This fanfic was inspired by a Justice League fic I read the other day (I'll put the name of the fic on here if I find it again) and the Teen Titans episode, "Nevermore"

Summary: Kid Flash is in a comatose state and it's up to the Young Justice team to get him out of it. What is inside the mind of Wally West? What secret are hidden inside that the team does not know about?

ENJOY.

Inside Your Mind

CI

"Kid, can you hear me?" Flash asked, touching his nephew's forehead in a parenting way. "Come Wally wake up." He was starting to sound desperate even though he tried hiding it from the younger heroes in the room.

M'gaan had her hands to her temples as she tried to connect into Wally's mind; she looked for any sign he was still with them, if he was able to hear them, whether he still had thoughts, anything. But she heard nothing and she lowered her hands slowly from her head and looked down at the floor sadly.

Robin watched as his mentor went over to the Flash, his hands clenched at his sides tightly. He remembered they had been battling Scarecrow when a spherical object had rolled right beside the red-haired hero. It exploded, letting out a bright-almost blinding-green color. Robin could still remember watching his friend's silhouette, barely able to make out, as his knees buckled and he slouched to the ground.

...

1 hour before

Aqualad and Robin ran up to their fallen companion, what they saw made them stop momentarily in shock and slight fear. His mouth was open slightly as trickles of blood dripped down his chin, but since his face was upwards it caused the blood to trail down the side of his face to his ear. His eyes were no longer the dazzling emerald green, instead they were fogged over; they gave off the impression of a blind person's eyes, the pupils were milky and unseeing. He looked like he was right at the brink of a silent scream.

The two friends recovered and immediately went to his side, thankfully the battling around them had ended so there was no danger of them getting attacked from lack of attention.

"Wally!" Robin cried in childlike fear. His worst thought was that his friend was dead, because he certainly appeared to be.

But when Aqualad pressed two fingers to Kid Flash's neck, he could still feel a pulse. And it wasn't faint either, it was calmer, but that was just because of his unconscious state.

"C'mon Robin, we have to get him out of here," the teenage leader said gently.

Robin looked up at him and nodded silently. Aqualad scooped up the speedster in his arms carefully and turned to start walking back to the bio ship. The two heroes didn't halt in their quick walking even when their other teammates ran up and asked what had happened to their friend.

Aqualad was the first in the bioship and he went to the back; he laid his friend down on the bed that was specifically for the purpose if anyone was injured or unconscious. The leader silently contemplated whether he should cover the speedster's face so the others couldn't see the horror, especially M'gaan. But he then denied that option. Aqualad heard footsteps behind him and he turned to see M'gaan, Superboy, and Zatanna.

"What's wrong with Baywatch?" Artemis asked as she came up next to the bed. But when she looked down at him, she didn't have a chance to say anything more as a quiet, fearful squeal came out of M'gaan's mouth.

The green martian immediately put her hands to her mouth at the site of her friend. Superboy put his hand on her shoulder and asked-without removing his eyes from Kid Flash- "What happened to him?"

"We aren't sure, but we think it has something to do with that bright green gas that we saw," Aqualad answered.

"Fear gas?" Artemis asked, having heard of the weapon but never having seen it used first-hand.

"Fear gas is not what caused this," Robin said darkly from behind them. He then made his way next to his best friend and place his hand gently on his shoulder, he still felt his friend's warm body heat that normally radiated from him. "It had to be some new type of weapon."

M'gaan's hands left her mouth and in a slightly quivering voice she asked, "What's that?"

She was referring to a piece of paper that was gripped tightly in the speedster's hand. Robin gripped it but found it rather difficult to pull out of his teammates grasp. Weren't unconscious features supposed to be limp? He had to pry his stiff fingers off of the note and then slip it out of his hand. The fingers stayed in the same position that Robin had put them in. The sight of his hand unnaturally still in that awkward position, pointer and middle finger up and slightly bent while the others stayed in the grasping position, sent shivers down Robin's spine. He opened up the note just as he heard Aqualad announce that he was going to start the bioship, M'gaan was requested to go with him and she followed hesitantly.

"What's it say?" Artemis asked as Robin glared at the note; he handed it to her.

The handwriting was like chicken scratch, but Artemis and Superboy could still make out what it said:

Do you kids like puzzles?

Find all of the pieces and put them together

The mind is a funny little place

Sometimes you have to look really REALLY deep inside in order to find

The exact pieces you're looking for

Artemis frowned even deeper at the note and Superboy asked, "What is this supposed to mean?"

Robin didn't answer and looked down at his yellow-clad friend again. The blood that had traveled from his mouth down to his ear was now drying; his fogged and milky eyes still unseeing at the ceiling; his mouth still agape in the start of a scream.

...

Present time

Martian Manhunter read the note over for the tenth time. He had his hand to his chin thoughtfully as M'gaan said excitedly, "I hear something!"

Everyone turned to her, wanting to know what she was hearing from their unconscious friend. "I don't hear him specifically," M'gaan said. The bond was then broken and she took a breath before continuing, "I heard laughing, crying, screaming, talking…but they were all so faint."

