Facing the Past

"Ugh," Kara heard a voice and came down the stairs to find Rae throwing parts of her new suit on the floor and stomping on it. Clark was in his Flash Pup outfit and was trying to comfort his mistress. "I hate it. I hate it!"

"Rae, what's wrong?" Kara asked, never having seen Rae throw what could only be described as a temper tantrum.

"I just used Justice League training areas to test out this suit," Rae said. "And I hate it."

"We have training areas?" Kara paused as Chris came down the stairs rubbing his eyes.

"That's what you get from that?" Rae groaned, turning to her girlfriend.

"Well it would be nice to know all the places the Justice League owns," Kara pointed out, wondering what else Rae had not told them about. It wasn't done on purpose – Rae didn't seem to think to inform them of everything the Justice League had accessed to, and Kara had not checked the system to see for herself. It was all in the computers and communicators though, so it wasn't like Rae was keeping information from them. "But what's wrong with the outfit?"

"Besides the color scheme?" Rae said, still annoyed Winn and Adam had gone all red. Maybe it was to match her other worldly cousins who were the Flash and wore all-red but it annoyed Rae the blue pants were not there. "It's a size too small and they put too many gadgets into it. Guns. Sensors. Oh and…" Rae punched the chest a couple of times and the suit seemed to blow up into a float. The arms out to the side. Chris laughed. "I have no idea what this is… or exactly how it activates. I just messed around with it and it turns on randomly. And I don't know how to turn it off."

"Why would you need that?" Chris asked.

"I don't know," Rae groaned as the suit deflated and Rae ran in a blur to reappear in normal clothes. She had the suit in her arms and tossed it on the floor kicking it. "I hate it. Why did my old suit have to be destroyed? I loved that suit."

"Why don't you just ask your Aunt Nora to make you a new one?" Kara asked.

"Why would I ask Aunt Nora?" Rae asked, tilting her head to her girlfriend now. Nora and Henry had been approved to be foster parents quickly though, especially since they wanted to take in meta humans and the state needed foster parents for meta humans. They already had a little green baby who liked to turn into animals who mother was abusing him, and the state was looking for his father, who was apparently in the army.

"Didn't she make your original outfit?" Kara asked, always assuming Nora had made the outfit.

"No," Rae said shaking her head. "But you're a genius!" Rae seemed to perk up and she kissed Kara. "I got to ask the person who made my original outfit." Rae pointed at the suit on the floor. "Burn that with heat vision." Rae ran out with Clark before Kara could ask where she was going.

Kara turned to Chris. "Who made her original outfit?" Kara asked him and he shrugged.

"You didn't ask her?" Chris pointed out and Kara sighed. She had to go find out where Rae went.

-New Justice-

"Found him," Frankie said, turning the computer to Gypsy who had to smile.

"This is going to be a good bounty," Gypsy replied, but before she could say more they were interrupted by lightning and standing before them was Rae.

Rae took off her helmet and goggles, letting Clark down on the floor. Clark gave Frankie a glare but stayed calm. "I need you," Rae said.

"Again?" Gypsy asked. "You know I don't mind world hopping with you but…"

"No," Rae said. "Not world hopping. I need Frankie." Frankie raised an eyebrow at this. "I need you to make me a new suit."

"What happen to your old one?" Frankie asked, seeming upset. He had made that suit after all.

"It got destroyed. She's very touchy about it," Gypsy pointed out, remembering that from their trip to Alien Earth.

"Please, Frankie," Rae said, practically begging. "I need an outfit and you…"

"I'll do it," Frankie said, surprising Rae. She had expected to have to beg, to plead with her ex but this was a surprise. Frankie could clearly see the shock in Rae's eyes. "Making that outfit for you was the first thing I ever did for you. It's what started our friendship. A friendship I have missed because well… you're my only friend."

"No, I'm not," Rae said, almost automatically.

"Name another one, and do not say Winn," Frankie commented.

