"Are you alright?" J'onn asked, us still standing in the alley.

I just nodded my head in the crook of his neck. I was still clinging to him for dear life, acting like that if I let go, I would surely die.

Reluctantly, he raised his arms and wrapped them around me. 'I'm so glad you're okay.' He thought, sighing slightly in relief.

"I'm…I'm..." I murmured, not quite finishing my sentence.

"Hey! Hey let go of her!" A random stranger yelled as he stalked toward the alley.

The moment I heard that, I let go of J'onn, and met the man face to face. "Back off before I make you off." My voice was raw, and I'm pretty sure frightened the poor guy.

"I was just trying to help-"

"Don't. Because I'm a thousand times safer with him than I am with you." He just stood there frozen because he had no idea what to do. "This is where you walk away." When he stayed in place, I physically turned him around and pushed him away.

"That wasn't necessary." J'onn said, shaking his head at my forcefulness.

"Of course it was." I tried to reason with him. "And J'onn, I'm-"

A small smile appeared on his face. "You don't have to say it, Andi."

"But I want to. I'm really sorry, J'onn. I never should have gotten upset with you, because you were just protecting me. And now I understand that you'll never stop protecting me, even if we haven't talked for a year." I barely chuckled. "You're always going to be there for me, aren't you?"

"If you want me to be, I shall."

I smiled. "I would be honored."

This time, J'onn was the one that hugged me. "I missed you."

I have to admit, I got a little teary eyed. "You shouldn't say that." I lightly joked. "A hundred years from now you're going to be sick of me." I teased.

"Never." I heard the smile in his voice.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~

"You guys made up!" Wally cheered when he saw J'onn and I appear. J'onn set me down and Wally ran at us. "Group hug!"

After a few seconds, I said, "Wally, I think we're good."

He shook his head. "Nope, a little longer."

A few more seconds later, "Wally." J'onn warned.

"Yeah, we're good." He said sheepishly as he let us go. "I'm very happy for you both." He said monotonously.

"Don't sound so excited, Wally."

"Well I tried to sound excited, but you guys-"

I smiled and shook my head. "Let it go, Wally. Let it go."

"So when did this happen?"

J'onn raised an eyebrow. "When did what happen?"

"This! When did you guys make up? How? WHY!" He was starting to get hysterical.

"About five minutes ago, I was in danger-"

"You get in that a lot don't you?"

"Yeah, we know…Right, I was in danger, and J'onn came to save me. End of story."

He was about to call my semi-bluff, when a screech came from upstairs. "Wallace Rudolph West!"

My mouth was agape as I shook my head. "You didn't."

"I had to!" He defended himself.

I pointed a finger at him accusingly. "You are in such big trouble." I turned my head slightly. "J'onn you have to change. I don't care into what, but you have to change."

"Wallace!"

"Now, J'onn!"

"There you are!" Linda Park stomped down the stairs seconds later. "Where have you been?" Her green dress shirt was clashing with her red face. "Hey, Andi."

"Hi, Linda."

She stopped her rampage and stared at J'onn. "Have we met?"

'Tony' looked back at her and gave her a small smile. "No. I'm Tony Stark." He extended his hand and she shook it.

"Linda Park." After the handshake concluded, she turned back to Wally. "Wallace, why are you here?"

"I could ask you the same thing." He mumbled.

Her face blended into an even deeper shade of red. "I found something under our bed this morning."

Wally grew pale. "Oh?"

Linda pulled out his spare Flash mask. "Care to explain this, Wally? Or should I just call you Flash?"

Wally was frozen; he had no idea how to deal with this.

"Actually, Linda," I interjected. Oh stupid, stupid, stupid, Andi. "That's mine."

She turned to me and raised an eyebrow. "This is your mask?"

"Yes."

She shook her head. "If this is your mask, then why is the Flash that I often interview a man and not a woman?"

Good question. "I have this hologram watch. I can look like anybody with just a touch of a button." I put my arm behind my back, and teleported that little present Xavier gave me last year into my hand.

Linda crossed her arms over her chest. "Prove it."

I pulled the watch out, fastened it to my wrist, pushed a few buttons, and ended up a foot taller with flaming red hair atop my head. "See?" I even mimicked Wally's voice.

"You used his face?" And now she's upset.

"Yes."

"Did you even consider what would happen if his identity got out?"

"I didn't-"

"No." She said sternly. "You didn't." Linda threw the mask at me. "Stay away from him."

"Linda," Wally started gaining some of his confidence back.

But she blew up at him. "No, Wally! Do you know what could've happened to you if she was unmasked while looking like that? Your-"

"It's my mask, Linda!" He finally shouted at her. "It's MINE! I'm the Flash!"

She gave him a hard stare. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I was afraid you'd react like this!" Wally yelled.

"Act like what?" Linda screamed back.

"Like you're on crazy pills or something! You've never gotten angry at the Flash for doing something dangerous, a little annoyed, yes, but never mad."

"Well up until now, the Flash wasn't my husband! Nor did he spend all of his time away from his wife with a young girl!" She turned to me, finding that I had gone back to my original appearance.

"I'm nineteen Linda. Girl, yes. But young?" I shook my head a little. "Not so much."

"Stay out of this!" They both yelled at me.

I rolled my eyes and turned to 'Tony'. "You want some Oreos?"

J'onn shrugged and nodded his head. "Sure."

I led him upstairs, leaving the 'happy couple' to bicker between themselves.
