Chapter 1: Past
This is from a prompt on livejournal that I just had to do since you know crossroad demons=Supernatural(more or less), and I can see Wally selling his soul for the ones he loves.
This will probably be like maybe 3 chapters?

Fire red hair could barley be seen from were it was hidden under a black hoodie while half-closed green eyes, that had black bags under them stared out a window hidden behind sunglasses. A pair of old, faded, blue jeans were on hiding a pair of red boots making them look like red shoes. A black backpack sat on his lap, an arm carefully wrapped around it. The man. No, teenager no more then sixteen watched as the bus he sat on drove past empty fields and closed his eyes to sleep a bit, but soon memories of the past three months started to form, and how hell started on that day in History class.
4 Months Ago
Central City High School
"You ready for the test?" A teen boy named Trenton asked as he sat himself down next to Wally. Wally glanced up from were he had been writing a text to Rob, and grinned before saying "Yeah! I studied like crazy though, but hey at least this is the last test before fall break right?"
"So true!" A female voice said sitting in the other seat by Wally a black haired girl named Heather grinned before saying "God, I am ready to be free of school already, so glad i'm graduating early. What about you Wall-man?"
Wally laughed and nodded glad he had managed to skip a couple grades and was graduating in December which not only gave him more time to be with the Team, be Kid Flash, and bug Rob even more. It also gave him more time to think on how he a crush on Robin, but was dating Artie at the moment. He needed to choose before someone got hurt. Wally blinked and looked up alongside everyone else as the principle told every teacher to turn there TV's on and put it on the news. Wally would swear up and down later that his heart actually stopped for a few moments as he read the one line on the screen reading Flash and Kid Flash Identities Revealed!
"Oh. My. GOD!" someone screamed jolting Wally alongside other people. Grabbing his phone he found himself speed texting a SOS to every hero in his phone alongside his parents while placing the channel number. Glancing around he noted how people were recording it and quickly while praying that it was a joke started to record it on his phone to. Wally felt his hands shake a little as his heart pounded in his ears and he couldn't help but wonder if everyone could hear it. His mind started to speed up making every second feel like an hour, before blinking and it was back to normal. The line changed to showing the Central City News GBS were not only his aunt Iris stood but Gordon Godfrey stood.
"Hello everyone I'm Gordon Godfrey as you may know me from my very popular show." Gordon spoke a smirk on his face "Now today when I woke up I found the most interesting thing in the mail. It was a DVD that at first I thought was a death threat and the like, but I still watched it. It was mostly nothing except for two blurs before the frame came in and it showed me not only Flash's identity, but also Kid Flash's. I decided at once that I had to share it, but instead of putting it on my show why not come to Central City home of the Flash's and show you! Now before we play it, I must ask do you by chance have a comment Iris?"
Aunt I do something... Wally thought and didn't realize he had spoken it softly while biting on his lip, the fight or flight ringing in his ears. Iris West-Allen seemed to sit taller as she said "Why yes, I do have a comment. I have a comment on how if this DVD is even real how were destroyingboth Flash and Kid Flash's trust on doing this! How do we know after this that there families won't be killed? How do we know they just won't pack up and leave out of fear of there loved ones being hurt? How abou-!" Iris was cut off by Gordon who yelled "Play the disk!"
"No..." Wally whimpered softly and watched alongside everyone else as an old air strip could been seen. One of the Green Lanterns could be seen making things and dropping them on the ground while two blurs dodged and laughed. After a couple seconds the blurs slowed to a stop and there standing not dressed in costume laughing stood Wally West and Barry Allen. Wally tightened his grip on his phone as he felt his stomach drop, and a hushed silence before they were filled with gasps and shocked "Wally's, Kid Flash?"
Wally stopped the recording right as his phone beeped with a text from Uncle Barry that had a single word and it was Cave. Jumping to his feet, Wally moved letting out a blast of air behind him sending papers, and books flying everywhere. He didn't even notice the red blur that appeared on the TV screen grabbing Iris and disappearing or hear Gordon's yelling about them. He just ran.
Wally blinked his eyes open slowly and looked up as the bus came to a jolting stop. The old bus driver turned around and said "Last stop kid, get off." Wally slowly climbed to his feet then walked to the front of the bus gave a short nod to the old driver and climbed off of the creeky bus. Trying not to cough as smoke and dust came up when the bus left he turned and let out a soft sigh before digging into his hoodie pocket and bringing out a small map, and a phone with headphones plugged in. Turning it on and opening the map Wally started walking determined not to run, he needed to think a bit more about all that had happened before he got to the crossroads.
