AN: I appreciate all of the reviews I got for this story, and honestly I was not expecting that many. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and or read my story. I would like to say something to Brock's Geodude. This story is based off of "Depths" except Wally just doesn't know that Artemis isn't dead. I understand I make my fair share of errors in my stories, and I admit that. I appreciate the review. I forget to proofread more often then not to be honest. Once again, here, I bring you part 2 of "Surprise." Enjoy~

Wally's eyes widened in surprise and he gaped at the blonde, the blonde he had thought he lost.

Before he or she said anything else, he swooped her up in his arms bridal style much like he had on New Year's over five years ago and deftly pressed his lips to hers, each other's emotions swirling into the kiss, the strong passion he felt for her seeped out.

His eyelids filled with happy, joyful tears, so glad to have her back in his arms, warm and full of life after the long months he had spent alone, grieving for her.

Her fingers found his red locks, gripping, enjoying the familiarity.

Olive yipped, whining, he needed attention too!

Wally waved him off, holding her closer, tighter, feeling as though it was a dream.

Artemis pulled back first, her mouth open, gaping for breath. She had missed him too much for words.

Only yesterday had she found out that neither Nightwing nor Kaldur had told him she was alive and only posing to be dead. As soon as she found out, she fled, explaining to Kaldur how she had to tell him, she couldn't stand the fact that he was hurting, hurting over her.

Wally buried his head in the smooth skin of her neck, inhaling the enticing scent of vanilla that was all her. Tears dripped onto her neck, dampening her skin.

Artemis frowned, sadness filling her.

Wally swallowed, shivering as he held back sobs. "It was like t-the simulation," He choked out. "All over again…"

She trailed a hand down his face as he looked at her, eyes full of all the anguish and pain he head put up with for the past five months.

"I'm back Wally…" She whispered, his name feeling so right on her tongue.

He let out a low whimper, something she would expect from Olive.

"B-But you were dead babe…"

She shook her head, replying. "I was never dead…"

Her words hit him like a lightning bolt. Realizations pounded his mind, his heartbeat increasing.

Dick had lied to him. Dick had lied to him. DICK HAD LIED TO HIM!

His eyes narrowed in anger. "Nightwing said you were dead… That Kaldur killed you…He lied." He growled.

She swallowed nervously. "We had to lie, it was precautionary and I-"

"You what!" He set her down, clenching his fists. "You could of told me Artemis!"

Oh shit. He was called her Artemis. She was in deep shit.

"It was orders Wally, strict orders."

He threw his hands up, glaring at her. "What's more important Artemis? Orders or me?"

Her eyes narrowed and she pointed an accusing finger at him.

"That is completely unfair! What the hell was I supposed to do Wally? Tell you and risk me actually dying?" She demanded, her voice hardening with anger. What a warm welcome back huh?

His arms fell to his sides. "You have no idea what emotional hell you put me through!" He growled, his voice hard with emotion. "How would you feel if I was alive and you thought I was dead and never told you! Huh? How about when you're in my shoes? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL!" He yelled.

Tears pricked her eyes and she swallowed the lump in her throat, her mouth suddenly drier then it had been before. "…I-I would die." She answered hoarsely, turning her head.

"You would have been better off never coming back, because the pain I feel now is a million times worse then what I felt before." He said, his emerald eyes watching. His eyes then widened when she realized what he had said.

Only then did the tears fall and she sniffed, turning to meet his eyes. If Conner would have been there he probably would have heard the cracking of her heart. "You're right Wally, I shouldn't of come back, I should of stayed with Kaldur and pretended to be someone else when I was dead. I should of let you wonder and wonder, because its completely obvious your feelings for me had changed dramatically." She put the necklace back on and shoved past him.

He grabbed her forearm, stopping her. "No, don't lea-"

She turned, yanking her arm out of his grip. "You said it yourself Wally," Her voice was deeper, more masculine, so un-Artemis.

"I shouldn't of come back, I'll just disappear again."

"No!" Wally cried, falling to his knees. "I can't lose you again!"

She sighed. "Wally when was I ever back?"

His heart stopped. "Artemis,-"

"It's not Artemis anymore, its Linda, Linda Park. Good bye Wally." And she opened the door and slipped out, leaving no trace of that she had truly ever been back.

Wally was not going to get her back this time, and it killed him inside. He had screwed up. And there was no fixing it this time…

Only Olive's whimpering could be heard.

X.x.X.x.X.x.X

For the first time in weeks, Wally ran, he ran all the way to Mt. Justice, his chest heaving.

"Recognized, Kid Flash B-0-5" And he was there. Turns out they were in the middle of a briefing, with Nightwing leading it. Perfect timing.

Wally glared daggers at Nightwing. "You. Me. Talk. Now!" He snapped, storming to the training room.

Nightwing frowned, confused but nonetheless followed, excusing himself for a moment.

He stopped in front of Wally, arching an eyebrow. "What Wal-"

Wally stopped him mid-sentence, punching him in the face hard, stunning him.

Nightwing groaned. "What the hell Wally?"

Wally clenched his fists. "You lied to me!" He aimed another punch, missing.

Nightwing clenched his teeth, dodging every punch Wally tried.

"You made me think she was dead!" His punches came faster, the adrenaline kicking in with his speed.

Nightwing had enough and stopped both of Wally's hands and shoved him against the wall.

He glowered at Wally and through clenched teeth, he said. "If I would of told you, her life really would have been put on the line and then she would be dead."

Wally stopped struggling and sank to the floor, looking up at Nightwing sorrowfully. "You have no idea how much it hurt when she died, I loved her too much to let her go."

Nightwing nodded. "I know Wally."

Wally sprung up, jabbing a finger in his face. "No, no you don't. You didn't lose Zatanna or Barbara now did you? You didn't lose who you were in love with for five months! Five months I was without her! FIVE!"

Nightwing arched an eyebrow. "Five?"

Wally dropped his hand, "Yeah, five." He looked down at the floor, his eyes looking like those of a wounded puppy. "She came back last night. I was ecstatic, then everything went downhill. We fought," He looked up, tears brimming in his eyelids. "Things were said, and she left…," He swallowed, his voice squeakier. "And I don't she's going to come back.." He broke off, sucking in a cry.

Nightwing sat down and hugged Wally tight.

I'll help you get her back Wally, He thought. I promise.
