“You never let Wally have a choice, Bruce!” Artemis exclaimed. “He’s a grown man! Not some child for you to boss around!”
“No,” Wally said quietly, still looking at the suit. “Barry and Bruce are right. The world will always need a speedster. I have to take up the mantle.”
Batman touched his comm. He sighed. “I think some other people need some debriefing. Back in an hour.”
“So, you’re going back?” Artemis asked as the Dark Knight’s footsteps faded away.
In the distance, the zeta hummed to life. “Yes,” Wally said. “I have to. But I want to ask you a favor too.”
“Anything for you.” Artemis said, wrapping her arm around her husband.
“I…If it’s not too much trouble…I kinda want you to…sorta…come back with me.”
Artemis was silent and shocked for a moment before nodding and kissing him on the lips. “Absolutely.”
“Which brings up the question what you’re gonna call yourself.” Wally said with a grin. “I personally would suggest ‘hot-chick’ but that gives too much away.”
“Funny guy.” Artemis said, smirking and punching him lightly in the shoulder.
“No,” Wally said quietly, still looking at the suit. “Barry and Bruce are right. The world will always need a speedster. I have to take up the mantle.”