Rae opened her mouth to form words, but then stopped. Closing it, clearly thinking. "I'm your only friend," Rae said, realizing it herself.

"Like I said," Frankie commented. "And I know I was a jerk. I was an ass. How our relationship ended was my fault, but I really want my friend back. So, I'll make a new outfit for you. I got some ideas on how to make it better too."

"No weird float," Rae said, making Frankie raise an eyebrow. "Don't ask." Rae knew she had to respond to what Frankie said though. "Frankie…" Rae started. "You were the biggest jerk at the end of our relationship. How it ended is all on you, but I had a part to play in us falling apart. I thought because you helped make me become the Flash and knew I wanted to join the Justice League, you signed up for the life. I didn't think to work on the relationship, to give it the attention it needed. Really, we just did not fit. Me and you. I needed someone who fit into my life just a little better. You needed someone who could be a little freer than me."

Rae went closer to Frankie. "But the thing is, you will always be my first love," Rae said, putting a hand on Frankie's shoulder, Gypsy coughing politely at that to let Rae know she was still in the room. "And before that you were my friend…" Rae continued. "My best friend. I am more than willing to go back to that relationship."

"I make you the outfit we reset our relationship back to the point it last worked. Like a computer," Frankie said, nodding.

"That sounds great," Rae said nodding at Gypsy now. "But there is one thing… Kara." Frankie raised an eyebrow. "I love her Frankie. She's my world… my everything."

"And I made her my number one enemy," Frankie said, nodding. "I'll figure out how to make it up to her." Clark barked. "And him." Frankie knew that was coming and Rae gave a chuckle. "Right then, outfit? Can you leave the helmet and goggles? Need to match…"

"It took me this long to figure out who made your first outfit," Kara's voice interrupted Frankie as she flew through the open window. "Not actually sure why." Kara had almost hit herself when she had realized who it must be.

"Hey Kara, looking good," Frankie said politely, and Kara gave him a glare. Rae shook her head and eye rolled as she took off her helmet and goggles leaving them on the counter for Frankie.

"I didn't expect you to follow," Rae said, turning to her girlfriend.

"Well actually… I gave all alerts to Sara for the day," Kara said, making Rae raise an eyebrow. "Because, well I'm going to Metropolis for the day. To be with Lois and the kids. Chris and Krypto are already heading there and well… I want you to come too. To meet them."

"Are you asking me to meet your mother?" Rae asked.

"In a way, yes," Kara said, nodding her head and Rae kissed her.

"Okay, let's go," Rae said. "I'll be back later Frankie." Frankie nodded as he was already taking out everything he needed to start on the outfit. Rae, Clark, and Kara leaving the apartment.

"Guess I'll go get this bounty on my own," Gypsy spoke up, once the two girls and dog had left, knowing Frankie was not even listening as she opened a portal to leave.

-New Justice-

Sara came into Watchtower looking around at the group gathered. M'Gann, Caitlin, Winn, Adam, and Red Tornado.

"Okay, why did I get a message to come here?" Sara asked, looking around.

"Red has found something interesting," Adam said. "And you're the on-call leader."

"This is a mission a leader, if available, should okay," Red Tornado said. "The Old Justice League monitored movements of certain groups. During rebuilding, this got lost but I was always the one to keep track. I restarted it. There has been some unusual movement. Large shipment of certain chemicals and a possible threat. I think a sale is happening."

"And…?" Sara asked this not seeming like the biggest threat. Surely the local police could be alerted to deal with it.

"I think we should check it out. Spy on the situation," Red Tornado said. "Intercept if needed."

"He didn't mention that I think it's possible these chemicals are being used to make a weaponized virus," Caitlin pointed out, alerting Sara more now. "It's all unconfirmed but…"

"Okay, where is it?" Sara asked, and Adam brought up a map on the nearby screen; it was on an island in the sea. "This is not even in America. Do we have a zap tunnel there?"

