Entering the next room, Artemis was feeling uneasy.

It was empty but Artemis' intuition was going wild.

Despite Wally telling her to calm down, the archer couldn't let down her bow.

The darkness was eery.

Suddenly the walls began to shake and quickly, Kid Flash stood behind Artemis.

Standing back to back in the middle of the room as the walls began to fall.

"The room was a fake!"

Wally yelled.

The ceiling was giving way and Wally quickly took action by grabbing Artemis and running out of the way.

Outside the fallen room was a gigantic jack-in-the-box playing itself.

Red numbers were counting down from 5 minutes.

Both heroes stood wide eyed.

"So… not a bluff."

He spoke.

Without taking her eyes away from the machine, Artemis asked "You know how to turn off a nuke?"

Wally scratched the back of his head,

"Regular bombs, maybe. A nuke is way more dangerous to play with…."

The same voice that spoke to Artemis rang over their heads,

"Which makes it all the more fun! Now if I were you two, i'd hitch a hike home to watch the fireworks at a 'safe' distance. But if you super babies are so desperate to prove yourselves then go ahead and give my jack-in-the-box a try!"

He laughed before the coms went out.

Wally looked at Artemis.

"This isn't about proving myself right now, it's about saving this city before it gets blown to ashes."

She stated before approaching the over-sized toy.

"We have to find a panel."

The speedster was silent, and had not moved.

"We could die here, Artemis."

She gave him a sharp look, "Then we'll die trying."

He took a deep breath before running up to her.

She was behind the machine, unscrewing the panel with an arrow.

Wally took a knee beside her.

'Say it' were the words that he kept repeating in his mind.

"Artemis, I…"

She looked up from what she was doing, "What Wally, make it quick."

He sighed, "I… I think I know how to turn this thing off" he lied.

The archer popped off the panel and ushered him to try.

He looked around. Wires and wires.

He groaned, 'This is nothing like a regular bomb.' he thought.

He was pulled from his thinking when Artemis yelled, "3 minutes!" from the other side.

"I can't do this, Artemis." he confessed

"You have to try"

He looked back into the machine. "I could make it worse, I could set it off early."

Artemis held out a sharp arrow.

"Are you going to do this or am I?"

Wally realized Artemis' mind could not be changed. She was determined.

Taking the arrow from her hand, he slowly turned his head back towards the panel.

He had his options.

"Regular bombs consist of 4 colors, red,green,blue, and yellow. Usually it's the green wire, but this one has several other colors like purple, silver, and teal."

Artemis was crouched beside him, "So… whether this thing blows or not is going to be based off a guess!"

Wally sighed, "Yes, Artemis."

Both held their breath as his red gloved hand grabbed the green wire.

Suddenly the machine started beeping and Artemis ran to the front to see why.

"Oh my god, 8 seconds Wally."

The baby music grew louder.

Wally immediately sliced the green wire upon hearing Artemis' voice.

Wally saw the peak of the jack-in-the-box beginning to burst.

In a blurred movement he picked the archer up and shot out of the building as fast as he could.
