AN: yay my favorite chapter of the book. Read and review, please. The beginning has so much angst, and a cliche death scene as you finally get to see how Kara dies in a flashback because the only way you would be able to see her death scene is in a flashback so I made one. I spent forever on the flashback death scene, and my brain didn't want to work on normal hours, I would wake up in the middle of the night with an idea.

Shipping sister so far (thought you'd like to know who is in the text group, also I'm calling them shipping sisters when they act the same because it's easier than writing all of their names):

Samantha

Thea

Alex

Sara

Felicity

Black Siren

Nyssa (Sara convinced her, she does not "jump around like a squealing fangirl" as she puts it)

Iris

Lena

Everyone spent the next day quietly in the break room waiting and talking amongst themselves. Everyone was quiet, they knew what had happened, they knew that if they didn't change things, what happened with Sara in the future would come to pass. Slowly it got more cheerful after Oliver addressed that they would change things once they got to that point. The shipping sisters (minus Black Siren) started betting on Dark Archer and Black Siren again because they couldn't bet on Oliver and Kara, because last time they did Oliver yelled at them. When Dark Archer and Black Siren saw them doing that and they yelled at them.

Towards the end of the day a tired looking Laurel came in and said "I'm sure you have questions, and I'm allowed to answer them to a certain extent, I may not be able to answer all of your questions, if I tell you I can't answer a question, please don't push me to answer it."

They all nodded and Sara asked, "Where is the Kara in this time, really."

"I already told you where she is," Laurel answered.

"You told us a lie, I want the truth," Sara said.

"Wait, you lied about that," Kara said.

"Why are you pushing this now, don't you uphold the timeline," Laurel said ignoring Kara.

"Technically, yes I'm supposed to uphold the timeline, I'm really bad at it, but that's not my point, we just agreed that we are going to change things that happen, and we need to know everything that happens, and I'm pushing it now, because after seeing what happened on that screen I have a bad feeling about why you lied, and why we're here," Sara said.

Laurel thought about it and she said, "Okay, you really want to know don't you?"

"Yes, I do," Sara said.

"Alright, I'll tell you," Laurel said.

She remembered that night as she explained (sorry I thought that you would like this better if I did this instead of having Laurel explain it, italics are Laurels memories).

A meta-human prison van was getting attacked while transporting 3 meta-humans to a different prison. Kara and Laurel were sent to handle it. When they got there they saw Cicada, and Kara activated her comms and said "Felicity, Winn, we have a problem, Cicada's here."

All they heard was static which worried them. "What's going on?" Kara said to her.

"I don't know, but, uh oh," Laurel said as Cicada turned around and sent his knife flying at Laurel.

She managed to duck before it hit her. They then rushed in to fight him. It was going pretty well until the meta-humans tried to run away.

"Where are they trying to go, it's the middle of nowhere," Laurel yelled and she was right, they were in a wheat field in Iowa, pretty much the middle of nowhere.

"I don't know, but you should go after them," Kara yelled.

"What! No, I'm not leaving you," Laurel yelled back as she dodged an attack.

"They're the whole reason we're here. Go, I got this," Kara said throwing another punch at Cicada's stomach.

Laurel goes after the first meta and manages to catch them, but as she does that Kara punches Cicada and he flies back, he stands up and calls his dagger to him, he then throws it at Kara.

For a brief moment, Laurel thinks "she'll be fine she's Kara."

But then the dagger rips through Kara's chest and back around into Cicada's hands it was... glowing green. Kryptonite. Someone gave Cicada kryptonite.

"Oh god," Thea said.

Laurel ran out with a mumbled excuse as she heads out into the hall breathing heavily, she backs up into the wall as the rest of the memories come in flashes.

"NO!" Laurel yells as Kara falls to the ground.

Laurel runs over and picks Kara up as she cries.

Kara is still breathing shallowly and her eyes are breathing as she says "Don't let him blame himself."

Laurel knew who she was talking about, Oliver, but she refused to accept it.

"No, no! You're not dying, Felicity, Winn, Cisco, anyone we need help!" Laurel yelled at her comms but all she heard was static on the other end. Why weren't they answering?

