—um. No, no one... [ she looks around a little in nervousness, as if half-expecting the rest of the team to suddenly pop up out of the corners and catch them.

she misreads the panic on his face, though, and hastily waves her hands in the air to try and placate him. ]

I can do this without them — I don't need a babysitter. It'll be fine. You'll be fine. I promise.

[ wally nods, relaxes a little. ]

Alright. I trust you.

[ he leaves off the 'babe' just to show he's serious. ]

Let's do this.

[ the smile she gives him is nothing short of grateful. that, at this point, he barely even knows her, but still trusts her with something so precious... his trust is priceless, able to give her that boost in confidence that she needed. ]

Thanks, Wally.

[ she steps up then. with one hand on her temple, and another on his, she begins to concentrate. eyes turn a bright white as she starts to delve into his mind, and in turn, takes him a little into hers. he can see it, then, like multiple tv screen all around him, flashes of memory of a team he doesn't remember meeting.

she's careful to only give him what he needs... ]

[ the experience is... interesting to say the least. he doesn't quite know where he is, but megan is there, and there are flashes of things he didn't know he knew until just now. as he watches everything unfold, he starts to remember...

get on board, or get out of the way...

hello, megan!

cool, souvenir!

so now el luchador is our leader?

if dislike is the opposite of like, is disaster the opposite of aster? see, instead of things going wrong, they go right!

besides, i can't be mad at you, you gave me mouth to mouth!

fine! fine! i lied about believing in magic. but magic is the real lie, a major load...

so i'm your ninja boyfriend huh?

he's back in bialya, the events replaying themselves in his head, and then he's not. he's back in haven, with m'gann, with his team. he feels a little disoriented, reaching out to grab at m'gann's arm to steady himself, but otherwise he's fine. he feels... complete. ]

Whoa. That was... trippy.

[ as soon as his hand curls around her arm, she's there, a step closer, both hands up and on him to help keep him steady. it's the panic that fuels her, keeps her eyes wide and careful, looking over him for any signs of distress. worried she might have done something wrong, she's almost relieved for a typical wally response, casually underrating everything. ]

It can be, yeah... [ despite the little tremble in her tone, she looks so utterly relieved.

one hand settles over the hand he's got on her, while the other slips up to gently cup his cheek. she'd been so scared... ]

How do you feel?

[ his heart nearly stops when m'gann touches his cheek, because it wasn't until about five seconds ago that he had any idea how much he really likes this girl, superboy's glaring looks be damned. he tries to laugh off any awkwardness, smiling reassuringly back at her. ]

Better.

[ he hesitates for a split second. he could kiss her — almost does — but he doesn't. ]

Thank you.

[ it occurs to him then that he still doesn't actually remember zatanna, but he doesn't want to worry her about it right now. it seems like she's put herself through enough just doing this for him. ]

[ better. better. overcome with relief and joy, m'gann can't help but draw him into a hug, and while it might not be a kiss, it's definitely all-encompassing enough that he can't hope to get out of it any time soon. ]

Thank goodness...

[ he isn't exactly expecting the hug, but there's no way he doesn't appreciate it. he's a pretty huggy person himself, after all. he hugs her back, squeezing lightly. he could let himself indulge in this affection, but they should probably get going... ]

We should probably head back now, it's getting late.
