The fun continues . . . and Barry is still completely clueless. XD

Enjoy the rest of the rehearsal dinner!

***

Stein hurried through the doors to Jitters, finding his family and – conveniently – Jax, Lena chattering in excitement with Lily about something. "You're late, as usual," Clarissa said dryly as he joined them.

"Sorry, had to change," Stein kissed her cheek.

"Don't you have a time machine?" Lily tilted her head.

"Yes, very droll," Stein said dryly, nodding to Lena as she smirked. "Ms. Luthor."

"Ahem," Lena raised an eyebrow.

"Lena," Stein corrected. "Jefferson, I need to talk to you. Would you excuse us for a minute?"

Jax blinked, but Lena nodded and went back to talking with Lily, Clarissa getting drawn into their discussion. "Where have you been, man?" Jax asked as they headed to the back of the venue.

"Cooking," Stein answered.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure this event's catered."

"Not food," Stein shook his head, stopping underneath the staircase. "This."

Jax blinked when he saw the yellow vial Stein pulled out of his pocket. "Wait, I thought that the cure S.T.A.R. Labs made for us was a blue one, not – "

"It is," Stein nodded. "This isn't the cure. This is a molecular resequencing smart virus with non-normative reciprocal action."

Jax frowned. "Do you just make up scientific words to make yourself sound smarter?"

"The contents of this vial will rewrite your DNA and give you superpowers," Stein explained.

"Are you serious?" Jax's eyes widened. "What kind of powers?"

"Well, I extrapolated it from the genetic abilities of a Microhexura Montivaga," Stein answered. "The spruce-fir moss spider."

Jax blinked, then frowned. "You're trying to turn me into Spider-Man?"

"Well, no," Stein shook his head. "I mean, you won't be super strong and able to lift ten times your body weight, nor will you be able to shoot webs from a subdermal gland in your wrist flexor muscle."

"But I'll have spidey-sense?"

"No, I'm afraid not."

Jax narrowed his eyes. "So what powers will I have?"

"You'll be able to stick to things. Incredible adhesion, like glue. You'll just be stuck right on something, no sliding off."

"Mmm," Jax nodded sarcastically. "The spectacular Sticky-Man."

"Well, I'm sure Cisco could fashion you a more exciting sobriquet," Stein shrugged. "The important thing is, you can still have what you want. You told me, when we began our latest adventures, that all you wanted was superpowers and be able to be on the Waverider."

"Yeah, but – " Jax began, frowning.

"Now you can have both," Stein explained. "You may not be able to be Firestorm anymore, but you can still be a Legend." Jax finally scoffed, and Stein frowned. "I thought that would make you happy."

"Yeah," Jax nodded bitterly. "You would."

Stein watched Jax walk off, then looked back at the vial in his hand, only to start when he heard the sound of footsteps on the staircase behind him. "I'm sorry," Kara said apologetically as she walked down, a sheepish look on her face. "I backed up when I heard you guys talking, I didn't want to interrupt."

"Yes, that was probably for the best," Stein nodded, smiling and gesturing for her to continue. "Come down, my dear, we just finished."

"How have you been, Professor?" Kara smiled, walking down the rest of the steps.

"Oh, quite well," Stein answered, accepting her hug with a fond chuckle. "Since we last met, I am now a proud grandfather."

"Congratulations," Kara smiled brilliantly. "Boy? Girl?"

"A boy," Stein answered. "Lily named him Ronnie."

"After your first other half of Firestorm," Kara guessed.

Stein blinked. "You've heard of Ronnie?" he asked, touched.

"Of course," Kara smiled. "I haven't heard everyone's stories behind how they came to be where they are, but Barry and Cisco, Caitlin in particular, seemed quite fond of you, so I asked your story. Caitlin told me about Ronnie. He sounds like he was wonderful."

"He was," Stein nodded, then cleared his throat. "I met Ms. Luthor earlier today."

"I heard she told you to call her Lena," Kara smirked.

