I do not own Young Justice.
Enjoy!
"To get out, you have to exist. And since your existence has been deleted. You have to be given a new existence" said, the voice.
And then a hand touched him.
Crash Million sprung up with sweat dripping down his neck.
Again?
#Scene Break#
"He's had a nightmare every night." Said, Red Tornado, watching Crash new room. "The possibility that he will continue to have nightmares is very high."
It had been one week since Crash Million had moved in and he flat out ignored people.
He would show up, do what he needs to do and then leave.
It wasn't hard to imagine that they had already dug up all there is to know about him and called his parents about the 'new arrangement' and had made sure nobody but those allowed, remembered seeing him fight with his powers.
"Can you put him on Black Canary list?" Said, Aqualad. "If he can't sleep then he'll never be able to run a full 100 percent."
"I've already done so" Said, Red Tornado.
And the boy wasn't happy to find out he had to attend therapy sessions but took the notice anyway,.
So here he was, on the chair near super powered people who had mental issues.
Great...Crash thought, dryly, at least they allowed him to bring something while he waited, so without shame he began to play his game console while waiting.
He was now ticked that his childhood icons were now trying to gain insight into his mind, right now he didn't have an ounce of respect in his body.
Everybody either looked at him with wide eyes or tried to peek to see what he was playing, everybody else did not dare bring anything to dull the waiting time.
And it was incredibly long, thankfully he brought a charged backup charger and was just about to go to the final level when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
"Its your turn" Said, Bart.
He got up and put the game console in his pocket before going in.
He walked into a room that had the embodiment of lots of boy's his ages dreams and made sure to focus on her face instead of down below as he took a seat.
She seemed almost shocked to see him.
"So your name is Crash Million?" She said, the woman who voice was like honey. "So your new? How are you finding the Mountain of Justice?"
"We'll, I have no choice of being, here do I?" Said, Crash stunning her. "Sure its cool to see my idols that I loved as a little kid but knowing I'm going to have a bunch of super powered adults suddenly stick their nose into everything I do like the rest of the world. Doesn't exactly thrill me"
"...That's understandable. However, you need to be able-" Black Canary began.
"Yes, control my powers and make sure it doesn't run loose and hurt innocent people" Said, Crash before sitting backwards. "Like I don't know this. But that's not what you really want to talk about is it? You want to talk about why I'm having nightmares"
And for a second time Black Canary was stunned.
His ability to read people was shocking.
"Do you think I don't know that there must be a camera in my room. I won't put it past you guys to put a tracking chip on me or implant it into what I consume. Why do you think I go out to eat?" Said, Crash.
He more cautious than a normal people should be at his age...Noted Black Canary.
"Your right, I want to talk to you about the nightmares you've been having" Said, Black Canary. "Its not good for you in the long run if you can't sleep. You won't be a 100 percent"
"Really? We'll, I'm completely fine. I've been having the same dream for 6 months" Said, Crash shocking her. "And I can stay fully focused and I have no bags under my eyes."
"Wait...you've been having the same dream for 6 months?" Said, Black Canary. "That not-"
"Normal. I get it" Said, Crash. "Do you think you're my first therapist? I tell them my dream and they say my subconscious is trying to warn me about something but what I need right now is an exorcist. A ghost has been hunting me for the past 6 months, giving me the same dream over and over again"
Black Canary was stunned.
A Ghost was hunting him?
"Can you tell me anything about this person? What is the dream?" She said.
"We'll, it's about a man named Wally West" Said, Crash.
And Black Canary almost bent down in shock when she heard that name.
.
.
.
Wait.
Wally West?
Maybe, it wasn't who she was thinking about?
"And can you describe him?" She said, trying not to stutter.
"He basically looks like an older version of me" Said, Crash and this time Black Canary did freeze.
Crash know, she knew something in that moment.
"P-Please continue" Black Canary said.
"We'll, this man named Wally is dressed like Kid Flash" Said, Crash each word was shocking Black Canary more and more. "But he's yelling at nothing. He's in a completely blank space. We'll that's what he thought until a voice calling itself the owner of the space replies back to him"
"And?" Said, Black Canary, writing down.
"Wally tells this space guy that he didn't mean to intrude on his home and was trying to find his way home" Said, Crash. "He mentions the name of his girlfriend named Artemis, who was going to kill him for doing something stupid. Apparently, he and she were supposed to be retired or something"
Black Canary almost dropped her pen in shock.
"And then?" Said, Black Canary.
"And then he mentions his family who was waiting for him to come home." Said, Crash. "But the Voice says that he can't leave the space because he doesn't exist. The space was where things that have had their existence taken away from them end up"
And Black Canary leaned in forward and continued to write.
