"NO!" Wally yelled, and he almost broke the communicator. "She can't do this with me!"

Robin was still speechless. He seemed like he's just waiting for him to calm down.

Wally was crying. He never cried this hard before, not even when Artemis 'died' in front of his eyes, not even on Mr Nelson's funeral. If he thougt back on that picture, it wasn't so realistic. But now, it was real, and he couldn't do anything.

"No, no, no! This just – just can't happen!"

Robin put his palm on Wally's shoulder. "We – we should go back to the cave –"

"Don't talk to me" Wally answered.

'Where are you?', M'gann asked a second later. 'They let us out. What's happening?'

Robin gave them their coordinates. Wally didn't mind them. Who cares with thousands of people being in safety – when Artemis is going to die?

'She's going to die?' asked M'gann with a scary voice.

'Get out of my head, Martian' Wally answered, and ran away from Robin. He still couldn't believe he said something like that to M'gann, but he didn't feel sorry at all. He ran as fast as he could. When he was far enough to don't hear them, he stopped. He didn't even feel his legs. But he felt something else, a wave of pain, running through his body.

"What now, Wally?" he asked from himself. He looked around. I have to find her, he thougt.

The building.

If M'gann's out, then maybe all the prisoners are escaping now. There isn't much time left. The only chance is, that Sportsmaster is there, too. With Artemis.

My Artemis.

Anger made his legs continue to run. But then someone spoke to him, again.

'Wally! Where are you?'

He stopped and almost fell off the ground. 'Canary?'

'I have to get all of you back to the cave! The League can handle Sportsmaster!'

'But –'

'Where are you?'

Wally sighed. Everything what has happened on that day, just went through his mind. He got closer to the building. It was dark, a bit snowy, and looked total empty.

'Got it', Canary said. 'Need some help?'

Wally wanted to say no. But then he realized he really needs help.

'I'll be there in a minute', she said.

Wally moved closer again. It's two buildings, he noticed. A smaller and a bigger one. And everything was under deep silence.

"So, here we are again. You don't wanna know, how it was, being inside. Trust me", Canary said, as she stepped into the light. She lost her jacket somewhere, and her black clothes were ripped a bit. Her arms covered by injuries. Still she looked powerful and ready to fight.

She walked next to him.

"I guess you're not in denial anymore?" she asked.

Wally didn't answer.

"Okay", Canary continued. "Remember what you learnt."

"From you?"

She smiled. "Yeah. And from everyone else. We have to stay together, at first. We aren't close enough to M'gann, to speak telepathically."

"Got it, shall we go?"

Canary nodded. "Let's save your little... Spitfire."
