Chapter 15
- They turned left – Felicity said as she looked intensely at her computer. – You have go faster guys...
- Got it! – Kara said as she flew high in the sky, having her eyes on the fugitives. – If we need to be faster...
- Kara... - Oliver said as he drove his motorcycle faster than he could, Thea sat right behind him, holding tight on his waist. – Be careful
- I always am, sweetheart!
- God, you two... This is an open comm guys, behave! - Diggle joked as he drove the van with Dinah and Curtis inside as they chased a group of criminals running away in black motorcycles.
- We cannot let this thing spread around again... - Oliver said as he drove, his attention focused.
- I know... I know... Vertigo right? What a weird name for a drug... - Kara said as she used her super speed and flew right towards those men. In a matter of second she dropped them out of their bikes, making them all fall on street.
The rest of the Team Arrow got to where she was and helped her grab them. Oliver shoot his trick arrows, making a wire trap each and every one of them, so they wouldn't escape.
- I have to confess; I love that Supergirl is helping us for now – Thea said as she smiled at the scene.
- I am too – Oliver smiled proudly at Kara – But we can't be too comfortable and underestimate those guys...
- Honey... - Kara said as she approached Oliver and held his hand – I know what you mean, but for now, I am here to help you guys. Things around here is a bit easier to deal with than on my Earth since there is nothing that can actually harm me, thank Rao... You need to relax even for a bit... - She caressed his cheek with one hand as her other hand held his shoulder.
- Good luck with that! – Reneé teased as Oliver gave him a killer look. He ignored it and grabbed the last criminal and put him on the van. – Now, we a have a delivery to do in SCPD.
- We just drop them at their door. We don't need exposure! – Diggle said.
Diggle patted Oliver on the shoulder and went to the van with Curtis to take those criminals to the police. They had the rest of the night free anyways, so they decided to do it instead of calling them to pick those guys up.
- I'm going back to the bunker bring those to Felicity analyze. – Dinah said, grabbing some of the content of vertigo that fell to the ground.
- Good, we need to see if that's the old vertigo or if they changed anything. And look for the responsible for this. I don't think he was here tonight. – Oliver said as he looked at all the bikes on the ground.
- I'll go with you – Thea said as she smiled at Kara and Oliver – See you lovebirds back at home.
Dinah left with Thea, leaving Kara and Oliver alone. There was a store opened near them, and they heard Supergirl's name on TV. Kara looked at Oliver, apprehensively, as they approached the store to see what they were talking about.
- It looks like the Green Arrow has someone new in his team. She's been called Supergirl on the streets and people who saw her, says she has amazing abilities. Rumors are spreading that she is a really powerful meta human and we are truly lucky she is one of the good guys, since she can lift a car with her bare hands and has the same speed of The Flash.
- I'm faster... - Kara joked as she looked at Oliver.
- I believe you are – Oliver smiled as he hugged her from behind, giving her a kiss on the neck. – I'm proud of you, you know? You won people over really fast. Faster than anyone on the team.
- I was worried... How they were going to react... - She said with her eyes closed – I just worry about my background... They think I'm a meta...
- If you don't feel comfortable letting people here know that you are from another planet, we can keep the meta history. – Oliver hug her by the waist, making her turn around and face him. – All I want is for you to feel safe, comfortable... At home.
- I do feel all of that on this Earth. – She smiled at him, her forehead resting on his. – Thanks to you.
Oliver's hand went for Kara's neck as he brought her closer to him, kissing her lips softly. He never felt that happy before, Kara's presence with him on his city made everything brighter and better, and people were noticing. There was a rumor that the Mayor were dating some new girl that nobody knew, who she was or what she did. They decided to let people wonder for now as they enjoyed each other's company.
They went back to the bunker and the rest of the team were all there. Felicity was done with the vertigo lab analysis and discovered there was a new compound that made people die faster.
- Now we need to find who's behind this even more. This is worse than the last time. – Oliver said feeling really angry. He hated that thing and how bad guys always managed to bring it back to his city, to destroy lives.
- I heard some people were affected and died in a matter of seconds... - Thea said as she looked worried at Oliver – This is beyond serious...
- I know!
- And we will find out... - Kara said as she looked at them. – We will, and we will stop them!
