Chapter 2

Recognize it? Don't own it. Something you don't recognize and I haven't explained? Ask me.

Barry scooped up Felicity and ran her to Star Labs, into the cortex. The boy was on a stretcher in the middle of it. Her hand went up to her face, and then she ran to him, much to everybody's puzzlement. "Wally." He heard her whisper. He ran back and brought Roy and Laurel down, and they walked over to Felicity, hanging back, giving her space with the comatose boy. Barry realized he was about the same age as Felicity. "Wally." He heard her say in a stronger voice. "Wallace West I need you to wake up right now." She said to the comatose boy. Barry was confused. How did she know him? And why was his last name the same as Iris's? "You can not come back from the dead only to go into a coma!" She said, her voice rising.

Roy glanced at Laurel. "Call the others." He whispered to her.

"I'll take the girls." She said. They started calling people, and he heard enough snippets to know that they were telling them to come to Star Labs as fast as possible. The first person to arrive was a girl who had green skin and floated gracefully through the roof. Well, she did until she saw the boy. Then she fell with a gasp. Two others quickly joined them. Barry did a double take when a guy who looked like an exact copy of an older Roy came running through the doors. He was even more confused when the guy with gills came in. Both of them had about the same reaction as the green girl. Felicity was the only one who was next to the boy though.

"Wake up Wally. I have never stopped loving you. If you can come back from being vaporized, you can wake up from a coma." She squeezed his hand tightly. "Please." She begged. The green girl walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Artemis-" she began but what cut off by Felicity. "He can't do this to me." She said, looking up at her, desperation in her eyes. "He can't come back from the dead than not wake up. He can't do this to me!" Felicity said, close to shouting now. Barry was more confused than ever now. Who was Artemis? And who was this boy? "Just do it for me Baywatch." She said, expressing once more how familiar she was with the boy. "If you won't do it for yourself then do it for me." She sat and watched him. Just sat there. Caitlin was the first to excuse herself. Then Cisco left, and eventually only the newcomers, Roy, Laurel, and Felicity were left in the cortex.

Artemis sat there, holding Wally's hand. How was this fair? He had come back to her, only to be in a coma. Finally she just laid her head on his hand, and cried. She felt his hand stir. She looked up suddenly, and everybody else in the room was suddenly paying razor sharp attention. Wally stirred again, and his eyes opened a sliver. Artemis's breath caught in her throat. Was he really awake? Was he really alive.

"Artie?" He croaked, as he became more aware. Artemis hugged him fiercely as he tried to sit up.

"You're alive." She sobbed, hugging him.

"What happened?" She heard him ask, but she didn't care. He was alive, and nothing else mattered more at the moment.

She turned to M'gann. "I blew my cover, I know I shouldn't ask this, but can you…" Artemis trailed off, feeling ashamed.

"Of course." M'gann said, and she started concentrating on removing today from the memories of the Star Labs crew.

Conner walked over. "I'll take him to the old base." He said, picking him up.

"I can carry you there." M'gann said, turning to her. "Everybody else, you have ten minutes before the Star Labs crew wakes up, so get out, and meet us at the mountain."

Conner had caught Wally up as he flew him there, so now Wally knew that he had been vaporized. Artemis had been thankful for that, because that would have been a very hard and confusing conversation. Wally now understood that anybody who was still active had to hide, only one or two of the people that were on the Young Justice team were still active, and Artemis was living in Starling now, as a hacker/ IT girl named Felicity. What had shocked him the most though, was that everybody thought he had been dead for eight years. To him, those eight years felt like he had taken a really long nap. When he had woken up to Artemis hugging him, he was confused, but happy that his girlfriend was hugging him.

Now he was at the base, which had been abandoned, and sitting and talking with Artemis, who hadn't dated anybody else while he was away. It had been a week, and Artemis had called in sick at work. She looked nervous though. Every time there was a noise from another room she would jump and glance over her shoulder at it. Finally Wally got fed up with it. "What's bothering you so much Artie?" He asked her. "You jump at any small noise from another room, and it's like you're constantly looking over your shoulder!"

"I'm afraid of Oliver and Diggle finding me." she confessed. Then she told him about team arrow, and how Oliver was overprotective of her and harboring a small crush on her. They had considered dating at one point, but Oliver was afraid that his business as the Arrow would harm her. She hadn't pushed, because she was still in love with Wally. They hadn't pursued any relationship sense, even though she knew Oliver wanted too.

Wally was silent after that. Finally he looked up at her. "What am I going to do now? I'm not supposed to be alive, and I have nowhere to go. I can't stay here, it's abandoned. I can't stay with any of you, because it would be hard to explain my mysterious resurrection."

"I am the second best hacker in the world now, next to Dick. I can erase you from the internet entirely. The Justice League kept your disappearance quiet, so there was never a big news story. And besides, nobody could ever catch you. After all, you have a 50% chance of being the fastest person alive." Wally blinked at this. He was the fastest person alive, unless…

"Who else is there?" He asked looking at her.

Artemis blushed. "There's a guy in Central City named Barry Allen, he got struck by lightning and became a speedster. Be both saw some potential relationship wise, but we both already had our hearts set on somebody else."

"I'll come live with you, as long as this Oliver guy doesn't find out about me." Wally said, happy that he would get to live with his girlfriend.

Artemis sighed. "He will at some point, he is to stubborn not to, but I will put that off as long as possible. What do you want your name to be, so he doesn't find you at all if we missed something."

Wally pondered the thought. "Can my last name be Quick?" Artemis sighed. She should of seen that coming.

"As long as you don't make jokes about it."

"Then I'll be Wally Quick." He decided. "I'm sure that there are other people named Wally that have red hair, so I won't change my first name. That way it wouldn't be odd if I reacted to Wally." he explained, seeing Artemis about to reject it. "Let's go to Starling City!" he announced, standing up and speeding Artemis and him to her apartment.

I hope you enjoyed it- these are still chapters I had prewritten. Bye!
