Chapter 25: Memories

Star City

July 4th 21:25 EDT

"Are you alright?" the man questioned, having noticed she dropped the card like if it were demented.

"Um uh yeah I'm fine." she stumbled over words but picked up the card, Wally West was clearly engraved on the card, though it was expired, from two years ago, yet he hadn't seemed to have noticed. "Can I ask you a question?" she whispered having finally noticed the blazing green eyes that belonged to her Wally.

"Sure, go ahead." he nodded.

"What's your name?"

"This might sound crazy," he laughed. "But I really have no idea, I woke up a couple of hours ago and had no idea where I was but I was starving and I found this wallet in my pocket, it had my ID in it and said my name was Wallace West." Artemis laughed, not because it was funny but because this was Wally. Wally West, her Wally. The one that was assumed dead. It was him. He was back.

And she was engaged.

"So you don't know anything about yourself?" she questioned, pushing the thought of her engagement away.

"Nothing, well not much at least," he shrugged. "I know my name is Wallace West but I prefer Wally, um I'm 25 and my parents names are I think Rudy and Mary West?"

"Yeah, that's them!" she smiled thinking maybe he could remember everything.

"I just don't know where they live." he shrugged.

"Um, don't worry about it, I know where they live, I'll drive you there later when my shift is over." she promised.

"Alright that's fine, but um what's your name beautiful?" she cringed at the name, her heart skipping a beat though.

"Artemis."

"I'll call you Arty if that's alright with you?" she force a half smile with a nod. The door rang and in walked a tall brunette man holding the hand of a small red headed girl.

"Sunshine, we're back." Artemis bit her lip but looked up with a smile and waved.

"Hey Derek," she walked around the counter and over to the man and little girl. "How did she behave?" Artemis questioned picking up the red headed girl.

"Like an angel." he smiled and kissed the little girls freckled cheek. She let out a laugh and playfully swatted at him.

"Would you mind taking her home? I'm going to be home a little late, I have to drive out to Central City-"

"But that's a two hour drive." he quickly interrupted.

"I know, I'm sorry, but an old friend came to town and he has no idea where his parents live now, it's been a long time since he's spoken to them." she shrugged with a smile. "Please? If you love me?" she pouted and he sighed.

"Fine."

"Thanks, don't forget Emi is a light sleeper so once she's asleep try to not make any noise and don't give her cold milk before bed, it'll keep her up for hours." she pecked his cheek and turned, heading back over to Wally. Derek eyed Wally up and down before walking over.

"Hello, I'm Derek." he stretched his hand out to Wally who gladly shook it.

"Wally West, nice to meet you." he smiled.

"Right, so how do you know Artemis?" Derek questioned, his tone a little harsher than he had meant.

"I really don't-"

"Remember well, it's been years, we met back when we were both fifteen." Artemis quickly stated. "Derek you should get Emi home, it's late."

Derek nodded and shot Wally one last glance before leaving. "Jealous much?" Wally laughed once Derek was gone.

"It's part of his personality." Artemis shrugged.

"So was that your daughter?" Artemis nodded slowly. "What was her name?"

"Emilia Iris Crock but we call her Emi." she quickly replied glad he hadn't asked who the father was.

"I really like that name."

Wally was sitting on one end of the couch, his arm resting on the arm rest and remote in hand, Artemis' head resting in his lap, her body stretched across the rest of the couch, her flash shirt ruffled up to her belly and revealing her Batman shorts. Artemis was fiddling with her fingers before she sighed and dropped them to her stomach and glanced up at Wally. She looked over his features before sighing again and earning Wally's attention.

"Need something babe?"

"What would you name our kids if we had some?" Artemis carefully picked her words. A little surprised by the question Wally put some thought into it before shrugging.

"If we had a girl I'd name her Robin and if we had a boy I'd name him Kid Flash." he played earning a laugh and light punch from Artemis.

"I'm being serious Kid Dork."

"Fine, fine I'd name our daughter Emilia and our boy Jai." Wally smiled. Artemis slowly nodded and looked away. "Why?"

"Just asking." she shrugged.

