Time travel was weird, Lisa Snart has decided.
Cisco calls the Waverider to invite them to the upcoming West-Allen wedding, and Lisa is wondering just where on the romantic timeline this version of Lenny will be. A few months had passed since she last saw him (those months were needed to get Barry back from another strange development that Lisa didn't understand), and now she was going to break the Cisco news to her brother. She assumed he'd be ok with it (he did give her his blessing after all), but would this version know/remember telling her?
Time travel was weird.
"Ok, our favorite time-breakers/fixers are all attending your little soirée," Cisco tells Barry. "They're apparently bringing 11 people. Four couples and 3 stragglers.
"Four couples, eh?" Barry says. "All I can think of is Stein and his wife."
While Barry and Cisco debate which Legends are no longer single, Iris looks at the seating chart. "Let's just give them one table. Did they say who was coming?"
Lisa looks to Cisco. Did the crew spill the beans on Leonard's return?
"Nope, just 11 Legends," Cisco replies. He gives a look back to Lisa that seems to say, "Calm down."
"You know what's been gnawing at me?" Barry asks no one in particular. "When Snart told me not to sit him at the singles' table. Was he just trying to get at me? Did he know something I didn't?"
"Snart always kno—knew things that others didn't," Cisco replies. "Don't read too far into it. You'll hurt your brain."
"Yeah. Yeah, you're right." Barry looks to Iris. "How's it coming?"
Iris smiles. "So, Team Legends has a table. And we'll give a table to Team Arrow as well. Various other family members and friends are sprinkled in. I think we're good."
Lisa tries not to look too disappointed that she hasn't heard her name go by.
"Oh! Lisa!" Iris says. "I forgot to mention. Would you be alright sitting with the Legends? If that's not ok, I can totally move you."
Lisa smiles. Both because she was remembered and because she wouldn't mind sitting with the Legends at all.
"No, that's perfectly fine."
"Great! Sorry about that! I knew I had you somewhere but couldn't remember," Iris says.
"No worries," Lisa tells her. "You've been busy."
And the wedding planning goes on.
Soon enough, the day before the wedding arrives. The members of the various crime fighting teams gather together in the Cortex for a pre-rehearsal drink. Oliver and his crew (the ones that didn't stay behind) are chatting with Team Flash when the Legends arrive.
"So, we hear someone's getting married!" Sara announces as the team enters.
"Hey guys!" Barry says as he goes over to greet them.
The Legends file in, all wondering how long it will take before anyone realizes Leonard's presence.
Cisco sees him first, but allows Barry to be the first to acknowledge.
"It's so good to see you all!" Barry says, wandering through the time travelers. "And Snart, always good to see—Snart?!"
"Barry, always a pleasure as well," Leonard drawls.
"But… you… how?" Barry sputters.
"Long story short, my crew saved me."
"And will there be a lengthening of the short story?"
"Perhaps. But I'd say there's a bigger story going on. Not here to steal thunder after all." He turns to the others. "Iris, looking lovely as ever. Still going through with this, hmm?"
"Yeah, he's stuck with me," she replies.
"I'd say it's the other way around. But ok."
Barry is still standing somewhat slack jawed at the return of Snart.
"Bartholomew, close your mouth. Gonna catch flies," Snart teases as he walks away to join the others.
Barry wanders to Cisco and Lisa. "Well, this is something. Lisa, aren't you going to go see him?"
Lisa suddenly looks very guilty, a slip of the usual Snart mask. "Um, yeah! Lenny! Thank God!" she yells as she runs to him.
Barry turns to Cisco. "I feel like she knew already."
"Well, Leonard and Lisa were always close so…"
"You knew too, didn't you?"
"No! No of course no—yeah. Yeah, definitely already knew."
"How? And why didn't you say something?"
"A lot of things happened that lead me and Lisa to figure it out. But he did get in contact with her recently and she let it slip to me. Plus, we didn't want you to mess the future up."
"Hurtful, but understandable. There's a story there I can't wait to hear."
"Oh definitely. I don't even know all of it. Let's get you married first, though, yeah?"
"Absolutely!"
Barry smiles as he sees his friends surrounding him and Iris. Snart raises his beer to him and Barry responds in kind. Oh, this was going to be an interesting few days.
