The Legends Return

Caitlin and Cisco were at the computer in the labs when Kara came in. "Caitlin," Kara said with a smile, going up to her friend. "The baby has started to kick!" Kara told the two and a smile came onto their faces.

"About time," Cisco said. "Seems that took forever."

"Babies usually start kicking somewhere between four and six months actually, so near five months is pretty average," Caitlin said statistically, placing her hand on Kara's stomach. "Would prefer to examine you though, to see how your powers are reacting to this development." So far Kara's powers had been weakening as the baby grew; more of it being redirected to protecting the baby.

"You don't think my powers could hurt the baby as he or she moves?" Kara now asked in concern. This had been a worry of hers for a while, that her invincibility would hurt the child as the child started to kick.

"I highly doubt it. Especially since you're feeling the kick," Caitlin said, knowing how Kara powers worked by now. She didn't feel punches or kicks in the way a human would and if she was feeling the baby kick, that was more than a good sign. "Besides your invincibility is from your skin cells and the baby is inside you."

"And there's no way that we can get over the powers interference and find out if that's a boy or girl," Cisco added.

"So far no," Caitlin said. "It's a shame there's nothing in the Fortress that would help us…" she sighed. "And you just want to know if you won the betting pool." She turned to Cisco at this.

"It has to be a boy," Cisco said defensively. "Kara is huge. Women get bigger when they are having boys than girls. I looked it up."

"Urban myth," Caitlin said. "Just because Kara gained more weight than expected does not mean it's not a girl. It could be either."

"Guys, we have a situation," the voice of Barry was heard on the coms system as Caitlin and Cisco instantly turned back to address Barry. Kara wasted no time in looking through her husband's eyes to see what was up – something was happening in the old industrial area.

"What is it?" Cisco asked The Flash.

"It's a ship," both Kara and Barry said at the same time; Caitlin looking to Kara now in interest.

"A ship? What do you mean?" Cisco concentrated on Barry as he began searching satellite feeds. "Nothing coming up on the satellites…" he added.

"Trust me it's there," Barry stated. "It's big and… people are coming out."

"Close Encounters of the Third Kind?" Cisco tried, completely blind now and trusting on Barry alone for this.

"We know them," this was Kara, still seeing what Barry was seeing thanks to the bond.

"We do?" Caitlin asked, looking curiously at her friend now.

"Oh yeah," Kara grinned. "Ronnie's back. It seems like the Legends have returned…"

"Bring them back to base," Caitlin suddenly informed Barry before Cisco could say anything; her husband was back and that was all she cared about.

A moment later they heard Barry's voice again, this time addressing the team back out in the old industrial area. "What are you guys doing back?"

"We said we would be," Ronnie's voice could now be heard as Caitlin grinned.

"They have Snart and Mick Rory too," Kara stated to Cisco and Caitlin.

"And them?" Barry asked, clearly on the same thought as Kara regarding Heatwave and Captain Cold.

"They are family," Laurel said firmly. "Superfamily."

"Get them back here," Cisco told Barry at this. "We need to catch up…"

"We're on our way," Barry stated and not a second later he appeared with Ronnie before vanishing again. Several trips later, lasting only mere seconds and, along with Laurel, Professor Stein, Ray Palmer, Mick Rory and Leonard Snart stood in the SuperFlash cave – the latter two looking smug.

"It seems we missed a lot… and been gone a lot longer than first predicted," Stein spoke first to the quiet others – Caitlin and Ronnie were already embracing at being reunited. "And it appears a congratulation is in order," Stein added, looking at Kara stomach, and Kara went to hug the group individually, followed by Barry. Snart and Mick stayed off to the side, not one for such intimacies anyway.

"How far along are you?" Laurel asked when Kara went to greet her.

"Somewhere around five months," Kara said smiling at Laurel.

"Wait, where are the Hawks?" Cisco asked the group, remembering Carter and Kendra had also gone off with those gathered now.

"Dead," Snart answered simply.

"Did you get Savage?" Caitlin now asked, looking concerned as she took in this news. She didn't know the two hawks that well; none of them had but they seemed like nice people. They hadn't deserved death.

"We did," Ronnie said. "It's… it's a long story."

