Note: I would like to note here I never actually said when Kara and Barry got married. So now they have a month.
Through the Years
-Mid May-
Kara, Barry called through the bond, running into the penthouse where Kara was with the girls. "You know our anniversary is coming up…" Barry started, and Kara nodded.
"I know the day we got married," Kara said with a smile, the two girls eating.
Well we didn't get to celebrate last year because you were on bedrest, Barry thought back, remembering Kara's pregnancy as he smiled, wiping food off Alura's face. "I figured we would do something extra special this year. I rented a house… by the lake we got married. It's beautiful and big enough we can have everyone there. Well might be a little cramped with everyone, but worth it for one weekend."
"The entire super family," Kara said with a smile. "I like."
"We leave tomorrow. Clark and Lois will meet us there tomorrow afternoon with the kids. Everyone else, the day after on Saturday," Barry said.
"What about Amelia?" Kara asked.
"She will come with Lena the next day. All arrangements are made." Barry said with a smirk. "The CatCo plane will take people from National. STAR Co. plane will take some people, and then head to Gotham for Ray and Lucy. L-Corp plane will head to Starling. I took care of everything, so all you have to do is nothing but enjoy."
"Oh, my hero," Kara said with a laugh and then kissed Barry. That sounds great.

The next day, Barry ran with the kids in their stroller. The two girls were laughing, having fun and he could see Kara flying overhead with Hex and Krypto – the Kryptonians had their bags. It was kind of funny seeing Hex carry one in her mouth as she flew. Barry stopped in front of the house and Kara and her pets landed next to them.
"Wow," Kara said. The house was large, with trees around the place, gave them privacy and the house was right by the lake. She'd almost forgotten what the place looked like, it had been a long time since she was last here, marrying Barry.
"Three floors, plus an attic," Barry was saying. "Come." Barry opened the door with a key he had as they walked in to a very large living room where Kara, Krypto, and Hex dropped the bags they were carrying. "There are a lot of bedrooms upstairs. I'll show you the master later." Barry gave Kara a smirk. "First floor has living room, dining room… kitchen."
"Come on," Barry said, heading towards the back. They were right on the lake, but in the backyard, was also a pool. "Heated pool, cold lake." Kara chuckled at the joke. At this time of the year the lake water would be extra cold. Kara looked up at the mountains, smiling at the beautiful sight. "The boat on the dock is ours to use and so is everything in that boat house over there. And that grill." Barry pointed at a shiny grill on the deck.
"Ah, I know what we are doing tomorrow," Kara said with a smirk. Barry had a thing with grilling meat.
"Yes, I'm going to go to this meat place I hear is amazing. Some famous TV chief orders all her meat from there," Barry said. "In fact, going to head there now. And then stop in town to make reservations for tonight dinner with Clark and Lois."
Have fun, Kara thought, kissing them. "I'm going to put the girls in their bathing suits and floaties." Kara smiled at the pool, taking the girls out of their stroller and going to change them as Barry ran out.
By the time Clark and Lois showed up with Jason and Ella in tow, Kara was in the pool with the girls, both in a float laughing as they splashed water at super speeds. Kara was laughing as she gave them tiny splashes back and Krypto was swimming in the pool as well. Hex was lazily laying out in the sun.
Musty barked and jumped into the pool, running at her father and licking him when she got close. Musty did not see Krypto as much as Junior did, so while Junior was calm around his father, Musty did get a little eager at seeing him – something Kara could tell her dog did not like. "Aunt Kara," Ella and Jason called out. "Can we come swimming?"
"Of course, my little ones," Kara said with a laugh as Clark and Lois laughed now.
"Oh, I think I'll join too," Clark said smiling.
"This place is nice," Lois said looking around. "Although it could use some redecorating."
"We only rented it, Lois," Kara said, splashing out water at them which Lois dodged. Hex meowed, annoyed at getting hit herself. "Sorry Hex."
Soon Clark, Jason, and Ella were in the pool with Kara and the kids and Clark took the opportunity to play with his cousin. Grabbing her from behind and bringing her underwater. The girls laughed, watching their mom and uncle playfight. It had been a long time since the two playfought.
Jason and Ella smiled, holding onto the girl's tubes so to keep them still and to play with their cousins. Krypto and Musty had jumped out of the pool, avoiding the little waves the two other Kryptonian made and shook out their fur; the water hitting into Hex who meowed and jumped up onto the lawn chair, Lois was sitting on laughing. Lois reached over to pet the cat.
