North Pole
June 27, 19:23 EST
A man in his 30's laid at our feet. He wore the iconic Flash symbol but the color scheme was yellow and red, the same as the legendary Kid Flash.
His suit was too small for him and it was torn in various places. His red hair was still as short as it was the day he disappeared. He was barely conscious as we hovered over him.
"Dad?" Wally asked astounded that he was even there in front of him.
I crouched down and took a small light out of my polar stealth spandex pants. I opened his eyes and shined a light in both of them.
Both of his eyes were nonresponsive.
"Wally, hand me an arrow."
"What!" he yelled. It sounded as though he were in my ear. "You're not killing my dad!"
"Wha- just hand me a damn arrow."
He took an arrow out of his quiver and handed it to me. I put the arrowhead under his nose to see fog on the green metal.
"He breathing," I assured looking up at worried faces.
I gave the arrow back to Wally Jr. as Wally Sr. quickly awakened.
He grabbed my arm, struggling to get up.
"Whoa, calm down," Wally Jr. told the Sr. as I pried his grip off of my arm.
He was breathing heavily when his eyes came to focus on his son.
"Aren't you a little young to be Green Arrow?" he finally spoke.
"Aren't you a little old to be Kid Flash?" he commented to which I pinched his arm for.
He got up and towered over his son then looked at all of us.
He pointed to me, "Zee." Then Wally, "Green Arrow." Then the twins, "Superboy and Miss Martian."
"Sorry Uncle Wally," Malcolm said. "You're thinking about our parents."
He tilted his head like a confused puppy and gave us a perplexed look.
"But you all look like teenagers."
"You were gone for-," I cut Marie off.
"How long do you think you were gone?" I asked.
His looked became even more perplexed as he answered.
"It felt like 5 minutes."
We all shared a look as Marie began again.
"Uncle Wally, it's been 15 years."
I look at Speedy and just blurt out, "You have a son."
He looked wide-eyed, angry that I told him.
"What?"
Ignoring his criticizing look, I pushed him forward.
He looked down at him and smiled.
"No wonder he has such a smart mouth," he scoffed kneeling down. "Your mother is Artemis."
Speedy smiled as 'Kid' Flash hugged his son.
Watchtower
June 27, 20:01 EST
When we stepped out of the Bio-Ship, my mom, dad, Aunt M'gann, Uncle Conner, and Aunt Artemis were waiting for us on the Watchtower.
"Wally!" Auntie Artemis shouted ecstatically as she jumped on Wally and began kissing him uncontrollably.
We all looked away but were happy to see that the family was back together.
I could see that my father was a little teary eyed after seeing his best friend after 15 years. I was going to say something but I wouldn't want to destroy such a beautiful moment.
Blüdhaven
June 28, 00:48 EST
I spent at least two hours getting to know my resurrected Uncle Wally then, I spent the rest of my time on patrol with Marie.
"So what do you think about Uncle Wally?" she asked my out of the blue.
"I mean, he's pretty cool," I replied still leaning on the edge. "He still has to learn some things about 2031."
"At least Wally can stop brooding."
I chuckled at the comment as something shook the streets and a flash of light came to the side of our faces.
I ran to the opposite side of the building where the blast came from. I looked down over the 6 story building to see 5 masked men running into the Blüdhaven Bank.
"Just when the night began to get quiet," I said as I jumped of the side of the building. "Etativel!" I spell casted. It allowed me to levitate down to the ground.
With her super-strength, Marie clapped her hands, creating a gust of wind to put out the fire. We entered the bank stealthily as the men placed a charge on the vault down the hall.
"Roy, we have two minutes," one of them reminded as we hid behind the check desk.
The charge went off and they went inside the vault where Roy scolded the man.
"What did I tell you about using my real name?" he yelled as the other 3 men took stacks of money and put it into duffels as we moved to a wall where we could peek around the corner.
I could hear him get struck with a hard slap which Marie and I both cringed at.
"Be lucky I didn't use my other hand," he threatened.