"Give the cliff-notes version." Cisco said, interested but not wanting to waste too much time on this. The important part was that they were back.

"Carter died almost right away," Laurel started, for the group. "Leaving us with one Hawk to kill Savage."

"The one who was not a killer," Mick added in with a roll of his own eyes.

"But I trained her," Laurel said. "Thanks to Nyssa and Sara training me, of course." She grinned at this.

"And we had a lot of adventures," Ray added in. "A lot – which all led to us trying to take Savage in the future where he was strongest."

"We almost had him," Snart said, the drone in his voice never changing. "But then Little Miss. Hawk couldn't take the kill."

"So we took him instead," Ronnie said. "It didn't change the timeline but then…"

"I found out Savage was manipulating time," Ray said.

"So we decided to bring him to the Time Masters thinking since we had proof they would take care of him," Stein said.

"Time…?" Barry tried to ask, but the group was on a role. He'd wait until the end to ask what 'Time Masters' were.

"Unfortunately he was working with them," Laurel said. "The Time Masters set him free and were going to lock us all up but Snart had a sense something was going wrong. Kendra and myself were with him so we hid and set the others free."

"But we discovered the Time Masters had a device that was controlling time," Snart added in. "And no one was going to pull our strings anymore."

"Controlling time?" Cisco looked intrigued by this.

"So we went to destroy the device and Kendra gave her life to blow it up," Ronnie said.

"So Savage was still big and we were fresh out of Hawks," Mick Rory added.

"We thought about finding their future selves but Ronnie and Stein had an idea," Laurel said.

"If a force made Savage immortal it could make him mortal," Stein said enthusiastically now.

"And we were right," Ronnie said. "We got a part of the meteor that gave them the powers. It needed to be activated with Kendra, Carter, and Savages blood. Rip had the two Hawks' blood; we just needed Savage's."

"I got that, though," Laurel said with a small smirk now.

"We went to the plaza where Savage killed Rip family," Stein said. "And we fought him as Rip activated the meteor. Once near it he was no longer immortal. And we killed him."

"Stabbed, broken neck, Ray electrocuted him," Laurel said offhandedly.

"I set the body on fire for good measure," Mick Rory added with a wild grin, holding up his gun with a smirk.

"The meteor was like a bomb, but me and Stein took care of that," Ronnie said. "Turned it into water."

"How…?" Caitlin now tried to ask.

"It's an ability Ronald and myself discovered we had." Stein explained. "It comes from the Firestorm matrix inside of us."

"We are so experimenting with that," Cisco said a smirk on his face.

"And that was it," Laurel said. "Savage was dead, Rip's family was alive. The Time Masters were destroyed. Rip and his wife decided to take their son in the Waverider to continue the mission of protecting time; find other former Time Masters who weren't manipulative idiots to join them. First mission was making sure Savage never got to power in the first place."

"They offered us to come along, but we unanimously decided we wanted to go home," Ray said with a small smile.

"So they dropped us off here," Ronnie said. "But for some reason he couldn't drop us off when we left."

"So since Kara is pregnant I guess we got back in good time anyway," Stein said happily.

"Before we get on to that…" Kara realized she had to tell Laurel at least. It had been a while since, but Laurel had just turned up. She wouldn't know. "We have some bad news to share." Kara looked at Barry, he knowing what she was about to bring up.

"Felicity died," Barry said somberly. Laurel and Ray, who knew Felicity best, looked shocked at this.

"She… but how?" Laurel moved forward; Felicity had been her friend – after Sara had originally died they had grown closer and she and Oliver were solid. Laurel had been happy for them.

"The Kryptonian army… they were being led by this… being that could exist within technology. She used it to her advantage to try and kill off members of the wider team, going for Cisco and Winn too, but only managed to get Felicity. We didn't know until…" Kara's voice faltered as tears appeared in Laurel's eyes. Stein and Ronnie held strong but the group could see they were upset too. They had all known Felicity in one-way or another; the tech whizz's bubbly personality made her so likable after all.

"We used to date…" Ray muttered at this, avoiding eye contact as he took in this news. His eyes were red. "I don't…" he couldn't quite form words as the two members of the Legends team who couldn't care less simply rolled their eyes as usual: Snart and Mick didn't care one bit.

