"Hey, guys," Winn smiled when he heard the sound of feet reentering headquarters, starting to turn in his chair. "How did the – oh, my God," he shot out of his chair, eyes wide as J'onn and M'gann ran in first, in full Martian mode.
"You knew why they were going, right," dark archer said.
Winn shrugged he didn't think he knew though.
"Get sun lamps powering up, now," J'onn ordered, shifting back into human form, revealing the four vigilantes handling an unconscious Kara with Alex, Maggie, and Lyra behind them.
"Lyra!" Winn ran to give her a hug.
"She like your girlfriend or something," Rene said.
"Yeah, she is," Winn said.
"Winn," Lyra hugged him tightly.
"What happened?" Winn asked in concern as they went to join where the others were in the medbay.
"What happened is that Cadmus just signed their death certificate," Oliver growled, helping Malcolm lay Kara down on the same bed she'd been in only the day before, Alex and Slade rolling up sun lamps.
"Oh yeah they definitely did," Sara muttered. "No one hurts my super puppy."
When that was done, Alex powering the lamps up, Oliver walked back only
a few steps, still within reaching distance of Kara, pulling out his phone.
"It's about to get a lot more crowded here," he warned J'onn.
"If it takes Cadmus down, bring them," he answered, gesturing to Kara. "An attack on her when she isn't Supergirl? This is something I won't let slide."
Oliver nodded in satisfaction, dialing Cisco's number. The metahuman answered on the first ring.
"Oliver!" he greeted worriedly. "Please tell me Kara's OK?"
"A second time, Cisco," Oliver growled. "She was attacked a second time, broad daylight, as Kara Danvers, not as Supergirl."
"Yeah they crossed a line," Oliver said.
"Oh, my God," Cisco whispered in disbelief.
"I need you to get to Star City and get my team here, now."
"I'm on my way now, man. And if you need Wally and I to help you out at any point, just say the word, we're there. Barry – " Cisco cut off for a moment. "Barry would want us to help her, too."
"While I agree with that I'm not dead," Barry said.
"Maybe not but your gone forever there," Cisco said
"Thank you, Cisco," Oliver said gratefully, tensing when he heard running behind him. "Get them here as soon as you can."
"Opening the breach to Star City now."
"Thank you, Cisco," Oliver said while the rest of team supergirl and team arrow agreed with him.
Oliver hung up and turned to see Lena run in, eyes wide. "What happened?" she demanded, looking towards the medbay.
"Your mother decided attacking her as Supergirl wasn't going to work, so they went after her as Kara Danvers instead," Oliver answered, not sugar coating at all as he walked over. "Complete with any kind of Kryptonite weapon they had."
"Well we did blow most of them up," Laurel said smugly.
"Oh, my God," Lena put a hand over her mouth.
"Is she going to be all right?" the black man with Lena asked in concern.
"She better be, or there's going to be nothing left of Cadmus when I'm through with them," Oliver growled.
Everyone agreed with him about that.
"I don't think you'll be alone in that," Lena watched Malcolm and Slade circle Kara's bed like,protective wolves, Laurel pacing back and forth anxiously.
"Malcolm was there with her," Oliver nodded. "If he hadn't figured it out, Kara would be dead."
He paused, then frowned at the black man when he started in recognition. "Who're you?"
"James Olsen," he answered. "I work with Kara at CatCo. She spoke to me just before she left. The man, Malcolm, he was with her."
"We decided one of us should go on break with her, just in case Cadmus tried something stupid," Oliver nodded. "Malcolm was who we decided on."
"So that's the real reason why," Kara said.
"Hey, man," Winn walked up to James, Lyra with him. "Good to see you."
"You, too, man," James smiled.
"Oh, Oliver, this is my girlfriend, Lyra," Winn gestured to the alien. "She helped Malcolm when Cadmus attacked."
"Thank you," Oliver told her sincerely. "Malcolm told me you were a big help."
"I hate Cadmus," she said simply, narrowing her eyes. "I would have helped take them out any day."
"I've never seen any of you around the D.E.O. before," James turned to Oliver.
Before Oliver could say anything, Winn grinned. "Oh, they came to free Kara the first time she was captured," he told James, Oliver pinching the bridge of his nose, Lena smiling sympathetically at him. "Lena helped them. They even managed to blow part of their base up!"
"Fangirl much Winn," James said.
"It was a Kryptonite storage facility," Oliver said dryly. "I don't think anyone was even in there at the time."
"Nope, there wasn't," Laurel walked up, folding her arms. "Because Malcolm and I killed anyone who tried to enter." She smiled coldly at James. "And we were more than happy to do that considering what they did to her."
"How is she?" Oliver asked.
"She's doing better," Laurel answered. "Malcolm and Slade aren't going to leave her alone any time soon, though."
