"I don't care. I want a level one lockdown. No one gets in or out," I hear Lex say.

"Little late for that," Oliver says. "You got ten minutes to clear your people out of here before I blow this place off the map."

"You," Lex says.

"You remember. I'm touched."

"Oh, it's a little hard to forget. Last time we met, you put an arrow in my chest."

"You put a bullet in mine. Bygones?"

"Go to hell," Lex spits.

Oliver points his bow at Lex. "You first." He shoots the arrow, and he barely misses Lex's cheek, as it lands into a pipe.

As soon as he looks away, Oliver grabs my hand and we disappear down the hall.

"Can you superspeed," Clark asks.

"Yeah, I just need a minute to catch my breath."

"You know what? You're gonna have to catch it later. Aquaman, Cyborg, rendezvous alpha confirmed. Watchtower, have all of Luthor's people cleared the building?"

"The last heat signatures are moving away from the north."

"Wait a second. What are you doing," Clark asks.

"What do you think I'm doing? You want more of your friend's to end up in here?"

"Yeah, I'm voting no on that one," Bart says.

"Watchtower, are you sure everyone's out of the building," Clark asks.

"One hundred percent positive."

Clark sighs, looking at me. I nod, and he nods back. "Alright. Let's do it."

"Kent, your sister is amazing," A.C. comments.

"Better watch your words, fish stick. I think those two got feelings for each other," Victor comments making me roll my eyes. They head out of the room, and I walk over to the Oliver.

"I guess I'm the next one for a check up," he says.

"Gotta make sure you didn't sustain any damage," I shrug.

"I feel fine," he says.

"I'll be the judge of that."

He chuckles, leaning down and kissing me softly. I hear the boys whistle, and I flip them off, as we break apart. "So, why do I get the feeling you're leaving," I ask.

"'Cause I am. 33.1 labs are popping up all across the globe. Anywhere that has people with abilities," he sighs. "You know... you could always come with us. We could use someone with your abilities on the team."

"I know, but..."

"But what?"

"What if Clark needs me? I was sent down here to protect him. If I leave--"

"But that's not all you are. You may have been sent down here to protect him, but... you're so much more than just his sister. You may not have all the abilities he has, but... you're just as incredible as he is. Don't you wanna get out of Smallville for a while and do what I know you can do?"

"Of course, I do. I guess, I'm just..."

"Scared?"

"Yeah. I've never left Smallville before."

"Well, I'm asking you... not only as the Green Arrow, but also as Oliver Queen, come with me."
