Set after one year of the events known as Endgame in the episode of Young Justice
A lone memory flashed in the mind of a certain someone, of a teenager dressed in a yellow costume and is racing as fast as he can following with his idols and a costumed hero of the future, he wasn't fast enough in which he heard over the communications link and heard a voice as he knows six-teen seconds he will be gone. Then he is engulfed by a strange light as he screams out loud.
"AHHHHHHHH," said the teenager "AHHHHHHH, uh….huh. What?"
He falls out of bed and is on the floor as he picked himself up, he looked at his surroundings and found himself in a church of some sort with a single candle in the room. Along with a plate of soup and he looked at his clothing, it looked torn and ripped. He also sniffed himself and by the smell of it, he needs a bath. Wally West Kid Flash had survived and he noticed his hair is long, along with growing a beard. Then the door opened and a man stepped inside.
"So the young one has awoken," said the man "Welcome to the congregation Brother Mustard, however I do not know your real name."
"Who are you, where am I and am I dead," said Wally
"I found you lying on the street about a year ago," said the man "So no you are not dead, I've kept an eye on you ever since. Brother Mustard I am Father Grigori and you are in Ravenholm,"
"Uh….you can call me Wally, Father," said Wally "And thanks,"
"Anything for the newest member of the congregation "said Grigori
"Are there others," asked Wally
"Brother Gordon was here awhile ago, but I helped him escape," said Grigori "We are sad to say the only humans here now. I must warn you they stalk the streets."
"What?" said Wally as he heard noises echoing in the background that sounded like moaning and screaming in sounds he has never heard before.
"Demons," said Grigori "Once people, but no more. It started with fire rained down the skies as the devil himself sent his minions to possess the humans. I was the only survivor and remained that way. The devil will never get me as I have faith."
"Have you heard of the Justice League," said Wally
"I do not know of a justice league," said Grigori "As everyone is welcomed in the congregation to rid all of evil,"
Wally got up slowly as he used a short burst of speed to take a look out of the window. He sees this Ravenholm looks like Gotham however it is not the case and those noises were echoing in the background. Grigori walked besides him and opened the window as there is a foul odor of death in the air that made Wally almost puke in disgust.
"I notice your symbol, of a lighting bolt," said Grigori "Are you of god's children."
"I do have powers, yes," said Wally in wondering if this man is crazy.
"Good, then you are a crusader in riding the world of evil," said Grigori "The demons are everywhere, eat first and then come I will show you these demons."
Wally eats quickly as the food tasted bad, but he is hungry and wondering if there is running water. He needed to go to the bathroom and he uses his speed to find a bathroom to relieve himself inside the church. Once that was done he came back to Grigori who is arming himself with a shot-gun and a few small weapons.
"Are you well enough to fight the demons," said Grigori
"Guess I have nothing better to do," said Wally
Ravenholm two days later
Wally West Kid Flash felt faster than he was before and Grigori mentioned this place known as Ravenholm was once a mining town before the devils minions arrived to change the people. Wally cut his hair a little bit, sporting a goatee and made a few alterations to his costume, changing the color to white along with two swords provided by Grigori. These demons are zombies that once were people, as there is nothing to do to save them.
The traps have worked in taking care of these monsters and his twin swords sliced through the zombies as well. He had found information in regards to some sort of alien invasion that happened a decade ago called Combine. Grigori told him it is a mere word for devil and his minions, along with the outside of Ravenholm as a hellish world on Earth ravaged by the devil and his minions. Grigori mentioned Brother Gordon a few times and the rebellion of the light that drove out the devil.
Wally wondered if he can leave this place as he sat down with Grigori at the table inside the church, it is a good meal as they had killed one of the devils creations an Ant-lion of some sorts that tasted good. Wally wondered if Grigori would help him leave this place and come with him. They swapped stories as well in which he mentioned a girl he liked as Grigori called her his goddess of the light as it made Wally chuckle at that.
His thoughts also pondered on the team, his friends and his goddess. They must think he is dead and moved on without him. Only if they knew he survived his ordeal. His eye narrowed and his resolved harden to the point he was angry, too angry. However he kept his emotions in check as Grigori noticed his emotions as he is a good man despite being crazy and is almost a father figure to him in learning how to survive.
"Brother Wally," said Grigori "I see upon your face you wish to leave Ravenhole and join the rebellion of light."
"Yeah, I do," said Wally "But I don't want to leave you behind."
"I will take you to where you need to go to escape," said Grigori "And Brother Wally; you need not worry about me. My faith is stronger than these minions of the devil. Remember to seek out Gordon and the Rebellion of Light, come let's go."
"Agreed," said Wally
Grigori and Wally armed themselves as they headed to Wally's means to escape. Thunder crashed in the background and rained started to drop upon the mining town of Ravenholm as Grigori took it a sign from god that another never-ending battling between good and evil will begin. Only if Artemis knew he was still alive and has no way of reaching her, perhaps some day if he digs himself out of this hell he will go to her.
