44. Home

It was finally over.

The Light and their Partner was defeated, G. Gordon Godfrey was out of air and finally shuts up after so many views have dropped, not to mention his rant was getting on everyone's nerve. The Justice League cleared their name becoming no longer wanted by the galaxy, and the runaways were finally able to go back home while the Team gained a few new members from all of this.

Eventually, Nightwing's plan had to come into the light (no pun intended). Everyone, except for M'gann, were shocked to find Artemis alive, Kaldur still on their side, and that this plan has been going on behind the Team's back was hurtful. Nobody could say a word when everything was revealed, they just stood there stone still, and didn't know what to do. It was Zatanna breaking out of her stupor, she ran up to the blond and gave her a furious bear hug. Conner was to react next by punching both Nightwing and Kuldar, before giving Artemis a hug. Soon everyone was either crying or ranting; glad that Artemis was safe and angry that their Team leader and ex-Team leader would lie to them. They didn't seem to mind Artemis was part of the plan, more glad that she was alive instead being lifeless and buried 10 feet to the ground.

The Team was even more surprised to find out that Wally was also in on it. Yet, they knew the red was not so happy about the plan the others had decided to forge, the biggest hint was the fact his and Nightwing's friendship. How it was like a string and one wrong tug would have ended their friendship in a blink of an eye.

Artemis decided to go to her mother first, wanting to make sure she was okay and show her that her daughter was back from the dead. The reunion was tearful, joyful, and hurtful. The tears that fell from the Crock women didn't stop, Artemis held her mother in her arms, comforting her and apologizing to her, saying how she missed her so much and promised not to do it again. Her mother blabbered in Vietnamese, thankful that her little girl was okay and she was back with her. She held her daughter tight and the two sat there for a long time, the two not letting each other go. She spent the night there, she didn't want to leave her mother alone again, not after for being so far away from each other. But she couldn't the itch in her body that was getting harder and harder to ignore.

Later in the day Artemis left Gotham City and headed straight to Palo Alto, where Wally was waiting in their apartment.

Now the itch was just unbearable. She needed to go back to Wally, now. Not having him next to her when she slept, or waking up felt cold and lonely. When her mood was down there was no one there to cheer her up and make her laugh like Wally did. There was no one there to soothe her pain when everything just felt wrong. She wanted, needed, to see Wally, her Wally. The man that changed her life and made her feel warm and important; not that the Team didn't count, but she told secrets that only Wally knew. He would comfort her and knows what to say at the right moment and time. And being away from him this long just killed her. She didn't know the right word to describe how he felt to her.

In front of the apartment door, she took a deep breath, unlocked the door, and went inside.

"Hello?" She called out.

Spitfire barked enthusiastically when he saw his female owner, whom he hadn't seen in such a long time. He ran over to her and Artemis gave the attention he wanted; she laughed.

"Hey, boy, I missed you so much!" She looked around the house with a frown. "Wally? Are you home?"

Getting up from the floor she walked further inside, wondering where her boyfriend was. She nearly jumped out of her skin when a pair of two strong arms wrapped around her waist securely. But she quickly relaxed when she felt the familiar warmth and smell.

"Wally, you scared me."

"Not as much as you scared me when you were away." He mumbled, his face buried in the crook of her neck.

"It's okay Wally, I'm fine now." Artemis twisted around and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm back now and I won't go anywhere." She promised.

"Welcome home."

"...I'm home." She whispers.

Yes, that's right. Wally was her home. Warm, secure, and the reason she will always come back.

GUESS WHO IS...ALIVE! *evil laughter and music in the background*

Okay, so I finally made the 44th chapter of Moments, and it's Home! Now I know that some of you said that the Dog's name was Nelson, not Spitfire, don't worry, I'll change it. I just stuck him with this name because it just sounded so cute, lol. I couldn't update in a while because my mom confiscated my laptop so I need to use my College library or their computer lab...I prefer these then my laptop sadly to say. ._.;;;

And I watched Young Justice! Oh my god! Jaime, don't take the Scarab off! That might be the whole reason why he turns into Evil!Blue Beetle! The minute they try to take it off the Scarab will fight back and take complete control of Jaime's mind!

I love how M'gann is afraid to use her mind powers now, ever since she saw and felt the fear from her dear beloved (thought to be dead) Earth sister, that just scarred her. But that doesn't mean she really learned her lesson. I also liked how they introduced Virgil aka Static Shock. I used to watch that show so much when I was younger, but when I watched it now I was like "...Why did I like this in the first place?" Don't get me wrong, I love Static Shock, but I hated their...er...soundtrack for the TV show.

When they fight rap music, when their in a chase scene rap music, when their just doing something else rap music, OKAY I GET IT! I didn't like how they just put everything into rap music because the main character was black. Or I'm just being stupid, but that doesn't mean I don't like the characters and storyline, though I don't remember them much anymore.

Okay, enough of that, sorry 'bout that.

REEEEEEVIIIIEEEEEWWWWWWWWW! :D
