Fire Starter (Leo Valdez And The Arrow crossover)

Demigod

"How do we do this?" Leo said as he sipped his latte. It didn't have any sugar so it tasted like cardboard.

They were in a room in the back of the building. Two military style looking bed things and blankets were in there with them. Leo was sitting on one of them while Calypso paced back and forth.

"We could try to tell them the truth. Back in ancient times, mortals accepted the truth of our world." Calypsos' head was starting to hurt.  She didn't really know what to do any more.  This was her first time in the outside world. Better than an island prison though.

"Ha! Lol!" Leo said, giving a laugh. "Mortals  believe what they want to believe." Leo sipped his latte.

"Can you imagine, us, a couple of teenage--" Leo stopped mid-sentence and realized that his girlfriend was an ex-immortal goddess who was thousands of years older than him. Sweet, Leo was dating a cougar.

Calypso raised an eyebrow. She didn't know why he stopped.

"A couple of teenage-looking people running up to these vigilantes and saying 'I'm a demigod who can manifest flames and this is my ex-immortal girlfriend who was trapped on an island but was rescued by me on a giant mechanical dragon who I named Festus,  which means happy in Latin by the way" Leo inhaled, "And we are now trying to find our way back to a camp meant for half-bloods, which is half human half god, which is the only safe place for our kind because we're constantly being hunted by monsters just because we, and I quote, smell."

Calypso opened her mouth.

"Oh and we saved the world from giants and, well, the world. Did you know mother earth is evil? They don't show you that on Disney movies." Leo took another sip of his latte. Still tasted like cardboard.

"Exactly. What's so hard to believe about that?" Calypso said.

Leo smirked, "I think I should do the talking. "

In the main cortex, Felicity was watching the new "guests" on the monitors besides Curtis. She couldn't believe what she just heard, but Curtis on the other hand, "So, he's a demigod and she's an ex-immortal goddess... Makes sense."

Felicity just looked at him with disbelief.

"What, you have a better explanation? And besides, he said it himself."

"What, out of all this, makes sense!?" She held her hands to her head. This is logically impossible. Meta-humans and magic are one thing, but mythological beings are another.

She stepped away from the monitors and paced back and forth. She suddenly stopped, "What are we gonna tell Oliver?"

All of a sudden the elevator doors opened and out stepped Oliver.

"How's it going with our guests? Have they said anything yet?"

"Uh..." Felicity looked back at Curtis, he just gave a face of 'you tell him'.

She looked back at Oliver, "Well, not exactly... "

"What do you mean?"

"Well... They didn't really tell us anything. We kinda just spied on them." She said, giving him an awkward smile.

"And...?" He said, kind of getting impatient.

"Well... You see... " Felicity kept trying to get the words out but she just felt crazy for thinking it. A demigod and an ex-immortal goddess. Come on.

"What she's trying to say is that all we know is that they are definitely not from here." Curtis said, stepping in.

"They've been, just, talking on if they should talk to us. That's pretty much it."

Oliver knew something was up but he played along. He went towards the monitor,  the video showing the girl and the boy talking. The boy was smirking at the girl for some reason. Meanwhile, the girl just gave him a bewildered look.

"Call them up. I want to talk to them."

"Wait, aren't you going to put on your mask?" Felicity asked.

"The green arrow works better when it comes to criminals. But these kids",  he looked at them, " They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"Then what the hell is the point of having a secret identity if you're just not going to keep it a secret?" Felicity exclaimed.

"They don't necessarily know that I'm the green arrow. To them, I'm just a regular guy. "

Felicity sighed, "Fine."

Curtis went to the intercom, "Hey, kids, could you please come up real quick? Thanks."

Oliver looked over at Felicity who was trying not to look at him directly. "Are you ok?" He asked her.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah. Totally. I just, uh... got some stuff on my, um, mind." She gave him a reassuring smile. Meanwhile, on the inside, she was ready to just burst into screams.
