"Asami has deployed the egg and disabled the MFD." Said a female voice to a man on a computer.
"What's going on?" asked Wally Sr.
"Good work, theta. 20 squads deployed, 20 MFDs destroyed." Said the guy on the computer. "The mission was a success! We have done it!"
"What's with the team and squads?" asked Dick.
"You missed one." Said Atom "The earth's magnetic fields are still being disrupted."
"Blue beetle to watch tower, I'm reading a 21st MFD in the artic. Hidden from my previous scans by earth's north magnetic pole. Sending coordinates."
"This is gonna end bad, isn't it?" asked Dick.
"Disastrous," said Ferra.
"Why can't everything just be astrous?" asked dick.
He got some strange looks from the future team.
"No zeta tubes in the artic, how are we gonna..?" asked computer guy.
"Don't worry gang, I've got this." Said the Flash.
"Not without me, you don't. Remember. Let's go in and crash that MFD's mode." Said Bart.
"So, that kid's still there," said Wally Sr.
"Woah, Flash to watchtower, the magnetic field disruptor, it's already gone chrysalis" said Flash. "I'm not sure the egg.."
"The egg is useless now, you're too late." Said Lex Luthor. Bart and Barry ran out of the cave as a giant funnel started.
"well, this is bad," said Conner.
"Is that Lex Luthor?" asked Dick.
"Yep." Said Lian.
"What now?" asked Flash.
"Now you run." Said Lex.
"Hey, I'm no quitter, there's gotta be…"
"I didn't say run away, I said run. Together you and Impulse should be able to negate the chrysalis by running counter to its energy flow."
"Is it really that simple?" asked Barry.
"If only…" said Mary-Jade. She always felt gulilty about the twins' father's death. If he hadn't died… well her parent's never would've gotten together and she would not have been born. She felt the universe had traded his life for Mary-Jade and her brother's.
"I wouldn't call it simple, you'll be attempting to syphon its power with your own speed trails, it'll take a massive amount of kinetic energy."
"Do you think it'll be enough?" asked Artemis.
"Recognized Kid Flash B-0-3." Said the computer.
"Oh, what happens to Kid idiot?" asked Artemis. The kids from the future couldn't meet her eyes.
"And no matter what don't slow down, until the chrysalis is completely neutralized."
Barry and Bart started running around the chrysalis. "I think it just might be working." Said Bart.
"It's definitely slowing, but not stopping." Said Barry. "Even at our top speed, I'm not certain the two of us could generate enough kinetic energy."
"Then how about the 3 of us." Wally said joining them. "I may not be as fast as you 2, but I can add my fair share of kinetic energy. Besides I can't let the new kid take all of the credit for saving the world."
"Yeah, it all goes to Luthor," grumbled
"Good man." Said Barry.
"So crash!" said Bart.
"Come on Wall man, you can do better than that." Said Wally as Bart and Barry passed him.
The Bioship landed letting Conner, Jaime, M'gann, Dick, Artemis, and Kaldur out.
"Look! It's working! They're shutting it down." said Dick.
"Earth's Magnetic field is stabilizing." said the scarab.
"What was that?" asked Wally Jr.
"Jaime's Scarab." Answered Ferra.
"What?" asked Artemis.
"I'm sure it'll explain later.
"Yes!" yelled Jaime.
"But there is a problem, Jaime Reyes. The Kid flash is in danger. His slower speed is making an exit valve for the chrysalis' energy."
Kid flash screamed as energy hit him.
"Uh... What's happening?" Wally Sr. asked with a nervous laugh.
"In 16 seconds he will cease."
"What!" yelled Wally Sr.
"Oh it's this!" yelled Paula.
"This is how..." stuttered Wally Jr.
"You're telling me..." stuttered Paula. They looked at each other, shocked.
"Cease? Cease what?"
Kid flash grunted as he was hit by energy.. "Bart, we have to try to slow down for him, try to syphon off some of the energy attacking wally.
"It's no good, Barry. Oh man! Artemis is so gonna kill me for this. And don't even get me started on mom and dad." Said Wally as he faded.
Everyone gaped at the screne. Artemis and M'gann were on the verge of tears.
"Kid!" yelled Barry.
"Just tell them, OK."
"Kid!" Yelled Barry. The funnel stopped.
"Wow," said Wally. "I just witnessed my own death."
"They did it!" yelled M'gann happily. Bart and Barry panted and fell to their knees. "It's over!"
"Congratulations, you have saved…" said Kaldur.
"We don't know." Said M'gann.
"Wait," said Artemis. "Where's Wally?"
"Oh, god…" said Artemis.
"Artemis…" said Barry. "He wanted me to tell you…"
"No, No," said Artemis.
"He loved you." Said Barry.
Artemis and Wally looked at each other.
Artemis started crying and fell to her knees. M'gann knelt down ad held her.
The scene changed Artemis knocked on Wally's parent's house and they opened the door, she started crying and they hugged her.
"Oh, god," said Wally Sr.
The scene changed to Dick and Kaldur walking in the watchtower. "This is no time for you to resign." Said Kaldur.
"So I resign, I guess that makes sense." Said Dick in a small voice.
"I'm not resigning, just taking a leave of absence. Besides, if you need help, Barbara's more than ready to step up."
"She did help for a few years, didn't she." Said Ferra.
"Agreed, but Dick,"
"I need a break Kaldur. You, me, Wally, we founded this team. Without him…"
Dick and Kaldur looked down.
Kaldur sighed. "I understand."
The scene changed there were holographic people. Tula, Ted cord, and an unrecognizable robin.
"Tula dies!" yelled Kaldur.
"Yeah." Said Kaline.
"Who's that kid in the robin outfit?" asked Dick.
"That's the 2nd robin, Jason Todd." Said Aiden.
"So that kid becomes Robin, then dies?" asked Dick.
Aiden nodded. "Doesn't mean he'll stay dead." Aiden mumbled to himself.
A boy dressed in the kid flash outfit stood in front of Wally's holograph. "You look good." Said Artemis.
"Really, cause I feel like a fraud." Said Bart.
"Well don't. You're honoring Wally's memory by becoming Kidflash. I know he'd be proud."
"I guess it's an honor, a little." Said Wally Sr. a little awkwardly.
"Thanks, so you suited up." Said Bart. "But as Tigress?"
Dick and Artemis's eyes widened. They really didn't want to acknowledge what that meant. At least they knew why they were in the same house now. Everyone from the past gave them strange looks. Mary-Jade and Shawn looked extremely embarrassed. Ferra smirked at her younger siblings, and parents. Paula and Wally were still shocked from learning the details of their father's death, and they were a little mad at the other twins for not telling them, saying they probably knew saying they were his cousins.
"Artemis was Wally's partner. I need some distance. I need a change. So let's see how tigress does."
"As a hero?"
"As a blonde."
A/N: Sorry if this was disappointing. At least you guys now know why the last few chapters were a little fluffy. Please review.