"Laurel, I would love to believe I'm going to make it through this but, I have a gaping hole in my chest, I'm not going to make it, but I need you to promise me you won't let him blame himself, he blames himself for enough already, he doesn't need to blame himself for me too, there was nothing he could have done," Kara said.

"Okay, I promise," Laurel said.

Kara smiles at her and then goes limp in her arms.

Everything after that is a blur to Laurel, there are only flashes of what she did.

She remembers screaming, regular screams, not meta-human screams, Cicada took that away too. She remembers seeing Cicada kill all three meta-humans. She remembers fighting Cicada, she remembers him knocking her into something, and then her comms worked again, she called the rest of the league and she remembers them fighting Cicada, then retreating.

Then came the aftermath. They were all in the briefing room, and so was Kara's body. She saw Oliver in the corner of the room staring at the wall, she wanted to go over there badly, she wanted to tell him what Kara had said, but she couldn't get up the nerve to do it, what if he blamed her, why wouldn't he she blamed herself, she could have warned Kara about the knife, but she didn't, she walks out of the room and into the hallway.

Malcolm walked out after her and saw her crying, he just sat down next to her and put an arm around her as she cried.

After that she knew she had to tell Oliver what Kara had said, she planned to do it after her memorial.

She barely remembers the memorial. She remembers a few faces, but she doesn't remember what happened at the memorial or what anyone said.

She does know what happened after the memorial. She walked up to Oliver who had lost track of where Alura and Moira went but was still just sitting there, in shock.

"Oliver," she said, and as she said it Oliver looked up, surprised like he hadn't known she was there.

"What?" Oliver said and as she heard him say that she could hear the raw pain in his voice like it took all he had not to break down.

"I'm sorry," she said.

"Why should you be sorry, it wasn't your fault," Oliver said.

'We have differing opinions on that' Laurel thought.

"You should know what she said before she...," Laurel said trailing off.

"What did she say?" Oliver said.

"She said she didn't want you to blame yourself there is nothing you could have done to stop it," Laurel said.

"Yeah," Oliver said, but he didn't sound convinced.

"You should go find Alura and Moira, and I should go find Rebecca," Laurel said.

"I feel like we'll still end up in the same place," Oliver said.

"Your probably right," Laurel said as they walked out together.

Laurel remembered his plan.

They were all in a meeting where they were discussing Cicada. They eventually agreed, after what felt like 4 hours to Laurel, that they would come up with a plan to neutralize Cicada's knife and then send in the meta-humans and take him down.

When they were done Oliver pulled Laurel to the side and said "All that planning and we still don't have a real plan, just people saying what they'd like to do."

"Well what can we do, plans like these take forever," Laurel said.

"I have a different plan, a plan that not everyone in there will like," Oliver said.

"Why? What's your plan?" Laurel asked.

"It involves time travel, but hear me out, it could maybe bring Kara back," Oliver said.

"There is a reason that most the people in there wouldn't like us using time travel, just to bring Kara back," Laurel said.

"Laurel are you with me or not because either way, I'm doing this," Oliver said.

"Yeah, I'm with you on this, and I'm guessing so will Malcolm and Slade," Laurel said.

"Yeah, they're already on board, all I had to say was it'll save Kara," Oliver said.

"That sounds like them, anyone else on board," Laurel asked.

"Nora," Oliver said.

"West-Allen or Darhk?" Laurel asked as they walked through the station.

"West-Allen," Oliver said.

"Doesn't she have like... school or something," Laurel said.

"She does but, we both know that she is smart enough to skip a couple of days, or an entire grade or two," Oliver said.

"Okay, who else, if anyone," Laurel said as they went deeper into the station.

"Zari, Alex, Felicity, Lena, Winn, Thea, Roy, William, and Ruby all insisted on helping," Oliver said.

"Wow, they all want to help?" Laurel said.

"Yeah they all love Kara, and Zari said that she loves hacking time, and apparently the security cameras because that's how she found out, Nora too, we might need to talk to Felicity about that," Oliver said.

Laurel nodded then said "Where are we going? I've never been to this part of the station before."

"Yeah, no one really goes down here, it's the lower levels which is mostly storage, the memorial room, and where the kids go when we kick them out of wherever we are," Oliver answered.

