would really work. They had to tell him the whole plan, but they never said that Kara and Clark were from another planet. As long as Julian was concerned, they were just meta-humans from another Earth, really powerful ones.

They waited for a few minutes more before everything went dark and Barry and Wally could see the huge God of Speed came in. He was furious that we was being summoned and furious that Julian was awake and calling for him out of his Alchemy possession.

- Why do you bother me now? – He said with his scary voice that got chills over the spine of half of the heroes there.

- Barry made the signal for Cisco, who opened the breach right behind Savitar. Kara and Clark could see him as well and wasted no time, flying right in the monster's direction. Clark got hold of his arm, as he was taking a small and light object in his hands, while Kara punched his face, making Savitar pass out. Kara went back to the others as Clark flew right into the breach. Thea, Sara, Oliver, Wally, Barry, Alex and Firestorm jumped right after to back Clark up, and Cisco jumped as well, so he could bring everyone back, and the portal was closed.

- Well, that was a piece of cake – Jefferson said while entering Earth 38 behind the others.

- I don't think we should be bragging victory right now, Jefferson – Stein's voice said in Jefferson's head, his white eyes wondering around, cautiously.

A bit far away from them all, Savitar was in a rage, trying to throw Superman away from him. For a moment he managed to free himself and went full on attack him. Superman was throw away but stopped midair, while Barry and Wally ran to help alongside Firestorm.

- I hate to say I told you so, but... - Stein said while Jefferson was focused in throwing fire at Savitar

- Ok, gray... focus now, if you please!

Five Cadmus' agents appeared out of nowhere, and Sarah, Thea, Alex and Oliver ran to battle them. Oliver managed to trap one of them with one of his arrows, and sent another arrow to the guy's left leg. He screamed in rage trying to free himself and Thea came to his aid, giving the guy a kick right in his face, knocking him down. She turned around and shot another agent in his eye, knocking one more out.

Sara was fighting another agent that came over her with all his got. She was kicking and punching, blocking some of his blasts, and suddenly she was grabbed and taken down the floor. Above her was Alex, smiling.

- Now you're welcome – She said rolling on the floor and kicking the agent's knee, knocking him out. She stood up quickly and with Sara, they took the other guy down.

In the meantime, Clark, Barry and Firestorm were fighting Savitar with all they got. Even with Superman at their side, they were having a hard time.

- We need to distract him – Wally said to Barry – The Super there can do his thing. Is our only chance.

- Let's do this – Barry said running to the other side of the street – HEY, OVER HERE!

Savitar ran really fast and started chasing Barry. Barry slowed down and Superman appeared in form of the monster, blowing his freeze breath so hard, Savitar didn't stand a chance. He froze from head to toe, and Superman took advantage of that to grab him and fly up and away fast 'til the rest of the heroes lost the sight of them.

Superman flew higher and higher and took a projection device out of his suit's pockets. It had the symbol of the House of El carved on it. Inside of it was a small disc, that the threw in the air, making a huge portal open, then he pushed a frozen Savitar in with all his strength, and the portal was gone.

Back on the ground, everyone was still looking at the sky, trying to see anything, but it was impossible.

- I hope he manages to get rid of that monster really fast... We cannot wait any longer, there can be more agents coming – Cisco said while looking around, seeing the bodies of the still breathing agents on the ground.

- How the hell they knew we were here anyway? – Sara said, fully aware of her surroundings, preparing to any surprises that might happen

- They must be watching... There are security cameras everywhere now – Alex said. – They are in total control now

- Look, there in the sky – Barry said, pointing

Superman came back flying really fast, and shouted for Cisco to open the breach when he was closer to the ground. Cisco listened the warning and lifted his hand so he could do it.

- Everybody, jump NOW – Clark yelled while flying nonstop through the portal, and everyone followed.

Alex felt something grabbing her foot before entering the portal and kicked hard. It was one of the agents that woke up and jumped at her. She shot him in the shoulder, managing to escape him and entering the portal back to Earth 1 quickly.

Iris was the first to run when she saw them all arriving. She jumped on Barry and kissed him, with tears in her eyes.

- Is over... - Barry said, smiling, also with tears in his eyes – You gave me strength all the time, and now is finally over.

- For real? – Iris said kissing him again

- Yeah... - She let her go and turned to Superman – and big thanks to this guy here... And his crazy cousin with her crazy ideas – He looked at Kara, hugging each one of them.