Central City

July 5th 00:20EDT

Artemis pulled into the West drive way and cut the engine. They sat silently for a moment before Wally sighed with a smile. "It's now or never." he pulled his door open and stepped out, quickly followed by Artemis. Both walking slowly up to the door, and noticing everything in the house was off.

Wally quickly nodded and stood silently before side ways glancing at Artemis. Arty caught his glance and smirked. "Lose something?" Wally shook his head and turned to the floor.

"I just feel like I should know you...the moment I saw you in the restaurant my heart skipped a beat and something told me I knew you..."he shrugged.

"Wally look I-" she was silenced the moment Wally pressed his lips to hers. Artemis was too shocked to pull away, yet the kiss felt familiar, like the ones she had always shared with him before...

The front door was pulled open and Mary stood there a gasp escaping before Artemis and Wally pulled apart, both blushing furiously.

"Wally!" she cried throwing herself around her son. She let a few tears escape before ushering both Wally and Artemis inside and calling out for Rudy to come down. "Artemis where did you find him?" Mary cried in joy.

"I-actually he found me," Artemis shrugged, "I was working when Wally came in and I was ringing up his order when I noticed his name on the debit card, I panicked but after realizing it was him I brought him here."

"Thank you Artemis." Mary smiled just as Rudy walked in.

"What's all the commotion-" once his eyes rested on his son he fell silent. "Wally?" Mary nodded and held Wally tighter.

"My boy, where have you been?" Rudy cried out and dropped his arms around his son.

"I –um—really don't know..." Wally shrugged once his parents had taken a seat on either side of him, Artemis sitting on the sofa across from them. "I just, I woke up earlier today and I had no idea where I was. It was pretty scary, I tried walking but I don't I like raced across and over the water, I had no idea what was happening." Wally dropped his gaze to the floor, his hands balling into fist on his knees. "I can't remember anything else."

"You have no idea who took you?" Mary questioned.

"None,"

"It was Vandal Savage, he and his men hid Wally years ago, he told us we'd never find him...he never said Wally wouldn't find us." Artemis smiled a bit.

"Wait, Wally you spoke about your super speed like you didn't know you had it?" Rudy pointed out.

"Super speed?" Wally scrunched up his face in confusion before dropping to an understanding expression, "Right, yeah is that what got me across the water? Super speed?"

"Wally, do you remember anything about your life?" Artemis whispered.

"N-not really," he shook his head, "Nothing, not even who you are beautiful." Artemis blushed at the name.

"Wally, Artemis was your girlfriend, we thought you'd at least remember that! You loved her more than anything else in this world." Mary frowned.

"Mary, Rudy can I talk to you guys in the kitchen for a minute?" Artemis jumped to her feet, rushing out of the room before they could reply. Artemis stood leaning against the counter, her arms wrapped around herself and eyes closed.

"Artemis, what's wrong?"

"I think it's best if..." she stopped, unsure of how to phrase her sentence. Glancing up she frowned, "I think it's best if we don't remind him of how much he loved me." Mary covered her mouth and shook her head.

"Artemis, you know how much the two of you loved each other, why would you want to give it up?"

"I don't but..." she looked away before holding up her hand, "I said yes to Derek a few days ago, I can't go back on that now..." her arm dropped back to her side before she walked over to the people she considered family, "I think it's best for Wally to be allowed to relive his life, to keep going, move on, forget me...I'm no good for him anyways."

"Artemis Crock don't you dare say you aren't good enough for our son because in our eyes, you two were the perfect couple." Mary placed a gentle hand on Artemis' shoulder. "But Artemis if this is what you truly want...then who are we to deny you."

"Thank you," she smiled and they headed back into the living room where Wally stood in the far wall, glancing at all the pictures on the shelves. The three stood silent as Wally looked over each frame before picking one up and walking over.

Wally looked at Artemis a small smile on his face then looked back to the floor. Artemis' gaze fell to the frame in his hands, a picture of Wally and her back a couple months before he went missing. Wally muttered something but Artemis didn't catch what he said. "What?" Artemis questioned.

Wally sighed and pulled her aside, whispering softly so only Artemis could hear him, "You want me gone don't you?"

And that's the end. Ugh. Why can't I just let them be together? I love putting people through pain don't I? Well let's see I don't know what else to say besides thank you to everybody who has been reading and any new readers I have.