"And Ray… after her death your company crashed," Caitlin added soothingly, knowing Ray needed to know this. "It took less than a day, actually…"

"We bought it, though" Kara added in quickly; Ray seemed stunned by this. "We'd be willing to make a deal with you…"

Ray held up a hand. "No, I abandoned my company. It's my fault it collapsed. I don't deserve it. I don't want it back." Ray had been dreading getting his company back from the moment he returned. Despite the act he had put on when setting it up, he was not a man who wanted to oversee a large company. He only wanted one thing now, anyway. "I don't know what I want, but when I figure it out I assume I will have a job with you?"

"Of course man,' Barry said with a smile.

Ray nodded. 'There is one thing I know, though" Ray sighed. "I have to go." Ray turned and ran out of the lab, his mind set on finding Lucy.

"We'll hit the road too," Snart said. "It's been… fun." Snart waved at them lazily as the two criminals left.

"Mrs. and Mr. Allen. I know I abandoned my job here with no warning…" Martin stated officially.

"Your job is waiting for you," Kara cut Stein off with a smirk. "You too Ronnie. Go back to work when you're ready." The two said their thanks as they went to the main labs. We're too nice sometimes. Kara teased her husband.

"Laurel…" Kara now turned to the remaining Legend. Laurel still seemed to be in shock over Felicity as she jumped at her name being declared but recovered herself quickly.

"How's Olly?" Laurel asked. "After Felicity?"

"He's gone," Barry said, biting his lip now. "He left after the funeral. We've been giving him time."

"But… who's protecting Starling?" Laurel asked now concerned about her city..

"Thea and Paula," Kara said, so used to Artemis now she momentarily forgot Laurel had left before she had joined the team. "She's Team Arrow's latest recruit." Kara sighed, tears appearing in her eyes as she realized everything Laurel was about to go through – how much her team and city had changed. Hormones were clearly getting the better of Kara.

"Sara been nervous." Kara pulled herself together, "I'll give you her and Alex's new address. She has some great news for you though!" Kara had just realized Laurel didn't know Sara and Alex were now engaged! At least something good was going to come from this. Laurel took the paper Kara had quickly scribbled the new address on handed her. Laurel nodded and moved swiftly back out of backdoor, a look of determination suddenly on her face. She had to do something before seeing her sister again.

-Superflash-

Lucy was sitting with Kelly as the new assistant was packing up her desk and leaving. "Anyone win this one?" Lucy asked as Kelly looked over the betting pool.

"Not many," Kelly said. "Since that robot killed one assistant people are making weird bets."

Before Lucy could comment any further, a male figure standing by the elevators caught her eye. "Ray?" Lucy said, making eyes turn as she went to her boyfriend and kissed him. "You have been gone way too long!"

"Longer than you think," Ray said. "I'm sorry. I left you. I left my company. I hope I haven't ruined anything else...?"

"I said I would wait," Lucy said, knowing instantly what Ray was referencing and having honestly meant that. She had missed Ray terribly while he had been gone.

"Good," he grinned his charming smile down at her, "because I couldn't stop thinking about you. I don't want anyone else," Ray took something out of his pocket and then got down on one knee. Lucy gasped. "Lucy Lane… will you marry me?"

"Urgh. Again?!" Cat Grant's voice could be heard. She had appeared at the door to her office upon seeing Ray part of her wanting to get an interview from the former owner of Palmer Tech. "What about this place makes people think it's a good location to propose?"

Ray seemed confused. "Barry did the same thing…" Lucy explained, looking flustered but happy nonetheless. "In the same spot actually. After waking up from the coma."

Ray laughed. "And I thought I was being original," Ray said, looking to his girlfriend. "Well? Will you do me the honor…?"

Lucy took a breath. "I… I don't know," Lucy said, causing Ray to pause "I love you Ray, but we were just starting when you left. I need time." Ray nodded, understanding although disappointed. While he was traveling through time he had realized just one thing: He needed Lucy. He could not blame her for being hesitant though. Ray took the ring and put it on Lucy's finger anyway.

