THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT FOR THIS STORY. I AM SO SORRY THAT IT HAS TAKEN SO LONG TO GET THIS CHAPTER UP. I SEEM TO HAVE LOST MY LOVE OF WRITING DUE TO A VERY NASTY COMMENT FROM A REVIEWER FOR THE LATEST CHAPTER OF (THE BATTLE). IT HURT ME VERY BADLY. ANYWAY, THANK YOU TO EVERYON WHO GAVE ME IDEAS AND HAS STUCK WITH ME THROUGH THIS HARD TIME.

Chapter 7

Nightwing couldn't believe what he had heard. Wally was alive. Wally West, his best friend up until a few months before his death in the Arctic was alive. The former Robin couldn't believe what was going on. Nightwing didn't believe in a lot of things but someone who had higher power had heard his prayers of asking for Wally to be alive.

The 23 year old hero almost passed out when he found out that the Flash look alike that was rescued from the Arctic a short while ago was really Wally. Nightwing couldn't believe that he would have a second chance to talk to Wally and apologize to the speedster for everything that happened the past few months that Wally alive in this Reality.

No matter what anyone had told The young Bat, Nightwing couldn't get over the fact that he felt that it was his fault that Wally had died. Even Artemis hadn't blamed him for Wally's death, but that didn't help Dick get over the fact that he was the one that talked Wally into returning to the Hero business for a short time.

"Go talk to him Nightwing." Flash's voice was heard behind Nightwing who turned around to see the older Speedster who had reduced his time with the League to spend more time with his family. Wally's death had taken its toll on everyone especially Barry who had drifted apart from Wally over the last three years Wally was alive. Barry realized that he needed to send time with his family or they would be gone just like Wally had been.

"What do I say to someone that once considered me a brother?" Nightwing asked as he watched Flash sit down in the chair across of him in the lunch room.

"Maybe he still thinks of you as a brother. All you have to do is ask." Barry told the oldest of Batman''s children.

Nightwing just looked at Barry with a sad smile. "I doubt that Barry. You really don't know how much we fought when I asked Artemis to go undercover as Tigress. I thought Wally was going to kill me." Nightwing replied with a sad smile as he remembered Artemis having to pry Wally's hands off of his neck.

"Dick, I know how you feel. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of the words that I had said to Wally when he and Artemis retired from the Hero Business to go to college." Barry told the bird themed hero.

Barry had been upset with Wally leaving the hero business a few months after he and Artemis had graduated High School. Barry had hoped that Wally would stay in the Hero Business part time but that wasn't the case. Barry had called Wally a coward and other words. Those words that were spoken in anger had ended a relationship that had lasted over a decade. Wally had stormed out of house and had never came back.

It was only a day later that Barry had found out just why Wally and Artemis were leaving the Hero Business. One was for college but the main reason was because the Young Justice team had just returned without one of the members. Tula AKA Aquagirl had been killed on a mission that Wally was supposed to go on but couldn't due to the fact that the young speedster had gotten a nasty cold which was rare the day of the mission.

After Barry had found out about what had happened to Tula and that Wally was supposed to be on that mission. Add the fact that Jason had been killed 18 months before that and that a few months before Tula's death, Ted Kord had been killed by The Light, it was just too much for Wally and Artemis who had left behind her assassin family for a better life. The blond Speedster tried to make things right but it was a day late and a dollar short. Wally had refused to even be in the same room as his uncle. Barry had remembered Iris had reamed him a new one for what had happened and refused to talk to him for a month. The relationship between the Flashes had become so bad that even when Wally was having money issues and Barry would send some money to help his nephew through some troubling time, the money would come back unopened with a RETURN TO SENDER stamped on it.

The strain became even worse when Bart had come back from the future and Barry had realized too late that he was not even trying to talk to Wally and mend the relationship. It was only when the world was in danger that Barry and Wally's relationship had started to mend. But it wouldn't last as Wally had died or so Barry had thought in the Arctic.

"So you know what I'm talking about?" Nightwing asked looking at the Older Speedster knowing the fight Barry had with Wally when he wanted to quit.

"Yeah. But Nightwing, Wally would still speak to you even when he wasn't a part of the team anymore. Iris had to bribe Wally to even be in the same room as me." Barry told the young leader of Young Justice. Nightwing had grown since Wally's death. Wally's death had shown the oldest of Batman's children just what it cost to keep secrets from your teammates even if you had good intentions. Nightwing had left the team for a little over a year before coming back to the team who to his surprise elected that he stay the leader of Young Justice.

"But..."

"No buts kid. You have a chance to fix a broken relationship and I strongly suggest that you do just that before it's too late." Barry growled out at NightWing.

"Too Late?"

