Alright! New chapter! And it's VERY long :)

And so many reviews :/ Seriously people, is the fic that bad? Or is everyone on a strike?

Anyway, this chapter's theme is AU, so a keep a this in mind:

Some characters may be OOC, and I'll explain why after the chapter, since I don't want to ruin anything ;)

Also, like I said, all these drabbles make up one fic, and I won't mention the word AU or Alternate Universe at all. :D

Not that in this chapter it's that hard :P

For those that don't know, an alternate universe is something that deviates from what is considered 'canon'.

Techinically speaking, majority of the stories here are AU's, since most deviate from the show, and make their own spinoffs :D

Anywho, I hope you enjoy, and please leave me a review? Pretty please?

mimi: Yep, you're first :D Thanks so much, and enjoy this chapter!

KF-AxxMexx: haha Wally is most definitely an idiot :) Thanks, and I hope you enjoy!

==Elsewhere

Wally heard his alarm ringing, and slammed the snooze button, groaning into the pillow. After he managed to will himself to get out of bed, he looked around in surprise. His room, which was usually covered with Flash decals and posters, was now covered with posters of various bands that he liked.

"When did this happen?" Wally wondered out loud.

Wally jumped down from his bed, and got into his running position, ready to zoom down to breakfast. He started to run, and as soon as he tried to get his super speed going, he promptly tripped and fell. "What the hell! What happened to my powers?" Wally complained, standing up.

He walked downstairs at normal speed, and saw his mother in the kitchen. "Morning Wally." She greeted.

"Hey mom, why did you take out all my Flash posters?" Wally asked, serving himself some juice.

Mary West looked at her son in confusion. "Flash posters? What are you talking about? I haven't entered your room in days!"

Wally's eyebrows shot up. "Wait, then who took down my Flash posters?"

"Honey, I have no idea what you're talking about. Is this some sort of new band?"

Wally gaped. "Mom! I'm talking about Flash, as in my uncle?"

Mary was now worried about her son's mental health. "Your uncle? Wally, you don't have an uncle!"

"What? But what about Iris? My aunt?" Wally asked, shocked.

"Wally, you don't have an aunt or an uncle alright, so calm down." Mary attempted to soothe her son, but it was pointless.

Wally was now getting exasperated. "Mom! If this is a joke, I'm really not finding it funny." Then it dawned on him. "Wait, did the rest of the team come and decide to play a prank on me?"

Mary was dumbfounded to say the least. "The baseball team? Nope, no one came here."

Wally groaned. "No mom, the other team? You know, the one we fight crime with? The superhero one?"

"Wally, what in the world are you babbling about? There's no such thing as superheroes."

"What? How can you say that? Then what about Batman and Superman?" Wally exclaimed.

Mary blinked a couple of times. Then she sighed, understanding. "Very funny young man, but your little charade to get out of your English test has gone far enough. Go to school, and I'll make an appointment with the doctor for later."

Wally sighed, this wasn't going well. Wally went upstairs to his room, and got out his cell phone. He decided that he could at least try to contact his other teammates to see if any of them were having the same problem he was. But first, he had to get out of the house.

==Some minutes later

Wally had searched his contact list for the past 5 minutes, and not one of the guys from the team was there. Well, no one that he wanted to contact. He saw Artemis' name, but he didn't want to take chances with the angry archer. Thankfully, he had the Wayne Manor number memorized, and he put the phone to his ear, listening to the ringing tone.

"Wayne Manor." Alfred's distinguished voice answered.

"Hey Alfred! Listen, do you know where Dick is?" Wally asked, thankful he had gotten through.

"I say sir, what sort of sick and demented question is this?" Alfred replied, indignant.

"Nonononono! I mean Richard Grayson!" Wally replied, repulsed.

"Grayson? As in the child from the Flying Graysons Act with the circus?" Alfred asked.

"Yes, the same one!" Wally ecstatically nodded, but in the back of his mind, he wondered why Alfred was talking about Dick like this.

"I suggest, sir, that you go look in your local paper for show times. Wayne Manor is in no means a box office." Alfred icily replied.

"Listen, can I talk to Mr. Wayne then?" Wally fumbled about, trying to see if someone was sane today.

"Which Mister Wayne would you be looking for?" Alfred replied.

"What? I'm talking about Bruce Wayne, what other Wayne is there?" Wally was getting tired of this.

"Thomas Wayne, for example, who is currently in a meeting. And Bruce Wayne is out of town, most probably delighting various women in some foreign tropical beach." Alfred replied, bored.

