Note: For this chapter I am doing moments from Valentine's Day for a lot of couples so instead of skipping around I am going to be going over one couples day and then doing the next. I'm splitting this chapter up different as it reflects different characters instead of events. You'll understand as you read.

Valentines Moments.

February 14th 2018/Valentine Day.

-Cisco and Lisa-

"Cisco?" Lisa said, looking around for her husband. It was into the afternoon and she was curious what they were doing for their first Valentine Day as husband and wife. So, far Cisco hadn't mentioned anything, but she was hoping he had some big plans.

She finally found him in the room of their apartment he had converted into an office after becoming CEO of STAR Gaming. "Hey," Cisco said, looking up from the computer. "You got to see what I have been working on. You're going to love it. Just give me a few more hours."

"Cisco," Lisa said with a groan. "You forgot."

"Forgot what?" Cisco asked turning to Lisa. "It's… your birthday?" Lisa crossed her arms, so Cisco knew he was wrong. "It's… Leonard's birthday?" Lisa tilted her head, glaring at Cisco the same way Cisco believed she used to glare at her victims before robbing them. "Okay… I don't know." Cisco put his hand behind his head and gave a goofy smile, hoping the look would calm Lisa down. It sometimes did, but not this time.

"It's Valentine Day, you jerk," Lisa stated, and walked out of the office, slamming the door to the office and then the door to the apartment as she left.

"I just messed up big time," Cisco groaned to himself, not believing he had forgotten the most important day for couples. He had to make up for this one big time. "Jewelry, decorations… The lot before she gets home."

Cisco grabbed the keys to the STAR van he sometime used and had thankfully brought home with him before heading out. He had a lot of shopping to do.

….

When Lisa came home it was with Leonard and Mick by her side. She stopped in her tracks as she saw the living room completely decorated. Hearts hanging from the ceiling, pink paper chains going from wall to wall – it was like Christmas, but all pink. All they were missing was a pink tree.

"Ow," she heard a familiar nerd and saw Cisco had fallen off a chair as he had been standing on it trying to hang a cupid on the ceiling fan. "Lisa! You're earlier than I thought." Leonard and Mick made a noise, both crossing their arms. "But… I did expect them." Cisco pointed with a sigh.

"Decorations, pasta and meatball dinner, made by me. There's enough for four," Cisco was pointing out everything as he was talking. "Chocolates, flowers, and of, course..." Cisco took a box out of his pocket and opened it to reveal a necklace with a key on it, "the key to my heart, for you."

"You think this will make me forget you forgot?" Lisa pointed out. "You have been obsessed with STAR Gaming since Barry made you CEO. I am glad you found a passion, but you don't think of me anymore. It's like I am not even with you sometimes."

"I told you once you better treat my sister right, and as far as I can see you haven't," Leonard spoke up now, coming closer. "I think me and Mick need to teach you a lesson." Mick gave a smile, taking out his fire gun.

"Wait, wait!" Cisco called, holding up his hand. "Can I show you the video game I have been working on? I think it will please you, and if it doesn't, then Leonard and Mick can beat me up."

"The multiverse hopping game?" Lisa asked, crossing her arms.

"No, no," Cisco said. "Although us, Mutant, and Prime have been tossing out ideas for that. But it's not that game." Cisco took his computer and brought up some graphic designs. "Black Side. STAR Gaming has a couple of be the superhero, defeat the villain game, but this one is being the villain. Steal, rob, and kill…"

"Grand Thief Auto," Mick pointed out, not impressed.

"No… well similar… only in Grand Thief Auto you're only facing cops. In this you're in a city protected by Supergirl and the Flash. You have to pull heists and complete missions while either avoiding or getting the better of the heroes. I was thinking of making a couple of different of these depending on how the first one does, but this one is being normal humans. Thieves and… well you know Kara and Barry own their superhero names and symbols and managed to get the right copyright to the right people to make money from it, and they all gave STAR Gaming the permission to use their heroes…"

"This is getting boring," Leonard commented curling his hand into a fist. "Can we…?" He asked his sister, indicating Cisco. Lisa though held up her hand, wanting to see where Cisco was going with this.

"The point being," Cisco continued, "the villains were in limbo until Barry made the gaming company and started buying the right to them – including my three playable characters." Cisco pushed a button for three character profiles to appear on the screen. "Captain Cold, Heatwave, and Golden Glider." The three looked at each other. "I based their appearance on yours with some differences so they are not clones. Made new awesome suits and have started building the character profile and plot. I changed their human names obviously, since the DEO restricted your names to give you a life when you retired. There will be solo cases and team work in this. And each character is good at something else."

Cisco went into the program for Mick. The character of Heatwave, as Cisco said, was based on Mick's looks with some difference in it. He was wearing a new outfit Cisco had designed with flames on it and glasses. "Mick has the heat gun of course. His skills is physical strength; the muscle of the operations. Human name is Mike Ronalds." Mick groaned at that.

