I'm a hero, well suppose to be. I can save other's, but not myself. I dont know why my dad wish's to hurt me like this. I also dont know why my mom doesn't stop him, or give me comfort after wards. I dont know how much longer I can live with this secret building up inside of me. My best friend, Dick Grayson, or Robin, he only ever told me his secret identity, I was glad he trust me that much, but why dont I trust him enough to tell him my big secret. Maybe im just scared, that's it, im just to scared to tell on my father.

I remember how he almost caught me once. I was invited to go over to his house for a sleep over. At first I wasn't allowed to go, my father said no. Bruce persuaded him though.

Robin noticed the bruises I had while playing in his room. Robin being innocent even after seeing his parents death, he just didn't think a parent would hurt there child. I told him I fell, but that was when his adopted father walked in, an saw them an heard my story. He told Robin to leave the room, to robin's confusion, but Robin was an angel that never disobeyed.

"wally, wear are those bruises from" Bruce asked straight forward.

"I fell down the stairs" I told him.

"I doubt that, wally, trust me, dont you trust, I will help you if some one is doing this to you" bruce said, I wanted to hug hi mso bad, I wanted his help, I wanted to cry on his shoulder, I wanted to call him daddy. If I did do any of the above he would of known, I cant let that happen, so I laughed.

"oh, cant get anything by you, I got into a fight at school, dont worry, I didn't use my powers or anything, but I dont want my parents to find out, please dont tell em" I stopped laughing to look serous, at first I didn't think believed me.

"fighting with other children isn't good" Bruce finally said.

"you wont tell my mom an dad right, please, I wont let it happen again" wally begged.

"I wont, this time if you have a good reason for doing it" Bruce said.

"they were making fun of me, so I gave them some thing to laugh about" I lied, expertly.

"ok, as long as I know you can take care of your self" Bruce roughed my hair, I wanted to tell him that I cant, I need help, im weak an pathetic but cant do it along, any more, but I didn't, I just giggled like any child would of done.

"go find Dick so you guy's could play" Bruce smiled at me as I ran out the door.

that was awhile ago, I have dreams that Bruce is my dad, cause I saw, I see how he is with Robin, I want that so bad, the dark night isn't just cold an heartless, you have to be really close with him to know that.

now that me an robin are teen's we formed a group for kids awaiting to be allowed in the justice league, young justice, the team.

I put on a mask every day, but I just want some one to hug me an saw every thing will be all right, but as my dad tell's me, I dont deserve love, an he's right, no girl would want to be with a worthless loser, but dreaming isn't against the rules. I ask out any girl I can, in hopes one will like me. I never get girl's as Wally West, but as Kid Flash I sure do, but there crazy fan girls, I cant even get another super hero to fall for me.

I dont know why I try. I dont even think my friends, the team likes me. I have to think they do, just force my self to believe it, cause I cant handle any more of this pain.

I some times wonder if I ever told them, would they help me, or tell me I deserve an laugh. I couldn't take that, an I know it, I would fall to pieces.

"dad, please, it wont happen again" wally yelled as chair was thrown at him, he huddled in a corner trying to protect his face, his father lifted him up by his hair, so he can look the man in the eye's.

"you better see that it dont" wally could smell the liquor come off in waves, an his father smashed his head against the wall before leaving, his mother looked down at him, an he looked up an put out a arm hoping she would take it, she turned her back to him.

"wally, you need to sop making you father saw angry" she walked away, leaving her son, bleeding an crying on the floor.

"ok" he whispered, trying to get up, when he finally did, he heard his father yell.

"an you better not leave with out cleaning that damn mess up, you got me boy" his father yelled, wally wiped the tears away.

"yes sir" he replied as he bent down to pick up the broken glass an wooden shards, an he through those away in the trash, an got a paper towel an wet it a bit just to clean up his blood. Wally through the towel away an grabbed the garbage bag, refilled the trash cane with a new bag, an took the garbage out.

"next time do things right the first time" his father said sitting on the couch with a beer.

"yes sir" wally said heading out the door an rounded a corner to ware no one could see him, to change into his uniform. He wiped the blood that smeared on his cheek an he had a small tint to his right eye, but he could always say he got into it with some bad guy on the way over to mount justice.

an like that wally sped off to the second place he called home, the first was Bruce's house.

"it's about time you get here" Robin said going to give KF a high five but noticed his eye.

"sorry guys, but some guy mugged this lady, had to stop him, when I wasn't looking he nailed me in the eye" KF lied, easily.

"really, that's what happened" bat man asked. 'shit didn't see him' wally thought as he smiled.

"yeah, why would I lie about a lady being mugged, it is some thing serous" wally said.

"yes that is serous, just making sure" bat man eyes him carefully.

"I will be back, in the mean time just stay here, I will have a mission for you" an like that he was gone.

"hello sir" Alfred said as I walked through the door.

"master Bruce, something bothers you" Alfred asked.

"yeah, you know wally" I said, taking a seat.

"indeed sir" Alfred told me.

"well, I think he's been beaten by his parents, for years, the marks are starting to be more frequent, I do regret not pestering more when he was younger, but it was nothing like this, I got to find out for sure" I told him as I stood to go to the bat cave to do a little research.

"sir what will you do if your suspicion is correct" Alfred asked me.

"first, Ill get wally out of there, then, you might have to subdue, cause im not sure what ill do to his so called parents yet, I mean, I look at Richard an all I can wonder is how any one could hurt there child" I said, leaving Alfred with an understanding.
