"just tell them okay."
Wally never felt it before but it was more than just a simple tingle. it was bliss.
But it was shortlived. he felt something pulling him. Like a gentle tug. and a soft push. like an energized bart dragging him everywhere. he smiled as he took in what he saw blurs. blurs.
suddenly he took view of blurry grey. wiggly lines. patterns. patterns on walls.
'could it be'
he tried to take it in he looked down to see he was not moving. standing. He felt numb as he remembered. 'since when did I stop'
suddenly he heard a sound. a tap. something tapping on glass.
Wally wanted to cheer. how long. that was all in his head. how long was he stuck there. that void.
"hello. can you hear me."
he looked aimlessly. until he stopped his gaze at a girl in front of him through the glass.
"hey kid. my name is abigail dusk. and i can help you get out of the void."

Artemis felt like shit. she could not help but be reminded of wally everytime she looked at bart in his costume.
it was not bart's fault and she knew this. if only i got to say ' I love you too.' one.last.time.
she stared at bart's hologram. yearning for his constant flirting and that cute smirk on his face. her thoughts were cut off by someone beside her. she turned to look. it was black canary.
"c'mon. there is a new teammate."
she followed the mother figure of the team as they went to face the zeta tube. the rest of team are already there.
soon enough the familiar sound of the zeta tube rang out. its artificial voice signalling nightwing and a guest.
' I thought he quit' artemis thought to herself as she took in the two. the girl looked about the same age as bart.
she wore a brown leather jacket that stopped just below her breasts and sleeves that stopped at her forearms. under it was a dark purple tanktop. she also wore ripped jeans. all stained in different fading colors. and her fingerless gloves.
Artemis took in her facial features. she had pale skin and pitch black hair. her eyes bright purple with a glint of trouble.
her mouth and noise covered by a gas mask. white paint formed an 'x' where her mouth is.
"hey guys" nightwing started. " meet your new member. glitch."
he took a soft grip on glitch's shoulder. giving her a glance before he faced the team. "show her around"
suddenly he touched his earpiece."trouble"
he nodded at glitch before he ran to the zeta, leaving his protegee alone in front of the team. suddenly she pressed something on the side of her mask, removing it with ease. she gave a soft wave. "sup"

"so doc...what your saying is i have to wear this chrono core thing so i can be anchored to the present." wally stated
"well...only temporarily. your lucky i found you in the matter of weeks and i already know how to develop the chrono anchor. unlike me..i have this for the rest of my life."
"sorry i said it"
"its fine"
abigail faced wally. he noticed her core it was above her heart and it was somehow connected to her spine. like an exo skeleton. the core was glowing a light green. " let start getting you anchored. shall we."
