Note 1: I'M BACK. Did you miss me? Okay so it was a little under two weeks. Anyone actually upset I was off on my timeline and you get an update earlier than expected? Well before anyone asks I had a great time on my vacation. So much fun and I actually got to meet my beta and friend Terrance Sigma in person. So cool.
Note 2: Be on the look out for another update probably tomorrow with important information.
Note: This chapter wasn't originally planned, but then I realized I didn't have a chapter were Barry officially met Aunt Astra and that wasn't acceptable, so…
Dinner Announcement
Barry was sitting in STAR labs with Cisco, Wells, and Caitlin. He wasn't really listening to what they were saying. "Look I got to run. I got to stop by the prison to tell my dad something before visiting hours are over. Then heading to National. Kara's family is going to be over."
"Telling them about your superpowers?" Cisco asked.
"No, Kara's family knows and can't tell my dad while he's in prison," Barry said. "We're telling them…" Barry paused, deciding on what to say, but then shrugged. "You saw the ring anyway. I asked her. She said yes."
"Yes!" Caitlin cried. "I knew she would."
"Congratulations," Cisco added, "so, err, no hot alien sister?" he asked innocently.
"Nope, only Alex," Barry said laughing. "And I don't think you and her would hit it off."
Not happening, Barry heard Kara say to him in his head, laughing as well. Oh and need you to pick up a few things on your way here.
Sure thing, Barry thought back as he got up and headed for the door.
"Mr. Allen are you sure Ms. Danvers is the one you want?" Wells said before Barry left. Barry looked at him and laughed at that. "I am serious. You shouldn't get married unless you're sure."
"I've been sure since I met her," Barry said, ignoring Kara complaining in his head. He knew she didn't like Wells. "We're a perfect match. We wouldn't have the bond if we weren't." The three knew about the bond from Kara accidently talking out loud about it a while back, but not all about it of course.
"There's no one else? Like that other girl you hang around with?" Well asked.
"Other girl?" Barry asked. "Iris?" Wells nodded and but he could see the disgusted look on Barry's face. "That's gross. Iris is my sister. Kara's my soul mate."
"Just making sure," Wells said with a resolute sigh. "Congratulations, Mr. Allen." Barry gave him a strange look before running off. He didn't notice the look Wells was giving him or the muttering that even Cisco or Caitlin couldn't make out.
-Superflash-
Henry went into the booth and smiled as he saw his son. He took the phone at the same time as Barry. "Good to see you up," Henry said.
"Sorry I didn't come by sooner," Barry said. "I was doing things."
"That's fine. It's not like I am going anywhere," Henry said. "I'm just glad my boy is okay."
"I'm fine and I got something important to tell you," Barry said. Henry waited as Barry took a breath. "I'm getting married."
"To who?' Henry asked.
"You remember Kara," Barry said. "I brought her by once. You threatened her." Henry seemed shocked. "You knew we were still together. She waited for me. Sat by my side every week while I was in that coma. She's going to be your daughter-in-law."
"Seems I was wrong about her," Henry said, remembering all those years ago when he had threatened her. It wasn't like there was much here to make him forget it. "Tell her I couldn't have picked a better girl myself. I'm happy for you two."
"No problem," Barry said with a smile. "And we're going to prove you're innocent. We're going to get you out of here. Hopefully before the wedding. So you can be there. Watch me marry the love of my life."
"I'd love that Barry but you have to let this go. I'm never getting out," Henry said with a sigh. He'd accepted it long ago but Barry hadn't. It was nice at first but the blind faith Barry seemed to have on the whole thing got to Henry sometimes.
Barry shook his head. "You will eventually. Just give us time," Barry said sternly, confusing Henry on the 'us'. "And I got to go. I have a dinner to get to and stuff to pick up. I'll be back soon. I promise."
-Superflash-
Kara grabbed Jason, smiling. Kara had set up for her entire family to be at her apartment for dinner. It meant her and Clark had flown a few times back and forth to grab everyone. Also, everyone was a little confused on why she insisted randomly on this large family gathering.
Astra was smiling though as she was holding Ella. The kids had warmed up to her fast. Lois had been a little concerned at first, letting Astra into their little family but after hearing the full story on how Astra changed sides, and had no power due to the bracelet, had accepted her. It had seemed Astra had gotten her wish the Black Mercy had presented her with. She was a member of the family.