"Wait, then who's minding the Cave?" Wally asked.

"Cave, sir?" Alfred asked.

"Yeah, the Bat Cave?" Wally elaborated. Was he going insane.

"I can assure you sir, that there is no Bat Cave in Wayne Manor, I do suggest that you visit a psychiatrist. Good day." And with that, Alfred hung up.

Wally sighed. He was seriously running low on options here, then all of a sudden-

"Hey Wall-man!" A very familiar voice called. Not one that he wanted to hear, but for some reason it soothed him. He turned and saw Artemis running towards him, a smile of all things gracing her face.

"Hey Artemis." Wally smiled back, unsure of what to do.

He then got one more shock for his morning as Artemis, the crazy, psycho, angry archer threw her arms around him, and kissed him on the mouth. Not on his cheek, but on his mouth. Her lips tasted sweet, and for some reason, he didn't want to find out what was going on anymore. But he willed himself to break off from the kiss.

Artemis smirked. "So, ready for that dreadful English test?"

Wally shook his head. "Listen, can I talk to you?"

Artemis' face now resembled that of what he was used to. "What about?" She frostily asked.

"Stuff." Wally replied, grabbing her hand and drawing her away to an alley near the school.

Artemis looked around the alleyway. "Romantic spot, so what's up?"

"Listen, what's going on here? Is this some kind of joke?" Wally asked, not at all tactfully.

Artemis narrowed her eyes. "Joke? What do you mean by that?"

"I mean that you- everything, isn't how it's supposed to be! You-us, this! Is all wrong!" Wally brought his hands to his hair, exasperated.

Artemis looked very pissed. "I'm- we're wrong? Care to explain that Wally?"

"Well, yes, I mean no! Just- we aren't dating are we?" Wally was speechless.

Artemis balled up her fists. "No Wally, as of this second, we're not dating anymore."

As soon as she said that, Wally realized the mistake he had made. His eyes widened in realization, and as he looked up, he saw that Artemis had already left, and Wally sighed. He walked back out into the street, when he heard someone calling his name.

"Hey Wally!" One of Wally's friends waved at him.

"Hey Tom!" Wally greeted, smiling.

"So, hey, what did you do with Artemis, she looked pissed!" Tom asked, pointing in the direction Artemis had left.

"I-, Tom, was I dating Artemis?" Wally asked.

"Dude! Did you freaking lose your mind? You two have been dating for months!" Tom looked appalled.

"Huh. Remind me again how I wound up dating her?" Wally asked.

"Well, Artemis was the new kid last year, fresh from Gotham, and she was a chick with an attitude, not to mention a bit whack." Tom started.

Wally scoffed. "Tell me something I don't know."

"You were crushing hard on her dude."

"Say what? Me, with Artemis? No way in hell!"

Tom rolled his eyes. "Anyway, one of the jocks, I think it was Brandon, had asked her out before you could get the courage to even say 'hi' to her."

"Psh, I don't have trouble talking with Artemis."

Tom covered his laugh with a cough. "Right, anyway. Then, we had the end of year dance, and we went for the heck of it, and Artemis went with Brandon. Artemis was wowing everyone with how smoking hot she looked-"

"Dude, focus."

"Right. Anyway. Then it seems that Brandon said something to her that pissed her off, and she dumped him not only as a boyfriend, but that half the punch ended up on his head."

"That sounds like the Artemis I know." Wally nodded.

"As she left, you saw that she was crying, and then you went to comfort her, and you two ended up dating. You seriously forgot dude?"

Wally was dumbfounded. "No, just merely lost my mind. Listen, have you ever heard of Batman, Superman, or the Flash?"

Tom shook his head. "Nope, sorry man. Now come on, let's get to class before Ms. Cotkle has our heads."

"Sure thing.' Wally replied, exasperated.

==Lunchtime

"Hey Wall-man! I've got a bone to pick with you!" An angry voice called out his name while he was at his locker.

Wally turned and saw another of his friends. "Hey Mandy, what's up?"

"What's up West, is that you've got Artemis ready to murder someone." Mandy replied angrily, jabbing a finger to his chest.

"Like she needs an excuse to do so." Wally scoffed. Then he caught Mandy's glare and flinched. "What?"

"Why are you being so rude to her Wally? She never did anything to you." Mandy shook her head. "She's by the park alright? Just try talking to her."

"Fine." Wally replied, slamming his locker door and walking off.