"For while you think?" Ray said, getting off his knees.

"So who had proposal and Lucy being unconfirmed?" Kelly called to the office, making Lucy look to her in amazement. "What? This was a bet as well." Kelly defended herself

"I want no more proposals in this office," Cat yelled out to everyone. "The next person to be proposed to, or proposes will be fired on the spot!" With that, she went back to work.

Lucy shook her head and took Ray's hand to bring him to her office. "How are you doing?" She closed the door behind them. "Did they tell you about Felicity? I assume you went to Central first?" Ray nodded, his mind racing. "I know Felicity was a good friend," Lucy said, avoiding the whole 'ex-girlfriend' reference, choosing to take the high ground here. "I'm here if you need to talk. About anything. Her death. Your company. Anything."

"I just keep wondering… if I was here if she would have died?" Ray said quietly, sitting on Lucy's desk. "Then I wonder if it wouldn't have made any difference." Ray played with a pen he had picked up. "And I don't even know what I will do now. I should still have money in savings, but I'm going to need a job. Barry and Kara said I have one with them when I figure things out. Would be kind of weird working for my former company. I mean Kara and Barry deserve my company; I abandoned it and I know well… they are the future from what I saw. My company was never going to last."

"Well, Kara and Barry are being called 'The Company Saviors'," Lucy joked, making Ray raise an eyebrow. "First STAR, and now Palmer Tech – who knows what else. They've also been called the second most powerful couple in Central City."

"Who's the first?" Ray asked.

"Supergirl and the Flash," Lucy said with a laugh, instantly causing Ray to remember how he had left. He had accidently told Lucy the secret. Everyone's secret, in fact.

"Do they know…?"

"Calm down, yes," Lucy said putting a hand on Ray's shoulder. "I have never been closer to my sister before this. And Kara and I have become close as well. Everything is good. Honestly." Ray sighed and nodded happy about that at least.

-Superflash-

Laurel had been running. The moment she had found out she knew exactly what she had to do, and all the way back to the landing site she had been hoping, praying, he was still there. Of course, the Waverider would be invisible now, but she knew its position on the old car park.

Locating a rock, she picked it up and threw it. The clang as it met resistance was all she needed as she didn't hesitate to find her way on board. She had been through all the entrances on their adventures after all, their search for Savage.

"Miss Lance?" Rip was alone in his console room, leaning over the 3D Imager as he looked up to her. "I thought we'd parted company? My wife is just fixing up the chrono..."

"Take me back," Laurel demanded, not letting him continue as she raised a baton threateningly to his head.

"I'm sorry?" Rip looked confused.

"Take me back. I was gone too long. I should have been there. I could have saved her…" Laurel ranted.

"Saved who?" Rip asked, unperturbed by the Black Canary's weapon, but worried now. Sara was in National, far away from Starling. Safe and alive. She shouldn't have died again, surely?

"Felicity Smoak. My friend. She died because I wasn't there to protect her. But you're going to help me change that – and don't give me any of your crap about preserving the timeline after we went and completely screwed it up to save your wife!" Laurel barked.

"Felicity?" Rip seemed to find it hard to catch up. "But she wasn't…? Gideon!" He called up his ship's super computer as Laurel half-lowered her baton.

"How can I help, Rip?" The internal female voice of Gideon responded.

"Felicity Smoak. Year of death." Rip now ordered. He had to know for himself. Hear the words from his computer.

"Felicity Smoak died in 2016, sir. She was killed by Brainiac 8 while helping save the world."

"That's not right. It wasn't supposed to be…" Rip paused, not sure how to tell Laurel this was not supposed to happen. Rip looked back to Laurel, confused still.

"It's not." Laurel continued his words. "Which is why you're going to take me back to save her." Laurel moved over to Rip again, knowing intimidation tactics scarcely worked on him but doing it regardless.

"It's too late…" Rip muttered, not looking Laurel in the eye as he instead turned from her. Her grip on her baton tightened. "If I'd have known I would have without hesitation; but you've arrived here and now. The timeline is settled, it's set. We can't go and save her."

"And yet you tore time up just to save your precious wife!" Laurel growled. Swinging her weapon now in anger as Rip only just avoided it. "She was my friend and I should have saved her!"