- Speaking of stopping people, I need your help husband!
Everyone looked at the door as they saw Nyssa Al Ghul storming in a furious way, looking at Oliver. Kara looked from that strange woman to Oliver, feeling really confused.
- Husband? – Kara said as she looked at the others.
- No time for explanations now, this is urgent. Husband? – Nyssa looked at Oliver with no patience. She hated to be kept waiting, especially in a serious matter like this one.
- Nyssa talks too much, as always! – Oliver turned to Kara – It's not like that... At all. I'll explain everything. I'm not married.
- But why... - Kara started when Oliver stopped her, kissing her fully on her lips and grabbing her hands.
- I love you, and I swear I'll explain later. Ok? – She looked at her in an apologetic way.
Kara didn't like that. Not at all. She knew there were some things in Oliver's life she didn't know but how could a woman enter his bunker and call him a husband if there was nothing really between them. And a really beautiful woman, as Kara could notice. Even so, she decided to give him some credit, so she smiled at him.
- Ok.
- Can we? – Nyssa said impatient.
Oliver turned around feeling impatient himself and walked towards Nyssa.
- How can I help you?
- The League of Assassins is back.
- WHAT? – Oliver, Diggle and Felicity asked out loud, their faces turning really serious and their eyes really wide.
- I disbanded them, but some really didn't like me, so they reunited and decided to take matters in their own hands. They got back to Nanda Parbat and are trying to kill me, since I was the last Ra's and I'm still alive... They don't even care the ring is gone, they want revenge.
- Lady, what do we have to do with this? – Reneé asked crossing his arms on his chest. He did not like that woman.
- Everything! – She said – They want revenge on me, and thanks to my connection with Oliver, they will come for him and his team.
They all looked at each other, worried.
- As if we haven't had enough problems! – Diggle said as he turned his back to them, walking to a chair and sitting down.
- Whoever they are we can deal with them! – Thea said
- No you can't! Don't you remember our last fighting?
- Well, I don't know what happened last time, but this time they have me! – Kara said as she stepped forward, standing right on Oliver's side.
- And what can you do to help? – Nyssa looked at Kara with doubt in her eyes.
- I'm so glad you asked! – Curtis said as he looked excited towards Kara.
- Nyssa, I think you should find out... - Thea commented as she looked at Oliver that gave her one of his "don't do it" looks.
Nyssa took her sword and looked smiling at Kara.
- Shall we?
- Sure – Kara smiled as she flew at super speed towards Nyssa.
Nyssa's blade hit Kara's arm and broke in half. The part that she still held, Kara took it, bending it like it was a piece of paper as she floated in the air.
- I'll not fight you by the way – Kara said as she looked at the thing in her hand, using her heat vision to melt it. She looked at Nyssa and gave her the base of the sword back.
Nyssa looked at Kara startled, not finding words to express what she felt with what she just saw. It was just... Incredible. Nyssa smiled at Kara.
- Nyssa, meet Supergirl. A badass hero and also Oliver's girlfriend.
- I think you should stop calling me husband – Oliver whispered at Nyssa with a funny look in his face.
Nyssa reached for Kara's hand and shook it.
- Nice to meet you, Supergirl. You are indeed powerful.
- And I'll be glad to also help you. – Kara smiled feeling her confidence back again. She was still a bit mad with that whole situation, but she decided to have patience and wait for Oliver's explanation.
Felicity came running towards them with a worried look on her face. Oliver looked at her feeling something was wrong, and that day couldn't get any easier.
- What? – Oliver asked as he looked at Felicity.
- Not that you need one extra problem to solve right now but... I just found out the rest of that organization is trying to keep with their work going on with the Vertigo and they might try to break the other free from jail. There was an attempt five minutes ago, but the police stopped them. They escaped.
- Oh... Great! – Oliver looked at the others – We may need to divide in two teams tonight... Diggle, Curtis and Thea you can handle the organization?
- Sure! – Thea said.
- I think Supergirl should come with us! – Curtis said as he looked to everyone – We don't know how many of them are there, I think...
- I could be a great help to avoid anything really bad that could happen – Kara said as she smiled at him – It's ok.
- So Dinah and Reneé comes with me! – Oliver pointed at the two of them.