Cisco then went to Leonard, who was wearing similar to the coat he wore only slightly altered. "Snart has the freeze gun as always. He is also considered the brains – the best at planning the mission and pulling them off. His human name is Logan Stewart."

"Then finally Lisa," Cisco went to Lisa character profile. She was wearing a completely new outfit Cisco designed which was gold and blue. She wore a mask over her face. "The golden gun and she's the best at getting into tight places – more aerobatic. And the one who gets you two out of trouble. Human name, Lizzie Stewart."

Cisco turned to Lisa. "See, I wasn't not thinking of you. You inspired me so much I have been laser-focused on this. On making this perfect for you. You're always in my thoughts," Cisco said, hoping Lisa would forgive him.

Lisa looked at him for a moment before smiling and going to kiss his head. "Okay. I love it," Lisa said looking over at the computer again and Cisco smiled revealed.

"I got a problem," Mick said, holding up his hand with the gun in it. "That goofy costume you have me wearing. I don't like it."

"Just designs," Cisco said. "I can take any feedback you have on the designs of characters and game plot. It would be nice to get some advice from the actual characters to make it better now that the basics of the game features are designed."

"You're going to need it, nerd," Leonard said, nodding at Mick. "Let's leave them be." Leonard turned to Cisco again. "You got lucky this time." Leonard and Mick then left.

"Your brother freaks me out," Cisco said and Lisa laughed kissing Cisco again.

"The decorations are nice," Lisa pointed out.

"Thanks. Let's eat." Cisco smiled as he salvaged Valentine Day for himself and his wife.

-Laurel and Oliver-

"I'm going," Laurel said to Thea, grabbing her keys.

"Have fun with Olly," Thea smirked from her spot on the couch. "What are you two doing?"

"I don't know," Laurel said. "Oliver has something special planned." She opened the door, looking back to Thea now. "What about you? Hitting the bars, looking for single men?"

"Well Jack is going to a school dance so me and Paula are going to shoot arrows at targets shaped like men," Thea said with a smirk.

"I'm guessing William is one of those shapes," Laurel now smirked and Thea smiled. Leaving the apartment, Laurel jumped on her motorbike and left, heading for Oliver's place.

"Oliver?" Laurel asked once there and knocking, noticing the door was open. She walked cautiously, worried about what she might see now, to see Oliver using a fire extinguisher on the oven which was in flames. Laurel had to laugh as Oliver turned around, noticing her. "I'm guessing that was dinner?" She cooed.

"Burnt chicken," Oliver sighed, using an oven mitt to take it out and threw it onto the table. "Would our Valentines be ruined if I ordered pizza?"

"As long as it has peppers on it, no," Laurel said, and Oliver grabbed the phone with a sigh.

"Should be here in 30 minutes," Oliver said after a minute of ordering. He still seemed upset over the chicken, but Laurel didn't mind; she moved over and kissed him, thankful of the effort – she could see the candles around, unlit, but there. Oliver had planned a romantic night in.

"Maybe presents," Laurel said, taking her present for Oliver out of the plastic bag she had been holding. Oliver opened the box to reveal some smart looking sweats and tees. "For your gym; a couple of nice workout outfits."

"Thank you," Oliver said smiling. "Hold on." He moved over to a draw and took out a box. Moving over to the couch, Laurel sat next to him. Oliver held out the box to her and Laurel unwrapped it, talking out the snow globe of a familiar looking island. "I had it made specially for you."

"Lian Yu?" Laurel asked, confused.

"Look at the engraving," Oliver intoned, and Laurel turned it around to find a small plate that was engraved with 'You're my island'. Laurel looked up at Oliver, more confused now than before. "When Felicity died, I ran to Lian Yu. I hid there. It's been a safe place – a place for me to hide. Now though, I'll never do that again, because you're my island. You're where I need to go."

"Oh," Laurel said, smiling now at the thought Oliver must have put into this present, putting the globe on the table and kissed him again. The kiss deepened. When they parted, Laurel stood up and took Oliver's hand. "Come." Laurel said as she led Oliver to his own bedroom. Oliver had a smile on his face as she brought him there.

…

A half hour later the doorbell rang. "That would be the pizza," Oliver said. Both he and Laurel were completely naked under his covers, having enjoyed their time.

"Go get it. I'm hungry," Laurel said with a laugh. Oliver got up and headed for the door. "Oliver, unless you want a pizza boy to see your manhood, put on some pants." Laurel called and Olivier blushed as the doorbell rang again. Oliver quickly grabbed some pants before heading to the door.

He returned a few minutes later with the pizza in his hand. "So, are we eating in here?" Oliver asked and Laurel held out her hands.