"No, but the Justice League does have access to several vehicles that can get us there quickly," Red Tornado said. "I think J'onn's ship is in the docking bay. It would be the best to use if someone can drive it, since the ship contains cloaking technology."

"I can drive," M'Gann said, seeming excited. She loved ships, and this one was her late uncles, which made it special.

"Okay, we'll check it out. Who's coming?" Sara asked.

"I think the people in this room will be enough," Red Tornado said and Sara nodded.

"Wait, where's Donna? She normally free," Sara said.

"Job interview," M'Gann spoke, surprising everyone. "She wants to be a model. Oh, and the Aquas are moving to Metropolis today. Starting their new jobs."

"Okay then… let's go." Sara stated, deciding not to comment on the jobs of various League members; they had a chemical exchange to monitor. "Docking bay? Red, lead the way," Sara commented, and Red Tornado led them to the docking bay, where several space-faring ships were. M'Gann was looking around, clearly excited but then ran right to J'onn's ship opening the door.

Everyone walked in. M'Gann was already sitting in the chair at the control panel. Several other chairs seemed to grow from nowhere though – enough for everyone. "Ready," M'Gann said and the doors to the space station opened. With a call of 'ready'' as reply, M'Gann flew the ship out into space and cloaked it.

"Why didn't Rae tell us about this when Watchtower was under attack?" Adam asked, thinking they could have used these ships to stop that time traveler.

"If you remember correctly, Rae was already looking for the Spear when we were attacked," Sara commented, and Adam nodded and smiled as M'Gann moved the ship towards Earth and to their destination. Rae hadn't been around to tell them of this place, and Red was still out of commission at the time.

-New Justice-

Rae followed Kara to Metropolis and up the building, stopping inside with her pants on fire.

"Damn it!" Rae said as she put it out to see Kara, Lois, Chris, Krypto, a puppy, and two kids giving her a curious look. "It happens without my suit," Rae defended as Clark went to go play with his sibling – Krypto kept a careful eye on his two puppies.

"I could have carried you," Kara said to get a look from Rae. Rae loved running and Kara knew that. "Or not. Rae, this is Lois. Lois, this is Rae." Rae was surprised when Lois hugged her close. She had not been expecting a hug.

"Hi," Rae said when the hug was over.

"So you're the one who helped Kara find love," Lois said, knowing Rae was confused. "As far as I am concerned… you're a miracle worker." Rae gave a smirk as she smiled at Kara.

"She helped me find love too," Rae said, giving Kara a look and going to kiss her.

"You knew daddy?" The little girl spoke up and Rae knew she was Ellen; the boy with her had to be Jason. She had never met them before, but she had seen Jason and Ella on Karry when she had gone to celebrate the twins first birthday. They looked similar, although they weren't twins on that other Earth.

Rae nodded though, dropping to her her knees to be eye level with them. "Yes, I did," Rae said. She had to see a lot of family members of her former League members after their deaths; she had to comfort them, but never anyone so young.

"Why did he have to leave us?" Jason asked, clearly upset still.

Rae sighed, biting her lip but before Lois could break up the scene, she said, "Being a hero is not easy. You have to put what's right above anything else and always try your hardest to do the right thing. This was the first lesson your father taught me." Rae put a hand on both kids' heads at this. "Your father did not want to leave you, but he wanted to protect the world and his friends and you. He wanted to do what's right and someday you will too." She nuzzled their hair at this, letting them go.

The two kids hugged her though, and she hugged them back. "That's a keeper," Lois whispered to Kara, who had to smile.

-New Justice-

Once on the island Red had disclosed, the League had easily located the smuggling ring surrounded by trees in an old warehouse.

Sara and Red Tornado hung out, hiding in the tree on one side. Winn and Caitlin went to the other side of the warehouse, hiding in the trees themselves. M'Gann was staying in the ship, to keep it going and cloaked with a bird eye view. Adam shrunk in his suit to get into the warehouse, to get a fly-on-the-wall look at events. "Well there is a lot of stuff here," Adam said. "Not sure what any of it is. All packed up."