Hiking up the bag onto his back, before (being careful of things inside) started to slowly walk the song Highway to Hell blasting in his ears. Wally ignored the irony and thought dirt road to hell would be a much better song. Wally's green eyes stared ahead as he started walking a couple tears falling down.
3 Months Ago
Wally sat on the couch in the cave his feet and legs drawn up against his chest before looking up as the computer rang out that Flash and three guest were there. He watched as his parents ran in quickly followed by Flash and Iris who drew away seeming to talk softly in the corner, but that was all Wally saw as arms wrapped around and he was crushed up against his mother's chest. "Are you guys okay?" Wally asked once freed from his mother's grasp.
"We're fine, no one even got to really say or ask us anything before Barry came and grabbed us." Wally's father said before looking around the cave and noticing for the first time the giant wolf that was watching them from the corner of the room. "Uncle B, what do we do now?" Wally asked as he looked at his uncle who had just finished speaking to Iris and was making his way towards them. "For now were going to wait here, for Batman and a couple of other League members to get here. Then were go over what happens next."
Wally looked down as he felt his phone start to vibrate with text messages from the Team saying that they would be at the cave as quickly as possible, and others from school friends asking him how did he become Kid Flash, does he know any hero ID's like Batman's? Some were asking why he didn't trust them, a couple asked if Artemis was a superhero to. Shutting his phone off Wally looked around noticing his mom and dad were sitting on the couch talking in a soft whisper. Deciding he wanted to be alone to think, but not to far away Wally moved and sat down alongside Wolf. Tipping his head back he sighed and mumbled "And the day was going so well."
3 Weeks Later
Flash and Kid Flash or better known as Barry Allen and Wally West haven't been seen for three weeks, there families haven't been seen either. Whenever villains attack now other heroes come and take them down before saying repeating the samething "Are friends are on vacation right now and have asked myself and other heroes to step in for them." before leaving.
The light of the TV in the Cave glowed as a news caster appeared on screen saying "Hello and welcome to Central City news, were I am standing alongside almost all of both the twin cities asking for the town speedsters to please come back, the city is in choas without you!" More voices are heard pleading for them to come back, the TV turns off with a click as a 16 year old sighs and leans back against the couch in the Cave barley noticings that Artemis was leaning into his side as he closed his green eyes trying to forget everything that was happening.
"What are you going to do now?" her voice spoke up breaking him from his nothingness.
"Try to go with life as usual." Wally answered after a brief moment of silence.
1 Week Later
Whoosh, was the sound that made all Central City citizens look up, right before a blast of wind hit them and they could see two strikes of red and yellow running through the city. Cheers filled the air as people stopped cars to stare and watch at the speedsters ran through town. Slowing down before came to a stop outside the bank were a group of men wearing black mask stood firing guns at the police. Both speedsters moved quickly grabbing the police and moving them to safety before creating a small tornado around the men stopping them from firing there guns while also sucking a bit of the air from around them.
Both speedsters slide to a stop and stared at the men ready to attack as one raised a gun to a woman who had a black bag over her head. "Come on boys, let the lady go and put the weapons down."
"How about this Barry" the leader hissed gun still against the woman's head "you let us go or your little sidekick's mom gets her head blown off." The man rips the bag off and Wally can't help but scream out a "MOM!" and is forced from charging forward as his uncle wraps his arm around him stopping him. Wally's mother stares at him her eyes wide and filled with fear. "That's better." the man hums before saying "Now my boys are going to fill that car over there with money and were going to leave. Your not going to chase us or else she gets a bullet to the brain."
"I think that's quite enough." a voice above them says and they all look up to see Superman floating there "Now lets put the gun down and-!" he stops mid sentence as the leader stumbles back in surprise his finger pushing on the trigger. Both speedsters leap forward racing against the barrel and bullet trying to save Mary. Neither make it and the loud scream of "MOM!" echoes throughout Central City. Barry's arms are wrapped around Wally holding him close as he tries to comfort him, and the police take the men and body away. To them its been hours, to the other people a few minutes before Wally is shoving out of his uncle's arms and running off back home hoping his dad is okay. Barry just stares at the camera that shoved into his face for a long moment before saying "Are you happy now?" and leaving.
