Alright, people. Here we go. The wedding chapter.
Let's get to it.
I've gotten a couple of reviews regarding the double wedding. Don't worry. If I do do it, it will not be invasive on Barry and Wanda like Oliver and Felicity, mainly Felicity, were on Barry and Iris in the crossover.
BTW, whenever Jax and Stein are merged, I'm just going to refer to them as Firestorm. It's easier that way.
Guest: I didn't want to put Diana in the story too soon, or else things would be too easy for our heroes. She'll be showing up later.
Guest: I'll eventually be doing a team up between Carol and Kara. Not sure when, but it will happen.
Stand With Ward and Queen: Fair point about Shuri. I forgot how young she actually is. And after verything in the aftermath of the Decimation, Kara has gotten far more humble.
Aragorn II Elessar: I intentionally put Lyla, as in Clint's daughter. And I totally forgot about Lisa. And since I brought back Leonard for Sara, I may actually do Lisa for Cisco. Thanks for reminding me of that ship.
Chapter 4- The Wedding
On the Allen farm, the sun is just rising as one of the Allens' chickens crows. In her and Barry's bedroom, Wanda turns over in bed, half awake. Recognizing that Barry isn't in bed, she lifts her head up and looks around, and sees a tray of breakfast on her bedside table, and a note which reads, "It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride on the wedding day."
Wanda smiles as she looks at the note. She then sits up and starts to eat the breakfast Barry cooked for her, feeling very excited for the day.
(West House)
As the guests staying over at the West house are starting to wake up and get ready, the door flings open and Barry races in, with a bag containing his suit in it.
"Alright, guys. Time to get ready," he says, and he, Cisco, Steve, and Oliver head upstairs to get dressed.
(Allen farm, a short time later)
Wanda smiles a bit, as she feels Natasha and Laura doing her hair, while Caitlin touches up her makeup.
"Are you nervous?" Caitlin asks.
"No. Mainly since I've married Barry once already. Now I'm just excited to be able to share this with all of our family and friends," Wanda says.
Natasha and Laura stop their work on her hair, and Laura says, "All done, sweetie."
"Let's get you into your dress," Natasha says with a smile, making Wanda smile as well.
(The church)
It's now late morning in Central City. It's a sunny, clear day. A perfect day for a wedding.
At the church, Mick walks into the church. The host comes up to him and says, "Welcome to the Maximoff-Allen wedding. May I show to your seat? Are you here for the bridge or groom?"
"Well, considering I've tried to kill the groom a couple of times, it's probably best I, uh, sit on the bride's side," Mick says.
The host nervously chuckles, then says, "Well, that would be the left side."
"Great," Mick says as he walks up the aisle, and plunks down on one of the benches, looking very bored.
Up at the front, Barry is standing at the altar, fidgeting with his tie. Steve, as his best man, and Oliver and Cisco as his groomsmen, are standing beside him. On the other side, Caitlin is standing as maid of honor with Natasha and Shuri as bridesmaids.
"Calm down, Barry," Steve says.
"I know. I just want this day to be perfect for her," Barry says.
"I know. But, knowing Wanda, if she's marrying you, then this day will be perfect to her no matter what," Steve says, drawing a smile to Barry's face.
Slowly, the rest of the heroes makes their way into the church and take their seats.
The Bartons are the last ones in, and Clint and Laura are leasing Nora and Stephen, who are dresses up in their own little outfits. Nora looks delighted, but Stephen doesn't look the most happy to have to be dressed in a little suit.
They bring the two kids up to the altar and set them down near Barry. Barry and Wanda had decided they wanted the twins to be standing with them during the ceremony.
"Alright. Now, you two behave. Just stand here with your mommy and daddy," Clint says. Nora and Stephen both nod.
Kara and Alex are the last into the church. As they make their way up the aisle, they hear some musicians start playing music.
"That's my cue," Kara whispers to Alex, who quickly takes her seat as Kara hurries up front.
