"How?" M'gann asked.
Wally tapped his fingers on a desk. "Uncle Barry will know-"
"Great I'll call him. You two are the only ones' who really understand me right now." Artemis zipped over to the communications board.
"but he's…she's not listening is she?" Wally frowned. "MMMNH! ARTEMIS!"
"GAH! TOO SLOW!" came a yell from across the room.
"Is this your experience with our powers Wally?" Kaldur asked, taking a breath.
"Yeah." Turning to Artemis, he yelled: "He' .PLUTO!"
A loud, superfast scream with lots of words attached bellowed from the protagonist teens' mouth.
"Because he had to stop it from blowing up. Green Lantern thing. Outer space terrorists."
"Dude, why does every Green Lantern have a Flash friend? Does this mean you'll be a Green Lantern Sidekick someday?" Robin scoffed.
"Rob!" Wally stamped his foot.
"I need HELP HERE!" Artemis yelled out, running her left hand over her elbow rapidly.
"One. You'll. Get. Motion. Burn. Two. There's another speedster who can help us." He slowed down, enough to let Artemis catch onto his words but the others too.
"There's another speedster?" M'gann asked.
"Yeah, the first Flash!" Connor spoke like he was quoting a textbook. "Justice Society of America started in 1940 to help protect the Allied Forces after America entered the War."
Artemis' eyes opened and stared at him. "How-never mind. I need help!" She screeched.
Wally's voice wafted through the kitchen: "Yeah, okay, thanks Jay! Bye!"
Wally turned around to find Artemis standing in front of him, hands on her hips, her legs vibrating. "Tell me that was the "First Flash" or I'll hurt you."
Wally stood up, his hands by his side. "Yup. He's bringing pizza."
Artemis sighed.
Robin smirked.
Kaldur asked: "Pizza?"
"If Artemis has speedster powers, she's gonna need to refuel. Soon. Or…"
"Or her metabolism right?" Connor butted in from behind Wally by a few feet.
Wally's raised his eyes and nodded. "Yeah, exactly."
"I am hungry." Artemis started tapping her foot.
"Burning joules of calories will do that to a person." Robin smiled sarcastically.
"Shut up Troll." She bit, her feet going faster.
RECOGNISED FLASH A13
"Hello? Boy, it's been a long time since I've been here." A hearty older voice whistled with nostalgia.
"Over here Jay!" Wally called.
An older man with gray hair in a red polo shirt and a pair of blue work jeans walked in at a fast-walk, a polite friendly smile on his face.
"Hello everyone. I'm Jay Garrick, please call me Jay. Now what's-" he stopped at looked at Artemis, putting the pizza down on the undestroyed table, giving Wally an upturned eye-brow.
"Hi Jay!" Wally said. "Um: I destroyed the table, Artemis has super speed now, you've met Rob, this is Kaldur or Aqualad," he said pointing to each teenager by name "Miss Martian or Megan and Superboy or-"
"Connor." The old man smiled at him.
"You know my name?" The boy asked puzzled.
"Barry told me. We Flashes are family- Artemis, please. Take a deep breath." He turned his attention to the blond haired girl who, unintentionally, spoiled the moment by creating burn holes in the floor of the cave.
Artemis took a breath equal to one of a hummingbird.
"Slower dear. Like. You're. Trying. To blow up. A balloon." Jay took a step towards her.
Artemis tried again, this time making a slower, deeper breath. "Better." Her voice came out recognisable to the other teenagers, but alike someone on a caffeine high vs. a adrenaline rush.
"Ohhh boy. I've seen this only a few times in my days. Wally, you've given her some speed."
