Was this yet another attack on our great nation or was it yet another attack by once one of our own?

When we get late breaking details we will do our best to bring them as quick as we can to you. What is known is from recent reports the president along with his staff were aboard the aircraft this afternoon.

I repeat it is reported that the president along with his staff were aboard Air Force One since this late afternoon but these reports have yet to be confirmed…."


Tearing her eyes away from the television broadcasts that could be seen on every single television screen across the city keeping her hand gently gripped within his own allowing him to pull her along through the city as she looks on from citizen to citizen to see a mixture of emotions coming across each of their faces with the main one being fear especially from what she is hearing from their hushed conversations amongst themselves keeping her face blank despite the overwhelming feeling of truly feeling happy for the first time in her life slowly Kara continues to follow after Oliver as he leads her through the city towards their destination.

Towards their last stop of the day before they would head home for the evening. A building that she had never been in before but knew her companion dreaded going to.

Queen Consolidated. A company with a rich history. A history of being one of the most successful weapon's companies in the entire world.

A company that had been built from the ground up by the Queen family. A company that still remains strong despite recent events that have taken place.

A company that they would continue to build its legendary legacy. Just not in the way some people would think.

Keeping her face blank of any emotions turning away from another gossiping crowd and over towards a nearby building as she sees her reflection through the glass letting out a huff slowly Kara shakes her head before she turns her head back forward to see Oliver looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

" I hate wearing this disguise."

Nodding his head in understanding gently Oliver gives her hand a squeeze before slowly he maneuvers her around a small crowd gathered outside of a pawn shop.

" I know but it's only for a little while longer. Once we have found what we are looking for than we can ditch the disguise and let everyone see the beautiful woman that you are. Besides there is benefits to this."

" Oh? And what might those be?"

" You look really cute in your business attire. Though i do prefer the blonde hair."

Feeling her lips curling up into a wide smile leaning over gently Kara pecks Oliver on the cheek before she leans over and whispers into his ear.

" Then i think i'll have to keep it for special occasions now won't i?"

Feeling her nibbling gently on his ear letting out a chuckle giving her hand a squeeze to only receive one in return turning his head back forward instantly as he sees The Queen Consolidated building a short distance away Oliver comes to a stop and looks up towards the building with a blank expression across his face.

Instantly seeing the change in his facial features taking a quick glance towards the building in question than back towards Oliver leaning over gently Kara wraps her arms around his arm.

" Hey? Everything is going to be okay."

Gently trailing a hand up his hand to his face gently Kara steers his head towards her before she locks eyes with him.

" I know that this is hard for you. It was the same for me when my cousin died. We are only here to do what needs to be done and once we've accomplished this then we never need to come back here.

Hell i'll burn this entire city to the ground if need be. Just hold on for a little while longer. For me. Okay?"

Staring into her eyes seeing nothing but worry radiating from them nodding his head slightly without any hesitation leaning forward gently Oliver presses his lips to her own as he feels her hand automatically wrapping around the back of his neck.

" What did i ever do to deserve you?"

Feeling her face breaking out in a bright smile leaning forward gently Kara rests her head against his own.

" By just being you."

Staring into her eyes seeing nothing but honesty radiating from them flashing her a quick smile breaking off eye contact to look back towards the building taking a deep breathe slowly with a gentle nudge Oliver leads Kara over in the direction of the building.

Keeping her eyes trained on his face seeing his eyes constantly glancing around as if searching for any sort of danger unable but to do the same turning away from his face and back forward slowly Kara glances around seeing numerous men and women that she deemed to be news reporters outside of the building making their way over towards them keeping her face blank and her feet moving without so much as looking at him slowly Kara feels herself being lead away from the reporters into the entrance of the building while countless reporters start to fire off rapid questions off at her.

A scene that instantly causes a small headache to start to build up before once they are inside of the building and into an elevator just moments later she lets out a sigh in relief causing a silent chuckle to come from her side.

