The alarm clock read 10:30. AM."Babe, why didn't you set the alarm." I say yawning. My hair is short. Strange. I don't remember that happening."Aren't you glad I"m back?" I pause for a moment. "And do you know what happened to my hair?"

"Babe?" And then it all comes flooding back to me in a wave of memories. Wally is dead. Dead. As in forever. No redos, do overs or second chances. Not like my 3 deaths. In the artificial reality, Cape Caraneval and in whatever the Light's secret evil cave or whatever when M'gann/Deathstroke "shot" me.

I start to cry hard. I've lost so many people. Jason, Ted, Tula, Rita and now- now Wally. How am I going to live without my arrogant Baywatch. I have been without him before: before we were in love, when I was undercover with Kaldur for Black Manta and the light. When I was undercover I knew that even if I burned the world down he would hold me like I was innocent.

Is it possible to miss someone you've only lost for a day, or 14 hours. Yes, I suppose it is. I stand up and slowly walk into the hallway and I suddenly I have a flashback.

"Happy anniversary, Beautiful." Wally says in barely a whisper, tucking a strand of golden hair behind my ear. I groan pulling the blanket over my head and bury myself deeper into the bed; he just laughs, pulling the blanket down just low enough so he could kiss my forehead and began to crawl out of bed.

"No." I say muffled by the blankets. He laughs some more, pulls down the blanket down to my neck and kisses me passionately.

"There that good enough for you?" He says smirking. He's obviously enjoying himself so much the last thing in the world he wants me to say is yes. And it's the last thing I would do as well.

"No." I say, sticking out my bottom lip in a pouty expression.

"I'm hungry, Babe, speedster metabolism, remember?" I exclaims, staring straight into my grayish blue eyes. I do the puppy dog face. Who knew the daughter of two assassins raised ban abusive father, and an absent sister and mother could do the puppy dog eyes so well. "I will be right back." He exclaims. Ha! The puppy dog eyes and pout lips worked! He speeds into the kitchen, then returns in under a second.

I start to giggle uncontrollably. "What's wrong?" Wally exclaims, concerned and confused.

"You have a coffee mustache." I exclaim giggling.

"You are the one person in the world who can take me laying in your bed shirtless and turn it into a coffee mustache." He replies smirking.

"And that is exactly why you are laying in our bed shirtless." I say tilting my head up like a fancy stuck up person.

"And why I love you." He finishes, kissing me the second after he finishes his sentence.

I miss Wally. I remember the day we moved into our apartment. I remember it so well. So, so well. Painfully well, cruciatingly well, horrifyingly well. Too well.

"Well that is all the boxes." Wally exclaims, picking up a box and reading the lable on it. "Babe, whats Lewis Carroll and Agatha Christie novels for bad days?" He finishes picking up Miss Marple's Short Stories by Agatha Christie.

"Oh my entire freshman year." I reply putting down a collection of Monty Python movies on the shelf below the TV.

"So we finally get to sleep in the same bed without one of are parents or uncles or fake uncles screaming at us." Wally says putting his hands on his hips looking at me.

"We secretly loved it though." I exclaim walking up to him, leaning my head up smiling.

"Yeah we did." He replies, putting both arms on my waist. "So you wanna not get yelled at?"

"That's actually not going to happen, I didn't tell my dad we're moving in together." I reply putting my arms around his neck loosely.

"We're gonna pay for that, aren't we?" Wally says.

"Yep."

"So you want to get yelled at?" He replies.

"100 percent." I exclaim; immediately after I finish my sentence he speeds us into our bedroom.

I sigh, going into the closet to pull out a box of Wally's medals. It was weird, for a dude with about 50 1st place trophies his favorite was his 6th grade science fair, he made an entire model of the body including a model for each specialized cell describing the parts of the cell. The medal is made of plastic and has a bright blue tied together ribbon on it. God Wally loved that thing.

The first time I went to one of his track meets was the spring we started dating. Wally was so excited he started to vibrate. It was the first of many and somehow Wally never lost his enthusiasm of me being there. We had to start wearing comms so I could remind him not to blow his cover; and by his cover I mean our cover because several people have video taped us making out in full costume in public. There was legit a website about our relationship, our ship name was Kid-arrow, I wonder what giggling teen fangirl figured that one out.

