*Notes by the end of this chapter.

.

Kara went inside the restaurant like a hurricane at the same time Diggle noticed the movement inside the restaurant and joined her. She punched the guy Oliver was fighting at super speed and reached for the gun the 4th guy aimed at Oliver's back and ripped it from his hand, destroying it. Diggle jumped to fight the guy that stabbed Oliver and Kara took the advantage to punch the guy and he flew across the room, hitting his back on the counter before falling unconscious on the cold floor. She stopped and saw Oliver and Diggle fighting the guy that stabbed him. Helena was busy fighting the Salvati guy. Kara helped Oliver and Diggle knock their attacker out and Salvati smiled wickedly.

- I came prepared, alien! – He said and Kara didn't have time to anything as she got shot with 2 green bullets on her right shoulder.

Oh the pain.

She started feeling her veins burning as they became bright green on her skin. She tried to catch her breath, and another bullet hit her hip, making her lose her balance and fall on the floor. She crawled forward and grabbed the foot of a table, trying her best to get up. Oliver managed to dominate Salvati, kicking the gun from his hand as he grabbed the guy by his collar, closing his fists and using all the strength he had to break the guy's nose and jaw as he hit the guy's face on the edge of the table, throwing him to the ground afterwards. Helena shot 2 of the men Kara punched before on their legs and turned to check on Kara and Oliver, worried as she pointed her gun to Salvati.

- Helena... don't kill him... - Oliver said, feeling the sharp pain on his back – You won't forgive yourself... - He said, reaching for Kara to help her get up.

- I need to. You don't understand – Helena said, her eyes filled with tears

- You don't need to do this. Let him... pay the...right way – Kara said managing to slowly stand up as she held Oliver's hand.

They heard sirens from the distance and Kara stared at Oliver and Diggle.

- We need... to go. – She turned to Helena – You'll get arrested...Don't do this. We need to go, now!

Helena shot Salvati on his foot and just ran away. Kara used the little strength she had left to use her heat vision on security cameras and burned them. Diggle helped Oliver get Kara out to the car quickly and they managed to escape before the police could get them. They knew Kara was in no condition of flying and taking them with her.

Oliver managed to get two bullets out of her shoulder still on the car and as soon as they got to the bunker, Oliver lay Kara down on the table, and helped her to get rid of the bullet on her hips. She slowly sat down, taking deep breaths while Oliver got rid of the kryptonite. Little by little, Kara felt the pain fading away.

- Thanks. I'll be fine... I need Sunlight to fully recover so it will take a while, but see? – She showed the scar on her shoulder healing, the same for her hips.

- Impressive! – Diggle said.

- Now, let's take care of you – Kara said as she got up from the table, trying to take a look at Oliver's back.

- It's ok... I have this...

- Oliver, don't be stubborn. – Diggle said

Diggle grabbed everything he needed to clean Oliver's wound to stop the bleeding while Oliver got rid of his shirt, and gave him a few stitches.

Kara and Oliver stood in silence while Diggle helped Oliver. It was an awkward silence and Diggle started to feel really uncomfortable. He patched Oliver up and told them he was going to check if the men got arrested, but all he wanted was an excuse to stay as far away as possible from them. He knew Oliver's look way too well and was starting to know Kara's as well, to know things were about to get tense.

He kept wondering why both his friends were so stubborn.

- You should have given me the signal before things got ugly – Kara said as she crossed her arms on her chest, finally saying something.

- I couldn't...

- Why? You know I could handle it.

- That's not it.

- So what is it? Because I see no reason to waste time flirting with the person who shot your mother and wants to kill her dad instead of warning me to go there, I could have given you some back up...

- Kara, that's not it.

Oliver said, taking a few deep breaths as he sat on the table, his hands running through his face. He opened his eyes and stared back at Kara. H noticed some different vibe coming from Kara. He wasn't sure, but he could swear she sounded... jealous?

- The plan was to make Helena trust me enough to listen and not kill her dad, to show her there was another way of getting justice because I know what taking a life can do to someone's soul and I don't wish that on anybody, no matter who. I had hopes that she would listen, accept my help... We could help her bring her dad down.

- Why didn't you tell me to help as soon as the fight started?

- Because I was afraid they could hurt you...

- Oliver...

- Kara, you're not invincible. Remember how I found out that Kara Danvers was Supergirl? I find out a lot about your weakness, even before you told me.

Oliver got up and walked slowly towards Kara. He felt a bit tired and he felt sore in many places, but he couldn't care less. He didn't want her to have any wrong ideas about him or his actions.

- Bertinelli had closed a few questionable deals in Metropolis, and I learned that your cousin stopped him. His friends weren't too happy about it. You've been showing up in StarCity, where they're trying to take over the criminal world and are at war with the Triad thanks to Helena's interference and I was afraid they would try to hurt you. I had to make sure it was safe for you to help, because I didn't want to risk your life. You are strong, you are brave – He said as he took slow steps to her until they stood face to face, really close – You are capable of wonderful and amazing things, but there's still one thing on this Earth that can kill you, and I couldn't risk it. When I face uncertain situations, I like to make sure nothing can go wrong so, I'm sorry if I scared you or if I made you feel angry, but I would never involve you in anything dangerous before knowing for sure it was safe. And you saw what happened. They had kryptonite bullets, they were prepared and you got shot not just once but 3 times.

- As much as I appreciate your concern and care, this isn't my first time dealing with kryptonite, Oliver. Yes, it hurts a lot. It's the worst feeling in the entire world, but I'll be fine. It takes a while, but I'll be ok. I couldn't just risk you dying to protect me.