"Dick, you should know that Wally is a founder of the Justice League in the Reality where he and Shayera had just come from. I may not have known what Wally would have done the last 3 years of his life but I do know that Wally is not going to be staying here cause in all honesty Dick, this is not Wally's home anymore. I could see that when I was talking to the Shayera that was with him when we found Wally in the Arctic." Barry told the young Roma.

"What about you?" NightWing asked.

"I doubt that Wally will want anything to do with me. I just want the team to make their peace with Wally before he leaves." Barry replied only to get smacked upside the head by a metal mace.

The Speedster turned his head to see the Shayera that was dressed in a track suit glaring at him with a glare that reminded the blond of his wife when she was mad at him.

"How DARE you think that Wally wouldn't forgive you?!" Shayera yelled as she smacked her friend's uncle and mentor over the head with her fist. "When I asked Wally why he was trying to get the other Leaguers to talk to me after I came back from my self exile, do you know what the guy told me? He said that he would have given anything to be able to talk to someone that he saw a father and another as a brother once last time and fix things. Keep in mind, Wally didn't go into many details who he was talking about but hearing you talk, I now know that Wally was talking about you two." Shayera told the two heroes sitting in front of her.

Barry and Nightwing looked at the Thangarian that was standing in front of them. There was no doubt that this was most certainly a Shayera Hol as this Shayera was just like the one they knew.

"Wally talked about us?" Nightwing asked, shocked that his best friend would ever talk about him after the fights they had.

"Yes. Wally never told us any details but he did say that he had a falling out with some people that he thought and still thinks of as family." Shayera told the two men as she sat down in one of the empty seats.

"I find that hard to believe that Wally would still think of me as family after what happened." Barry said as he took a sip of his drink.

"Believe me, if Wally can forgive me after what I did, then I think he can forgive you guys." Shayera told the older speedster and the bodysuit clad young man in front of her. "Look, just go talk to him. You have the chance to do that now as I don't know how much longer we will be here and it's like Barry said Wally won't be staying here." The winged Warrior told the two men who were hurting just as much as Wally was.

Barry and Dick looked at each other before nodding their head. "Why don't you go talk to him first Dick. I need to inform Iris and the Twins along with Bart and Jay and Joan that Wally is alive." Barry told his nephew's best friend as he got up to contact his family and tell them the good news that Wally was alive.

"If Bart is a kid about 18 dressed in a suit of red and yellow with goggles on his forehead then he already knows about Wally being alive. Met him just before Wally went into a seizure and before you found out that Wally was alive. Kid's promise to keep it a secret but I guessing that is going to be hard for him seeing that he is a speedster." Shayera said Barry who looked shocked that his grandson had found out about Wally being alive before him. Or it could have been the fact that Bart who was a speedster had kept his mouth shut.

Barry smiled at Shayera before leaving the room. Shayera looked at Nightwing who was debating on if he should go see Wally or not. After a few minutes, Shayera made the choice for the original Robin. The winged warrior grabbed Nightwing by his ear and pulled him out of the lunch room and made him walk to the med bay room where Wally was recovering.

"Go talk to him or so help me, I am going to make sure you will regret that you ever met me." Shayera told the bird themed hero with a grin that reminded Nightwing of nicer version of Joker of all people.

Nightwing nodded his at the Thangarian in front off him. This Shayera was WAY more scarier than the one that he grew up with.

Shayera left the area to get something to eat and probably meet the rest of Wally's family. The only ones that she really knew about was Bart who in the Reality she was currently in wasn't even born yet but came back in time to prevent the enslavement of Earth and the deaths of billions of people. Even though Shayera had only just met Bart for only a few moments, she did like the kid as he had a lot of courage to do what he did. Barry did remind Shayera of Wally so that in so many ways Wally was the spitting image of the man who raised him in both Wally's civilian life and hero life.

Shayera made a mental note to talk to Wally's Aunt Iris about making sure Barry talked to Wally before it was too late. Wally had said at one time that Shayera reminded Wally of his Aunt in some of the ways she acted and the love she had for those she thought of as family.

Nightwing watched as Shayera left the hallway leaving him alone in front of Wally's room. Nightwing as dreading what would happen when he entered the room. Wally didn't die on the best of terms with him so why would Wally want to be nice in the talk that was about to happen.

The one thing Nightwing had been told by Batman when Jason had been killed was to never reject a second chance in life to make things right as you never will know if you will ever get that chance again.

Nightwing took a deep breath as he reached for the door handle to open the door when he heard yelling.

"Nightwing, will you get your Ninja butt in here before I grow old." Wally yelled and it caused Nightwing to smile. Maybe there wasn't as much bad blood so to speak between them as Dick thought.

This was the time to make things right as they should have been done a long time ago.

Next chapter Dick and Wally talk and Shayera deals with some things of her own concerning Wally.

IDEAS ARE WELCOMED ANYTIME.
