Wally felt the pain as ice engulfed his body, freezing over him in what felt like hours, as he cried out in pain.
Only for silence to suddenly engulf him as he was covered in the clear and cold substance.
Great going Kid Dork, Wally thought as he tried to stay calm inside his ice cube. Kid Popsicle can't help anyone.
Normally he would just vibrate until the ice around him exploded, but with so many people nearby a piece of it would probably hit them or Cold would just hit one of them to keep Wally occupied and he knew for a fact that not many people recovered from Cold's gun, at least not fully.
Trying to focus on something other than how hard breathing was beginning to get, he slowly, moved his eyes, the one part of him that could move, to see Cold walking towards a fighting Ethan and Artemis.
A part of him was happy about the argument, even though he knew he shouldn't be, but that feeling was overcome by fear as he watched Cold advance on the pair.
He felt his eyes widen slightly and his body speed up.
No, no, no, he thought wildly. Why didn't she run? Why didn't he take her away from here?
Because, Wally answered himself, Artemis is as stubborn as they get and wouldn't just leave a teammate behind.
Gritting his teeth slightly he tried to calm down, by now he could feel his whole body going numb, well number, and breathing was becoming difficult as the ice continued to work it's unwanted magic.
He looked over at Artemis, whose eyes were side with fear as she stood alone, Ethan had since run away, giving up on her and deciding to save himself.
Lucky for him Cold decided to settle on Artemis as a hostage, however Wally had a feeling he was going to wish he was an Ethan-sicle after Artemis was done with him.
Wally closed his eyes and began vibrating slowly, normal he'd go faster, but with so many people any faster and the ice would explode impaling people and things as frozen glass.
His head broke through first and he gulped in much needed oxygen as he tried to clear his mind.
After his mind had lost the fuzziness from lack of air, Wally shouted, "yo Cold!" Wally watched amused as the ice villain turned on instinct. He made eye contact with Artemis, who after working with him so long realized what he was going to do and she nodded, tensing.
Wally forced a smile, ignoring the pain that he still felt, as he broke away from the rest of the ice.
"Surprise!" Ramming into Cold he smiled broadly as he tripped over Artemis, who was down on her hands and knees. Smiling the youngest speedster laughed, "Learned it in Kindergarten eleven years later and people still fall for it."
He reached out a hand towards Artemis and after a moment's hesitation she took it and he pulled her up.
"You okay there Beautiful?" Wally asked winking, putting on a show for everyone else. After all he was Kid Flash he flirted with every female he saved, given they weren't married or related to him. That's all he was doing covering his tracks he didn't really like the girl in front of him, or at least that's what he told himself.
"Huh? Oh ya I'm great, thanks for um….you know….." Artemis trailed off, her cheeks bright red as she fiddled with her hair, suddenly feeling very self conscious.
Wally's smile grew, "saving your life? No problem all in a days—"Wally suddenly felt pain catch up with him and he stumbled gasping as it rocketed through his body.
I need food, Wally thought in his daze. I need fuel. Not that he could tell anyone that, he could barely stand. He had used the last of his energy saving Artemis from Cold and had been running on adrenaline for who knew how long, it had finally caught up to him. Finally taking it's toll, and in this case it wasn't money, but his life.
Artemis caught him as he stumbled, "Wal—Kid?" Artemis asked panicky. "Kid Flash are you okay? Kid?"
Wally's eyes started to slide shut as Artemis's face blurred in front of him. He smiled slightly.
She's cute when she's nervous, he decided, before slipping into blackness.
Artemis panicked as Wally, no Kid Flash; he was Kid Flash right now, not Wally, stumbled and fell into her arms, eyes glazing over as he fainted.
Eyes wide Artemis screamed, "Somebody call an Ambulance!"
"Artemis!" A voice broke through the crowd and she gritted her teeth, she didn't want to see him anymore.
Turning she saw Ethan running towards her, "Are you okay?"
"Like you care," she snarled, before turning back towards the unconscious hero in front of her.
"Wh-what happened to him?" Ethan stuttered staring at the red head lying on the ground.
"Maybe if you hadn't run off like a chicken from a fox you'd know," She growled and went back to tending Wally.
Mumbling to herself as played with his glove until one of cupboards opened, empty.
She glared at the empty space before turning to Ethan, "you have any food?"
Ethan shook his head.
