Kara lands outside of the bar, smoothing out her shirt, adjusting her hair and fixing her glasses as she steps through the door. She smiles brightly at the familiar faces.

Everyone again gets up to greet her. The crowd consists of Winn, James, Vasquez, Hamilton and Livingston along with J'onn and Lena. Alex has not arrived yet.

"Where's your twin?" Dr. Hamilton asked looking sharply at Dr. Livingston.

Kara's smile fades a little, "she's resting, with Oliver not being here it put a damper on the events," she sees a look in J'onn's eyes but turns to Lena.

She hugged her tightly. "I am so glad you are back Kara. I have never terminated you. I put you on an extended leave. You can come back any time you want to Catco."

Alex rushed in, still holding her helmet. "Sorry I am late!" She called out taking a quick seat.

Kara beams at her, "really? Thank you so much!" She is careful with her strength, "so much happened and I want to forget so much... especially the start, this all feels like a dream come true. It really does," she looks at her at arm's length before turning to smile at Alex. "Hey, you haven't missed anything!"

"Good... lets order I am starved!"

"We have 5 pizzas coming 1 meat lovers just for you Kara." Hamilton told her smirking.

Kara claps her hands together excitedly, "are you and Winn still dating?" She asks quietly as Winn brings up a platter. Wings and pot stickers, "pizza will be out shortly! Got this in advance!" He grins proudly as the waitress brings out jugs of beer.

"Yes, it has gotten kind of serious too... hasn't it Winn?"

She looked at him with her dazzling smile.

Winn looks over and grins, a chunk of wing meat in his mouth. "Oh yeah!" He answers and quickly chews and then swallows, "I'm not letting her go if I can help it!"

"Winslow stop it!" She gushed smacking him lightly on the shoulder.

They all sat down to eat.

He blushes but looks at her proudly before sitting down with them. Alex made sure to sit next to her sister.

Kara covers her mouth, "I haven't told my cousin yet!"

"Well maybe you should." Alex smirked eating one of her pot stickers. "So, I know they didn't have pizza in that galaxy. Did they have pot stickers Kara?" Alex asked starting after another on her plate.

She picks up three and shakes her head, "I killed this creature on the planet you found me on. I think it was a mix of two animals here," she shudders. "Like a warthog and chicken or something, first time for everything and thanks to knowing how some animals are prepped I was able to do so... it was tasty but not this!"

"Missed your pot stickers huh?" Alex asked not risking taking anymore off her plate.

Kara giggles as she takes a drink of the beer, "Yes! And pizza and our special nights... going flying... my place..." She looks off distantly for a moment remembering the nights she spent on the balcony looking out and thinking of everyone.

The pizza arrived, and everyone dug in. Kara's meat lover's was set in front of her.

J'onn extends a hand across the table, "you're here now, that's all that matters. We'll have Dr. Livingston talk with you later in the week if you'd like."

"I'm good." Alex said taking a slice of pizza from one of the four platters in the middle of the table. There was no way she would try for a slice off Kara's plate.

"You are one of the one's that should see me." He told Alex rather sternly.

"Should...but won't." She replied smugly.

Kara looks down at her half eaten pizza, "I will... I've only had Kara to talk with and need to really get things off my chest." She looks at Dr. Livingston. "But don't blame me for forgetting certain details," she adds before giving Alex a nudge. "Tough on the outside, gooey on the inside," she teases.

After his second slice Winn notices his phone beeping, "one moment," he gets up and walks to a quiet area. He sees it is Oliver and reads 'Alex and I are coming for a visit, and I need to go out shopping with you for something special.' The hairs raise on the back of his neck.

Feeling them bristle he types up a reply 'Now is not a good time, don't come until things have cooled down over here! Not safe!' And hits send. His face falls the longer he waits to see the message get read. It doesn't. "Lose your Wi-Fi... you're in the air..." he grunts in frustration with himself before contacting the DEO. Asking for them to intercept Oliver and Alex at the airport and notify him when they touch down.

