~ Wonderland Nightclub ~

"Thank you, handsome," Ivy said. She had just received a big tip and with a smile, she stuffed the money in her bra and cleaned the bar counter. Ivy looked around the crowd of people dancing and saw Harley walking along with one of those gangster bosses to a sofa in the back of the club. Ivy knew what she was up to and smiled.

"Harley and her games." She said to herself and reached down the counter to pour herself a drink.

"Drinking on the job again?" Clark asked.

"You know me. I love to party." Ivy answered.

"Just make sure you don't go overboard and drink too much." Clark reminded her.

Ivy has been suffering from depression because her boyfriend Ronnie went to jail about a year ago. She's been drinking heavily and partying more trying to ease the pain. Harley, her best friend has tried to help her out but Ivy would tell her to fuck off. Now, they just leave Ivy alone and let her do her job.

"Yeah, I know, Clark. I'm not a fucking child. Don't trust me to do my job?" Ivy said angrily.

"I'm sorry, Red. I didn't mean to upset you. I do trust you and so do Diana and Bruce. We are just worried about you. We don't want a repeat of what happened with you a couple of weeks ago to happen again."

Pamela nods and sighs.

"It's okay. I shouldn't have lashed out at you, Clark. I just miss Ronnie a lot. He would still be here by my side as a free man instead he's in jail rotting because of my stupid mistake." Ivy said sadly.

Clark hugs her.

"It wasn't your fault, Red. If the roles were reversed you would have done the same for him and taken the fall. No one blames you for what happened." Clark said.

Pamela nods.

"I just don't know if I can survive another two years without him."

Diana walks towards them smiling excitedly. Bruce and Harley have been planning on getting Ronnie out of prison. They kept it a secret from everyone except for Clark and Diana because if they told the rest they would have spoiled the surprise to Pamela.

Ronnie was hiding behind Diana holding a bouquet of roses. He has changed quite a lot in the last year. Ronnie had tattoos covering his body, a beard, and his hair was longer.

"We have a special surprise for you, Red," Diana said.

"What is it?" Pamela asks confused.

"My birthday was months ago..." She said and her green eyes widen with shock.

"Ronnie?" She said covering her mouth.

"The one and only." He said and smiles.

Pamela jumped into his strong arms and kissed him passionately. Ronnie drops the roses and holds her.

"I can't believe you're here. I've missed you so much." Ivy said.

"I've missed you too, My flower. I'm never letting you go again."

"Promise?"

"I promise. You have my word."

Ronnie then picks up the roses and gives them to Pamela.

"For my love." He said.

"Roses... My favorite," Ivy said and smelled them.

"I love them. Thank you, Darling."

"Anything for you, My Flower." He said and kissed her again.

Diana and Clark smiled softly at the couple. Pamela looks at them.

"How did you bring him back to me?" She asks.

"Bruce and Harley pulled a few strings and he got Ronnie out of prison earlier than what he was supposed to serve," Diana answered.

"So, instead of being in jail for three years he got out in one," Clark adds.

"Thank you so much," Pamela said and hugs them tightly.

Clark and Diana laugh a bit.

"You should be thanking Harley and Bruce instead," Diana said.

"I will. But I just want to thank you for being my friends. I love you guys." Ivy said happily.

"We love you too." They said.

Ronnie smiled. "So, where's the boss?" He asks.

"He's probably somewhere around here fooling around with Harley." Diana answers.

"Oh, then I'll wait till they finish. I have to talk to him about something important." Ronnie said.

"I saw Harley earlier leading a mob boss to the private era of the club," Pamela said.

"You know what that means..." Diana said.

They then hear a gun being shot. A few people scream and leave but that's because they were new. Most of the people that visited Wonderland Nightclub were regulars and knew that Harley was off-limits whenever she went to go strip. They could only look and not touch. If that person broke the rule Bruce would shoot him right between the eyes.

"And that's another mob boss dead," Pamela said.

"Some people don't learn," Clark said laughing.

"I'll have to dispose of the body later. Can you give me a hand?" Pamela asks Diana. She nods and smiles.

"I wonder how much money he keeps in his wallet?" Diana asks.

"A lot. The guy is fuckin loaded with cash cuz of all the drugs he sells." Pamela answers.

"Now it's all ours." Diana smiles and they hi-five each other.

"Looks like things are still the same," Ronnie comments laughing.

Clark smiles. "For the most part yes. But we got two recruits. Their names are Wally West and Jessie Quick." Clark said.

"I heard about the kid. He's Iris West's little brother. But who's the new chick?" Ronnie asks.

"She just recently moved into the city. We saw her in action and she's really good. So, we brought her into our group." Diana answers.

"Don't you think that seems a bit suspicious?" Ronnie asked.

"Don't worry, babe. We checked her out and she's harmless," Ivy reassured him.

"Where are the rookies at now?" Ronnie asked.

"At the shop probably. Please, don't cause any trouble," Ivy said.

"I won't. I'm just gonna introduce myself to them." Ronnie said and kisses his girlfriend goodbye.

