Endgame.
"Look it's working! They're shutting it down!" Nightwing pointed at the huge light in the sky. Three Flashes circled the swirling energy, but all you could see was a red and yellow blur. The snow from the North Pole flew through the freezing air, while Nightwing, Miss Martian, Blue Beatle, Superboy, Auqualad, and Artemis stared.
"Earth's magnetic field is stablizing," the voice that belonged to the scarab said.
"Yes!" Blue Beetle exclaimed believing they had victory.
The scarab continued, "But there is a problem Jiame Hermanez. The Kid Flash is in danger. his slower speed is making him an exit valve for the chrysalis energy. In sixteen seconds he will cease."
"Cease? Cease what?" Blue Beetle asked nervously, losing his confidence.
Artemis stared nervously at the huge amount of swirling energy. Blue Lightning bolts attacked the speedster blur, but they were deflected and instead of hitting their they struck the snow. The bolts continued to stike, but then it hit something. No wait someone. Then again. Repeated bolts found a weak spot. Fear filled her as she saw a fast image of her boyfriend being zapped by bright blue energy. His face was filled with pain. She was positive she could hear Wally's screams from within the chaos. She strained to go closer, but Nightwing put his arm in front of her. The winds gradually slowed, but it would not stop yet. She thought about before, and her question echoed in her head. "Do you think it will be enough?" Will they be able to stop it? Will Wally be able to keep up? A nervous knot in her stomach continued grow.
He was risking his life to save the world, again. They tried to avoid this. Putting theirs lives in danger. She wanted to be back home in their apartment. She should have never came back and got involved with the infiltration. She should have left for good, but she had to come back. She couldn't help it, she wanted the thrill. But now that she was back she didn't feel a thrill she felt fear. The fear took over her as asked she asked herself two horrifying questions: Would they make it? Would Wally make it?
As if answering her question the energy started decrease its size, and it shrunk until all of the intimidating blue energy was a ghost in the cold air. The wind blew the snow that covered the ground, and her vision began to clear and focus as the snow cleared like fog. Two figures remained, hunched over in the snow. Wait, shouldn't there be three?
"They did it!" Miss Martian cheered. She flew over to the two speedsters. Her happy emotions melted away the tension, and made everyone feel a moment of trimpuph. They all hurried over to them, following Miss Martian's lead. One thought came to their minds: They beat the Reach. "It's over!" She smiled, as she helped up Impulse who seemed depressed.
Auqulad helped Flash up from the snow and said, "Congratulations, you have sa-"
Artemis cut him off, "Wait... Where's Wally?" But when she saw the sad look on Flash's face, she wasn't sure if she really wanted answer. There was a sudden stop of relief in the air. Everyone knew what was coming next, weather they liked it or not.
Flash began to speak, "Artemis... He wanted me to tell you..."
"No," Artemis whispered softly. She could feel her eyes immediately fill with tears. Her last question was answered.
"... He loved you," Flash said sadly.
Artemis fell to her knees in the freezing snow. Miss Martian flew over to her, and she gracefully attempted to catch her and comfort her as she cried softly in her arms. Everyone exchanged glances. They all knew it. He was gone.
AN: Sadest moment EVER!