"Pretty," Jason mumbled, confusing Kara for a moment and then realized he was looking at her ring. He seemed to be the only one who noticed it. Kara put him down and put the hand in her pocket.
"Ja," Kara whispered switching to Kryptonese. "Keep the ring a secret. No telling anyone."
"Yes," Jason answered back and Kara smiled. The little boy was very smart. At nearly four he had learned the basic Kryptonian language and English. Although for some reason he still seemed to mess up her name and Kara wondered if he just did that for fun now.
Then with a flash Barry was standing in the apartment with the supplies Kara had requested from him. "Got everything you asked for," Barry said out loud for the benefit of everyone else in the room. "Oh, and picked up some wine. My treat. Not for you." Barry added the last part, turning to Alex.
"Haha, very funny," Alex said. "I'm never getting away from those jokes. Am I?"
"You're the one who had a drinking problem," Eliza said casually, taking the bags from Barry. Her and Lois were working in the kitchen.
"Technically it's 'have'. You never get rid of it you just control it," Alex stated coolly as Eliza put the bags down and then hugged Barry.
"So good for you to be up and around," Eliza said as Barry hugged back.
Astra stood up, putting Ella down to go play with Jason and Krypto. "Kara," Astra said and Kara remembered what she had to do now. She had caught Barry up on everything about her aunt of course but they hadn't met yet.
"Barry this is my Aunt Astra," Kara said. "Aunt Astra this is Barry."
"I hear you were the voice in my nightmares," Barry joked, holding out his hands to her, which she took. "You know it appeared in my nightmares for years. Even ones that didn't have anything to do with Kara."
Astra smirked. "Glad you got the message. I was unsure if you would when I did it. I love my niece…"
"Aunt Astra you're too late for that," Kara cut in. "There's no more death threats to Barry anymore."
"Sorry Astra. She's right," Clark laughed.
Are we sure it's a good idea to tell them all together, here, today? Barry asked Kara in his head.
No need to worry. Astra has no superpowers as long as that bracelet is on her and Clark and Lois are here for backup. Kara thought back.
Who would have thought all those years ago it would be your scary ass cousin who I count on for backup…? Wait, he's not going to be upset I didn't ask him for your hand? I know he grew up on a farm and they are big on tradition…
Calm down. He didn't ask for Lois's hand either. Kara thought back. Don't get your nerves up because you'll get mine up too. Just let's be calm. This is our family. They will be easier on us than Wells was on you.
"So why I am cooking enough to feed an army?" Eliza question.
"You have an army here," Kara joked. "In fact we're better than an army. You have three superheroes here."
"Oh don't tell me Barry eats as much as you two?" Alex said.
"Okay, I won't tell you," Kara joked.
"That's not comforting," Alex said as several people laughed.
It wasn't long later they were all sitting at the table eating when Alex's suspicions were confirmed; Barry could keep up with Clark and Kara while eating. I think now is the time to tell them, Kara told Barry who agreed. Kara stood up. "Okay its obvious we didn't ask you here just for dinner. We have something we want to tell you."
"You're not pregnant are you?!" Alex asked quickly.
'What? No!" Kara protested. "Why would you think that? It hasn't even been a week since Barry woke up."
"Sorry," Alex said realizing how illogical her theory was. "It was the only thing I could think of."
"I think a couple of us went there," Eliza said as Clark and Lois just took sips of their drinks.
Barry and Kara looked at each other and then laughed. "This isn't seeming as big anymore but…" Kara took her hand out of her pocket and showed the ring. "We're engaged."
"That makes so much more sense," Alex said with a sigh as Lois jumped up and hugged them.
Clark smiled and joined the hug. "Have you thought of any plans yet?" Lois asked and then started to ask questions Kara and Barry had barely thought of.
"Lois give them some time," Clark said as Eliza went to hug them and then Alex.
"Aunt Astra," Kara said, as Astra just sat there looking at her plate. "I know you always wanted to threatened my boyfriend, but there's something you should know." Kara asked Barry permission in her head and Barry gave it. "Me and Barry have a Kryptonian mental link."
"You do?" Astra asked, and Kara nodded and then Astra was hugging her. "It's a dream of every Kryptonian to find someone they can make a link with. I never got so lucky. It's the one thing I wanted for you little one." Astra then looked at Barry. "Come here." Astra held out an arm and Barry accepted the hug.
