The Legends all took their places, hiding around various pieces of equipment on the bridge. Some hid in Sara’s office, some behind the control panel.

A flash of light opened on the bridge and Ray stepped out of a portal from his home to the Waverider.

“All the lights are off... even an emergency light should be on, someone could trip and hurt themselves in the pitch bla...”

“Surprise!” The lights came on at once and Ray was showered in confetti as everyone crowded him.

Ray was stunned. “Wow guys! What’s all this?”

“Welcome back buddy!” Nate hugged his best friend.

“Aww guys I’m just back for the mission, you didn’t have to do all of this.”

“We so did! We’re happy to have you back even for a little bit.”

“Yeah... Nora’s due any day now... I can’t miss the birth of my daughter.”

“And we promised her that we’d have you back long before she went into labor.” Sara clapped his back and hugged him. “Good to have you back buddy.”

“Good to be back. I was starting to feel useless after taking an extra six hours to put together Tori’s crib.” Ray rubbed the back of his neck and smiled at the sign ‘WELCOME BACK RAY’ it had hearts and looked like something Mona would make, the werewolf hugged him enthusiastically and asked how Nora was, but he could tell, the handwriting was a mix of Nate and Behrad’s.

The festivities started, down to cake and party hats and drinks. Ray was honestly amazed they wanted to do this all for him.

“You guys really didn’t have to do all of this,” he said as he sipped on his punch.

Mona was bursting to confess. “Okay so actually, the original idea for a proper welcoming back was actually Nora’s. Nate and Behrad took it from there, decorating and what not but Nora wanted you to feel just as at home with your first found family.”

Ray could cry. His wife was something else. He loved her so deeply. He picked up the sign and stood between Behrad and Nate. “Mona will you take a picture of us and send it to Nora?”

“OF COURSE!!!” Mona snapped a pic and sent it Nora’s way.

Mona: Your boy loves the party!

Nora: Good. I’m glad. I hope he has fun.

Mona: We’ve also placed bets on how long he’ll stay before stopping back home to see you.

Nora: Mona you guys have a mission.

Mona: Yeah and Ava definitely made a mistake giving him a time courier because he might try and stop back by mid-mission. Depending on how much he misses you. I can see it in his eyes.

Nora: I love that man. I miss him too. But don’t tell him, he’ll just immediately come home.

Mona: Secret’s safe with me! Gotta go!

Nora: Mona?

Mona: Yeah Nora?

Nora: Keep him safe too, okay? Bring him back to me.