" Still don't like reporters huh?"

" Not even in the slightest. It was one thing when Lois was doing the reports since she was dating my cousin but when it came to everyone else."

Letting out a shiver slowly Kara shakes her head.

" Have you been in contact with her? Ever since…."

Letting out a sigh slowly Kara shakes her head as she feels her hand being gently squeezed.

" I haven't even bothered. From what i've seen she has moved on. I started to question what her true intentions were with my cousin.

From everything that i have seen, I keep thinking that she was using him in order to move up in the world of journalism."

Shaking her head slowly Kara turns her head to look over towards Oliver to see him looking at her with concern before she flashes him a quick smile.

" I'll find out soon enough. I have a couple of errands that i will need to run in the next couple of days anyways."

Casually shrugging her shoulders as she hears the famialur ding of the elevator signaling they have arrived at their destination giving his hand a gentle tug slowly she starts to lead him out of the elevator and down the floor.

" Errands?"

" Just some loose ends that need to be dealt with."

Seeing Oliver nodding his head out of the corner of her eye returning the nod as she looks around the floor to see countless workers stopping what they are doing to look over in their direction with mixture of emotions from shock to even some with envy coming from a few of the female population feeling her lips curling upward coming to a complete stop in the middle of the floor turning to her side without giving him a chance to react reaching out in a swift move Kara brings Oliver into a deep kiss catching him by surprise before after a few seconds as she feels him returning the kiss cracking open her eyes seeing most of the female population glaring over at her breaking off the kiss Kara flashes a flabbergasted Oliver a smile.

Taking a quick glance around seeing angry glares being directed their way feeling his lips curling upward leaning forward softly whispers into Kara's ear.

" You are such a tease."

Letting out a giggle pulling her head back slightly to look him in the eye slowly Kara shakes her head.

" Just marking my territory that's all."

Suppressing the urge to let out a chuckle shaking his head reaching out gently Oliver takes her hand within her own as he locks eyes with Kara.

" Then let's give them a show that they'll remember."

Instantly without giving her a chance to react as he gets down onto one knee causing gasps to echo all around him staring deep into Kara's teary eyes a small smile slowly comes across Oliver's face.

" Kara Kent? Would you do the honor of being my wife? Once we are done here i'll buy you whatever ring you would like."

Nodding her head vigorously kneeling down next to him reaching down gently Kara wraps her arms around the back of his neck and gently presses her lips to his own earning a few cheers and claps from everyone around them.

" I love you."

" And i love you Mrs Queen."

Feeling her face breaking off into a wide smile leaning forward gently Kara presses her lips once again to his own before after a few seconds as she feels him pulling back to whisper something into her ear that instantly makes a shocked expression come across her face leaning her head back Kara locks eyes with him.

" Are you sure?"

Only receiving a nod in response as a bright smile breaks across her face giving his hands a gentle tug slowly Kara rises up to her feet and glances around at every single female in the area that is looking towards her with forced smiles.

" In case anyone here as any ideas on ever trying to seperate us."

Reaching up in a swift move Kara pulls off her wig and unties her hair causing gasps to be heard echoing through the room before as she takes off her glasses and flicks them away causing loud screams as well as hushed conversations to instantly start a feral grin comes across Kara's face.

" You will have to go through me. The Girl of Steel. The last daughter of Krypton and make no mistake about it, I will kill you."

Glancing all around the room seeing everyone that she lays her eyes upon stepping back in fear hoping to avoid her gaze with a satisfied smile coming across her face turning on her heels slowly Kara leads Oliver through the floor with her head held up high as everyone quickly moves out of the way allowing them a clear path.

" Well that was….unexpected."

Coming to a sudden halt looking over towards the side as she sees Isabel leaning up against the far end wall with her arms crossed and a small smile threatening to break across her face returning the smile slowly Kara makes her way over towards her.