"So have you two thought of anything yet?" Lois asked, so wanting to help with wedding plan. "Like maybe where? National or Central?"
"Actually, we did talk about this. We want…" Kara paused, to drive Lois crazy "Metropolis." That surprised them. "It's where we met, it's where we got educated, where we fell in love. Which means we also want you to help us with the rest of the planning." A smile earned it way to Lois's face as she hugged them again.
"Oh so much to plan. Have you…?"
"Not right now Lois," Clark said quickly, and then mouthed 'you're welcome' to Kara at stopping Lois so quickly.
"Well there has been a small but of planning made. Like Alex, I want you as maid of honor."
"You sure?" Alex asked remembering how she was at the beginning of Kara's relationship.
"Yes," Kara said with a smile.
"Then I'm honored," Alex said.
"And Lois I want you as a bridesmaid," Kara said surprising Lois. "You're like a big sister to me too."
"For someone who didn't quite get our Western culture, you're getting good at understanding marriage arrangements," Lois pointed out happily, remembering back to when she had attended her and Clark's wedding. She hadn't even known what a bridesmaid was back then.
"We also want the kids in the wedding," Barry added before Kara could respond. "Ring bearer and flower girl."
"And Clark, don't think you're getting out of this," Kara said.
"What am I, a groomsman?" Clark asked.
"No, you're going to be taking the place of my father. Giving me away," Kara said. Clark looked shocked, but then smiled. "But that's literally all the planning we have done." The group laughed.
"So, you're clearly going for a human wedding here?" Astra said, a little upset.
"Yeah," Kara said. "But we are thinking of ways to honor Kryptonian traditions too. Maybe the night before. We have time to plan."
"How much time exactly?" Lois said.
"Lois, not tonight," Clark said before Lois could get into any more questions.
-Superflash-
The next day Caitlin and Cisco met Barry, Kara and Krypto at their patch of land, the place where Barry first tested his speed with Kara. "What are we doing here?" Caitlin asked.
"Thought you might want to be here for this," Kara said, confusing them until Clark flew in with Jason in his arms.
"Eliza, Lois, and Ella are at home," Clark said putting Jason down. "They have no idea we're doing this and they never need to know. Got it you two?" Kara and Barry nodded. "You two as well." Cisco was geeking out over seeing Superman up close and personal. "Ready?"
"Some rules first," Barry said. "You people who can fly stay on the ground. Fairer for the two here who cannot. To the opposite side of the field and back. First one back wins."
"What does winner get?" Clark asked.
"Gloating rights," Kara answered.
"What are you doing?" Caitlin asked, speaking up having no clue what exactly was going on.
"A race," Barry said. "See which one of us with super speed is the fastest."
"Let's line up," Kara said.
"J.J, come by me," Barry said as the group lined up. "On your mark." Barry started.
"Get set," Kara said.
"Go," Clark said and then all five were off.
"The kid has super speed?" Cisco asked and Caitlin shrugged as she watched them go.
It wasn't long before Kara, Barry, and Krypto were back. Jason was next. Clark was last coming in and watched as Kara and Barry silently argued. "You can't figure out which one of you won?" Clark asked.
"You were so slow Ja beat you," Kara said to wipe the smirk off Clark's face. "I was in the lead."
"No I was," Barry said.
"Actually," Caitlin said. "To me it looked like Krypto came in first." Krypto barked happily.
"He is on all fours," Kara said
"Beaten by a dog," Barry groaned.
"You should have told us ahead of time. I could have totally come up with trackers to track you. See how fast each of you were going," Cisco said excitedly. "Next time. I'll make them and we can do this again."
"He's a nerd isn't he?" Clark asked.
"Takes one to know one," Barry said, making everyone look at him. "I said that out loud didn't I?" Kara nodded, knowing Barry hadn't meant to. "You know what, if you want to kill me you'll have to catch me first." Barry ran off. Clark laughed and flew after him to just tease him.
Kara laughed as she picked Jason up. "Hey just wondering who's the kid?" Cisco asked.
"Oh Cla – Superman's son," Kara said, not having given the two his human name yet. "You know what? Forget it. He's Clark Kent. You're going to find out eventually anyway. Especially since you're both coming to the wedding."
"Oh yeah where's the ring? I want to see it again," Caitlin said and Kara showed off the ring as she waited for her cousin and fiancée to get back.
AN: Well that's it. Hope you enjoyed.