"No, I'm not, either," Oliver looked back at the medbay. Kara was already looking better, despite not waking up yet. Malcolm had pulled up a chair close to her, in quiet discussion with Alex.
"As I ship it," Thea said quietly.
Slade was still glaring at anyone who tried to come closer. "How long has Cadmus been an issue?" he turned to the others.
"They first made a big appearance last year," Winn answered. "They resurrected a man who tried to kill Lena with Kryptonite, made him into a cyborg and sent him after Kara and her cousin. Few weeks later, they supplied weapons to a criminal group that affected Kara. They weren't
Kryptonite, but they could hurt her. And then they actually kidnapped her and, uh . . . " He, James, and Lena exchanged glances. "They kidnapped her and Mon-El," Winn finally said.
"They took Kara's blood to break into her cousin's fortress and steal a virus that could kill all,aliens on Earth."
"Oh my god," Thea said.
"Yeah it couldn't hurt me because it was originally a Kryptonian virus but it could kill all other aliens, Lillian was able to modify it so that it couldn't hurt humans either," Kara said.
"Fortunately, I was able to switch out a key component of the virus, rendering it useless," Lena told Oliver. "And I called the police to arrest my mother that day, too."
"Nice job, too bad she didn't stay in prison," Oliver said.
"That didn't stick, unfortunately," James grumbled.
"That wasn't my fault," Lena glared at him. "I hate her, too, remember?"
"I never said it was your fault," James said.
Before anyone could respond, there was a hissing noise, and they turned as one of Cissaid breaches appeared in the briefing room.
"Wait!" Oliver shouted when D.E.O. soldiers started aiming at the breach, including Alex and Maggie. "Wait!"
"Wait!" J'onn took up the call.
Cisco jumped out of the breach, quickly raising his hands. "I come in peace?" he offered, looking around.
"Hey I didn't get shot," Cisco said happily
"Cisco," Oliver jogged over, J'onn behind him, Alex slowly lowering her gun. "Any trouble?"
"None," Cisco shook his head, taking off his glasses. "In fact, it was quite a scramble to get sister nearly throttled me when I said I was coming to make sure I came to the right place before I sent everyone through."
"That sounds like Thea," Roy said. Thea then lightly hit him on the arm.
He perked up and extended his hand to J'onn when he joined
them. "J'onn."
"Cisco," J'onn nodded, shaking his hand. "Thank you for bringing Oliver and the others here."
"I think it would be a death sentence to argue with Oliver when he's this determined," Cisco gave him a look. "Besides, it's Kara."
J'onn smirked. "Yes, it is."
"Bring them through, Cisco," Oliver ordered.
"You got it," Cisco nodded, rubbing his hands together. "And remember, S.T.A.R. Labs is on call if you need some more metahuman help."
"We may," Oliver said.
Oliver nodded, and Cisco jumped back through the breach. "We should probably stand back,said warned J'onn dryly.
They had barely taken a few steps back before the breach flared and deposited a short-haired brunette that looked like she had just come from a high-paying job and was ready to go on a warpath.
"Where is she?" Thea demanded, ignoring her surroundings and marching right up to Oliver. "What happened? Oh, my God, please tell me she's OK!"
"Thea, she's fine," Oliver put his hands on her shoulders, J'onn waving for the D.E.O. to lower all their weapons. "Malcolm made sure no Kryptonite touched her. There was enough that it knocked her out, but that's it."
"It's still unacceptable," Thea grumbled, adjusting the bag she had over her shoulder.
"Hey, man," Dig was the next through the breach, a concerned look on his face. "As soon as Cisco came, we started packing."
"I heard," Oliver nodded, giving him a hug.
"Attacked as Kara? Not Supergirl?" When Oliver darkened and nodded, Dig whistled, a stormy
look forming on Thea's face. "Man, they really do want to piss you off, don't they?"
"Yes they do," Thea said.
"Yeah kind of like with Overgirl-," Rebecca was cut off with Laurel's hand on her mouth and Malcolm giving her a look.
Oliver just smirked. "I'm guessing the four of us aren't the only ones they pissed off, though."
"Hell, no," Quentin said as he came through the breach, Felicity with him.
"Wow everyone is coming like all of team arrow," Thea said.
"They did that quite well to all of us, and we haven't even met them!"
"But she's OK?" Felicity looked around, concern on her face.
"She's fine," Oliver nodded. "As fine as she can be, while she's under sun lamps."
"Oh, good," Felicity slumped in relief, Thea relaxing slightly.
Three more people came through the breach. One Oliver had been expecting; the other two, on the other hand –
"Samantha?" he walked over in concern. "William? What're you doing here?"
"I agree with him what are you doing there," Kara said.