- Nah... - Kara said laughing – I told you guys it was going to work...

- But almost didn't. Seriously, no more trips to Earth 38 until we are ready and with a plan to take those bastards down! – Oliver said, taking off his hood and mask. – By the way, what happened there Clark? You really scared us.

- What happened? – Kara looked worried at her cousin.

- While I was flying back to the ground, I could hear cars from the distance. Backups for those agents you guys fought... There were plenty of them and things was about to get really ugly from everything I heard. We had seconds to get out of there.

- Agents? You guys were attacked? – Caitlin said covering her mouth with her hands.

- Yes...we barely escaped... - Sara said – But now we need to focus on our next mission: Prometheus.

- And we need to go back to Star City – Oliver said looking at Felicity

- We can all be there. I still have my place and we all can manage something, work something out so we can plan everything – Sara looked at all of them – Is not that many of you, we can work something out...

- Guys, sorry, but after everything, Iris and I need a break. We will meet you guys tomorrow in the Arrow Cave – Barry said holding Iris hands, while Oliver rolled his eyes at the pet name his lair got. Apparently it stuck.

- Cisco and I will grab some stuff and meet you guys later – Caitlin told them as she hugged everyone, relived they were all ok.

- You guys can totally hang in my place, it's big enough – Felicity said smiling at them. Caitlin thanked her and went away with Cisco to Star Labs.

As Barry took of with Iris to his place, Oliver turned to Clark, Kara and Alex

- Well, In front of Thea's and mine's apartment, there is one available. It's furnished and ready to be occupied. I was going to move there next week, but I can still be with Speedy as long as you need the place – he smiled at them and Thea punched his arm then.

- What? You were moving out and not said a word to me? I'm hurt, Ollie – she pretended to be mad.

- I figured that now I'm the Mayor, you would need your own space, but I couldn't be far away, so I bought the apartment right in front of yours.

- Wow... You are the Mayor? That's something... - Kara said surprised, 'cause that was something she did not know at all. – Actually is really nice of you to offer, thank you. – she finished – mr Mayor – she smiled

- Please, I'm still Oliver

- Yep, cranky, grumpy, scary Oliver – Thea said laughing at her brother and he ran after her, playfully, grabbing her by his shoulder while she tried to kick him.

- Some cool and nice friends you have on this Earth, Kara – Clark said looking at her cousin

Amaya, Mick and Nate decided to stay on the Wave Rider. They would let it just outside Arrow Cave, invisible, so they could keep an eye on things, once they get there in Star City. Ray still had his loft, so he invited Stein and Jefferson to crash in with him.

Alex was walking behind them as they got to the city, lost in her thoughts when she felt a presence walking beside her and looked to see Sara looking at her with a funny look.

- Since you saved my life today, let's go have a drink. That's on me – She smiled, not waiting for Alex to answer, grabbing her arm and taking her to the best bar she knew in town.

- Ok... - That's all she could say as they walked.

**

A few hours later Oliver was alone in his lair. They agreed to take the rest of the day off since they had so many surprises and just took down a huge and almost invincible monster. Once he got back to the city, his team let him know all that had happened while he was gone. They managed to take down a few drug dealers, stop a robbery and helped the police with some lunatic criminal. Oliver gave them the day off as well, they deserved. Diggle was spending time with Lyla and his son, and he reassured them all that he would stay at the lair, and would call them if he needed. He would not do it by the way, they deserved some hours off. He would take care of things, if he ever needed to.

He took off his shirt and his shoes, staying just in his blue pants then took one of the bars from the floor and started training alone. He loved to be alone, training and keeping his mind off things for a while, but today he was not able to do it, since so much crazy things were going on. He couldn't help to think that his life was upside down – sort of – but in a good way, and he felt good about it. He thought about his friend Barry and how he was touched by his invitation. He didn't think he deserved all this admiration Barry had for him, but accepted anyway. Oliver felt like he didn't deserve many things in life, but somehow he got blessed every now and then. One of these blessings, he thought, was getting to know such a ray of sunshine that Kara was. Felicity said once how she felt like they were similar, but he thought the differences were so many. Yes, they dressed similar, were blonde, and wore glasses, not that Kara needed, but he understood the disguise. But there was more to Kara than met the eye. She was able to care for others while suffering, even after everything that happened with her, she exhaled innocence and purity. It was impossible to stay mad around her for a long time. And for sure he felt he didn't deserve her friendship, her presence in his life. His life was so full of darkness; he had to do so many things that would terrify her, for sure. She was way too pure and sweet to be around him and all of these things. "Good thing this is a temporary team up, then" – he thought as he kept training, violently.