"Oh, so this is where they go," Laurel said.

They walked closer to a door and they heard "Ow! Don't throw stuff at me."

They walked inside and they saw Rebecca rubbing her head.

"Hey, you're here I found a place you can set up," Nora said.

"Great, also where did you get this stuff," Laurel said as they walked out.

"Oh, I don't know," Nora said "Here this way. So how long will it take to get this up and running anyway?"

"A few months probably," Oliver answered her.

"Okay here we are," Nora said.

Laurel felt herself being shaken and someone saying her name.

She looked up and saw Malcolm who said "Hey, are you good?"

"Yeah I-I'm fine jus- um just talking to them brought up a bunch of memories and bad feelings," Laurel said.

"Okay, let's go," Malcolm said as they got up and headed to the control room.

In the viewing room, everyone was really surprised as they saw her run out of the room.

"What happened?" Dark Archer asked.

"My guess is, by asking her to tell you what happened she had something close to a panic attack," said a voice from the doorway, everyone looked up and saw future Slade.

"Why would asking that make her have a panic attack," Black Siren asked.

"She blames herself for it because she was the only one there and in her eyes, she should have warned her," future Slade said.

"Survivors guilt," Caitlyn said.

"Yes," future Slade said.

They all nodded and future Slade left.

In the control room was everyone that knew about it, even the people that weren't there before.

"Hey Laurel, how are you? Have they gotten to the first Oliver and Kara kiss yet," Thea said.

"No, they haven't, that's the next video," Ruby said.

"What are you all doing here," Laurel said.

"Damage control," Oliver mutters.

"No not damage control! we're here to watch and help out," Felicity said.

"Although you might also want to do damage control, they saw everything that we did on the T.V," Barry said.

"What! How?" Cisco said.

"When did he get here?" Laurel asked Malcolm who shrugged.

"We left a bunch of techies in there, we should have expected this," Lena said.

"I did, but nobody asked me," Gideon said.

"Sorry, Gid," Zari said.

Laurel was about to say something about Gideon but then she remembered Zari installed her on the computers so that William and Ruby didn't screw anything up.

"Oh, Laurel do you know where Scarlett is," Thea asked.

"No, I don't, I think she might be with Rebecca," Laurel said.

"Alura's gone too," Oliver said

"And so is Nora," Barry said.

"Yeah, so that's a problem," Malcolm said.

"Yeah, it is," Laurel agrees.

They all wrap up for the day to head to their own houses, where they find their kids, although the next day the kids are gone again.

The next day they have everything up and running again, so as soon as the viewing party is done eating breakfast they go and sit down.

As Laurel and Malcolm walk in they hear the shipping sisters laughing about something in their group chat.

"Hmm, if they think their group chat is weird they should see our's," Laurel said.

"Oh yeah, I'm sure our's is weirder it has everyone in it, including me and Slade," Malcolm said.

Everyone sat down and watched as the next video came on.

"So all of you owe Kara a debt because she saved your lives on the island," Cat folded her arms as she listened. "All of you are here to repay that debt by taking down Cadmus . . . and you're all betting on when Kara and Oliver become a couple?"

Everyone started laughing because Cat summed up everything that had happened so far, basically.

"I owe her twice," Malcolm corrected.

"Why do you all feel a need to point that out," Kara said while blushing furiously

"That's it," Rene nodded.

"They're totally smitten," Thea grinned, only to yelp when Iris jabbed her in the arm.

All of the shipping sisters (except Nyssa) nod as they look at them. Kara blushes heavily, and Oliver just rolls his eyes at them.

"Well, I'm not wrong!"

"That would explain why his son was so concerned when I thought it was her and Malcolm," Cat recalled.

"What?" Malcolm blanched, making Slade and Laurel burst out laughing. "No, that's not
happening. Shut up!" he snapped at the other two.

Everyone burst out laughing at his reaction.

"Rude," Dark Archer mutters.

"Meet Kara's two protective older brothers," Winn smirked.

"Yep, basically," Laurel said.

"Or at least they act like they are," Felicity snickered. "Two of the deadliest people here, and they act like children all the time."

