Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left, and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
When Batman called for him, he never expected the outcome of the meeting to be so severe. Honestly he just thought Batman wanted to talk to him about his fight with Robin, he'd said some pretty mean things which he didn't mean. Batman told him Robin had found out people were plotting to kill Kid Flash and had gone to stop them. Only to get hurt in return. Wally collapsed onto the couch. It was all his fault, how could he not have realized his best friend was only trying to care. As he sat there on the couch he began to wonder why he came.
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Wally and Robin had fought a lot in the recent weeks, Robin felt neglected whilst Wally thought he was being pathetic. Artemis was his girlfriend, of course he was going to spend time with her. The night before Robin left Wally had heard Robin crying. He kept saying "No don't hurt him, I'll do whatever you want" Wally had thought it was another nightmare. It wasn't. He wished he had talked to Robin, he would've stayed with him all night if he had known it would've saved him. He knew he'd lost a friend a while back but when he heard of the tragedy it wasn't a friend he lost, it was a brother.
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you
Robin had fallen apart before his eyes, Wally had cast him aside. Yet Robin still defended him, died for him and what had Wally done?, told him that he was pathetic. As Wally knelt on the mud he began talking to Robins head stones. Robin had put up defenses, Wally got through them only to use them against him. He told Robin he cared, he wished he listened. He hoped Robin heard him.
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
When Barry Allen saw his nephew he knew he was broken. Wally had become a danger to himself, having an addiction to adrenaline. Even Artemis had been unable to convince his nephew that he was not ok. When Wally nearly killed a civilian for bringing up Robin they knew he could no longer be a hero. So they put Wally in a special containment unit. The justice league could visit him as well as young justice. Yet Barry couldn't help but think maybe Wally had just cracked beyond repair. When he went to visit him he expected to see a boy hanging upside down from the lighting. Instead he saw his nephew sat on the chair provided with scars all down his arms. He asked question after question but the only reply was that Wally was not the same. He gave Wally a smile which was returned and left. He ran, faster that he had ever ran.
He received the news at 0800 hours. Wally had died in his sleep. Barry wondered why he even bothered visiting his nephew, he knew the outcome would be the same.
