(A/N) This short series if based futher into the DC Comic timeline. These letters are from Wally's perspective to Barry Allen. However, Barry Allen is presumed dead. T^T I'm sure it won't make you cry, or even pull a heart string, but I promise that the next few letters will do a much better job at that. Please review, tell me what I need to work on, what you liked, etc. It'll help further my literacy skills! Please and THANK YOU! 3
Dear Barry,
The first time I met you, you were just some average Joe marrying my aunt. I didn't care back then, about you, Aunt Iris, or anything actually. I was more focused on my life around that time. I would never have known that in a couple of years, you would become the most precious thing to me, next to bread.
Do you remember that day when I came running to you? My arm was broken and I was petrified. You welcomed me with open arms. I'm not even related to you. I was so thankful because of that. You let me stay in your care without a cache. I needed somebody, and you were there. We had been complete strangers then, and now we're closer than ever.
If you hadn't taken me in that day, I wouldn't have become the person I am today. We probably would have never reached this relationship that we share now either. You cared for me in a way that my father couldn't. That was when I began to classify you as my father, hero, and role model. Not only were you a hero as The Flash, but also as Barry Allen.
Just as every side kick would want to be like their mentor, I wanted to be exactly like you. I can't compare to you now Barry, you've sacrificed so much for this country, for the world, and we all thank you for that. You are The Flash, the hero for Central and Star city. You protected and helped people every day. Not only that, but you saved the world countless times! You have also saved mine, and to that I must say, thank you.
You're gone now, and I regret not ever being able to tell you what you truly meant for me while you were here. So here's a chain of letters expressing my thoughts and grievances since your sacrifice. I know, it must be selfish of me to complain about my life when you had thrown yourself into the Speed Force to save the life that not only I, but everybody is living, and here I am, complaining about everyday things you countered on a daily basis.
I can never be compared to you Barry, and the residents of Central and Star city know that. We're holding a memorial for you the day after next, all of the JLA is going to be there. All the old sidekicks as well, Night Wing, Superboy, even Batman. He came all on his own will. He was your best friend after all, and I think, although maybe the feelings weren't mutual, you meant something to him as well.
I miss you Barry… we all miss you very much. I wish you hadn't been the one to be sucked into the force. This world can't function properly without you. I would have gladly taken your place, the world needs you. With every day that passes, my hope for you to return doesn't waver. You're The Flash, one of the fastest men alive, we can make anything possible. I'll be waiting for you every evening at our old training spot.
Never to be sent
Wally