"Save it, Oliver," Samantha gave him a look, her hand on William's back. "We're here to support her, OK?"
"Thank you," Kara said smiling.
Oliver closed his eyes. "This isn't going to be pretty," he warned.
"Lian Yu didn't end up being paradise, either," Samantha pointed out.
"That's true," Samantha said.
"Is she OK?" William asked.
Oliver sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. He knew that this could possibly end badly, but they did owe Kara their lives, too. "Support only," he told Samantha. When she nodded her consent, Oliver crouched so he was eye level with William.
"She's hurt, but she's going to be OK," he told his son gently. "We're going to make sure that doesn't happen to her again."
"Good," William nodded.
Oliver patted his shoulder before standing and turning to the third member of the group. "Thank you for coming, Nyssa."
"Of course I would," Nyssa said.
"Of course," Nyssa nodded. "After what I saw of her, I found it hard to believe she had a weakness that could be this terrible."
"Nobody did," Felicity said.
"It is," Oliver nodded grimly.
The breach flared one final time, the last members of Team Arrow coming through. "Wow," Curtis looked around, eyes wide. "We come in peace?"
"Too late I said that already," Cisco said.
"I think they get that," Rene rolled his eyes, walking up to Oliver. "Hey, Hoss."
"How is she?" Dinah asked.
"Recovering," Oliver answered, looking around at everyone who had come from his Earth.
"Thank you," he told them sincerely. "None of you had to come."
"Yes, we did," Felicity said fiercely.
"Oliver, none of us were going to sit this out," Dig shook his head. "No way."
Oliver nodded and turned to J'onn. "J'onn is the director of the Department of Extranormal Operations, the organization Kara works with," he introduced the others.
"Dig, you thought Kara was impressive, wait until you see what he can do."
"Do I want to know?" Dig asked almost worriedly.
Oliver chuckled as J'onn transformed into his Martian form.
"Whoa that's really cool," Thea said.
"You should have heard Cisco the first time we saw that," Iris said.
"Yeah I thought he was human so don't judge me," Cisco said.
"You tell me."
"Whoa," William's eyes widened.
"That's cool," Curtis said faintly.
Oliver shook his head. "The rest of my team," he gestured. "Field support is my sister, Thea – "
"Speedy," she nodded.
"Dig."
"Spartan," Dig nodded.
"Dinah."
"Black Canary," the metahuman spared Laurel a quick look, who merely gave a small smile. The doppelgänger of the original Black Canary preferred Black Siren anyway.
"I really do you're welcome to use that code name," black siren said.
"Rene."
"Wild Dog," Rene nodded.
"Curtis."
"Mr. Terrific," Curtis smiled.
"And Nyssa Raatko, or – "
"Wait your last name is Raatko, I thought it was al Ghul," Kara said.
"Al Ghul is just the name I use," Nyssa said.
"Nyssa al Ghul," Nyssa nodded.
"Felicity is tech support," Oliver gestured to the blonde.
"Overwatch," she smiled.
"Quentin Lance, occasional field support and informant," Oliver nodded to his deputy mayor.
"And my son William and his mother, Samantha."
"Welcome to Earth-38," J'onn nodded to all of them. "And thank you for waging a war against an organization you know nothing about."
"Well now we need to take them down no matter what," J'onn said.
Alex looked at him gratefully when he said that.
"I know they have a bone to pick with blondie," Rene shrugged. "All I need to know right now."
"Don't call me blondie," Kara said.
"Yeah she doesn't like it when people call her that," Barry said.
"It still means a lot," Alex finally walked forward. "I'm Alex, Kara's older sister."
"Maggie Sawyer," Maggie came forward as well. "NCPD. I've worked a lot with the D.E.O. since they relocated here."
The rest of Team Arrow introduced themselves when Thea suddenly craned her neck, looking past Oliver. "Is that her?" she pointed.
Oliver quickly looked over his shoulder to see into the medbay, where Malcolm and Slade were bending over Kara's bed. A moment later, he could see they were helping the blonde start to sit up. "That's her," he nodded, sprinting over.
Slade looked up when Oliver joined them. "She's as stubborn as you are, kid," he said with a smirk. "Can't keep her down long."
"Unlike me, she's an alien who can probably get back on her feet quicker than I can," Oliver countered.
"While that's true she still shouldn't be up," Oliver said.
Regardless, he put his hand on Kara's shoulder. "Are you OK?" he asked quietly.
"Feel like I just went through a blender," Kara mumbled, shaking her head slightly.
"Ouch that sounds like it hurts," Barry says.
"You got overwhelmed by a ton of Kryptonite," Malcolm told her. "As in knives, bullets, and those weird bracelets."
"Thank you," Kara whispered, reaching for Malcolm's hand and squeezing it.
A brief look of surprise passed over Malcolm's face before he smiled back. "You're welcome, almas."
