A/N: Hello everyone!

I'm really glad that everyone has been enjoying the chapters I've posted so far (despite it being only three of them).

I hadn't expected to get so many comments, and I really appreciate them. They're a real motivator and they also help me to see how the story is being perceived.

Addressing Comments:

Guest [Chapter 2, August 22, 2017]: I appreciate the heads up. Though I think I may keep it the way it is..possibly.

F R: I'm sorry about the lack of updates. I've been really busy the past couple of years. I used to wonder what kept authors from updating after years, and now I understand, I really do. Life gets in the way. I went from highschool, to a couple hiatus moments, to then college preparation. Now I'm in college and I'm striving for all A's. So that's a lot, excluding other hectic factors of my life. Despite all that though, I will do my best to keep updating this story as much as possible and hope you enjoy the future chapters. I only ask your patience, because if isn't school or life keeping me busy, then it's my other stories. My leading and most popular one, "Ephyra", is another big one I do my best to keep updating and it takes a lot more work than "Gender Switch", so it'll be a battle of attention between the two. I hope to at least, starting off for now, have a constant update of at least once a month. And as I get the hang of things, I hope to shift to twice a month, three times a month, and if fate is on my side, then something more constant/frequent. It's my hope (and I will do/try my hardest) to avoid another year, or 2 year update.

Guest: I am truly honored and inspired to have been a inspiration for you to write your own story. That's amazing! I wouldn't mind reading it if you're alright with that. Thank you so much for your kind words! ^_^

To everyone who has commented, or is just simply reading, I will do my best to continue to make this story something you can all still enjoy. ^_^

That being said: Onto the chapter!


KID FLASH'S ROOM


Kid Flash and his counterpart were finishing up their respective comics, as they'd gradually descended into a repetitive, addictive snack-tossing contest. They'd been pretty silent for the most part, save for the quick exchanges or remarks on certain characters in the comics they were reading. His counterpart was growing a bit impatient at the same time he was, when they both realized they hadn't even bothered exchanging each others' names.

This was partly due to arguments that took place. Both speedsters seemed to have a clear similarity in both possessing major egos in their abilities. Something they couldn't even put aside long enough to realize that they were basically the same person.

Reading comics and munching on snacks, had eased any argumentative-tensions for a while. It also helped that both had heard Apollo and Artemis shout at them to "shut up". Apparently, the walls weren't all too thick. Or maybe the archers had been walking by. Either way, the speedsters wouldn't risk rising the ire of either one of the blondes.

"Mmph," Kid Flash mumbled around a mouthful of Cheez-Its, "I got one! Speed round, but focused on our lives."

His counterpart snorted, tossing the comic aside on his bed. "I'm down for that. Though, thought we had already done that..." she trailed off a bit confused.

It was true though, they had exchanged information about their respective dimensions but mostly about villains, the team, and just making extra-sure that certain aspects were still present. A prime, and initial, example being the insurance that pizza and Big Belly Burger were still present in their respective dimensions.

Clearly neither of them understood, or paid close attention to the explanation of dimensions. Their defense would simply, and likely, be that both were just making absolutely sure.

"Yeah, but more personal – it gets boring talking about the baddies all the time. Plus you never know. The Supes from your dimension gets along with her Superman right?"

"Superwoman," the female speedster corrected. "And yes, she does. Yours doesn't, then? Not even a little?"

Kid Flash shakes his head, shoving a handful of the orange, crunchy crackers into his mouth. "Not that I know of. It gets broodier than Batman himself when those two interact or even get near each other."

"Yeesh, that sounds like it sucks," she says, leaning over from her position at the end of his bed; her hand dives into the box of crackers and takes out a handful, shoving it in her mouth as well.

Kid Flash remained standing, after his counterpart got enough to munch on. He used his free hand to pull back the mask of his suit. After a heartbeat his counterpart did the same, revealing her features more clearly.

She had the same, spiky red hair as her counterpart, except she kept hers styled a bit higher than her shoulders, but lower than her ears. She also had freckles that were in the same place as her counterpart's; even her green eyes were the same shade.

"Ahem."

Kid Flash raised an eyebrow at his counterpart as she cleared her throat shortly before speaking.

"So I'm Willacy; Willacy Genevieve West," she chirped, tossing her head back to catch two chips she'd tossed into the air and caught in her mouth. "But you can call me Willa," she mumbles around the food. "Everyone does."

"Wallace Rudolph West," he replied, stuffing his mouth full with more chips. "Wally," he mumbles before swallowing. His eyes were glittering with amusement and slight laughter. "What kind of a name is Willacy?"

