Artemis sat leaning against the shipping container with her hand reaching across to hold her hip.

Her vision was blurry but she could make out the figure of someone in the distance.

She then heard the faint sound of them saying "guys they're over here"

As the person came closer the image came into focus, it was m'gann.

Artemis was relieved to see the familiar face,

"Hang in there Artemis" m'gann said.

The archer hated being treated like this and argued that she was fine but the team had to take precautions.

Superboy soon came over, picked her up and carried her to a stretcher on the bioship.

The same was done for Wally who was put down on a stretcher beside Artemis. She glanced over to see his unconscious, lifeless body.

She would be lying if she said she wasn't worried.

On arrival back at the mountain Artemis was checked out by black canary and looked to have some bone bruising on the right side of her body which she had taped up.

But there seemed to be no explanation for Wally's condition, he was perfectly healthy, it was like he had been knocked out but there were no physical injuries to justify this. Both of them were taken to the medical bay for the night in the hope that Artemis would recover and Wally would wake up.


It was almost 2:00 am that night but Artemis couldn't sleep. As she had many times before she went to lay on the couch by the fire, this time limping from the medical bay.

Artemis finally found comfort, but almost on cue someone was walking down the hall to disturb her.

Wally, alive and well, froze as he saw Artemis staring back at him from the couch.

"do you just wait here to judge me?" he asked

"No! And seriously you're not even going to ask what happened?" she replied

"Well I'm assuming it was my fault and you're going to abuse me, so no"

"You really don't remember anything?" She asked again

"Should I?" he questioned

Artemis lost it "Wally! You just collapsed! And then this girl with magical powers threw me into a shipping container for god's sake"

Wally didn't know what to say "maybe all you're criticism on my eating meant I had depleted energy stores and that's why I collapsed"

Artemis was furious "oh please I know there's something going on"

Wally replied "what are you talking about?"

"The girl, She knew your name! You're real name!

"You were probably just hearing things or maybe she heard one of us say it" Wally pleaded.

Artemis couldn't take it anymore, she got up and looked at him "I'm not going to forget this" she snarled before heading back to her own room.


The next morning Batman heard of Wally's awakening and approached him in the kitchen.

"Kid flash combat room now" he said.

Wally swiftly followed the orders.

Once there he was shown a bunch of targets and dummies "show me this new ability" Batman said.

Although a bit reluctant Wally moved into a blur for around five seconds before becoming still.

He focused on a target and lifted his right arm.

He took a deep breath and then a streak of electricity escaped his hand.

The target was left with smoke coming off it.

Batman stood silent before saying "dismissed" turning and walking out the door.


While this was going on artemis decided she was going to get to the bottom of the mystery.

She found robin in the computer room typing all sorts of codes.

"Hey robin" she said

"Artemis how are you feeling" his eyes didn't leave the screen.

"Never been better" she replied

"And what brings you here?" Robin asked

Artemis took a deep breath "okay don't tell anyone I told you this but you know that girl I told you and the team about, the one that attacked me last night? well… she knew Wally's secret identity"

Robin looked up at her "interesting, and?"

"Well I was just wondering if you knew who this might be, you know, being Wally's best friend and all"

Robin turned his chair to face Artemis "let's see, a villain or thug who knows Wally's real name. It's unlikely they were a villain when they found out his identity so they probably knew him personally before becoming a criminal"

Artemis had to admit, robin was extremely intelligent "So ah, do you think you might know who it is" she asked

"Before I say anything more, this is strictly for the well-being of the team, right?

"Of course" Artemis replied

"Okay because I may be betraying Wally's trust by telling you this, but if it's for the greater good I suppose it's the right thing to do" robin was reluctant but decided to close the door to the computer room.

"Well… there is one person I can think of with… that… potential, Wally did have a girlfriend, it was some friend that he had known his whole life who he apparently started dating."

"I'm not certain on the whole story but something bad definitely happened a couple of years ago, No one saw them together again after that" robin looked at the ground "to be completely honest with you, I don't think Wally has ever been the same"

Artemis was shocked by the story, she really had no idea that this had even happened.

"Do you know who she was or what she looked like" She asked

Robin searched his memory "not clear on the name but I did see them together once sitting on a park bench in Gotham, possibly a pale face, dark eyes, oh and of course… her hair was almost pink coloured."

Artemis was starting to become even more interested, she felt a theory starting to form, she just needed to prove it.

She turned to robin, he almost looked guilty, like he had betrayed Wally "thanks robin" Artemis said

"I've been avoiding this for too long" Robin said "I didn't want to get involved but hopefully you can shed some light on the whole thing."

Artemis Walked out of the small, dark room. She had work to do.
