The clouds in the sky loomed over Artemis's room. The sun peeked through enough to shine light on her eyes.

"Ughhh," was the first sound she made that morning. She searched for warmness on her bed. She searched for the fluffy red hair and the bright, shinning eyes only to find a empty cold place. Her eyes flickered remembering the tragic last moments of her true love. The memory of the huge tornado of light, The Flash and Impulse coming back with no Wally. Her eyes not having enough tears to shed.

Artemis sat up straight and lets one tear escape and run down her face before wiping it away with her sleeve. "Wally...", Artemis sighed. It has been a year since Wally's heroic death. For Artemis it was a year of sadness and tears. She missed his cheerful and upbeat attitude. Almost all of her friends at college told her to move on when she was ready, but she knew she wasn't going to be accept his death.

Her cellphone loud rang echoed around her room. Nightwing was calling.

"Hello Dick."

"Not a morning person huh?"commented Dick.

"Thought you knew that already." rebutted Artemis.

"Okay,okay, I'm just checking on you!"

"Alright then, bye."Artemis said then she hung up her phone.

Everyday since Wally's funeral Dick has always called to make sure she was okay. "Hey Artemis."Dick said putting his hand on her shoulder. "I just wanted to tell you that before Wally passed away he made me promise him that if anything happened to you, I would take care of you."

Artemis wanted to tell Dick that it was okay and he didn't have to, but if it was Wally's wish then she would be fine with it. "Okay.."Artemis responded her eyes still wet from her tears.