"The question is, should the Justice League intercept?" Sara whispered, watching as some guards were playing a card game.

"What is the qualification for this being a League issue?" Caitlin asked. "I mean, we just fight crime, and this is illegal. Why not just take it down?"

"We don't just go after everything. That's for the police. If we do not have reason to believe this is a major threat to the world, especially since we are not in the United States, then we just pass off as an anonymous tip," Red Tornado commented. "We need to save ourselves for the bigger issues. Not every drug ring."

"So far this is boring," Sara said. "Atom, see if you can find anything that would confirm Wild Fire's suspicions. If not, we'll tip off the local police."

"Aye," Adam said.

It was only a few minutes later the people started moving. A man who looked like the boss came out. "Atom, did you get caught?" Sara asked, having not heard from him since his affirmative.

"No," Adam said.

"There's a car coming this way," M'Gann said, having the bird eye view from the ship.

"I think a sale is going down," Sara said, as the car M'Gann mentioned came off the road and stopped in front. Sara watched as two familiar people came out of the car. It was Deathstroke, in his full outfit, and next to him was none other than Nyssa Al Ghul! "League of Assassins…" Sara groaned.

"I think that's proof enough this is our business," Red Tornado commented. "We should…"

"Everyone, stay still!" Sara said, taking deep breaths as she saw her former girlfriend going to talk to the man. She was nervous and she had never been nervous like this before.

"White Canary…?" Red Tornado said.

"I was a member of the League of Assassins," Sara said, and she had a feeling Red Tornado knew. "Rae got me out by threatening them. They said as long as the Justice League was as powerful as the old one they would not come for me. They agreed not to go after each other."

"According to Rae's notes on the encounter they agreed to go back to the way things were. We never purposely went after the League of Assassins but if we found them doing something bad, we did stop them," Red Tornado reasoned. "We can leave if you want. You are in charge, but they are up to something. Something deadly. It's your call, White Canary."

Sara looked at her former girlfriend. Her former life. She wanted to run from it again. Run like she always had. But she was a leader of the Justice League now, she had a responsibility. She could not run anymore.

She took deep breaths, trying to think of a plan. It was harder than Rae made it out to be. "Okay, Stopwatch get Wild Fire into the warehouse. Burn the place down. Atom, come out to take the smugglers. Red, get Deathstroke. Nyssa is mine. M'Gann, have that ship ready to come get us. Got it?" Sara heard the affirmative from her group. "Okay, now!"

Sara saw Adam grow bigger and shot at some guys. Red Tornado flew in right at Deathstroke. Before Nyssa could go to help them, Sara ran in front of her, her bo staff in at the read. "Hello sweetie," Sara commented with a smirk. "Want to dance?"

-New Justice-

Rae had told the family a story about Clark. About one of the mission she went on with him. How he had trained her, for the kids who wanted a connection to their father they never had before. And then Lois told Rae about how she found out Clark's secret. How they became an item. Rae had to smile at the dorkiness of her former mentor through Lois' words.

Then they went out to the beach. Rae started throwing a ball around with Jason, Ellen, and Chris. The four laughing as Clark and Scooby – Ellen and Jason's puppy – ran around them. It was hard to find a beach that allowed for pets, but Lois had found a pretty nice one. "So the Aquas have been in the city a lot," Lois commented, finally sitting on a beach chair on the sand and watching the four with a smile.

"Moving here," Kara said. "I mentioned to them you guys needed a hero."

"I want an interview with them," Lois smirked, noticing the way Kara was watching the group playing. She was watching the kids and Chris, but her eyes kept going to Rae, who was wearing a bikini. "You really love her." Kara nodded. "I'm glad this worked out."