"I… understand." Rip breathed. "But the situation is different…"

"I don't care!" Laurel was fighting back tears now, knowing Rip couldn't help, that she couldn't go back. "I should have been there…" She repeated, as if saying this over again would make it right, that the words alone would transport her through time to prevent her friend's death.

"I'm sorry, truly," Rip didn't know what else to say as Laurel finally broke down in front of him, he moving a cautious hand to rest on her shoulder. "I wish I could help…"

"How is this different though?" Laurel asked, his words finally reaching her. "Why could we save your wife and son and not Felicity?"

"It's a wound in time," a female voice said and Miranda Hunter, Rip's wife, appeared in the control room. "I hope you don't mind I eavesdropped..." Miranda looked awkwardly to Laurel. "I think I can help explain this though. Well, a theory on why this happened anyway. Time is unpredictable," Miranda took a breath. "As you must have, seen traveling with my husband, time in itself has a will of its own. It reacts to changes in its timeline much like a body would heal a wound. When you get a cut, its scabs over so it can heal. When Rip took you, when he saved your life he created a wound in time. Felicity's death was the cure to the injury. Time righted itself by taking another member of your Starling team, and now that you have been returned to this time the timeline is completely set. It's healed itself. Time will protect the new timeline now. If Felicity doesn't die in battle she'll die some other way. You may even die in her place as first meant to be. We can't risk any more damage though. She's dead now. There's nothing we can do."

"So when I went with Rip I doomed Felicity?" Laurel stated, her voice hollow now at this explanation, a tear falling down her eyes.

"Like I said, it's a theory," Miranda said. "Clearly something Rip did caused this change, but now, like with any death, you have to mourn and accept. You have a life to live."

"Olly…" Laurel remembered now, finally getting to another point. "She and Olly. They were engaged… Felicity even asked me…" She tried to calm herself down. Trying to accept the truth so raw to her still. "He's gone," she finally stated to Rip.

"Oliver?" Rip confirmed as Miranda watched in silent curiosity.

"He left after her funeral. Vanished from Starling. Thea and some Paula girl have been dealing with the vigilante game." Laurel said.

"Help them. You were Oliver's closest confidant and friend. The Black Canary is needed more than ever without the Arrow." Rip spoke words of wisdom, making Miranda smile. "Especially as she's a member of the Justice League."

Laurel smirked at this as she wiped the tears from her face. "And Oliver himself?"

"Give him time. Felicity wouldn't want him turning his back on the vigilante or hero game forever. Not that I knew her, but I suspect from what I've learned. I was going to co-opt her hacking skills at one point for this mission, but decided brawn over brain was more needed against Savage."

Laurel nodded. In the end Rip was right; they had defeated Savage on skill over knowledge, but still, if Felicity had been with her… She turned to leave but then stopped. "Rip, I don't want to make you think I am not grateful that you saved my life. I am happy to be alive but if I knew it could cost Felicity her life I would have accepted death without a moment's thought."

"I know," Rip said, nodding his head. "That's what makes you a hero. So, go be one. Make your life count. I am sure you have a long one now." Laurel took one last glance at the interior of the Waverider and left. She had to go see her sister, and then back to Starling.

-Superflash-

That night Ronnie and Caitlin walked into their apartment. "What's all this?" Ronnie asked, noticing the mess of the living room papers and books everywhere in what seemed to be in three messy piles.

"Oh, research," Caitlin said with a smile. "I'm going to be delivering the baby so I need to do my research. The one pile is everything about normal human childbirth and conditions mothers might face." Caitlin pointed at a pile that had a lot of books in it. "This one is printed out versions of information Clark gave me on Kryptonian birth," Caitlin put her hand of the second messy pile. "They are pretty much the same. A couple of minor differences and conditions to look out for." Caitlin had a smile on her face as she was talking.

"Also did you know Kryptonians are normally born at eight months not nine?" Caitlin said and Ronnie shook his head. "Since the baby is half-human though it might be the nine normal months. Lois gave me her medical records from both of her births. Both Jason and Ella were born early, but not early-enough to raise eyebrows to normal human doctors. Jason was only about a week early, and Ella was a couple of weeks early. This should be the best indication on when the baby will come, but Barry is not a normal human. His a meta so…"

"You have no idea," Ronnie concluded, smiling at his wife's enthusiasm. He had missed her.