Soon Barry was standing beside Lois.
"Again," Barry said, tossing keys into the air and catching them.
"First time I have seen them do it in a pool," Lois said, smiling at Barry. The two had sat on the side a lot, watching Kara and Clark play fight many times. The two were used to it.
Don't destroy the pool, Barry thought to his wife, but could feel her amusement. Kara loved playing with her cousin and it was something they did not get to do a lot anymore. Barry was happy for her when she could. The two stopped soon after that and Kara took the girls out of their floats, with Clark's help, the four exiting the pool and letting Jason and Ella play.
"Musty!" Ella yelled at her dog, who jumped into the pool to join the two.
"What's with the car keys?" Kara asked, seeing the keys in Barry hand.
"Well, it's not easy to bring all that meat here by hand, even for the Flash. I rented a pick-up truck. Also, had to stop at the grocery store and grab some supplies. We're stocked," Barry said. "Hotdogs, hamburgers, steak, chicken…. Everything you could possibly want for a BBQ."
"And the dinner reservations for tonight?" Lois asked, turning to Barry. She had picked out the restaurant after all.
"Made," Barry said with a smile. "Great choice Lois."
"Seems you two have planned everything," Kara said with a smile.
"And we have a couple of hours before the meal," Barry said.
"I got a question. What's the sleeping arrangement?" Clark asked with a smirk.
"For tonight, it's anywhere," Barry said. "Tomorrow, more sharing done. Jason and Ella will share with Robin." Dick was coming along with his son and Barbra Gordon along with Roy. They were choosing to find their own way instead of having a plane pick them up. "Now I'm going to go for a swim myself." Barry kissed his girls before kissing Kara. He ran out and returned in a second, changed into a bathing suit.
He jumped into the pool, causing a big splash. "Uncle Barry!" Jason and Ella complained.
"Come on J.J., Ella," Barry called, out splashing at them. The two kids smirked at each other before going to splash back. Clark handed Alura to Lois, who smiled at the wet babies before going into the pool joining Barry as his kids ganged up on him.
Hex meowed at all the water, coming up and ran into the house causing Kara to laugh. "Lois, help me get these two dry and into clothes," Kara asked, Lois smiled, getting up and following Kara.
"Really this place could be really beautiful with…"
"Rented," Kara reminded Lois, who laughed as they went up to the room where Kara had out the girls' stuff before.
….
That night Clark, Kara, Barry, Lois, and the kids were at the restaurant sitting at a table. The girls were in their highchair, making a mess out of a piece of bread. Jason and Ella were waiting patiently for their chicken fingers. "I got to say, this is a beautiful place," Kara said, leaning into Barry as they looked at the sunset over the lake through the window. Clark and Lois were turned around in their seat to see the color shining off the lake as the sun started to disappear behind the mountains.
"Remember our wedding night," Barry said, sharing the memories of the night: the two of them floating above the lake, swearing they were strong enough to get through anything if they worked together. Let's do that again tonight. It's been a long time since I floated in your arms.
"Lois, Clark, can you take care of bedtime tonight?" Kara asked immediately at that, wanting to bring Barry up again.
"Sure," Clark said with a smile as their waitress came out with their meals.
Lois held up her glass when the waitress was gone. "To old times," Lois said with a smile.
"And to today," Clark added as he lifted his glass.
"And all the times yet to come," Barry and Kara said together, holding up their glasses as well, chinking them together. Ella and Jason eating their food and Kara and Barry turned around after taking a sip of their drink to feed Alura and Nora before going to their own food.
When they got back to the house, Clark and Lois took the girls right away. "I got this," Lois said, giving Nora a kiss. She loved being with her nieces. "You two go."
Kara and Barry smiled as they ran out the back and Kara took Barry in her arms. Flying up high into the night sky so as not to be seen, the two floated over the lake; the rising moon shining on the lake made an impressive view as they smiled.
"It feels so long ago when it was our wedding night," Kara said, looking down, remembering as Firestorm, Atom, Clark, and a couple of other flew past them in a race. "But also… just like yesterday." She felt a moment of sorrow as she thought of Martin again, so early into his Firestorm days and now…
Through all that we still have each other, Barry thought, a little forcefully as he knew what she was thinking. And so much more. Thoughts of their girls in their head as they floated above the lake. We should go get some sleep, the masses are coming tomorrow.
