Chapter 1:

Wally's eyes fluttered open to see a welcoming, familiar face.

"Hey, bro. Finally awake." His best friend's voice resonating throughout the unknown room. "You got me worried for a second."

"Dick, where am I?" Wally said in a drowsy tone. He got up from the medical bed to face him better. Every part of his body ached in pain. God was he hungry.

"Star Labs," he replied looking at his agony. He noticed his best friend's pain but put on a brave face. Wally gave a confused look, questioning why he was here. He looked down to see he was wearing blue sweatpants and a sweatshirt that read "Star Labs" in bold print. "Do you remember what happened at the Arctic?"

"I remember being in the Arctic to stop the MFD with Uncle Barry and Bart. The chrysalis kept hitting me, because ...I was too slow." His head looked down at his last sentence. The way he said slow sounded like venom and disgust.

"Well, you could thank me for rescuing you. Definitely feeling the aster."

Dick chuckling at the last part as he held a fist towards Wally. Wally returned it as they did their secret handshake that turned into a heartfelt hug. As he retracted from the hug, he noticed how Dick looked slightly older. He was not in his Nightwing outfit, just in civilian clothing with his signature sunglasses. His hair was visibly longer than the last time he saw him. His facial features looked more mature and just older.

"Look, I'm sorry how things ended before you know, I ceased," his hand nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

"No, it's understandable. I sent your girlfriend underseas. Speaking of Artemis, she-"

"OH MY GOD, Artemis! I have to see her. She is so going to kill me." Wally jumped off the bed swiftly. His eyes widening at the thought of Artemis. Dick opened his mouth to finish his sentence, but Wally interrupted him once again. "I'm gonna go to her, but I'll call you tomorrow. Love you broooooo."

"Wait," Dick called after the speedster, but in a gust of wind, he was gone. "A lot has changed."

He ran across the country to reach Palo Alto. The familiar door step of his and Artemis' apartment felt welcoming. The run tired him out but it was worth it. In the hour and thirty minutes he's been awake, he finally felt like he was home.

He knocked on the door hastily trying to be patient in reuniting with his spitfire. The door opened furiously and groaning was heard on the other side.

For Wally, he felt like he was in a 90s rom coms. Time was stopping so you can focus on the love of your life, while some cheesy 70s or 80s song is playing in the background. He was memorized by Artemis' natural beauty. The way her genetically impossible blonde hair was doing a little flip while she was answering the door. After being with her for 5 years, he always reminded himself how lucky he was to be with her.

"Oh my god… Wally?" Artemis' voice sounded as if it was about to break. Her throat felt dry. Her eyes widened and skin turned a couple shades lighter almost like she saw a ghost. Her knees felt weak as she collapsed to the floor. Tears started to form from her eyes.

Wally went to her level on the ground and held her hand with his. His hand went to wipe a single tear away. Unknowing of what to stay, despite practicing in his head on the way there, the only thing he managed to say was sorry. Her response was a look in his green eyes. She missed those eyes. That smile. Him.

"Babe, are you okay?" A voice spoke from inside. The voice grew louder as the speaker walked closer to the door. The speaker was a brunette guy was around was the same height as Wally. "Who's this?"

Wally lead Artemis up and watched her for her response. Her face looked a little distraught and was unable to comprehend the situation right now. Standing tall, Wally could see the man was around WAIT, why did this guy call her babe?

"Derrick, this is Wally." Derrick's face showing a tint of jealousy. "And Wally, this is Derrick...my boyfriend."

"Artemis, how long was I gone?" Inside, Wally already knew the answer by her long strands of hair and her slightly older face.

"5 years Wally."
