I don't own Young Justice
A grey hallway, devoid of decoration or windows into abyss beyond, through which walked a figure on blood red armour. Images ran through the young man's' mind, of that which was lost to the alien invasion, like Artemis. But she'd survived...
After the attack, the world had demanded a different kind of superhuman defence force; the Justice League had been remade into military unit, and that meant killing. Some had taken that change better than others; Rob had resisted at first, but conceded after seeing the death and destruction in Gotham City.
When Wally has taken up the Flash mantle, he had made two changes to his outfit. The first was the change in costume colour, in memory of the thousands the invaders had murdered. The second was the arrow shapes adorning his gauntlets, added in tribute to Artemis...
Wally stopped stone dead, nausea shredding through his brain like shrapnel from one of Red Arrow's "specials". Artemis had survived, they hall had, the planet had been rebuilt, and everything had gone back to normal...Why was he thinking about blood and death... The conflict between the two trains of though in his mind made Wally scream like alien he'd (literally) disarmed during the assault on the Mother ship in Smallville. His mind couldn't take such pressure for long, and Wally blacked out, returning to consciousness just outside a meeting room.
Gleaming white walls and table around which sat many heroes, including a grinning Rob. "Shall we leave you two alone" He asked? Wally didn't know who Rob was talking about, and then he looked around the room and saw Artemis, bow in hand, blond and beautiful. Wally super sped around the room and hugged her like he hadn't seen her in years.
Then it came again, the nausea making his vision blur. Suddenly he had his hands around M'gann and Rob was in black armour and not looking happy with Wally's embrace of his girlfriend...
"What's going on"? Wally demanded in an aggressive tone he didn't quite believe was his.
"Nothing is going on Wally, I'm just back from mars" comes M'gann's worried reply, eyes glowing to check for psychic manipulation effecting him.
"WHERE'S ARTEMIS"? Now Wally is desperate, she had to have survived...
"Artemis is dead, we were all there" explains a Rob with a voice that didn't allow for debate.
His face white as arctic snow, Wally turns and runs. He runs as fast as can, but the hallway, shifting between grey and white, never ends. Suddenly he trips, with no time to put his hands out in front of him, Wally plunges towards the floor...
Wally opens his eyes and remembers. Rob had ordered them to get a few hours sleep before their rescue mission/attack on the alien mother ship. There and ten, Wally decided that when he rescued Artemis tonight, he was going to do more than just hug her...