"Babe, you came!" Wally exclaims throwing his arms around me, I barely mind even though he's covered in sweat (fake sweat of course, he's freaking Kid Flash, this is a walk in the park for him- he barely sweats even when he's Kid Flash).

"It's your first track meet when we're a couple, I wouldn't miss it for the world." He raises his eyebrows at me. "Okay, maybe the world." I continue as we both laugh.

"Well I gotta go, track meets about to start, see you later Beautiful." He says, pecking me quickly on the lips before running off (regular speed, not super speed).

I somehow managed to find a spot in the first row, I have no idea how though, for a High School track meet the stands sure are packed. Wally scans the crowd for me at the starting line and begins to vibrate. Our eyes lock and I shake my hand in front of my neck, the universal sign for what the hell are you doing?! He realizes he's vibrating and stops, an apologetic look on his face.

"Ready set go!" The referee or whatever yells starting the race as about 25 teenagers bolted down the beginning of the race, Wally taking the lead.

"Go Wally, you can do it! Run Wally run!" I yell at the top of my lungs at Wally, in a red and white jersey with a 13 on it.

As he was passing I see a little bolt of red and yellow lightning on his running shoes just for a second, you wouldn't notice it if you didn't know what you were looking for. If I didn't do something quick Wally would start to go into flash time and that wouldn't be good. "Slow down Wally!" I yell, as several people stare at me with looks that say: ¨Are you crazy?¨; but Wally gets the memo. He slows down just enough to win the race and not look suspicious.

¨You won Wally! Great job, you did-!" I am cut off by Wally kissing, me. It's an awkward kiss, don get me wrong. Me leaning over the side and him in his worn out jersey with literally about 150 people staring at us, now that I'm think about it this is really not a good idea at all.

The entire crowd is erupting in a chorus of ooooohs stops our kiss, and I begin to blush dramatically, and Wally runs off with a smirk on his face; at least I don't live in this city. But I have a feeling Wally will be bringing me back here many more times.

Wally was the geekiest person I have ever met. I would always call him an idiot and he would always call me the idiot in love with him. He was an idiot, an idiot for sacrificing himself, an idiot for leaving the hero biz, an idiot for giving himself super speed and an idiot for leaving me. Alone.

I suppose I deserve it. I left him. I don't deserve him. And now I can't have him.

The best memory of Wally now hurts the most. It just wasn't the best moment with Wally, it was the best moment in my entire life.

"Omega, squad is clear-" I'm interrupted by Wally kissing me. Yeah, this happens a lot, like a lotta lot. Wally was fidgeting a lot for a speedster. He kept on glancing down at the ground and moving his hands around a bunch paranoid and nervously. "Are you okay Wally?"

"Ar-Artemis. I-I have something to a-ask you." I pauses and kneels down on one knee, earning a startled look from me and one from him as well. "Artemis Lian Crock I have been in love with you for 5 and a half years. I love your personality, your wild and unpredictable personality, how you argue with everything I say and how you can twist everything, I mean everything into the exact opposite of what I was trying to say."

"Are you trying to get me to marry you or not?" I exclaim, I mean really who insults someone while asking them to marry them? I'm feeling annoyed and, well annoyed.

"Sorry Babe, what I'm trying to say is that I love you. I love you way too much. And I'm about to say the cheesiest pickup line ever, but I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I need to. You make my life hell. But I like it that way. When you were undercover with Black Manta my life was peaceful and I hated every second of it. So what I'm asking is... Artemis will you marry me?"

"No." Wally is shocked, truly shocked. "I'm just kidding Wally, loosen up Babe of course I'll marry you. I love you."

"Is that all your going to say?" Wally exclaims. "I was expecting more of a reaction."

"That's it... For now." I say with a seductive look on my face.

"Ugh, I officially hate now." Wally exclaims as we walk away his hand on my waist and my arm around his shoulder.

I stare at the silver ring on my ring finger. It had three small diamonds on it and the inside of the ring said... Said My Spitfire. I miss you Wally.
