The Flash and His son
A Fanfic By Ravenclaw43
Wally West usually wears a red spandex material suit with a yellow lightning bolt in the middle of his chest. Over his wavy red hair is usually fitted a red mask with two yellow lightning points sticking above each ear, which covered half his face. Wally West is usually The Flash.
But now The Flash was just Wally West. He was wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a green plaid t-shirt. Wally sat on a bench on a large hill that over looked a track field. Below, on the track field, a track meet was taking place. Five young boys about the age of 11 lined up at the starting line. A man stood in the grass at the left hand side of the lined up boys. The boys got into position and the man put a starting gun up into the air. A shot rang out through the area and the boys shot off at a brisk run.
Wally watched intently. His eyes followed a boy with auburn colored hair who was racing up to the front of the pack of boys. Suddenly J'onn's voice rang through his head. "Flash."
Wally looked around him in search for J'onn but couldn't find him.
"J'onn?" Wally whispered.
"Yes. Flash, Superman needs your help." Came Jonn's voice again.
"Can't it wait? W-where are you?" Wally whispered just low enough so that a passerby couldn't hear him.
"No, it can not wait. I'm with Superman, Batman, Hawk girl, and Wonder Woman in Gothum City. I'm projecting my voice into your brain waves."
" . . . Oh. Well, can't you just get GL to help you?"
"He's already on his way."
"But it's my day off J'onn!"
"Flash, we need you. Hurry."
Wally stood up rolling his eyes. With a blur, where Wally was, now stood The Flash.
Flash looked down at the race once more. The boys were nearing the finish line, with the auburn haired boy in the lead. With light-speed, The Flash was down at the sidelines with the rest of the audience. In that instant the auburn-haired boy crossed the finish line, earning first place. There was a wild cheer and applause. The Flash grinned an ear-to-ear smile and applauded as well but then was gone in an instant, leaving anyone who saw him with the sense that their eyes were playing tricks on them.
Barry was closing in on the finish line. He had just past Jordan, the reigning champion of the track team, and was only a few yards away from winning. Barry pushed himself, willed himself to go faster. The finish line only a few more feet away, was coming nearer and nearer. Barry jumped across the red line that marked the end of the race and had earned himself the new title of 'Track Champion'. He looked over to the crowd and saw his foster father clapping and smiling with everyone else. But his foster father's face wasn't the only familiar face in the audience. Barry was sure he had seen The Flash smiling a big grin and clapping along with everyone else, but after a second glance he found the place where The Flash had been standing was empty. The feeling of confusion only lasted for a minute for Barry was lifted up onto his teammates shoulders and mauled with congratulations from his coach and friends.
Barry's teammates placed him back on his feet and allowed him to go and receive his medal. The medal was gold with a pair of shoes with wings attached to them on the front side. On the back was an engraving of '1st'. After the track meet was over Barry went to his foster father and they set off on foot for their home.
Barry didn't much like living with his foster father and mother but still appreciated it. He longed to meet his biological father. He had dreamed up fantasies of who his father really was and how his father would come sweeping in and take him away to an amazing place where he would live out his days. Naturally he never told anyone of these fantasies but liked to wallow in them as long as he could.
Barry's foster family wasn't exactly ideal. They barely had enough money to keep themselves from dieing of starvation let alone take care of a boy who longed for so much more, and it didn't help that they were also taking care of three other foster children. Barry had two sisters and one brother. His younger sister, Melinda, was four years old and her favorite game was 'Scream-Your-Head-Off-Until-Someone-Gives-You-Something-Just-To-Shut-Up'. His other sister, Tamara, was sixteen and was presently having an affair with every boy in the town, including Barry's older brother, Roger. Roger was seventeen and had been kicked out of every school their foster parents had sent him to, which didn't go over too well with the money issue.
The only thing that kept Barry from going insane in this household was his hero and idol, The Flash. Ever since he was very little Barry was a big fan of the Justice League and The Flash had always been his favorite. Barry idolized The Flash for his speed and his wit. It was because of him that Barry decided to go out for the track team. In his small room he hung a poster of The Flash on his wall. He would have bought more except he hadn't the money for it.
Barry's foster father's house wasn't far from the track. It was just over the hill and across the road. The house was small and the paint was chipped. One of the windows was broken and the door hung loosely on its hinges. Inside were a kitchen and three bedrooms. Most of the bedrooms were small rooms that had two beds squeezed in. Barry shared a room with his brother and his sisters also shared a room. In the kitchen was a small black-and-white TV set on a lopsided table. The kitchen also included a rusty stove, a refrigerator that barely kept food cold, and a sink that was always filled to the brim with dirty dishes.