"What?" she blinked up at him.
"Almas," he repeated. "It's Arabic. It means diamond."
Kara started blushing and Sara said "wow that somehow makes her even more cute."
"Do you have a crush on her or what, I mean what, is happening here," Oliver said.
"Maybe I do have a crush on her the question is do you have a crush on her," Sara said.
"Maybe, but you definitely do," Oliver said.
Slade snorted when Kara's cheeks turned red. "Way to go, wizard, making her blush."
"It's magician, thank you."
Laurel and Zari started laughing really hard.
"Why are you laughing?" Oliver asked.
"You'll see," Laurel said.
Oliver rolled his eyes. "Someone wants to say hi to you," he told Kara.
"Who?" she perked up.
"Well," Oliver made a show of stepping to the side, showing the rest of Team Arrow approaching. "I should say someones."
"You're kidding me," Kara shot up, her jaw falling open.
"Hey, girl," Felicity smiled, she and Thea the first ones to walk up.
"Oh, my God," Kara's eyes filled with tears, wrapping her arms around the two girls. "Oh, my God, you came!"
"Of course we did," Thea hugged her, smiling. "I told you we would!"
"Besides, we owe you," Felicity smiled at Kara. "All of us do."
Kara buried her head in Thea's shoulder. "Thank you," she mumbled.
"You're welcome," Thea smiled, giving her one more quick squeeze before pulling away.
"Kara?" William asked nervously.
"William!" Kara's eyes widened, and she scooted to the edge of her bed, leaning down so she could meet his gaze easier. "You came, too?"
"Mom said the fighting is covered," William nodded. "But support is a good thing to have, too."
"That it is," Slade said.
Kara looked up at Samantha, tears in her eyes. "Your mother is a very smart woman," she smiled at William.
"Thank you," Samantha said.
"No, thank you," Kara said.
"OK, maybe it was a good idea for you two to come," Oliver finally admitted as William started chatting with Kara, watching the blonde start to smile more.
"So," Felicity practically bounced up. "Who do I talk to?"
"That would be Winn," Oliver pointed to where the man was chatting with James and Lyra still. "He's the tech attached to Kara."
"Ooo, techie?" Felicity grinned. "I'll start setting up here right away."
"Ooo, I want to see what happens with that," Felicity said.
"Good," Oliver nodded. "The sooner, the better."
"Hey, hey, hey," Thea ran to catch up with Alex, who was working on disengaging the sun lamps. "Kara's sister, right?"
"Yeah," Alex nodded, turning to her. "And you're Oliver's, right?"
"Yeah," Thea nodded, biting her lip. "So . . . " She turned to look at where their siblings were interacting before turning and grinning. "What do you think?"
Alex blinked. "Excuse me?"
"OK," Thea leaned in closer, making Maggie frown slightly. "Come on. Would they not make the most kickass couple ever?"
"Thea, oh my god just stop," Oliver said.
"Never you are my ship," Thea said "I will never stop."
Alex's eyebrows shot up, and she conspiratorially leaned past Thea as well to look at the two.
Laurel noticed and put a hand over her mouth before she started laughing. Unfortunately, that
tipped Kara off, who looked past Slade and blushed when she saw them. "Stop it!" she
complained, making the others turn as well.
The two sisters turned around, laughing to themselves. "Yes," Alex admitted.
"Alex," Kara whined.
"I agree with Thea over here you guys would make a kick ass couple," Alex said.
"Good," Thea grinned. "Because the entire team shares that opinion."
"Oh my God really," Oliver said.
Everyone nodded and Kara pouted.
"What, are you going to get them together while fighting Cadmus at the same time?"
Thea shrugged. "It's called multitasking."
"Like I'm doing now," Thea said.
"Are you doing the same thing you future self is doing," Oliver said.
"No, technically there are more people helping me, so it's different," Thea said.
Alex snorted, making Thea grin. "Just let me know if you're in."
"That's not even a question," Alex grinned as Thea sauntered off.
"What's not even a question?" Maggie walked over, doing her best to seem disinterested.
"Getting Oliver and Kara together," Alex answered with a grin. Maggie did a double take.
"What?"
"So," Thea said loudly, drawing everyone's attention back to her. "Cadmus made the mistake of attacking Kara, not Supergirl. We're all here, and we're all pissed." She smirked at Oliver, J'onn, and Kara. "Let the good times roll."
"You all are scary,"
That smirk was reflected back by Oliver, Slade, Malcolm, and Laurel. "Is it bad that I'm actually slightly scared?" Lena turned to Samantha.
"No," Samantha shook her head, looking back at the others as they immediately started discussing what to do with Cadmus. "If you're smart, you should be."
"That's true," Sara said.
They watched as the next video turned on.
