SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO UPDATE! DON'T OWN JL!

J'onn stepped back from Flash's body and turned to face the others,

" I have led him to his mental exit…it's all up to him now." They stood together, waiting for a few moments before Diana walked over to Flash and kneeled down next to him,

" Flash, by the gods, you have to get up. It isn't the same without you…" She continued to whisper into his chest as he slid one eye open and gave the others a wink before closing it again,

" All those times I said you were an immature fool, I'm sorry. And—" Wally could no longer take the laughter that was building up inside of him. He sat up, clutching his ribs from laughing so hard,

" HAHA you should've seen your face! HEHEHEHE I didn't know ya cared, Princess!" He stopped chuckling when Diana brought one threatening fist back in order to punch him. He gulped loudly and scrunched his eyes close when it came swinging down but instead of hitting his face, the fist went around as Diana pulled the younger man into a hug,

" It's good to have you back." She muttered into his neck and Flash could swear he felt tears. She moved away, wiping her eyes as she went and allowed Hawkgirl to take her place. Shayera Hol was never one for PDA's but to everyone's amazement, including hers, she bent down and pulled Flash into a bone-cracking hug,

" Hawkgirl, my ribs still hurt…Oxygen!" He joked, returning the hug full force. Superman came up next to shake his hand then yank him into a hug. J'onn and John both clapped him on the shoulder, giving him a one handed hug.

" Hey Bats…no hug?" Flash smirked, a smirk Bruce thought he would never see again, he knew he had a difficult time dealing with loss, he was just glad he wouldn't have to this time. Batman cocked his head to one side and walked out of the infirmary,

" LOVE YOU TOO, BATS!" Flash yelled after him. The others stayed; John still hadn't let go of his shoulder, which was getting a little painful after an hour. The all stayed together, talking until J'onn announced that Flash's body still needed to heal and that they had to let him rest. They stepped out of the room, one by one, each more reluctant to leave then the first. Flash waved at all of them, Diana coming back for another hug. She was crying harder now, from happiness Flash hoped, he hugged her tightly, whispering,

" Hey, it's ok…I'm back. For good." She smiled at him and walked out. J'onn approached with another needle,

" Uhhh…J'onn, flowers would be better…maybe chocolates?" J'onn gave him a small smile,

" You will recover faster with this." Flash felt the needle slide in before closing his eyes into a peaceful, non-coma, slumber.

Batman waited until J'onn had left the infirmary before slipping in. He stood in the corner, watching Flash sleeping, just to make sure he was still alive. The Flash was Wally West, Bruce had suspected but now he knew for a fact. The little boy he had met at the orphanage was now the young teammate he had, in a way, come to respect. They had come so close to losing him, but they didn't. Despite how the Flash sometimes annoyed him, the truth was he would be devastated if he had died, all of them would. He sighed lightly and moved out of the infirmary once he was certain that all the monitors were working correctly. Flash slept on, knowing that he could now wake up whenever he wanted, knowing he was going to be fine and knowing that each one of his teammates…no, his friends cared as deeply for him as he did.

It was good to be back.