"Yes, she did," Stein winced. "Call it a habit."

"It's fine," Kara giggled, waving it off. "She's used to being called Ms. Luthor so much, she likes it much more when people call her Lena."

"I will keep that in mind," Stein nodded, then tilted his head. "I also believe congratulations is in order for you as well, or so I hear."

Kara did a double take, turning to look at him with wide eyes. "What?"

"Ah, yes," Stein smiled, a twinkle in his eye. "Or shall I remain silent until our young speedster friend sees what's right in front of him?"

"How – ?" Kara looked around, eyes wide. "You literally just walked in! How could you have known?"

"I would ask those who were discussing in the cortex how long it would take for Barry to realize you and Mr. Queen are together," Stein answered with a chuckle.

Kara sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Of course they were," she grumbled before speaking louder. "Yeah, at Barry's bachelor party, Oliver decided it would be a good idea to see how long it would take Barry to realize." She held out the skirt of her dress and snorted. "So far, he's not doing a very good job."

"Well, don't let me ruin your game," Stein smiled. "But my sincerest congratulations for you and Mr. Queen, my dear."

"Thank you, Professor," Kara smiled. "From both of us."

"You're very welcome," Stein smiled back.

Joe tapped a spoon against his glass and called out, "Can I have everybody's attention for a second? Grab a drink!"

"There she is," James watched Stein lead Kara over to where the others were gathering, Lena disengaging from the Steins to join them.

"Hey," Kara smiled, giving Lena a small look. "Thank you for giving me my glasses back."

"Oliver choked," Lena whispered, smirking. "Mission accomplished."

James snorted as Kara rolled her eyes, then she took the champagne glass he offered her. "Thanks."

"All right," Joe cleared his throat as Winn joined the trio as well. "So, the old man has a few words to say." Kara straightened slightly when she felt the ghost of fingertips touch her back, and she casually looked to the side. Oliver gave her a small wink as he, Thea, and Felicity stood on the other side of the table, and Kara bit her lip, giving him a small smile as she turned to pay attention to Joe. "What could I possibly say about Barry and Iris that everyone in this room doesn't already know?" Joe asked. "How they're special, and kind, and brave. But we all know that, so . . . I'm gonna talk to you all about somebody you might not know. Me. For the longest time, I have been happy just to be Dad to these two. And then Wally comes along, and . . . " He took a deep breath, then continued. "Then watching them face what they have in the last few years with grace, and trust, and love . . . so much love . . . you see two people who love like that, and you want it, too."

Cecille blinked when he turned to her and held out his hand. "Oh, I'm in this speech!"

"Yes, you are," Joe confirmed as some people chuckled. He took Cecille's hand, then turned back to Barry and Iris, his voice choking. "So . . . Barry, Iris . . . thank you for showing me how to love again. For showing me that love is the most important thing we have." He raised his glass, smiling brilliantly. "To Barry and Iris."

"To Barry and Iris!" the others chorused, raising their drinks in response.

"Hey, guys," Winn hurried up to where Barry, Iris, Oliver, Cisco, Thea, and Felicity were chatting. "Have you guys seen Alex?"

"Alex?" Barry looked around everyone, frowning. "No, I don't see her."

"OK," Winn frowned. "Lena just wanted to make sure she got her dress for tomorrow."

"Eh, she'll turn up eventually," Cisco shrugged.

"Hopefully," Winn nodded thoughtfully.

Oliver looked past Winn to see Kara approach the bar, speaking to the bartender, then cleared his throat. "I'm gonna go catch up with Kara."

"Weren't you just talking to her earlier?" Barry frowned.

"That was literally when she walked in," Oliver gave him a look.

"Which you five were awesome, by the way," Thea grinned.

"Anyway," Oliver gave Thea a dirty look, knowing exactly why Thea thought it was awesome. "I didn't get to speak to her much longer after that."

"Oh," Barry blinked, then nodded. "Yeah, sure, man. Go ahead. I'm gonna go ask Joe something, anyway."