It was Kara's turn to take one step forward. She had a ferocious confident look in her eyes. If there's one thing she knew by now, even if she was indeed new as a super hero, is that she couldn't let fear take over her. Lives depended on her to be able to face whatever came towards her, and she would gladly do it.

- I don't bend or break to anyone, I don't hide in fear, I'm Supergirl and if I need to risk taking a kryptonite bullet to keep people safe, I will. Any day!

Oliver looked admired at her, taking in every single word she said. He could see she was fierce and a powerful force of nature the minute he met her. That stare of confidence she had made him feel even more attracted to her, like a magnet.

He gave her a soft smile, nodding with his head.

- Thank you... – Oliver gave her a soft smile she never had seen on him before.

Kara was caught by surprise. She was hoping he would just keep arguing with her, but that never happened. She noticed he had this proud look on his face and she smiled back at him.

- I... should go... You'll be ok? – Kara said, noticing he had new bruised on his abs and chests, thanks to Salvati

- Now I will. – Oliver said as Kara took a few steps behind and slowly turned around to leave.

Oliver took a really deep breath, not knowing for how much longer he would be able to keep doing this.

Oliver went back home for the night. He needed a warm shower and rest so that's what he did. After a while he came out of his bathroom only with black pants on, his hair still wet. He stopped in front of the mirror and saw the new bruises Kara probably noticed before.

He heard a noise and turned around, seeing Kara, still in her Supergirl suit, lading on his balcony. She blushed at the sight of him and stood there, just staring.

- I didn't feel like going back to the hotel ... - She said – I remembered I've never asked... - She stared at his scars on his torso.

- They are reminders of all hardships I faced on the island...

- Hardships make us stronger – she murmured, staring at each scar from up close. Her eyes drove back up to his eyes.

Oliver felt hypnotized for a second. He couldn't stop thinking about something she told him earlier, so he had to ask, even if it wasn't exactly what he was expecting to hear.

- Kara, were you mad before, when you thought I was flirting with Helena?

- Me? – Kara blushed, looking down – Pf, no, mad? Why would me mad? I'm... not like that, is just... - Kara quickly bit her lower lip in frustration and then stared back at him – That's a good way of getting killed while on a mission...

- I'm not that easy to kill... Would you be mad if I was?

- Oliver...

- That's not a hard question to answer.

He had no idea what came over him, but he was the type of guy that liked to be sure of things so he needed to know.

He needed it badly.

He didn't do games, he hated guessing. He held her gaze with his.

- Oliver, you're free to do whatever you want and...

There was only one thing he wanted to do for a while now so he grabbed her by the waist with one hand as he slowly guided her backwards, holding her chin with his free hand and bringing his lips to taste hers in a slow pace. He wanted to savor every second of it, until it turned into a passionate deep kiss. He felt her response with the same fire as her hands went to the back of his neck, strongly holding his hair. He kept guiding her until her hip hit his desk and Oliver just threw anything that was in his way on his table, to the ground, lifting her a bit to help her sit on the desk while he stood between her legs. His hand went to the back of her knee, bringing her hips closer to his. He felt her lips down his neck, to his shoulders as his hands went to her cape. He took it off and let if fall on the floor. Her belt was the next to come off. He slid his hands under her skirt reaching for her tights, never breaking the kiss apart.

- I've wanted to do this for a while now... - He whispered as his lips created a trail of small kisses on her cheeks, to the base of her ear.

- You can do whatever you want...with me

Oliver stopped and stared at her. He brushed his lips slightly through hers, teasing her between smirks as he noticed each reaction of hers. He could stare at her beautiful eyes the whole day, he thought, capturing each look she gave him, each response. He got rid of her blue top, also dropping it. One of his hands reached for the back of her neck, grabbing her hair, bringing her face closer to his.

- I could never get distracted with Helena. – He whispered to her.

Kara felt her heart slamming inside her chest and helped Oliver out of his pants with her feet. She took a moment to caress his cheek, feeling his beard against her skin.

- Really? – Kara's eyes went back to his eyes, full of curiosity mixed with a bit of lust.

- Kara – he lowered his voice, caressing her cheeks, his hands going to her shoulders, down her arms, his lips giving her a slow kiss near her ear- You're the one making me lose sleep at night... You have no idea.

Oliver was so damn serious. It has been a torture, each night dreaming about her, every time they trained together and the tension in the air whenever she was around him. He felt her sweet scent as his lips went down her neck, to her shoulders. He had no control of his actions anymore, feeling all of his frustration and the tension from the past few days that surrounded them, finally explode. He could feel she wanted him just as badly as he wanted her, he felt addicted. His hands held her waist, squeezing it as she pressed her hips against his in response. He lifted her from the desk, and brought her to his bed, gently lowering her on it so her back rested on the mattress. His lips went to her belly button, going slowly up as his body followed, fully covering hers. He stared at her, taking a strand of hair from her face and putting it behind her ear.

- Are you sure?

Kara held his chin, bringing his lips to hers, never taking her eyes from his. Her hand held his chest and she gave him a gentle push, capturing his lips with hers while her body covered him, their legs intertwined

- More than anything. – She smiled between the soft kisses she started giving him, going to his cheeks, down his neck, shoulders and torso while her strong hands slowly explored his muscular body.

Oliver closed his eyes, knowing for sure that the reality was ten times better than any of his dreams. His hand reached for her soft hair as her lips kissed down his abs. He gently held the hair on the back of her neck, guiding her back up, crashing her lips with his, full of want this time. He was incapable of keep holding back at this point.

It was like they were lost in a perfect dance together, in a perfect rhythm.

Oliver Queen was sure of one thing: He wanted to love her, all of her, forever.
