Chapter 13

Three weeks had passed since the death of Flash and Shayera Hol. The League was morning their deaths in many different ways. Superman had almost killed Luther but didn't saying that he wasn't the man that killed President Luther but wished he was. Wonder Woman had destroyed the training room in the WatchTower. Green Lantern had left for Oa for a few days before returning. Martian ManHunter had retired to his room and refused to come out. Batman hadn't been on the WatchTower since Flash and Shayera had died. He was busy mending his relationship with Nightwing and Robin (Tim Drake). Losing Flash had made The Dark Knight realize just what he was missing out on.

The rest of the League were also grieving. Black Canary was talking with a lot of heroes about how they felt since the death of Flash and Shayera. Surprising many heroes did miss Shayera as they never did want to see her die but the League knew that bond that Flash and Shayera had. Someone had once pointed out that it was a bond between red heads.

Flash was also the only one that fully trusted Shayera when she came back to the League. Not even Green Lantern fully trusted his former lover. Many were civil to the Thangarian but many didn't trust her one bit.

It was that day that Flash and Shayera would be remembered and the day that who Flash was would be revealed to the world as it was a tradition when a hero dies that their Civilian Identity would be revealed to the world after the memorial ceremony so the world would know just how much a hero sacrificed.

Superman was at the podium in the WatchTower as the first ceremony would only be the Justice League and Heroes that Flash knew. The Rogues were also there with several heroes guarding them. The Rogues also wanted to honor Flash who they knew outside of the mask.

Just as Superman was about to speak, a bright light appeared from out of nowhere. Everyone stood in attack stances just in case of an attack. Imagine their surprise when a man dressed in a red body suit and a red haired winged woman were spit out of the light and landing on several of the Leaguers.

Once the dust so to speak had cleared and everyone eyes had reverted back to normal they looked to see who had come through the portal. The League couldn't believe what they were seeing. Holding their heads and groaning were the heroes that they were honoring.

"That was not fun!" Shayera yelled out as she held her head.

"I have to agree with ya on that one." Flash replied as he was holding his head.

"Flash? Shayera? It that really you?" Superman asked as he was still in his attack stance. He wanted to believe that the people that came through the strange portal were really their late friends.

"Who hell do you think it is?" Shayera yelled as she tried to stand up only to have her head spin causing her to fall back into Flash.

"It's them." Someone said in a deadpan voice.

An hour and several tests later, Wally and Shayera were deemed who everyone thought they were. Both red heads had a major headache but other than that they would be fine. Batman had decided that questions would be asked later when the two were feeling better. There were some voices of protest but stopped when The Dark Knight gave everyone the BatGlare.

Three days had passed and the Founders had decided that they needed answers. Imagine their surprised once again when the Founders of the Justice League walked into the Shayera's room to tell her that she would be needed to answer some questions that they saw Shayera kissing Flash in a passionate kiss.

After getting over the shock of seeing Flash and Shayera making out Batman decided to get out of character.

"Well, we now know that you two have gotten close during your little disappearance." Batman said very loudly which caused the red heads to separated in a flash to coin a phrase.

"We have a lot of explaining to do don't we?" Flash said with a sheepish smile on his face.

"Yes you do." Batman replied.

As soon as everyone was at the Founder Table, Wally began telling them what had happened minus that part that he and Shayera had landed in home Reality. That would be told a little later or when Batman realized he was lying and hiding many things.

"So the Reality that you were in they had another team made up of the sidekicks and Nightwing was the leader?" Superman asked.

"Yes."

"And they just welcomed you with open arms?" Batman asked not believing everything that Wally was saying. The speedster was hiding something.

"Well, they did have to calm Shay down as I was very weak when they found us. I won't repeat what she said she would do. But they did help us and the Martian ManHunter of that Reality did do a scan with out permission to see if we were who we said we were and if we really were heroes. The reason behind that was a few years before that they had a invasion by a alien race called The Reach. The League and Covert Op team called Young Justice managed to defeat the Reach but at the cost of a member of the team. It turned out that the hero that died was my counterpart who was slower than the other speedsters." Flash explained.

"Why don't you tell us what really happened, Flash. I know that you are lying about many things." Batman said as he glared at Wally. There was always something off about Wally when he first met the youngest member of the League. It was like Wally knew them before meeting them. But Batman also never felt that Wally was a threat.

Wally sighed. He knew that he couldn't fool Batman forever. Shayera reached over and grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze.

"You guys may not believe this but there is more to me than you think. 5 years ago I came here from another Reality, which turns out to be the Reality that Shay and I just came from." Wally said and began to explain everything about him.

"So let me get this straight, you ARE really from a alternate Reality. And in said Reality you were a member of the Covert Ops team?" Superman asked, not really wanting to believe that Flash was really from another Reality after the Justice Lords situation. But than again Wally wasn't anything like a Lord.

"Yeah. I know the thought of me being stealthy is kinda hard to believe but it's the truth. I was going to tell you guys but the time I was going to tell was about the time of the Justice Lords incident. I was afraid to tell you guys for fear of you treating me like a Lord. I couldn't take the chance. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you." Flash said with sadness in his voice.

"You have every right to do what you did. Given what had happened I say that you did the right thing." Superman pointed out which caused the other Founders to agree with him.

"Thanks guys."

"My question is why did you return here when you were home?" Green Lantern asked.