"That about sums them up," Laurel says smiling.

"Hey!" they both protested at the same time.

"That is not helping you," Kara said.

"We rest our case," Winn laughed.

"Well, I'm happy Kara has you looking out for her," Cat smiled. "Now I know why these two," she gave Winn and James looks, "always seemed to be with her."

"Yeah," James rubbed the back of his head, Winn's attention suddenly on his tablet. "We did use one of the unused office areas for a while."

"Hmm," Cat gave them a long look. "I do hope you returned it to its proper condition."

James and Winn looked between each other. "We did."

"We did not," Winn said.

Footsteps from the other direction made them turn. Oliver was emerging from the corridor, the same hardened look in his eyes, except this time, there was a small hint of panic in them.

"He must've got something," Maggie said in relief.

"If I just badly hurt someone he cared about, and he came to make me talk, I would have been a babbling wreck," Cisco snorted. "Either that's what happened, or Oliver didn't hold anything back."

"Why do I have a feeling its number two," Kara said.

"Because it's my brother, and they hurt you, and he likes you," Thea said.

When Thea leaned around the others to see Oliver walk up to J'onn, she caught him slipping a very bloody knife out of sight under his jacket. She cringed and turned back around. "Go with Option B."

"Yeah that makes sense," Thea said grossed out.

"Oh, God," Samantha closed her eyes.

"Everyone's thoughts," Iris said.

"Hopefully, that means we're one step closer to taking down Cadmus," Iris tried to make
everyone optimistic.

"Well, that's a bright side," Alex said.

"Is there a bright side to that," Kara said.

"J'onn," Oliver nodded curtly to the Martian as he walked up.

"How big of a mess is it?" he asked.

"Messy," Oliver answered, slipping his knife back into his jacket. "I don't have a location."

"Well that's a problem," Nyssa said.

"But?" J'onn prompted.

"I do have their worst-case scenario option for taking out Supergirl," Oliver smirked; J'onn knew him too well. "Unfortunately, it means not all of us will be suited up. At least, not in the way we'd like to be."

"What?"

"Their worst-case scenario is taking Kara out in full view of National City's elite," Oliver
answered. "Lena's party."

"You're kidding me, of course, she would do something like that," Lena said very angrily.

J'onn closed his eyes. "And as Lillian's daughter, it'll look like Lena was in on it."

"That sounds like my mother's style," Lena said.

"Yes."

J'onn sighed. "I better go inform Miss Luthor." He caught Oliver's gaze sliding towards the medical bay, and he nodded. "Alex hasn't moved for two hours."

"Of course not, she's more overprotective than any of you," Kara said.

"You take that back," Malcolm said betrayed he was the most overprotective in his eyes.

"I'll tell her," Oliver volunteered.

"Go on," J'onn nodded. Oliver nodded back, heading to where Alex was still sitting by Kara's side.

"Got something?" Quentin guessed as J'onn approached where everyone else was gathered.

"Oliver didn't get a location, but he got something just as crucial," J'onn nodded. "Their worst-case scenario for outing Kara and killing her at the same time."

"You're kidding," Curtis's jaw dropped.

"No," J'onn shook his head. "It will also ensure the Luthor name keeps its negative connotation."

"Basically," Lena said.

Cat narrowed her eyes. "The L-Corp party for Supergirl."

"Yes," he nodded, making Rene groan and Dig facepalm. "And currently, our only advantage is that we know they'll be there."

"With our luck, they'll do something really evil to her instead of just trying to kill her," Thea said.

"Thea, stop jinxing us," Oliver said.

"It's better than nothing," Winn pointed out.

"Yeah, that's true," Alex said.

"Did Oliver get anything else?" James asked.

"No," J'onn shook his head. "To be honest, I'm a bit skeptical to go back to the cells."

"That bad?" Malcolm raised an eyebrow.

"Oh I would imagine it is that bad," Oliver said.

"That bad," he confirmed.

"Well, I'm not sure how much the NCPD can do," Maggie sighed. "But I don't need to be at the party."

"I think it's a given that Oliver's going to attach himself to Kara's side and not leave her at all," Cisco smirked.

"They look good together, at least," Thea smirked.

