The reason the YJ people ended the season like they did was so that they have a better chance of getting the chance to make another season. They left questions unanswered on purpose.
Chapter 2: Dick
I just can't believe he's gone. The red-head I would troll with is gone. He was my best friend. No, is my best friend. No one can replace him.
I looked at his hologram then over at Jason's. My brother and best friend. Is knowing me a curse? First it's my family, then Jason, now Wally. Who's next? Tim? Bruce? Alfred? I sighed again. At least Tim has the right idea. Life is too short, enjoy it while you can. Now him and Cassie are dating. Hmmm, Wonderbird. Sounds legit.
Artemis is going solo, Kaldur, Conner, and M'gann are going to try to busy themselves with work. They may not say it, but I know. And me? I'm taking a leave of absence. Like Artemis, I need to get away.
"Dude! What happened to the guy that had the cackle and trolled with me, because this ain't him."
I turned around fast and almost fainted. Yeah, I almost fainted. Behind me was my dead best friend. He had the same red hair, green eyes, and stupid look on his face. He was grinning widely. Well, I probably did look funny.
"Dicky-bird, why no talk?"
"W-wally?"
"Yes?"
"How? How are you…."
"I would trade secret, but you would get mad if I said that plus you'll need to know if you're going to help me get back."
"Get back?" I said, dragging out each word.
"Yes, to get back here. Did you think I was dead? 'Cause, I'm not."
"Then…..?"
"It's called the Speed Force."
Suddenly we were surrounded by an amazing landscape. It had shining oceans, forests that stretched for miles, sandy deserts, rocky mountains, and cities with every type of restaurant a speedster could want.
"Is this heaven?"
Wally glared at me. "You sure were shuck up with my "death" weren't you?"
I nodded numbly.
"Even Artemis said more than you when I visited her."
"You visited Artemis?"
"I just said that."
My head still felt groggy and could barely understand what was going on.
Then for some reason I was looking to the side and my cheek was stinging. I looked back at Wally; he was glaring at me again. He looked irritated.
"Get it together, man!" he shouted.
My head felt clearer though from the slap.
"Sorry," I mumbled.
"I'm going to waste the energy I need to get out of here on you."
"You want to leave here? Why? It's a paradise for a speedster."
"Sure, but it doesn't have my friends or family."
I glanced over at him and saw his eyes were filled with pain and longing.
"I need your help to get back and you need to be," he paused," not grieving."
I put my hand on his shoulder. When I did I saw everything how he saw it. Everything lost a lot of its color, making things look gloomy.
"Stay safe, alert, and tell Bart the suit looks good on him," Wally turned to me and smiled a goofy smile.
"See you around," and with that he winked and I was back in the Watchtower.
I looked around. Then sighed and looked up at Wally's hologram.
"I'll do anything to bring my best friend back." I turned around and left.
