Title: …
"Second Sidekick (and Counting…)"
"Uncle B… Uncle B… Uncle B… Uncle B… Barry… Barry… Barry… Barry…. Bartholomew… Bartholomew… Bartholomew… Bartholomew… Allen… Allen… Allen… Allen…FLASH… FLA –" (1)
"BARRY, I think your nephew wants you." Iris mumbled, throwing her pillow over her head.
Barry groaned. "Before sunrise, he's YOUR nephew." (2)
Wally huffed, standing up with his hands on his hips. "Well how rude, I come up here and continually poke you to wake you up and you DISOWN me?"
Barry, head buried in his pillow, peeked up a bit to slightly glare at Wally. "Your sentence just answered your own accusation. It's only…" Barry lifted his head a bit more to peer at the clock and groaned even louder, throwing his head back into his pillow when he realized what time it was, "… 6:00 a.m. WHAT are you doing up?"
"You promised me you'd finally take me out as Kid Flash today…" Wally said softly and Barry sighed, flipping over and propping himself up on his elbows to look at him nephew. He ruffled the young boy's bright red hair before saying.
"Okay, look, I know you're excited that it's going to be your first time and all, but as a speedster you need sleep first so we can have energy to go out, okay? Just wait until eight, after we get more rest and eat, and then we can go out," Barry told him.
Wally sighed and nodded, still bouncing a bit on the balls of his feet.
"… You're not tired anymore are you?" Barry finally guessed after a second. When Wally shook his head "no", Barry fell back onto his pillow with a sigh.
"Okay… then go watch TV, just PLEASE let me sleep," Barry told him, still groaning a bit.
Wally nodded again. "Okay, but sleep quickly!" he ordered his uncle with the shake of one finger before he headed downstairs.
Wally sighed, hopping onto the couch and flipping on the TV to his favorite show: Scooby Doo. He smiled at the corniness, he liked the first version and second "What's New Scooby Doo?" the most.
"Man, I wish I had a talking dog…" Wally mused as he watched Shaggy and Scooby get chased underwater by a glowing scuba man. Wally laughed when they tried to climb up the post to escape, only to cover his mouth at the sound effects so as not to wake his uncle.
After watching Scooby Doo for an hour, Tom and Jerry came on and Wally (like the ten year old he was) enjoyed the silliness of it all. He rooted for Jerry the whole time, laughing whenever the mouse continually outsmarted the much larger cat.
Just then, as Jerry was whistling for a dog to come and pound Tom yet again, Wally heard movement upstairs. He looked at a clock and almost squealed (in a manly way, of course) when he realized it was eight o'clock finally.
Wally hopped up off the couch and sped up to Barry's room, bouncing up and down excitedly again.
Barry laughed, obviously more awake now. "I'm up now, you can relax now."
Wally grinned but didn't stop bouncing.
Barry sighed, scooping up his nephew and throwing him over his shoulder before speeding downstairs. "You need breakfast."
Wally sighed as his uncle set him down and stuck out his tongue at him. "I can walk myself you know," he protested as Barry started to get out the ingredients for some quick scrambled eggs and biscuits.
Barry shrugged. "You're STILL too slow," he teased as he cracked three eggs into a frying pan.
Wally grinned. "WELL I used your notes –"
Barry scowled playfully. "Shut up," he said as he added about seven more eggs before setting to work on other ingredients.
After a while of silence, the only sound coming from the fryer, Wally finally spoke again.
"Uncle Barry, you're a good cook," he said bluntly. Barry beamed back at his nephew.
"Why thank you," he replied, but Wally wasn't done.
"Well, how come YOU don't cook more often and let Iris not for once?" the curious boy asked.
"Because I am a BETTER cook," Iris said simply as she walked into the kitchen, bumping Barry lightly out of the way with her hip, taking the spatula from him at the same time.
"Hey, I can help," Barry said, though his actions contradicted his words as he simply sat down by his nephew, watching as his wife got out the biscuits and continuing what he'd started. Iris looked at him, smiling and rolled her eyes. "At LEAST let me taste test," he argued, getting up to now stand by her, trying to reach over her shoulder towards the eggs.
