Chapter 32

(Past Alex and Slade are written as Alex and Slade in this scene)

“Alex, Alex. Hold on.” Slade stopped Alex before she could walk out of the viewing room with everyone else.

“Hi,” Alex said awkwardly. “This is weird.”

“To find out that this woman that I’ve barely talked to ends up as my wife? Yes, very weird,” Slade said.

“And to find out we have a kid together? That’s even weirder,” Alex said. “Until like… a little while ago, I thought I was a lesbian.”

“Are you… unhappy finding out about this?” Slade asked.

“I… don’t know. I’ve been mostly focusing on what is going to happen with Maggie. But… I think I would be willing to give this a shot,” Alex said softly.

“It’s been… a long time since I’ve been in a relationship,” Slade said. “How would we do this?”

“I think we start with this,” Alex said, taking his hand.

“This is nice,” Slade smiled.

“It is,” Alex smiled as they walked into the break room together.

Control Room

"Update," Laurel said as she walked in. "Alex, Slade, your younger selves are boring. They didn't even kiss."

"Well my younger self is going through an identity crisis," Alex shrugged. "Where's my kid?"

"How do you not know where your kid is at?" Laurel said.

"You want to go there? Where's your kid?" Alex said.

Laurel looked next to her and sighed, “Dammit! Becca! Where’d you go?” She walked off to find Rebecca.

“Me and Will are gonna go home,” Ruby said, as she took his hand. “Just have to stop by my moms first.”

“Bye.”

“Okay, I’m gonna go find Rose,” Alex said.

Break room

Rose was in the breakroom, talking to Slade and Alex.

“Me, Rebecca and Alura are pretty close, although me and Rebecca do fight a lot," Rose was explaining her weird relationship with Rebecca. "And Rebecca loves Alura with all her heart. Rebecca may not seem to care about a lot of things, but she does cars about Alura, and me and her parents."

"Stop saying such nice things about me. It's making me uncomfortable," Rebecca popped up from behind the couch.

"Maybe you should stop hiding behind things and crawling through vents like a damn stalker," Rose said.

"And you left out one thing I love. Stealing the Flash ring and hiding it to make Barry think he's going crazy," Rebecca said.

"Oh, you still do that? That was so much fun when I hung around the Watchtower more often. Now I… do homework and stuff," Rose said sadly.

"Just be like me and don't do homework during the day. I do mine at night," Rebecca said.

"Well, I don't stay up all night like you do," Rose said. "Because some of us actually do need sleep."

"If I go to sleep before 3 am, I lose," Rebecca said.

"Lose what!?"

"The competition."

"I think you're delirious from lack of sleep."

"Its a possibility, yeah."

"Come on kid, let's go," Rose got up, and picked up a protesting Rebecca and carried her out of the room.

"You just saw that 16 year old pick up that very small 13 year old and carry her out of the room, right?"

"Yep."

"Okay. Was just making sure I wasn't crazy."

"Here's your kid. Take her home and make sure she gets a good amount of sleep, that way she's not as tired as she has been," Rose said as she walked into the break room, handing a protesting Rebecca to Malcolm.

"Wait, you mean… this entire time she's been bothering everyone, she's actually been very tired?" Ollie said.

"Yeah," Laurel nodded. "We're gonna go."

"Bye Becca!"

"Screw you Rose!"

"I only did this because I care!"
