Read and Review
"This is Cat Grant reporting live from Washington DC, where everything has been trashed, as you can see right behind me. Witnesses have reported a… green blur? Is this a new Speed villain on the scene or one of The Flash's gone rogue? Watch Channel 8 for more news on this hot story!"
"Computer Pause" Aqualad commanded. He turned to Bart as so did the rest of the team as Bart himself was wide eyed over what he had just witnessed. Bart was not an idiot. Clearly someone was trying to impersonate him and give him a bad name, but who?
"It wasn't me! I swear! You heard her, a green blur! I have a yellow blur!" Bart angrily defended. Whoever, this speedster was, they were trying to turn his teammates against him and it seemed to be working…
"Calm down, Bart! No-one is blaming no one… In fact, we called you here to see if you knew anything about this "green" speedster…" Robin explained calmly to the then angry Kid Flash. Robin hoped this would get through to Bart because, an angry speedster is not what they wanted…
Wait a minute, green blur, has a taste of destruction… Could it be… No way, he got left behind in my original time line… Bart thought.
"Um, hellooooo! Watchtower to Bart!" Beastboy said, his face full of doubt and intrigue, as he waved his furry green hand over Bart's face. Bart shockingly came back to Earth… err… Watchtower…
"Wait, what happened" Bart asked sheepishly. Batgirl and Bumblebee rolled their eyes. Typical Bart
Robin sighed: "We were asking if you knew anything about who caused this destruction"
"Sorry Rob, no one comes to mind!" Bart chuckled nervously. Cassie raised one eyebrow.
Robin sighed once again: "I guess we can go now?" Aqualad and Batgirl nodded.
"If any information comes to you or us, contact should be established" The Team nodded together and went off to their separate ways, until Aqualad, Flash and Tigress were left.
"It could be… Wally" Tigress whispered slowly, but enough for The Flash and Aqualad to here. Aqualad looked down in sadness, not wanting to meet the eyes of his fallen comrade's mentor and his girlfriend.
"Tigress… Artemis, we know how much you are shaken by Wally's… death, but we must not jump to conclusion without definite proof plus… The streak is green" Aqualad replied sadly, placing his hand on Artemis' orange shoulder, noticing the small tears staining her face.
"ButWallycouldhavechangedstreakcolours, Iknowithashappenedtomeand…" Flash started ranting on but stopped once he noticed Aqualad's eyes, full of sadness and regret. Flash took a deep breath and sighed.
"He's never coming back is he?" Flash asked sadly, his head was down and he never had the smile he always seemed to carry. Aqualad nodded in agreement. Flash super sped to another part of the watchtower, leaving only Tigress and Aqualad. Tigress took her mask off to reveal a teary eyed Artemis, attempting to blink back her tears.
"He's never coming back, right Kaldur?" Artemis said hoarsely due to her tears blocking her throat. She still missed Wally. Sure, she was starting to get back into her normal life and routine but it… wasn't the same. She had considered moving back to Keystone to help and support Wally's parents but too many memories of Wally stayed vivid within Artemis' mind, so she stayed back.
Kaldur extended a hand of comfort to Artemis, reaching her orange shoulder. "I am sorry Artemis… I wish there was another way…" Artemis wiped away her tears and took a couple of minutes to compose herself.
"It's not your fault Kaldur, don't apologise." Artemis said, with her normal rough voice being back. She placed her mask back on. "I am going to watch some TV. Call me if there is a mission…" and with that she walked briskly away from the centre of the watchtower. Kaldur watch solemnly.
"I'm sorry, my friend…" Kaldur silently said inside his mind, with Wally's face flashing through his mind.
With Bart
A dull yellow streak embraced Central City as Bart ran around, thinking about the green streak.