Kara smiles at Barry and the others as she takes her place at the front, in front of a microphone. She adjusts her glasses, then begins to sing "Running Home to You", the song Barry sand when he initially proposed to Wanda in Wakanda.
The door to the church opens, and everyone turns and stands up as they watch Pietro and Wanda walk into the church, with Wanda holding onto the Pietro's arm. Pietro is wearing a very nice. Wanda is wearing a white, sleeveless, A-line style wedding dress.
Barry smiles, a few tears coming to his eyes as he sees how beautiful his wife is. Wanda tears up a little as well as she smiles at her husband standing at the altar.
Everyone in the crowd, save Mick, who is fast asleep, smiles as they watch Wanda walk up the aisle. Finally, they reach the front, And Pietro hands Wanda off to Barry.
"You do anything to me sister, remember that I am a speedster like you, and therefore actually can kill you," Pietro says.
"I know," Barry responds.
Pietro smiles and nods, then takes his place on the front row of the bride's side.
"Everyone, please be seated," the priest says. Everyone takes their seats.
"Welcome to you all. I'm honored to be president over the wedding of Barry Allen and Wanda Maximoff. Although I don't know them well, I know that this is a good match. How do I know that? Well…because of you. Because of all of you. Looking out over their friends and family, and seeing the joy on all their faces. Seeing how happy you are for them, tells me everything I need to know. It tells me that these two people deserve to be together. They deserve to be happy. And they deserve a long life together," the priest. He pauses for a brief second, then says, "And now to the standard housekeeping. Does anyone have just cause why these two should not be married?" Speak now, or forever hold your peace."
Right then, two beams of energy hit the priest and disintegrate him. Everyone gasps and stands up, turning around towards the doors, where a number of men in black combat outfits and black masks, all wielding assault rifles, are walking in. At their head is Dark Arrow, Militant, a caped woman in black, and a man who looks just like Prometheus.
"Peace is overrated," the caped woman says.
"OMG," Wanda says.
Steve narrows his eyes as he recognizes the skull symbol on the arms of the men's suits. "HYDRA," he says in a low voice.
"Oh, boy," Oliver says.
The HYDRA soldiers start firing their guns. With ease, Barry and Pietro race into the path of the bullets, catching almost all of them while Wanda erects an energy shield over her, the twins, and the groomsmen and bridesmaids to protect them from the last few bullets. She then picks up the twins and hurries off of the platform and crouches down behind a bench.
Jax and Professor Stein look at each other, then grasp hands and merge into Firestorm. Firestorm then throws down a fireball, which blows up several benches, kills a few soldiers, and knocks more flying.
Kara whips off her glasses and shouts, "Get everybody out of here!"
"Get as many people out of here as you can," Barry says to Wally and Pietro, who both nod and race off to start evacuating people.
Barry turns to Wanda. "Take the twins and get out of here," he says.
She nods, then says simply, "I love you."
"I love you, too," Barry says, giving Wanda a brief kiss on the forehead before standing up. Wanda gathers up the twins in her arms and hurries out of the church.
Harry, Shuri, and Rhodey start working to help herd people out of the building.
Natasha rips the skirt of her dress, freeing up her movement a little bit, then races into the approaching HYDRA soldiers. Alex does the same thing. As they start attacking HYDRA soldiers, Steve, Bruce, and Loki lunge into the crowds, using their fists to bring down any HYDRA soldier they can.
As she does, Cisco, who is crouching next to Caitlin behind a bench, says to her, "I think it's time you introduce these guys to your mean roommate."
Caitlin glances him, then looks down at the ground and sighs a bit as Killer Frost takes over. A moment later, Frost says, "Where did she get this outfit?" before standing up and shooting icicles from her hands.
Mick glances back from where he's crouching and sees Frost. He smirks, then stands up, saying, "That's what I'm talking about." As he stands up, he pulls out his heat gun, which he brought to the wedding, and starts firing it at the soldiers.
Those without weapons, namely Natasha, Alex, Steve, Bruce, and Loki continue engaging the HYDRA soldiers at close range, knocking them out. On one side of the church, HYDRA soldiers attempt to shoot a woman who hadn't left the church quickly enough. However, as they fire, Wally races in front of her, grabs some of the bullets out of the air, then throws one back into the barrel of each soldier's gun, making them blow up and throwing the soldiers back.
