Young Justice doesn't belong to me, no profit made.

Thank you for all your feedback and followers :D

Sorry it took a while, I've been really busy this week. :P


'Tell me about Tula?'

Wally's partner glanced over with a quintessential expression.

'To pass the time.'

'Well she was sad, quiet, sighed a lot too. She was here before me. But she never really wanted to leave. There was always someone on her mind.'

'Did she tell you how she got here?'

'Once. Sort of. She was in Atlantis, something to with Ocean masters attempted coup d'etat. She had been guarding the Queen and her son when Oceans master's men stormed in then... Well that's all she really said, I guess she didn't want to talk about it.'

Wally's face fell solemn. Their Tula had been trapped here all that time. He felt a slight bubble of guilt bust in his abdomen. How would Kaldur have reacted if he knew?

'Are you okay?'

I'm fine. I was just thinking, I had retired. Before all of this I mean.

'Seriously?'

'Yeah, me and my girlfriend Artemis. We had our own apartment in Palo Alto and a place in Stanford university. It was perfect, happy, stress free, safe.

Wally sighed

'And we should have never of left it.'

'But why did you?'

'The world needed saving.'

Wally's partner let out a ungraceful snort.

'Big heroic sacrifice I take it.'

'Sort of.'

Wally smiled weakly. If he was going to be honest with himself, Wally had always imagined a heroic sacrifice. As a champion, defeating the villain, getting the girl, saving the world. But the reality of it had been underwhelming. It was so fast he had no time , he couldn't see his friends, parents, Artemis. He couldn't even finish his own words. Wally was there then he was gone. Vanished, absent, erased from life. In a way it was almost ironic one of the fastest men of earth and he had been too slow.

'What happened to you?'

'It doesn't matter.'

'It did to someone. We're stuck here for God knows how long anyway.'

The boy sighed. Wally could sense that this was a burden for him. The boy sat straight, tightening his shoulders as if he were bracing himself for conflict. He stared at Wally through piercing cold blue eyes with such intensity that Wally almost flinched. There was a rage there brimming under the surface, Wally could feel it, a fuse ready to blow. His partner sucked in his breath then spoke in the most monotonous voice he could manage.

'I ran away. Got it. Ran away and got myself killed.'

'I don't believe you.'

'It's the truth.'

'Would your father think that?'

Wally watched his partner dig his fingers into his palm.

'It doesn't matter.'

A sudden pang of recognition ignited in Wally's subconscious.

'What's your name?'

The boy remained silent.

'We've met haven't we? You know who I am. This isn't a coincidence, we've met before.'

The boy avoided Wally's gaze, instead he look down hiding his face behind the swath of black hair that drooped over. But Wally had stitched the clues together. The voice, the attitude, the anger. It was him, aged and worn down but never the less they could be no mistake now.

'It's you isn't it,

Jason.'
