Chapter 1
Beep beep…beep beep.
Alarm read 6:30 far too early for anyone in this neighborhood to be awake but today was a special occasion.
A hand reached out from under the lightning bolt covered bed sheets before hitting the alarm clock to turn it off. A groan come from under the bed sheets before a boy, no older than 15, sprung out from underneath them with a big smile on his face.
The boy had bight orange hair and the greenest eyes, which were full of excitement. He jumped out of and throw on the clothes that had been laid out before rushing in to the room next door.
"Uncle Barry, Ante Iris, wake up" he shouted when he came in.
"Uh, Wally, what time is it?" a man, Barry, said.
"It doesn't matter, just wake up" Wally said enthusiastically.
Wally then left the room in order to let the adults change after telling them not to go back to sleep.
Half an hour later and everyone was awake, changed and fed but Wally's excitement still hadn't dwindled.
"Come slow coaches, we're going to be late" Wally shouted as he ran to the car.
"Slow down kid, we're not going to be late" Barry said as he walked out the door.
"Let just go" Wally said.
"Ok, ok" iris said.
Once everyone was in the car they set off very slowly, in Wally's option.
"Hey, Allen, where are you going at this time?" A man, one of Barry's work friends, called from the side of the street.
"Gotham city Olympic gym, Wally's trying to get a scholarship there" Barry explained.
"Really well good luck" the man said before he was cut off.
"Oh pu-lease, you'll chat it up with the cops, with bystanders, with cold even. NO, NO WAY. Today is the day" Wally exclaimed.
"You heard the kid, I'll see you when we get back" Barry said before driving off.
2 hours and 1 stop later and the family of three were standing in front of the prestigious Gotham City Gym, and just in time too as just as they went through the door the speakers said "all scholarship applicants to the second floor, I repeat all scholarship applicants to the second floor"
Barry, Iris and Wally quick took the elevator to the second floor but as soon as the doors open they found themselves practically suffocating due to the sheer amount of people there.
Unfortunately only 60 out of the hundreds of people that showed up would be offered a scholarship; two boys and two girls from each sport that the scholarship program offered: archery, badminton, basketball, boxing, cycling, diving, equestrian, fencing, gymnastics, soccer / football, swimming, synchronized swimming, tennis, track and field, and volleyball.
10 mins later, once everyone was sat down on the plastic fold-up seats that had been handed out when all the nice ones ran out, a man with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes in a expensive black suit stepped on to the make sift stage and started his speech.
"for those of you that don't know who I am my name is John Smith, however, to the lucky few that manage to get a scholarship at this prestigious gym then you'll soon know me as Coach Smith" the man – Mathew – introduced.
"His scholarship it certainly a once in a life time experience; as not only does it give to the chance to train with top athlete and former Olympic champions, it also comes with a full scholarship to Gotham Academy, top schooling the country, and private accommodation at one of Mr. Wayne's manors that he has generously donated to us" Smith paused for a moment, letting the words sink in before continuing "however, not everyone can get one of these gold star scholarships. We only have a max of 65 to give out, which is enough for two boys and two girls from each sport as well as 5 extra for when we absolutely cannot decide between three people"
"now let me tell you how today is going to work" the man said "first of all you will be spilt in to groups by what sport your participating in then by gender, after that you will be screened for your sports physical exam; this is mandatory as we need to determine whether it's safe for you to participate in the activities that well be taking place throughout the day, then you'll will take part in taster training session to assess your personality, attitude towards new challenges, and whether or not you'd be able to handle the intense train and final you'll be able to show for your talent to the coaches to convince them to pick you after that you will go home await our call, e-mail or letter which will say one of these three things: 1) you've been offered a scholarship, 2) you've been denied a scholarship or 3) we would like to see to again to make our decision"
Mr. Smith stepped down off the stage allowing a woman dressed in a black and blue tracksuit to take his place.
"Now if you'd all like to make your way to the various signs scattered around the walls they should tell you where to go" she said.
Wally did as the woman told them and walked up to one of the blue signs on the wall before quickly finding the part that said "track and field – 3rd floor"
Once Wally got to the 3rd floor he changed in to his running gear, as per the instructions given to him by the supervisor, which consisted of a form fitting rocket red short sleeved t-shirt, a red polyester jacket, a pair of yellow and red running and finally his favorite pair of red and yellow trainers, his K-Swiss Men's Blade-Max Stable.
After he got changed he sat on the floor with the rest of the scholar ship applicants while Barry and Iris when to the back of the room to sit on the seats with the adults.
"Hello" a woman from the front of the room announced "my name is Dinah Lance and I am the women's boxing coach here at The Gotham Olympic Gym, the GOG for short"
"Today you will be competing for a scholarship to The GOG and Gotham Academy, however, only 8 of the people in this room will be offered one, 4 from boxing and 4 from track and field. But before we get into the training and the matches and the running we have to get the worst part over and done with, the physical exam, will be called up in alphabetical order of your last names. Boxers will go the rooms on the right and track and fielders, the rooms on the left. While you're waiting you may look around, thank you" Ms. Lance said.
Almost immediately after the short speech end the speakers started calling out names and Wally found himself very grateful that he didn't take on the Allen family because if he did then he would almost certainly be going first.
After a few minutes Wally got bored and decided to take a look at the sport equipment but as he was walking over to them some ran pasted him and knocked him over.
"Hey" Wally shouted to the boy making him turn around.
"Sorry" the 6ft Caucasian boy said gruffly.
"Well, watch where you're going next time" Wally said "why are you running anyway?"
The boy merely shrugged.
"Hey, are, are you lost?" Wally asked, laughing a little.
"Pss, no" the boy scoffed but Wally just raised his eye brow.
"Maybe a little bit" the boy conceded.
"What your name?" Wally asked.
"Conner, Conner Kent" he said.
"Well Conner, Conner Kent , my name's Wally West and if you tell me what sport you applied for then I might be able to help you" Wally suggested.
"Boxing" Conner said.
"Well, you're on the right floor and last name's Kent, right?" Conner nodded "so you're probably not going to be called in for a while, but you need to get changed"
"Where's the changing room?" Conner asked to which Wally pointed to a door at the back of the room.
Few minutes later and Conner came out wear a black red track suit and asked Wally "where do I put my bag?"
"Well I gave mine to my folks but there's a locker in there" Wally answered so Conner went back into the rooms and reemerged with a looker key instead of a bag.
"Hey do you know what's going on upstairs?" Wally asked him.
"Gymnastics I think" Conner responded.
"Wanna check it out?" Wally asked, grinning.
"But what if we miss our turn" Connor protested.
"Come on, you're K, I'm W and there still on B we've got ages yet" Wally pointed out.
"Fine" Conner said and they took the elevator to the 4th.
The 4th floor was a lot livelier than the 3rd due all of the flips and vaults along with hoops and balls flying all over the place. Various apparatus were also set up such as the balance beam, high bar and ring but one in particular caught Wally's attention.
"Hey, who's that?" Wally asked Conner pointing to one of the boys on the high bar.