Rae came up before Kara could answer. "Come swimming?" Rae asked, taking Kara's hand. "Come on, the kids want to go swimming."

"Okay," Kara said, taking her off the shirt she had on over her bathing suit.

"You know I like you in that bikini," Rae said, seeing her girlfriend who gave a smirk and kissed her before chasing the kids in to the ocean.

Lois laughed, deciding to work on her tan.

It wasn't long later that everyone was around her with towels, grabbing the packed lunch. "You like playing with the kids," Lois commented to Rae when they were done, and the kids started playing again with Chris.

"Well, when I was a kid I had no one I could really play with," Rae said thoughtfully. "I always had to be careful and sometimes had accidents that hurt others. I threw a ball once too fast that bruised Barry in the stomach. Broke some toys on accident… You know there is some reason why he hated me." Rae thought, thinking over her childhood. Her powers had been a pain for the people around her before she had mastered them.

"Not reason enough to do what he did," Kara said, putting an arm around Rae and starting to tickle her to make her forget.

-New Justice-

Sara and Nyssa had started to fight, their weapons out as they twisted and turned around each other, ignoring the fighting around them. "You are still good Ta-er al-Usfar," Nyssa commented. "You can still rejoin us. I can make my father take you back."

"The name is White Canary," Sara commented, using her bo staff to block Nyssa weapons. "And I will never go back, Daughter of the Dragon!"

"When I saved your life, you loved being in the League of Assassins. You loved me for it," Nyssa said. "What changed?"

"I never loved the life. And I didn't love you because you saved my life or because you were a fellow assassin," Sara commented as she continued to fight alongside this. Throwing out kicks and punches. "I loved you because you were a good person. For the life of me I can't understand why you let your father control you the way you do. If there's one person who does not belong in the League of Assassins as much as me it's you."

The words seemed to lessen Nyssa as she paused, and Sara got the upper hand knocking the weapons out of Nyssa's hand and putting her to the ground. She held her bo staff to Nyssa's neck. "Kill me," Nyssa said, defeated, almost daring Sara to do it. Likely because if Sara killed her it would prove Sara was the same person she was in the League of Assassins.

"I don't kill anymore. Not unless I need to," Sara responded as she heard screaming and turned to see the building on fire with Stopwatch and Wild Fire running out. "And I don't need to. Meet the newest member of the League. Wild Fire."

Deathstroke managed to throw something on the floor, causing smoke making it hard to see. Sara felt a push but Nyssa did not go for the kill. "They are heading for the car," Red Tornado said, using a wind vortex to clear the smoke for his friends. He went to attack the car but it sped up to miss the attack.

"I can track the car," M'Gann said.

"No, everyone back down," Sara said, seeing the car get out of sight. "We stopped them. The League of Assassins would break them out of a jail anyway. M'Gann, ship?"

The ship appeared over them and landed, opening the door. The mission was over. For now.

-New Justice-

Kara and Chris were carrying Jason and Ellen into Lois's apartment. After playing all day and Rae letting them chase her at super speeds, the two were exhausted. "You had fun," Lois said, seeing Rae smile as Chris and Kara disappeared into the kids' room.

"It was nice," Rae said. "Being with you and the kids, I got to see a side to Clark I never did when he was alive." Clark barked. "Not you." Clark moaned at that and Rae bent down to pick up her dog. "I miss him."

"I know," Lois said, putting a hand on Rae's back. "Me too. More than you know."

"If I could have saved him for you…" Rae said, wanting to say it.

"No, don't go there," Lois said cutting Rae off. "You can't rewrite the past, and I can tell you moved on from the old League now." Rae raised an eyebrow. "The smile on your face as you are in front of the Hall of Justice. The love in your eyes. You loved them, but you love the new League more. Don't bring yourself back to that guilt. Live your new life. And remember them like the stories you told today – don't live in the past."

"Thank you," Rae said, going to hug Lois who hugged back.