-Karry Universe-
The first people who showed up the next day were Lena, Amelia, Connor, and Team Canary.
"Where's dad?" Kara asked, hugging Connor.
"He went on the STAR Co. plane with Eliza," Connor told Kara. "I decided to come here with… Lena." Connor gave Lena a look. The two hadn't decided if Connor was calling her mom yet or not. It was a bit weird. Neither of the two had really defined their relationship. Lena loved having him around and buying him stuff, and Connor liked being with her, but they were just not sure if Connor should call Lena mom yet.
"Dad!" A voice yelled out, and Morgan jumped out of the car and ran at Clark.
"Oh, and we brought Morgan as well," Lena said. "So, what's going on with your father and foster mom?" The question was directed at Kara, who raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing," Kara said, and Connor laughed. Barry was saying hello to Laurel, Oliver, Paula, William, and Jack, but looked over at Kara with a shrug. "Dad and Eliza? No… I don't… well he does spend a lot of time at Meta home."
"A lot of time," they heard a voice say, and Karen landed with Junior next to her. M'Gann and J'onn were behind her. Then Astra landed with Ha next to her. Astra didn't have the red sunlight bracelet on, which made Kara smile. It seemed J'onn was leaving it off more often now. "We flew here."
"I see," Kara said, welcoming her little sister/cousin/clone. "Ha, glad you could join."
"Well Astra asked me," Ha said with a smile. "And John, Hal, and Jade send their regards, but they are unable to join. Business." Kara nodded as she greeted them.
"Well everyone, food is in the back. Barry's already getting the grill ready," Kara said, and Barry ran back in at those words. He had spent the morning after breakfast getting the meat ready to cook. Joe and Henry were going to help him when they got here.
Not long later Eliza and Zor showed up with Ray and Lucy. Lucy holding baby Brandon in her arms.
"Eliza, so glad you came," Kara said, hugging her foster mother and smiling at Lucy with baby Brandon. The Palmers going into the house after they said their hellos to find Lois, more than likely.
"One of my employees is staying at the meta home to give me the weekend off," Eliza said. "But I did bring two extras." Out of the car came two very familiar girls: Romana and Starfire came running up, both hugging Kara. "I figured they were part of the super family. More than the others."
"It's good to have you here," Kara said to the two giving them a hug. "My niece and nephew, Jason and Ella are playing in the backyard. Go join." The two yelled, out running to the back.
"Where are the girls?" Caitlin and Ronnie asked, coming out of another car with Garfield and Cisco; Lisa, Snart, and Mick also coming out.
"With Lois," Kara said smiling at Garfield. "You didn't bring the twins?" She asked Ronnie, having expected Cody and Michelle to show up as well.
"Cody wanted to come but Michelle…" Ronnie made a face as he said her name; while Michelle had agreed to become part of Firestorm to keep Ronnie alive, she had been difficult since with training and going out as a superhero. "Besides, they aren't really part of the super family yet, and I can survive two days without them."
…
Through the day more people started to show. The large house got smaller by the hour, being very crowded by this point. Garfield had transformed into a large fish to swim into the pool, causing his mother and the twins to laugh. Romana, Jason, Ella, Starfire, and Robin were playing by the lake with Dick keeping a watchful eye on them. Mick and Snart had taken the boat, seeming to celebrate as they got it started.
Do they think they stole that? Barry asked in his head. He, Joe, and Henry were all by the grill, making a ton of food.
I think so, Kara thought. She was with Lois, Lucy, and had the girls watching the lake. Should we tell them it's ours to use?
No, let them have their fun, Barry thought. At least they did not go into the boathouse and find the jet skis. Kara laughed as she went back to her conversation with her friends.
"Alex, what do you want to eat?" Sara asked her wife who had a chip bowl by her. "I think hotdogs are ready. Chicken?"
"I don't know," Alex said putting her hand on her stomach. She had started gaining weight.
"Alex you're pregnant. You're going to start to show," Sara said, sitting beside her wife and kissing her head.
"Should I be getting this big, this fast?" Alex asked as Laurel came over to grab the chips.
"Well, look at the bright side. You're not the only one gaining weight. Laurel has gained a pound or two," Sara said, joking with her sister.