"I wouldn't be judging, Rudolph," Willa retorts with a snort. "At least part of my name isn't after a reindeer."

"Alright, Genevieve," he sneered a little. "What, did your parents just pick up a book of old, English-proper names and randomly pick one?"

"Hey! My parents knew what they were doing. Afterall, it resulted in one genius-kick-butt superhero," Willa boasted, looking smug.

Wally rolls his eyes. "I'm pretty sure, I'm smarter, thank-you-very-much."

"We're the same person you idiot. But if you want to go there, then it can be argued, girls are smarter," she shot back.

"Not true!" he snapped.

His counterpart was ignoring him. "Girls go to college to get more knowledge; boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider," she remarks in a sing-song tone.

"Not! Boys rule! Girls drool!" Wally fired back irritably.

"Reverse the nouns and you might get the saying right," she snorted, though irritation lingered in her tone.

"Kid Idiot!" Wally shouted.

"Kid Stupid!" Was his counterpart's rebuttal.

Both blinked dumbfounded at one another and then growled simultaneously.

"Don't steal Apollo's insult!" and "Don't steal Artemis's insult!" were shouted at the same time.

Both blinked and Willa got her words out first, sounding offended and annoyed.

"What are you talking about. That's what Apollo says!"

"No," Wally bit out just as annoyed, "That's what Artemis says!"

"Oh, so what, you like being called that by her?" His counterpart snorts.

Wally's face flushes faintly with slight color on his freckled cheeks. "Pfft! N-No! I just know she says it and it's her phrase – no one else's."

"Funny," Willa responds dryly. "Sounds like you don't mind it."

"O-Oh and you don't either?!"

Willa blinks startled at her counterpart's outburst.

"N-Not true!" She spluttered, unsure of what to say. "I-It's – I – you – shut up!" she snaps finally. "It's just a habit. But either way, it's Apollo's."

"Yeah, well technically, Apollo is Artemis, and I say the Artemis-version is better."

"Keep thinking that," she snorts.

"Whatever stupid," he mutters, suddenly feeling embarrassed.

Wally noticed his counterpart trying to downplay the flushed cheeks she had as he caught her muttered, "your face is stupid".

"Look," she says with a huffy sigh, standing up from the bed. "Let's just agree, that Artemis is better in your dimension, but in Apollo is better in mine."

Wally opened his mouth, but Willa cut him off quickly raising her hand. "Ah-ah-ah! We both know we'll never agree on this, but if we continue, we'll be here all day. And as much as I like Cheez-Its. I'd prefer something more...filling."

Wally let out a slight "hmph", but otherwise he didn't argue or say much in response for a couple heartbeats, until he finally let out a sigh.

"Alright. Come on. Race you to the kitchen then," he conceded.

Willa beamed, mostly with triumph. Technically, in her opinion, she had gotten the last word in their little bickering.

"Race you!"

Before "you" was even fully out, Willa had sped off, leaving Wally's door open. Wally snorted and sped after his counterpart.

Both of the speedsters arrived around the same time in the kitchen. Willa took a seat on one of the stools, and rapidly tapped her fingers against the island counter top.

Wally set out supplies to make several peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Both were silent as they made their sandwiches, but only for a good minute. They were each starting on their fourth sandwich; spreading the peanut butter and jelly with familiar expertise of having done the action many times before.

"So...are you and Artemis..."

Wally blinked and then blushed crimson. "What?! No! Ha! No!" he snorted quickly, and quite unconvincingly. "Not at all. She's...annoying..." he finished lamely.

For once there wasn't a fast retort from Willa, just silence, for a few heartbeats. "Was your excuse in your therapy session as lame as that one?" She remarked dryly, though her tone held some amusement.

Wally's attention snapped from his sandwich-making to his counterpart, who had also paused in her PB&J-duty. Her expression looked a bit sheepish, probably from the blunt way she approached the topic; and her eyes held understanding and curiosity.

Wally still eyed her a bit and she glanced down and continued using a butter knife to spread peanut butter on one side of toast.

"We both went through the simulation, Wally; I'm willing to bet we all went through the same things, too. The last to die was Mister Martian – Miss Martian, for you guys, I guess – and the first was Apollo."

Willa spared a glance up to meet Wally's eyes. The male speedster remained silent.

Willa glanced back down and continued her task. "I assume that was Artemis for you." She turns and begins spreading jelly on the opposite side.

"Stop me if this sounds familiar," Willa remarks calmly, though her tone wavered a little. "You're in an icy landscape. Just took down an alien ship, and the team's martian is working on syncing ships and stuff."

Wally clenched his jaw at the familiar description, and the memories from the failed simulation swam back to the surface.