"Yeah," Laurel smirked and Oliver laughed.

"One moment…" Oliver moved out of the room again, returning with some of the candles he had been prepping before the burnt chicken.

"Pizza by candlelight? Romantic," Laurel nodded her approval as Olly lit the candles and turned back to her.

"Everything's romantic by candlelight," Olly cooed, as he joined Laurel on the bed and they opened the pizza box.

-Jesse and Wally-

Jesse was in her apartment when she nearly jumped as Wally ran through the wall. "Come on," Wally said with a smile. He had plans for the day.

"Where?" Jesse asked. She had not expected them to do anything for this day.

"It's Valentine Day and I am taking you out," Wally said and Jesse looked down. She did not feel like celebrating this so soon after Jax. "Hey, I know Jax's death has been hard on you. Especially with the way things ended with you two, but it's been weeks. It's time for you to go out have some fun and take your mind off things. Besides, I have been planning this for months."

Jesse smiled. "Okay, what are we doing?" Jesse asked curious, knowing Wally was right. She needed to get out.

"Well, running a couple of places," Wally said. "An amusement park day." Jesse raised an eyebrow. "I love rollercoasters and so did my Jesse. Do you?" Wally realized he never even bothered to ask and was suddenly nervous until Jesse smiled and nodded. "Okay, first starting small. There is a small amusement nearby called Adventureland. Smaller coasters. Then running to a Six Flags where there is a Superman rollercoaster. Surprised it's not Supergirl."

"That's been around longer than Supergirl has been," Jesse said, a smile going to her face. "I've been wanting to get on it for a long time."

"Well, you will today," Wally said. "Then finally, Florida. First Universal for Harry Potter World – not a thing on my world and I want to see it. Then ending the day in EPCOT where I made reservation in the world showcase in a restaurant in Paris there."

"Sounds good," Jesse said, impressed. "Lead the way."

Wally smiled as he started running and Jesse followed. Soon they were in a small amusement park. Adventureland. For this park, they went on a couple of smaller rides – the swings, the ferries wheel. Then they went to the small rollercoaster, The Lady Bug.

"Why is the name from Frozen on your shirt?" The little girl in front of them asked the ride operator as she was measuring them. Jesse and Wally could see 'Anna' on the name tag.

"Because it's my name," the ride operator said, a forced smile on her face, and the girl seemed shocked at that as the ride operator let her on.

"That's got to get old," Wally said to the operator, now seeing the annoyed look her face that she tried to hid behind a forced smile for the girl.

"Getting 'Let It Go' sung to me and being asked do you want to build a snowman every few minutes. No," she said clearly sarcastically. "Besides, that's all Elsa, not Anna. Anyway… tickets?" Wally held out the last of their tickets. "Last two seats, right in the back."

The two smiled as they got strapped in and the ride started off. It went around the small track twice before stopping and letting them off. "Do you want to…?"

"No," Jesse said. "Next stop." The small amusement park had been a nice stop, but Jesse wanted to move on. The next place was something she wanted to do for years.

Wally gave a smile as the two found a place where they could run without being seen. The two went to Six Flags. "There are many rollercoasters here. Is there another one you…?"

"Superman ride," Jesse said, taking Wally's hand and leading him to where the ride was. The line was long for the ride and the two had to wait for a few hours before they were up front. The wait was torturous for two speedster, but it was worth it. The Superman ride had them connecting, facing down so it was like they were flying. As the ride was going around the track, Jesse held her hands out in front of her, doing the Superman/Supergirl pose. Wally did after a moment too.

"That was good," Wally said after they exited the ride. "Superman is the only one with his own ride. Don't we all own the rights to our alter egos?" Wally whispered to Jesse and Jesse nodded. "We should talk to Barry and Kara about getting a speedster ride made or a vigilante one…."

"Don't bring that up to them," Jesse said holding out a hand and turning around to face Wally. "If you do, next thing we know STAR Amusement Parks will be a thing."

"But that would be awesome," Wally said with a smile. "I could totally design the rides. Not that much difference from engineering, which I studied on my Earth." Jesse giggled at his enthusiasm.

"Do we have enough time to get on Nightro?" Jesse asked. The two had been walking as they were talking and the sign for the ride was nearby.

"I think we can swing that, but I do want to get to our third stop before dinner," Wally said, following Jesse as they got to the ride.

After the ride was over and Jesse was smiling, Wally kissed her. "I've missed that smile the last few weeks. Come on."

The two went and ran to Universal next. "We got a few hours now before dinner," Wally said, checking the time as they entered The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The two were amazed, feeling as if they had just walked into the book or movie. There was so much to see, but they also wanted to get on the Escape from Gringotts ride.

