Okay so this wasn't my original plan but I came up with this idea because it all just seemed too easy. Flashback.


Wally woke up on his couch and rubbed his head.

"Morning sunshine. You are quite the sleeper." Nicole said handing him a plate of breakfast.

"What is this?" he asked.

"Well you passed out at the park this morning." she said.

"This morning? Park?" Wally asked.

"You got a call saying that you had to go to the Watchtower and then you passed out," Nicole said.

"Wait so...everything that happened when I got to the watchtower was a dream?" he asked.

"Was it good?" she asked.

"Um, Bart and your dad showed up so yeah, pretty good. Although it might have given me an idea." Wally said.

"What?" Nikki asked.

"We just need to find the right frequency to go back home." he said.

"Sure if we had another year or so." she said.

"We have all the time in the world." Wally said, "In my dream, Artemis had another baby. A little girl. What if she really did?"

"Than all the more reason to go home." Nikki said putting a hand on his shoulder, "How did my dad take me being a villain?"

"Unbelievably well." he said.

"Any chance that would actually happen?" she asked.

"Wait and see," Wally said.

"You didn't have a night terror," Nikki said.

"I couldn't, Arty was counting on me to come back," he said. Nikki smiled and stood up.

"I am going to go get more food to restock our fridge. Thank you for letting me live here by the way," she said.

"Hey, anything for a friend," Wally said.

"You should probably tell the Justice League you're okay," Nikki said.

"No diabolic plans today?" he asked.

"None that involve me anyway." she said, "Bye."

"Bye," Wally said as Nikki left. He picked up his communicator and called the watchtower.

"Hey sorry I didn't come when you called last night. I was kind of preoccupied." Wally said.

"No problem, it was a false alarm anyway. We do need you up here now, though." Martian Man-hunter said.

"Right away J'onn," he said. Within seconds Wally was standing on the watchtower. After a quick meeting with Batman Wally casually strolled down the cell block. Sadly, though, there was no Bart. He sighed and walked to his room on the Watchtower laying down. He closed his eyes slowly as exhaustion took over.

Wally could feel his dads hands on him. He shuttered at the touch and the sound of pants dropping. Everything hitting him at once as blood ran down his arm. It was unbearable. He shot up in bed. Within seconds Superman was standing in his doorway.

"Are you alright Wally?" Clark asked. The concern showed through with his tone.

"It was just a nightmare," Wally said.

"You have a lot of those." he pointed out.

"Things best left unsaid," Wally muttered. Clark gave him a worried look to which Wally responded with a big grin.

"I'm hungry. See ya, Clark," he said running out of the room before he could be stopped.

Clark walked into the lab where Bruce was working on something.

"Wally is having the night terrors again," Clark said.

"He's had them since we met," Bruce stated.

"They're getting worse." he said.

"Some things we can't unsee. That's Flash's burden to bear. If he doesn't want to tell us, he doesn't have to." Bruce said.

"We're his friends," Clark argued.

"And as his friends, we need to respect that he doesn't want to talk about it," Bruce said.

"Fine." he caved.

Earth-16(1 month after Wally)

Dick sat on the rooftop with his eyes closed. Barbara walked up behind him.

"Mind if I join?" she asked.

"Do I have a choice?" Dick asked.

"Never," Barbara said sitting down next to him. He smiled slightly and looked at her.

"I miss him like crazy," Dick said.

"I know sweety." she said softly pushing his hair out of his face.

"We were fighting. I never got to tell him, how truly sorry I am." Dick said as tears came to his eyes.

"He knew Dick." Barbara said, "You were his best friend, his brother."

"I'm never gonna see him again. Never gonna hear his laugh or see his smile. He's gone." he said.

"Wally wouldn't want you to lose yourself over this. He would want you to be strong, and brave. To live your life." Barbara said.

"I need him," Dick said.

"You have to let him go. I know it's hard and I don't want to either. It has to be done, though." she said.

"I have something for you. I was gonna wait until tomorrow but right now seems like a good time," he said pulling out the ring.

"Dick..." Barbara breathed.

"Just listen for a minute. When I lost my best friend I realized I never wanted to lose someone that important to me again. So I want you to marry me. I don't ever want to let you go." he said.

"Yes, of course, I'll marry you." she said, "I love you."

"I love you too," Dick said. Barbara smiled and pulled Dick in for a kiss. He slid the ring on her finger and smiled wide.

Dick left and came back a few minutes later with champagne and glasses.

"To Wally," Barbara said.

"To Wally." Dick agreed as they drank.


Dick looked up from where he was working on something. He looked groggy. Wally stood next to him with his arms crossed.

"Yes, Wally?" Dick asked.

"You need to sleep." he demanded.

"I've gone on less," Dick said.

"You really shouldn't. Come on please just get some sleep. For me." Wally said.

"Only for a little bit." he caved. Dick climbed in his bed and Wally plumped in a chair next to him.

"Are you seriously staying?" Dick asked.

"I don't trust you to really do it if I don't," Wally said. He pouted but closed his eyes anyway. Within a minute Wally heard a soft snore.

"Night little bird," Wally whispered moving the blanket up further over his best friend. He yawned himself and soon fell asleep in the chair next to him.


Dick smiled as Barbara snuggled into his chest and he kissed her on the head. They leaned back and stared at the stars.

"It's a beautiful night." Barbara murmured.

"Like something you'd see in a movie." Dick agreed. Neither of them remembers doing it but they both fell asleep together on the roof. Cuddled next to each other.


Four year old Wally walked into his mom's room with a yawn.

"Mommy it's time for preschool." he declared. No answer.

"Momma?" Wally asked climbing up on her bed and giving her a soft shake. Still nothing.

"Daddy!" he screamed. Seconds later Rudy burst through the doors.

"Whats wrong?" he asked, concern dripping from his voice as he stared in his son's wide eyes.

"Mommy won't wake up!" Wally said. Rudy quickly removed him from the bed and rushed to his wife's side.

"Mary?" he asked as he felt for a pulse, "Call 911!" Wally nodded and ran for the phone. After ten minutes the ambulance arrived and a few minutes later Mary was declared dead. After an autopsy, they said the cause of death was untreated cancer. She probably didn't even know she had it. Wally curled up and cried and Rudy went straight for the bottle.

The Earth sixteen part with Artemis and Dick really happened so we're clear.
