NOTES: I reorganized the fic and posted again the chapters all in order.
Hey there visitor going by Ceps that left me a really rude review: The reason why I posted the first 2 chapters as notes was because I wanted my readers to participate and help me build the story. I post what I write here, in Wattpad and AO3, and in all sites I got great ideas from people. I like making my readers feel included, participating on the proccess. This is not just my story, is OUR story (not u of course). If u don't like something, u have the right to it, what u don't have the right to is to come in my story and tell me how I need to do things. I am aware of the rules here in , and since my story has more chapters than just notes, they were ok with it. Be nicer next time u review something! I will keep including my readers, asking their opinions and their ideas!
Now to everyone else: I forgot chapter 4 before posting chapter 5 lol. So here it is, hope u like it!
And thanks for the support guys, it's been hard to deal with anxiety, some days I feel better, other days not so much... But I have faith everything will be ok.
Chapter 1
Bare footsteps in the snow barely made any sound that cold night. She was wrapped around a brown blanket, the wind playing with her eyes as her curious eyes looked at the huge building in front of her, a few man working outside. One of them pointed a flashlight to her face as she tried to avoid that weird light almost blinding her eyes. It all felt so weird.
And suddenly, everything went black out of nowhere.
- Are you sure you don't want me to send anyone from the team? – Oliver heard Diggle's voice on the phone. As usual, he was beyond worried about Oliver traveling alone in a mission for Argus.
- Yes, Dig. I can handle it.
- I don't trust that guy.
- Me neither. But it's ok. I can handle him!
Oliver parked his rented car in front of a huge dark building and got out of it, never taking his eyes from the huge building. Something didn't feel right about it, Oliver thought while he walked in. There was a security guard at the door and Oliver identified himself. The man tried to block his entrance but a familiar voice came from far away.
- Let him in!
- Ok sir! – The guard said, changing his tone suddenly and letting Oliver in.
- Anatoly! – Oliver nodded with his head.
- Oliver! – Anatoly nodded back and turned around, walking away – Follow me!
Oliver followed Anatoly until they reached the end of a long corridor. Anatoly opened the last door and mentioned for Oliver to go inside. Anatoly closed the door behind him and sat on a couch. Oliver stood still.
- As usual… - Anatoly said, noticing Oliver not move a single finger.
- I like being cautious and aware!
- Of what, my friend?
- You!
- Do I need to ask why are you here, so far away from Star City?
- Argus asked me a favor!
- And naturally you are obeying.
- I'm not obeying! I'm doing a favor for a friend!
- What do you want? – Anatoly crossed his arms.
- They know you are experimenting something… A new kind of weapon. I'm here to stop you.
Anatoly let a small laugh out.
- Oliver, Oliver! Who told you such a lie?
- It's not a lie! They have proof.
- Listen… Thanks to you, I could bring Bratva back to its old ways. We are doing nothing harmful, I can assure you.
- Nuclear explosions, strange attacks, trucks turned upside down on roads and its stuff stolen… Nothing harmful, are you sure?
- You know how business are…
- This is not business, Anatoly. Those are crimes!
- Listen, I…
Anatoly was about to say something when the door exploded open and a whoosh of strong air came in. Everything happened really fast and out of nowhere, a blonde woman in a dark teared up suit held Anatoly's neck and lifted him up in the sky as if it was nothing. Oliver got up after being knocked down by that brutal entrance and looked perplexed.
How it was possible that she was here right now? And that violent?
- Kara?
Anatoly tried to breathe but Kara held him a bit stronger than before. She looked at Oliver with confused eyes.
- Who are you and how do you know my name?
- Kara… It's me Oliver…
- I don't know you!
She turned her attention back to Anatoly.
- I'm not going to be part of this anymore, do you understand?
- How… you…
- DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
- Kara, let him go. He can't talk with you strangling him like that.
Kara dropped Anatoly on the ground, looking furious at him.
- I want to be free, I don't want to conquer the world. I won't help you do it anymore! I'm leaving!
- Anatoly, what's going on? – Oliver asked as he felt even more confused about all of that. He looked at Kara, and suddenly he suspected what was wrong with her. – I can't explain right now, but you can trust me. Are you ok?
- I will be as soon as I get out of here. Even if I have to kill him!
Oliver then had sure it wasn't the Kara he knew. Kara from Earth 38 would never be this violent, would never kill. He now more than ever, wanted to know what happened and which Kara was the one standing before him. He wasn't that used to multiverse and doppelgangers as he thought he was.
- Anatoly, release her!
- No way! She is our biggest…
- Weapon? – Oliver crossed his arms. – So that is your secret weapon? A person?
- She is an alien!
- I know.
- How? – Kara and Anatoly asked at the same time.
- I just know… - He said still looking angry at Anatoly. – You will release Kara into my custody or I will send Argus here… And you won't like it. I am giving you a chance to stay alive and free to do whatever you want, if you let Kara go.
- And who told you I'm coming with you? – Kara crossed her arms – I'm flying far away from here.
She was about to turn her back to him when Oliver reached for her.
- Please… Wait! I will tell you everything, just please trust me. You need to come with me.
- I won't let you go, I'm sorry Oliver. What we do here is beyond important and…
Oliver grabbed an arrow from inside his jacket and literally threw at the wall next to Anatoly. The arrow exploded, creating a smoke. Oliver looked quickly at Kara.
- You know what to do!
Kara nodded with her head and flew towards Anatoly, using her heat vision on his shoulder. She turned her back to him as he screamed, grabbing Oliver and flying far away from there.
Kara landed in an empty field, dropping Oliver from her grasp. Oliver fell to the ground and got up quickly. Kara just crossed her arms.
- How do you know my name? Why you thought I knew you?
- This is crazy, I know… I thought at the first time I heard it, but the thing is… There is a multiverse, and I know a version of you… From another universe. Another Earth.
Kara stood in silence looking at the ground. There was so much about her she never understood, and as much as she tried, she failed every time. She looked at the ground, trying to make those flashes on her mind to make any sense. They always appeared in her dreams after her training. Somehow she believed in Oliver.
- I know people that can help you. I also can help you, if you let me.
- I don't know if I can trust you, yet… But, you did help me get out of there… So ok, I will go with you.
- Time to go home, then!