The two smiled and laughed as they were on the 3D ride, seeming to break into and out of the wizarding bank. "Damn," Wally said looking at the time after the ride. "I should have made the reservation later. We didn't get to see half of this."

"Doesn't matter. Come on, I'm hungry," Jesse said. They had picked up food in each amusement park, but the two were speedsters and needed a real meal now.

They easily got to EPCOT where Wally had made reservations at a French restaurant called Monsieur Paul where they had a meal consisting of an appetizer, main dinner, and desert. Wally took a picture of Jesse eating frog legs, laughing. Jesse told him it tasted like fish though, and since it was fried it was like a fish stick. Pretty good.

"That was good," Jesse said after they left the restaurant.

"Fireworks are starting soon." Wally said, the two looking by the EPCOT ball. Crowds were gathering around and soon the fireworks started to go off. Jesse stared up at the sky as Wally put an arm around her. She couldn't help but think of Jax though at the explosions, remembering the sky still lit up from when he'd died. It was sad, but she was also happy now. Happy for the first time in a few weeks.

"Thank you," Jesse said after the firework display was over. "I needed this… since Jax… I've been wondering if it was my fault. If I hadn't broken up with him in the way I did… Maybe his anger wouldn't have been so bad. Maybe he wouldn't have exploded." A tear came to Jesse's eye and Wally wiped it away.

"It's not your fault," Wally said. "We both could have handled your break up with Jax better, but things like this happen, especially in our line of work. We need to mourn him, but we need to also accept he is gone and have a good life in his absence." Wally bent down and kissed Jesse, who kissed back. "There's enough time to get on Test Track before the park closes."

"I'm in," Jesse said, and the two ran at a human speed to the ride.

-Ha-Pri and Astra-

"I got the tickets," Sara said, coming into the DEO headquarters with the tickets in her hand, waving them in the air.

"Yes!" Alex cheered with a smile and hugged Sara.

"Tickets for what?" Winn asked, turning around. He was sitting beside Astra who also turned around curiously.

"A comedy show," Sara said, "for tonight. We ordered them weeks ago – I went to pick them up early so we could get right in and not wait on line."

"With all the death and fighting we're around I like to laugh once in a while," Alex said, smiling. "What is everyone doing?"

"Well, I'm single so nothing," Winn said, wondering about Amelia now. He had not seen her since the Firestorm and Firehawk training session. She was new to this Earth so he was taking it slow, but part of him wondered if she even liked him like that.

"Nothing," Astra answered. "Karen has plans with her friends so I'm alone."

"Well that's not right," a new voice said and they turned to see the familiar Green Lantern, Ha-Pri. "Hal told me of this day." Ha explained. "I was wondering if I could take you out?"

"OOOH," Sara and Alex said together.

"Why do they do that?" Ha asked and Astra rolled her eyes. "So?" Ha waited for an answer, wondering if Astra would turn him down.

"I'd love that," Astra said with a smile.

"Can we get that taken off?" Ha said, pointing at the red sun light bracelet. He had been told of Astra's punishment and, while he did not like it, he understood why the government put it on her. "I need you to be able to fly with me."

"I don't…"

"Yes," Alex said right away going and unlocking it. "Put it back on in the morning."

"Do you have the authority to do that?" Astra asked, confused as she felt powers come back. It was always an interesting feeling going from normal to super. Like speeding down a highway with the roof down at sudden top speeds before everything becomes second nature.

"I am co-director," Alex said with a smile. "I have as much authority as J'onn. Besides, you have helped us every day since you switched sides. You deserve this night."

"I still have work," Astra said.

"I will pick you up at your lodgings after," Ha said with smile and nod before leaving the DEO.

…

That night Astra answered the door to see Ha with flowers and a box of chocolate. "Hal said this was traditional," Ha said, and Astra smiled, taking the flower in and going to put them in water. She put the chocolate on the table, noticing Ha was still in his Green Lantern outfit.

"Should I have eaten?" Astra asked, wondering what they would do. She had been unsure, not used to this tradition even with her years on Earth.

"No," Ha said, shaking his head. "Come." Astra followed Ha out. The sky was already dark and stars were out as she followed Ha, flying into the sky. Ha held out his hand and she took it, the pair holding hand as they flew into the air. Astra smiled as they flew slowly, feeling suddenly so much younger. She didn't really like having her powers, but flying was something she missed and flying with Ha just made it better.

Ha lead them as they landed on top of a building. Instantly they had a beautiful view of the water before them, and a table was set up – it had a picnic basket on top of it. Astra took one of the seats as Ha opened the basket.

"I think this will surprise you," Ha said as he removed items from the basket. Astra had to put her hand over her mouth as the meal came out, recognizing food she hadn't had in decades. "It's not all Kryptonian. The herbs and some vegetables are. There were some plants that survived elsewhere off-world I managed to find over the years. Krypton's trading partners kept them alive. I had to substitute the meat with a human meat called chicken. I had been looking for years for a meat similar to what we once knew. To think I would find it here though... It's not perfect, but I think this will be close enough to your favorite meal."

