The long, long awaited Chapter 20. Thanks for your patience, I'm so sorry for the hiatus I hadn't intended to take but really needed. Things have been busy, but better. So finally after months of waiting here is chapter 20:

Chapter 20

This was it. No going back. No turning around. No chickening out. This was it. After two weeks by himself, loathing himself. He was standing in the door of the Med Bay. Trying to get the courage to go in and see Artemis. Dick had left him be so he could talk to her in private, but to be honest, Dick was hoping she could talk some sense into him. Wally looked and shook his head. "I don't deserve to be here." He mumbled to himself.

"Neither do I but here we are." A voice in front of him said.

Wally suddenly looked up and his eyes widened, "I didn't know you were awake."

"I didn't know you talked to yourself Baywatch." Artemis grinned, she looked pretty bad.

"How do you feel?" Wally asked.

"Like I was beaten to a pulp." Artemis joked, she stopped when Wally cringed. "I've heard you're thinking of resigning."

Wally only shrugged, for some reason this made Artemis furious.

"That's it? A shrug. That's all you can give me? Wally! It wasn't your fault! No one else could've done what you did and beat it! You beat it! You have done everything right! Everything you should have done! Why are you beating yourself up?!" She snapped.

"Because I hurt you! Roy is probably going to die because of me! Even if I did everything right it still wasn't enough! Don't you get that?! It wasn't enough! I didn't stop quick enough, I didn't fight hard enough. It just wasn't enough." He said looking at her.

Artemis sighed, "Maybe you're right. Maybe it wasn't enough. Maybe it wasn't enough to stop us from getting hurt. But it was enough to keep us from all being killed. Maybe you didn't do everything right. But you did enough right to protect more of us than you hurt. So instead of playing the pity card why don't you accept that what happened happened? You can't change the past, but you can fix the future. You could be better. You could help us be better. Teach us how to avoid being where you were. Show us how to be stronger and not fall into the same thing you did. Maybe we all weren't enough. But we could be enough now." Artemis looked him in the eye.

Wally stood silent at this, he couldn't tell her she was wrong. Because she wasn't wrong. She was right. He'd messed up. Badly. But he could fix it, he could protect his friends and keep them away from what he did. He could make sure that nothing like this ever happened to them again.

Artemis looked at him, "So, are you resigning? Or are you going to man up and fix your mistakes?" Artemis asked.

Wally looked at her, "I'm not running away."

"You're staying?" Dick suddenly was standing behind him looking hopeful.

Wally sighed and looked at him, "Yeah. I need to make things right. I can't hide away forever. Artemis is right. What happened happened. But I can make sure it will never happen again."

Dick grinned, "Way to feel the aster man."

"I feel more like a disaster." Wally admitted.

"You're getting there." Robin high fived him.

Finally after two weeks, the Team was gathering in the main room of the Cave. No on entirely sure what was going on but it was important and everyone could tell.

M'gann looked around nervously but Connor sent her a small smile which seemed to calm her nerves.

Zatanna stood next to her, "Don't worry, I'm sure it is nothing bad." She smiled.

Kaldur smiles, "Do not worry M'gann, Robin informed me that it was good news." He said. Not a few seconds later Robin came out from the direction of the Med Bay.

"I have a lot I could say but I think it's better you hear it from him." He said and looked over at the door. Wally walked out leaving everyone stunned. They had no idea he was even here. Or that he wanted to see them at all. Everyone had a thousand questions but stayed silent and let him speak.

Wally looked at them, his eyes told stories a thousand years beyond his age. "I've made mistakes." He started and looked at them with a little stronger of a gaze, "I can't deny that. You can't either. Everyone has tried to convince me that none of this was my fault. But the fact is that it is my fault. I shouldn't have ran off that day I knew about my dad. There is a lot of things I should've done or should not have. The thing is though, no matter what I did, is that I need to fix it. I need to own up to my mistakes. The ones I made and face the guilt of the ones I didn't make. I never wanted to hurt anyone. All I ever wanted to do was help people. I still want to do that. The only one who kept me off this team was me. You've all been supportive and I think it's time I use it. I'm messed up right now, and honestly I could use the help, I'm sick of fighting all of this alone. I'm doing my best and I want to make things better. I want to be better. I want to help the Team be better. I was to rejoin Young Justice. I want to be part of the Team."