" Let me be the first to congratulate you on your engagement. Word of advice Oliver. Next time do so in a smaller setting. These people are….well i think you can see for yourself."

Receiving a nod in response returning the nod uncrossing her arms from her chest reaching out gently Isabel gestures towards her office.

" Shall we?"

Nodding her head giving Oliver's hand a gentle squeeze slowly Kara leads him inside of the office and takes a seat as she hears Isabel closing the office door before she watches her take a seat behind the office desk.

" How are things coming along?"

Feeling her lips curling up into a smile threading her hands together Isabel leans back in her seat.

" Better than we could have ever expected. It seems that a certain Mrs Queen had already started to experiment with certain aspects that we are hoping to achieve.

As it turns out after doing some digging there had been a contract written out between Queen Consolidated and a certain United States government group that had been wiped off the map."

With a smile coming across her face as she gives Oliver's hand a squeeze Kara leans forward out of her seat.

" And what of our guest of honor?"

" Everything is going according to plan."


Feeling nothing but intense fear for the first time in his life as he remains seated in a metal chair with each of his hands and legs bound together while a blindfold is over his face engulfing his world into total darkness suppressing the urge to let out another scream in hopes that someone would hear him sitting in total silence the president listens in for even the slightest movement coming from all around him.

Movement that told him that he was somewhere underground. Somewhere with broken pipes if the constant dripping told him anything.

But that wasn't the only thing that was dripping. Dripping into a puddle beneath his chair. A puddle formed with a mixture of substances.

A puddle that has only gotten bigger through the countless hours. Maybe even days. He couldn't remember of constant torture. Of constant questioning.

Questions that he knew he couldn't answer. Questions he desperately tried to avoid answering. But the pain was too much.

Pain that first started with blows coming across his face and stomach. Blows that would only intensify once his captor would introduce to him what he called his toys.

Toys that have done some serious damage to his body. Fingers and toes now broken by the end of a hammer whenever he refused to answer a question. A heavily bruised rib cage with what he could only guess also came with some internal bleeding that were the result from a crowbar being repeatedly swung at him as though it was a baseball bat.

Injuries that have caused numerous cuts to be opened all across his body to only bleed out to the cold ground below. A ground that he now knew to be covered with his sweat,blood,and unfortunately urine.

A smell that has been with him through the constant hours possibly days he has been down here. But would it ever end?

Suddenly as he hears the sound of a door creaking opening trying his best to control from shaking in fear despite his body's wishes slowly with wide eyes the president listens to a pair of boots slowly getting closer and closer to him before a few moments later he hears the footsteps stop just next to his side and he feels a small breathe against his exposed neck causing a shiver to run up and down his spine.

" It's time to wake up Mr President."

Reaching up instantly as he pulls the blindfold off the president's head to only see him squirming under the dim light hanging over them feeling his lips curling up into a grin reaching down Slade retrieves a knife from his armor before he brings it up under the older man's chin causing him to see him shiver from the contact.

" I have some more questions that need to be answered. The quicker you answer the less pain you will feel."


Tick….tock….tick….

A constant sound that would often invaded her thoughts. A sound that has stayed with her for countless nights. Through lonely nights inside of her cell. Her new home.

A home ever since that night. The night the police had come for her. Had come when evidence of her involvement with the most memorable event in Starling City's history.

An event that had cost her everything. Cost her a husband. A husband that had been lost out to see. Cost her the latest man in her life. A man that had been kidnapped in an attempt to make sure she held up her end of the bargain.

A man who would be shortly found dead with his throat slash and what deemed to be signs of torture all across his body.

But most important of them all it had cost her very children. A daughter that she watched grow up into a fine young woman to only have to deal with the heartbreak of hearing that her daughter had died on the operating table.

A daughter that was quickly followed by a son. A son that at her daughter's funeral looked towards her with nothing but hatred. Hatred that was like a knife into her already shattered heart.

