(*still hiding from angry mob*) he-hey g-guys. Long time no see. (*Runs screaming*) Sorry it took so long to update I went camping for the weekend and it seemed my muse for this story went on vacation for awhile and I had no inspiration, and I was also writing Date Night (shameless self advertising, I know) Well I'm pretty sure none of you are reading the rest of this note so on with the story…
I'm still too young to own YJ

Once Abby had gotten more clothes Wally introduced her to her Great aunt and uncle. He was going to also introduce her to the rest of the team but Kaldur and Raquel went back to their cities, there was an emergency in Star City that GA and Canary had to take care of, Roy had to go back home to make sure his teen daughter didn't get into much trouble, and M'gann and Conner had to go pick up their kids from the Kents. She was really excited to find out she had more family but she still couldn't stop worrying about her mother who lay in a hospital bed in a coma.
Wally still had a few things to set straight like taking vacation leave from work so he didn't have any distractions from spending time with his daughter, he had a lot of catching up to do. It was also decided if Artemis didn't wake up by the end of the week then they would have to call Paula and tell her about her daughter and granddaughter. The speedster was still debating on how to tell his parents about his daughter.
When he came back later that night he found Abby asleep in the chair next to her mother's bed, he picked her up and lightly laid her on Artemis's old bed. He gently kissed her on the forehead and pulled the light green covers on top of her. Once the speedster said his finial goodnight to his daughter he closed the door and went back to the Med Bay to watch Artemis.

The next morning Abby woke up uncharitably early. Curiosity took over as she looked around her Mom's old room; she found a dusty old scrapbook in one of the drawers next to an old camera. She sat on the bed and looked through the pages full of pictures. Most of them were of her mom and someone she assumed to be her dad, and then there were a few with Aunt Zee also some with some others like a small boy dressed as the first robin, a green girl, a guy with gills and someone that looked almost like superman. She finally figured out that these others were also her mother's teammates. The redheaded teen stood up when the smell of bacon hit her nose and she followed the delicious smell to the kitchen with the scrapbook under her arm.
When she arrived in the kitchen she found a man dressed in black wearing a domino mask frying eggs and bacon. She set the book on the counter and loomed over to get a better look of the mini feast.
Nightwing noticing her presence grinned and piled a speedster sized helping on her plate. "Want some breakfast?" he asked already knowing the answer (like father like daughter)
"Sure." She said grabbing the heaping plate and started consuming the meal.
"Slow down there kid, it's not a race." The former boy wonder warned wondering how all speedsters ate so fast without choking.
"Sorry." She slowed down and ate like a normal person.
Nightwing started chuckling, "It's ok, being your father's best friend I'm used to it." Abby was still gobbling up the rest of her bacon. He noticed the dusty old scrapbook next to her on the counter.
"Where did you find this?" he asked picking up the book.
"I found it in my Mom's desk." She responded finishing her meal in record time.
"Hey do you want to know the back story behind all of these photos, I was there for most of them." He said grinning mischievously.
"You do?" she said perking up; maybe she will finally get some answers about both of her parent's pasts.

After learning a few stories behind some of the pictures Abby was rolling on the floor with laughter.
"So what happened in this picture?" She pointed to a photo of her mother covered in goo pointing her bow at a running Kid Flash.
Dick almost fell on the floor with laughter when he remembered that little incident.
"Lets just say Wally learned a valuable lesson that day."
Abby smiled and turned to the next picture showing Kid Flash stuck to a wall and her mother eating ice-cream in front of him, the poor speedster wore a pained expression. "What about this one?" she asked
"That was Artemis's revenge, after that little event your father had a healthy fear of your mother for a while even though he won't admit it." The protector of Budhaven chuckled.
At that moment a pajama clad Wally ran into the room still looking half asleep, he was curious to see what Dick and his daughter were laughing about. They were both bent over a book laughing and pointing at pictures.
"Hey what are you laughing at?" he asked and ran over to see that they were looking at a picture of him glued to a wall and a certain archer eating ice cream in front of him. The Flash winced at that painful memory; never again will he throw goop on Artemis as a prank.
"My mom really did this to you, I thought you guys liked each other." Abby asked between fits of laughter.
"Well not at first, we hated each other for a year or two then not so much I guess. Hey who took this picture I didn't think anyone else was there besides Arty!" He wondered and turned to give the probable suspect (cough*Nightwing*cough) a pointed look.
"Kodak moment?" he defended
"Bats." Wally murmured under his breath receiving a confused gaze from his daughter and Dick went into the kitchen and came back with another speedster sized helping of breakfast for his best friend.

After breakfast Abby and Wally still checked on Artemis, she was still comatose.
Wally decided to take his daughter shopping for running shoes because she mentioned her last pair was ruined and he had no idea of what else to do. They were strolling down the sneaker isle at the Happy Harbor athletics store.
"Thanks for buying me new shoes." Abby thanked her father.
"Oh no problem, you need shoes so it's nothing. Maybe we can go running later." He suggested.
Abby perked up at the mention of one of her favorite things. "I'd love that, are we going running or running?"
"Well I want to see how fast you can go, plus I know this great fish taco shack in California, maybe we can go eat lunch there." He said with a grin as they walked to the back of the checkout lane with three boxes of tennis shoes.
"That would be fantastic, I love tacos." She exclaimed excitedly.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
After dropping the two extra pair of shoes off at the cave both daughter and father zoomed off to go get tacos.
"You're quite the runner." Wally complemented Abby after discreetly arriving at the fish taco truck, never had he ever been prouder in his life as he ran beside his daughter.
"Thanks, I've always wanted to do track but I guess it wouldn't be fair, but I love running." She said sheepishly as she used her fingers to comb her wild orange windblown hair back into a tight ponytail.
Once they each finished their multiple tacos, Wally decided that it would be best to take Abby to meet his parents. If his mother found out before he told her she would have his neck.
"So where are we going now?" The teen asked after finishing off her fries.
"I'm going to take you to meet my parents. They'll love to meet you." He said gently wondering what he was exactly going to say to his mother and father.

As they arrived to Keystone City Wally slowed down in front of a house on the outskirts of the Midwest City.
"Stay behind my while I get the door."
"Ok." Abby replied nervously remembering her encounter with her other grandpa.
The older speedster gulped nervously and rang the doorbell. Usually he would just walk right in but this wasn't a usual visit.
The door opened to reveal his mother; she looked surprised to see her son. (She didn't yet notice the teen standing behind him)
"Wally, it's good to see you. Come in.," she said to her only son.
"Hey mom, there's someone I'd like you and dad to meet." He said and ushered Abby inside.
Both his parents look shocked to see the red-haired, green eyed, freckle covered girl standing next to their son.
Wally cleared his throat. "Mom, Dad. I'd like you to meet my daughter…Abby."
Mary West fainted and his father's eyes were wide with shock as he caught his wife.
"Son did you say what I just thought you said?" he asked wondering if he heard him right.
"Yes, but before you freak out I only found out about this a day ago." He said wrapping his arm around his daughter.
His mother came to and asked, "Who's her mother?"
"Artemis." Abby said slightly pained with the mention of her mother.
With that both new grandparents enveloped their granddaughter in a hug.