He took one of his quivers and threw a bunch of tennis balls around the room, throwing arrows at them and hitting them all. Then he heard some clapping and looked around, only to see Kara herself standing smiling at him, in her new casual clothes: a white shirt with an open grey sweater over it, a colorful and rounded skirt that got above her knees and a white sneaker and her hair was in low ponytail with a braid wrap.

- Amazing reflexes! – she said looking around the place – Wow this place is really cool...Now I can properly pay attention, since I'm not fainting or anything – she adjusted her glasses, trying to make a joke. She felt really nervous suddenly.

Oliver smiled putting his equipment aside, while grabbing a towel to dry his sweating face.

- Gotta stay focused and prepared if we are going to fight Prometheus... - He said drying his face and throwing the towel aside as well. He walked over Kara that stood beside the huge table with all the computers, and took the bottle of water that he left there. He took a sip and smiled at her, putting the bottle down again.

- You know we just fought a God... Like, a real God... And won...

- And we cannot take things for granted 'cause of that – he said, sitting on a chair, Kara sitting next to him. – That's what kept me alive for all these years.

- I am sure it has... - she lowered her head and looked to the ground. Oliver never took his eyes from her, and somehow it made her even more nervous. She almost forgot why she came to his lair. She looked at him with her bright eyes – I... I just wanted to thank you, for everything. It was really nice of you, not just today, but... Since I got here...

- It was nothing anyone else wouldn't do. Believe me, I'm not that nice... - He left a small laugh come out his mouth

- But you are. Barry told me once, about you having this dark past... I told you once and I tell you now again: hardships make us stronger. Made you strong. Is not a shame to have a dark past, even I have one...

- No way... - he looked at her not believing for once what she said, trying not to laugh

- Ok not that dark – She said laughing, making him laugh too – But I've done some bad stuff... Even if it was the red kryptonite, I found out how evil and a destroyer I can be if I was any different, like evil different. I'm telling you, the world would be damned if I was not a good person – she winked at him, joking, making him laugh

**

In the meantime, Alex and Sara were still on the bar, having a few drinks, Alex trying not to drink too much tonight. Her goal was to stay sober. Or try to.

- So... Tell me what made you so furious the other day – Sara smiled at her – I can recognize pain when I see one.

- I don't...

- C'mon – Sara held her hand – Sometimes it helps... To talk about it

Alex took a deep breath, trying to ignore Sara's hand on hers, and gave this a thought. It was about time for her to let her demons out anyway. She looked at Sara and gave her a sad smile.

- Heartbreak

- Hmm... And how did you get your heart broken?

- You say like it happens to you all the time – Alex said

- Well it does, but I want to hear your story...

Alex started telling Sara about how she met Maggie, this beautiful cop from her Earth, and how she helped her realized about who se really was, and how she truly felt. Sara kept listening while looking deep in her eyes.

- So she had just met me, told me all of those things and just when I started to fall for her, she told me it was one sided... I was so hurt... Then she decided she liked me, and we started seeing each other almost everyday. But every time it was like she was regretting to be with me, and the next day she would love me again... I couldn't take it anymore. We had this huge fight, and then she got hurt when she went after some bad guys. She almost died. I was in the hospital when she wake up, and she told me she was glad to see me, that she loved me. She actually said "I love you" and kissed me. The next day I found out she was leaving town, and she never had the gut to tell me. She never even said goodbye. I felt like shit. That was when I decided to focus on taking Cadmus down, that I had enough of distractions. – Alex took the last sip of her beer, avoiding looking at Sara. She started regretting telling everything to her, the last thing she needed was a pity party.

Sara stood there quiet for a while, looking at the counter where Alex left her empty bottle. The she looked at Alex, and rested a hand over her shoulder

- It seems to me this person have a serious case of attachment phobia. You don't need this in your life. She was an ass to play with your feelings like that, and you need to know how to have fun and enjoy life even at your lowest, cause that's when we learn how to pick ourselves up and move on before is really too late.