"Hey!" Laurel commented, a fist full of chips in her hand.
"It's true sister. I mean can you even fit in your Black Canary costume anymore?" Sara said with a laugh.
"She's right," Paula said with a smirk and Laurel stuck out her tongue at them as Alex laughed.
"Okay, I think I will take that hotdog," Alex said, and Sara got up to go to the men grilling meats to get food for Alex.
Once a lot of the food was grilled, Barry stepped aside, and Kara moved up to him.
The girls were in a playpen with Garfield, Lucy and Lois were nearby with baby Brandon in their arms. This was the first super family event with Brandon, so he had been passed around a bit. The girls were already fed, but they had a piece of bread in their hands the three babies were picking at. "We just wanted to say something," Barry said holding up a glass. "We want to thank everyone for being here to celebrate our anniversary together."
"In the years since we got married," Kara continued, as if this was a speech they had prepared – they hadn't, but the bond helped them share all their thoughts without second guessing. "We have been through a lot; like seriously a lot since the last gathering by this lake. And there are some people who were there and not here today now… either through death," thoughts went to Felicity and Martin, "or because of medical reason." Laurel put an arm around Oliver as Thea was brought up. Still in her coma back in Starling. "Or life brought them down a new road." Joe turned around from the grill, smiling as Iris and Eddie were mentioned. "And there's one person who was not there but became family afterward who didn't get here today." Wally put an arm around Jesse as Jax was mentioned. "To them they are still our family and even though they cannot be here in person, they are here in spirit and our hearts."
"And then there are the ones who were at our wedding who are still with us today. We have had a long journey together," Barry said. "And I hope in years to come we are all by this lake together. And to the people who are in our Super Family who just could not make it here today we hope they are here next year."
"And then to the ones who were not at our weddings either because we had not met you yet," Kara smiled at Lena, Donna, Diana, and many more who had come into their lives after their wedding. "Or you had not been born yet." At that a cry came out from the babies, making people giggle and Kara also looked over at Connor and Morgan. "Or you had just not come back yet." A smile was given to Zor and Ha. "We welcome you into our Superfamily. You being here, it completes us, and we hope you're here for many more years to come."
"And to you two," Clark spoke up. Morgan was by his dad's side, always happy to be with Clark. "We came here once to celebrate your love, and I would gladly come here every year. Your love has brought us together. Made this super family. Made the Justice League. I'd follow you to the end of the world."
"You keep us strong," Diana agreed. "So, to many more years of the two of you." Everyone agreed as they all took a sip of their drink.
"Hey man," Cisco said coming up with the music box Barry had given Kara on Christmas. "I got it programed."
"Thanks," Barry said, taking it and winding it up. Putting it down, the hologram started and music played, but no words, instead Barry started to sing. "I can't remember when you weren't there," Barry sang as the holographic picture started showing them in college. "When I didn't care for anyone but you. I swear we've been through everything there is. Can't imagine anything we've missed. Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do."
Kara smiled as everyone was silent. Barry not noticing Cisco was filming. "Through the years. You've never let me down. You turned my life around. The sweetest days I've found I found with you. Through the years I've never been afraid. I've loved the life we've made. And I'm so glad I've stayed. Right here with you. Through the years." Pictures of the super family started to show as the twins clapped.
"I can't remember what I used to do. Who I trusted whom, I listened to before. I swear you've taught me everything I know. Can't imagine needing someone so. But through the years it seems to me I need you more and more." Kara smiled deciding not to let Barry be the only one singing so joined in.
"Through the years. Through all the good and bad. I knew how much we had. I've always been so glad to be with you. Through the years. It's better every day. You've kissed my tears away. As long as it's okay. I'll stay with you. Through the years." Everyone smiled sadly as the video showed news articles of their time as Supergirl and the Flash. "Through the years when everything went wrong." At that, newspaper articles of Jax death and Martin showed. "Together we were strong. I know that I belong right here with you. Through the years I never had a doubt. We'd always work things out. I've learned what love's about. By loving you. Through the years."
Barry put his arm around Kara as they went to the last verse "Through the years you've never let me down. You've turned my life around. The sweetest days I've found I've found with you. Through the years it's better every day. You've kissed my tears away. As long as it's okay. I'll stay with you. Through the years." Barry and Kara kissed as the video started. It was of them giving their wedding vows and Kara smiled.