"Thanks," Oliver nodded as Barry kissed the top of Iris's head before walking off. As soon as he was gone, Oliver slowly turned to the other shocked members of the group. "How much more obvious do I need to get?" he asked in disbelief, shaking his head and walking towards the bar.

"Did we have any bets on that move?" Winn asked Felicity.

"Uh," she turned her phone on, scrolling through the page she had pulled up. "There's one that says Oliver says something so casually obvious that hints towards something, but Barry completely ignores it."

"Yeah, that counts," Iris nodded, frowning when Cisco groaned. "Who bet that?"

"Harry," he grumbled. "Great. I owe him five bucks."

***

"Thank you," Kara smiled as the bartender handed her a club soda.

"It's official," Oliver announced as he came up on her other side. "Barry is completely oblivious."

"Oh, great," Kara rolled her eyes. "Guess who does know?"

"Who?" Oliver raised an eyebrow.

"Professor Stein. And the only reason he knows is because apparently the betting squad back there were betting on when Barry would figure it out."

Oliver snorted softly. "Of course they did."

"Well," Kara took a sip of her drink. "I guess that means we need to act like we're catching up, then."

Oliver nodded. "Since we last saw each other, I dealt with, as Felicity called them, 'just some ninjas.'"

Kara raised an eyebrow. "All I've had to do is deal with a stray Dominator."

Oliver snorted. "Well, that didn't take long."

"No, it didn't," Kara nodded, then looked down, chewing her lip. "I'm not complaining."

"Me, neither," Oliver agreed before gesturing towards the door leading to the patio.

Kara smiled, taking her drink and following him that way. Oliver held the door open for her, and she stepped out, tilting her head back when she felt the night breeze. She heard Oliver chuckle softly and turned to see him standing by the door, just . . . watching her. "What?"

"You are so beautiful," was all Oliver said with a smile, Kara blushing in response. "If Barry doesn't figure it out by the end of the day tomorrow, I say we tell him."

"Agreed," Kara nodded as Oliver walked over to join her. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to just be civil?"

"Very," Oliver nodded, leaning against the railing. "And I'm the one that's the expert in having to put on a certain face in front of others."

"You would have more practice as mayor," Kara agreed, giggling slightly. She looked back down at her drink, then cleared her throat and swirled it before casually asking, "Have you ever thought about this before?"

"Hmm?" Oliver blinked, raising an eyebrow.

"This," Kara clarified, nodding back to the party. "You and me? Ever?"

Oliver blinked again, then slowly nodded. "Yes," he confirmed. "Now more than ever, actually."

"I don't think I ever really believed I could ever be somewhere like this," Kara chewed her lip, fiddling with her glasses. "Not even with Mon-El, like I knew it would just end badly. And when he was gone, I almost gave up entirely. And now that we're here . . . " She ducked her head. "I haven't stopped thinking about it since Iris's bachelorette party."

"I almost was here once," Oliver reminded her.

"With Felicity," Kara winced. "Right."

Oliver's hand slid over hers to interlock their fingers, and Kara looked up. She almost regretted it when she saw the heat in his eyes as he looked down at her. "Now there's no one else I could imagine walking down the aisle towards me."

Kara let out a shaky breath. "Does that mean I should be expecting a certain question some time soon?"

"Now, where's the fun in ruining a surprise like that, angel?" Oliver smirked, making Kara blush. "But," he emphasized, making her look up. "If it wasn't going to interrupt Barry and Iris's big day . . . what would your answer be?"

Kara smiled brilliantly. "It would be yes."

Oliver smiled back.

***

"Thank you, Ramon," Harry smirked, taking the five dollar bill Cisco reluctantly gave him. "Told you that was more likely than the Green Arrow being blatantly obvious about what he was doing."

"Winn cheated," Cisco grumbled. "I say he knew Kara was going to show up in green."

