Hello everyone. Here is a new story that I found on Yj Anon meme. The author of the prompt was anonymous. I hope that you will like this story. I do not know how long this story will be. thanks
Chapter 1
Wally let out a scream as he watched Artemis get evaporated into thin air. He couldn't believe that Artemis had been killed and it was his fault. He wasn't fast enough. He should have been able to save Artemis but he couldn't.
Wally said that every single alien was dead. That was something that he would later regret as Conner and M'gann were aliens and they were his friends. Something snapped inside of Wally and he didn't know what. All he felt was an uncontrollable amount of energy in his body. The young speedster felt so much anger and rage that he ran away from his friends faster than anyone had ever seen him.
Wally ran so fast that he didn't realized that he realized that the world was disappearing. As soon as he realized that he was disappearing it was too late to do anything. Wally felt himself be pulled into something and for some reason the young speedster felt at peace. He wanted to go where ever he was being sucked into.
Wally could vaguely recall his friends yelling at him to stop running but he couldn't and didn't want to. He was a peace. He just wished that Artemis was alive.
Wally didn't know how long he was in what he called Paradise as he felt at peace no matter where he went. Then suddenly he felt shaking and heard a voice only to realize that it felt like that someone was shaking him awake. Wally didn't want to leave where he was at. He was happy, but something told him that he would be even more happier if followed the voice.
So the young speedster followed the voice that was calling him. Wally didn't know how long it was until he reached a light and heard the voice one again telling him to come back. Wally walked into the light and waited for something to happen.
The next thing Wally knew was that he had opened up his eyes and looked up to see the very concerned faces of his uncle whose cowl's was off and his friends.
"Wally! You're alive." Wally heard Barry's voice yelled out.
"What do you mean 'I'm Alive'?" Wally asked as he was gently pulled into a sitting position. When they did that, Wally felt his head start to spin. What the heck had happened?
"Wally, what is the last thing that you remember?" Manhunter asked as he walked over to where Wally was sitting with his head between his legs as The Older Martian felt that the young speedster was getting sick.
"I remember the Team fighting some Aliens and then we went to the Arctic to fight them and then Artemis getting killed." Wally replied as he suddenly jumped off of the metal bed he was on. "ARTEMIS! What happened to Artemis?!" Wally yelled only to have hand gently push him back down on the bed.
"Wally, calm down! Artemis is safe. In fact everyone is safe." Flash told his nephew as he pushed the red head back on the bed. The team had been order out the room so that the adults could tend to Wally.
"How can that be? I saw her be evaporated in front of me." Wally yelled out.
"Wally, what you saw was only an illusion brought on by a training exercise." J'onn told the young speedster who just looked at him.
"What?"
"We decided to do a failsafe exercise. We had Martian Manhunter put you and team in a mental simulation where no matter what you did it the situation would get worse. You went in knowing of that you were in a mental simulation but you didn't know about that failsafe. We know that Artemis's 'death' cause M'gann's subconscious to think that the situation was real. Artemis woke up just after her 'death'. But something else happened in the simulation." Batman told the speedster who looked exhausted but the Bat knew that he had to get what happened in the failsafe out now while the memories were still fresh.
Wally's eyes went wide at the last sentence that Batman had said. He knew what The Bat was talking about.
"I really don't remember much. All I can really remember is when I saw Artemis 'die' something inside of me snapped and I just wanted to get away from the pain and hurt. The next thing I knew I was in paradise and didn't want to leave." Wally explained.
"Wally, your body began to disappear. J'onn couldn't feel your mind anymore after you took off." Flash said with a worry look on his face.
Wally once again froze. He remembered disappearing a few minutes into his run. Did what had happen to him happen in the real world? Wally wasn't sure that he really wanted to know.
"What do you think happened? I've ran so fast that I think I went faster than Uncle Barry." Wally asked as he was allowed sit back up.
"I believe that given Artemis's 'death' so to speak and the fact that you felt that you could have saved her but were too slow, you may have broken the mental barrier that you put on yourself when first got your powers saying that you would never be as fast as me." Flash replied as he placed a hand on his nephew's shoulder, gently squeezing it.
Wally knew of the mental barrier that he had or did have. Wally had told himself several times that he could never be as fast as Flash no matter what he did. But could Artemis's 'death' in the simulation cause that barrier to break?
"It's it quiet possible that could be the reason Wally." J'onn pointed out as he felt the thoughts come from the young speedster who was confused and scared.
"Is there anything else that you can remember about what happened?" Flash asked concerned.
Wally thought for a moment before he told then that he could tell that he was disappearing but didn't want to stop as it was paradise where he going.
Flash's eyes went wide. He told Red Tornado to keep an eye on Wally for a moment while he went to talk to the other Leaguers.
"What is your take on what is going on, Flash?" Batman asked knowing that Barry would have more information on what had happened to Wally.
"It sounds like from what Wally told us is that the Mental Barrier he created when he first got his powers at 8 may have been broken by Artemis dying in the simulation. Which may or may not be a good thing." Flash explained.
"What do you mean by that?" Batman asked as he shot a glance back at Wally who was eating something that the android had given him.
"Speedsters always have to be careful about how fast we go or we could end up in something called a Speed Force which is a paradise for us. My guess is that Wally went so fast that like I said the Mental Barrier that he sent up to make sure he is never as fast as me was broken. Wally may have been partly in the Speed Force which from what I heard is hard to get out of." Flash told the small group.
"So if Wally was in this Speed Force? How did he get out of it?" J'onn asked.
"My wild guess is that when we started to call him to come back he may not have been fully in the Speed Force. But that is just a guess." Flash replied.
"Which means that Wally may be in danger if he goes to fast of going back into the Speed Force?" Batman asked which was rare for The Dark Knight to ask something that he didn't know that answer to.
"Probably." Flash said.
"I would suggest that we keep an eye on Wally for the time being and do let him know that we are watching him. We almost lost him in a simulation and I do not plan on losing Wally in real life." Batman told the group.
"But first thing first. We need to let the team know that Wally is safe and alright for the moment." J'onn told the group.
"Agreed"
Next chapter, the team find out just what cause Wally to disappear.
Ideas are welcomed anytime. Also ideas on the speed force would be great as I know enough about it but any more would be great. Thanks
REVIEWS WOULD BE GREAT.