Now that Wally thought about it, if this crazy other world of his didn't have superheroes of any kind, then Artemis was never a replacement. So really, he had no reason to hate her, and she seemed to be a nice enough girl. Hell, if Artemis wasn't, well, Artemis, he'd be all over her, trying to get her to date him. But he was thinking crazy talk. This was Artemis, who never resisted talking back to him, and making him feel like crap, and yet, this is the same chick that no sooner had she seen him this morning, she had rushed up to kiss him fervently.

He finally found Artemis on the swings, her back to him. He sat down on the swing beside her, and noticed that Artemis must be so deep in thought, she didn't even realize that he was there. So, he decided to do something he and his friends always did, and started swinging sideways, but lightly enough that he barely just tapped Artemis with his swing.

Artemis shot up rapidly, and then looked at Wally, her scowl deepening. "What do you want West?"

Wally smiled. "To talk to you."

"Shove off West, I don't need to talk to you about anything. You already told me that us dating was wrong, what more could you say?" Artemis scoffed.

"That I wasn't talking about us-"

"Oh? And that 'this' is all wrong?" Artemis bit back.

"Artemis, look, I was scared. I just woke up, and I was feeling confused, and out of place. I had had such a vivid dream, one which you hated me with a passion, and when I woke up, I think I was still in dreamland." Wally explained. He knew that what he said was partially true. In the world he was used to, Artemis hated his guts, so it was only natural to think this Artemis hated him too-

Wally was snapped out of it by Artemis swinging sideways and nudge him too. "I think you went to dreamland again." Artemis smirked.

Wally chuckled, and started swinging sideways with her, crashing into each other. "So, does that mean you forgive me?"

Artemis scoffed. "Please, this was probably one of the worst lies I've ever heard, but it was entertaining. So yes, I forgive you, for now." Artemis thought for a moment and continued. " I find it hard to believe I'd hate you that much."

Wally snorted. "You'd be surprised."

"I have a snarky attitude, and I like to keep to myself, but I don't think I'd be able to actually hate someone, especially you!" Artemis laughed.

Wally perked up. He had never heard Artemis laugh, and it was a musical sound, and so delightful.

"Hey Wall-man, watch out!" Artemis playfully called to him, and they collided once again. Their swings were now going rapidly, and now by-passing each other. After a couple of minutes, both their swings had gotten so tangled with each other, that they were stuck there.

They both started laughing at the absolute craziness of the situation, and how silly it was. Wally looked towards Artemis, and her eyes. He never noticed that they were of a stormy blue colour, and so endless. He neared his lips closer to hers, and they shared another kiss. As they broke apart, Wally started manoeuvring to get themselves untangled.

The end result was them spinning around rapidly as their chains became separated. Wally, being the daredevil he was , decided to jump off the swing, but he timed it badly, and jumped straight into the swing's metal support, and with a dull clank, fell to the ground.

"Wally! Wally!" Artemis' voice, calling to him, was the last thing he heard before he blacked out once again.

To explain myself here:

If there were no such thing as heroes, I'd imagine that things would've gone a bit differently. Such as: no one gets their parents killed. For example, Bruce Wayne wouldn't become an orphan, since if he did, he'd just become a mass of depression without cause or circumstance to get him out of said depression [ie: becoming Batman]. Also, Dick would also still be with his parents, and in the circus.

In other words, try to picture Bruce Wayne as Arthur from that 80's movie that they recently reproduced with that dude that looks like a rocker [and that I can't remember his name for the life of me]. Billionaire Playboy with nothing to do :D

And to the important part: If there were no heroes, there'd be no Shadows, and ergo, Artemis wouldn't have been trained by her dad to kill people, making her a much more aimiable creature. I mean, yes she is a bit OOC, with her rushing up to kiss Wally, but that was just for entertainment purposes, and to freak the hell out of Wally.

Also, since in the comics, Iris turns out to be this person from the future, and this is a normal universe, in this universe, there'd be no Iris, and therefore, no Barry Allen as Wally's uncle.

So in other words, all HUMANS still exist, just in a life where they aren't heroes. Which means that Megan, Conner, and Kaldur don't exist, for obvious reasons. And neither does Supes...again for obvious reasons.

So, who wants their scrambled brains sunny side up? :D

I know that this is confusing, but bear with me, next chapter we go back to normality, with the theme: Crush! :D

if you still have any questions, please ask, and I'll try to answer as best as I can!

Thanks for reading, and I'd appreciate some reviews!
