Oliver had not thrown too huge a party, really it was just their closest friends who could actually know the truth about how Laurel came back, so really it was just his team and Team Flash, were currently celebrating the defeat of Savitar and saving Iris's life.
"So, I guess we've both found ways to save the women we love from death." Barry said to Oliver with a smile.
"What are you talking about? Sara's the one who saved Laurel." Oliver said.
"Maybe, but I notice you didn't deny loving her." Barry said with a smile.
"Laurel's always been special to me Barry, she's basically my Iris. We've known each other since we were kids, practically grew up together, then things got complicated." Oliver said.
"Well, now that she's back, maybe you should try and uncomplicate them." Barry suggested.
"We're already working on that. I told her how I really feel about her the night she came back." Oliver said.
"And considering she's becoming your new District Attorney, I'm guessing she took it well." Barry said with a smile.
"You could say that. But enough about my love life, how about yours, have you and Iris set a date yet?" Oliver asked.
"Not yet. I mean, considering we weren't even sure if she'd survive long enough to get married, we weren't too active on the planning, but now we are." Barry said as he raised his glass and Oliver raised his.
"To saving the day." Barry said.
"To reuniting with our loved ones." Oliver said.
"Cheers." Barry said.
"Congratulations Iris. You and Barry deserve to be happy together." Laurel said as she examined Iris's engagement ring.
"Thanks, but anyway, what about you? I mean I know you literally just came back from the dead, but still." Iris asked.
"There's one guy. Really the only guy I've ever thought about in that way. And I'm pretty sure he feels similarly." Laurel said.
"Let me guess, Oliver Queen." Iris said.
"Yep, is it that obvious?" Laurel asked.
"Only to someone who knows a complicated love story when you look at one considering I think Barry and I might be the poster children for complicated relationships." Iris said.
"Sorry, but I think Oliver and I beat you out on that one." Laurel said with a smile as Thea approached them.
"Hey Thea." Iris said.
"Hey, so Laurel, you excited to move back into our place. I have admit, it's gotten kind of lonely without you there." Thea said.
"Yeah, I'm excited, though I'm not sure how often I'll actually be sleeping there." Laurel said with a smile.
"TMI." Thea said.
"So, I notice Dinah is here, but where's Team Arrow's other female member?" Iris asked.
"Why don't you tell us the same thing about Team Flash's other female member." Thea said.
"Caitlin lost her battle with Killer Frost. We have her locked up in the Pipeline at Star Labs until we can find a way to at least remind her of who she really is. Now what happened to Felicity?" Iris asked.
"Felicity betrayed us for this hacktivist group called Helix." Thea said.
"Wow, that sucks." Iris said.
"Tell me about it. From what I hear, she was the only member of the original team that didn't abandon the mission after my death. And from what I hear, right now, John is still trying to get Oliver put the hood back on." Laurel said, looking at Thea.
"I didn't like what I had become as Speedy. I needed to figure out who I was without that red hood." Thea said.
"Well, from what Oliver told me, you were better with the hood than you've been without it for the past year." Laurel said.
"Yeah, maybe you're right. But that's not the point. The point is that if she chose to, Felicity could do some serious damage against us." Thea said.
"Hey, this is a party, so why don't we start treating it like one." Iris said with a smile.
"Good idea." Laurel said with a smile as Oliver called a toast.
"A few months ago when we were celebrating a very similar event, I made a toast about how we should embrace the miracles of life and allow them to remind us that they're still possible. I think that proves to be even more true today. It's true that each person in this room has suffered through tragedies and betrayals of some sort or another, seeing a woman that was loved by everyone here who knew her, reminds us, reminds me especially, that while the world is full of darkness, it also can have light if you let it. And with that in mind, I'd like to say welcome home Laurel. To Laurel." Oliver said, raising his glass.
"To Laurel." John said as he raised his glass.
"To Laurel." said Thea.
"To Laurel." Quentin said.
"To Laurel." Curtis, Rene, Dinah, Rory (who'd come back for the celebration), Barry, Iris, Cisco, H.R., Joe, Wally, and Jesse (who'd returned to Earth One after Barry had trapped Savitar in a more escape proof prison in the speed force and gotten Jay out of it) all said as they also raised their glasses.
