"Are you sure you're okay?" Robin asked trailing Wally out of the bioship.
"Psh, it was nothing but a little beam of light Rob. Totally nothing to worry about," he said with a grin.
"Seriously Kid Idiot? You got hit by the smurf?" Artemis smirked. Wally stuck his tongue out childishly at Artemis.
"Like you've never been hit Arty," he sarcastically stated. Immediately after he said that she smacked him on the head making him nurse a very sore head.
"Abusive," he hissed at her. She rolled her eyes at the speedster and walked away. Robin laughed and left to go tell Batman what happened on the mission. Wally meanwhile walked out of the room, his hand landing on his stomach where Klarion had hit him. He swore he felt a warm pulse ripple through his body making him smile a little. It wasn't a bad feeling. It was different though.
-.-
It had been days since the last mission where they had faced Klarion. Conner had noticed an odd new noise that seemed to become normal in the mountain. It almost sounded like a heartbeat. Faster than a normal person's but nowhere near as fast as Wally's.
Now he never really mentioned it but he really enjoyed hearing the steady beats from everyone. They were soothing; especially Robin's, Kaldur's and surprisingly Wally's considering he first woke up to hearing their hearts beating in the room. Constant thuds slowing slightly as adrenaline left their system only to return in their fight.
He closed his eyes and listened to the various thumpings in the mountain. He could hear Artemis and Robin, most likely in the gym with their faster beatings, Kaldur's was slower than normal but not uncommon as his heart slowed when he was sitting idle reading. M'gann's was different. Hers sounded more hollow. A Martian trait perhaps? He didn't know. She was the only Martian he heard regularly. He didn't hear Black Canary's heart, one that was strong and somewhat… fluttery. Batman's was also strong, but it reminded Super boy of stone on stone. Wolf's was faster than any of theirs, but it was also more natural. Almost like wood on rock or foot fall rather than a drum.
Wally's though, his was a constant buzz that calmed him. Similar to television static.
Funny though. Conner only heard the new thumping when Wally was present. He continued listening to static wondering what it was.
-.-
"Wally?"
"Yeah?"
"What are you eating?" Barry asked. He was used to Wally having weird eating habits, basically eating anything. But things were getting a bit strange even for the speedster family.
"Um… I don't… really know," he said taking a bite of some strange and almost alien looking food. Barry wondered if J'onn had given it to them to try. Heaven knew that only Barry and Wally would really try the Martian food.
Though all in all, he was surprised that Wally just didn't order a dozen pizzas like he did when he was hungry and nothing else was ready.
-.-
"Be quiet!" Klarion hissed at his familiar, "This is not good."
Teekl meowed at him rather annoyed with Klarion.
"Don't you think I know that? When the brat shows Nabu will have a field day as will every other stupid hero," he grumbled crossing his arms. His eyes turned black as coal as he focused on the one who defied him. The one now that Klarion would have to keep his eye on.
"Stupid boy."
-.-
Three months later
-.-
Wally lay quietly in his bed holding what seemed like a pillow close to him. He looked down and frowned. He never believed in magic. He was a man of science. There should've been a logical explanation. But he couldn't see one. In his bed was a baby. One with red hair and blue skin.
"Great. I'm a mother."
POOP! I feel like a troll. Don't know if I'll write more into detail on this or even continue but it was really weird and it haunted about a few months of my sanity. Also, I would love to see a crack, what if Klarion did…?
Kudos to anyone who read this crap. Flames are more than welcome here.
