Okay. I don't know where this came from. Blame an overactive imagination and mutating head-canons.
Anyways, first YJ fic so please have mercy on my soul, but any and all criticism is appreciated.

"But I need more time!"
"It's now or never"
"But-"
"You've got to do it now, or we all die."
"I can't leave you guys." Wally desperately tries to hold himself together with small amounts of success. As Dick hugs his friend, for the last time, all he can say is "We'll always be with you Wally. We can't leave you now, can we?"
Finally the two break apart, with a final nod to one another. "Blow it Roy." As the ebony haired boy ran from his friend, tears could be seen running down his face.
As the house explodes behind him, Dick turns around and feels the heat on his face. But surely his friend could still be alive right? "I mean the explosion was meant to kill the zombies, but he could have gone to the top of the house right? But he couldn't see that familiar mop of bright red hair anywhere.." And that's when he saw it. Lying half buried inside the rubble was a bloodstained yellow shirt.
Sinking to his knees, all Dick could do was weep.
"WAALLYY"
As Artemis and Zatanna stood in the kitchen drinking coffee, a sudden loud noise startled them both. Artemis instinctively moved into a ready stance, banging her knee in the process. " I swear I am going to kill them all one day." Artemis muttered darkly while rubbing her aching knee.
"Who died this time?" The yell from Artemis was filled with murderous intent and the threat of violence. Of course, none of the boys responded to Artemis' invitation. But Dick just couldn't help himself. He had his reputation as a troll to hold up. "Wally did!" Dick chimed in trying to direct the inevitable wrath to the usual suspect.
"Well maybe next time, Wall-man, you could, oh I don't know.. SHUT UP." Wally gulped while nodding in a relieved fashion. He'd got off light. Usually she hit him a couple of times to get her point through. Jeez how could that girl hit so hard…
"Thanks for the companionship and whatnot Rob." Punching his friend on the shoulder before returning to the game. "Whatever happened to never selling another bro out? And always sticking to the Bro Code?" Dick's character stopped moving, seemingly thinking about the answer. "Well you did scream like a dying puppy when you died.. So you kind of asked for it." With a satisfied smile, the 13-year old returned to the game.
Sighing at the enthusiasm of his younger friends, Roy adjusted his position on the couch. "Dick you can't really talk either. You knew he was going to respawn in a minute and yet you both started crying and hugging each other." Both Wally and Dick turned to face Roy with indignant expressions. "Well you can't just play it like a game Roy." "Yeah, you've got to believe that what's happening is real. Or else you won't uh.. give it your all!" Both boys bumped fists before unpausing the game.
"I forgot how into the game those two could get." With her knee still aching, Artemis hobbled over to one of the stools and took a seat, nursing her coffee.
"Well I guess that just has to be one of the things that you like about Wally then." Zatanna's laughter rang out over the sound of Artemis choking. "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU ZATANNA THAT I FIND THAT STUPID RED-HEADED IDIOT, ANNOYING AND IMPULSIVE." As Artemis' shout echoed around the cave, an equally loud shout echoed back. "YOU CUT ME REAL DEEP RAPUNZEL." Zatanna shook silently, laughing as Artemis' face turned an even deeper shade of red. "SHUT UP BAYWATCH."
