Young Justice and Justice League Crossover Fanfiction

Chapter 10

AN: I cant believe that I never changed the name of this story, but at least its self explanatory I guess. Oh well no use in changing the name now. Short AN this time. Onto the chapter!

Wally sighed to himself. What a situation he had gotten himself into.

He couldn't help but feel like everything must have changed after he left. There were some things that he didn't even remember about his world. Everything just felt like a distant memory. He remembered his time starting out as Kid Flash with his uncle as his mentor and the formation of the team all those years ago. Those memories felt like a different lifetime. He used to worry that he would never be able to see them again. But now that he had something was holding him back and he didn't understand why. Maybe it was everything he must have missed. Or maybe it was how much he had changed. How he had gotten a new home, and wasn't sure if he was ready to leave.

And Artemis... He shook his head. It was hard for him to to think about her. He felt as if he had lost her and now she was so close, but still out of his reach. He was afraid of what she would think. He moved onto other thoughts.

He felt bad about Bart, and felt he should probably go talk to him soon, but he needed some time to himself before he went back to all the people that he hasn't seen in years.

Just as he finished his thought he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Wally stood up straight on his bed.

The door opened to reveal Shayera, "Its just me."

"Come in," Wally said.

"Something on your mind?" she smiled to hide her anxiousness but Wally didn't seem to notice, "You don't seem to have your usual energy."

"It's nothing..." he sighed frustrated that he kept so many things from the League members that he had come to call his friends. He stood up off of the bed and went to the window.

"It's clearly not," she said with her usual snark, getting up to follow him. She paused for a moment not sure of how she should say it, but it seemed like he didn't know about it yet, so she had no choice, "When were you going to tell us that you're from another dimension?"

Wally stared at her warily, "How did you find out?"

"Batman."

"Oh boy," Wally let out a small laugh, "He is not going to be happy with me."

Shayera chuckled slightly, but became silent before speaking again, "No one in the League was happy with me when I came back after my kind invaded Earth. I never understood why you were the first to accept me back so quickly. Even John was angry with me but you weren't. Now I know why."

"Yeah, I just knew how you felt I guess. What it felt like to be hiding a secret from everyone around you."

Silence was shared between the both of them as they looked out at the stars.

Wally took out a picture of a woman and himself that he had been holding onto for a long time, but was careful not to let anyone see. It was his treasure throughout all these years.

"Who is that?" Shayera pointed at the blond woman in the picture.

"The love of my life." he replied simply.

She felt the sudden urge to crack a joke about how much he flirted with girls, but she restrained herself when she saw how sadly he looked at the photo.

"Is she dea-" she was cut off by his comical expression.

He looked at Shayera with wide eyes, "No,no,no, she's not! Even though she kind of was for a while... She was faking it for a mission and... That was a really long time ago!" His goofy embarrassment made Shayera want to laugh. She never seen him act like this about a woman before. Normally he was all play-boyish (if that's even a word), but now he looked like a teenage boy blushing over his crush.

"If she's not that," Shayera slid her finger across her throat and and stuck her tongue out in a comical manner, "Then what is she?"

"She's from my world." He said looking back at the picture again.

"Oh..." Shayera immediately understood. She could tell it meant he would probably never see her again. She could feel the knot in her stomach as she thought of all the people she could never see again. How was she so blind to not notice that he was going through the exact same thing as her? She knew how lonely it could be... so she tried to lighten the mood, "Did you say mission?"

"Oh no I've said too much!" He said jokingly waving his hands about, "Yeah I first met her on a covert ops team when I was 15 in my world, but we retired and lived together for a while."

"You mean in the military!? Shayera couldn't imagine him of all people in the army. He would probably screw everything up! And at 15?!

"No,no,no!" He responded the same way as before, "We were on a team for the Justice League."

"The League?" Shayera asked, confused, "You mean the League was formed when you were 15?"

"Nah even before that," he laughed, "I basically grew up with it. I guess since you already know I'm form a different dimension and everything I can tell you about the Team. You were in the League already, but you seemed kind of scary." She glared at him, and he let out a burst of laughter. "At least I got to know you better in this world."

Wally went on to tell Shayera how the Team was formed, and how Batman was the one who approved it. He told her about the missions that they went on, and how they normally would blow their cover even though they were supposed to be covert. He talked about how much the team grew and new additions came along, and what made him eventually want to retire from the adventure of a lifetime.

"I didn't want to lose her," he gestured to the picture, "But that's in the end what I wound up doing. I got dragged back into hero stuff and I wound up here." he looked up at her, who was totally entranced by his story. He tried to end it on a less sad note, "And I helped form the League here."

"Don't you ever want to go back?"

"Of course I do, but I have responsibilities here too now. Besides I don't even know if I can after everything..."

"But that shouldn't stop you from seeing your family again!" she said forcefully, "If I could go back to my homeworld I would! Don't give up on going home." Something about her words resonated with Wally.

"Thank you Shayera. I really needed someone to help me get this off of my chest."

"It's no problem. I'm glad I could help." She smiled at him and left the room.

Shayera felt a lot better now. Wally trusted her enough to share his past and that meant the world to her. She felt like she knew him a lot better now and all the doubts that were caused by Batman finding out about where he truly came from all faded away. Shayera knew that Wally would always be her friend.

AN: Whoo! Two chapters in one day! This one was longer than I thought. I was thinking of making it a two parter with Shayera and Wally's conversation and then going back to the Young Justice Dimension and then ending with a cliffhanger, but I like this ending more. I might wind up writing a third chapter at this point. Please Review it motivates me to write more, plus they give me good feels. Thanks for reading!
