Ok this chapter will be from the prompt: Hey author-chan, can you do a one shot where Felicity bumps Oliver and everyone is too busy for him. And he goes to Kara a few hours after she just found out about Mon-El being married and they go out drinking away their troubles together, and they find comfort in each other.

Had he really just done that?

Kara knew Mon El had been distant, but she thought that it was just from being away from everyone for seven years. As it turned out, things were not that simple and of course he had to make things worse by keeping yet another secret from her.

She had thought the fact that he was the Prince of Daxam, Prince of the planet that had started that dumb war so many years ago, was hard. That those nine months they had been dating were ruined by one lie that he kept from her were hard.

I mean between Alex telling her she wasn't a part of the family and then Mon el being a part of the only family she loathed was too much for her. But when the Music Meister put her in that coma with Barry and Iris and Mon el had to save them, she thought her and Mon el were destined to be together. Now she could see how wrong she was.

In a completely different universe the Emerald Archer was having a relationship crisis as well. "What do you mean you cheated on me?"

Felicity sighed, removing her glasses and rubbing her temples. "I mean you didn't seem like you wanted to be in a relationship anymore so I moved on."

"We're married. This isn't some teenage romance Felicity. We made vows to cherish each other."

"Well seems like I didn't mean it," Felicity spat, standing up and storming out.

"How did I ever love that woman?" Oliver thought out loud while pulling out his phone. He went through his contacts before deciding on one.

"Hey this is Thea, I can't come to the phone right now but leave your name and number."

Oliver sighed, clicking the end call button before clicking Johns number. The result was the same and he pinched the bridge of his nose.

He called two more people -Barry and Curtis- before giving up. He was about to give up when he suddenly remembered a chip Cisco gave him after the Duet incident -that he still didn't know all the details for- allowed him to talk to Kara on Earth 38.

It took a few seconds but eventually he heard the line connect before a very monotone voice responded, "Kara Danvers speaking." Oliver immediately heard the sadness in her voice and heard her sniffle like she had been crying.

"Hey, Kara it's Oliver. I was gonna ask if I could talk to you about something, but it sounds like you could use someone to talk to too."

"Uh.. yea that would be nice. Can... Can you come soon?" Kara's voice broke as she whispered the words.

"Yes, I can. I will try to be there in thirty minutes."

"Thank you."

"My pleasure."

True to his word Oliver arrived at Kara's door thirty minutes after he had ended the call. His fist raised to knock on the white wood of her door. He pounded three times before dropping his arm by his side.

He heard movement from inside before the deadbolt was being turned and the door opened. Oliver felt his chest tighten at the sight of Kara. Instead of the confident woman he had come to know, he saw she was broken. He could see it in the way she kind of hugged herself, the way her eyes stuck to the floor, the way her hair was thrown up messily, and from the bags under her sparkling blue eyes.
