"This was it.
The last day for us.
After every funny, sad, happy, crazy moment we've had, every dark and light memory I will remember for the rest of my life, today of all days was our last day.
After living with this boy who soon became a man after 5 years.
5 whole years of my life, plus the additional year as a teammate of his, after all the struggles we went through together, his own downfall, as heroic as it was, left me in pieces.
Wow.
Five years. Wally West, Kid Flash, died saving the planet. Leaving me alone, of course. I lose everyone.
Whether it be losing people to death or crime they both hurt equally as much. Take away a major piece of me, yet for some reason I keep going. Some reason I always come out with a little less of a heart and a little more of life. I guess it's true what they say.
'What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.'"
Artemis sunk in her chair as she spoke to her good friend Zatanna after finally feeling somewhat better after the loss of her happiness, Wally.
Zatanna looked at Artemis with pure grief, she knew how it felt like losing someone important to her, someone they loved, but she knew she could never feel as sad as Artemis because at least her father was still alive.
Maybe that was worse, looking at someone you love directly in the eye and they don't even know who you are any more.
The two girls were quiet. Drowning in their own remorse and depression. As much as they both wanted to comfort each other, they could not manage. Especially when they both felt the wave of sadness hold them down.
Zatanna thought for a moment of the many spell she had tried in an effort to free her dad, but she never thought of the idea of bringing someone else's loved one back. The idea suddenly struck her like a bolt of lightning.
"Artemis… Do you think… it could be possible to uh… bring Wally back?"
Artemis awoke from her fazed state of remembering the happy speedster she loved and was caught slightly off guard from the question, "What?"
Zatanna was now heavy in thought, "I've done everything I could to try and release my father from Fate, and failed so many times. I know how it feels to lose a loved one, but I never made an effort to help someone get their loved one back… at least, I've never had a reason to… do you think… it would be possible to bring Wally back…? I mean… it's crazy I know but-"
Artemis interrupted to overwhelmed by the idea, "Is that even possible?"
Zatanna took another moment to think, "Well… when it comes to magic, impossible is a rare word, but to bring some one back from the dead is kind of risky… because well, sometimes they don't want to be brought back to life, other times they could have a zombie affect, but the worse scenario is he might not remember you or anyone else, he might not even remember who he is…"
Artemis was listening to Zatanna with extreme thinking, she knew even considering it was crazy, but love for him already had her crazy.
"Zatanna. If you can actually do something like that, I'll gladly suffer the consequences, but please, if you can, then do it."
Zatanna looked at Artemis with fear and sympathy, "This is insane… but, if you believe this will help you move on, knowing the possible consequences, then I will gladly try."
Artemis smiled as a tear managed to escape her silver eyes, she smiled slightly, "If you can make it happen, you won't imagine how much you'd be saving me."
Zatanna smiled still feeling weary about what she was about to attempt.
"I know Artemis. I'll try my best."