"I agree with her," Alex said pointing at Thea.

"Of course you do, I'm right," Thea said.

"Well, don't tell him that," Quentin snorted.

"This does nothing to change my mind about going," Cat looked around at everyone. "Ever since Kara became Supergirl, CatCo – and I – have been among her biggest supporters. I'll be making an appearance even if I have to drag around a protection detail."

"We won't stop you," J'onn assured her, a new respect for the media mogul in his eyes.

"That is pretty brave," Oliver said.

"Mr. Olsen, you'll be going as well, I assume?"

"Yes," James nodded. "Miss Grant, Kara, and I were the only ones invited from CatCo to attend."

"And Oliver we can already jot down for being there, too," Thea added.

"So who's the team with Kara, and who's the team suiting up?" Dig looked around.

"I will be on the team with backup," Nyssa volunteered first. "I would stand out quite a bit."

"Yes, I wouldn't do good at a party like that," Nyssa said.

"Guess that puts me there, too," Slade smirked.

"I'll go with Kara," Malcolm raised a hand, taking a look at his cybernetic one and snorting. "That can be hid decently."

"How?" Thea said.

"And if not," Laurel folded her arms, "I'll be there to take the eyes off it."

"Laurel Lance is my date," Malcolm shook his head, rolling his eyes to the sky. "I never thought I would ever say that."

"Oh, look how far we've come," Laurel said to Malcolm who laughed a bit.

"Yeah, and I'm her father," Quentin snorted. "Or, sort of."

"Still my father," Laurel assured him with a smile.

"Two of you could always be Miss Grant's 'security detail,'" Maggie suggested.

All eyes immediately went to Dig, who rolled his eyes. "Guess I know where I'm going."

Everyone laughed at his face on the screen.

"You look so resigned to your fate there," Thea said laughing.

"Rene can go with you, too," Dinah told him. "Two sonic screams at the party might not be the best idea."

"At least I know it won't end up being boring," Rene shrugged. "Why not?"

"Yeah, it certainly won't be boring," Black Siren said.

"Well, I'm not fighting," Iris held up her hands. "You know where I'll be."

"I can be with Felicity here on comms," Quentin looked around. "The more eyes in the sky, the better."

"Curtis?" Dig looked at him.

"I might take that offer, too," Curtis admitted. "Besides, if worse comes to worst, there can always be a backup group to come in."

"Good idea," J'onn nodded. "Miss Queen?"

"Put me with the team suiting up," Thea answered after a while. "I'll let Ollie stick to the party."

"Yeah, I was never a fan of fancy parties," Thea said.

"Yeah I remember, you would hide in your room if the party was at our house," Oliver said.

"So Oliver, Malcolm, Laurel, Dig, and Rene are gonna be on the floor with Kara, James, and Miss Grant, and Slade, Nyssa, Thea, and Dinah will be watching their backs," Winn made a few notes on his tablet. "Lance, Curtis, and Iris are gonna be here with Felicity and me, but they can take a group and head out if they need to."

"Sounds like a plan," James nodded.

"I can have a van near the party with all your equipment," Maggie told them.

"I'll call Miss Luthor," J'onn nodded. "Once again, thank you for your help in taking down this organization."

"Anything to help Kara," Dig nodded. "She showed up twice when we needed her help, and she expected nothing in return. I think this is a small price to pay."

Oliver walked into the medbay, seeing Alex with her elbows on her knees, her eyes alternating between the computer monitors and her sleeping sister. "Hey," he put a hand on her shoulder.

Alex jumped slightly, looking up. "Hey," she answered, rubbing her eyes. "She hasn't moved."

"I didn't think she'd be up and walking right away after a wound like that," Oliver told her,
absently rubbing his own chest. "Samantha said she might have inhaled Kryptonite, too, which might take some time to work out."

"God," Alex rubbed her temples. "I just want to double tap Lillian Luthor in the head right now."

A bunch of other people started voicing their agreement, including Sara, Dark Archer, Slade, and Black Siren.

"Race you," Oliver smirked, only half joking. It sort of worked – Alex smiled slightly, making Oliver smile as well as he sat on Kara's other side. "They're going to be at Lena's party."