Meanwhile, Kara is staring down the caped woman. "Who are you?" she demands.
"Come find out," the caped woman responds before flying right at Kara. Kara flies to meet her, and the two clash, flying up through the roof of the church. Outside, the woman manages to grab Kara and throw her down onto the roof of the church. Kara quickly recovers and prepares to face the woman again.
Meanwhile, inside the church, Oliver, having helped some people to safety, takes shelter behind a pillar as Dark Arrow is firing arrows. He presses a button, and a bow hidden inside his sleeve springs out.
As he prepares to fire, he sees Dark Arrow aim an arrow at Harry. Oliver fires an arrow of his own, blocking Dark Arrow's arrow. Oliver and Harry exchange a quick glance.
On one side of the church, Natasha and Bruce, now fighting together, take down a HYDRA soldier, then stops and narrows her eyes as Prometheus steps in front of them.
"One wedding, two funerals," Prometheus says.
Natasha smirks. "You ready to die?" she asks.
Prometheus responds by unsheathing a second sword. He spins through the air, bringing his two swords down at Natasha. She easily dodges it, and she and Bruce start engaging Prometheus.
Meanwhile, Steve is trying to fight back against some of the HYDRA soldiers. As he knocks out the last two closest to him, he glances up, then ducks just in time to avoid getting hit by Militant's shield. The shield flies back to Militant before the man smirks and says, "Time to die." He then lunges to attack Steve, who lunges to meet him.
The other heroes are still wrecking the HYDRA soldiers. Firestorm flies around, throwing fireballs. Cisco is blasting soldiers with his vibe blasts. Mick is roasting soldiers with his gun while Frost is attacking with a blade of ice around her arm.
At the same time, outside, Kara and the caped woman are flying around each other, trying to get an advantage. Kara fires her heat vision, but the caped woman responds with her own. The two pour more into their heat vision, trying to gain an advantage, as onlookers watch from the ground.
Inside the church, Wally is knocking out HYDRA soldiers when he has to whip around to catch an arrow fired by Dark Arrow. He starts to smirk and prepares to run at Dark Arrow before an energy discharge from the arrow makes him collapse.
Seeing that, Oliver decides to end this. "Cisco, up top. I need a breach!" he says.
Cisco opens a breach, and Oliver jumps into it. Leaping out the other side on the balcony, he fires an arrow at Dark Arrow, who deflects it off his bow. Dark Arrow then rushes at Oliver, and the two commence fighting.
Down on the ground, Natasha and Bruce are still fighting Prometheus. However, it's not much longer before Prometheus makes an error and swing a little too wildly. Natasha takes advantage of it and manages to grab his wrist. She then elbows him in the face before Bruce delivers a punch to the head powerful enough to knock him out.
Natasha and Bruce look down at Bruce, then at each other and exchange a high five before turning around to engage more HYDRA soldiers.
Meanwhile, outside, the caped woman manages to get close enough to Kara that she is able to grab Kara around her throat. The caped woman then throws Kara through the roof of the church. Kara crashes inside, sending out debris that knocks out Cisco.
The caped woman flies down through the hole, looking down at Kara, who is struggling to regain her feet, and says, "Stay down."
Kara narrows her eyes. She then gets up, turns around, and claps her hand once, sending out a shockwave that shatters the windows, forces all combatants to stop, and dazes the caped woman. Kara then grabs the caped woman and punches her in the stomach, knocking her back to right below the balcony.
"No!" Dark Arrow cries. He jumps down and slings the caped woman over his shoulder before saying, "Fall back. Everybody fall back!" He then throws down a flash-bang, causing everyone in the church to look away.
As the light fades, everyone looks around, and sees that Dark Arrow, the caped woman, Militant, and the remaining HYDRA soldiers are all gone.
"Best wedding ever!" Mick says loudly.
And, I'll end there.