A look that has lead her to this. Inside of her cell. No fight needed. No defense for what she had done. Instead she would pay for her crimes in hope her time would come sooner rather than later.

Staring at her blank ceiling for what deemed to be hours despite her cell's overhead light going out mere hours ago letting out a sigh slowly Moira closes her eyes hoping that tonight's dreams will not be filled with nightmares.

Suddenly as she hears the sound of alarms blazing through the prison usually meaning from her time there some sort of ill attempt at a prison break is taking place letting out a huff reaching out Moira grabs a hold of her pillow and buries her head in it hoping to ignore the alarms.

Instantly as she hears the sounds of screams echoing through the once quiet hallways followed by gunfire snapping up to a sitting position Moira's eyes go as wide as saucers as she listens in closely to the action outside of her cell.

Action that seems to only be getting closer with every passing moment as the gunfire slowly starts to cease to exist until only the sound of footsteps echoing off the walls can be heard.

Footsteps that for some odd reason sends a chill up and down her spine. Footsteps that she feels are heading straight for her. Footsteps that she can hear stop nearby.

Instantly as she sees a blonde haired woman come to a stop just outside of her cell to only turn her head to look inside with an almost predatory grin as her glowing blue eyes stare back at her that sends a chill up and down her spine keeping her eyes locked on the mysterious woman slowly Moira scoots further away on her cot to where her back hits up against the cold wall as she sees the woman advancing towards her to only be stopped by the cell's bars.

Keeping her eyes locked on her prey reaching up as she grips the bars with her right hand to only see a curious look quickly flash across Moira's face before she gives her a chance to react in a swift move Kara rips off the bars of the cell and flicks them carelessly over her shoulder as she sees a horrified look come across the older woman's face.

" Moira Queen?"

Taking a few steps inside of the cell seeing only Moira back peddling even more within a flash Kara races over to raise the older woman up by the throat as her blue eyes lock with the terrified woman's own.

" You have failed this city."

Just as the words register into her mind instantly Moira's world goes black when with the press of her thumb instantly Kara snaps the older woman's neck.


5 years later….

Keeping his face masked of any emotions remaining perfectly still in his chair as he holds a delicate hand within his own while his wife does the same on the opposite side of the bed trying his best to keep the tears from coming Oliver stares down at the small bundle wrapped up in a few blankets.

" Mommy? Daddy?"

Instantly as she gives her daughter's hand a gentle squeeze Kara forces a smile across her face before she reaches over and stroke's her daughter's hair with her free hand.

" Am i going to die?"

Blinking away the stinging sensation in his eyes giving her hand a gentle squeeze causing the young blonde haired girl to look towards him slowly Oliver shakes his head.

" No beautiful. You're not going to die. Mommy and I will never allow that to happen. I need you to hold on a little while longer. We'll find a way to cure you. I promise."

Rising up from his seat leaning over gently Oliver kisses his daughter's forehead before with a gentle squeeze he lets go of her hand and makes his way over towards Kara's side to see her doing the same.

" Get some sleep darling. Your father and i will be nearby."

Gently taking a hold of her arm as Oliver slowly leads Kara out of the massive bedroom once the door is closed instantly as he hears his wife letting out a sob reaching out gently Oliver pulls her into an embrace as he lets the tears he had been holding back flow down his cheeks.

" Why!? Why did it have to be her!? She's innocent!"

Gently holding onto his wife allowing her to cry into his shoulder as he continues to rub soothing circles across her back leaning down gently Oliver rests his head against her own.

" We found her."

Instantly Oliver looks over his shoulder to see Isabel making her way over in her Ravager gear.

" The information about the rebel device proved to be accurate. We scanned other dimensions and found your wife's unique signature in another dimension. We've labeled it as Earth X."

Breaking away from Oliver's embrace slightly with a determined look coming across her face Kara locks eyes with Isabel.

" How soon can…."

" It's already been done. Slade is rounding up our forces to lead the attack as we speak."
