The young Justice are freaking out. Out of nowhere, Wally’s signal suddenly cut out and M’gann couldn’t feel his mind anywhere within the building. He wasn’t there, and no one saw, heard, or felt him leave. Just heard this bloodcurdling scream and then….nothing.
Now they have to admit to their mentors that they lost kid flash on a dare. Also, I might have Zetanna here at this point in the show (like if this is young Justice cartoon it’s before Wally realized M’gann and Conner were dating but after Zetanna arrived) and Zetanna might sense that there was some sort of mystical force.
Meanwhile, in the ghost zone, Wally learns a surprisingly amount of things about Dipstick, baby pop, welp, the ghost boy, and various other names he could call him by. They never say his actual name but from their stories, well, Wally wants to meet this person. (Also, it might be funny if they accidentally hype Danny up to be some sort of godlike being without realizing it. Oh yeah, he beat everyone in this prison. He has a magic box that can suck you into a void for hours with no escape but don’t worry! He lets you back out after about an hour. He’s best friends with the dragon princess and god of time. Known as the great One (if there are yetis present) defeated the previous king, and sometimes comes in to break them out. So yeah, it might be funny. Or they could talk about him as some annoying brat and Wally wonders how he’s even alive. Or both.)
So Anyways, this then begins the various attempts at getting Wally out of prison and everyone forgets humans are considered ghosts in the zone. Like they go through all these attempts but fail and then Wally, in despair, starts complaining that he’s never getting out of here and leans against the wall, only to fall right through. Ember smacks her forehead. “Oh yeah! That was a thing!” And that’s how he escapes. They just shove him through a wall and say to go find the dipstick. He’ll take him home. Ok, great. WHO WAS THE DIPSTICK?! THEY NEVER EXPLAINED! And then he’s chucked right out of the prison by Skulker.
And humans can’t fly. They forgot about that part.
And Young Justice is still freaking out because it’s been hours. Or better yet, they finally manage to get into the prison with Zetanna’s help (going to her because they don’t want to admit to their mentors that they lost kid flash to a dare) and so right when Wally gets chcuked out, a new portal opens up and drops the rest of the young Justice to the prison.
The ghosts just look at them deadpan like ‘really?
Kid Flash & the Prison.
Wally West doesn't believe in the supernatural.
Aliens? Sure. Atlanteans? Understandable. Clones? Yes, makes perfect sense.
Magic and ghosts? Party tricks.
It's not real, and it never will be.
That's the only reason he accepted the stupid bet. He knows Robin was just trying to rile him up, but he couldn't help it.
M'gann was so sure it was haunted. Swore up and down that it just didn't feel right, and tried to talk Wally out of it.
He wasn't going to wuss out in front of her. So he went in. He took up the bet and went inside the haunted old prison.
An hour. He just had to survive an hour in the creaky, dark, damp building.
That can't be so hard, right?
He steeled himself, laughed of the concerned looks, and went straight in. Ignoring the looming voice in the back of his head telling him to turn away.
The heavy doors slammed shut behind him, a cold chill filled the air, and...
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Wally could hear the slight dripping of an old pipe somewhere, but that was all.
The prison was just that. An old abandoned prison, falling apart on it's edges. That was it. Nothing more nothing less, and Wally laughed at himself for his stupid fear.
He zoomed through the building, going into every room. Looking at every nook and cranny. Taking pictures so make sure no one could say he stayed huddle at the door.
It wasn't until he reached the Warden's office that something happened.
It wasn't a big deal, Wally was just certain a draft knocked over one of those rotten wooden shelves. That's what the crash was, no need to fret. Wally absolutely didn't jump at the sound.
He wrapped his hand around the doorknob, and pulled...
Nothing happened. The door refused to open. The knob turned, it wasn't locked. Yet it felt like door might be barricaded, so tightly that Wally couldn't even shove it an inch.
It only made Wally want to get in even more. He's been to every other inch of this prison, he wasn't going to let a rotten door stop him.
But then it happened. Translucent glowing green arms shot out of the wooden door, gripping at Wally's skin in an ice cold and bruising grasp.
He didn't scream. No, Wally shouted. That's all he did. It was manly, 100%, he just got a little jump scared that's it.
His comm crackled to life, and Wally could hear the voices of his team through thick static. He could barely make it out, what with trying not to get pulled into the door.
The old rotten door wasn't a door anymore. It swirled a glowing green and purple color, and the presence of it sent a chill down Wally's spine.
This time, as Wally felt the floor slipping from under him, Wally screamed. A blood curdling sound because this wasn't supposed to happen.
The speedster wasn't sure if he had just closed his eyes, or if he passed out. Yet, when he opened his eyes again he was in a prison.
A prison. Not The Prison.
The walls were a sickly purple grey, the sky above him was inky black with the occasional streak of green. And Wally realized very quickly, he wasn't on Earth anymore.
Maybe he should have been more concerned by the green beings dressed in riot gear circling around him. Or the fact that he was now wearing a grey and black jumpsuit, his super suit and mask completely missing.
But no. No the thing that sent a numbing wave of dread through was the man.
The man, who could barely be called a man, that loomed over him. Dressed in white and black suit. Whose skin was a deathly white.
An almost skeletal look to his face, yet Wally didn't doubt he strength and power in that man.
The man who called himself Warden Walker.
Walker wasted no time in listening a startling list of rules Wally had broken. Rules that would lead him to spend much too long trapped in this ghostly prison.
As much as Wally hated to admit it, that's what it was. Ghosts.
And he had no clue how to get free. Even as he was changed, and lead around the prison. To the mess hall. Even as Wally started down at the food that looked absolutely radioactive.
In this moment, Wally realized how screwed he truly was. Terrified of what would happen next. Would his friends try going into the prison after him?
How much time has even passed? Would his friends end up trapped here with him? Would they get worse treatment? How could a human be in a ghost prison?!
His spiraling panic and stressed came to a complete halt when she sat down. Grey skin and firey blue hair, Wally couldn't help but find her beauty enticing.
Her boyfriend, however, looked as if he could snap Wally in two. Looming forming, looking to be a metallic suit and firey green mohawk.
Wally really thought he was going to get the weirdest beat down of his life.
Except the conversation quickly shifter a plan for a riot. Talk of how to get Wally out of there. Leaving the speedster absolutely flabbergasted. Why would they help?
Every time Wally tried to ask the ghosts why, they kept brushing him off. Until finally he got an answer from Ember. Which only left him with more questions.
"Because the dipstick would be a bigger pain if we let a human stay here."