As the team suited up and prepared for both missions, Oliver walked towards Kara, grabbing her hand with his. He kissed it as he looked deep into her eyes.
- Please, be careful! – Kara said as she reached for Oliver's cheeks, caressing it slowly – If you need anything, call me and I'll be there in a matter of seconds.
- I'll be – He said as he approached his face of hers, kissing her lips slowly.
Kara kissed him back as she hugged him, her hands going to his back.
- And don't worry. I'll call you if we need help. – He said looking at her worried face.
- Ok. – She smiled
- I'll tell you everything tonight, I promise you. Once we deal with that madness I'll tell you whatever you want to know!
- It's ok, Ollie. Just focus on the mission for now – She smiled once again and took a few steps back, turning away from him and going with half the team to stop those criminals.
Kara flew high in the sky, since she felt the need to be alone for a while as the others covered the ground. It was usually not easy to track gangs, but thanks to Kara's x-ray vision and super speed, they could find them quickly. Kara waited high above for the team to arrive and once she saw them coming and taking the gang by surprise, she landed on the ground and joined the fight. There was eight man against the four of them, but it was nothing Kara couldn't handle since all they got was guns and she was bullet proof. Diggle dealing with two of them, Thea fighting other two and Curtis dealing with one of them. Kara fought three of them using her super speed to punch and kick them so fast they never knew what hit them. Kara knocked two of them down as she took one of them and flew high in the sky. Diggle shot one guy in his shoulder and the other he took down hand in hand as he elbowed him on the guts. Thea shot three arrows directly to the backs of the man she was fighting in and Curtis used his toys to kick the guy's ass. Once they saw Kara carrying one of the man up in the sky, they froze, staring at them.
- Uh... What is she doing? – Curtis said as he looked up
- I believe she is questioning him... - Thea said
- This is not Kara... Something's wrong... - Diggle said as he notices Kara's mood different than it usually was. Kara did not believe in torture or anything like that to get answers.
Kara held the man by his arm as he shouted really frightened.
- You have two options! – Kara said as he looked pissed at him – Tell me your boss' name and where I can find him and about your organization or you get to know how the Moon feels like. Your choice!
- I...I can't... - The man pleaded as he looked down, really scared.
- I'm waiting... - Kara said strangely calmly as she went up a bit higher.
- Ok, Ok...
The guy told Kara what she asked after a while. Kara was not in the mood for a lot of violence so she decided to be practical, giving the guy a little scare so he could tell her everything. She was glad it worked, so she brought him back to the ground and just gave him a punch half strength, making the guy pass out on the floor.
- This time around, we can call the cops. – Thea looked at all of those guys on the floor.
- I know where their boss is and where to find her... - Kara said - Also about their organization...
- Her? – Thea asked.
- Yes.
- Well, let's go back to the bunker and wait for the others so we can plan what to do. – Reneé said as he popped up on his bike – Curtis said
- Kara? Can I talk to you? – Diggle asked with concern in his voice.
- Sure Dig... - She smiled
- I'm going to wait on the van with Curtis – Thea said as she dragged Curtis along with her.
Kara and Diggle sat on a bench on the sidewalk as he looked worried at her.
- Listen, I don't want to intrude or anything... I just couldn't help but notice you weren't yourself tonight... Is everything ok?
- Everything is great! – She gave him a weak smile.
- Somehow you are not convincing me...
- I... I don't know. I feel a bit mad.
- About the whole Nyssa thing? Just guessing here...
Kara looked at him thinking about what to answer. She was mad about the whole Nyssa thing? Yes. She had something against that woman? No. Nyssa sounded and seemed like a good person, a bit harsh, but with a good heart. She was just confused about it all... At least it was what she was telling herself.
- Maybe... I mean, I'm just confused. There's a lot about Oliver that I still don't know... And I felt kind of shocked with the news... I'm just trying to figure everything out.
- Listen, as someone who gets constantly pissed at Oliver, I can tell you this: trust him.
- I do... I trust him... What do you mean by getting constantly pissed at him?
- The thing you are confused about, in the past, made me get so furious at Oliver. I think he is the best person to explain it all to you, but what I can tell you is that it was not easy. Oliver had to do things for this city and he couldn't let us know, it would compromise his plan. He went beyond crossing the line with me and it took me a lot of time to trust him again. But then, I understood. I still think he crossed the line, but I understood.
