The Black Death

Things have just began to sink in. I'm on a time machine. I'm actually on a time machine. If Wally was here he'd be running around shouting names of machines and algorithms that I wouldn't be able to understand. But he's not. He's not here.

Everyone on the ship seems pretty nice, even Zari, considering if it was me I'd actually stab the person in the shoulder. So good job not stabbing me Zari. I have to admit it really is weird how trusting this Ray guy is, he's shockingly optimistic. What's even weirder than that they have another Wally on their ship. Obviously it's not the same Wally but it still hurts me to look at him.

Knock, knock. It's probably Ray trying to get me for the end of the tour. I open the door to see a smiling Ray somehow looking even happier, god , how many times can a person win the lottery in one day? It's the only plausible explanation for him. "Artemis? Are you in there?"

I walk over to the door and it slides open before I can even touch it. "Yeah, I'm here." I reply to his question.

"Great, let's go." His smile only seems to get larger as time goes on. I'm halfway expect his lips to explode in a couple of minutes.

After about a half hour of just walking around the ship with Ray who was constantly pointing out differently sciencey terms that I half understood (Wally talks in his sleep). If Wally was here in under 5 minutes they would have matching nerdy baseball hats and be best friends. But I have to remind myself that Wally is my past, these people are my future.

"... And this is the kitchen, which you already knew." Ray exclaims, probably finishing a speech that I definitely wasn't listening to.

"Great!" I exclaim with an uncharacteristically large grin on my face. "Now I have a horrible hangover so I'm going to get coffee before I pass out of exhaustion." I walk over to the counter top I was sleeping on when I notice something. "Um, guys? Where is the coffee maker?" 

"Oh, we have a food creator thing instead." Wally exclaims- god, it's so hard to attach the name Wally West to anyone but my goofy redhead. "Here I'll show you." He leans over to reach it but I stop him.

"I can figure it out on my own." I interject. I'm a badass, no matter what earth I'm on. Ray chuckles slightly but stops when Wally turns around, glaring daggers at him. The design is fairly simple. It has buttons with letters on it and I suppose that you just have to type in the food that you want. I type in C-O-F-F-E-E and in a couple of seconds the machine dings. I open the door and inside there's a cup of coffee resting in the exact center of a white dish. "Wow, that actually works." I turn to face the team. "You could end world hunger or something." I exclaim, drinking the creamy liquid.

"Yeah, it does taste good." Zari exclaims, and then frowns. "So how exactly did you two meet? All I know is you got drunk and beat some guys up."

"Well it's actually a pretty funny story." Sara exclaims.

"So, Sara was pretending to be an innocent girl who didn't mind being hit on, just so she could beat them up more later." All of the people in the ship looked confused, because they probably had no idea why anyone would want to do that.
