Chapter 1

If you recognize it I don't own it. If something isn't cannon for either series and I don't explain, please tell me and I'll explain asap.

AN: There is no Jay Garrick, Bart Allen, or any other speedster but Barry and the Reverse Flash my universe. Spoilers for Young Justice, seasons one and two of Arrow, and season one of Flash are present. The wormhole never happened, Eobard Thawne is locked up, Ronnie and Eddie are alive. NO ZOOM OR EARTH TWO!

Artemis entered the "Arrow Cave" as she liked to call it, to see Oliver and Roy sparring. The situation itself was hilarious. Oliver had no clue what the extent of Roy's abilities were, and was holding back. Roy, on the other hand, would beat Oliver easily, so he was holding back to cover up his abilities. Artemis had urgent news for Roy though, and needed to get Oliver and Diggle out so she could sneak Dinah in and talk to them alone. The computer beeped. Perfect.

"Oliver, there is a massive shooting on the other side of town. I know that you usually deal with crimes once they've been committed, because you can't be there as fast as Barry, but," Artemis said looking up, "you could still make a difference."

"Okay." Oliver responded, grabbing his bow and Arrow outfit. "Roy-"

"Actually I need Roy here." Artemis interrupted, knowing Roy would follow her lead. "Take Diggle instead, Roy asked me for help with his phone, and I need him here to do it." She said, making an excuse quickly. She wished she was better at them, because she could tell Oliver didn't believe her. He looked to Diggle.

"Do you have a hoodie you could use?" He asked, taking Diggle up to the crowded floor of Verdant.

As soon as they left, Dinah came down. "Why did you call me?" She asked, making her way down the stairs.

"Two reasons." Artemis said, getting up from her seat. "One, I met a speedster that has powers just like Wally did, and I wanted to give you guys a heads up before you see him on the news. And two," Artemis said, walking over to Oliver's spare bow, "I had an itch to spar, something I can do if Oliver and Diggle are on the other side of town, and if we have a private space. I figured you would want to," she said turning to Roy, "with how you've had to hold back with Oliver. And," she said turning back to Dinah "I thought you might have some fun doing it too."

Roy and Dinah exchanged a glance. "I'm in." Roy said, grabbing his own bow.

"Why not?" Dinah said with a shrug. "Two problems though… I don't have a suit, and my Canary Cry would bring the roof down.

"No problem." Artemis said, tossing Dinah a spare of her old Black Canary suit. "I thought one of us would come up with this idea at some point, so I got the room reinforced, sound proofed, and stashed spare suits for all of us here." she said proudly with a grin. They changed, then walked to the center of the room.

Artemis rested at home, completely wiped. It was week after sparring with Black Canary and Arsenal, which is how she thought of them when they were in uniform, and she had just gotten back from the anniversary. Her phone rang. She looked at the number and groaned. Why would Barry be calling her now? "If this isn't a good reason, then I will make your life misery for waking me up at midnight!"

"Felicity, we need you to ID somebody. I was running, and I entered something that called itself the speed force. It apparently powers all speedsters. Anyways, it thanked me for reopening the door to the outside world, and suddenly I was on the ground, and there was a guy unconscious next to me." It was Barry. I opened my laptop, fully awake now.

"I need a picture of their face, no hair covering it please."

"Ok." Barry replied. "I'll call you when I get something." Artemis hung up, and called Roy.

"Hey, I was wondering if you're still up. I needed to talk to somebody, not as Felicity, the IT girl who should be asleep, but as Artemis, the grieving girlfriend of a guy who died eight years ago today."

"Should I come down? I could tell you were trying to stay strong in front of the team today, but it's ok to cry."

"I would like that." Artemis said, relieved that someone understood that the pain wasn't dulled, no matter how much time went by. "See you in a few." She hung up, and heard her phone ding. That must be Barry. She thought. She looked at the text. 'Here's the guy we found.' It said, but Artemis didn't even read it. She was staring at the picture. She dropped her phone, and the screen shattered, sending glass shards all over her kitchen. Artemis sank to her knees, staring at the now dark screen of her phone.

Roy reached Artemis's apartment, and knocked. No answer. He tried again. Still nothing. He tried the handle, but it was locked. "Felicity?" He yelled into the apartment, using her fake name in case she had company. He heard whimpering. He got panicked. "If you don't answer in ten seconds, I'm going to come in on my own!" He called, giving her fair warning. When nothing happened, he kicked the door in, and noticed a glass shard on the tile in front of him. He rushed in, and saw Artemis staring at the floor blankly in the kitchen, her phone dropped in front of her. "Artemis!" He said running over to her. "Are you alright?" He said coming down next to her. She looked at him. Then she seemed to snap back into the real world. She suddenly pushed herself as far away from the fallen phone as possible, and pointed a trembling finger at it.

"Barry wanted me to run a face they found a guy unconscious and I said I would and he texted me and he told me a crazy story and I thought he was crazy but I'm crazy and that's not real and -"

"Ssh." Roy said taking her hand. "Should I look at the phone?" She just kept staring at it, seemingly in shock again.

She managed a small nod. "Call Aunt Dinah." she whispered as he turned it on. But his hand was already flying to his phone when he saw the face on the screen.

"Dinah we need you now." Roy said as soon as she picked up the phone. "Artemis is in a state of shock, I'm about to be, and she has also reverted to calling you Aunt Dinah. I'm sending the picture to you now, but first I need you to call Star Labs and tell them that the Flash needs to be outside the door of Felicity Smoak in fifteen minutes." Dinah frowned. What could- her thoughts were interrupted by the dinging of her phone and Roy hung up and texted her the photo. She nearly dropped her phone.

"Are you ok sweetie?" Her father asked her as she grabbed her jacket. "Don't follow me I may not be in the office tomorrow." She said as she sprinted out of the precinct where she had been visiting her father. As she scaled rooftops and leaped between buildings, she looked at her phone again, at the unconscious face of Wally West, a boy who had been dead for eight years.

Roy heard the window open and Dinah drop in. "When was this taken?" She demanded, showing Roy the picture.

"About a half hour ago." He responded. Artemis was sitting at the table, not in shock anymore. She gave Dinah a rundown of what Barry had told her. They saw Barry run into the room.

"Take us to him." Artemis said, looking at him.

"He's comatose, he can't say anything-" Barry began.

"NOW!" Artemis yelled, and Barry, shocked by seeing his friend with a violent side, complied.

If you don't have anything nice to say... nevermind I sound like a nagging relative. Ok, so I hope you liked it. The only criticism allowed is the constructive type, but it is welcomed. Bye for now!
