Phone calls

Author's notes:

Phone calls various superheroes/other people make to Wally after Artemis' second "death", meant to try and comfort Wally. Hint: it doesn't work!!! :P (and btw, there's a whole bunch of references to spitfire quotes during their post-bialya therapy meetings. See if you can recognize... ;D)

Hope you like! Comment, vote and follow me for updates! :)

And tell me if you like this! I'll do a part 2 with other characters if you guys fan, vote and comment. This is short, I KNOW, but I was kinda desperate to update this.

"Wally, it's Dick," Nightwing's voice says over the phone. Wally groans inwardly and presses the phone tighter against his ear.

"What do you want?" He growls. He was still mad at him for his risky behavior lately. The attack on the cave. The death of Artemis.

"I'm sorry." Dick says flatly. "I was wrong to take Artemis from you."

"If you're going to apologize saying it like that," Wally groans. "Then just stop right now. It makes me sound like a selfish ASSHOLE."

"Well then, I used the correct words," Dick replies cooly. "Because that word is describing EXACTLY how you're acting right now. All you care about is Artemis, not the fate of the entire world, Wally."

Wally hangs up without another word.

"Hey, Wally?" M'gann calls this time. Typical Dick. Send in the good cop for backup when mean old Wally snaps at the bad cop.

"Yes?" Wally replies dully.

"Are you okay?" She asks gently. "About Artemis?"

"Yes," Wally answers, tears threatening to fall. How did Dick expect him to lie like this?! And to sweet, kindhearted M'GANN no less!

"Wally, are you sure?" M'gann's concerned, gentle voice asks.

"Yes," Wally repeats.

"W-Wally..."

"Anything else?" Wally asks.

Silence on the other end.

"Good." Wally frowns. "Bye, Megan."

"Bye,"

**********

"This is Barry."

"Hey," Wally sniffs. "What's up?"

"Well, Artemis is 'up', Wally." Barry's voice says awkwardly from the other end.

"What do you want to talk about?" Wally exhales deeply, bored already.

"You really loved her, didn't you?" Barry simply asks.

"I still do," Wally replies, and Barry falls silent for a long time.

"What is it like? Losing her?"

"Imagine life without Aunt Iris. How would you feel if your BEST FRIEND made her go away from you into danger?" Wally demands, growing angrier.

"Wally, don't get upset." Barry warns faintly.

"I'm not upset!" Wally yells angrily, waking up Nelson.

"Wally, that's it. I'm coming over. We need to talk in person."

"Fine," Wally growls. "It's not like anybody else is over here but me."

**********

"Hello, Wally." Black Canary's voice greets.

"'Sup?" Wally asks flatly.

"You know what's up. You skipped another therapy meeting today." Dinah says sternly.

"So?"

"You are in desperate need of therapy, Wally." Dinah tells him. "Why didn't you come?"

"I don't need your help," Wally responds bitterly.

"Yes you do," Dinah says firmly. "And you're coming to the next therapy."

"Want to make me?" Wally sighs.

"I will if I have to," Dinah's voice tells him slowly.

"Listen, I'm backed up with homework and everything, so I don't need you to come a clog up my calendar with stupid therapy." Wally sighs.

"Wally, Artemis is dead."

"I know that," Wally replies through clenched teeth.

"You need to accept that. You're acting as if she still lives on." Dinah consoles.

"Maybe she is!" Wally blurts without thinking. There is dead silence on the other end.

"She can't be." Dinah whispers.

And Wally hangs up the phone, smacking his face with his palm in frustration to his stupidity. How could he have let that slip?! Wally slams the phone down on the counter and cries.