"You keep hold of Kara," Lois whispered into her ear at that. "You watch out for her. That's the best thing you could do for Clark. And for me."

"No problem," Rae whispered as Kara and Chris came out of the room.

Rae communicator chose that time to bing and Rae looked to the message.

"Kara, we got to head to Watchtower," Rae told Kara.

"Chris can you find your way home…?" Kara asked her cousin.

"I got it," Chris said waving the two off, and the two girls left with Krypto and Clark not far behind.

"Want cake?" Lois asked Chris, who smiled and nodded.

-New Justice-

Rae and Kara came into Watchtower, they quickly informed about the events of the day from Red Tornado.

"Sounds like you did a good job," Rae turned to Sara. "So why are we here?"

"Well I destroyed most of what was in the warehouse," Caitlin said. She was in her outfit with her helmet by her side. "But I managed to get some samples and well… I put it into our systems – this is amazing by the way – and the only thing that came up that uses all these is an anti-speed formula."

Rae didn't react to that. "Okay," Rae said with a shrug, putting an arm around Kara.

"You're not concerned that the League of Assassins might be trying to make a formula that can weaken you?" Sara asked, dumbfounded by this reaction.

"It only works once and I already had it used on me," Rae pointed out. "Let them make it. We're not in a war with them. Why they needed to go to smugglers for that though is confusing. I didn't think it was hard to make."

"It doesn't seem to be," Caitlin said, looking at the formula herself. It was very smart. Something she would think of but wouldn't be hard to make. There might be something else there after all.

"Not starting a war with them is a smart move," Red Tornado spoke, seeming to approve.

Rae's cellphone binged. "How do you get texts up here?" Winn asked, seeming annoyed.

"I got to go," Rae said ignoring the question, a smile on her face though.

"Wait, Rae," Sara said stopping her and grabbing her, moving away from the others. She did not want the rest of the team to hear this. "I was so nervous when I had to make a plan. I was so unsure when planning... You always seem so sure, how… how do you do that?"

"I'm never a hundred percent sure," Rae commented truthfully. "But you got to sound sure. That way, the League will believe in you."

"That's it?" Sara asked, thinking it sounded so easy. Make the plan and do your best to make it sound like you're confident in it. It felt almost like cheating.

"Yep," Rae said. "Although it helps that I am fast."

"How does running help?" Sara asked confused.

"No, I mean that I can think at super speeds," Rae said, making Sara blink. "And spent my whole life learning how to make plans to take down villains. I can think up various scenarios in seconds and go with the plan that's likely to work. A bit like Red Tornado could do, in a way," Rae cellphone binged again. "I really got to go. Frankie's texting."

"Frankie?" Sara asked as Rae went to the zap tunnel.

"How do you get texts up here?" Winn asked again.

"We have Wi-Fi!" Rae yelled as she left, Clark running after her.

"What is she going to see Frankie for?" Sara asked Kara, thinking that sounded stranger than anything she had heard lately.

"He's making her a new outfit," Kara said without thinking.

"What?!" Adam and Winn asked together, looking shocked and annoyed at this. "But we… huh…"

"Give it up guys," Kara said. "The one you made is destroyed worse than Rae old one. She made sure of that."

"We were only trying to help…" Adam pointed out.

"Next time, try not to help so hard," Kara winked. "Like I said, if it's not broken, don't fix it. At least the design anyway."

-New Justice-

Rae ran into Frankie apartment and paused at the mannequin in the living room, taking in the outfit with a smile. Blue pants and a red shirt, a slightly darker-red than her old one. There was an upside-down black triangle on the chest with a lightning bolt going across it. The boots were red with yellow lightning bolt on top. Above the red gloves was also two little yellow lightning bolts, around the upper-wrists. Where the pants and the shirt met, was yellow lining, matching the lightning bolts on the top.

"It's beautiful," Rae said, moving towards the window, a smile on her lips, to get it in better light.

