Barry's incredulous question hung in the air, echoing the disbelief that rippled through the room. With a mixture of confusion and concern, he rose from his seat and approached the Time-Swift Siblings, his expression a blend of bewilderment and curiosity.

The twins, Mailin and Henry, shared a fleeting glance, their identical expressions betraying a sense of dread. "Fuck," they muttered simultaneously, a stark contrast to Henry's feeble attempt at humor as he gestured frantically towards an imaginary watch.

"Oh wow, look at the time!" Henry's panicked voice cracked with nervous energy, but his attempt to deflect attention was cut short by Kara's stern command.

"You two stop right there," Kara's voice cut through the room like a blade, its icy calm sending shivers down the twins' spines. They froze in place, the weight of their mother's displeasure heavy in the air.

"Turn around," Kara's demand brooked no argument, and the twins obeyed with trembling reluctance, bracing themselves for the inevitable interrogation.

"Explain. Now," Kara's tone brooked no argument, her steely resolve leaving no room for evasion or excuses. But before Mailin could utter a single word, another voice shattered the tense atmosphere.

"There you two are!" Olivia's abrupt entrance brought a momentary reprieve, her exasperated tone cutting through the tension like a breath of fresh air. With a mixture of relief and apprehension, the twins turned to face their unexpected savior.

"Olivia?" their simultaneous question hung in the air, mingling with Olivia's exasperated sigh.

"Don't tell me you already destroyed the timeline? Ugh, I swear to god you two are worse than Uncle Barry!" Olivia's exasperation was palpable as she seized the twins by the ears, her frustration tempered by a hint of fondness.

With a swift motion, Olivia whisked the twins away, leaving Team Flash and Supergirl to stare in bemusement at the empty space they vacated. Barry, ever the optimist, broke the silence with a nervous smile, his question hanging in the air like a promise of further surprises.

"Is now a good time to announce Kara and I are dating?" his words sparked a ripple of laughter, breaking the tension and restoring a sense of normalcy to the chaotic scene.

Barry's announcement hung in the air, a surprising twist in an already bizarre turn of events. Kara's expression shifted from stern to incredulous as she processed the revelation. Team Flash and Supergirl exchanged bewildered glances, unsure how to react to the sudden confession amidst the chaos.

But before anyone could respond, another voice piped up from the corner of the room. It was Cisco, his grin widening mischievously as he leaned against a nearby console.

"Well, well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a double dose of time-traveling romance," Cisco quipped, his tone laced with amusement. "First, the Time-Swift Siblings, and now, the Flash and Supergirl? Talk about a crossover event!"

His remark elicited a round of chuckles from the gathered team, breaking the tension that had settled in the room. Despite the surreal circumstances, there was a sense of camaraderie among them, a bond forged through countless battles and shared experiences.

As the laughter subsided, Kara's gaze softened, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. She reached out to Barry, intertwining their fingers in a silent gesture of solidarity.

"Well, I guess secrets are out today," Kara said, her voice gentle yet resolute. "But hey, if the universe can handle time-traveling twins and superhero romances, I think we'll manage just fine."

With nods of agreement and supportive smiles exchanged all around, the team returned to their duties, ready to face whatever challenges the future held—both temporal and emotional. And as they worked together, united by friendship and a shared sense of purpose, they knew that no matter what trials lay ahead, they would always be there for each other, through time and space.
