Phoe's Tumblr Drabbles
A Rogue Christmas
Part 2: The Flash
Prompt: "It's not fair that you're hot and funny." - "Look who's talking…just kidding, your jokes suck." (ColdWaveFlash)
Joe was reading the newspaper when Cecille joined him in the kitchen, kissing him softly on the cheek before going to get herself some breakfast. The house was unusually quiet. Wally having left had quieted it down some and currently, Barry wasn't home either. Though Joe knew the silence won't last for too long. Once the baby was born, this house would be the opposite of quiet. And as nervous as Joe was about a baby, he was also eager. He had been all alone when he had raised Iris and Barry, he had missed out on nearly all of Wally's life. This child, he would get the chance to raise it with the woman he loved and this child would have the most amazing three older siblings possible who were going to help Joe and Cecille with the baby too.
"And Wells is really not coming?", asked Joe with a frown as Cecille sat down.
"He's celebrating with his daughter on their Earth", replied Cecille with a smile. "I think it's good for them, to reconnect some. There's been too much distance between them lately."
Joe grunted at that. As annoying as Harrison Wells could be at times, he knew what it was like to try and connect with his child. He smiled when Iris joined them in the kitchen.
"We meet up with the Wave Rider in an hour, they take us to Star City", stated Iris. "Morning."
"Good morning. And... Barry went on ahead, didn't he?", asked Joe.
"Couldn't wait any longer", chuckled Iris with a fond smile.
Joe sighed, though he had made his peace with this a while ago. His son was dating two criminals. But at least both Rory and Snart were working hard to redeem themselves. They had joined the Legends for Barry, to prove they were more than just criminals. They had saved history itself, or so Joe was told, and had helped them with the big alien and Nazi problems. They were... more complex than just black or white, criminal or hero. And as long as they made Barry happy, Joe was going to tolerate them. But the moment they hurt his son, they would long for Iron Heights.

Caitlin smiled as she, Cicso, Lisa, Ralph, Iris, Joe and Cecille boarded the Wave Rider. This ship would never cease to amaze her. A part of her really wanted to join, to learn more both about the technology and about history. But she knew Team Flash needed her more.
"Welcome aboard, Team Flash. Go and get comfortable, take-off is in five", greeted Sara Lance.
"Lenny!", exclaimed Lisa and simply pushed past the other Legends.
She jumped her brother and hugged him, while Cisco decidedly stayed a little behind. Having started to date Leonard's sister was a little... frightening, on the front of Leonard Snart and his husband. He did not look forward to being threatened by the guns he built.
"Pipsqueak", grunted Mick and rested a heavy hand on Cisco's shoulder, squeezing in a downright painful way. "Never thought you actually had the guts to date a Snart."
Cisco winced and tried to squirm out of it, while Zari handed out popcorn to Caitlin, Iris and Ralph with a bright smile. Apparently, she had really been looking forward to this show.
"Now, Cisco", drawled Len as he approached them. "What do you prefer? Slowly freezing to death and being kept around as a nice trophy, or burning to death...?"
"Lenny!", exclaimed Lisa frustrated. "Please stop threatening my boyfriend. Ba—arry."
"Right. Yeah. Right here", yelped Barry as he appeared right between Cisco and Len. "No hurting Cisco, Lenny. He's good to Lisa, I promise. I've seen them together. They're good together. Happy together. Please calm down so we can go to Felicity's party."
"Yes. I was promised food, not a murder", agreed Nate awkwardly.
Mick's smile just brightened as he squeezed Cisco's shoulder a little harder.
Cisco winced, until Barry went to kiss Mick and distract him for long enough so Cisco could escape and bravely hide behind Caitlin and Lisa. The two women rolled their eyes as they looked at each other. Barry sighed and grabbed both of his boyfriends by their hands.
"How about we all go and take our seats now so we can leave?", suggested Sara patiently.

The party was held in the bunker, nicely decorated in what looked like Christmas and Hanukkah had a baby and that baby threw up some glitter all around it. But it was nice, in its own over-the-top way, because it was cozy and oddly homey. At a large table, they had set out various foods so everyone could take and eat whatever they wanted. Cecille and Joe were talking to Diggle and Lyla, Cecille cooing at how adorable baby John was while Joe was trying to get some insight into the whole balancing saving the world and raising a toddler. Caitlin, Ray, Cisco and Felicity were drinking and talking science in one corner, while Sara and Quentin finally got to catch up on each other's lives. Iris, Lisa, Zari and Amaya were talking in another corner of the room. Ralph seemed to get along rather good with Nate and, after some drinks were already in their systems, they went to join the girls, laughing loudly and over the top at something Zari had just said.
"It's not fair that you're hot and funny", laughed Ralph with an over-exaggerated wink.
"Look who's talking…just kidding, your jokes suck", drawled Zari unimpressed.
"Oh, burn", laughed Nate, clapping Ralph on the shoulder hard.