"So what happens next?" She said, extremely interested.
"Wally pleads with the voice, because he has a life to get back to." Said, Crash. "Hearing this, the voice says it can send him back but it would come with a cost."
"A cost?" She said.
"I don't know the cost" Crash said, "Wally just wanted to get back at all cost. Hearing that the man accepted the price, the voice told him what he was about to do. Wally West no longer existed so the voice had to give him a new existence."
"A new existence?" She said.
"Before Wally could try to understand what the voice meant by that, a hand touched his forehead" Said, Crash. "And then I wake up"
And Black Canary was stunned.
"I've been having this same dream for 6 months' since" Said, Crash.
The woman was now looking at him strangely, Crash wondered what she know that he didn't.
Than the timer rang and their time was up, he couldn't help but quickly leave his seat and walk out.
However, Crash got the overwhelming feeling that somebody wanted to stop him from leaving.
Nobody did so.
The session ended and Black Canary practically ran to Aqualad and the group who was originally members of the team.
"Aqualad, everybody. I think you need to hear this" Said, Black Canary confusing all of them while the more fresher members were off somewhere.
Than she played the footage she had recorded from her session with Crash.
Everybody looked to find, he was one cunning person who didn't seem to care about anything but than they dove into what he was dreaming about and there was shock in the room when they heard he speak the name 'Wally West'.
The shock increased when Black Canary asked him to describe him and he described Wally in detail revealing, it was in fact their Wally that sacrificed himself 6 months ago, that he was talking about.
It was like hearing the aftermath of what happened after he disappeared.
So apparently Wally trespassed on alien terrorist and just wanted to leave.
When it was over there was a stunned silence.
"...A new existence?" Said, Mrs Martian.
An idea was forming in their minds, and they didn't know what to make of it.
What if Wally did come back but he didn't come back as himself but as a 14-year-old boy named Crash Million?
He does look exactly alike to Wally when he was 16.
"You can't honestly be all thinking that my Wally turned into a 14 year old boy?" Said, Artemis, appalled by the very idea.
They were going to start a family together and she thought if he came back, he might have a little amnesia or something but still be a grown man.
Not a 14 year old!
"Were not saying that. However, there is a possibility that he was inserted back into the time stream. With a new body, new memories, New parents and a new life." Said, Red Tornado. "A whole new existence. That moment outside the time stream, may have stuck with him and its been haunting him ever since he was inserted back in."
There was silence.
Was Crash Million really their Wally or somebody who has been haunted by Wally?
There was a way to find out...
"You want me to draw pictures?" said, Crash in therapy.
What was he, 7?
"This is a good method to unravel your subconscious" said, Black Canary. "I would like you to draw as often as possible."
"I get it" Cash said. "Whatever my dream is must be alarming and by doing this I guarantee that Mrs Martian stays away from my head, I get it. Can I go now?"
Black Canary had no choice but to let him go and Crash no doubt did it.
However within weeks anybody looking at his drawings would realise he had no further memories of Wally West.
However..
"What is this?" Batman said, looking at the picture that Crash draw.
It was incredibly detailed.
"He's been drawing the same symbol over and over again" Said, Black Canary. "I don't think he realises how many times he has drawn this."
"He has drawn this a total 46 times in a the past month" said, Red Tornado. "I am currently doing a planet wide scan and even asking our Galactic neighbours."
"Keep an eye on his parents" Batman suddenly said much to their surprise. "They didn't look surprised to see me when I talked to them about their son. I get the feeling that the family is hiding a very big secret"
And speaking of Parents..
When Crash came home expecting to see a Parentless house, he was in for quiet the shock.
In the dinning room was a man with green eyes but had black hair wearing glasses and in a cream jumper and suit pants.
There was a woman with orange hair but had a model like figure.
They were his parents.
"Mother? Father?" He said, shocked.
"Hey, sport" said, His father. "You've grown taller since the last time I saw you"
"How is my little boy doing?" said his mother getting up and smothering him.
"Mother. I'm 14!" he said, but he didn't protest to her touch.
He hadn't been touched by her in 6 months so he was allowing himself to be greedy.
"We're so sorry that it took us so long to get free from work" said, his mother as he sat down next to his parents.
"Oh...I didn't notice it at all" said, Crash lying.
"I heard that you made friends at your new school and even went to meet one of them to hang out" said, his father.
"Oh...that" Crash said.
Both his parents rose an eyebrow, they both remembered him wanting so bad to play with regular children and wondering what School was like to the point he asked for that for his birthday.
And now he didn't want to talk about it?
What changed?
And scene!
