Kara Danvers

"So let me get this straight," Alex sat down across from Kara the next night, both of them curled up in sweats and pajamas. "Just on a whim, you hopped over to this man's universe, barely knowing what you're getting into to help him?"

"Oliver is completely human, Alex," Kara told her. "Kryptonite doesn't exist on their Earth. And I would have helped him no matter what."

"Yeah," Alex sighed. "I believe that. Sounds like you're fond of him."

"Oliver and I are friends," Kara stressed, fiddling with her plate of potstickers. "I'm not . . . "

Alex smiled sadly. "Mon-El." Kara nodded, and Alex sighed, reaching over and patting her knee. "I'm sure he's fine, Kara."

"But he's stuck out there," Kara waved a hand. "And I'll probably never see him again."

"Never say never," Alex shook her head.

Kara leaned back into the couch. "Chase said that," she muttered. "I really should have just roasted him there and then."

Alex snorted. "I would have loved to have seen his face."

"Oh, it was amazing," Kara gushed, grinning widely. "I have never seen a person turn that red before!" Alex laughed, when there was suddenly a knock on the door. Frowning, Kara looked at Alex. "Did you order anything else?"

"No," Alex looked over the several pizza boxes scattered on the coffee table and the floor.

Kara frowned and walked over to the door, opening it. "Oh," she blinked. "Hi, James."

"Hey, Kara," he smiled, then held up an envelope. "This came into CatCo late tonight. Just had your name on it. I figured it was important."

Kara frowned, seeing her name on the front. "Thank you," she told him. "I'll be in tomorrow."

"Good," James snorted. "I think Snapper's about to fire you again."

"God, I hope not," Kara groaned. "Good night, James."

He simply nodded, and Kara closed the door, walking over to the table to open the envelope. "What is it?" Alex asked, standing up. "Anything inside?"

Kara narrowed her eyes, using her x-ray vision. "A letter," she answered, then blinked. "And a chip of some sort."

She quickly opened the envelope, then gasped when she saw the silver chip slide into her hand. "Whoa," Alex's eyes widened. "What is that?"

Kara dug in her pocket and pulled out her extrapolator, comparing the two. "Cisco made this," she realized.

"Barry's friend?" Alex asked.

She nodded and opened the letter, curious to see who had sent this to CatCo. As far as she knew, only three people from Earth-1 had ever set foot inside her workplace.

Kara,

I don't know how much time has passed on your Earth, but given how many lives you helped on Lian Yu, I wanted to tell you how everything has settled.

Samantha and William are doing well. Samantha is still not entirely comfortable with being in Star City, but she's adjusting. William still keeps asking about you, and I think he's still getting used to the fact that his father is the main vigilante here. Samantha might be worried I'll be a bad influence, but I've changed since she knew me before. I think she's finally starting to see that now.

Malcolm and Thea have been reconnecting, though it's going slowly. I think they're both surprised they've gone this long without any major fighting between them. He'll be staying in Star City under the radar. Did I ever mention he's supposed to be dead? In any case, they both send their thanks – again.

Black Siren is staying with Quentin. It's no surprise that he's the best influence for her. According to her, Chase promised he wouldn't hurt Quentin. Now, whenever he's back at home, she sticks to him constantly. I don't know if she'll ever go into the field, but she's starting to be like the Laurel I knew she could be.

Slade left the day after you did to start tracking down Joe. He's promised not to be gone forever. I think he means it, too. I think he was right, that the mirakuru might finally be gone. I might finally be able to get my brother back.

I don't know when this will get to you, Kara, but I had Cisco make this chip as soon as possible. Like your extrapolator, it has the ability to contact us on Earth-1. Several of our numbers are programmed in, and the moment the chip is in your phone, it will download your number into the phones that have a matching chip in it.

Kara tore herself away from the letter for a moment to fumble with her phone, taking off the back. Alex watched as Kara fit the chip in, then reattach the back. When she flipped it over, her phone beeped before saying it was downloading. When Kara checked her contacts, she smiled brilliantly when she recognized a few names. Oliver and Cisco were the first two she noticed, followed by John, Thea, Felicity, and Iris.

Smiling, Kara picked up the letter to finish.

I meant what I said, Kara. I owe you a large debt, and no matter what you say, I intend on making that up to you some day. So, no matter what you need me for, no matter who or what you're facing, I will not let you down.

Oliver

"So?" Alex asked as Kara set the letter aside, a fond smile on her face. "Who was it?"

"A friend," Kara answered with a beam, picking up her phone. "A once in a lifetime friend."


Oliver Queen

The buzz of his phone was nearly covered by the chatter around Oliver's office. He politely excused himself from his current discussion to check his phone, wondering in irritation why a member of his team was contacting him.

Except, he realized when he pulled up the text message, it wasn't a member of his team.

Thank you.

It was two words, but Oliver knew who it was. With a smile on his face, he tapped out the reply to send before going back to work as mayor of Star City.

You're welcome.


A/N: To be continued in "Won't Let You Down," which will definitely be Kariver. :) That book should be up by the end of the day because I just finished it yesterday, so keep an eye out!