- And you seem to know a lot about it. – She looked at Sara curious, but thankful not to hear the usual people loved to say in these situations. She could not handle that right now and Sara seemed to understand that better than anyone else

- I happen to know a lot about picking yourself up when you're down. You see, I was a cold blooded assassin before all of this Legends stuff... - She smiled at Alex's expression. Everybody reacted that way. Not that she says that to everybody, but still... – I had plenty of heartbreaks and then I died and came back to life with no soul, just with this thirst for killing people. When I got my soul back, I felt lost. I started traveling the world, feeling like shit. A real mess. There was no future, no job, no life, and no hope for me... Then this weird guy came out of nowhere, asking me to come with him, he had a mission to save the world, and become a legend. Of course he was lying about the legend part; he actually needed a bunch of nobody's that would not be missed. But then I decided I wouldn't let that jerk tell what I was going to be, that I would be no "nobody", and if I was alive again, it was for some reason, and I found it. I was meant to lead a bunch of crazy, but skillful, people and protect the world.

Alex felt sorry for Sara after hearing her story, but at the same time, found a new admiration for the woman. She literally had been through hell, and did not let this stop her living her life and enjoying it.

- You know what's your calling – Sara finished taking her hand with hers

- I know... I'm just...

- I know, poor child – she hugged Alex, messing with her – You were not prepared for having to come out and having your heart smashed like this at the same time... There's nothing a good night of fun can't cure – she blinked at Alex that smiled back – Come with me child, I'll show you how to have a good time, even if you feel a mess... This will pass, and you will be laughing hard in the morning.

Sara took Alex to the dance floor and Alex noticed how much she enjoyed to dance around, like there was no tomorrow. Alex was not the type that started dancing out of nowhere so for sure the beer helped. She was loosened up in a second, dancing close to Sara. Only now she noticed how charming the lady was. She was with dark leathered pants, black heels not that high and a black and white tank top that showed a small part of her cleavage. Her hair was all wavy and loosened up. Sara smiled at Alex, putting both hands on her waist and pulling her closer. Alex's hands went up Sara's shoulders and Sara took advantage of this to put one of her hands in her back, going up her spine 'til her neck. She caressed Alex's neck, bringing her lips slowly closer to Alex's, giving her a small smile before finally touching Alex's lips with hers.

Both of them kissed each other, lost in the dance floor while others danced wildly around them. Alex's heart was almost jumping out of her chest as she was taken by surprise, but really enjoying the moment. Their breaths become accelerated, as their hands traveled each other's bodies. Suddenly the place was way hotter than was before. Sara slightly bit Alex's lips that smiled back at her, taking some air while her forehead rested on Sara's.

- I think...we need to get out of here... My place – Sara said breathing fast.

- Couldn't agree more – Alex said turning Sara over and hugging her from behind while whispering in her ear – lead the way. – Alex was not recognizing herself, and she couldn't care less.

Kara watched as Oliver finished his training, going up some weird iron thing like it was nothing, but she knew he was putting all his strength on it. It looked really difficult. He stopped in the middle of it and jumped to the floor, lying on the ground exhausted. He took a deep breath, and got up, going for the towel again but not finding it.

- Here... You almost threw it on my face the last time – she laughed, throwing the towel at him as she stepped closer.

- Thanks... And sorry for that – he smiled and started drying his face again

Only now, Kara could notice all the scars Oliver had. He was covered in them and she thought it was almost impossible for a human being to have survived all of that, they seemed brutal. She remember Barry telling her that Oliver got through really though times, and judging by those scars and what Oliver said about his darkness, she was starting to understand better. She thought it was really hard, to have suffered so much. Still, he managed to protect his city and do the right thing... In a scary and violent way she agreed, but still...

- Oliver... - She started, not even noticing how closer she was to him, still staring in shock at all of those scars.

Oliver looked at her and did not move, frightened, still holding the towel. He reached to his side and took his shirt that was hanging in a chair next to him. He put on his shirt.

- Sorry, you shouldn't have seen that – he said looking down, then up to her again – Is not something people react well – he was serious now, scary serious.

- Is part of who you are – Kara said putting one hand in his arm – You should not be ashamed of it, you should be proud. Yes, is terrifying – she said noticing the sad look on his face – but – she caressed his cheek, making him turn his head up – is a good terrifying... If that expression even exists – she smiled, making him smile again.

- I believe it doesn't – he said looking deep in her eyes. He could see now how beautiful she really was, and it was so hard to believe that the cute person in front of him could hold his entire house with one hand if she wanted to, and it was still amazing.