"You're kidding," Alex's jaw dropped.

"Unfortunately not," Thea said.

"I wish," Oliver shook his head. "And unfortunately, that's all we know."

Alex groaned, putting her face in her hands. "She cannot lay off Kara for one minute, can she?"

"It might be impossible," Kara said.

Oliver shook his head silently. "I think the others are making plans for that night. You've been here for a long time, Alex. I can stay with her."

"Thank you for looking out for her," J'onn said to Oliver.

Alex hesitated. "But – "

"OK, let me rephrase that," Oliver stood up, walked to her side, and took her arm, hauling her out of her seat. "I'm going to stay with her. You go relax." He mockingly pushed Alex towards the others and called, "Maggie! Make sure your fiancée doesn't do anything stupid!"

"Unlikely," said Kara.

"Do you know the Danvers girls?" Maggie shouted back, even as she grinned and went to take Alex's hand.

Kara pouts when everyone agrees with that and Alex glared at them all.

Oliver rolled his eyes and walked back into the medbay, hearing Thea and Felicity laugh.
"Funny," he grumbled as he sat back down. "Very funny."

"Yeah, it is, duh," Thea said completely serious.

He put his hand on top of Kara's, watching her for any signs of motion. She shifted once in her sleep, and a glint of reflected light on her neck caught his eye.

Despite himself, he leaned forward curiously, having never noticed the necklace Kara wore.

Kara looked down at her necklace and tilted the ring so it showed the symbol of the house of El and showed Oliver.

"That's beautiful," Oliver whispered.

Perhaps it was because it was so simple, he considered. It was a simple silver chain, long enough that it could be hidden by Kara's shirt and suit. Now it was lying in plain view, and Oliver tilted his head when he saw what was on the end of the chain. It appeared to be white gold, and the only stone on it was the diamond in the center . . . which appeared to have something carved inside it, if Oliver tilted his head correctly. Still, he wasn't about to reach over and find out what it was . . .

He felt her hand twitch, but attributed it to her dreaming in her sleep. That was until her fingers curled around his hand and he heard her croak, "Oliver?"

"Kara," he breathed in relief, scooting his chair forward and squeezing her hand. "Oh, thank God!"

"Hurts," she whimpered.

"It's OK," he assured her, watching her eyes flick around the medbay in a slight panic.

"Hey, look at me. Look at me, angel." Her eyes snapped back to his, slightly wide, and Oliver reached up, putting his free hand on her cheek. "You're safe," he promised. "Wally and Cisco got to you before you – " The word stuck in the back of his throat.

"Before I died?" Kara finished, her voice cracking slightly.

"Yeah," Oliver cleared his throat. "Before that. They got you here, and Alex managed to get the blade out of you." He looked up at the sun lamps still beaming down on her. "You lost a ton of blood."

Kara closed her eyes again, leaning back. "At CatCo," she said numbly, tears in her eyes. "They attacked me at work." She gasped, eyes widening again as she moved to sit up. "Samantha and William?!"

"You almost died and you're worried about us," Samantha said surprised.

Kara blushed when everyone looked at her with admiration.

"Her blushing is so cute," Sara whispered to Oliver.

"No, it's not, right Oliver," Kara pouted.

"Yeah, Sara, don't say that," Oliver said and then as soon as Kara turned around he nodded and mouthed 'it is so cute.'

"Whoa!" Oliver straightened, hands going to her shoulders when she groaned in pain, her hands reaching for her stomach. "Hey, easy! Easy. Come on." Kara winced, nodding as he helped her settle back. "They're fine," he promised. "Them, and Miss Grant." He smirked. "Your boss is actually slightly terrifying."

"Yes, she is," Kara nodded absently before blanching. "Miss Grant?!"

"Has promised not to say a thing," he assured her, and Kara closed her eyes, relaxing at the statement. "She threatened to fire everyone who saw the incident if they shared anything."

A smile formed on Kara's face when he said that. "That is so Miss Grant." She opened her eyes, looking at him. "The guy that did this to me?"

Oliver took a sudden interest in the sun lamps. "Well . . . he's off much worse than the guy Slade and Malcolm brought in last night."

Kara gave him a look. "Oliver. He's dead, isn't he?"