"Oh Ha," Astra said, tearing up at the taste of home.

"This comes directly from Krypton though," Ha said, taking the last thing out of the basket: A large bottle of wine. "I have had it for years. I've been waiting for a special moment and someone special to share it with."

"Ha, this is… truly amazing," Astra said, looking at the bottle of wine from home. She couldn't believe he had went through all the trouble.

"Last Kryptonian wine," Ha said opening the bottle and pouring it into the wine glasses he had taken out of the basket before. Astra wondered if she could use the DEO to synthesize the wine, making a mental note to somehow keep just a drop for later. Ha then held up his glass and Astra hers. "There's a human tradition Hal mentioned, a toast. Well, I don't get it much but… to us."

"To us," Astra said, clicking her glass with Ha and then taking a sip. "I have missed this." Astra smiled, and then went for the food. As Ha said, there were clearly substitutes, but it was close enough. She smiled into the food, remembering good days on her home planet. Good days before she met Non.

"Astra, do you remember the day I told you the Green Lantern Corp offered me a ring?" Ha asked.

"Yes," Astra said with a nod. "We were having a very similar meal in that little park outside of Argo. We agreed to continue seeing each other with you in the Corp and me in the military. But things just... didn't work out. The space between us grew and then my father requested I marry Non. I had no reason to refuse."

"Yes," Ha said simply. "Originally that night wasn't set up to be me telling you about the Green Lanterns. I had arranged everything before I even knew. I was going to ask you to join your house to mine." Astra stopped eating, looking up. Ha had just admitted he was going to propose to Astra and then backed out. "When the Green Lantern offer came… Well I couldn't ask you to leave your military career to come with me. I couldn't not take the offer. It was… everything. I thought we could make it work with me in the Corp and you in the military. I just needed to see before asking you and then well… as you said." Ha took a breath. "To this day, sometimes, I regret taking the offer. I could have married you and stayed on Krypton. We could have had kids of our own."

"If you had done that than where would we be now?" Astra asked, making Ha raise an eyebrow. "I would have not been with Non. We would have not started Myraid. We both would have died with Krypton. And if you weren't a Green Lantern, Kara might have died at five, but if she hadn't now she would be on Earth without me or you. Karen would have still been made but had no mother. Things worked out for the best. And we found each other again. Let's not dwell on the past, but think of the here and now."

"Astra In-Ze, you are an amazing woman," Ha said with a smile.

"And I know it," Astra joked with a smirk as she took her glass and took a sip of the wine emptying her glass. "Please tell me there's more in that bottle."

"We can finish it together," Ha said refilling Astra glass with a smile.

-Zor and Eliza-

The meta home had opened about a month ago and Eliza loved running the place. She had several employees, all of whom were either former DEO agents, or related to a DEO member at the moment. The meta house was a part of the DEO, so the DEO did all hiring and background checks on employees to make sure they get the best. It really did work.

"Eliza?" A little girl with dark skin, she no older than five asked, coming up with a card in hand. "I made this for you in school." She held up the card.

"Oh, thank you, Jenny," Eliza said, smiling at the little girl who had been one of the first kids to be placed here. The house wasn't full at the moment but Eliza had a feeling the large house would be overflowing soon. She had just gotten a new born baby girl, who could turn invisible on and off. There were two boys around three here as well. And of course, the metal controlling meta Connor and Karen had calmed down, Frankie Kane, the only teenager so far. She had to wear an ankle monitor, since she had killed her foster father with her power by accident.

Eliza smiled at the heart card. "Okay everyone, time to get ready for bed," Eliza called out to them.

"Ugh," Frankie complained.

"Frankie, you know you're allowed to stay up later," Eliza said, not holding Frankie to the bedtime for the younger kids.

"Seems I caught you at a busy time," Eliza heard a voice and turned to see Zor-El there.

"Oh, take us," one of the little boys said literally jumping into the air and hovering in front of Zor.

"Ryan!" Eliza said. "Feet on the ground." Ryan slowly went and put his feet on the ground. "Zor here is not here to adopt. He's a friend of mine." Ryan nodded sadly. "Now go with your brother and head upstairs."

"Come Richie," a boy who looked the same as Ryan went running up the stairs.

"Hi Mister Zor," Jenny said waving her hand, which suddenly lit up and fired an electrical bolt at the Kryptonian. "Oh, I'm sorry." Jenny's eyes were suddenly wide with worry.

"It's okay," Zor said with a smile as Jenny turned to run up the stairs.

"I'm going to go listen to music," Frankie said, moving past them.