"Inspired by your father's, but not an exact clone like the last one," Frankie said. "You've grown into a Flash of your own. You deserve a style of your own. The boots are enhanced to deal better with the speed you run. In fact, you might be able to go a little faster with these. I switched up the material of the suit a bit to better protect you while still being flexible enough to do all your moves – I know places now I'm a bounty hunter. Oh, I also added extra monitoring into the costume and sensors."

Frankie was giving a smile as Rae looked at him. "I updated the goggles, too," Frankie continued. "I have to say, Adam has been doing a good job with them. Try it on."

Rae ran into the costume, changing into it in a second. She stood in front of Frankie and put the helmet on her head. Frankie turned a mirror, allowing Rae to see herself and Clark barked. "Looks good, right?" Rae asked her dog, who barked again.

"Oh, and I am working on making your dog a new costume," Frankie said, making Clark look up at that. "To match your new one, and he's growing out of the old one a bit now." Frankie bent down to look Clark in the eye. "I need some measurements without you biting me…" Clark gave Rae a look who gave him a nod and Clark let Frankie measure him. "By the way what is your helmet made of?"

"You know, Adam and Winn asked the same question and I don't know," Rae said. "Why?" Frankie had never asked about that before.

"I was going to make Flash Pup here one of his own, made of the same, but cannot figure it out," Frankie said. "But I got an idea for a better helmet than the plastic one he has now. Give me a few days on his." Clark gave Frankie a look and then rubbed his leg a bit before jumping into Rae's arms.

"You know, you are getting big. And a bit heavy," Rae commented to an annoyed bark from Clark. "See you soon Frankie… and thank you." Rae hugged Frankie, still holding Clark in one hand who gave another annoyed bark. "I got to go. Aunt Nora and Uncle Henry are fostering a green baby, so going to see if they need help."

"Okay… wait what?" Frankie asked but Rae was already gone. "Green baby…?"

-New Justice-

Tally was showing Wally some martial arts moves, kicking air as Wally copied the move, chuckling.

"You're a fast learner," Tally said, Wally kicking air again in a copy of the move. Wally was laughing and smiling – he was having fun with this. Tally threw a punch, but Wally blocked it, grinning as he got used to this.

"Well you're a good teacher," Wally said, taking a deep breath. They had been at this for hours. "Can we take a water break?" Tally nodded and the two sat down, both grabbing their bottles of water and taking a drink. "So how did you learn all this?" Wally now asked.

"My father taught me," Tally stated. "Since I was young. Taught me fighting techniques and how to handle weapons. He's big on that stuff – and big on learning it."

"And er… will I get to meet your father?" Wally asked. After all, Tally had met all his family, but he had yet to meet hers.

"Soon," Tally said, hitting him on the arm playfully and smirking. "How's your friend Rae doing by the way?"

"Ah…. Good, I guess," Wally said, wondering why the change in topic. "I haven't really seen or talked to her recently." Wally bit his lip. Rae had not connected them, and even Julia and Walter who still went out as Plus and Minus, had not seen her. It was concerning but Wally was jealous of his little siblings. Why were they the ones who got powers? Why did they get to be the heroes?

"I thought you two were like best friends," Tally said.

"She's just always busy," Wally mumbled, not liking this topic.

"Doesn't sound like a good friend," Tally commented.

"Forget her. Show me another move," Wally said, to change the topic again. He didn't want to talk about Rae – since learning she was the Flash, he had to be a secret keeper for everyone. Wally wasn't sure if he was relieved not knowing as they grew up or upset he hadn't known to be more use to it. He kept thinking he could have somehow helped her when she first started, but Rae had never even thought of telling him. She instead relied on Frankie who she had just met.

"Okay then," Tally said, nodding, and Wally did not notice the smirk on her face as she started explaining and showing another technique, this time with her hands.

Post Chapter Note: I hope you enjoyed Sara taking the lead and Rae and Kara just having a fun day with the wise Lois and the kids.
