Young Justice: Apocalypse.

Chapter 1: Business as usual

Vandal Savage approached Apokolips in the War World. Landing, he walked up to Darkseid, who was waiting for him. The grey overlord turned to Savage.

"Business as usual?"

Vandal nodded and repeated the phrase as a statement. Darkseid then said, "Let us begin."

Vandal, Godfrey, and Darkseid sat in a board room. Vandal began.

"The Light has had a thorn it's side for the past six years known as the Team."

"The Team?"

"The sidekicks of the Justice League. They have halted many of our operations. They recently sent in spies, to uncover very important information. They revealed our plan to betray the Reach. It was our most devastating loss yet. We cannot have it happen again."

Darkseid appeared to stare into empty space.

"We wont. I will make sure this so-called 'Team' does not interfere anymore. Soon, all will see the Light."

Watchtower 1:40 a.m. EST

Batman was on monitor duty. The rest of the League were cleaning up the Reach mess. The Team were still finishing off operations of the Light. Suddenly, a red light popped up on the screen. It was near the Arctic circle. Batman said to the computer, "Zeta, identify anomaly in the North Pole."

Zeta replied, "Energy impulse detected. Heat readings match that of Kid Flash B03."

Suddenly the zeta tubes came alive.

"Recognized: Nightwing B01, Supergirl B27, Cyborg B28, Starfire B29, Beast Boy B19, Batgirl B16, Bushido B30, Kid Flash B23, Portal B08, Tigress B07"

The ten young heroes walked into the Watchtower. Batman called over Nightwing to the computer. Nightwing gasped when he saw the screen. He quickly turned to the team and said, "To the BioShip, we're going to the North Pole."

"But we just got here!" Bart whined. Nightwing and Batman glared at the young speedster. The heroes ran to the BioShip and took off for the location of the impulse.

On the way there, Nightwing told Artemis and Batgirl about the heat signature. Artemis was becoming joyful. Nightwing stopped her.

"Now don't get your hopes up just yet." He said. "We still have yet to investigate it, and see what it is."

Artemis nodded, but behind her Tigress mask, she was pouting. 'I really hope it's Wally' she thought. 'If it isn't, I will personally avenge him.' Artemis got mad but quickly cooled off.

Happy Harbor 3:00 am EST

Conner, M'gann, Kaldur, Mal, Tim, and Cassie stood amongst the ruins of the Cave.

I can't believe it's gone. M'gann said via mindlink.

I can't believe I destroyed it. Our home. Tim put his hand on the Atlantean's shoulder.

You did what you had to. Robin assured. Cassie frowned and pulled Tim aside. Forgetting about the other's inclusion in the mindlink, she thought to Tim,

How can we trust him!

Who? Kaldur? He's a friend. He would never betray us.

HE BLEW UP THE CAVE! Cassie threw up her arms for emphasis. His actions undercover make Conner seem stable!

I heard that. Superboy frowned, and crossed his arms.

Cass, Kaldur's our friend. And I trust him 100%. Tim looked at Cassie disappointedly. He couldn't believe his girlfriend was so stubborn. Mal and M'gann stayed quiet. Eventually Tim walked away. Kaldur put his hand on Cassie's shoulder.

I assure you, He said. You can trust me. Cassie pulled away and walked off with the others.

North Pole 3:10 am EST

The BioShip landed. The heroes jumped out. They stopped when they saw it. There he kneeled, panting. Wearing a yellow shirt with a cowl, red pants and gloves, and a lightning bolt in the middle of his chest, stood Wally West. The one. The only.

When he saw the team, he smiled and said, "Wally West has once again proven his awesomeness."

"Wally!" Nightwing ran to his friend, but the speedster ran past him and hugged Artemis.

"I cheated death for you babe." He whispered to her.

"What happened?" Batman asked the ginger.

"After the blast hit me, I faded into the Speed Force. Because Barry and Bart were still using it, I used their energy to 'hoist' myself back here."

"So you were trapped in another dimension." Portal asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yep."

"I don't care how you got back, I'm just happy to see you old pal!" Nightwing hugged his best friend.

"So am I." Wally replied.

A snow camouflaged Cheshire was watching from a distance. She pressed her ear.

"Great one. We have a problem. The former Kid Flash is back."

A/N: Hope you like this story so far! BTW, Portal is an OC of mine who, according to this timeline, joined the team during season one. And yes, this is the "real" Wally, not some fake from another dimension. So, Read and Review!
