White Flash : the wedding
AN : Sorry for the delay. This chapter took me longer than I thought and I had lots of homework. So, I won't make anymore promises about the date of publication of a chapter.
Anyway, here is the sequel of Crisis on Infinite Earths – White Flash. I think you can understand this story if you haven't read the previous story but it will be easier if you read it before this one.
Roy and Thea are already married and Thea Queen is now Thea Harper. So this story will be based only on Barry and Sara's wedding.
Now, enjoy the story!
Part 1 : Rehearsal dinner
Four months had passed since Oliver's funeral, and three and a half months since Sara came back to the mission "Protection of the timeline". When she first got back on the Waverider, she was welcomed with a small party and lots of congratulations from her teammates. But after spending two weeks of wedding planning, she was ready to get back to work even though she just couldn't wait to be married to the fastest man alive. As for Barry, things were very similar to what they were for Sara since he continued to fight crime in Central City since she returned with the Legends.
Two and a half months after, she came back for Roy and Thea's wedding, which was very cool. Sara could introduce Barry to her friend Sin who promised to be there for their wedding the following month. And the wedding party held at Queens' mansion was very cool. Barry and Sara also got to know Emiko a little better, and she was very nice. Seeing Team Arrow again three months after the funeral was a great thing and of course, everyone was happy for the newlyweds. Moira had been nice enough to offer the mansion again for the big day of Barry and Sara and they both gladly accepted her proposition.
A week before the D-Day, Sara came back to Central City to spend her last week as Ms. Lance with the love of her life. Because in 7 days, she would be Mrs. Lance-Allen and that thought alone was enough to make her feel as excited as a child on Christmas day. She didn't need to worry about anything except her approaching wedding. Her dress was ready in her room on the time ship. The Legends will bring it for her.
Tonight was the rehearsal dinner. They decided to do it a familiar place for this event, a place that meant a lot of things mostly for Sara, but a famous place of Star City. This place might be considered as the coolest nightclub of the city : the Verdant which, on this new Earth, was still owned by none other than Thea Harper. It was also big enough to host all their guests because there were really numerous (detailed list at the end of the chapter)
The party was going well when Sara decided to introduce Rip to Barry. She found her fiancé talking with Ryan.
"Hi Ry an! How are you doing?"
"I'm fine, thank you! I was just telling Barry how happy and honored I am to be here. How about you? Are you a little nervous?"
"It is our pleasure to have you here after the Crisis. But to answer your question, I'm not really nervous because I know Barry and I are meant to be, at least on this new Earth!" With that, she turned Barry's head to her and placed a quick kiss on his lips.
"Thank you for these words, honey!" said Barry. "And you know I know it too!"
"Yes, I know, my love! Can you come with me for a moment? There's someone I'd like you to meet."
"You know I can't refuse you anything! See you later, Ryan!"
"See you later!"
Sara and Barry approached Rip who was filling a glass of whiskey.
"Barry, please meet Rip Hunter, former captain of the Waverider and founder of the Legends!" Rip turned back when he heard this.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Hunter!" Barry said as he extended his hand.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Allen!" Rip replied as he shook Barry's hand. "Sara told me you've learned well from your time-travel mistake and I know you have been careful about the timeline ever since. So, it makes you both another thing in common with each other. And I know Sara will be in good hands with you!"
"Maybe our mistakes with the timeline are what made us perfect for one another. I also can't help but wonder how your Gideon did not detect the change in the timeline when I created the Flashpoint. Surely a former Time Master would have an explanation?"
"Actually, Gideon did detect the Flashpoint but there was only one way to fix it: let Thawne kill your mother! Speaking of this, I'm really sorry you had to go through this once again!"
"Thank you! But at least, I'm in peace with her death now. And I'm also sorry you couldn't save your family!"
"Thank you, too! But like you, I'm in peace with their deaths now."
At that moment, Quentin took a microphone to make sure he would be heard and called everyone to hear his father of the soon-to-be bride's speech.
"Thirteen years ago, I thought my youngest daughter died because Oliver invited her on his father's yacht. But she came back home six years later and for a little while, we could be a family again. And after a few months, she was dead for real." After hearing this, Thea felt a little guilt since she was the one who killed Sara, even though she was drugged by Malcolm. "Her sister eventually found a way to bring Sara back to life, but it only brought life into her body. I don't know what we would have done if Oliver hadn't called John Constantine here, who gave Sara her soul back. So, for that, thank you John. If it weren't for your intervention that day, we probably wouldn't be here today."
"You're welcome, Mr. Lance. It was nothing but a debt I had towards Oliver."
"Okay, if you say so. Anyway, when Laurel told me Sara left on a mysterious time-travelling quest, I couldn't believe that my baby left us once again on some mission that could take her life in another period of time. But she's a strong warrior and she valiantly fought against multiple adversaries who were even stronger. And along the way, she made some new friends and she found her soulmate.
So thank you too, Barry and Mr. Hunter. You both saved my daughter by offering her another chance to be best version of herself as both a hero and a companion." With that, he raised his glass. "To Sara and Barry!"
Everyone raised their glass and repeated these words. "To Sara and Barry!"