Iris smacked his hand away with a spoon she'd been using for the biscuits, leaving dough on his hand (which he quickly licked off). "No, because even you with your high metabolism could get salmonella poisoning."
Barry. "But –" he all but whined, sound very much like the ten year old watching the events play out.
"Bartholomew Henry Allen you better sit your butt down –" Iris started to threaten (with a playful glint in her eyes) and Barry quickly did as told, trying to look innocent. Wally simply laughed and Barry stuck his tongue out at him.
Iris sighed. "I swear the definition of speedster has to be giant child because that's how you act sometimes Barry."
Barry lived up to this statement with his next words (which came out in a whiney tone). "Wally acts like this too."
"He's ten, you're twenty-seven," Iris told him, casting him a meaningful look over her shoulder.
Barry "Humph"ed, "And a half…" he grumbled under his breath as he reluctantly folded his arms across his chest in defeat. Wally laughed again and Barry cracked a grin.
Iris smiled at them and got out two plates while she placed the biscuits in the oven. "You're eggs are ready, but you can wait for the biscuits if you want," she told them, but she already knew the answer. Both boys were shaking their heads, staring at the eggs hungrily. Iris smiled again and scooped out the food into heaps on both platters before handing them to the two red-heads.
Wally suddenly got up, speeding over to the fridge and getting the ketchup out, he ran back to his place and squirted some out over his eggs before digging in, Barry then snatched it from him and did the same but he also added more pepper.
Iris wrinkled her nose at them. "You two are strange."
"`ut i`s `ood!" Wally argued through the eggs.
Iris rolled her eyes and poked Wally. "Don't talk with your mouthful," she told him firmly.
Wally swallowed his food and spoke again. "Yes m'am."
The boys continued to eat (if inhaling and using forks as shovels can be considered "eating"); Iris finished the biscuits which they quickly inhaled too. Once they were done, the two made quick work of cleaning up.
By the time they were done, all of Wally's previous excitement was back. He was jumping, practically vibrating in his eagerness. "Can we go NOW? Please, please, please, please, please –"
Barry grinned and ruffled his hair. "Yes we can go, just grab your clothes and we can leave."
Wally cast him a confused look. "Why not just change here?"
Barry shook his head, still grinning and squatted down to be eyelevel with his only nephew. "If we left here as Flash and Kid Flash all of the time, don't you think someone would eventually notice?"
Wally thought about it and realization came to his eyes. He nodded. "I understand," he said simply, not really answering the question but Barry knew what he meant.
"Good, now do you have your clothes with you?" he asked him, Wally dashed off and came back, not appearing to have done anything except leave, but Barry knew they were under his over clothes (mostly because a bit of yellow was showing at the bottom of his ruffled shirt). Barry quickly hid the bit of costume showing and Wally blushed.
"You know, it'd be easier if I just had a ring like you," he argued as they headed out the door.
"Maybe you can have one… when you're older. Isn't super speed enough for you in means of changing quickly?" Barry asked him.
Wally snorted, rolling his eyes. "I guess I could ask YOU the same thing."
"Touché," Barry replied with a laugh.
Just then, Iris came over and gave each boy a kiss, Wally on the cheek, Barry on the lips. "Be safe," she told them firmly and both nodded.
"We will," Wally told her firmly.
"I love you," Barry said simply. He knew Iris hated promises he couldn't necessarily keep, but she'd knew he'd be back… if not, she'd flay alive whoever hurt him.
Iris smiled and waved as they walked out.
…. …. …. ….
"Woo that was fun," Wally cheered with a fist pump after he and his uncle had successfully stopped a robbery (they're first hitch of the day).
Flash laughed. "I'm glad you liked it, just be a bit more careful next time, you almost let that man trip you," he pointed out.
Kid Flash wrinkled his nose up at his mentor. "Oh yeah, cause you were totally all 'Mr. Careful-observing-hero-guy' whenever that one dude nearly whacked your head off."
Flash put his hands up in semi-defeat. "Fine, fine, we both are human then, I guess. That's good to know."
Kid Flash grinned. "Yeah, humans who can go faster than the speed of sound."