- He said he will talk to me later...
- Just be patient. Oliver has a past with the League and not a pretty one. Talk to him later, he will explain to you.
- Thanks Dig! – Kara smiled at him
- No problem! If you ever need to talk... I know you don't know me that well, but I'm here anyways.
- That's ok. I trust you. Oliver sees you as his brother. I can see why now. I can see you guys have a great thing going on here, with all those heroes... This makes me think of my sister, and how I miss her...
- Did something happen to her?
- No. She is traveling with Legends...
- Sara and the others? – Diggle looked at her surprised.
- Yes. She's dating Sara now and she invited Alex to go for a while... I wonder how is she.
- Wow, this is some news... - Diggle said still surprised – But I can guarantee to you she is safe. Her team is a great one.
- I know. – She smiled as they went back to the bunker.
Oliver walked with Nyssa, Dinah and Reneé towards the place they thought the League was, an abandon large building that once belonged to Queen Industries. There was still a few of that around Star City and Olive was doing everything he could as Mayor to put those places to use, but he couldn't with this one.
- I'm sorry if I caused you any problem, it was a habit of mine calling you husband. The whole thing was annulled by the League's law. – Nyssa said as she walked besides Oliver.
- It's ok... And I'm glad to hear about it!
- I can see you truly love her.
- Yes, I do. And the last thing I want is to hurt her in any form. That's why I'm going to talk to her later, there's a lot about me that she still doesn't know. I was afraid of telling some things to her...
- What changed?
- She showed me she doesn't care about it, she believes I am a good person and that this bad stuff is all just part of my life, what helped me to get where I am today, but nothing more. She has seen evil, pretty bad stuff on her Earth... So I'm not afraid anymore.
- She's wise! And brings the best on you as I can see. You keep this one, Oliver Queen, don't mess things up!
- I won't – He smiles at Nyssa as they walk.
A bunch of masked guys with swords on their hands surprised them, attacking them all at once. Dinah filled her lungs with air and let go a loud canary cry that took down half that man, but others were standing and advancing to fight them. Reneé tried to shoot some of them with his gun but they were really good, and fast so they deflected the bullets easily. Oliver and Nyssa fought together the others shooting arrows and fighting hand in hand.
One of the league assassins managed to run behind Dinah and jab her back with a sword the same time he spun around, jumping towards Nyssa. As they fought, he managed to hit her as well. Oliver shoot a tranquilizer arrow, taking him down and the others by stealing the knocked guy's sword and cutting his shoulder. Dinah and Nyssa fell down, both in deep pain and bleeding.
- We need to bring them quickly to the bunker. – Reneé said as he took more assassins down, but got hit in the face by another.
Oliver shot his arrows at the others and the ones standing, escaped, running away. Olive turned his attention to Dinah and Nyssa as he tapped his comm.
- Kara? Babe? I need your help, fast. Nyssa and Dinah are bleeding, they need help.
In two seconds Kara was standing in front of them. She grabbed Nyssa and Dinah in both her arms as she smiled at Oliver.
- I'll make sure they are ok. – She said as she flew in super speed back to the bunker.
Oliver looked at Reneé, full of worries, but a bit calmer now he knew Kara had them. They turned around and went back to the bunker.
Kara arrived at the bunker in a hurry and laid Dinah and Nyssa on the table they had there for emergencies like that.
- They need medical attention... - Kara said as she looked at them
- We can't bring them to the hospital... Diggle, help me! – Felicity said as she searched the place for the right things as Diggle helped her.
It was a long hour that one. Oliver and Reneé arrived and Diggle and Felicity were still working on saving Nyssa and Dinah. They took care of their wounds as Oliver stepped up to help. The three of them worked hard and after a long time, they managed to control the situation and stabilize them. Oliver turned around after finishing stitching them both, sitting on a chair near the training area.
- I questioned one of those criminals we went after. I found out some stuff... - Kara said – Like who is their boss, where they hide...
- Amazing Kara! – Thea said as she hugged her
- Well done, babe – Oliver said as Kara sat next to him and he held her hand. – Who is responsible for this new Vertigo?