~ Auto Repair Shop ~

"How much longer is this gonna take?" Lena asked impatiently.

"Just a few more minutes. Now stop moving," Laurel said trying to concentrate.

"You'll look so hot, babe." Kara comments.

Laurel finishes tattooing Lena's shoulder.

"And I'm done." She said. Lena gets up out of the chair and looks in the mirror.

"Wow, it looks amazing," Lena said.

Kara is standing behind her girlfriend and admiring the artwork on her shoulder. She hugs Lena from behind and kisses her shoulder.

"It really is. Now, we match." Kara said smiling and shows her tattoo.

Lena giggles. "It was either that or tattooing your name on my ass."

"Good thing you chose this," Kara said pointing to her shoulder.

"It would have been fun though to have 'Property of Kara Danvers' written on my ass," Lena said.

Kara laughs. "You don't need that tattooed on your cute little behind for you to remember who it belongs to." She said and Lena blushes. Kara kisses her cheek and pulls out her wallet.

"How much will it be, Laurel?" She asks.

"Don't worry about it. It's on the house." Laurel said and smiles.

Kara nods. "Thanks."

"No problem. Anyway, where are Wally and Jessie?" Laurel asked putting away her ink and tools.

"Somewhere here in the workshop. They're probably making out right now." Kara laughed.

"They think that we don't know about them being together. But we do. They aren't great at hiding their relationship." Lena said.

"Hey, girls!" Ronnie said entering the repair shop.

"Omg! Ronnie!" Kara and Lena said happily. They go to hug him tightly.

"You look so different. Is it really you?" Lena asks.

"Yeah, it's me." He smiled.

"We've missed you so much." They said.

"I've missed you too," Ronnie said.

"How are you out of prison? I thought you still had two years left to serve." Kara asks.

"Let's just say I got out early because of 'Good behavior'," Ronnie said laughing. The girls laugh and Laurel shakes her head smiling.

Ronnie looks at Laurel and smiles softly.

"Congratulations, Laurel. How far along are you?" Ronnie asks.

"I'm in my third trimester. So, this baby will be popping out soon." Laurel said rubbing her baby bump.

Before Ronnie went to jail Laurel and Oliver were planning on having a baby and now a year later and she's about to give birth. Man a lot can change in a year. He thought to himself.

"Is my workspace the same as I left it?" He asks.

"Yeah, it still looks like shit," Lena teased.

"You're still busting my balls over not cleaning it much," Ronnie said and Lena nods.

"I'm keeping you in check, buddy. If you don't clean up then the rest won't." Lena said and pokes his chest.

"Fair enough," Ronnie said.

"So, were you working on any projects before you got sent to the slammer?" Kara asks.

"I indeed was."

"Like what?" Kara asks.

"Stuff to make the cars go faster. All-new engines and I ordered some Nitrous." Ronnie said.

"Oh, okay. Well, Wally came up with a few ideas of his own. Maybe you, Wally, and Cisco can start to work on them." Kara suggests.

"Yeah, maybe," Ronnie said and walks to his workspace away from the girls.

"Ahh, home sweet home," Ronnie said to himself and takes a lollipop from Cisco's desk. He sucks on the cherry lollipop and sits in his chair and leans back.

He looked around the room and saw some of Cisco's stuff like tools on the floor then there was another desk that belonged to the new kid, Wally. The auto shop has been here since the original team formed it and it felt like home to him. Ever since the death of Tommy and Talia things haven't been the same between Bruce and Oliver. The original group split and now it's like this. They still hang out all of them once and a while but it's not the same. They were like family and now they kinda feel like strangers at least when Bruce and Oliver are around them that's how they act.

Ronnie's thoughts were interrupted by Wally. He got up out of his chair and throws the lollipop in the trash.

"You must be, Ronnie," Wally said and offered his hand.

He didn't shake his hand and nods.

"Yeah, and you must be, Wally," Ronnie said.

He puts his hands back in his pockets and nods.

"I am. Cisco has told me a lot about you."

"Oh, really? I'm glad I'm not forgotten. Yet." Ronnie joked.

Wally didn't laugh.

"So, you work on cars?" Ronnie asks.

"Sometimes. But I like to race more instead." Wally answered.

"That's good. So do I sometimes." Ronnie said.

He then decides to not waste any time.

"Where's your other friend, Jessie?" Ronnie asks him.

"Oh, she's busy right now. Bruce asked her to do a job."

"That's nice."

A long tense silence passed.

"I'm gonna be straight with you, Kid. I don't trust you. I also don't trust your little girlfriend, Jessie." Ronnie said getting in his face.

"Well, you should trust me because while you were in jail I was here helping your team making them stronger. I've earned their respect and trust." Wally said not backing down.

"We'll see. Everyone has something to hide and sooner or later I'll find out what it is. And Just so you know if you ever hurt my family I'm gonna come after you." Ronnie threatened.

They stared at each other for a few tense seconds. Ronnie smirks. "See you around, Kid." He said and walks away bumping his shoulder into Wally.