"I don't think he knew Ms. Luthor would steal Kara's glasses for the grand entrance, though."

"Hey," Thea walked up to them, smirking. "I need ten bucks from each of you."

"For what?" Cisco squawked.

"I won my part of the bet," Thea smirked. "One or more of the Legends would find out before Barry. Professor Stein knows. So pay up."

Harry's eyebrows shot up as he searched through his pockets. "Very clever, Ms. Queen."

"When am I gonna win something?" Cisco complained as they slapped twenty bucks into Thea's hand.

"That depends," Thea smirked. "You already lost something else. Oliver left ahead of Kara, so there's no way Barry knows they're together because they left at the same time."

"Come on!" Cisco whined as Harry laughed.

***

"Do I want to know what the rest of the bets are?" Kara gave Felicity's phone an almost frightened look.

"Probably not," Felicity shook her head. "It's more fun that way."

"Right," Kara blew out her breath in a whoosh. "And Alex still isn't accounted for."

"Uh, yeah," Iris looked around, then giggled. "Look around at who else isn't."

"Um, Oliver and Caitlin both did, and so did the Steins," Kara looked around. "I know Lena's getting ready to . . . oh." She blinked, then blushed. "Oh."

"Uh huh," Iris giggled more.

"Oh, Rao," Kara's shoulders shook as she covered her mouth. "Oh, Alex is in for a fun night."

The three shared another laugh at that, then Felicity put her phone back in her purse. "Well, the bridesmaids need their beauty sleep so they have some chance of looking as good as the bride in the morning."

"Aw," Iris giggled.

"Sleep tight, if you can," Kara gave Iris a hug. "Tomorrow's a big day."

"Thanks," Iris smiled, then it widened into a grin. "As long as you sleep, too."

"Iris West!" Kara's jaw dropped, Felicity bursting into laughter.

"What?" Iris asked innocently. "Those of us in the know could practically see the two of you undressing each other mentally."

"Oh, my – " Kara's face was as red as Barry's suit. "I'm done," she held up her hands, turning around. "I am not discussing this!"

"Have a good night!" Iris cheekily called after her as Felicity cackled.

***

Barry frowned, watching Kara practically run away from where Iris and Felicity were laughing, then turned to Winn, Wally, and Joe. "What was that about?"

"No idea, man," Winn shook his head, hiding his grin behind his champagne glass. "No idea."

Joe frowned as Wally coughed into his arm. "You OK?"

"Yeah," Wally turned back around, grinning as well. "Completely fine."

Oliver undid his tie, tossing it over the chair in the hotel room, wringing out his neck as he shrugged his jacket off. It had been a long day, spending the majority of it with Barry, Cisco, Wally, James, and Winn, but it had been a good time. He couldn't remember the last time an entire day had been spent with either the guys on Team Flash or the guys on Earth-38 just having fun with no crisis to avert. It was something they all needed to do more often.

The door quietly opened, making Oliver turn. Kara slipped inside, shutting it behind her, giving him a shy smile as she set her purse down on the table by the door. Oliver smiled back, beckoning her to him with a finger. Kara bit her lip and walked up, and Oliver reached up, gently taking her glasses off. "Now," he smirked. "Did you plan on making me choke to death when you arrived?"

"Lena's idea," Kara admitted. "No glasses, at least. The green might have been my idea."

"Mmm," Oliver nodded, setting her glasses aside with one hand. His other arm snaked around her waist and pulled her to him, Kara's arms going around his neck. "That would have been just as bad."

"Oops," Kara said unapologetically.

Oliver smirked and kissed her hard, his other hand going to the back of her head, tangling in her blonde tresses. Kara kissed him back, letting him back her up to the bed.

To hell with Barry finding out tonight they were together. If they both showed up to the church at the same time, he'd figure out what happened either way.

Yeah, I'll leave the rest to your imagine, because I am not a smut writer. Otherwise, as some readers may know, that might have been half of Smidarrio's books.

The wedding begins next time!