Barry and his foster father entered their home to find Melinda screaming her head off and Tamara flirting with some poor soul on the phone. His foster father went to help his foster mother try to calm Melinda. Barry quickly stowed the medal he had won in his pocket so as Roger wouldn't steal it. He went into the kitchen to find it empty. Barry grabbed one of the folding chairs that was placed around the table and turned on the TV to the news channel. He often did this to watch the Justice League take down another foe.
To his hope's delight the Justice League was indeed in another battle with two of Batman's old nemesis, The Joker and The Penguin, in Gothum City. This time The Joker and The Penguin had cooked up a scheme that was headed for disaster and fast. They had magnified the sonic sound waves from dolphins and modified them to make the citizens of Gothum City helplessly under their control. With enhanced earplugs the Justice League was doing their best to fight off the citizens without doing them much harm. The news crew who were tapping this had abandoned their camera and was bombarding the Justice League with everything they could find. Without prevail Batman was trying to get through the crowd to The Joker who held the sonic sound machine that was creating all this chaos. Superman was being cruelly piled on, Jonn was trying to help Superman, The Green Lantern was defending himself against Hawk Girl whose earplugs had been pulled out, and Wonder Woman was tied up with her own lasso. The Joker and The Penguin watched amusingly over the scene from a balcony of a building that was about thirty feet off the ground. Barry watched intensely as the battle raged on with little difference.
Suddenly there was a fast red blur in front of the TV screen. A few seconds later the blur circled around the mob of people, scaled the wall of the building and went up onto the balcony. The Flash stood grinning behind the unsuspecting villains. He reached for both of their collars and with amazing strength and speed he had them hanging over the balcony's edge. As if awaiting Flash's arrival Batman and Superman broke free of the citizens' hold and got below the balcony. In the surprise The Joker had dropped the sonic sound machine. It tumbled through the air and into Batman's open hands. With Batman's expert intelligence in machines of these types, he quickly found a way to turn it off. The Flash then dropped the villains into the hands of Superman who carried them to the police to be sent off to jail.
The citizens and Hawk Girl soon regained their own will. The TV crew who had abandoned their camera came back to it and the newscaster quickly started speaking about getting an interview with one of the Justice League. She and many other news reporters surrounded the Justice League. Batman had disappeared probably to his cave to safely stow away the sonic sound machine. The Flash was nowhere to be seen and Hawk Girl, The Green Lantern, Jonn, Wonder Woman, and Superman answered the press's questions. With a wide grin, Barry half-heartedly listened to the interview.
After helping to save Gothum City from The Joker and The Penguin, Flash, unnoticed, changed back into Wally West and stood in the crowd of citizens who had just wanted to pummel them a minute ago. He watched Superman and Wonder Woman answer questions while Jonn, The Green Lantern, and Hawk Girl talked quietly in the background.
Wally walked slowly away from the crowd, looking back only to find The Green Lanterns eyes following him. Wally gave his friend a wide grin and sped off. He sped through cities, town, and farmlands dodging cars and people. When he finally reached the track field again the track meet had been long over. With a sigh, Wally sat down on the bench and looked out onto the track.
It'll be his birthday soon. Three days. I should get him something. Flash thought to himself. He sat silently for a few more minutes but was gone in a second, giving anyone who had noticed him the thought that the man had just vanished.
The Green Lantern watched Wally West speed away. It was quite unusual for Flash to leave before an interview, especially if he did a big part in the saving. He usually liked to answer questions and make a fool of himself by giving answers that were supposed to be funny. And what was even more unusual was that Flash never takes off his costume. Flash always said this was because he didn't want to give away his secret identity even though the team knew he was Wally West. At first The Green Lantern was suspicious of the young red-haired man walking away from the scene. Of course he had no doubt that it was Flash after he had given The Green Lantern that instantly recognizable grin. Still Green Lantern was curious.
After the interview ended, the rest of the Justice League went separate ways. Superman went to patrol while Jonn, Wonder Woman, and Hawk Girl went back to the watchtower. Green Lantern's curiosity over came him and he decided to try to find Flash. He flew over another city, a few towns, and some farming fields with the help of his ring. It was getting darker and less and less people were out. Green Lantern passed over a track field but then quickly rounded back. His eyes were attracted to a bench at the top of the hill looking over the track. He could have sworn that a man had been sitting on that bench only a second ago.
The Green Lantern lowered himself to the ground to find that there was no one in sight.