"I got it," Cisco said with a smile waving his phone. "New Karry Karaoke video."
"Oh come on," Barry said seeming annoyed. "You're doing it now?"
"Well someone has to now that Iris is gone," Cisco said, causing many to laugh. "I should make cameras that hover on their own. Make it easier to video. Could work well for STAR Gaming and normal STAR as well." Cisco seemed to have an idea in his head as there was a glint in his eyes.
"Might be a good idea," Lena said causing eyes to look at her. "What? I'm still their competition." People giggled at that. "And you know that holographic music box would be a great seller. Why doesn't STAR Co. sell them?" Barry and Kara gave each other a look, not sure why they hadn't marketed the boxes. "I won't steal the idea." Lena gave a nod as Amelia gave her boss a smirk.
"Don't worry. L-Corp's got some stuff they don't," Amelia said, winking and Lena smirked.
"New rule," Joe said flipping a burger on the grill before turning around. "No STAR Co. or L-Corp talk at super family gatherings."
"I agree," Eliza and Zor said together. The two standing near each other both with a plate in their hands as people spoke out, liking the rule.
"Agreed," the owners of the respected companies said together.
"Now let's get those ribs on," Henry said, smiling at Cat who had been sitting near him. Joe gave a smile as Henry came to help him with the ribs.
"Another song," Caitlin yelled out as food cooked and a chant of 'Karry' started around the backyard.
"Kawy," a small voice shut everyone up and everyone turned to the playpen. Nora, Alura, and Garfield were standing on the edge. "Kawy!" Nora yelled out, followed by her sister. Then Garfield joined the two.
"You two have no choice now," Caitlin said with a laugh at the kids.
"You're teaching them bad habits," Kara said with a laugh, going to go pick up Alura as Barry took Nora. The two smiled as they then started to sing again for the group and the girls.
The gathered crowds enjoyed their time and stories of the past. Lucy and Cat officially told everyone the story of the day Barry proposed – the competition between Winn, James, and Adam. Winn had gotten red and seemed to want to hide behind Amelia who was laughing at that one. Clark and Lois told about finding Barry and Kara making out in their apartment all those years ago. Even Snart told the story about back when he was a villain and discovered their identities, much to the annoyance of some.
It was after the sun went down and desert was being served and the stories stopped that Kara finally got a moment alone with Barry. "So, what's wrong?" Kara asked, knowing Barry was getting nervous. He was hiding something from her. She knew that.
Do you like this place? Barry asked in his head.
Yeah, it's nice, Kara thought to Barry, smiling at the darkened lake. Dick and Oliver were playing with Jason, Ella, Robin, Romana, and Starfire. Starfire was flying over their heads. Clark flew up in the air to join Starfire, giving the girl a smile as Karen also joined. Connor, Morgan, and Carter all ran onto the sand to play with the others. A ball got thrown to them from Jack, who was smiling. Kara loved watching the scene. Her family playing and having fun.
Good, because I lied, Barry said, making Kara raise an eyebrow, shocked as she looked at her husband. This place wasn't for rent. It was for sale.
Are you saying we own this house? Kara asked, and Barry nodded.
And the boats, jet skis, and all the water equipment as well, Barry thought back, wondering what Kara would say or do. Kara didn't say anything though. Her emotions were blank and Barry, for once, didn't know what she was going to say.
"You two," Caitlin said, interrupting them. "I'm going to put the girls and Garfield to bed. Lucy already brought Brandon up."
"Hold on a second Caity," Kara said. "Everyone!" Kara yelled out, and when that didn't do it Krypto barked loudly, followed by Musty and Junior. Hex appeared out of nowhere to give a loud meow to join the dogs. Everyone soon quieted down. "Now that I have your attention. Does everyone like this place?" There was a call out of 'yes' from multiple people. "Well, we own it." Kara yelled out, a smile on her face.
"I'm redecorating," Lois called out, causing Kara to laugh and Barry could feel her happy and amused emotions. She was not angry.
"You're not mad," Barry said, very relieved.
"A little upset you lied," Kara told him. "But owning a piece of property on the lake where I married the love of my life. I can't be mad about that. We can bring our girls here every summer. Teach them to swim here. I love it." Kara kissed Barry, who kissed back, a smile on his face.
They had a summer home, a place to love. It was perfect.