Zor gave Eliza a look. "The boys are Ryan and Richard Kendall. Both have the ability to fly - born with them, in fact. Parents were killed protecting them from people who wanted to hurt them, so they ended up here. Jennifer Pierce was a baby when the accelerator went off. Her entire family was killed in an electrical malfunction that night. She seems to have gotten electrical powers from it." Eliza explained. "And you must have heard of Frankie."

"Of course," Zor said, remembering Connor's excitement at taking on a meta human and calming her down. How Kara had been proud of him. A cry caught his attention. "And a baby?"

"Little girl. Gale," Eliza said. "Parents abandoned her when they discovered her powers. The boys thought you were coming to adopt." One of the employees working with Eliza that night picked Gale up and smiled, nodding to Eliza that she would take care of this. "So, what are you doing here?" Eliza was curious. She and Zor had not spent a lot of time together since he came back into her own foster daughter's life.

"Well I was…." Zor was cut off by a phone.

"I got to," Eliza said, taking the phone and greeting the caller. She listened to the call, nodding to herself. "You can drop him off tomorrow morning." Eliza said, pausing for a moment. "Okay, see you then."

"A new member?" Zor asked.

"A teenaged boy with ice powers," Eliza said with a sigh. "He was actually sent here from Metropolis. Clark took down his father who was using an ice gun. Not sure how he has powers. Maybe should have Caitlin's sister talk to him."

"Seems you are filling up," Zor said, noticing the smile on Eliza's face and knew she was loving this.

"Yes," Eliza said. "I just hope adoptions start too." The point of the meta house was to give meta human kids in the foster system a safe place to be until they could find real homes with real parents. So far though, no one had come in interested in adopting.

"Maybe this was a bad idea," Zor said. "You are busy…"

"Zor, you're family," Eliza said, dismissing Zor's nervousness. "What can I do for you?"

"Well… You see… I missed so much of Kara's life. And I have her now, but she's not my little girl. I love her and the girls. I love being with her, and raising Connor is filling a void from when I sent her away, but… with Connor out with friends and I do not have much to do, I was wondering… I want to know my daughter. I want to know what her life was like when she arrived here. She told me, but you raised her. You can tell me what she cannot."

"Oh," Eliza said feeling for Zor. A lost parent like herself. "I could tell you stories. Just wait until the kids are asleep. Help yourself to food."

Later that night, Eliza and Zor were on the couch laughing as Eliza told Zor about the time Kara toasted their popcorn maker.

"Jeremiah put the thing in the garbage and as Kara looked guilty he decided to run to the store to grab a bag of popcorn for the movie instead. Alex assured Kara she would love popcorn. Never could keep popcorn in the house after that," Eliza told Zor with a smile.

"What of Kal? Did he come by often?" Zor asked and Eliza nodded.

"As much as possible," Eliza said. "I remember them in our front yard training and playing with each other." Eliza smiled at the memories. "There are photos at Joe's. I didn't bring them here. Didn't want kids getting their hands on them or powers ruining them, but you're welcome to see them any time."

"I would like that," Zor said.

"I wish I could tell you I was there for Kara one hundred percent all the time," Eliza admitted, a little down heartened now. "But when my husband died I zoned out. I went through the motions without really taking it all in. By the time I really came back… well, I failed as a mom – to both my daughter and yours. This house is my second chance. A chance to be able to help kids."

Zor took Eliza's hand at that. "One thing I can say is from what I see, you did not fail," Zor said and Eliza smiled at that, not believing it but it was nice to hear. "They are both beautiful and successful women. That came from somewhere."

"Barry and Sara made them that," Eliza said. "They found their perfect partners."

"You doubt yourself, but I do not," Zor said with a smile. "You will see someday."

Eliza smiled. "You know," Eliza said getting an idea, "when Kara first came here, there was a movie she loved. She made us watch it all the time." Eliza got up and went through the movie shelf, finally finding the blu ray copy of Kara's favorite. "The Wizard of Oz. A young girl caught in an unfamiliar world. I think she associated with Dorothy Gale more than most would. First song we heard Kara sing was 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', too. Ever seen it?" Zor shook his head.

"I will enjoy seeing it," Zor said, and Eliza smiled, putting the movie in and started playing it. She turned off the lights and sat down on the couch next to Zor. Zor put an arm around her. Eliza was weirded out at first, but then leaned into it. "Eliza, happy Valentine's Day."

"You too," Eliza said with a smile, surprised Zor knew about the day. Probably Connor told him all about it.

"Why is this in black and white?" Zor asked again and Eliza had to chuckle.

"Just wait and see," Eliza said as Dorothy was talking to her aunt and uncle…

-Cat and Henry-

Henry went into the restaurant to find Cat waiting for him. "Thank you for agreeing to meet me here," Henry said, adjusting a tie on the suit he was wearing. He had told Cat to meet him in a fancy restaurant in Central.

