We all gathered in the room where a captured nazi man was being held. I perched atop Sara's shoulders, feeling the tense atmosphere around us.

Felicity's eyes widened in shock. "Oh, my God," she breathed as the masked man began to remove his hood.

Iris, puzzled, looked around. "Oh, my God what? Who is that?"

Sara's face grew serious as she answered, "That's Tommy Merlyn."

Felicity's disbelief was palpable as she whispered, "He died over 4 years ago."

Barry, confused, turned to Oliver. "Oliver, who's Tommy Merlyn?"

Oliver's expression darkened with a mix of sadness and recognition. "Tommy was Thea's other brother... and my best friend."

He paused, taking a deep breath. "We're gonna need a moment alone."

We all nodded and turned to leave Oliver alone with the man.

"He's a crony." Mick said, "Anachronism," the professor corrected him, barely looking up from his notes.

"That's what I said," Mick shot back. The humans looked at Sara confused.

Sara stepped in to clarify, "Lately, we've been dealing with anachronisms—people and things displaced throughout time."

Iris looked bewildered. "Okay, but why would Nazis from 1945 want to crash my wedding?"

Mick, unfazed, munched on some crab legs he somehow had managed to steal from the wedding. "Crab legs. They were delicious."

Meow! Share! I pawed at Mick's legs, hoping for a taste of the tasty treats.

"Well, Iris has a point," Alex said, drawing the group's attention. "If they're out of time, they would've targeted the military or law enforcement..."

Tuning out the rest of the conversation, I looked around the Lab, surely within this huge building, there's a good napping spot.

Whatever these 'Nazi' humans are, I have a feeling I'm going to need my energy. I thought to myself as I curled up in a box, falling into a blissful nap.

Sara smiled and petted me affectionately as she hung up the phone. "Yeah, I'll keep you and the team updated. Love you, Nyss," she said, her voice softening.

Meow I meowed up at her, and she responded with a gentle smile and a head pat.

The door opened, and Alex walked in. "Hey," Sara greeted her warmly.

Meow I lifted my paws in a friendly hello.

"Hey," Alex replied with a smile, giving a small wave in return.

"How are you?" Sara asked, her smile warm and genuine.

"Um, well, punching Nazis— that was as satisfying as I imagined it would be. It's..." Alex trailed off, her words faltering.

"You okay?" Sara asked, her frown deepening as she noticed Alex's unease.

"Yeah. Oh, me? No. I'm— I'm fine. I'm completely okay. I'm okay, okay?" Alex stammered, her nervousness palpable.

"Okay," Sara said, offering a reassuring smile. Huh, I thought to myself, why is the human nervous? Humans are so weird.

"This isn't gonna be a thing, right?" Sara asked as she picked me up and stepped into the elevator.
