This is mainly for the challenge by lizard-senpai on this website. Hope you enjoy! Since I don't really do long one-shots or anything, this'll be a multi-chapter thing.

Please note that this takes place any time before Enies Lobby and sometime after the second season of Young Justice. Don't worry, I have reasons for the timeline. You..may or may not see.

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece or Young Justice.

Wally West would like to say he was perfect. Pitch perfect. Not really just him-he made that mistake and had to pay for it with his (former) teammates who knows how many times?-, but his life really was excellent. He and Artemis were more or less retired, living the good life in their own home without the possibility of villains trying to kill them.

Then again, that was probably always a possibility.

Until mere seconds ago.

Mere seconds, or so it must have felt like.

He thought he was dead. It was simple as that. He felt a bit like he was floating, honestly. He heard that in books, that was what it was like. Just floating around for a while, yada-yada-yada.

Artemis would be so sad….

Sorry babe….

He could think, too. It reminded him of a movie every second, or a book that Zatanna or M'gann would have told him about. He was pretty sure the latter had been talking about 93 Clues…..or was it 39 Clues? Yeah, the latter sounded a bit more right, and he probably should have payed more attention.

He probably wouldn't get the chance to read it. Or do a hell of a lot of other things…

Never mind sad, Artemis would probably be pretty mad too, now that he thought about it.

On another note….. was this all death was like? Eternally floating around? Not even an after life? Weird. He'd expect to float around in the blackness, before ending up someplace else. Somehow, someway. Sorry way to spend…er, death? It was, if anything, a little hard for Wally to wrap his head around. He had never thought he'd be dying so soon, at his, ahem, young age. He was only 21!

Or had been, however that went he had no idea.

So, while he finally got used to the idea of just floating around….

He was falling,

Usopp was a known liar. His lies were crazy, wild, pretty much all over the place. Far-fetched, and he knew it. Other people could tell he was lying pretty well too, in most cases. Things like Your knees are shaking, or Liar!

They said it so often, and quite often enough. ''They'' included his crewmates ("Vice-Captain Usopp, to you!….of course, that was entirely ignored.), and pretty much everyone that had been in Syrup Village. Except for the three former Usopp Pirates, he was hardly believed in anything. Not that he could bla me anyone, of course, but he still talked that way. All the time.

So why would someone believe the truth? Hm. Maybe it was how serious he was, though panicked might cover it better.

''Someone's falling from the sky!"

And thus, it begins. Nothing too much, but it's just a prologue. (I realize that if I used prologue's more often in my stories, it might help my huge plot ideas or at least give it a push. Oh well.)