Cat was in a beautiful dress as she turned to smile at Henry. "Well, you got us a reservation here," Cat said with a smile. "I love this place."

"I know," Henry said with a smile, kissing Cat's cheek. "Reason why we're here."

"How's the bar?' Cat asked, wondering how Henry was free to leave the bar on Valentine's Day. "We could have celebrated…"

"No need to worry. I left Crystal in charge. She's actually very good," Henry said. He had been uncertain when Barry asked him to give Crystal the bartender job and possibly make her manager, but it was working out well. It seemed Caitlin's sister had hidden talents. "And I'm sure Amelia will go by and help out Crystal if needed."

"Allen?" a voice called out.

"I checked us in when I arrived," Cat said, and Henry smiled, following the host to a table.

"Henry?" A voice said as they sat down, and Henry looked over, his heart sinking. At the next table was Joe and his girlfriend Cecile. "I didn't know you were coming here too."

"Yeah, well it's Cat favorite restaurant," Henry said with a smile.

"Mine too," Cecile said, standing up. "So, nice to meet you Cat Grant." Cat smiled, taking the hand.

"You too," Cat said with a nod. They stared at each other for a moment before they all went to sit at their tables. "A little awkward." Cat whispered, and Henry nodded. Cat didn't realize how awkward this would be, as the waiter came to take their drink order. Cat ordered a bottle of wine she liked.

"I got to go to the bathroom," Henry said popping up and following the waiter. "Hey." Henry whispered getting his attention. "I need the ring back."

"Are you no longer proposing?" The waiter asked, having been let in on this obviously.

"It's not that. It's just my son's foster father and his girlfriend are at the table behind us," Henry said. "You don't want to talk about awkward."

"Ah," the waiter said. "Will get the ring back to you sneakily." Henry nodded, relieved, and went back to Cat.

The two had a nice dinner together; Henry able to get the ring into his pocket without Cat seeing. After dinner, they went outside. "How about we go for a walk?" Henry said, seeing the waterfront wasn't that far off. He could salvage this proposal. Cat smiled, taking Henry's arm as they walked own to the water and took to the water's edge, looking out at the boats.

"Cat," Henry said after a moment. "I was going to do this in the restaurant, but with Joe there it felt weird..." Cat raised an eyebrow. "So here, by the water is good enough." Henry turned to face Cat and got down on one knee, taking the ring out of his pocket. Cat put a hand over her mouth, not having expected this – and she was a reporter. She usually knew things ahead of time. "Cat Grant, I know we haven't been dating that long, but at our age, taking things slow is not something to do. We must go with how we feel about one another, and there's only one other person I have felt this way about. She was the mother of my child. Since my release from Iron Heights I've been lost, but from the day you entered my bar, you fixed me up, more than you will ever know. So… will you marry me?"

"Yes," Cat Grant said almost at once, not believing after all this time she was finally saying yes to a proposal – but it felt right. Henry put the ring on her finger.

"Can you help me up?" Henry asked, having trouble getting up and Cat laughed, taking the arm and lifting him. "The one knee thing is a young man's game." Henry joked, kissing Cat.

"I got to say, I saw your sons' proposal," Cat said after the kiss. "Yours was better." Henry laughed as they kissed again. He felt lightheaded.

"You know, Barry's Penthouse isn't far from here," Henry commented. "I bet they left the girls with Astra or someone and are doing some big romantic thing only someone with their wealth can do. Amelia is single and probably at my bar, and I have the key to their elevator."

"Are you suggesting we go to your sons' house to have some love?" Cat asked, one of her smirks on her face.

"They have a beautiful view, an amazing TV, and there's a wine store right there. We can get a bottle," Henry said. "Have some private time." Cat smiled, nodding.

…

It wasn't long later they were in the elevator with a bottle of wine and kissing each other. They felt like loved-up kids again. The elevator opened, and they came out of it kissing, not looking in to the room beyond.

"Maybe we shouldn't have given anyone elevator keys," they heard a voice, making them jump. Looking up, they saw Barry sitting on the couch and Kara was lying there with her head in his lap. The TV was on with some romantic film, which Barry paused.

"What are you doing here?" Henry asked, stunned.

"We live here," Kara said.

"But it's Valentine's Day. Why aren't you two on some romantic Island, sipping martinis?" Henry asked.

"It's Valentine Day?" Barry asked, surprised, making Cat and Henry look at each other.

"That explains why we have Garfield," Kara said.

Cat laughed. "We forgot how these two are," Cat commented, finding it all funny.

"Wait, what were you two going to do?" Barry asked, but before he got an answer they heard footsteps come down the stairs and Amelia appeared in her pajamas, not looking good. "Amelia, did you know it was Valentine Day?"

