BRUCE stared at Jess with a mouth slightly agape.

"You love me too?" He wanted to smile as if he won the lottery, but there was a dark question looming in the back of his head. "I... You and Diana." He mumbled.

"I know..." She mumbled. "But I've made up my mind." Bruce stared at Jess with his jaw clenched. She placed both hands on his face this time, smiling as she did so. "I've loved you since you first stepped onto my balcony, Bruce." She ran her thumb over his stubbled cheek. "Even when I was wandering mindlessly after Clark's death, all I thought about was you."

Bruce softened his gaze at her before moving in to place a kiss on her lips. They stayed there for a few seconds before pulling away. "God, I missed you." He sighed.

Jess smiled, kissing his lips one last time before pulling away. "Bruce... are we sure we're ready to do this?" She asked. "Bring Clark back?"

Bruce gave a smug smirk. "Do you trust me?" Jess nodded her head. "Then believe me when I say, everything is going to be okay."

BARRY and Arthur were currently debating on a hat choice to match the speedster's military uniform.

"Option "A"?" Barry asked, putting on the army matching hat.

Arthur scrunched up his nose at the way it made Barry look. "Definitely not "A."

Barry snatched the cap off his head. "Okay, or... "B"?" He pulled the barrette onto his head. Arthur stared at the cap before scratching his beard.

"Let me see "A" again?"

Bruce and Jess landed on the pavement. "You okay?" He asked, pushing hair out of her face.

"Yup, just... a little sick." She mumbled.

"I'm surprised you haven't thrown up yet." Barry said. Jess spun around, throwing up whatever was in her stomach as Bruce held back her hair.

"Spoke too soon." Arthur sighed with a shake of his head.

Jess spit, whipping her mouth as Barry dug around inside the truck to see if there was gum. "It was going to happen." She coughed. Barry gave a triumph laugh while getting out of the car.

"I found some gum." He smiled, handing it to Barry as she thanked him.

"Did you get him?" Bruce asked, walking over to Diana as Jess followed to see her brother.

"Safe and sound."

Bruce, Diana, and Jess stepped into the military cargo truck as Jess ran her hand over the oak casket. "You took care of him, right?" She asked, looking at Diana.

"Of course." She nodded.

Jess looked at Bruce with a nervous look. He grabbed her hand with a nod of her head. Diana stood up, noticing the way they were now. She knew something happened when they were both at the warehouse. The three of them hopped out of the back.