"Then you're useless," she really didn't want anything to do with her soon to be ex-boyfriend.
"Artemis listen I'm sorry I ran, I was scared I thought you were behind me I—"
"Save it," the blond snapped turning back towards her teammate. If she could get his communicator without taking off his mask then maybe she could contact Flash.
Taking out a small pocket knife she began cutting free the red lightning bolts covering his ears.
"Why couldn't you have a mask like everyone else's on the Team," she mumbled to herself. "Than your ears would be so much easier to reach."
She knew the answer, Wally had explained once, something about it making it easier to hear at 100 mile per hour winds or what not, she didn't care then, she didn't care now.
Forcing free the piece of his costume Artemis grabbed the communicator out of his ear, normally she'd use hers however seeing as hers was probably melting in a pit of lava that wasn't possible. (Long story don't ask)
Pushing the button she talked into it quickly, "Flash hello? Anyone Flash?"
"This is a private channel who is this and why—" Flash's voice came over the speaker, but Artemis cut him off.
"Oh save it for Batman," she growled and Flash seemed to register the voice.
"Oh Greenie it's you."
Artemis nearly face palmed and looked at Ethan as he arched an eyebrow, "I'm sorry you must have me confused." She lied smoothly. "I'm just a civilian."
"Well in that case Civilian what are you doing this better not be a prank call again." Despite the situation Artemis smiled slightly, Flash had a way of making people do that.
She shook her head and said, "no I'm sitting next to Kid Flash on the corner of Main Street, he's unconscious and—"
That was as far as she got before there was a beep and Flash was next to her.
"That was fast," she said dumbly as she tossed him the communicator.
"Fastest Man Alive," Flash said half heartedly before kneeling next to Wally.
"Kid?" He said shaking him softly. "Hey bud you need to wake up."
Nothing just silence, the only movement from Wally was him shivering from the side effects of being a human popsicle.
"You have any food."
Artemis gave him a look that said, do I look like an idiot.
"Right you don't okay then." Flash bit his lip and chewing it nervously for a second picked up his nephew gave Artemis a nod and ran off mumbling something about Batman, and him being able to help.
Leaving Artemis to face Ethan, she turned, but before she could say anything Ethan was talking quickly.
"Listen Artemis I didn't mean to look like a coward," his eyes shot to the floor and he shuffled his feet nervously. "But I know I did, and I can understand if you want to—"He trailed off and Artemis looked at him.
Biting her lip she thought for a moment, if she had been in Ethan's place, untrained and defenseless would she have run? As much as she hated to admit it, the answer was yes.
Artemis sighed, and giving one last look in the direction Flash ran off in pulled Ethan into a tight hug.
Shocked Ethan laughed nervously, "so does this mean we're good or is this a good-bye hug?"
Artemis closed her eyes it sounded so much like something Wally would say.
"We're good," but the words were hollow to her now, empty. She didn't mean them like she once had, but the boy she truly loved didn't love her back, so she hung onto what she had.
"Thanks Beautiful."
Artemis's eyes squeezed tighter as she tried not to cry, as the words again reminded her of a love she couldn't have.
*smiles evilly* I'm so evil, all of you guys were so excited about her breaking up with Ethan, but he's still with her!
Although she really doesn't love him as much, she's just scared to say good-bye.
She doesn't want to give Wally that kind of material to tease her with, even though he wouldn't, so she stays with Ethan.
Besides he's a civilian can you blame him for running?
I mean if Cold came at me with a gun I'd sure as heck run!
*giggles* That rhymed XD
Also sorry about the late update, I blame the end of school projects and of course my own procrastination *shrugs*
Next chapter is the last one so I lied three shot XD
UP NEXT: Frozen Part 3
Summary: The third part of this story XD (I'm so clever)
"You care for her a lot don't you," it wasn't a question and Wally's eyes found sudden interest in the cot he was lying one.
"Ya she's a good teammate I guess," Wally mumbled playing with the sheets that covered him.
Barry arched an eyebrow, "teammate?" He asked and Wally winced.
"Friend?" He tried before seeing the disbelieving eyes of his uncle and hung his head. "I like her Uncle Barry a lot, I care for her a lot. During the training exercise when I thought," Wally choked and silently wondered how this had turned into a heart to heart about his love life. "I thought I had lost her, I had lost her before I got to tell her."
