Episode/Chapter 21 - Home Sweet Home
"Geez, what do you have in here?!" Bart strained as he picked up a cardboard box and tried to carry it outside.
"Oh, those? Not sure. Either the picture frames, or Artemis' clothes..." Wally replied outside. He looked back at his and Artemis' rented dual-house in Palo Alto, "we're finally getting out of this dump..."
"I don't see what's so bad about Palo Alto, really." Dick said as he walked out with another box.
"I meant the house. It was kinda bothersome sharing a dual-house with someone..." Wally said as he picked up another box and followed Dick and Bart to the moving truck, "you guys want to catch some lunch with us after? Artemis is going to meet us at the new house, so we thought a late lunch wouldn't hurt."
"I'd love to, but I've already got something I need to catch up on." Dick shook his head, "we're so behind on Red X, he's probably already a mile ahead of us. And Robin says he has something on Red X, which is rather suspicious to me..."
"And I've got something with Chris." Bart smirked.
"That's fine. Thanks for the help guys. Really couldn't have done any of this without your guys' help."
"Hey, that's what friends are for." Dick gave Wally a fist-bump, "so I'll be headed off, then."
"Same. See ya later, KF!" Bart said as he ran off, and Dick mounted his motorcycle and drove off. Wally nodded as the truck driver slammed the door of the truck shut and drove off to their new house in New York.

"So I just got a call from the moving team. They're going to have to bring everything by plane since it's from California to New York..." Artemis said on the phone as she washed her plate in the sink at the cave.
"Yeah. So they should get to the Chicago Airport by nine tonight." Wally explained on the other end, "how are you feeling?"
"Nervous, but excited at the same time! Things are finally falling into place." Artemis smiled to herself as she turned the water off and sat on the couch next to their dog, Bruce.
"Just the way we want them to." Wally added, "look, I need to hang up for a second. I'll get back to you in... A few seconds. I'm hanging up now."
"O-okay..." Artemis replied, a little bit confused.
"Recognized, Kid Flash, B03." The computer announced. Artemis stood up and turned to the doorway, chuckling a little as Wally walked in.
"Hey, Babe." Wally smiled as she ran up to him and they hugged. Bruce ran up to them, and Wally picked him up, "I really meant to ask how wedding preparations are going."
"We've got the music, venue in New York, reception, catering..."
"Oh, can't forget the food!" Wally laughed, "should we go check out the house?"
"Sure, why not. Bruce could use a walk." Artemis shrugged as they headed to the Zeta tubes and left for New York.

"Why are we here?" Nightwing asked Robin as they stepped out onto the roof of Wayne Enterprises in Gotham.
"Because this is my lead on Red X." Robin said as they stopped at the center. Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of them.
"Dick Grayson." Red X chuckled as he crossed his arms, "so very nice to see you again."
"Feelings not so mutual." Nightwing said as he got out his black metal eskrima sticks.
"Whoa, whoa, easy tiger. I'm not here to fight." Red X held his hands up in surrender, "the little guy here wanted to set up this meeting."
Nightwing turned to Robin, who just gestured for Nightwing to talk to Red X.
"Fine. But really, what is there to talk about?" Nightwing crossed his arms as he stood up to Red X.
"Ha, 'what is there to talk about'?!" Red X laughed, "you have no idea, my dear friend."
