I didn't want to say good-bye, I mean, her heart was still beating and she still was breathing, but we couldn't classify her as there. I could pin point all this down to some logic explanation, but two years, she had been in a coma for two years, she was still that beautiful blond haired girl I remember. I remember how she would giggle whenever I did something stupid, when she would come back with snarky comments and we would go on for hours.

"Wally?" The voice was muffled, it sounded like Dicks

"KF, you there?" yes it was Dick, I moved my eyes up to look at him, he was now taller, more muscular, but he sounded the same

"Sorry" I mumbled

"You dozed off again, you alright?" He asked putting a hand on my shoulder as I tried to stand up

"Yeah, I'm fine" I said walking to the kitchen finding something to eat, I was still Kid Flash, I was given time off after the accident but I was back in form now, but today I didn't really want to communicate with anyone

"Are you sure, I mean today is-"I cut him off

"I'm fine" I said flatly, M'Gann had asked me this today as well, even Connor had and he is emotionless, I had moved on. I'm fine, I had moved on, I had a girlfriend who I loved, or that's what I was telling myself anyways. She was great, she was funny and smart, calm and easy going, and she was just what I needed

"You're allowed to be upset Wally" Dick said softly,

"No, I'm fine, look I've comes to terms that she will never wake up, just leave it at that" I retorted grabbing a chocolate bar and walking towards the training room, I need to punch something. I walked fast, silently huffing as I did, I walked past the medical wing, and I saw that blonde hair out of the corner of my eye. Damn it.

I slowed down, and turned back into the room where she laid silently, the same position as she had been for two years, I had seen her so many times like this and the pang of pain and guilt swept through my body again. The medical staff had her on drips, feeding her, keeping her well-nourished, keeping her strong, but she wouldn't wake up.

She was still beautiful, she still had those full lips and that long blond hair although it had been cut a couple of times while she was lying there, I pulled up a chair and sat by the side of her bed, she still had that scar on her forehead, it was never going to leave, just like the memory of that night

FLASH BACK

"Run!" Connor screamed, we didn't hesitate to follow, all of us in unison started running towards the bio-ship, we were outnumbered and out gunned, we were going to die if we stayed any longer. Artemis was at the back, her arrows ready if anyone came close enough, she wouldn't hesitate to kill them

"They're coming!" Artemis screamed, M'Gann was out like a light, Kaldur's leg was broken, how did this go so wrong?

"Go!" Artemis screamed, I stopped running and turned back to her, Robin was helping Kaldur and Connor was holding M'Gann

"No! Artemis we have to go!" I retorted, grabbing her by the hand and trying to pull her, she shoved me away

"There is no way we will make it if someone doesn't slow them down" She panted, she was right, they were gaining on us, we were all injured and if we had any chance of getting out then shooting explosive arrows at someone was going to be the way

"I'll be fine Wally, just go! You have to help Robin he can't carry Kaldur on his own! Please just go!" The first part was stern, but she was pleading when she told me to go, Robin and Kaldur would die if they slowed down, she was right he had to help them

"I will come back for you Artemis, I promise you" I said on the verge of tears,

"I know you will Wally, I know you will…" She squeezed my hand then ran forward into the chaos, the first explosion went off, I felt numb; my body didn't want to move. I snapped back into reality when I heard a scream come from Robin, he had been shot in the leg, now I really had to go. I ran hard to wards the two chucking Robin over my shoulder and Kaldur on my side, I ran as fast as I could towards the Bio-Ship.

I heard three more explosions, and a lot of grunt,

"Where is Artemis?" Robin asked frantically, I didn't answer, I just kept running towards the ship. I had a lump in my throat and I could barely manage to breathe once I was finished. I placed them down in the bio-ship, they winced but they were holding up OK

"Agghhh!" I knew that voice from anywhere, it was one of the most blood curdling screams I had ever heard and to make matters worse it came from Atremis's lips, my heart stopped and the lump in my throat got bigger, I didn't bother to check with Kaldur to go get her, I turned around and sprinted towards the scream. I had never ran so fast, I needed to get to her in time

"Artemis!" I screamed when she came into view, she was laying on the ground her clothes bloody and her body was cut and bruised. Her eyes were closed as she lay in the dirt; I picked her up in my arms and ran back as fast as I could. She was so limp in my arms, but she was breathing that was all that mattered.

When I reached the ship Connor was at the big seat getting ready to go, I moved to a corner of the ship, and pulled her closer to me, resting her head on my chest and clutched the rest of her, I looked down at her removing some of the hair from her eyes, they slowly fluttered open, those big grey eyes I had never been more happy to see them

"Wally?" she wheezed

"I'm right here Artemis" tears were welling in my eyes

"You came back" she coughed, spluttering a little bit at the end

"Of course I did Artemis" she smiled, a small tear went down my cheek as her eyes started to shut,

"I thought you might have left" she whispered, I shook my head and smiled

"I couldn't…You are my spitfire Artemis" She smiled once more and shut her eyes.

I breathed out sitting next to the girl that saved my life and my friends life, she could have died and she still put us before herself, we never figured out what actually happened while she was out there alone, something tells me we didn't want to.

We weren't even a couple, she aggravated me and irritated me, and she hated my guts, did she? There have been so many questions I wanted to ask her about us, about what happened that night; I want to tell her how much things have changed. I wanted to tell her that her mum had died in an accident, her father had been arrested and now has a permanent cell in bell rave, and so many things had changed.

I put my head in my hands and stated crying, I hadn't cried since the accident, the tears were finally started to flow, I sniffed and looked back up to her

"Two years Artemis, you need to wake up" I sniffed grabbing her hands

"We need you! Don't you get that Artemis? We need you, I need you!" More tears were flowing now; I couldn't stay in here any longer. I ran out the room slamming the door behind me, I quickly rubbed my eyes with my sleeve and walked out to everyone, they were carrying on with their normal routine, and how they could be so normal

"I'm going to go home; Kristin is coming over for dinner" Everyone gave me looks

"What?" I retorted

"Do you think that's a good idea? I mean today is…" M'Gann trailed off

"Today is what?" I said angrily crossing my arms; everyone put their heads down, and today was hard for them to

"I'm going, goodnight" Dick waved, everyone else walked away, I shrugged it off, I had more important things to worry about.

"Hey mum" I said walking in giving her a quick peck on the cheek, I quickly stole a drumstick of the chicken while she wasn't looking and got ready for dinner putting on a fresh shirt I quickly ran back down to see Kristin talking to mum, her black hair hung down to her shoulder matching her dark eyes

"Hey baby" she said sweetly

"Hey Kristin" I said walking up to her and giving her a hug and a peck on the cheek, she looked nice and the family like her so Wally couldn't be happier…

After dinner had been served Kristen was talking to his mother about school when the phone rang

"Excuse me dear" She said and walked into the kitchen, answering the phone, Kristen turned to me and smiled

"How was your day baby?" she asked

"It was good, busy as per usual" I said, she didn't know I was Kid Flash

"Doing?" Know I needed a good excuse

"Wally, it's for you" Thank god, mum to the rescue

"Hang on a sec" I gave her another peck on the cheek and walked into the kitchen, mum handed me the phone and walked back out the table

"Hello" I said

"Hey Wally" Dick, why was Dick calling him

"Is something up bro?" I asked swallowing my food; he went silent for a couple of seconds before answering

"Um, I need to tell you something" he said nervously, I walked closer towards the back of the kitchen so no one would hear

"What's wrong?"

"Artemis woke up"
