All was peaceful in the world for once. None of the usual super villains had decided to run amok tonight, giving their superhero counterparts a much-needed rest. The cities were buzzing with their usual noises: cars honking, electricity crackling through power lines, TVs humming with their laughter and talking with all the usual shows. It was almost too quiet… Like the calm before a storm.

Compared to the other world, this world was in complete disarray. One of the most prominent and well-known superheroes, for lack of a better word, died. Wally West, 21, better known as Kid Flash and Fastest Teen Alive (Well, you know what I mean), had faded into nothingness, quite literally, in one of the noblest ways possible; saving the world. Everywhere, people were grieving: his parents, aunt and uncle, his lovely girlfriend, his best friend, and all of the heroes of the Justice League and Team. Not to mention the thousands of fans and people whose lives he had touched. It was much more silent in this world than in the other. It was as if the world was in denial, that it was holding its breath, waiting for the return of one Kid Flash. It was a hope shared by only three other people: Artemis, his lovely girlfriend and the hero now known as Tigress; Dick Grayson, the hero known as Nightwing; and his loving mentor and uncle, Barry Allen, the Flash. It was a foolish hope, but it was the only beacon of color in this gray world without Wally. All the others said he was gone forever, that he was dead.

But between you and me, in reader-writer confidentiality, they're wrong. Because what kind of story would we have if they weren't?


"Tell her… I love her…"

And with those final words, he vanished…


A/N: Yay! New Story! Let's just say that I am very angry at the writers and producers that make Young Justice. So this is what I want to happen! And Abby... I'm joining you on your vow. Anybody else want to, it that we will never watch YJ again if in the next season does not hint at Wally's survival within the first 2 episodes. So... Yeah. I'll update... Eventually. Teehee.