- A woman named Morella. They are part of an organization called S.P.I.D.E.R and they reunite near the docks, in a grotto.
Felicity ran to her computer as she started typing everything Kara was saying.
- Ok, they are terrorists, the Society for Political Instability and Diverted Economic Resources. The police are after them for a few months. They focus on arson, extortion, fraud, gambling, theft, assassination, terrorism and guess what? Drugs!
- I say let's go after them! – Reneé said.
- Only after Dinah and Nyssa recover. We still have some League members to find and lock away in Argus prison.
- Lyla called me and told me they arrested the ones you guys took down. They are moving them to the Island prison. – Diggle said as he watched Nyssa and Dinah waking up.
Nyssa sat on the table as she looked at her hands and arms. She put one of her hands on her wound and took a deep breath with her eyes closed. Once she opened them, she looked affectionately at Kara.
- Thank you, girl of steel. You are truly a formidable hero. I own you a lot, let me start by apologizing. – She walked to Kara as she reached her hand to the blonde.
- It's ok... The important thing is that you are ok now and safe. – Kara smiled as she looked at Dinah – And you too.
Dinah smiled back at Kara as she got up slowly, being helped by Diggle.
- I'll head home to recover guys, thanks for the help Kara. Diggle told me you saved us – Dinah smiled as she held Diggle's shoulder.
- I'll give her a ride – Diggle said as he left the room helping Dinah walk.
Thea offered to stay the night at Dinah's place, so in case she needed anything she wouldn't be alone, so it was just Oliver and Kara at the apartment. Kara was on the couch in her white tank top and comfy pants, trying to distract herself with the TV when Oliver got out of the shower wearing a blue shirt and a black sweat pants. He sat at Kara's side as she turned off the TV.
- I'm sorry – He said as he looked at her. – I know there's a lot of things I still need to tell you, I confess I was afraid before, but after all that we've been through, that fear is gone...
- It was a bit crazy to hear a woman, a beautiful one by the way, calling your boyfriend her husband...
- I was never actually married to her...
Kara rested her arm on the back of the couch as her legs were above Oliver's. He caressed her knees and tights with one hand as he held her free hand.
- It all began with Thea's father, Malcolm. He drugged Thea so she would murder Sara, it was the last time she died and we thought it was for good.
- What? Thea's real father made her kill Sara? Why a father would do that to his kid? – Kara looked horrified at Oliver.
- Malcolm was a vicious guy, he loved to have power and he was a coward. He would risk his own daughter's life like that to save himself. The thing is, there was this guy, Nyssa's father, he was the League leader known as Ra's Al Ghul. It's like a title for their leader. Malcolm was part of this league once, and when you get in the league, you only get out by getting killed. Malcolm managed to get free, but had a deal with Ra's. He broke that deal when he did the undertaking that wrecked the Glades, a neighborhood nearby.
- That was the day your friend died, right? Tommy?
- Yes. – He caressed Kara's hand – So Malcolm got the League's attention with that and he thought about the worst plan ever to get rid of them and save his life. He drugged Thea to kill Sara and recorded it. Then he came at me, asking for me to take responsibility for Sara's death, so I could challenge Ra's in combat. By League's law, if I did this and won, Ra's would have to surrender.
- But wait... What did Sara had to do with all of this? Why Malcolm had to kill her? – Kara looked at Oliver feeling really confused about that part.
- Oh... Well, Sara was Nyssa's girlfriend.
Kara looked surprised at Oliver, feeling way more confused.
- Yes. And since Sara was a former member of the League, Malcolm knew Ra's would want revenge. And he left me no choice, because he threatened to show the video to Ra's, so he would come after my sister. I had to protect her. So I did what he asked. When I went battle him, I lost. He fought me with one hand, took my weapons and stabbed me. I fell down a precipice and I died.
- This... Is what you told James in that training... About when the guy pushed you down a precipice after stabbing you... - Kara covered her mouth with one of her hands.
- Yes. I came back to life thanks to an old friend I met in Hong Kong. But, coming back to life cost me a lot. Ra's insisted for me to be his heir. That I had to accept his offer. He started creating havoc in my city, turning people and the police against the Green Arrow... And then he killed Thea. There is this thing called Lazarus Pit that has magical waters that can resurrect the dead. But it changes the person. And he said he would bring my sister back if I accepted his offer. So I thought about a plan.
