Hey I've re-edited this chapter to fix some of my dumb and/ or weeb-y mistakes. I hope you enjoy!

August 18 2:00:00 EDT Watchtower

Mal was on Watchtower duty that night, trying to dig deeper into some Intel about the Black Mask. Something had been brewing for a while and the team was going to get to the bottom of it. Batman said some new guy is messing with Mask's business and Bats wants to see when Black Mask will retaliate. The worst part is, Batman believes is that this isn't just some bit player, this guy seems intent on taking Gotham down with him.

"Hey Mal." a friendly voice came from afar

"Hey BB." Mal replied

"Still nothing, huh?" Our friendly green elf asked

"Nope." He replied

"Huh I wondered what Batman's worried about anyway?"

"Knowing Batman, probably something on his own level."

"Ok then; later."

With that said and done Beast Boy walked out of the room…in a sort of tired motion, almost like he was half-asleep. Considering how late it is it is not surprising.

Artemis POV

"Business as usual, I guess."

We've been on this case, busting all of the Light members for all of their crimes. It's not going well to say the least; oh man it would be easier if Nightwing was back on the team, but because of Wally's ... death, he felt he needed a break.

It's been weeks since Wally died, the team and the league have been trying to comfort me, but how can they. I just lost the love of my life; going undercover as Tigress I thought I was the one who would die; especially not Wally. Oh, Wally, I miss you.

As I put on my Tigress costume I know Iris and Barry are missing you, and he thinks it's his fault, we've tried telling him differently but not sure he's processing this well. As I walk to the zeta tube for Tigress to do her work I can't help but think about that New Year's Day, our first kiss.

"Oh." I realize that I cried all over the picture of us at the Watchtower and it's all ruined. I can get another, it was pulled from security cams, but I can't replace Wally.

"Aqualad to Tigress, come in." reads my intercom

"Oh well," I sigh. "Showtime."

M'gann POV

Oh Wally what has happened to the team, with you, Artemis, and Nightwing gone I'm not sure I can stay on the team anymore. Nothing's the same, the only things that are like the old team used to be are the fact that I'm back with Conner and Aqualad is back as leader. But it's not the same without all of us here, together. The new members are fine but I miss when we, the eight of us, were just it.

"Hey sis, it's time to go!" Gar calls.

"Ok I'm coming!" I shout back.

"Time for another briefing" I mutter to myself as a make my way to the common area.

Wally POV

All I can remember is cold, dark, and musty, with the smell of dirt and food. I'm starving I haven't eaten in weeks. I can feel my bones through my flesh, curse speedsters metabolism. Something smells good, like Aunt Iris' cooking, AUNT IRIS? and Uncle Barry, and Artemis. Oh no I have to go...ACK! I can't move.

"Oh you're awake." A disembodied girl's voice came from around the corner.

"W-w-were am I?" My dry voice croaks out.

I opened my eyes to a giant burrow with dirt walls, curved roof and walls, and many animal skins. I looked down there was a blanket over me made of sewn animal skins, I'm still in my kid flash suit although it's covered in filth. Around the corner, I see a girl dressed in all green.

"Do you need something? "

"Uh... who are you"

"Oh" she said her ears perked up, her CAT ears. "I'm Kat and I saved your life. So what seems to be the problem?"

"Well…first off, where am I, what happened, and... what's with those?" Wally said pointing at Kat's cat ears.

She sighed deeply and continued "Look it's a long story ... I can tell you bits and pieces."

"Just tell me what you can."

"Ok this is my home the burrow; you were trapped in the speed force; and my ears…well, that's a story for another day."

"Oh." not likeing the last answer I looked back at her.

"Can you stand?" She asked pulling back the blanket and grabbing my hand, pulling me up, wobbling, I stood.

"Now over here." She says; a demanding tone in her voice

"I got you some food if you think you can take it." She, Kat, I think questions curious.

"Please I'm Kid Flash, fastest boy alive I can take anything"

"Ok whatever you say Kiddiot." She states, rolling her eyes." And here's your soup."

I looked at something in a bowl I'm not sure what, but it smells good. It's a deep red, almost looks like tomato soup, but I've seen that before. There is bits of what look like pork, but I know aren't.

"Might as well eat." I murmur to myself.

Back At The Watchtower

"Alright team " Aqualad calls to the team "Today we are going to Gotham. There have been disturbances that Batman wants us to check." He pauses "recon only as we do not know what we are up against."

With that said, the team received their assignments within Gotham and headed out For their next mission.

Done! that was productive! And special thanks to Reina Grayson for betaing this

:P
