Wally/Artemis - Paralysis (repost) anonymous April 4 2011, 23:35:15 UTC
So I'm in the mood for some heavy-duty angst. Inspired by a prompt on the other meme, but not a repost.

The team is enjoying some much-needed downtime in the form of a camping trip when it all goes horribly wrong. Artemis goes swimming, dives into a lake, and doesn't resurface. Unknown to the rest of the team, she hit her head on a submerged rock and broke her neck. After realizing something's wrong, Wally pulls her out. She's terrified and screaming that she can't move.

At the hospital, it's discovered that she's injured her spinal cord. She's permanently paralyzed from the neck down. For all the League's concern about putting teenagers in the line of fire, it was a simple off-duty accident that resulted in the team's most devastating moment.

From there, I'd love to see the team adjust to these events with a focus on Wally and Artemis figuring out their relationship in the aftermath of her injury. He's trying to help her however he can, and she absolutely hates being unable to take care of herself. Slowly, she adjusts to her paralysis and stops pushing Wally away.

I'd like a slightly hopeful, sweet ending if possible. I don't really want her to get movement back, but I would love it if she wound up becoming the team's "Oracle" eventually.

(Bonus points for any interaction with her mom, since that was revealed after the original post)
