Flash

Last thing I remember was talking with GA, then BAM! A flash of light and suddenly I'm watching a 19 year old Wally walk through the streets of Centeral City in a jacket and sneakers. Poor kid looked terrible, not in an ugly way but more like he had just watched his favorite cartoon get canceled. I wasn't moving but my body seemed to follow him, which is really weird because I'm so used to going faster than the speed of light.

He stopped at a flower boutique, looked for a minute at some tulips, then moved on. His phone rang and I could even hear the other end of the conversation,

"Hey Conner. What's up?"

"M'gann wanted to let you know that we might be a bit late."

"Why's that? What's going on in big old Metropolis?" Even with a sad look on his face, Wally was still Wally.

"I had a bit of an accident-"

"She pregnant!"Wally screamed at the top of his lungs. Same old Kid Flash.

"What!? NO! Geez man why do you do that to me? I meant I got a little angry and may have created some new craters in the Metropolis area..."

"Sorry dude. Being funny is what I do. As for the crater thing I don't think I can really help you out there."

"I just wanted to let you know we might be late."

Wally sighed like I have never heard before, I could practically feel the heartbreak coming off the kid. "It's fine. As long as your there, right? I think Kaldur's going this time but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't show."

I heard Conner scowl, "Not like he cares anyways."

"Dude that's not fair. You know what Kal was like after that. He almost shut down if it wasn't for Tula.(BTW Tula is ALIVE in this. Just saying) He felt like it was his fault."

"I still think it's wrong he didn't show last year. Kaldur was just as much responsible as the rest of us were and we showed. I just think it's cowardly."

"Maybe so but it's Kal's decision. Hear anything from Roy?"

"No. And I doubt we will anytime soon."

"I'll try him later. I'm home now so I'll call you back."

"Bye."

Wally entered the apartment, surprisingly Artemis was there on the couch looking at a scrap book. I was still preoccupied with the conversation I just heard, though I swear Wally kissed Artemis' cheek. Wat were Wally and Conner talking about? Going to what? What CRATERS? Were was GA and Supes in all of this? How much time had gone by? I was probably in one of those 'dream of the things that is happening to those close to you' kind of situations. Pretty normal for a guy who hangs with aliens, metas and runs around in tights everyday. I wonder what Iris was up to? Why haven't I seen her yet? Were Wally's parent okay? What about Jay and the other Leaguers?

"It's what Wally?" Artemis' yelling snapped me from my thoughts. "It's ridiculous that I could think Robin the boy wonder might be dead?" WHAT!? Batman was NOT going to be happy. "There's nothing left! Over two million people died that night and we haven't seen Dick since!" Nothing left? Of Gotham? The Cave? No it had to be Gotham if over two..two million... "The League, the goddamn Justice League told us that we should just accept it! That Dick was dead and never coming back!"

Artemis broke down into tears, I saw Wally fighting back the salty liquid too. The JL had told the kids that? To just give up? What about Batman? Was he dead too? No that was not possible, he is Batman for God's sake! Robin...Dick, the little baby of the JL family, the first sidekick, the boy wonder... It just couldn't be.

Artemis swallowed back a cry, "It's been two years now hasn't it?"

Two years? Two years since Dick...

"Still feels like yesterday, doesn't it?"

"We should call M'gann and Conner. Try Kaldur too and meet up."

"I thought you said it was stupid to go visit an empty grave?"

That nearly tore my heart out. Two years ago these kids had to bury an empty coffin dedicated to their friend.

"That doesn't mean we shouldn't. Disrespectful, right?"

Wall smiled warmly, "That's what Barry always told me."

I saw her stiffen, like Wally saying my name had just summoned Voldemort. "Where do you think they are now?"

They who?

"I have no idea. It's been almost three years, if they wanted to come back they would have by now."

Oh God he was talking about me wasn't he?! No wonder Wally looked so much older! Three years ago he was a 16 year old kid, now he's 19 and living away from home! Dear God! If this was playing at real time then I've been gone for THREE FREAKING YEARS! Worse than 16 hours by a long shot! And I wasn't the only one either! By the sound of it I disappeared along with other Leaguers which meant that the JL was short on members and I don't think Wally or Artemis were still in the hero business and ohmygodIrisisgoingtokillmewhenIgethome! IfIevergethomewherethehellamIwhyisthishappeningwha t'sgoingonhowdoyoustopthisthing! (Barry is such a spazz)

"-we lost the goddamn Batman, the Leagues leader, we lost Superman. We lost the most powerful person on the planet! We lost all of our mentors in one day! Not like in the failsafe, not like when we watched the whole League go down... I miss them. I miss Oliver, Barry, Clark, J'onn, Orin. Even Bruce. I want them to be here."

My heart broke as I saw Wally shed a tear, "Me too."

I tried to run, to hold them, tell them it would be okay like a good uncle should. What kind of uncle just leaves? Even if I did ever see Wally in person, how could I face him knowing I let him down like this? They have been alone for three years, without guidence from the people they looked up to and trusted.

Wally kissed Artemis on the head, "I talked to Conner. They are coming but they might be a little late. You hear anything from Roy?"

"Jade called and said she'd talk him into it." Jade? As in Chesire the assassin? Aremis' sister? With Roy? "We agreed for around six. Usually time."

"That gives us three hours to get to the worst city on Earth."

"Or what's left of it." Ouch.

"I'm going to call Kaldur and see if I can perswayed him." The ex-Kid Flash got up from the couch and walked over to the nearest phone, dialed a few numbers then waited.

"Hey Kaldur. It's Wally. Yeah been a while, huh?" I couldn't hear the Kaldur over the phone. "I wanted to let you know that there's still a place for you if you want to join us this time. Come on dude. You can't just skip this. It's not right. Well what does Tula have to say about it? She's right man. You should come or you'll never get over it. I didn't mean it like that Kaldur. No I meant it like you need to relize it wasn't your fault. None of us knew, we were no where near Gotham. Dick made his own choise, it wasn't your fault, believe me Kal I miss him too. But I know that Rob would be hurt if you kept blaming yourself. You owe it to him to at least say some final goodbyes. That's right, six o'clock. Okay, thanks Kaldur. We'll see you there."

Wally set down the phone, who knew he was so good with people.

Artemis looked at him from the couch, "He's actually coming?"

Wally nodded, "Yep. Today is the day."

I wanted to laugh at the irony of Wally saying that, but it wasn't a good situation. I saw Wally walking back to Artemis, but mist began to cloud the world around me and I lost sight.

Next thing I know I'm hitting my head on some concret, "OW!" I bolt up and hold the back of my head. Wait... I'm sitting on the floor... of a room...made of metal... and Green Arrows here with everyone else... WHAT!?