"None, at all," Caitlin said. "It's exciting though." Caitlin was smiling herself. "And I'm 95% sure the baby will inherit Barry's power." Ronnie seemed shocked at that. "Well, Jason and Ella both got two of Clark's powers so with that math alone we're having a powerful baby soon!" Caitlin didn't seem to notice Ronnie's expression but took his hand. "And you know this makes me excited for when we will start our own family."

"Our own family?" Ronnie asked, his voice distant now.

"I mean I know we're not ready yet but in a few years' time, maybe," Caitlin said.

"I don't want children," Ronnie said, shocking Caitlin.

"What?" Caitlin asked. "But we discussed this… before…?"

"I don't want a baby. We're not having one," Ronnie said, flatly.

"Okay, let's talk about this… again," Caitlin sighed.

"There's nothing to talk about," Ronnie stated, suddenly defensive and turning, leaving the apartment and a crushed Caitlin behind.

-Superflash-

Kara was sitting on the couch doing some work from home and laughing as Krypto sat on the floor near Barry giving him the big round eyes of a dog who wanted something. Barry was in the kitchen cooking meat. Joe had insisted they learn how to cook so his grandkid was not getting fast food every day. They weren't the best, but Barry found he liked to grill, which was good since Kara had cravings for red meat lately.

There was a bing on their intercom, meaning someone was at ground level and wanted to visit, so Barry went and pushed the button. "Who's there?" Barry asked, not having been expecting anyone.

"It's me," Barry heard Caitlin's familiar voice, even if she sounded slightly weird. "Can you send down the elevator?"

"Sure, Caitlin," Barry said. "This is a surprise." Barry push the button to send the elevator down for Caitlin and then went back to his meat. A minute later, the elevator opened and Caitlin walked in. "I thought you and Ronnie would be… well, making up for lost time." Barry commented, not looking up from the grill as he added. "Do want me to toss on a burger or a steak for you? We have a ton of meat in the refrigerator."

"No. Um… I just want to talk to Kara,' Caitlin said stiffly, and Kara put down her computer and singled for Caitlin to come sit next to her.

"Something wrong?" Kara asked noticing the look on Caitlin face, the red eyes of recent tears and then Caitlin burst out crying, telling Kara what happened with Ronnie. It took a second for Kara to understand and then she got angry. Barry, please go and find Ronnie and punch him.

What? Barry hadn't heard or understood what Caitlin was saying. But the meat…?

Go find and Ronnie and punch him, Kara repeated, sounding firmer.

Barry tossed the steak he was cooking to Krypto, said "good dog" and ran off. He found Ronnie at Stein's house and stopped in front of him to the surprise of Martin, Clarissa and Ronnie. He stopped and punched Ronnie right in the mouth.

"What the hell?" Ronnie asked, holding his mouth.

"When your pregnant wife, who's mentally connected to you, tells you to punch someone you do it," Barry said rubbing his hand. "Didn't want to but…"

"Why does Mrs. Allen want Ronald to be punched?' Stein asked, having been surprised when Ronnie had come to the house and even more when Barry had turned up and punched him.

"Caitlin came over crying, so I assume you did something," Barry said to Ronnie. "Not even back for a day and you upset your wife. What did you do?"

"She was in a weird mood. She wanted kids and… well I've just got back and…."

"You don't want the miracle of life? Your own family?" Martin now asked his co-Firestorm.

"It's not that," Ronnie sighed. "I just… I can't."

"And why?' Stein added, Barry looking on insistently as Clarissa excused herself from the conversation. "You're an excellent partner. Your skills are very transferable making you a great candidate for being a good father."

"I could pass on the Firestorm matrix to a kid," Ronnie stated quickly. "I can't do that."

"Ah, well then, let me Mr. Allen," Stein said and stood up and slapped Ronnie. "And that hurt me too, but you deserved it."

"If that's your concern there are ways around it," Barry said, thoughtfully now.