"I would be surprised if he wasn't," Thea said.

"Yes," he admitted.

Kara closed her eyes, leaning back. "Did he at least give you anything?"

"He did," Oliver nodded, but didn't say anything more.

Kara opened her eyes again, frowning at him. "That's your cue to tell me what he told you."

"You're not going to like it," he warned.

"I don't like anything about Cadmus in general, Oliver. I can take it."

Oliver sighed. "They're going to try and kill you and out you at the same time." She looked at him in shock, and Oliver nodded. "They're going to be at the L-Corp fundraiser."

"Oh, Rao," Kara's eyes filled with tears. "Lena . . . "

"J'onn's letting her know," Oliver told her. "And we're not going to let anything happen to you."

He took her hand again. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

Kara smiled slightly. "I guess this ruined our lunch date."

Oliver tilted his head. "I thought you said that wasn't going to be a date."

"Well . . . " It was Kara's turn to take a sudden interest in the sunlamps, and Oliver couldn't help but roll his eyes as he stood up. "Maybe not a date, but – "

She was cut off when Oliver kissed her, effectively shutting her up. It also didn't take long for her to kiss him back, though when she tried to sit up, she broke it with a gasp, wincing in pain.

"Oh my god, told you so," Thea said.

Then they heard something on the intercom "Hey Oliver, that girl, Alura is your daughter."

"Rebecca! How are you in the control room, and why would you say that!" Laurel yelled.

"I'm not in the control room, I'm on a completely separate earth," Rebecca says.

"Yeah, I'm here because they thought it would be fun, and I didn't argue with them because I also thought it would be fun, also Rebecca's plans are hilarious, although a lot of the time they do get us in trouble so I'm not sure if it's worth it or not," Alura said.

"And I'm here because..., honestly I don't know why I'm here, except that they needed me," Nora said.

"I'm here too," Mia says.

"Well that's great and all, but how are you on the intercom?" Laurel asked angrily.

"Nora's fault," Rebecca says immediately.

"Wow really, that's ugh, it was Rebecca's idea, she was mad because you kicked her out," Nora said.

"Ugh, traitor!" Rebecca yells.

"I'm the trait-" Nora was cut off by Laurel shutting off the intercom.

"What. Just. Happened," Kara groundout.

"My kid just told you how your relationship ends up," Laurel said bluntly.

"Why don't we just watch," Oliver said looking at Thea who was smirking.

Oliver quickly helped ease her back. "I think that tells you I certainly wouldn't have minded if it was a date," he grinned at her.

"Maybe I was kind of hoping," Kara blushed slightly, absently playing with her fingers.

"Then when you get out of here, I'm taking you on a proper one," Oliver told her, smirking. "I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to kiss you before the first date."

Kara turned even redder. "I didn't mind."

Oliver smiled. "The second one can be the L-Corp fundraiser."

"Wouldn't want anyone else there," she beamed at him.

Of course, the moment was ruined when they heard Thea shout, "Dig and Malcolm win!"

"Oh my god, Thea!" Oliver yelled.

Everyone else was laughing, while Kara blushed heavily.

"It's not my fault it took forever," Thea said.

Three pillows hit her in the face.

"Who threw these?" Thea said.

Oliver and Kara raised their hands.

"Who threw this one?" Thea asked.

Sara raised her hand this time.

"Why?" Thea said "Just, why Sara?"

"We were all throwing stuff at you and I joined in," Sara answered her.

"I let you have the pillows back though, well I'm taking them hostage again," Thea said pouting.

"You pouting is not as cute as Kara," Sara said.

"Yeah, I have to agree with Sara," Oliver said.

Kara groaned, closing her eyes. "You have got to be kidding me."

Oliver rolled his eyes, walking over to the door of the medbay. "Shut up!" he shouted at them before slamming the door shut.

"Much better," she giggled as he walked back over.

"Problem solved," he smirked.

"Are you saying I'm a problem," Thea said in a shocked voice.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying," Oliver said.

He immediatley got hit in the face with a pillow

She smiled at him, then shifted slightly on the bed. Getting the hint, Oliver sat on the edge, putting his arm around Kara's back and helping her sit slowly up. She winced a few times, but she settled enough to curl into his side, tucking her head under his chin.