"What's Valentine Day?" Amelia asked groggily.

"Guess it doesn't exist on your Earth," Barry said with a shrug.

"And you should be in bed," Kara said, getting up. "All you have to do is call for me and I will get you anything you need."

"Everything okay?" Cat asked coming up to Amelia and putting a hand on her forehead. She was running a fever. "Oh, you're burning up."

"That's not good," Henry said, stepping towards his new daughter. He never wanted to see his kids sick. "Kara is right. You should go back to bed."

"What about the girls?" Cat asked. "They are young. We don't want them to get this."

"Oh, they have Kryptonian and Speedster DNA. They will never be sick a day in their lives," Kara said dismissing the worry.

"What about Garfield? You said he was here," Henry said, making the two look at each other.

"He's a kid, if he gets sick he'll get sick. They heal," Barry stated, but this didn't calm Cat.

"We'll take Amelia home," Cat said, defiantly now. "I can get to know my other-world daughter. I always wanted to raise a girl, and a version of me raised her so it counts, besides your family is my family… especially now."

"Nice ring," Amelia mumbled making Barry and Kara jump up to see the engagement on Cat's finger.

"You're getting married?" Kara was in front of her, looking at the ring, in seconds, with Barry smirking at his dad from the couch. Cat smiled, and Amelia put her head into Cat's shoulder mumbling "Mommy…"

"That's settled then," Cat said as Kara took a step back, impressed. "Henry you're coming too. Call a car for us." Henry nodded, getting out his cellphone.

"Congratulations," Kara said, now going to hug Cat. "I knew you would be Grandma soon." Cat looked at Kara, confused at that. "Now, Henry goes by Grampy…. So maybe Grammy?"

"I guess I am a grandmother now," Cat said, thinking it over and putting the pieces in place in her mind: marrying Henry gave her two step-children and two grandchildren. "Well, now I will get to spoil my granddaughters as they grow."

"Of course," Barry said with a smile, glad his father was happy. Barry only now moved up and hugged Henry, when he was done on the phone of course. It was only five minutes later that the three were leaving in the car, Amelia with a night bag, and Kara and Barry returned to their previous position on the couch.

"Is it bad we forgot Valentine's Day?" Kara asked, leaning back into Barry.

"No," Barry said shaking his head. Other couples need Valentine's Day because they need a day to tell them to stop, to remember their other halves, and to remind them to tell the person they love them. They need it because on other days they sometimes forget. But me and you, we're connected. We always know how the other feel. Always connected. Always loving each other. We do not need a day to remind us to love each other.

I like that, Kara thought, going and kissing Barry. That should be on a card. It was then that the wind picked up and they turned around to see a blue portal opening. "Now who is that?" Kara asked, sitting back up as two humanoids and two dogs jumped out of the portal, it closing behind them. "Karen, Connor, Krypto, Junior?" Krypto barked at his name, Junior at his. "Where were you? How did we not know you had gone?"

"Your dog decided he needed some doggy love. We ended up following," Karen said, tossing a device to Kara who caught it, recognizing the multiverse hopping device as the one Prime gave them. "Might want to hide that better. I think he has been going to Prime a lot."

"On the bright side, Morgan might get his puppy sooner or later," Connor joked as the two went to the balcony to leave, Kara groaning at this.

"Krypto, have you been going to see Powie?" Kara asked surprised, not even knowing her dog had been gone. Krypto tilted his head guiltily and then ran up the stairs. The two followed him to find him checking on the girls and Garfield, who were asleep. Then he joined Hex on the floor in his spot. "I might need to call Wells. We should get them together more often."

Barry laughed at that as the two left the room to go to bed.

…

It was late at night when the phone woke them up.

"Ray?" Barry groaned, noticing the caller ID.

"Brandon's been born," Ray said, sounded excited and exhausted.

"Congratulations, next time tell us in the morning," Barry complained, hanging up. "Brandon was born," Barry mumbled.

"Valentine's Day baby," Kara commented.

"Actually, no," Barry said. "It's passed midnight here and in Gotham. February 15th baby." Kara giggled, snuggling into Barry as they drifted back off to sleep.

Post Chapter Note: Well I hope you like this Valentine's chapter… on Christmas! It was really fun to write. Sorry there was no Clois in it. I could not think of what to have them do that would be different from the others. I did add a little reference to times gone by, of Kara and Clark playfighting back when Eliza had her house in Midvale. Anyway, I'm still hoping to get Clark in more now though.

Anyway, everyone have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years. Next time this will be updated is next Monday.

Next Time on Karry Universe:

An Uneasy Truth- Kara and Clark learn a dark secret about Krypton and their neighboring planet. Meanwhile Team Arrow has a run in with Darkseid and they might not all make it out.

Karry Master OUT!