No one had a chance to say anything more as Martian Manhunter announced, "I think I know how we can get Kid Flash out of this comatose state."

"Well then tell us!" Robin said impatiently; Batman looked at his sidekick disapprovingly but said nothing.

"This might sound crazy, but I think we need to go inside Kid Flash's mind in order to wake him up."

"If you're talking therapy, I don't think he's in any state to tell us much," Black Canary said from off to the side.

"Not like that," Martian Manhunter replied. "I mean physically go inside his mind. Flash, it would probably be best if you stayed here with him in case he wakes up. For all we know, he could wake up to the same effects as fear gas; and if he has that kind of waking stress if could cause problems for the others inside his head."

Flash nodded but then said, "But wouldn't it be better if I were in there with-"

"No Barry," Batman said. "Martian Manhunter's right."

"But we will send you if we find it definitely necessary," Martian Manhunter said and the Flash nodded again.

"Woah, woah, wait!" Artemis said, holding up her hands. "Who is going inside KF's mind?"

"You all are," Batman replied seriously-knowing, however, that there would be protest from the blonde.

"I do not feel comfortable going inside of his mind! Who knows what goes on up there?" Artemis argued.

"Well would you rather him stay like this or us go in and save him?" Robin asked coldly, shutting Artemis up immediately. "He'd go right away if that was you on that bed."

Artemis stared at the younger boy in shock; his tone was cold and angry. Aqualad came forward and said, "Robin is right, Artemis."

The archer then said nothing and she looked down at the floor.

M'gaan walked over to the still, rigid form of her friend and touched his forehead. She then reached out her other hand to Robin who stood next to her; grasped it and the line continued, all of the friends grabbed the other's hand. M'gaan's eyes glowed bright as they opened and they all felt a strong whoosh of air and a suction-y feeling all around.

The young heroes were then thrown to the ground rather violently and they all let out 'oomphs' when they hit. Robin groaned as he sat up, he then looked around to see his puzzled friends sitting up as well. And where they were was…

"We're back at Mount Justice," Superboy stated more than questioned.

"But…I don't understand," M'gaan said as she looked around at what was considered the living room area of the base. "I connected! And I…I still feel connected."

"Well something must have gone wrong," Aqualad said. "Let's head back to the Med Bay and-"

There was then a giggling that reminded the team of Robin whenever he did his signature laugh. It made them all looked around in curiosity. Artemis then said, "That sounded a lot like-"

"Hey guys!" Kid Flash ran into the room and skidded to a stop in front of them, his hand up in a wave. He wasn't in his uniform, however, like the last time they'd seen him.

"KF!" Robin said, surprised. "What-how did you-?"

"You're awake," Superboy stated again.

Wally laughed as he sprinted over to Superboy and ruffled his hair, making the boy cringe and scowl slightly. "No I'm not, silly!"

The four tipped their heads in curiosity at this statement; he had answered it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. But it was then that they noticed what he was wearing and Robin snickered into the back of his hand.

"Dude, why are you wearing that outfit?" he asked.

Wally looked down at himself, smile going away only momentarily. He wore a white, short-sleeved button up shirt with a pink t-shirt underneath. His jeans were a pale, almost glowing, bright blue. His smile then reappeared as bright as before. "Because I'm extremely happy today, that's why!"

M'gaan smiled, enjoying seeing her friend like this rather than the way he was on the Med Bay table. She walked up to him and gave him a huge hug. "I know this isn't really you but it's so good to see you like this rather than-" she didn't finish her sentence as her face fell.

Wally grabbed her up in a hug as well and swung her around, "It's nice to see you too M'gaan!" he cheered.

Artemis scowled and marched up to the gleeful figure. He let M'gaan, who was now slightly dizzy but still grinning, go. "Alright Baywatch, tell us how to wake you up so we can get out of here."

Wally didn't retort, instead he continued grinning at her widely. "Oh Artemis, you silly! I can't just tell you."

Artemis glared at him, he was way too happy; even happier than usual. "And why not?" she snapped.

"Because you have to find all of me!" Wally answered.

"How do we do that?" Superboy asked.

"I can show you if you want!" Wally offered.

"That would be nice," Artemis answered sarcastically.

"You're just a little grumpy gills aren't you?" Wally said, still wildly chipper. "Turn that frown…" he put his fingers on either side of her mouth and moved them upwards into a smile, "…upside down Arty!"

Robin, M'gaan, Aqualad, and Superboy all grinned at the surprised expression that came over Artemis' face. It was almost as if she was lost without Wally arguing with her.

Artemis slapped his hands away and her face went back to scowling again. "Stop that!"

Wally continued smiling even though Artemis had slapped his hands. Aqualad's grin then disappeared, feeling that they needed to get to work, and he asked, "Could you help us find the other parts of you?"

"Sure!" Wally answered brightly. "Just follow me!"

The speedster then started humming and skipping out of the room, he did a full body twirl before rounding the corner.

Robin snickered again; he definitely wasn't going to let Wally live this down.
