Hey everybody! It's been a while since I actually wrote a story ^^' so here I go with another story. It's no one-shot this time and it's going to be a little depressive but I still hope you like it ;D

-WALLY'S PROFIEL-

Ugh…where am I? what is this place? I slowly opened my eyes to see white. White and only white. I quickly closed my eyes again. To bright! What the heck happened?

I started to think. Oh yeah, the accident…I died. Then I guess this must be heaven, right?

I heard voices from afar. Are those…angels?

Now I could make words out of the strange sounds. Words like 'Wally' and 'alive'. Wait, alive? I'm not dead?

Quickly I opened my eyes and shot up from the bed I was, apparently, in. Okay, bad idea West. My head hurts like hell so I lay back down and looked around me.

I saw Superboy, dressed in a white laboratory coat and glasses. He was looking at me with his mouth a little open and I think I even saw a tear at the corner of his eye.

Of course, the macho he was, didn't want me to see it and covered his eyes with his hands while leaning onto the table before him. A small grin appeared and he shook his head a couple of times.

Next to me, sitting on a chair next to my bed, was M'ggan, wearing the exact same clothes as Superboy. She was crying her eyes out and smiling like an idiot.

"Wally? Wally, can you hear me?" she asked while looking at me with hopeful eyes.

I shook my head yes, and held it with my hand. My head was really killing me.

"Blue Beetle, quickly! Tell Aqualad Kid Flash is alive!" Blue beetle, who apparently was in the room the entire time, rushed out the door to tell him.

"W…What happened?" I managed to say.

M'ggan looked at Suberboy and then back at me. "Well", she started, "What's the last thing you remember, Wally?"

I shook my head. I had to do more thinking?! "I…I remember the accident. I died…I think."

M'ggan sighed and started explaining, "No Wally, you didn't die. Let me explain it from the very beginning. When you ceased, Artemis refused to believe you were dead, since there was no body found."

Artemis! How could I forget! Is she alright?

The Martian interrupted my trail of thoughts and went on with her story.

"She tried to forget you by joining the team again but she couldn't keep it up. It was too painful for her. She just couldn't forget you, so in the end she quit. But that didn't help either. Every night I came to visit she was crying on her bed with one of your shirts clamped in her hands."

Artemis…

"It was killing us all to see her this way, so we asked Blue beetle if there really was no way that you could be alive. Then he told us that there was a small chance that you could be in the speed force."

The speed force?

"All though the chances where one on a million, we had to try. After a long time of research we found a way to get you back. And it worked! Half an hour ago, we got you back. Oh, I'm so happy you're alive!"

That moment Aqualad stormed the room in. His calm personality seemed to vanish for a moment, but was quickly found when he saw me.

"Wally…you're alive", he walked towards me, tears were clearly seen in his grey eyes.

Then suddenly I realized something. "Hey, how long have I been in this… speed force?"

It seemed like I had asked a difficult question since everybody was looking from one to the other.

"Well…" Aqualad said, "about a year."

My eyes shot open. A year? A whole friggin' year?! I can't believe I wasted a year in that stupid speed force!

I shot out of the bed, my head felt a lot better now, but I was still a bit dizzy. "Wait, Wally, where are you going ?", superboy said, about to stop me from standing up.

"I have to go see Artemis", I said running as fast as I could, without tripping over my feet.

"No, wait! Artemis doesn't-", that was the last thing I heard.

I ran to the flower shop, close to our- well, now probably her house, bout a bouquet of roses and went home. If I could call it home.

There I stood at the stairs that went straight up to the door of our beautiful house. My legs started to get numb. In a second, I stood at the door.

And that, was when my world came crushing down on me.

Dick? What is he doing here? Wait…why is cupping Artemis' cheek? Is he going to…

My eyes widen as I looked at my best friend and girlfriend kissing.

I opened and closed my mound a several times.

W…What is going on here…why are they kissing?!

I dropped the bouquet and started running in a random direction. Tears came rolling down my cheeks uncontrollable.

Different emotions went through me.

Anger. Anger because my best friend betray me. Even if he thought I was dead, then you still don't kiss your best friends girlfriend.

Sadness. Sadness because Artemis was able to find someone who could replace me. You can say I'm selfish, but I don't want Artemis to be with anybody other than me.

But above all that, the thing I felt the most was pain. I just lost the two people who are most important to me. Why? Why, why, why did it have to go like this?

I stopped in my tracks and saw I was in the middle of an unknown forest. Just then, reality hit me.

On that spot, I sunk to my knees and started to cry my heart out.

"I should've known" I sobbed, "it might seem like a day to me… but it was a whole year to Artemis.."

I started trembling, "of course she has moved on…"

I screamed as hard as I could and started punching the ground before me.

Why?
