Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice,

'this is a spinoff of chapter 3 from my story 'Bonds' Basically, its an alternate ending to the episode Endgame'...what if someone had gotten in the way and Wally had lived...So, here we have it.

Dick's eyes widened as he saw the large bursts of lightning hit Wally, he knew his friend was dying. Visions of his family falling to their deaths, clouded his vision. He narrowed his eyes, when the jolts kept on hitting Wally, moments played in his mind over and over...no...he was not going to lose his best friend...he couldn't prevent his family's deaths, Jason's death or Tula's death...but he could prevent Wally's.

"Nightwing!" Called out Zatanna as the ex-boy wonder ran, He felt like his feet grew wings. He knew that Wally being a speedster, there was a very large chance he wouldn't be able to reach him...but he had to try...

He stopped and calculated when Wally would show up...when he heard his friend scream...He decided to just jump in...

"Dick !?" Yelled Wally as electricity shot through Dick's body...he screamed as pain ripped through him, making him feel like his body was on fire, while being simultaneously ripped to shreds. He fll to his hands and knees as the electricity shot at him, instead of Wally...he looked up as the giant boomtube began to get weaker...he smiled...and collapsed...the snow felt so...nice and cold...

"Dick, dude, please...Dick!" He heard Wally yell, as the darkness and the shadows begin to set in.

Dick looked up at Wally, who was looking at him with teary eyes...he smiled up at him.

"You're ok." Whispered Dick hoarsly, groaning as he struggled to move...his body hurt, and there was this overwhelmingly bad odor that smelt like burnt meat...overwhelmed...that word was strange.

"Wally, why isn't anyone whelmed?" He asked, his eyelids beginning to droop underneath the mask. Wally stifled a sob, and bit his lip, trying to keep the tears from falling he knew his best friend was dying...this...this wasn't supposed to happen. He was supposed to go in, stop it and save the world...then he and Artemis were supposed to go back into retirement, while Dick managed the team with Kaldur.

Dick was supposed to live...he was supposed to be the best man at Wally's wedding, he was supposed to be the godfather to Wally's kids, and Wally was going to be the best man at Dick's wedding, and be Dick's kid's godfather...Dick was supposed to embarass him at the reception when it was time to make the speeches, and Wally was supposed to return the favor.

He looked up as the others came rushing to his side...he turned away from Zatanna as she immediately knelt down and tried to preform healing spells in vain...

Wally gently picked him up, and ran...

Memories surfaced...

Their first meeting...their first mission together...Meeting Roy and Aqualad...getting to see the Hall of Justice...saving Superboy...meeting M'gann and forming the team...every single memory came full force...then came the bad ones...

Jason's death...Tula's death...leaving with Artemis and letting Dick manage things by himself...Tarantula taking advantage of Dick...the fight over Aqualad being a triple agent...he'd give anything to take it all back and be there for him...he looked down at Dick in his arms, clinging to life...

"C'mon buddy we're almost there, just please hold on just alittlebit more..." He whispered, groaning slightly, the lightning had zapped him as well...but he wasn't going to let his friend die...not again...he remembered that failsafe...he wasn't going through that again.

Suddenly he felt...faster...it was as if the energy from the zaps had given him another strong burst of adrenaline that made him go faster...he smiled...so this was what Bart and Barry must feel like.

"I'm a real speedster!" He exclaimed happily.

"Don't worry Dick, now help is definetly on the way." Said Wally proudly, as he sped into an office and set Dick down on the bed, before zipping back in with Dr. Thompkins.

"Kid Flash? what..." Leslie was interrupted by the smell of...burning meat. She turned to Nightwing and gasped...what happened?

She immediately got to work trying to take off his suit while Kid Flash explained everything. She could tell he was extremely worried about Dick...both stopped when they saw the severe burns on his body.

"But...how...I got zapped too." Said Wally in disbelief.

"A combination of your superspeed and healing abilities, you can heal yourself faster...not to mention, the kinetic energy of the sparks enhanced your powers, which would have made you heal even quicker than before...Dick is only human." Said Dr. Thompkins, immediately beginning to treat his wounds.

"Give it to me straight Doc...he's going to live right?" Asked Wally, desperately...he needed Dick to be ok. Leslie looked down at the ground.

"His wounds are very severe Kid,...his heart is beating...but its very faint...He might go into a coma soon." Said the doctor, Wally looked at Dick, his torso and arms were wrapped up in gauze bandages, and he was now hooked up to a respirator and heart moniter. He looked like he was asleep.

"I did this." Whispered Wally...if Dick hadn't pushed him out of the way...it would've been Wally there instead of Dick, he turned and sped off to go tell the others...he hoped they were prepared...

His eyes widened when he remembered that Batman was returning...who was going to tell him he might lose another son? That Tim and Babs might lose another brother? He sped off towards the rest of the team, He was greeted by Artemis wrapping her arms around him when he was there.

"Wally, what happened, are you ok? wh-" Artemis stopped when she saw Wally's red rimmed eyes...and she knew something was wrong.
