Chapter Two
Yeah, I couldn't resist. This was way too good of a chapter to just pass by and wait until tomorrow to do. This was hilarious to write.
Enjoy chapter two, guys!

"OK," Iris paced the cortex, checking off the RSVP list. "That's the Legends, and Oliver, Thea, and Felicity. We're just waiting on . . . possibly six more."
"Six?" Barry's eyebrows shot up. "Who did we invite besides Kara and Mon-El?"
"You invited Kara and Mon-El," Iris corrected. "I remember you talking about James and Winn, so I invited them, too."
"Oh," Barry nodded. "Yeah, it'd be good to see them again."
"And if they bring a plus one, that's a potential six people coming," Iris nodded. "So, we just need to know – "
A familiar hissing filled the room, and they turned to see a large breach form. Kara was the first out, followed by an auburn-haired woman and a woman with black hair pulled into a ponytail. Out behind them came the familiar figures of James and Winn. "There's the bride and groom!" Kara cheered.
"Hey, girl!" Iris grinned, moving to hug her. "Thank you so much!"
"Oh, like I would miss this!" Kara giggled, hugging Barry. "Congratulations, Barry."
"Thanks, Kara," Barry smiled, then held out his hand. "Winn, James."
"Hey, man," Winn grinned, clasping his hand, the two of them hugging each other. "Good to see you again."
"Congratulations," James smiled.
"Thanks," Barry smiled, turning to the two women. "And?"
"Alex Danvers," the auburn-haired woman held out her hand. "Kara's older sister."
"Oh, she talked about you all the time," Barry smiled, shaking her hand. "And last but not least?"
"Lena Luthor," the black-haired woman answered, shaking his hand, too. "Most recent member of the team, but one of Kara's best friends."
"Well, welcome to Central City," Barry smiled. "Uh, James, Winn, this is my fiancée, Iris West."
"Nice to meet you," James smiled, Winn sinking his teeth into his lip to avoid bursting into hysterics.
"Yeah, you, too," Iris looked like she was doing the same thing.
Barry looked around, frowning when he saw someone missing, but then saw Winn hastily shake his head and cut his hand across his throat. Barry cleared his throat, getting the hint, then looked at the hanger bags over Lena's arm. "Well, looks like you guys came prepared."
"Well," Lena shrugged, looking at the bags. "I'm the owner of two companies in National City now, so why not be the one to pay for what we're wearing?"
"I told her she didn't need to," Kara rolled her eyes.
"And I told you I wanted to," Lena gave her a look.
"Well, uh," Barry scratched the back of his head. "Oliver, Cisco, Wally, and I are going out for tuxes, so . . . " He raised an eyebrow.
"Not like we have any plans," James shrugged.
"Yeah, we can tag along," Winn nodded.
"Which means you three are with me," Iris beamed at the girls.
"Absolutely," Kara grinned, and Iris linked arms with her bridesmaid.
Barry, James, and Winn waved as they left. As soon as they were out of earshot, all four burst into snickers. "Oh, I wanted to do that the entire time," Lena confessed, grinning widely.
"Poor Barry and Caitlin are going to be the odd ones out on these trips," Iris snickered.
"Oops," Kara giggled unapologetically.

"Iris," Felicity walked up to the bride in a pedicure chair, Caitlin next to her. "You are literally glowing."
"Aw," Iris smiled bashfully, taking the champagne glass Felicity offered.
"Wait, it's pregnant women who glow," Caitlin held up a finger. "Brides blush."
"Wanna tell us something, Iris?" Thea teased from where she sat, Felicity walking back to join her.
"Uh, no," Iris shook her head immediately, Kara giggling from where she was at her table with Alex and Lena around her. "Blushing bride I can do. The other one . . . not just yet."
"Oh, it doesn't get much better than this, ladies," Felicity was just shy of squealing in excitement as she pushed her sleeves back, holding her hands out.
"I know," Kara sighed, turning around in her chair, knowing Alex and Lena were watching her carefully. "It feels so good to just be away from it all."
"No kidding," Alex nodded.
"Mmm," Lena took a sip of her champagne. "No CEO business anywhere is a treat."
"Everything," Kara summed up, taking a sip of her own.
"Where's Mon-El?" Caitlin suddenly asked.
Kara's eyes bugged open, and she choked violently on her champagne, hastily setting it down as she bent over double, trying to clear her airways. Behind her, Alex put a hand over her mouth, eyes wide, as Lena hid a grin behind her hand. "That ended," Kara sputtered, coughing as she slowly straightened up. "That ended . . . a while ago, actually."
"Oh," Caitlin blinked in surprise, not seeing Thea and Felicity grin at each other.
"Which is why he's not here," Alex nodded.
"It's a long story," Lena held the word out, smirking behind her champagne glass.
Caitlin nodded, seeming to accept that answer, as Iris bit her lip to hide a smirk of her own. Thea's shoulders were shaking as she attempted not to laugh, Felicity's head ducked to hide her wide grin. All three of them knew exactly how long of a story it was. "Well, it's good to meet both of you," Caitlin smiled at Alex and Lena.
"Likewise," Alex smiled.
Electricity crackled, and all eyes flew to Kara's table, where smoke was coming off the stylist's utensil. "Oh, I'm sorry!" Kara gasped, eyes wide. "I should have warned you, I take a lot of . . . keratin."
"Super strong nails!" Alex called out helpfully, making Lena's shoulders shake in laughter.
"So, um . . . " Iris gave Kara a slightly apologetic look before turning to Felicity. "You and Oliver? You guys next, you think, to walk down the aisle?"
This time, Felicity started choking on her champagne. Kara hastily looked down, her cheeks flaming red. Thea was now burying her face in her arm, her shoulders shaking violently now as she laughed. Alex and Lena didn't bother hiding theirs this time. "No," Felicity finally managed to say, shaking her head. "No, no, no, no, no. We put that possibility behind us not long after Lian Yu. Not to mention he's under indictment, and he's spending time with his son, who is still mourning the loss of his mother."
"Aw," Iris frowned.
Thea looked over to see Kara sink her teeth into her lip, her eyes down. "Hey, now," she straightened, holding out her hands. "No more downers, OK? This is a happy day."
"She's right," Caitlin nodded, lifting up her champagne glass. "So, as maid of honor, I get to be the one to say this. Cheers, Iris, to your big day."
"To your big day," Kara and Felicity echoed.
"Cheers," Thea, Alex, and Lena raised their glasses.
"Thanks, girls," Iris smiled as they all drank. "Glad you're here."