A Couple Days later
Wally lays flat on his bed phone in his hand ignoring Artemis and his other teammates. Pushing his mind barrier up that M'gann had showed them how to make, he rolled over onto his stomach and pressed on his recordings, watching as it's the one from class weeks ago. Sighing and sitting up, he walked over to his desk and uploaded all the videos on his phone to his laptop, quickly saving them before deciding he needed to run and just get away from everything for a bit.
Grabbing his suit and slowly slipping it on, he hit the symbol turning his costume black. Grabbing his backpack which he his laptop, phone and chargers in alongside some snacks and money just encase he got hungry, he left his room and walked down the stairs. Stopping for a moment he noticed that his day lay asleep on the couch a picture of his mom, in his hand and a empty beer bottle in the other. Wally sighed softly, as he gently placed his bag down and grabbed a blanket from the couch back. Laying it over his dad he grabbed empty beer bottles and throw them away before grabbing a picture frame of him and his parents and placing it into his backpack a feeling telling him to. Glancing at his dad again Wally knew his father wasn't taking it well and resolved that after this nature run around the world and making a video dairy like Dinah said, that would help him he would start helping his dad get better.
Stepping outside he took in a deep breath, and started running down the street at a slow pace, not wanting to trip and destroy his stuff. Going outside of the city he went a little faster, racing through the world going to a small lake in Canada. Slowing down and making sure he was alone he dropped himself besides a small picnic table and laid his head on it for a moment before bringing his phone out and turning the recorder on. Not bothering to face it to him, he pointed it out towards the lake and started speaking first about his mom and how much he missed her and then started to break into chocked sobs about how it was his fault that he hadn't made it to her in time. Going silent Wally grabbed his cowl and slide it off his face, before brushing his hand through his hair while turning the phone to look at him. "If anyone ever watches this i'm going to be so embarrassed, but BC said that this was a good idea, 'cause I won't do talking sessions with her. I guess she was right, please-don't-tell-her-that! I wish I could turn back time and stop all of this from happening..."
Wally froze as he said that and tilted his head in thought a dangerous smirk appearing on his lips. "You know what! Why can't I? I mean Zoom can time travel, it can't be that hard!" Wally jumped up a grin on his face as he lifted a fist and said "I'm going to stop all of this from ever happening!" Of course that was when his comm went off saying that there was a fire at his house. The grin fell and Wally grabbed his phone stuffing it in his wrist pocket not bothering to turn it off as he grabbed his bag and was going running back towards his house.
Wally got back in time to see the roof collapse seconds after his uncle came running out coughing and holding a body that looked badly burnt and wasn't moving. Wally watched as Barry carefully placed the body of his father in the ambulance, before jerking in surprise as his aunt grabbed his arm and dragged him away from the scene. "Dad.." Wally whispered shocked, before looking at his aunt who whispered a soft "Wally, we need to go. Come on." Iris pulled Wally's arm dragging him away, before he was gently picking her up and zipping down the street towards her and uncle Barry's house.
His mother was gone and now his father. What else? Was something going to happen to his aunt, uncle, Artemis, Dick, the Team? Wally couldn't help but think that he was going to be able to handle much more of this. Wally found himself collapsing besides his aunt when they were safely inside her home and curling up against her refusing to move.
Three days later it was said on the news it said that Rudolph West was killed by a hero hating group. Wally recorded it all and started to save everything that happened to a disk.
4 Weeks Later
Wally laid out on the couch at his aunt and uncle's house typing on his laptop finishing his new online school homework for the next three weeks. Humming under his breath he climbed to his feet and clicked the TV on bored with nothing to do. He felt himself freeze up as he saw that the news was on but instead of seeing his aunt's face he saw the Joker's face grinning at the camera. "Oh god, please no." Wally said as he stared at the TV the remote falling out of his hand and falling onto the floor.
"Hello, Central City! I bet you all are wondering what i'm doing in Central and not in Gotham. Well let me tell you Central City is way to clean and happy for my taste so why don't we spill some more blood?" The Joker moved the camera pointing it towards were a woman with fire red hair sat tied to a chair, eyes staring with fear at the camera as she was surrounded by gallons of gasoline. Wally felt his heart stop beating as the Joker turned the camera back to himself and said "Here's your challenge Flash, find your wife in under five minutes or she dies."
