27. Funeral

Wally watched with hard eyes.

He hated to lie to his friends, to his family, and to make them believe that he hates his best friend...partially.

Wally doesn't like how his best friend is risking his girlfriend's life on such a dangerous mission, not to mention what it's putting everyone through. Paula wasn't just weeping, she was grieving over her daughter's death. Ollie was there, holding her and trying his best to comfort the woman while he himself is trying to stop himself from crying. M'gann not only lost her boyfriend but lost her Earth-sister and Conner watched helplessly as his ex-girlfriend wept, and so and so forth. To be short, he hated himself and Dick for this.

The funeral was fake and real at the same time. Artemis was not in the coffin, she was under the water with Kaldur on a mission. This was a fake funeral for him, nothing was real, but the atmosphere was.

Now he was glaring at Dick who stared emotionlessly back.

"This is all your fault!" Wally decked his best friend in the face. Dick made no move to dodge the blow. He could feel his uncle and Mal, holding him back. "If you hadn't asked Artemis to go back to that life, she would have been fine, we would have been fine!"

"I'm sorry," he mumbled.

"Well 'sorry' isn't going to bring back my dead girlfriend." He spat out.

"Wally, calm down." His uncle urged.

"I didn't know what would happen." Dick calmly said, keeping up the act.

"That's right you didn't know, and I was scared of that unknown. We were doing just fine until you came along and had to pull her back in!"

"I didn't mean for it to turn out like this. I didn't know Kaldur would..."

"Shut up!"

Wally shook off the hands and stormed off, away from his family, away from his best friend, away from the crowd. He couldn't take it anymore. The sympathetic and pity looks he got from others. He missed her so much. He missed her voice, her laughter, her smile, he missed everything about her. Artemis may not be dead, but that doens't mean he can handle being away from her for so long.

Wally doesn't like this plan one bit, but if it helps the League, it's fine. But it would be better if she came out alive and safe in his arms again.

The funeral may be a fake, but he can't shake off the feeling that this was an actual funeral; like he said goodbye to her. It feels like shit.

The aftermath of episode 7 of Young Justice: Invasion.

I would think this is what Wally would be feeling. Sorry if this is all over the place. It's like 10 and I don't know why, but I'm so tired sometimes I can't even wake up to let my dog out...eventually he peed in the kitchen floor. Thankfully my parents were asleep while I was cleaning the mess up. I'm so sorry, Maru! DX

Hope you guys enjoyed it. :)