I peeked around the corner to see the man peel up his mask, spit out blood that had caked in his mouth from the hit and put it back down.
"One minute, Arsenal," another man said, making sure he didn't make the same mistake.
Marie pinched my arm.
"Do you know Arsenal is?" she whispered to me.
"The name sounds familiar," I whispered back. "I think my dad mentioned him being a Cadmus Clone of a Roy Harper, the original Speedy, but it was some time ago."
"Yeah, except Arsenal was the original Roy Harper."
I looked over at her surprised. I can't believe I wouldn't remember something so important.
I tried to stand up but slipped on some stone rubble from the blast.
Damn, I told myself in my head.
I could hear footsteps come towards us.
"We go on 3," I whispered to Marie to which she nodded her head. "1, 2, 3!"
Marie came out from her spot next to me and began to fly. She bombarded into 3 out of 5 men. When she got to the 4th, she was electrocuted to the ground. I was still trying to figure out a spell as I tied up the knocked out guys she pushed.
"Dnuor pu eseht nem."
I turned around to spell cast on the last two guys but when I turned around, one was towering over me.
"A Zee fixation?" he mused taking off his mask to show his blue eyes and messy, long, red hair. "I guess you know who I am then."
He took a gun from the holster on the side of his leg and backed up for distance.
"Ekat sih nug yawa!" I spell casted trying to get his gun away from him. It looked as though a force was pulling the gun away from and pulling him with it.
He let go of the gun and it came flying towards me. I caught it and opened the clip to see nothing inside.
When I looked up, I seen his hand disconnect from the wrist and tentacle-like things come out and shoot at me and the next thing I knew, I was on the ground getting electrocuted. My reaction time was too slow.
But Marie's timing was just right.
She pulled him backwards and threw him up against the wall.
He quickly recovered and charged at her when the last man standing reminded him of that task.
"Arsenal!" he called. "The police are going to be here any minute."
He turned to look at him then back at Marie, torn between the decision to fight and possibly kill the girl for fun or run and be free for a little while longer.
He chose to run.
Marie was about to chase after him when she remembered me.
I was still a little jittery from the jolts of power that went through my body when she asked if I was okay.
"I-I'm fine," I answered trying to get up. She helped me up.
"You know our parents aren't going to be happy about this," she said matter-of-factly.
"I-I know," I jittered leaning on her shoulder. "The police are coming s-so, we should get going."
She picked me up and carried me home and only once or twice did I jitter.
"I hope he didn't give you Turrets," Marie said putting me down at my backdoor.
"I'll be f-fine in the morning," I softly chuckled giving her a reassuring smile.
"Night, Magie."
I waved her off as she flew away.
I took my key out of my boot and unlocked the door. I sighed as my dad was in the kitchen, at the island, on his laptop, waiting for me.
"Hi, D-dad."
"How was patrol?"
I was surprised he got right to the point.
"Good, I guess," I said circling around the bush. "I went with Marie."
I sat across from him at the island, which he smirked at and closed his laptop.
"What happened, Magie?"
"What makes you think something happened?"
"Why did you stutter when you came in the door?"
I froze in a staring contest with him.
"So, Dad," I said with a cracked voice. "You remember the time you told me about that clone of your friend, Roy?"
"I didn't go into great detail with it," he said curiously. "Why?"
I bit my lip trying not to blurt it out but he was giving me a hard glare.
"I seen him and he electrocuted me and he robbed a bank which I don't totally understand because you told me used to be a good guy from what I remember so yeah that happened," I said fast enough to impress the Flash Family.
I guess he heard all the important parts because his hard glare turned into a shocked expression.
"Good talk, Magie," he said with the expression still on his face turning around to get his phone.
I took off my still torn blazer as I walked out of the kitchen, worried.
I went up to my room and changed out of my so-called 'Zatanna Fixation' and into my pajama with a spell.
I lay in my bed and looked at the time.
2:36 Am was on the clock. I couldn't stop worrying about was going to happen now that my dad knew what Roy's actions were so… bad.
