Hey guys! I don't really have much to say for this was, so we'll just get started. Enjoy!

Wally and Dick finally arrived in the Cave as the robotic voice overhead announced them. Wally hadn't heard that in a while, and actually kind of liked hearing it again. Seeing this place again brought back so many memories. Including the first time he had seen Artemis. Artemis. He felt himself sing back into deep depression at the thought.

Dick noticed his friend's change, and decided to try and boost his spirits. "Remember that time we snuck into Red Tornado's room?" He asked, hoping to get Wally's mind off Artemis.

"Yeah," Wally replied solemnly.

"And the time when you missed the League and Team fighting together, but ended up saving the queen from Count Vertigo?"

"Yeah."

"And when you got so upset because you missed going to the beach with us?" They had laughed about that multiple times afterwards. Of course Wally hadn't found it so funny when it happened.

"Yeah. It was the first time I saw Artemis." His mood dampened even more. If he hadn't had good control of himself he probably would have broken down sobbing on the floor.

"Oh, right." 'Crap!' Dick thought. 'You should've remembered that, Grayson.' "Are you hungry?" He asked, trying to change the subject.

"No," Wally replied, even more solemn.

"Well you need to eat." With that, Dick grabbed Wally by the arm, and started pulling him towards the kitchen.

Wally dragged along behind Dick. How could he think about food at a time like this? But he decided that if it would get Dick to shut up, he would do it.

They reached the kitchen, and Dick started making at least five sandwiches while Wally crashed on the couch. Once the sandwiches were finished, Dick stacked them onto a plate, and handed it to Wally before sitting down across from him.

Wally took the plate, but set it down next to him on the couch. He just stared past Dick, at nothing in particular. It was clear that he wasn't really present. His face said it all. There was only one person on his mind, and nothing was going to change that.

"Come on, Wally," Dick finally said. "You've got to eat something." Dick was seriously concerned for his friend, and didn't want to see him completely fall apart. He had expected Wally to be upset, but not be this depressed.

Wally glared at Dick, picked off a tiny corner piece of the bread, and ate it. "There. I ate something."

Dick was about to say something, when Batman's voice played through the speakers. "Mission briefing in five."

"Well," Dick started. "I guess that's my cue. Try to stay out of trouble, ok?"

Wally just went back to staring at nothing. He didn't want to be here. He wanted to be at home, on the couch, with Artemis in his arms. Why did that have to be such a hard request?

Dick sighed, and walked away towards the briefing room. He wouldn't be surprised if he returned to find Wally in the same position. But he couldn't blame him. Back when he and Zatanna were together, if this happened with her he probably would have reacted very similar to Wally.

A few minutes passed before the League and Team disappeared through the zeta tubes. Wally just sat there a few moments. He was beginning to get a little bored, but wasn't sure what to do. He was also starving due to not eating anything all day. He decided to just eat one of the sandwiches, but before he knew it they were all gone. But he did feel a little bit better.

Wally stood up, and decided to just wander around. He walked through the training room which brought back sooo many memories. All the times Artemis had kicked his butt when they sparred together. He sighed, and kept walking. Eventually he made it to the briefing room, also holding a lot of memories. He continued on for a while until he just couldn't take it anymore. This was supposed to be making him feel better, but it was only making him feel worse. He decided to head back to the break room, feeling too downcast to do anything else. His shoulders were slumped, head down, and felt weak in the knees.

As he was passing the computer room, he heard a beeping noise. Curious, and having nothing better to do, he walked in to check it out. He saw a red blinking light on one of the computer screens, and took a close look at it. Wally noticed that the dot was on a map, and realized that it meant trouble. But the League and Team were gone. 'Crap.'

Wally's hero instincts slowly started to take over. Somebody was in trouble, and he was the only one that could do anything about it.

"Guess I'm not quite out of the hero thing yet," Wally muttered to himself before taking off for his old room.

He stopped when he saw his suit hanging up. He hadn't looked at that thing in years, but had to admit that he had missed it. Even if just a little. Snapping himself out of his thoughts, Wally quickly got changed, and took off for the zeta tubes. Thankfully Dick hadn't been right and he still had his speed. Of course the sandwiches and adrenaline rush probably helped, but still. He got to the zeta tubes, and sped through. Here he was, once again, going out to save the day.

Wally arrived at the place, the docks, and stopped near the water. Of course there was no sign of anybody. But why would there be? That would just make things too easy.

He stood there, listening closely when he heard something in the water behind him. Wally spun around to see men dressed in black wet suits suddenly come up out of the water. Wait a minute...He recognized them as Black Manta's henchmen.

The men attacked immediately, putting Wally in an early defensive stance. Thankfully his moves started coming back, and his instincts started to kick in. 'Sweet,' Wally thought. 'I guess five years didn't completely wipe everything out.' He soon started to fight back instead of just defend, and the fight slowly started turning over to him.

Wally's confidence was way higher now, and he started to throw in some of his old, cocky moves and comments. But suddenly a strong arm wrapped around him from behind, and a cloth was roughly placed over his nose and mouth. He tried to break free and not breathe, but this was some fast working stuff. Within just a few moments the world started going blurry before it completely went dark.

So there's chapter two. Pleeeaaassseee review! I would love to know what you guys are thinking so far. Thanks!
