It had been one week.
One very long, very painful week.
Seven days. One hundred-sixty hours. Ten thousand-eighty minutes. It didn't matter how you looked at it, every second was torture for Artemis.
She missed Wally. She missed him so much. All she wanted was for him to have his arms wrapped around her waist, and to tell her everything would be okay.
But that was never going to happen. He was gone.
While she was doing the dishes, she got a phone call from Dick.
"Hello?" She asked, taking off her rubber gloves an putting the phone against her ear.
"Artemis, there's something weird going on." Dick sighed.
"Dick. He's gone. Wally is gone and he's never coming back." Artemis sighed.
"No, that's not what I'm talking about. Something happened. Barry and Bart are checking it out now." He said.
"Where is it?" She asked.
"In the Arctic. Where Wally died." Dick sighed.
As Bart and Barry raced through the Artic, a number of things raced through both of their minds.
What had caused the disturbance? Was it Wally? Or something else?
"Was this event in the history books, kid?" Barry asked his Grandson.
"No. Wally wasn't supposed to die, either! This is all my fault!" Bart groaned, hitting himself in the face.
"Hey, Bart. It's not your fault. You couldn't have known." Barry sighed.
"How much did the future change?" He asked Bart.
"You don't want to- whoa!" Bart yelped, as something zoomed past them, going the opposite direction.
The object pushed between the two of them, and kept on running.
"What the!?" Barry cried.
"Gramps! Look! Red and yellow! It's gotta be Wally!" Bart cried, pointing to the figure.
"Kid! Kid!" Barry hollered, running after the third speedster. Bart ran after his grandpa.
"Wally! WALLY! Stop!" Barry hollered.
Bart ran ahead of his grandpa, towards the speedster in Wally's costume. He purposely crashed into them, knocking them down and sending them flying into the ice.
Bart stopped running, a small smirk on his face. But the smirk left when he saw who he had knocked down.
The speedster had emerald green eyes, and fire engine red hair.
In fact, they looked just like Wally.
Except this speedster was a girl.
"Oh shit!" She squeaked, as Barry caught up to them.
Barry took one look at the girl, blinked twice, and pressed his com link.
"Flash to Watchtower. We've got ourselves... A problem." He sighed, staring down at the confused girl.
"You're... A girl?" Superman stated, eyeing the female speedster.
"Last I checked I was." She shrugged, eating some chips, her feet on the interrogation table.
Black Canary, Superman, and Batman were interrogating her. Flash wanted to join, but he wasn't allowed due to personal reasons.
"You know, I'm just as confused as you guys are." She stated.
"How so?" Batman asked.
"Well for one, where I come from, you two are girls." She said, pointing to Batman and Superman.
"And you are a boy." She told Black Canary.
"So, every one is a different gender where you're from?" Canary asked.
"Pretty much." She said. "From what I can tell, I'm in a different demension. Huh. Guess that's what happens when you disappear. I'm such an idiot!" She groaned, slapping he forehead.
"By the way your Flash reacted, I take it my male counterpart is named Wally. If we're all lucky, he's stuck back at my place. Man! Paul's gonna freaking kill me!" She groaned.
"Paul?" Superman questioned.
"Apollo. My boyfriend of five and a half years. He hates it when I call him Paul. Or Pauly. In his words, it's just Apollo... Male me wouldn't happen to have a girlfriend named Artemis, would he?" She questioned.
"Yes. Would you, like to meet her?" Dinah questioned.
"Sure! I've always wanted to see what Apollo looks like with boobs! I'm Willow, by the way. But just Willow. Only Apollo and Dixie are allowed I call me Will." She informed them.
"Dixie?" Batman asked.
"Genderbent Nightwing." She said.
"You're... A female version... Of Wally?" Artemis questioned, her and Dick staring at the girl, now known as Willow, who was still in her Kid Flash costume.
"Pretty much." She said, scratching the back of her neck.
"So, what exactly happened?" Dick asked her.
"I was running around the crystal with Beth and Bethany- my versions of Barry and Bart- and I kept getting hit. Next thing I know, I'm disappearing and then poof! I'm here. The same thing probably happened to Wally." She explained.
"What's your name?" Dick asked.
"Willow. Willow Rebecca West." She told them.
"You're Artemis. And you're... Sorry, what's your name?" Willow asked Dick.
"... Dick." He sighed.
Willow sniggered. "Awe man! I'm never gonna let Dixie live this down." She smiled.
"Dixie?"
"Female you." Willow explained.
"Which reminds me, Apollo and Dixie should be dealing with Wally right... About... Now." She said.
"Oh! Before I forget? Where will I be staying?" Willow asked.
"Oof!" Wally groaned, as the female version of Bart, known as Beth, slammed into him, causing him to crash into the ice.
"What the hell?" He yelped, when he saw that it was a girl who had crashed into him.
"Where am I!?" He ordered.
Bethany, otherwise known as Barry's counterpart, caught up with them and her jaw dropped.
"Bats. Is. Going. To. Kill. Us." She gulped.
"I'm from another demension?! Are you kidding me!? That shit doesn't exist!" Wally hollered, freaking out.
He was in interrogation with Batman, Superman, & Black Canary's counterparts.
"It seems as though when you disappeared, you and our Kid Flash traded places. Why this happened, is unclear to us." Batwoman spoke.
"Traded places? Like she's with my friends." Wally asked.
The three League members nodded.
"Anyway can we get switched back?" Wally asked.
"We don't know. We'll have to ask Dr. Fate and Zachary." Superwoman stated
"Zachary?"
"He's Giovanna's son." They explained to him.
"Oh! Male Zatanna! Got it! So where will I be staying?" Wally asked.
"You could either stay with this demensions versions of your Aunt and Uncle, your parents, or Apollo." Superwoman suggested.
"Who's Apo- oh. Male Artemis. Hey? Can I meet male Artemis and female Dick?" Wally asked.
"Dick?" Batwoman asked.
"Nightwing."
"Oh. Uh, sure. We'll notify them."
"So this is what Will would've looked like as a boy!" Dixie smirked, eyeing Wally up and down.
"Not bad. Not bad at all." She grinned.
"Will?" Wally questioned.
"Willow. Female you." Apollo explained.
"Oh. Female me is named Willow?" He cried.
"Yep."
"Weird. So, where will I be staying?" Wally wondered, raising an eyebrow.
"With me, I guess." Artemis and Apollo sighed, speaking to their lovers counterparts.
I honestly don't know about this story. I'll finish it, of course. But it could go anywhere.
I'm taking a break from Sleepless. It's too... Emotional for me, right now.
I'm going to finish Sleepless, but I think I'm going to work on this story for awhile.
I have a few chapter ideas for my one shot series.
It's been so long since I updated it, I forgot what it's called.
How sad.
Also, I need help with the Genderbent versions of the Team & League.
