655. Chapter 655

Kara asked if Maggie and Alex wanted to make a double wedding a triple wedding.

She asked, and Cisco was so enthusiastically supportive of the idea that he nearly blew their comms out.

But Alex stammered and Maggie froze, and Kara smiled, correctly interpreting their hesitation as the desire for something smaller, something more intimate.

Well, as small and intimate as Eliza Danvers would allow it to be, anyway.

So by the time the Superfriends are heading through the Cisco-generated portal to Iris and Felicity’s double wedding, Alex and Maggie already have matching wedding bands to go along with their engagement rings.

“We meet at last, I feel like I already know you!” Cisco beams, pulling a baffled but pleased Alex in for a hug and Maggie right along after her.

“Kara says you turn her hardcore badass sister to mush, I like you already,” he grins, and Maggie holds Alex’s hand tighter, because god, is this what it feels like to have an extended family that loves you unconditionally, just for being… you?

Because it feels overwhelming, and it feels amazing.

They wade through it together – Iris’s warm hugs and Felicity’s flirtatious rambling and Barry’s awkward enthusiasm and Caitlin’s eager science talk – and frankly, both of them are somewhat relieved by Dig’s warmth mixed with reserve and thoughtful quiet, and Oliver’s just… reserve and thoughtful quiet.

Maggie leaves Alex’s side only once through meeting everyone – to grab them both more drinks – because Alex seems fine with Oliver, taking a break from the intense and intensely welcoming socializing to just watch and drink and brood, but happily so.

It’s while Maggie’s getting their drinks that Sara Lance arrives, because somehow having a time machine doesn’t make the Legends any more prone to being… well, on time.

Kara announces their arrival with a squeal, and Oliver raises his eyebrows as they both turn to watch her sister wrap Sara and Amaya and Jax in an enormous, rib-crushing hug.

“My little sister’s a hugger, too,” Oliver grins to himself, nodding over at Thea, and Alex grins.

“Someone’s gotta be, huh?”

They clink their nearly empty bottles together amiably, both holding in a chuckle – and Alex, an already rising blush – as Kara practically drags Sara over to them.

“And Sara, this is my sister, Alex – Alex, Sara’s captain of the Waverider, she says she can give you a tour if you want.”

Sara arches her eyebrow and gives Alex a twisted grin accompanied by a slow once-over as they come to a halt in front of her and Oliver.

“I can offer more than a tour if you’re willing, Danvers the Elder,” she extends her hand, and she keeps Alex’s eyes while they shake.

Alex gulps. Sara’s smirk deepens.

“Kara’s told me a lot about you, but she uh… she never mentioned you were gorgeous.”

Alex gulps again as Kara’s eyes bug out of her head and Oliver clears his throat.

“Uh, Sara,” he tries softly while Alex tries to remember what words are and how, maybe, to make her face just a little less mortifyingly red.

“Oh, hush, Ollie, you can’t be jealous, you’re about to marry Felicity Smoak,” Sara teases as she pulls him down for a giant bear hug.

“No, it’s not that, Sara, I – “

“You’re very sweet,” Alex saves Oliver the stammering, and Sara’s eyes glisten as she hears her voice for the first time. “But I…” She smiles like she’s the happiest woman in the world, and the badass Kara has told Sara so much about practically squirms in shy pride. “I have a wife,” she holds up her left hand like she’s not quite used to the word, not quite used to the reality that’s making her look like she’s floating.

Sara drops her jaw and tilts her head at Kara. “Didn’t mention that part, kid,” she murmurs with a growing smile on her face.

“Well yeah, because I was too busy telling you all the other cool things about her!” Kara quips back, pretending to be scandalized as she adjusts her glasses. Oliver snorts into his beer and Alex blush only increases as Maggie returns with drinks for them all.

“Saw your sister came by so I figured I’d get for everyone,” she says as she passes them out. “Maggie Sa – Danvers. Maggie Danvers,” she blushes her own blush as she offers Sara both a drink and a handshake.

Dig passes by and claps Oliver on the back as he chokes on his drink, and Sara grins broadly.

“Sara Lance. I’ve heard incredible things about your wife from her sister, and I’m sure there’s a lot of incredible things to hear about you, too. I can give you both a tour of the Waverider, if you’d like,” she offers, and Kara groans as Oliver continues to choke and Alex continues to blush.

Maggie glances back and forth between her wife and Sara for a moment before accurately detecting, and promptly grinning her own sideways grin.

She slips her free hand into Alex’s and their fingers lace.

Kara flies away before she can hear their answer – something about needing to challenge Barry to a race far, far away from here – and Oliver just grins as his friends stroll off together, talking and laughing and, on Alex’s part, blushing a whole lot.

“Some family we’ve put together here, huh Oliver?” John grins, his hand still on Oliver’s shoulder.

“Who would’ve thought?”