"Trouble Winslow?" Lena asked seeing his troubled face.

He looks back and forth, fidgety and not wanting to bring it up with the others. "Uhhh..." he motions her to the side with him.

She walks over with him. Her cute hat cocked slightly to the side hiding some of her face. "What's wrong?"

He clenches his jaw, "Oliver and Alex are on their way over for a visit... with Kara Queen back I don't think it's a good idea. I messaged him telling them not to, but it looks like he's got no Wi-Fi on. He must be on a plane and said he wanted to do shopping with me which... is weird," he says it all very quickly and quietly. Thankful Kara is focused on the group.

"Well hell... what are you going to do? It's not like she can't hear his heartbeat. She'll know he's here!"

Winn rubs the back of his head, "I told the DEO to intercept them when they arrive, and to notify me but that's all I can do," he looks at her concerned. "You shouldn't be around if they do meet, it'll be too dangerous, and I don't want you getting hurt!" He says quietly but sternly.

J'onn looks at Kara with concern, "you need to know something Kara... Oliver pronounced Kara Queen dead and divorced her a few months ago after he thought he saw her ghost while on a mission. He got spooked and was a liability, he has moved on," he informs.

Kara stops chewing for a moment and swallows, "this... oh my gosh," she rubs at her temples. "Rao, I need more good news than bad news right now... I am presently dating her, but this will hurt her," she turns to look at him.

Winn walks over with Lena, and was about to tap his shoulder to get his attention when he heard Kara's last comment and looks at Lena surprised.

J'onn blinks and takes a moment to register what she's said. "You're... dating your twin?" He asks a little confused that he might have heard wrong, but she nods and he lets out a slow breath. "You two went through a great deal together," he acknowledges.

"Don't act like it's wrong J'onn!" Alex defended Kara.

She looks at everyone else in turn, waiting for them to say anything.

"I... I think it's great that you two found love in adversity." Lena spoke up quickly.

J'onn looks at her, "I'm sorry but it's just not what I expected," he says defensively.

"Well that's you J'onn. I have always noticed a bond between the two." Alex told him hotly, squeezing her sister's hand in support.

J'onn raises his hands, "hey I'm sorry, I'm not judging, I'm just surprised!" He looks at Alex.

Kara feels herself shrink just a tad in her seat but takes her sister's hand to say thanks.

Winn shrugs, "you look the same but you're two totally different people honestly. So, it works," he wraps his arm around Lena's waist.

"I tried to rescue you- buy your freedom-but you two had already escaped," she admitted.

Kara looks up at Lena, "you- you did?" She is shocked by this news. "Was she actually willing to do it?"

"Yeah sadly she was but you two already had taken off. Apparently never to be found by her again. I hear she is in prison for life."

Kara looks down, pushing her glasses up her nose nervously. "Yeah, I'd tried to escape once... no movies or shows with someone being whipped please," she says trying to make light of it.

"Hey no problem!" Alex said putting up her hands.

Everyone cringed at the table from what she had just said.

She smiles at Alex, and watches Winn give a thumbs up. "Hey boss, I've got a minor thing for you to look into," Winn says and gives his phone to J'onn.

He reads it quickly and stands up, "duty calls!" He stands up and hands the phone back. "Thank you Agent Schott, we'll be in touch," he places a hand onto her shoulder, "I'm really happy to have you with us Kara. The both of you, we'll get through it," he kisses the top of her head before leaving quickly.

Kara bites her lip, "what did Roulette say?" She looks at her, curious. She feels like it happened days ago it's still so fresh.

"We had not agreed on a number yet."

Kara nods slowly, "sorry... I put a damper on the party," she takes another slice of pizza. "I'm home... I've got my family and friends who will always have my back either on Earth or out in the stars," she smiles at Lena and Alex.