"Get real Allen! It can't be him… I mean, he was left behind in the original timeline and I am pretty sure "Grandfather" killed him or something, due to failing his mission… If he's NOT dead, how did he get back here and why? To fulfil his mission again?" All of these thoughts raced through Bart's already fast mind. He needed to find this "fake" Kid Flash and find out if his suspicions are true, BEFORE The Team and the JL find him…
Pushing all of those thoughts back into his head, the yellow spandex clad teenager made a sharp right where a distant alarm went off, immediately recognising it as part of Central City bank alarm… A robbery was in progress…
With Aqualad
Aqualad travelled through the cold streets of Blüdhaven, the new home of his fellow Team mate, Nightwing. Aqualad had still failed to understand why Nightwing had chosen this city as his place of residence but it was Dick's choice and Kaldur respected that. Feeling the wind getting stronger, Kaldur lifted his blood red scarf to cover his mouth, as he finally reached Nightwing's base of operations.
After travelling through the zeta beams, Kaldur reached the inside of Nightwing's base of operations. Kaldur found Dick with his mask on, sharpening his bird-a-rang… or whatever those things are called…
Aqualad B02. The computer greeted in her monotone voice.
Dick greeted Kaldur with a warm smile.
"Kaldur, what's up? How's The Team?" Dick asked happily; apparently clueless to what happened on the watchtower an hour ago. Kaldur sighed.
"A green streak was reported in Washington DC, causing a mass of destruction in his trail… The Team think its Bart but Artemis and The Flash think it's…" Kaldur said sadly, briefing his friend on the situation. He was about to finish the final word, but he didn't have to… Dick did it for him…
"Wally" Dick said softly, this is immediately wiped the smile of Dick's face. Kaldur nodded in agreement.
Dick rubbed the back of his neck, "Well, what do you think?" Dick asked. Kaldur sighed once again.
"I do not know, my friend… Aqualad believes it's someone else, an imposter planted by Luthor or one of enemies to divide us… but Kaldur thinks it Wally back from the dead…" Kaldur explained. Dick nodded his head in agreement. He understood what his friend was going through. One side, the civilian side believes what they want to believe, but the hero side is familiar with the term, "Don't judge a book by its cover". No accusations. No doubts. No assumptions until there was cold hard proof. Sometimes those sides were blurred, and Dick found himself blurring those sides today.
"Dick? Nightwing, are you still here?" Kaldur asked worriedly. Dick blinked himself away from his thoughts.
"Um yeah, I'm fine Kaldur… Let me do some research. We need more appearances form… whoever this is before any conclusions can be drawn. I'll get back to you as soon as I have a thesis. Thanks for coming Kaldur." Nightwing said, the least part was quiet and full of doubts. Perhaps, Nightwing is confused himself… Kaldur thought. Kaldur sighed once last time and turned away from his friend, who is his way, was grieving… Kaldur walked towards the zeta-beams, making his way to the watchtower, wanting to start his own investigation…
Aqualad B02
Once the zeta-beam announced Kaldur's departure, Dick's tears began rolling down his cheek. Is it really you, Wally? Are you truly back? Nightwing allowed these questions to ponder him as he worked on sharpening his weapons.
On Apokolips
Darksied and Vandal Savage were in deep conversation with G. Gordon Godfrey and Desaad standing silently in two dark corners.
"Where is this so called Light, Savage?" Darksied asked the immortal man smugly. Vandal glared at the dictator.
"There were some complications with The Light and The Reach, with The Earth so-called heroes interfering." Vandal explained. He was angry at the way the alien was treating him but he did not want to anger the man who could help him put Earth in its rightful place… Under his fist…
"I am growing very impatient Savage. I need The Light or a form of the Light to act as a liaison, otherwise you can consider this business as finished" Darksied threatened. It took every cell of willpower within Vandal Savage to not punch Darksied in the face but the alien made a point.
"Deal, I will reconcile the Light together for your plans." Savage said. Darksied smiled twistedly.
"I knew we could come to some form of… compromise" Darksied said. Savage simply nodded and stood up, causing Darksied's loyal minions to open the door to the controller of the War world.
Savage's Next move: Get the Light back together…
AN: It's done! Chapter 1 is done!
Was everyone written well?
Any ideas on who the green streak is?