"You know, I mean, I've been in love with Iris since I was ten," Barry said as he stood in front of a mirror, Cisco and Wally not that far away with their own tailors, James and Winn sitting behind them. "How am I supposed to fit all that love into one vow? I've already written 38 pages, single spaced."
"38?" Winn did a double take.
"Oh, yeah," Wally nodded.
"You guys have no idea," Cisco chuckled.
James whistled, impressed. "You could always speed read it!" Oliver called from where he was back in the dressing room.
"No," Barry sighed. "No one would understand me." He shook his head helplessly. "I don't know what to do, man. I need help."
Oliver slid the curtain back, walking out to join the group out front. "Barry, when you're up there, and you look into her eyes – "
All five others in the room blinked when they saw him, then James grinned and nudged Winn. The tech of Team Supergirl grinned and pulled out his phone slyly as Wally mocked a wolf whistle. "Damn," Barry agreed.
Cisco stifled a snort, then hastily turned back to his mirror, acting like nothing had happened. Oliver ignored all of them, continuing with what he was saying as if no one had spoken. That didn't mean he didn't catch Winn taking a photo of the four men in the wedding party. " – the words will come. And if they don't, the look on your face will tell her everything that she needs to know." Barry nodded, letting the words sink in, and Oliver smiled. "You clean up nice, my friend."
Barry chuckled. "Thanks. Yeah, you, too."
"Understatement," Winn coughed.
Oliver sent a glare his way, but Winn gave him an innocent smile, making Oliver roll his eyes fondly. "I can't believe you're actually doing this," he told Barry.
"Yeah, man," Barry grinned. "What can I say? I got the girl. And so did you."
Oliver blinked rapidly. Did Barry really figure it out when he wasn't watching? "What?"
Cisco really did snort that time, quickly disguising it as a cough. Wally disguised his laughter at Oliver's expense by laughing at Cisco. Barry frowned in confusion, looking at Oliver as James and Winn exchanged looks as well. "You and Felicity, right?" he asked.
"No," Oliver shook his head violently, Cisco and Wally grinning at James and Winn, Winn's shoulders shaking. "No, we ended that a while ago, Barry."
"Oh," Barry frowned. "I thought the two of you still were – "
"No," Oliver reiterated firmly, then frowned when he heard a muffled snort behind him. "Something funny, James?" he asked without looking over his shoulder, raising an eyebrow.
"Nope," James responded at once. "We know nothing, man."
"Different Earth," Cisco added helpfully. "How would they know?"
Barry muttered to himself in confusion as he turned back around, which gave Oliver the perfect opportunity to glare around at the still laughing Wally and the rest of the gang. Cisco just gave him an innocent-looking grin before turning away as well. Oliver glared nastily towards James and Winn, both of whom just smirked back at him. "Hate you," he mouthed their way.
Winn just grinned widely and gave two thumbs up, making Oliver roll his eyes to the sky, huffing as he went back to the dressing room. Honestly, how was he going to survive the rest of the day with these guys?
Barry blinked, then turned around. "Did I say something?" he asked.
"No, man," Winn shook his head, hiding a grin. "Nothing."
"Nothing at all," Cisco nodded, even as Wally nearly dissolved into more laughter.
"Huh," Barry frowned, turning back around, which was the perfect opportunity for the others to hide silent laughter.
Barry really didn't see what was right in front of him, did he?

Oh, geez, this was literally just two scenes from the episode, and I turned them into so much longer stuff. Hope you enjoyed the girls' interactions! I personally enjoyed way too much the boys having fun messing with Oliver and Barry. Lol, poor Barry. And poor Oliver for having to deal with Cisco, Wally, James, and Winn. XD