- What I meant... - she said suddenly blushing and holding her own hands in front of her. Rao, what she was thinking touching him like that... Focus Kara, she thought – was that was terrifying to think about someone having all that suffering in life, having to deal with so much pain, cause no one should, you shouldn't. But it made you who you are, and you still find the strength to go out everyday and fight for what you believe... Is... Impressive.

He found really funny that she was able to do all of those amazing things, and was impressed by him. He could not hold back any longer, not even if he wanted to, which was not the case. "Consequences be damned" – he thought.

- I'm not finding the strength right now to fight this – he said while his hands got gently to her face as he brought her lips to his, kissing her softly.

He saw as a good sign that she did not punch him, or flew away, she could have done that. He was still kissing her, holding her by the waist while her hands were in his chest, as she kissed him back. One of his hand got to her soft hair as one of hers went up to his neck, caressing him there, granting his tongue permission to explore hers. He started walking slowly with her walking backwards, 'til her back touched one of the pillars from the lair.

Kara was not expecting this, but she felt the need to kiss him back. She knew why she was so nervous around him, why she blushed often when she spoke to him or noticed the way he looked at her. Yes she was starting to admire him for the hero he was, and looking past that scary and intimidating surface, seeing the beautiful persona he was inside. She never met anyone like that before, but she was starting to feel things she did not want to. But just as he said he couldn't fight it, well, she felt the same. By the look of his face when she said the word "terrifying", he might've thought she would feel scared, or disgusted at least, of his scars, but all she felt was pride. Not many could survive all he did and still want to do good in the world. And it helped that he was an amazing kisser. Not that she had many experience in that department, but it felt really good. She thought she was going really crazy when she realized what she was doing. Her hand was holding the bottom of his shirt and she was lifting it up. She felt her cheek warm up really fast and she knew she was more read than a tomato. She broke apart from him so he could take the shirt off of his head, and he let it fall on the ground, looking curious at her, still holding her by the waist.

- What... - He started, but was interrupted by Kara, putting one finger in his lips, shutting him up.

- Never hide your scars... Not from me, there's nothing to be ashamed of – She said with the cutest expression he had ever seen, and with a smile so bright he thought it was capable of lighten up the whole room.

He was screwed, and he knew it.

He kissed her again, unable to say anything else. Even thought she was ten times stronger than him, he was holding her as she could break at any moment. He caressed her hair, finding out he loved it.

Kara was feeling her heart race little by little. She had to keep in mind that one wrong move from her, and she could really hurt him. It was the last thing she wanted right now, so she had to be careful, but it was getting really hard to think about it in his arms, with his kisses. Who would knew that he could be so gentle and caring like this? She kept kissing him back. They broke the kiss apart for some air, just smiling at each other, without knowing anything to say. Kara looked at him with an excited expression that got him curious.

- Want to see a cool trick? – She said, with her hands on his neck while he still held her by the waist

- Always – he smiled at her, still curious. What could she possible do now to let him more in awe for her than he already was?

Kara brought her lips closer to his ear, and blew slightly her cold breath. If she did not control it right, she could freeze him to death, but she was really determined. Every time she learned something new, she got excited to show people she cares about, but she never got to show her trick to anyone. She was embarrassed to think she used to train it in her own arm. She was glad it came on handy. Oliver closed his eyes as Kara gave a small kiss next to his ear. The cold freeze mixed with her warm lips caused a small shock down his neck and spine, and he suddenly opened his eyes, smiling at her with a funny face.

- Wow... That was... Something - He got his answer, he thought, not able to describe what all of that was doing to him. He was beyond screwed by now.

- I'm full of surprises – she smiled

- I can see that – he said, kissing her back, this time more passionate, holding her tightly against his body.

Kara was feeling her nervousness slipping sway slowly of her. She suddenly stopped the kiss, looking worried around. Oliver looked at her confused

- Is there something wrong?

- Wait...

She looked up just in time to see a piece of the ceiling of the lair falling down at them. She gave an impulse, floating above and holding the piece of concrete with her hands. Oliver jumped back while she flew in, looking at the scene, and then around him, startled. First he got to get over the fact that the woman he was just kissing was able to stand floating in the air with a piece of his ceiling in her hands like it was a piece of paper. Second of all, he needed to find out what the hell did just happen.

- I guess is a good thing you came visit – He said to her, still startled, trying to understand it all.

She smiled at him and flew out of there, coming back quickly, empty handed. Oliver took his cell phone and dialed Cisco.

- Team, lair. NOW. – He said fast and then hung up.
