Big team-up versus Metallo, and Kara reunites with her Oliver . . . ish.

Enjoy!

Seething, Oliver stepped over the broken glass on the floor, reaching up for Kara's mask. He gently removed it, cupping her face. "We have a problem," he told her softly. "I need you to wake up, Kara."

Thawne sped into the room, and Oliver tensed, turning to him. "The General is no longer safe here," he said.

"I'm well aware," Oliver narrowed his eyes. "Retreat to the troop carrier and prepare for the invasion."

"Without you?"

"I'm staying," Oliver growled. "Supergirl is not leaving here alive!"

"Do not make it personal," Thawne warned. "That is not a good idea."

"Are you questioning your Führer's orders?" a voice asked coldly.

Both looked down to see Kara glaring at Thawne. "Of course not," Thawne finally said, then tilted his head. "General."

Kara scowled at him, and Thawne took his cue to speed off. Oliver walked to her side, squeezing her hand. "Stay here," he told her. "Stay safe." He narrowed his eyes. "And I'll be back for you with her heart."

Kara nodded slightly, and Oliver stormed off, reaching for his comms to call Malcolm and Slade.

"So this is Earth-1," Leo mused, looking around as they walked out of the breach. "Cute."

"We need to find Kara," Alex said.

"Then we need to split up," Oliver turned. "Sara, Thea, Leo, get Malcolm to the Waverider. Barry, Ray, Firestorm, Siren, find the others. Slade, Alex, keep an eye out for your doppelgänger and Malcolm's."

"I got Supergirl!" Palmer said over the comms.

"I got Group B," Nate answered, turning as everyone got their weapons back.

"You're late," Mick grumbled.

"Ah, don't mind him," Dinah growled. "He's just pissy 'cause he came out of a steel box."

"Actually, he's always like this," Amaya smirked.

"Why does that not surprise me?" Lena glowered, making Harry snort.

The glass shattered above them, and Nate spun around, holding up his energy gun as Rene drew both his pistols. Zari balked when she saw the giant metal robot standing up, its centerpiece glowing green. "What the hell?!"

"Metallo?" James's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Who now?" Cisco blinked.

"I hate this guy," Lena narrowed her eyes.

Winn peeked through the doorway, then turned as Ray helped Kara up the stairs. "How much further?" he asked.

"Waverider's on the roof," he answered.

"So how did you get involved in all this?" Winn asked, taking Kara's other arm. "I mean, aside from the fancy techy suit."

"I used to date Felicity."

"Oh," Winn blinked. "That's . . . awkward."

"Ah!" Kara hissed as they walked down a set of stairs.

"Careful!" Winn adjusted his hold on her.

"Yeah, Oliver got the girl, I got a life of adventure on a time-traveling spaceship," Ray nodded.

"About that," Kara began.

Before she could finish, there was a thud, and Ray's suit suddenly shorted out, and Winn yelped as Ray collapsed. They spun around, and Kara blanched as Black Arrow lowered his bow, his eyes narrowed. "Step away from her," he ordered.

Winn swallowed, then placed himself firmly in front of Kara. "There's no way."

"Winn," Kara began softly.

"No!" Winn gave her a sharp look before turning back and taking a deep breath. "I haven't defended my best friend at every chance I can get just to see her be butchered by Nazis and leave this planet to you, so if you want Kara, you got to go through me. And even if you do, you're not gonna win. Because her Oliver, her Slade and Malcolm, and everyone else that loves her and cares for her? We will keep fighting. So get the hell off this Earth while you still can!"

Tears filled Kara's eyes as Winn stood up for her, and she gently took his hand, giving him her support. Black Arrow just smirked. "As final words go, those weren't bad," he remarked, drawing an arrow and aiming at Winn's heart.

"Lower your weapon!"

Black Arrow tensed, and Kara nearly collapsed in relief. Winn chanced a glance to the side, and he inhaled sharply as Oliver, their Oliver, stepped into the room, arm tight around Overgirl's chest, one of his arrows pressed against her throat. "Or I'll kill her," he threatened.

Black Arrow narrowed his eyes, turning to check on his wife –

And Kara yanked. Winn yelped as he was pulled to the floor, and Black Arrow quickly turned back, only for Kara to plant her foot on Winn's chest, keeping him down as she put herself in front of him. She took a deep breath, standing straight. "Now it's not him you're gonna hit if you fire that arrow," she held her chin high.

"Go!" Harry pushed Lena away from Metallo as he fired a blast of Kryptonite at them. "Go, go, go!"

Lena covered her head as she ran behind one of the metal tables, Harry and James behind her, as neither of them were armed. Metallo turned and fired a ray at Amaya, who skidded on the floor to cover. Dinah growled from where she was hiding with Cisco, glaring at Metallo. "This guy's like the Terminator!" Startled laughter came from her other side, and Dinah turned to look incredulously at Cisco. "Why are you laughing?!"

"I just love a good pop culture reference in a moment of crisis," he giggled, then pointed past her. "Also, that!"

Dinah spun around as a burst of fire flew past her, and Firestorm hovered in the air next to a glowing man in a black suit, Barry running past them and scaling the walls, zipping around the room, gaining speed. All three of them started using their powers on Metallo, keeping him in place.

Dinah turned to see Caitlin on the opposite side of the room, and she nodded firmly. Caitlin nodded back, her eyes starting to turn silver, her hair starting to turn white. Cisco grinned as Dinah rushed out of cover, and he yelled, "Let's kick some ass!"

Caitlin came out from behind cover just as Laurel ran into the room, and as Mick fired his heat gun, she screamed at the top of her lungs, letting out all the pent-up emotions she had from Earth-X out. Dinah's cry joined hers as Nate fired his energy gun, Cisco his energy blasts, and Caitlin her frost powers.

With all of them combined, just like what happened with Cyborg Superman, Metallo was down for the count, its head flying into the air.

"Kara," Oliver began.

"I'm not invulnerable, I know that," Kara interrupted, looking at Black Arrow. "But I've learned not to rely on my powers for everything now. I'm fast enough that if you try and hurt Winn, I can move and make sure that arrow goes in my heart."

"Kara, no!" Winn cried.

"Either he backs off and lets us go, or he risks killing me, which kills her," Kara spoke loudly over him. "He doesn't win!" She took a deep breath. "He doesn't win," he repeated quietly.

"Kara," Oliver whispered. "Don't do this."

Kara swallowed, licking her lips and curling her hands into fists. "What's it gonna be?"

Black Arrow narrowed his eyes, then lowered his bow. Unable to believe that had worked, Kara blinked, and Oliver started to lower his arrow –

A pitch black arrow slammed into Oliver's shoulder, and with a yell of pain, he dropped Overgirl and the arrow he held, reaching for the arrow that had just hit him, Overgirl immediately dropping to the ground. Black Arrow spun to aim at Oliver, bow raised again.

A gunshot sounded out simultaneously, and Kara turned her head just in time to see a figure in black and red come around the corner. She threw herself over Winn, twisting her body in a way she never would have been able to do had Oliver not taught her.

The bullet the Terminator fired, which would have hit Winn in the heart, tore through Kara's abdomen, and with a piercing wail of pain, she collapsed on top of her friend. "No!" Winn yelled.

And all hell broke loose.