"Team's archer is running over from their ambushing position – heading right for the ship." Willa paused, before setting her knife aside and pressing the slices of bread together forming her fourth sandwich, and setting it ontop of the plate, with the other three.

"They run, unaware of the partially functioning ship taking aim, and then: 'Apollo behind you' – " Wally jumped slightly at Willa's sudden, voice-change to mimic that of her teammates, " – 'APOLLO!'"

Wally could only blink at Willa, who wasn't making eye contact and instead focusing on getting the last two slices for her fifth sandwich.

"You shouted his name, echoing Miss – Mister Martian. But he was gone...just..."

Willa nodded, not reaching for the butter knife to finish her sandwich. She looked up and met Wally's gaze.

"During the therapy session, Black Canary called me out a little, but I wasn't admitting it," Wally said, before glancing away. "I..."

"You just can't explain it," she finished for him. Wally lets out a frustrated, amused-like sound, as if to say she was spot on.

Willa laughed a little. "Yeah, I know how that feels. I think our Black Canary would be Black Hawk – he said it so calmly and stuff, that I almost choked on my popcorn."

Wally laughed after realizing he'd been eating popcorn as well. "I nearly choked on mine, too," he chuckled.

Willa soon joined in at the similarity and shook her head.

Both speedsters took a slight breath and then sighed, before sharing a glance at their matching actions; both smiled a little.

"Archers," Wally snorted.

"Right?" Willa snorted in amusement.

The speedsters gave a slight shake of their heads with small smiles and went back to their sandwich making – not at all hearing the affection tinging the single word they each said.

Within the span of 5 minutes they had finished and had even begun chatting idly a bit more about their lives.

Wally even found out that their lives were exactly the same for the most part. The only differences other than gender seemed to be their names.

He found out that Willa's parents, were Mason and Rosaline West. He even learned that like Artemis, Apollo's hero name was his actual name.

Both speedsters had sped over to the living room area after they finished eating, and had begun idly flipping through channels looking for something good.

"I still can't believe Uncle Barry has the name Barbara there," he snorted, speeding around the couch, and then sliding to the floor to join his counterpart.

It was Willa's turn to snort at Wally's words; letting out a little laugh as she did so. "What a coincidence, because I was just thinking I can't believe that Aunt Barb's GB name would be Barry."

"Hey! That's my uncle you're making fun of," Wally jokes, giving Willa a nudge to the side of her arm with his elbow.

Willa nudges Wally back, laughing. "Oh? Then don't make fun of my aunt."

Wally rolled his eyes. "Fine, fine. Go on and choose a channel already."

"I am," she said with a roll of her eyes, "geez, hold your horses."

Less than thirty seconds later, Wally was ready for a channel to be chosen.

"Alright, give it here," he announced, reaching for it, only to have it kept from him. "Come on Willa," he grunts, reaching over her to get it, but she stretched out her arm to keep the remote out of his reach.

"No! I have it!" Willa shouted.

"You're taking to long!" Wally shouted back.

The male speedster managed to snag the remote from his counterpart and began flipping channels, only to feel himself knocked over onto his side.

"Get off, Willa!" Wally shouted, trying to keep the remote out of reach.

"Gimme!" Willa shouted.

"No! You're too slow!"

"You're face is slow!"

"That makes no sense!"

"You make no sense!"

"You're just wasting time!"

"I wanna play video games!" Willa announced during their mini fight for control of the TV.

The two speedsters tussled, and the channels flipped every now and then through the struggle to win the remote.

Both speedsters completely oblivious to two of their teammates who were watching them with blank expressions.

Both of the Kryptonians watched the speedsters fight, from their place on the couch. They'd come in a couple seconds after the arguing and fighting had begun. They glanced at each other and just watched the speedsters, rather than the TV.


A/N: So that's the chapter guys.

Tell me what you think about it so far. I know it's been a while, so I'm a bit rusty (at least that's how I feel).

I hope the ending worked and wasn't too random or "bleh", or "what the hell". If it was, feel free to let me know and I'll do my best to get things flowing a bit better.

Alrighty then, that being said. . . the next chapter will be based on our Kryptonians. It's likely to be a pretty short chapter, but I'll do my best to make it decent, or not too boring anyways...

I just hope you bear with me. . .

Anywho . . .

Is everyone excited for Young Justice Season 3?! I know I am! I already watched a clip that was posted on YouTube showing Nightwing and Oracle interacting while on a mission. It was short, but still so much worth it. I hope there are more clips too (preferably of Artemis).

Well that's all everyone.

Until next time guys! ^_^