The screen went black and Wally was gone running out the door, not bothering to notice if it shut behind him as he ran faster. He slammed into a body and stared at his uncle before saying "I'll take the West and South side." Barry barley nodded before he was gone running off to the other side. Both throw open doors and sped around trying to find her. Wally slammed on the breaks besides a TV shop and saw that two cameras were on now one showing Aunt Iris on the inside trying to untie the knots while the other showed the outside. Seeing what was outside Wally turned and ran for the warehouses in Central City feeling stupid that they hadn't checked there first. A blur known as his uncle sped past him and into the building, Wally felt a small smile starting to grow knowing that they had made it in time, only to fall as the building exploded both still inside.
Wally fell to his knees a broken screech leaving his mouth. He sat that way for hours to him as he slowed down time. Blinking as he heard the police and fire truck sirens he stood slowly and turned to face the camera. He spoke only five words before Wally West vanished not to be seen again "This is your fault Central."
Four days later the Joker was found beaten close to death, and missing a bone.
2 Month Later
Wally sat at a small coffee shop in Paris, typing on his laptop that was filled with details about time travel, and other things. Sighing and deciding that he didn't have enough time to actually build a time machine and also work out the small details. Saving what he had for another time, he started to shut everything off when an add about supernatural deals caught his eye. Deciding that he may as well try it, he pressed on it and started reading about demons and crossroads.
Standing Wally slide his laptop into his bag and placed his money on the table, he turned and walked down the street. He needed to find some supplies and find someone with a dead black cat.
Wally stood at the crossroad and glanced around to make sure no one else was there. Turning his phone video towards him Wally sighs before speaking saying "Well guys this is it. If that lore was right, i'm about to sell my soul to a demon, and if it was wrong i'm going to go back to trying time travel. I'm pretty close to creaking it after all." Wally says before gently placing his bag onto the ground. "I'm gonna keep this on during the whole deal thing, and well yeah... I hope whoever watches this in the future or maybe no one will, whatever. You don't try and save me." Opening his bag and bringing out a small metal box that was seated next to a laptop and a couple of CD's he said "Lets begin shall we? First what I have here is a small box filled with grave yard dirt, a black cat bone, you don't want to know were I got it, and" he paused as he brought out a school picture of him and placed it into the box "A picture of me."
Dropping to his knees Wally quickly dug into the dirt and placed the box in the center of the crossroad. Grabbing his bag which his phone was now hidden he looked around waiting for something to happen. Ten minutes later Wally is rolling his shoulders with annoyance and saying "Knew it wouldn't work." and turned to leave while kicking a rock,not bothering to dig up the box. "What didn't work?" a man's voice spoke from behind Wally making him jump and spin around ready for an attack. He wasn't expecting a black haired man with red glowering eyes standing there a smirk on his face. "Do you mean the crossroad demon spell you just used? Because sweetie that spell did work and you just needed to be a little more patient."
"Your-."
"A demon? Yes, yes I am. Now I expect you didn't drag me here for no reason and want to make a deal right." the demon said making it sound more like a statement then a question. Wally nodded before saying "I want to change some stuff that has happened."
"You mean the whole secret ID's being told to the whole world?"
"How did you..?"
"It was the talk of the whole underworld for like a year. And believe me it gets us demons a lot to talk about something for a whole year. But the big thing that got us really talking is when you beat the Joker to almost death. You speedster sure can be brutal when you lose almost everything right?" Wally stayed silent not wanting to answer that before saying "Do you want to make a deal with me or not? Because if not I need to get back to work on plan B."
"Whoa, hang on there don't go to plan B come make a deal. Now lets see your going to want me to turn back time and change it so that no one will ever find out your secret ID's right?" Wally nodded a yes "That what I thought." Seeming to think for a moment he says "How about for fun I make sure you remember everything and all those little disk you have stuff on about all of this can stay there."
Wally opened his mouth to speak but was hushed by the demon who said "It's that I like you or anything kid, I just want to make sure you don't forget about the deal, and just a little something else about if you break this deal. The whole world will know who the Flashes are and any other superhero your friends with will be told to."
"I don't break deals." Wally growled.
"Good. Now come kiss me so we can seal this. Unless of course you don't want to make a deal." Wally was silent for a moment before launching himself forward and smashing his lips against the demon's. The demon opened his mouth and drew Wally in closer before moving away and saying "Sweet dreams little hero."
