Aqualad is standing in the Watchtower, looking down on the Earth, wishing everything that had happened was just a dream, but he knew it couldn't be. He knew that Wally was dead. He knew that his father no longer accepted him. He knew that very few people on the Team or the League still trusted him. He took a large sigh as Superboy and Miss Martian walked into the room, fingers entwined. This brought a small smile to Kaldur's face, knowing that they had finally gotten back together cheered him up.
"Hello M'Gaan, Conner."
"Hi Kaldur!" responds Miss Martian in her once again peppy voice that no one could be mad at. They stood there for the next couple of minutes, not knowing what to say to each other. Eventually, Conner broke the silence, though not in the best way possible.
"So, Kaldur, have you heard from Nightwing recently?"
"No, Superboy, I have not. He has remained distant from all of us. Wally was his best friend, he needs some space."
Conner and M'Gann nodded in agreement. It was silent once again.
"Wow, this place has gotten really boring without me around to keep you guys entertained." Says an all too familiar voice that they each know and love.
"Nightwing!" shouts M'Gann as she flies over to give him the biggest hug of his life. Conn practically had to pry her off of him before he could greet Nightwing himself. After they had all gotten their hello's out of the way, Kaldur asks "So what brings you back here, Nightwing?"
"Something very important, actually. It needs a bigger audience."
"What do you mean a bigger audience?" asks Conner in a careful tone.
"You'll see."
After Nightwing had sent out a message to everyone present at the Watchtower, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Hal Jordan, Red Tornado, Doctor Fate, Zatanna, Plastic Man, Guardian, Kid Flash, Tigress, Shazam, Martian Manhunter, Batgirl, Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, Green Arrow, the Hawks, and Red Arrow were all gathered around the main hall. Nightwing looked around and said to himself "It isn't everyone, but it'll have to be enough." Aqualad, Miss Martian, and Superboy stood behind Nightwing encouragingly.
He steps up in front of the crowd. "I know I've been absent for a while, but in that time, I've uncovered something that we would all find very useful. It may be painful at first, but bear with me, please." He pulls up the DVD he had taken from the Bat Computer, and he presses play, but changes it to frame by frame. He looks at the crowd as it plays, and he can see Tigress grimacing, not wanting to watch anymore. He then saw the face of Impulse, the new Kid Flash. He looked guilty and distraught. He then looks to the Flash, who has looked away, deciding he does not even want to see it. He thought to himself "Those three were affected in a bigger way than even me. How could I have done this to them? What if it means nothing?"
But Nightwing wasn't paying much attention to the video. When he heard just about everyone gasp, he looks at the screen. They had reached the point where all three Flashes were going at the same speed. Even the Flash was watching the video now. He could see hope flare in the eyes of Tigress, Impulse, and Flash. When the video was over, everyone began murmuring to each other, and within time, the crowd dispersed. Nightwing looked around, even Aqualad, M'Gann, and Conner had left, deep in conversation. Only Nightwing, Tigress, Kid Flash, and Flash remained.
Flash was standing in the middle of the room. Everyone else had left, but his eyes were still fixed in the position where he was forced to re-watch the death of his nephew. If he hadn't known what he was saying, even he wouldn't have heard it because of how quit it was.
"The Speed Force."