"Because that wasn't my home anymore. I may have been born in that Reality but it wasn't home anymore. This is my home now. I have a family with you guys. I didn't return because of the Lords but because you are my family and I had the blessing of my other family as well." Flash explained with a smile I admit that it was hard to leave my family but I had another family to think about. I left with none of the hard feelings that I had when I left that first time. Long story that I do not want to talk about." Flash replied to his friend's question.

"Well, that explains why you acted as if you knew who we were." Batman pointed out.

"Yeah. I grew up with many you guys as parental figures. Heck, Bats was like a father figure to me seeing as I knew who he was before many of the Team found out hence being best friend with Nightwing." Flash explained.

Many more questions were asked and Wally answered every one of them. He knew that the trust his friends had form with him would take a major beating but he was always be loyal to the League.

"Now that we have that explained, what is the deal with you and Shayera?" Wonder Woman asked.

Flash blushed a bit. He knew that he would have to explain to the League about his relationship with Shayera but he wasn't sure how he was going to do that.

"Let's just say that Wally helped me deal with a lot of things in my life. After the Invasion and my return, Wally really was the only one to FULLY accept me and forgive me. You can say that you guys trust me but I can see it in your eyes that you don't and I don't think you guys ever will and for some strange reason I okay with that. I guess you can say that over time I developed feelings for Wally but was to scared that it would ruin the friendship that I had with him. But it took me almost losing him and some headbutting so to speak from Wally's Aunt Iris to make me realized that I was in love with Wally." Shayera explained as she looked at the Founders but mostly at John Steward who face remained neutral.

"The thing with me was that it took my ex-girlfriend who was my girlfriend when I left my birth Reality to get my head out of my ass. I had feeling for Shay for a while but she was dating GL and I wanted her to be happy so I didn't interfere with that relationship. Than the invasion happened." Wally said.

"And you forgave her and voted to keep her in the League?" GL stated.

"Hey, I would have been a hypocrite if I couldn't forgive Shay for what she did when I forgave Artemis who is or was my girlfriend who keep her past a secret. She was the daughter of two assassin and the younger sister of one. Artemis wanted to have a better life so she came on to Young Justice as Green Arrow's niece. I hated her because I felt that she was replacing Speedy who went by Red Arrow who I saw as an older brother. I refuse to have anything to do with Artemis but over time and a incident with a Lord of Chaos who was a annoying little horn haired brat that I began to relaize that Artemis wasn't so bad. She like me had secrets when we were kids. Her father was Sportsmaster and he was beat Artemis and her sister Jade to death if they didn't so something right. My father would beat the crap out of me for no reason. So in a way we were two peas in a pot." Wally explained as he saw their confused faces.

"You were abused?"

"Yeah I was but my Aunt's husband who is the second Flash in my birth Reality fund out about the abuse and took me in and raised me as his own. I am not saying that there were easy times when I got older especially when I decided to leave the team. My uncle and I got into a heated argument and he hit me which was something that he swore that he would never do. Since that day I wanted nothing to do with my uncle but 5 years ago I found out that he and Aunt Iris were going to have twins and I knew that when the Reach decided to destroy Earth with a massive bomb like device that I couldn't let my cousin grow up with out a father again. I'll explain that later. But I knew going to that Arctic that I wasn't going to come back but I didn't care. Don and Dawn deserved to have their father in their lives." Flash told his friends.

"What did you mean 'again'?"

"My Aunt and Uncle's grandson Bart Allen came back 40 years from enslaved future to prevent the Reach from taking over. The day Bart came back was the day Flash died in a attack from a man called Neutron who was force to become a MetaHuman by the Reach as they had experimented on him and many others. Bart managed to alter history by saving his grandfather. Over time I found out that Bart had been raised by the survivors of the team and League but it was me who had raised his father and aunt and in turn raised him when Don had been killed. I know what your thinking 'how could the founders ever let the Reach win?' Well, in Bart's timeline the founders minus Flash and Aquaman were executed by the people of Rimdor for their crimes against the planet when the League had been under mind control by the Light. With 6 of the League power houses out of the way, the Reach were able take over Earth." Flash explained.

"Did you ever fully reconcile with your uncle?" Batman asked.

"Yeah, let me tell you it started with a fight but we did get the bond that he and I had since I was 4." Flash replied. "I also mended broken friendships. In a way going into the Speed Force was a blessing as I was able to properly say good-bye to family and friends and mend broken rifts. Plus tell Shay how I felt." Flash explained as he squeezed Shayera's hand.

"You were home. Why did you come back?" J'onn asked.

Two hour and LOTS of questions later.

The Founders were done grilling so to speak Flash and Shayera. They wished the two Red heads luck with their relationship. Everyone left the room but Green Lantern. Flash and Shayera knew that he was going to be mad but prayed that he wouldn't do any thing that he would regret.

John just looked at Flash with a hard look before he spoke. "If you ever do ANYTHING to hurt Shayera, there won't be a place where you can hide."

"GL, I would never even dream of hurting her."

"I know that but I had to say that as I still care about Shayera but not in a romantic sense." Green Lantern pointed out. "Good Luck both of you." With that John left the room.

Flash and Shayera looked at each other with a smile on their faces. It would seem that League was glad to have them back. Shayera was glad that everyone was glad that they was happy for them and John was alright with her dating Wally. Wally was glad to be home and that there were no more hard feelings with his family in his birth Reality.

Hand in hand, Wally and Shayera left the room and headed for their quarters to still recover. The two knew that life was going to be harder but they didn't care as they had each other.
