This isn't how it was supposed to happen! Wally's thoughts raced as he fought frantically against the emotions drowning him. Batman had revealed to the team that the second Robin, Jason, had died. Nightwing was AWOL, and Wally was freaking out.
Joker had killed Jason, and now Joker had mysteriously turned up dead too. They had proof that it hadn't been Batman who had killed him; and that was actually what had him worried.
Because if it hadn't been Batman, it must have been Nightwing. Oh, everyone was denying it right now, but Wally wasn't stupid.
Wally knew that no matter how angry Dick had been at Batman for the replacement, he liked the little twerp who had taken his mothers nickname(Dick's words, not Wally's). And Wally knew exactly how far Nightwing would go if he felt he had to. It didn't really surprise him, to be honest. From the first time Wally had met the cheery hero, he knew how fragile Dick's psyche was. He had lost his parents, lost his whole circus family, had watched countless people die as Robin, Had recently been fired and replaced by the man who had said he'd always be there, and had now lost his brother. It didn't seem so crazy that Nightwing would kill the clown when you put it in perspective. With all the psycho had put him through it's amazing it hadn't happened before. 'Beware the fury of a patient man.' Wally guessed.
So everyone was sure Nightwing was just grieving, but Wally was sure something more sinister had occurred.
Unfortunately, no one would listen to him until it was too late.
