Wally's POVI groan as I wake up, blinking and trying to adjust to the bright lighting. Where am I?
The memories of the past few days (or weeks or months. I honestly don't know how long we were kept with the Injustice League. It seems like forever) come back to me. I remember being kidnapped, tortured, kidnapped again, strangled, held hostage, and asking Artemis is she would be mine. Did she really say yes and kiss me? Was I dreaming? Or hallucinating? I have no idea.
Then I try to sit up and let out a soft groan at the jolt of pain that runs through my side. Then I remember one more thing. When Artemis was being held hostage, I pushed her out of the way and got shot. Ah that's why It's so painful.
I hear a chair shift and someone falls on the floor with a thump and a cry of pain. It's Artemis. She was sitting beside me this whole time? I didn't know.
"Arty?" I ask, attempting to turn my head towards her but fail. The bandages around me are tight and I can hardly move.
She looks at me and smiles. The smile that sends a shiver down my spine and butterflies flapping around my stomach. "You're awake," she says, relieved.
"Yeah. The Wall-man is too awesome to be taken down by a mere bullet!" I grin. Smiling is a little painful but the laugh she lets out is worth it.
"Glad you're awake kid idiot. What were you thinking by doing that?"
"Er saving you? Is that a problem?" I ask innocently.
"Well you being unconscious for about a week is a problem yeah."
I nearly choke as I sit up, regretting doing that thanks to the pain that shoots through me. "A week?!" Artemis comes to my side. "Woah, don't want to rip out your IV. You still need the Starch. We were Held at the Injustice League's lair for 3 weeks. We all are a little food deprived. You especially." I gave her the 'you're serious?' Look and she nods. "You nearly died like 10 times. Thank god Martian Manhunter managed to save you in time. You being a speedster, suffered the worst. No food, no water, you couldn't heal at a normal rate. It took me Five days to get back to an almost normal state. I'm still on recovery stage. So is Superboy. Everyone else is pretty much fine. Shaken up, but fine."
I nod. That information was hard to take in. "Wait. Where was Superboy all That time? We couldn't see him at all..."
"He was in another room in the submarine. With kryptonite. He was close to dead when Superman found him."
"Kryptonite? But Superman can't handle that stuff either!"
"I know. He crawled inside to get Superboy and crawled back out, then took him back here to the watchtower. He's agreed to be Superboy's mentor."
I grin. Finally, Superboy would get Superman as his mentor. "I guess the prank worked." I joke. Artemis gives me a questioning look but says nothing.
"So...we're together now?" Artemis asks. "I guess," I reply. "When we're better, I'm taking you out." Artemis smiles.
"Sounds great! There will be lots of food right?" I ask. She rolls her eyes, laughing. "So where's everyone?" I ask. I'm curious to know what everyone else is up to since they're better.
"Robin's in Gotham, Kauldar in Atlantis, Zatanna with her dad while M'gann is on Mars. The Flash is coming to visit later. He's been sitting here with me for so long, not getting any sleep, so Batman and Superman forced him to take a power nap before he came back. Also, The league's giving us three months of rest. So no missions for that long." I groan. "Flash is gonna baby me all the time, I just know it."
Artemis sighs. "Don't even get me started on my mom. She's gonna make me stay home for like every day of my life now," "aww, but how about that date?" I ask, giving her puppy eyes. She snorts. "I'll think of something,"
"Artemis? Where's Roy?" She pauses. Uh oh. What happened? "He's....gone Wally. I'm sorry. Poison Ivy kissed him, and you know her kisses are poisonous and deadly. We couldn't get him the antidote in time. He...." Artemis trails off. Tears brim at the coner of my eyes. Roy, the 'big brother' of Me, Robin and Kauldar. He's gone. Just like that. I never got to say goodbye.
"On a happier note," Artemis says, sniffling. I look at her in surprise. She's crying. "Cheshire and him got married a few months back although they didn't tell us. She's expecting his kid." I widen my eyes in surprise.
Before I can say anything, Artemis already asks me another question. "Wally, did you really like M'gann last time? I mean, you kept flirting and hitting on her...so..." I smile. "I was trying to make you jelly Artemis,"
She stares at me in surprise. "Really?" I nod. She leans down and kisses me smack on the lips. I feel like I'm on cloud nine. Then she pulls away. I can't help but feel disappointed. Oh well, It was nice while it lasted.
"So, want me to take you to your parent's house? I mean, they must be worried sick about you. Not sure why Batman didn't let them come here though...Wally are you okay?"
I'm not. I'm really not. Just the mention of those...people makes me want to fume up. I spent most of my life running away from them. Someway or another, they just HAD to find another way back into my life.
"I'm fine. It's just...my parents died when I was Three, so.." I trail off. I hate lying to a girl like Artemis, but it had to be done. I'm not ready to face it. Not yet. "Oh. I'm sorry Wally. I promise I won't bring up the subject again." Artemis apologises. That's another thing I like about Artemis. She knows what it feels like to be pitied. It's a horrible feeling. At least she's not looking at me like I'm a Sick and abandoned cat or something like everyone else who I told the lie to do.
The door flings open and Uncle Barry is by my side in an instant. I hug him and he starts to ask me if I'm alright and stuff like that. Babying me. I hate it, but I play along because I owe him so much. The least I can do is let him be worried about me.
Artemis grins at the look on my face. She mouths the words 'see you later' and backs away before closing the door. I let Uncle Barry fuss over me and fill me in on what's been happening. So the Injustice league were sent to a top security jail and are never gonna get out for as long as they live. I can live with that.
A/N: I KNOW! CHEESY ENDING! Sorry I had no idea how to end it off....BUT I TRIED! You can't blame a girl for trying. So this is the end :/ Thats sad...