- One that no one else knew about it?
- Yes, how do you know it?
- Diggle mentioned to me... About you pissing him off. He told me to talk to you so I could understand...
- Oh. – Oliver said thoughtful as he remembered fighting his best friend and the worst days of his life – It got ugly. I had to do things to convince Ra's I was on his side. He wanted me to forget who I was and accept this new life, so I had to do really terrible things. And the only person that knew Ra's and could help me bring him down from the inside was Malcolm. He wanted to be the new Ra's so I worked with him, in secret. The team got really pissed about that, especially because I kidnaped Diggle's wife. Ra's had to believe.
- Oliver! – Kara looked at him wide eyed – Now I understand why Diggle said he wanted to punch you.
- He did punch me.
- And this husband thing?
- Well, to be the new Ra's, I had to marry his daughter. Nyssa was pissed because she wanted to inherit his legacy. But Ra's threated her like garbage, because she was a woman. He knew his daughter loved Sara, and did not like men in a romantic way, so he forced her to marry me. Nyssa tried to kill me in the ceremony. And I had to play my part.
- What a horrible man! – Kara said as she felt anger inside her. She couldn't stand the thought of woman being forced to marry someone they did not like and to be mistreated cause of their gender. It was ridiculous and unacceptable.
- He was. The League had this tradition when a new Ra's came along, they had to burn down their home city and he wanted me to do it to Star City, release a bio weapon that would kill everyone. My plan worked, Nyssa and I managed to stop this along with the others and I killed him.
Kara listened to all of that feeling horrified. Oliver's dark past it was way beyond deep than she thought. She caressed his face as she got closer to him, climbing his lap as she sat, bringing his face with hers and kissing him.
- I'm so sorry – She said with her eyes full of tears – I'm sorry If I acted jealous or something like that.
- Babe, you don't need to apologize to me. – He whispered to her – I want to share everything with you, is just that... My life is so full of darkness, I didn't want to drop everything on you like that, they are really heavy stuff.
Kara straddled Oliver's lap as he talked. She rested her hands on his shoulders as she rested her forehead on his.
- I can handle! – She said looking serious at him as he attacked her lips with passion.
It was all Oliver needed to hear to know it. Kara was his rock, the one that brought life into his life when it was full of darkness. He felt so lighter and calmer when they were together. He felt like a better person as a hero, as a Mayor, as a man. He felt Kara pressing herself against him, letting a small moan come out of her soft lips. He pressed her waist with both his hands as she moved slowly against him, driving him nuts.
- By the way, jealous Kara is hot. – Oliver said smiling between their kiss.
- I knew you were loving that. – She laughed as she kissed him back, her tongue fighting for dominance against his.
- You make me feel loved – He looked at her as he held her chin with one of his hands - and wanted – He kissed her neck - and the happiest man alive. I can't help it
Kara's head fell back a little, giving Oliver more access to her neck as she closed her eyes, smiling. If only he knew she felt all of that and so much more with him. She looked back at him, her hands going through his wet hair.
- I just remembered I need a shower – Kara laughed as she kissed Oliver.
- No problem – Oliver said as he looked at Kara. – Let's do something about it.
She got out of his lap and Oliver got up, holding her hand and bringing her up with him as they kissed one more time. Oliver led her to the bathroom and she followed him, laughing. He opened the box of the shower and turned it on. He looked back at her as he took his shirt of, his pants following, staying only in his black underwear. Kara looked at him from head to toe as she felt a shiver down her spine. She couldn't get enough the fact that Oliver was so gorgeous inside and out. She smiled, blushing s she looked into his eyes.
- What are you doing? – Kara giggled as Oliver brought her closer by the hand, lifting her shirt up slowly.
- Taking you to the shower...
Oliver kissed the skin on her stomach he revealed as her shirt came up and off her. His lips went up her upper body slowly as he reached her cleavage.
- You already took one. – Kara closed her eyes, her hand still on his hair as she felt dizzy with the pleasure he was giving her.
- I don't mind another – Oliver said as he kissed her neck.
- I love you forever – She whispered into his ear.
Oliver smiled against her neck. That was not a horrible day, after all.
