The Storm After

Chapter 4: What's Going On?

Several days had passed since Kara's arrival at Star City. She made herself more acquainted with the city whilst Oliver was tending to his duties as Mayor. She had decided to stop by Central City to check in with Barry and the rest of Team Flash. While she was there, Kara discovered that he was dealing with a new foe called Devoe. He was a threat that Barry had never faced before. Barry had no idea what Devoe had planned for him but was confident he would stop him. Kara had offered to help but Barry refused and insisted he had it under control. She respected his wish and bid farewell to the Team before making her way back to Star City.

Meanwhile back in Star City, Oliver was waiting outside a building. He had told Kara to meet him there when she was done in Central City. He had a few hours to spare and decided it was an appropriate time to show it to Kara. That was the plan, but Kara was running late and hadn't shown up yet. He checked his watch to realise it had been 20 minutes past 1. He was about to think she wouldn't show up until he heard a voice hailing from his left.

"Hey!" Kara shouted as she was sprinting. She was doing it normally however to maintain normalcy. She came to a stop in front of Oliver. "Whoo... sorry, I'm late. I kinda got lost."

"Again... you guys have super speed but somehow end up late." Oliver said. He let out a sigh before continuing. "Alright, well at least you're here. Let's go." He turned around to go inside and Kara followed suit.

When Kara stepped inside, she saw a normal interior of an office building. She began to wonder what Oliver had wanted to do here. They came to stop in front of a wall.

"Uh... What are we doing here?" Kara asked, confused at what she was supposed to see. Oliver said nothing but then moved his hand to push a button. The wall began to open up revealing an elevator. Kara's jaw drops and couldn't help but get excited. "Oh my god! Is this what I think it is?!" Kara shouted as she got excited and walked inside. She looked back at Oliver who gave a nod. He got inside as well, his hands behind his back. She saw he had a very a prideful smile on his face. He looked like one of those people showing off his toys. The elevator descended and reached its destination. She walked out with Oliver behind her. The room she entered was filled with various computers, equipment and everything else that screamed secret lair.

"Wow...! So this is your secret hideout?" Kara said, her head turning to admire various things. "What'd you guys call this, the Arrow Cave?" She had turned to look at Oliver who was quick to interject.

"We don't call it that..." Oliver said quickly in response to her question. Kara could see that he wasn't very fond of the name. "I just call it the loft." Kara gave a nod to signal she had understood. She turned around to see Diggle and Felicity were already set up there. They came down to greet the two of them.

"Oh! Kara, hey! Welcome to the Arrow Cave!" Felicity said, coming in to give her a hug. Kara turned her head to Oliver to see him shaking his head. She gave a quick chuckle before John came in for a hug as well. "Oliver said you were in town. How does it look?"

"It looks amazing! I mean the place looks very high tech and equipped!" Kara answered. They had begun to walk around to show her the place.

"Yes, we had a lot of help from Barry and the others at S.T.A.R labs," Oliver said They had walked up the stairs to where the main computers were. "Cisco and Felicity came up with the schematics and all that stuff." Kara was taking in everything and was amazed at the interior design. She saw something that piqued her interested and headed towards it.

"Wow... so this is where you keep your bow and arrows?" Kara asked. Oliver had stopped by her side.

"Yes, it's my preferred weapon, so It needs to be nearby for when I suit up," Oliver said. He turned away before continuing. "But I want to show you something, Kara." Kara turned her gaze from the bow and hurried after Oliver She came to a halt to what seemed to be a bunch of cases. As they neared it, they began to open up.