"How can I have a kid and know I will not pass on the Firestorm matrix?" Ronnie asked, annoyed.

"You could adopt." Clarissa called out, moving back into the room as eyes turned to her. "There are many ways around it, Ronnie. You don't have to be the actual father to have a child." Ronnie stared dumfounded at Clarissa, this train of thought never having occurred to him. "And your real mistake was not talking to your wife about this."

"We did, years ago when we were younger, when I was naïve…" Ronnie started, looking at Carissa but shook his head. "I just… no I don't want a kid. There's other reasons I won't be a good father," Ronnie tried. "But you're right. I should have talked to Caitlin. Barry, can you…?"

"I can," Barry said, knowing exactly what Ronnie wanted. "But, just a word of advice, try not to anger my wife more than you already have. She's very moody these days." Barry took hold of Ronnie and ran him to the penthouse where Caitlin was still crying into Kara.

"This is where you live now?" Ronnie asked in shock, looking around, but stopped at the glare Kara was giving him. If looks could kill…

I told you to punch him. Not bring him back! Kara thought to Barry who shrugged in response.

Ronnie moved cautiously over to the woman though and took Caitlin's hand. "I'm sorry." Caitlin looked at her husband. "I was an idiot. Let's go home and talk about this. Like I should have done to start with."

"Okay," Caitlin said, knowing they had to talk. "Thank you, Kara." Kara nodded as the couple left.

Barry took the meat he had cooked, noticing the steak he had given Krypto was gone already and put it on the table where Kara joined him. "Interesting day," Barry sighed and shared with Kara why Ronnie did not want kids.

What an idiot… Kara thought defensively as she ate.

-Superflash-

Laurel had spent time with Sara and Alex, glad that Sara had taken her advice and asked Alex to marry her. She had wanted to stay and help with the planning, but they weren't going to get married until after the baby was born anyway, so there was some time to go. They both urged her to go back to Starling though, so here she now was, stepping into the Arrow Cave for the first time in a long time.

Inside was Thea with some unknown woman Laurel had never met. Paula. Thea was going over a mission with her. "Questions?" Thea asked Paula.

"Yeah… Do you need my help?" Laurel spoke up, shocking Thea who had not seen her.

"Laurel!" Thea squealed with a huge smile, running over to hug her friend. No one had informed them the Legends had returned. Laurel returned the hug enthusiastically. "Oh, you don't know how much I've missed you…" Thea said after they parted from the embrace. "This is Paula. She's our new member."

"I go by Artemis on the field," Paula said with a polite smile. "And you're the Black Canary."

"That would be me," Laurel said, shaking Paula's hand. "Artemis… Greek goddess of the hunt. Not a bad choice of alias."

"Oh," Thea said running to the computers and taking out three communicators. She easily found Laurel's and handed it to her. "Welcome back. I guess Ray needs his as well."

"Yeah," Laurel said. "The third is Olivers?"

"He quit when…" Thea paused, not sure how to continue the sentence.

"I know, Thea," Laurel said, looking at the communicator and then at the two women. Remembering the words Rip had said and nodding to herself. "We can't let him not being here stop us. This city needs us to protect it and we need to stick together. We're all that remains of Team Arrow."

There was silence until Thea broke it with "I think we need a new name. Until Olly comes back anyway." The two looked at her. "Arrow's not around anymore. Even the public started to notice. They think he's dead."

"Okay," Laurel muttered, not thinking rebranding was the biggest concern but would amuse her friend regardless. "Any suggestions?"

"What about Birds of Prey?" Paula suggested. "Three females, kicking ass. It could work."

"Nah… besides we have Curtis on computer. When he remembers to show up," Thea said waving that suggestion off.

"Team Speedy?" Paula now countered quickly, indicating Thea.

"Oh God no, you don't want anything named after me!" Thea dismissed, before adding, "But instead, how about Team Canary?"

"You want to name the team after me?" Laurel asked, confused.

"You're the leader now. Well you should be the leader, I mean." Thea was more than happy to give leadership position over to Laurel. She had been acting as such since Oliver had left and it was starting to weight her down. Laurel returning was the confidence-boost she had needed without realizing. Besides, Laurel was good at this.