"Much more comfortable," she mused.

He chuckled, kissing the top of her head. "You scared the hell out of me . . . and I was in hell for five years."

"Sorry," she bit her lip. "I didn't plan on being killed today."

Oliver tilted his head, seeing her start to play with the ring around her neck. "I saw that earlier," he told her. "What is it?"

Kara glanced down. When she paled slightly, Oliver quickly shook his head. "You don't need to tell me."

"I had two things with me when I came to Earth from Krypton," she whispered. "I had a necklace my mom gave me . . . and Dad gave me a ring he would have given me when I turned nineteen."

She flipped the ring over onto her palm. "It has the crest of the House of El engraved inside it."

She tilted the ring just right, and Oliver's eyes widened when he saw the S from Kara's suit glint up at him. "That's incredible."

"I gave my mom's necklace to Mon-El when he left," Kara told him. "So I started wearing the ring from my dad instead."

Oliver smiled sadly. "You miss him."

"I think I always will," Kara looked up at him. "I loved him, and it's my fault he had to leave. But I pulled through it."

She smiled. "You helped with that. All of you did. I was nearly so consumed with him leaving, and then you needed my help. And I could do that. I could help you when you needed me to . . . and I needed it, too. I needed some way to get my anger out, but I don't think I realized until Thea nearly lost Malcolm that I needed someone to talk to about Mon-El. I couldn't let his loss keep me from my family and friends. It nearly did. So when I got back to National City, I tried to balance Supergirl and Kara Danvers again. It allowed me to tell Lena who I was, and thank God she understood."

She fiddled with her ring again. "I think if I hadn't gone to Lian Yu, I would still be moping around."

"You, moping," Thea said unconvinced.

"I can't see you moping," Oliver snorted.

"Oh, I moped like you wouldn't believe," Kara nodded. "On the rare occasions I was in the office being Kara Danvers, I wrote my articles at Supergirl speed so I could get back to saving the city. I literally tried to do everything. I abandoned Kara Danvers for Supergirl. It wasn't . . . healthy."

"Yeah, she skipped pizza night once," Alex said.

When they heard that, everyone gasped.

"No," Thea said.

"Yes," Alex said.

"That is horrible," Black Siren said.

"Oh, yeah I almost died of shock when she didn't show up," Alex said.

"Can we stop talking about this," Kara said.

"No, it's way too important," Thea said, but everyone stopped anyway.

She looked up at him, smiling bashfully. "So remind me to thank the entire team when I get out of here for helping me snap out of it."

"On behalf of the team, you're welcome," Oliver smiled, kissing the top of her head. "And you can tell the team in person when you don't need these sunlamps anymore, because no offense, but you still look like hell."

"Wow, way to charm a girl big bro," Thea said laughing.

"Thanks," Kara muttered, halfheartedly slapping his chest. Oliver laughed, helping her lie back down. He stood back up, but with speed that defied her condition, she grabbed his hand.

"Don't leave?" she asked hopefully.

"Aww," Thea said.

Laurel heard Future Thea on her comms saying the same thing, she looked at Malcolm and Zari and they all laughed.

Oliver blinked, then chuckled. "Oh, Kara," he kissed her knuckles, sitting down in the chair next to the bed. "You're not getting rid of me that easily."

Kara just smiled radiantly at him, readjusting their hands so it was more comfortable for her before she closed her eyes, Oliver there to watch over her.

They could worry about Cadmus later.

"If you excuse me I have to find my kid so I can kill her," Laurel whispered.

"And you can't because we have to stay here," Malcolm said.

"I can go, I think I know where they're at," Zari said.

"Yeah, can you do that, so Laurel doesn't kill her," Malcolm said.

"Yeah, see you later," Zari said as she walked out.

"Oh no, I know which one is next, I kinda don't want to move on," Laurel said.

Malcolm nodded as the next video turned on anyway.

AN: I just did the most angsty death scenes I've ever written for the most cinnamon roll ever to cinnamon roll, I have a problem, right.

Also I have now caught up my book to what I'm writing on fanfiction.net so it will take longer to update
