I just realized I didn't do the disclaimer last time. I don't own Youmg Justice.

"Artemis?"

"How do you know my name?" Her eyes narrowed, the same ways they did whenever her dad "dropped by" or when one of her classmates tried to hit on her.

Something was seriously wrong. That much was obvious. First of all, the cave existed. He realized wasn't wearing a shirt. Artemis seemed shorter than he remembered. Now that he thought about it, he felt pretty small too. Not just a you-tripped-coming-into-the-cave-and-everyone-is-staring-at-you small (though he felt that too) but a you-drank-one-of-Zatanna's-experiments-and-got-turned-into-a-cat kind of small (don't ask).

In a few seconds, his super-fast brain pieced it together. Either he had been sent back in time, or the afterlife was really weird. He had better play it safe.

"What are you talking about? I didn't say anything."

Artemis was about to respond but was cut off by the computer.

Speedy B-06

Whew! Saved by the zeta beam.

"Roy! You look-" Ollie started

"Replaceable"

Dang! That was pretty cold. In retrospect, Roy was kind off a jerk. Sure, Wally had been on his side the first time around, but now he seemed like an ass. He would have called him out in it, but the Artemis thing had scared him to the point were he decided he wouldn't talk until he made a plan.

Speaking of Artemis, Wally glanced over at her. She was still glaring at him suspiciosly. She was so close, yet so far. That hurt more than the electricty had.

Snapping back ro reality, Wally watched as Roy had a stormed off.

"Great. As if having to program a complex algorithm on a compiter with less RAM than a wristwatch wasn't bad enough, now I have to do it with teen-speak in my head!" There goes Dr. Roquette, whinning about getting rescued.

"Lady, do you always complain when people try to help you?" He didn't even say that because he said it last time, she was just getting annoying.

Silence.

That was odd. He could have sworn Artemis had made some sort of "pot, kettle" remark. Then again, it was five years ago. He could be mistaken.

Wally racked his brain, trying to remember what came next. There was Cheshire, and Black Spider, but he couldn't think off what they did. He recalled a pool, for some reason.

"I'm going to go help Superboy and Miss Martian with the perimeter."

Yes that seemed familiar. Now Robin was going to tell him about Amazo.

"You know it was her arrow that saved you from Amazo"

Right in cue.

"What, I thought that was Speedy's-er-Red Arrow's arrow," Wally knew it wasn't of course, but that would be difficult to explain.

Robin shook his head.

"I'm still not giving her the satisfaction" That sounded about right.

"You know I can still hear you"

If course she could. How did he not realize that last time?

Wally decided he would leave Kaldur with the doctor. He looked down the hallway and say a pool. Then it hit him.

"Cheshire" he wispered to hinself

"Yes?"

The speedster spun around. There she was. Crap. He'd been planning on a suprise attack. His train of thought was derailed be a left hook to his jaw.

Part of him wanted to fight, while the other part wanted to lose on purpose so as to not deviate from the events of last time. Then his survival insticts kicked in. He sprung to his feet and tried to punch her, fully expecting it to be blocked. To his suprise, he made contact with her abdomen. Then he realized everything was moving in slow motion. In his almost 8 years of being a speedster, this had never happened. He wondered if this is what it was like for Flash and Impulse.

Regardless, he might as well use it. Cheshire was out before she hit the floor.

"Guys, I've got a shadow"

All he heard over the mental link was a low mumbling, like listening to a whale. Almost like they were talking in slow motion.

That's it! He must still be in high speed mode. He pulled together all the focus he could and tried to slow himself down.

"Thinking too fast" said Robin, in normal speed

"I've got a shadow. I think it's Cheshire"

"Cheshire?" Artemis asked nervously.

"Yeah, why?" Wally knew why.

"Oh, nothing" It wasn't nothing. Wally didn't push her. She would tell them when she was ready.

One down, two to go.

Aqualad came over the link, "We are moving the Doctor"

Wally thought the plan was flawless. M'Gann would impersonate Roquette, who would actually be in a different building.

"Guys, the next target is a Wayntech building. Theoretically the information could hack the-" Justice League. Right. No pressure.

"The what?" Connor asked

"Its not important. What is important is that they have a 24 hour work schedule, and we'll never evacuate everyone in time,"

That was when it happened. Even having done it once before, Wally was a little nervous when Hook and Black Spider burst through the door. Artemis had been left to guard Cheshire, which left him and Megan to fight them. He took Black Spider, while she fought Hook.

Wally tried to reactivate the high speed thing that had happened earlier, but it was no use. Spider caught him in a web. Vauguely remembering doing tjis, he spun the web around himself, pulling Black Spider closer. The man got flung across the room. He didn't get up.

Wally looked up in time to see M'gann knock out Hook with his own weapon. As soon as Megan helped Wally out with the webbing, the took off towards the others, and got there just in time to find Artemis staring dumbstruck at the sidewalk.

"Where's Cheshire?"

" She escaped"

"What?" That, suprisingly, didn't come from Wally. Instead it was Dr. Roquette.

Wally was really starting to hate this lady.

"Hey, be glad your alive, okay! If it weren't for you wouldn't be"

That just slipped out. Wally couldn't help but stick up for his sort-of-girlfriend, and this woman was way out of line.

That didn't change the fact that everyone was staring at him in shock.

"Why do you all look so suprised? She is my teammate after all" It hurt to call her a teammate, imstead of girlfriend " Why wouldn't I stick up for her?"

"I've always wanted a sister. On earth I mean. I have twelve on Mars"

And M'Gann changes the subject. Another close call.

He noticed Artemis was staring at him. As soon as he looked up, she averted her eyes.

Wally internally sighed. This was going to be a long couple of months.

A/N: There. Two chapters in two days. Don't expect this kind of updating forever. I'll try to get one up as often as I can, but every day is a hard schedule to keep up. Anyways, review. Please.
