A/N: Okay hi guys! So I'm sorry if you find this angsty. I wrote an angsty one-shot for my favourite TLC (The Lunar Chronicles) ship, and apparently people found it angsty. I am in an interesting mood and found this prompt I saved from Pinterest so here it is. You have been warned. But also it may not be angsty or sad or anything. Also! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR ALL THE COMMENTS AND LOVE!!! It is very much appreciated by us. Enjoy these next TWO one-shots!❤️❤️❤️~*-*~
I knew I shouldn't have taken this on by myself. Man am I stupid. Did I complete the mission? Yes. Am I going to get back and see Artemis again? No.
I have to call her. This building is going to collapse any minute and I'm trapped under too much debris to even faze shift out. If I can't see her again at least I'll be able to hear her beautiful voice one more time.
My phone is in my pocket. Maybe I can at least reach. I grunt as a use all the strength left in me to reach and grab my phone. i pull in close to my face and find her contact. I quickly call her and press the device to my ear, hoping she'll answer.
"Wally?"
"Hey babe. So how's life at home? How are you and the twins?" Thank goodness she answered.
"We're fine. They are quite the handful but once you get home you can take them off my hands and I can rest a bit." she giggled a little bit after she said that. Oh how I'll miss that laugh.
"I'll be back soon, don't worry." I had to lie. I don't want her to worry about anything. Once I'm gone I know that Dick, Iris, and Uncle Barry will take of her.
"You better be. How's your mission going by the way?"
"Well I finally finished! Just seconds ago actually. I just miss you guys so much I had to call right away." I can't help it. Tears start running down my face silently. I look over my left hand trying so hard to pull this debris away from my body. I see my wedding band and am reminded of my family waiting for me back in Central City, yet again.
"I'm glad! I miss you too. I know it's only been a few days but I can't wait to see you again. The bed feels so cold and we just don't have the same energy around here as we do when you're home."
I pause, take deep breaths and just listen to my wonderful angel's breathing through the phone. I try to calm myself down but it doesn't seem to be working to well.
"Wally? Is everything okay? You seem quiet. Do you need to go to a hospital? Did you run out of emergency food? Don't you dare try lying to me because I know when you're lying!" I've worried her. I can't believe I did that?
"Yeah, ran out of food, that's all." My breathing isn't calming and she can tell. I still won't tell her what's wrong. I can't hear her break down right now.
"You're not coming back, are you Wally?" I can tell she's about to cry now.
"I'll be back Arty, I promise. I'm just a bit tired right now that's all."
"Wally?"
"Yeah babe?"
"I love you so much. You know that right?" I hate hearing her cry. She's trying so hard not to but I know.
"I know Artemis. I love you too. More than anything. The kids too!" We were both weeping by now. She knows that I won't tell her what is happening or that I'm not coming home. She knows.
I hear lots of crumbling sounds and I can tell that I am almost out of time. I am also so buried that I can feel my oxygen running out. don't thank that no oxygen is getting becasue it is. It's just not enough.
My breathing is labored. I need to say goodbye before she hears anything else.
"Hey honey," I choke out, "I'm sorry I left. I should've said no but I just-" I start sobbing all over again. "I just thought maybe after this I could stop for good and get a real job. I know I said that last time would be my last one, but I really meant it this time."
"No, no. It's okay. We're okay! You're okay, right!? You told me you'd be home soon. I'll count on that okay! Don't let me down. I'm counting on you to get back here safely!" She is crying so much I almost don't understand her. I do, but just barely.
"I love you Artemis. You're the best thing to ever happen to me. I'm sorry for ever treating you badly when we were on the team. I'm so glad I married you and we have a family now! I love you so much! You mean everything to me and I'm glad you answered my call. See you real soon Arty. I promise."
"Wally don't you dare ha-" I hear her sobbing and yelling.
That was the last thing I heard as I laid back, took my last few deep breaths and thought of my wonderful, amazing, beautiful wife and kids as everything went black.

A/N: Sorry for all the authors notes I use, I just want to make sure you all are liking these stories. So I actually did find this one sad and angsty. I don't usually think that of my own writing but I almost started tearing up while writing it. If others think other wise then fine, but I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. Remember to vote and comment! If you have any ideas we love them and will be sure to write them! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed these icons that I typed onto a screen, and then uploaded to the internet for all of you to observe and enjoy.