Oliver rolled his eyes as he walked past them. William was coming in handy as he was currently distracting Barry – being a huge Flash fan, meeting and talking to the actual Flash was absolutely incredible to the boy, obviously. A smile found its way onto Oliver's face as he saw the bright-eyed expression his son was spotting when talking to Barry. Which meant Barry was too preoccupied with his biggest fan to hover around his boyfriends. Which meant Oliver would finally get a minute alone with Mick Rory and Leonard Snart. Something he had not gotten the chance to do the past two times they had met, due to an increasingly overwhelming number of either aliens or Nazis occupying them. Right now, there was no danger. Well, aside from Oliver Queen.
"Whiskey?", offered Oliver as he found the two men sitting on an arm-chair.
Rory sat on it, with Snart being perched up on the armrest. The two men were watching Barry and William too, their eyes had been unusually soft when doing so. It was hard for Oliver to wrap his head around this. Two of Barry's biggest villains, just turning into love-sick puppies for the hero who had arrested them before. But the evidence was rather clear.
"What's the catch, Hood?", grunted Mick wearily.
"I know you already got the shovel-talk from Barry's father and his sister, but both Joe and Iris West have one thing I don't", started Oliver seriously, glaring down at them intimidatingly. "They have the moral high ground of not taking lives. If the two of you betray Barry and break his heart, your bodies will be found riddled with arrows."
"And I respect that in a man", assured Leonard with a smirk, holding up his glass. "The two of us were threatening Cisco just before we came over to Star City, you see. There's nothing more important than family, is there? Younger siblings, they need to be protected."
Oliver turned around some and faced the crowd. "They do. And Barry is not my blood, he is still... He is my brother in arms, the boy I tried to train. Sometimes, he is too naive and too forgiving and one day, that is going to break either his neck or his heart. And whatever it is, I will avenge him."
"And I can respect that", assured Leonard once more, sipping his whiskey. "We have no plans of ever hurting Barry. We love him. And I understand why you little heroes have a hard time wrapping your heads around that, but it's still so. But if we ever end up breaking his heart, I think you people will first have to fight among yourselves to figure out who gets to avenge him."
"Skirt from the parallel world dropped by too to threaten us", grunted Mick and put his glass down. "We got used to being threatened about Scarlet by now."
Oliver huffed. That seemed like a Kara thing to do. The blonde was rather protective of her friends too, a quality that Oliver cherished very much about her. Shaking his head, he emptied his drink.
"Hey, doll", greeted Mick as he crouched down behind Barry. "Playing with yourself?"
Barry's ears were dark-red as he glared at Mick and hit him with the Flash figure. "William wanted me to sign it for him. And if you can't behave, you get to wait in the ship."
Mick huffed out a laugh at that and wrapped his arms around Barry's midsection. "You know if you want Captain Cold signed, he's sitting right over there, kid."
William perked up some at that and turned to look at Len. Without the parker and traditional villain get-up, it was hard to tell the relaxed man nursing a whiskey was the Captain Cold. Oliver stepped out of the way when his son ran up to Snart in excitement. That one, Ollie was a bit concerned about. Instead, he went to join Quentin and Sara. It was good seeing Quentin laugh like that again, so happy to have his daughter at his side again, to see her safe. Oliver smiled when William joined him, curious to hear some heroic stories from the captain of the Wave Rider. From the corner of his eyes did Oliver see how Snart all the while was joining Rory and Barry.
"You doing okay, doll?", asked Mick lowly, kissing Barry just below the earlobe.
"Mh. Yeah. It's... nice, having everyone together like this", smiled Barry and leaned back against Mick. "Well... nearly everyone. I've seen Joe turn around multiple times now, checking if Wally came after all. And I know Ollie is missing his sister too."
"Where is the junior archer?", asked Leonard curiously, surveying the area. "It does seem that Team Robin Hood is smaller than I seem to recall..."
"Thea and Roy took off together and the rest of the team had... a bit of a fall-out", shrugged Barry. "Or so Felicity said. They're not exactly on speaking terms right now."
"Mh, that sounds interesting", observed Mick. "Was there fighting?"
Barry heaved a sigh and nudged Mick pointedly. "Anyway, yeah. Ollie doesn't know where Thea is right now, much like Joe doesn't know where Wally is..."
"Wally is right behind you, brother."
Barry yelped and would have stumbled backward if not for Mick standing right behind him and having his arms around his waist. Both of them turned around a little to face a wildly grinning Wally. The next moment, Barry broke out of Mick's hold to hug Wally, soon enough joined by a loudly squealing Iris and then also by Joe and Cecille.
"You know, those loud, affectionate people are essentially your in-laws", pointed Lisa out.
"Can it, sis", chided Leonard, one eyebrow raised. "We try not to think on that too much."
He wrapped an affectionate arm around her shoulders. He hadn't even realized just how much he missed her. He was glad the professor had figured out a way to communicate across time, so they could call not just Barry regularly, but also Lisa.
"They stole our speedster", frowned Mick displeased, crossing his arms. "Buncha heroes they are."
"You're so—o in lo—ove", teased Lisa with a giggle.
"Perhaps we're just two old fools", sighed Leonard and leaned against his husband. "Aren't we?"
"Apparently", grumbled Mick, tilting his head to kiss Leonard. "Otherwise we wouldn't have fallen in love with an oversized puppy-dog set on saving the world."
"Says the time-traveling hero", snorted Lisa. "Pardon me, the time-traveling legend."
