Kara held her breath as he turned toward her, her eyes first connecting with his--the sight of his unushered tears making his the vice in her own chest tighten, before her gaze fell to the wrist of his outstretched hand. The platinum band that was emblazed with arrows, kryptonian script and the symbol that was emblazoned on her own chest made her own shoulders lower a fraction. That answered one question--this was her husband and not a doppelganger or an evil twin. It was the same husband that she had said goodbye too only a few hours ago.
Her mask slipped briefly and confusion, relief, old broken grief, anger, and surprise all swirled on her face for a micro-second before she hid it all behind her signature smile as she stepped up beside Oliver (though only he, and perhaps Thea would see the hesitance in her steps), taking his hand with her free one and squeezing his tightly. They would talk later.
Her brows raised as he introduced the people around him, and she subtly shifted so she was leaning into his side. His mother? But wasn't she....Kara glanced at Oliver in surprise before she smiled at the older woman. "Oh! Hello, I've heard a lot about you, Mrs. Queen."
Her nervousness turned to genuine happiness when Oliver introduced the other man, and her 'Girl of Steel' mask broke as she smiled brightly at him. "Oh, of course! Sara told me about you--" There had even been a memorial picture of the other at their wedding. "I'm so happy to finally meet you."
Rory shifted in her sleep against Kara's shoulder, which tore her attention away from the people surrounding her. "Right, sorry--" She muttered to the two before releasing Oliver's hand briefly to reach up to tap the center of the House of El symbol on her chest, and immediately Kara's suit retracted, revealing a normal outfit consisting of jeans, a sweater, boots and her own matching wedding bracelet--but mostly importantly it revealed the drowsy figure of their eighteen month old, Aurora Queen. "Shh, little one.." Kara muttered low in Kryptonian, "Look whose here, love." She jostled the toddler gently as Rory blinked her eyes open--taking in those surrounding her with a telltale crinkle before she recognized Oliver over Kara's shoulder.
Immediately the sleepy expression brightened and she started reaching toward her father. "Da, da, da!"