Flash nodded. "Point taken."
Just then, a loud explosion could be seen and barely heard across Central City. Flash and Kid Flash instantly darted off to the source of the noise; Central City Bank.
When they got there, Flash knew instantly who it was simply by the feel of the air and he stopped. He tried to warn his nephew, too, but it was too late.
"Wha- wah-WHOA," Kid Flash said as he flailed across the iced over road, he tried to get his balance but failed miserably which resulted in his face planting into a street pole and landing on his butt.
Captain Cold stepped out of the bank with three henchmen at his side, an evil grin on his face. "Does the great Flash have a brat too, now? I see the Bat has started some sort of trend," were the first things he said, nice, loud and smug to the hero. Then, he muttered under his breath, "I hope it PASSES like a trend too…"
"Double C," Flash said, arms folded across his chest as he tried (and succeeded) to distract the villain while his nephew got back on two solid feet. "I see you're back to the obvious again, robbing banks. Who do you owe this time, or is it for your own personal gain? Gonna use stolen money to actually BUY something for once? I mean, it'll be illegal either way so –"
Just then, Kid Flash managed to get off the ice and he glanced at his uncle and Flash nodded at him. Kid Flash HAD trained before and he knew what his uncle wanted, but, sadly, the villains noticed the small exchange.
Captain Cold scowled. "Get them, NOW. The boy first, he'll be easier, obviously, then you can get his mentor."
"HEY!" Kid Flash protested as guns were aimed at him, he ran as the ground froze where he used to be.
"When does that plan EVER work anyways Cold? Name one time you've successfully caught me," Flash teased as he easily dodged any blow or shot Captain Cold aimed at him.
Cold sneered. "I can name a few… like right now," he said and suddenly he aimed at Wally, who'd had his back turned, and froze one of the boy's legs to the ground. Kid Flash had just been about to run when he did that and the sudden stop of his leg made him fly forward a bit still.
POP.
"Ah –" Kid Flash started to shout but he slammed his teeth down on his tongue, stifling the cry as he fell awkwardly to the ground, left leg still frozen in place and throbbing. He tensed as the guns were aimed at him now, he was screwed.
"Kid!" Flash shouted, a worried look instantly crossing over his features.
"Leave the boy now," Captain Cold ordered with a satisfied look on his face, "but stay there just in case Flashy here decides to do something. What's his name? Kid? Kid FLASH perhaps?" When Flash flinched at the second one and Wally turned his head, Captain Cold nodded to himself. "Kid Flash it is, not very original, but it will do I guess."
Kid Flash scowled at the villain, he hated this guy already. He glanced at his uncle and mouthed. "I'm fine," even though it was a slight lie. His leg throbbed like heck… but he'd felt worse. He knew it was probably just pulled out of socket.
Flash glanced at his nephew one last time before he took a quick step forward and placed one foot on the ice. He'd learned a while back that since a certain vocal frequency could shatter ice, a certain vibration speed also could break ice.
The ice suddenly shattered under Flash's foot and a ways out also, creating a nice hole that Flash could get Captain Cold from. He dashed over and grabbed the villain by the scruff of the collar, glaring daggers at him as he brought the man about two inches away from his face.
"Make them. Leave. Him. ALONE," he said firmly, a protective edge coming into his tone.
"Or what?" Cold taunted, too used to Flash's normal, snarky self to be quite afraid.
Flash's glared deepened just a fraction and he suddenly launched Captain Cold at his men, creating a nice domino effect. Once all four were down, Flash dashed over to his nephew and quickly shattered the ice as he had the other part. Kid Flash shivered a bit as he bent over slightly, trying not to wince when it hurt his out-of-socket thigh, and started to try and friction his leg back to warmth.
Flash glanced at him and then the villains. Kid Flash nodded and his uncle quickly headed over to them and handcuffed them all before contacting the un-alerted police (Captain Cold had disabled the bank's alarms). Then, he was instantly back at his nephew's side.
"Out of socket?" he guessed, gesturing to the leg. Wally nodded, biting his lip unconsciously. "Do you want me to fix it now or at home?"
Wally thought about it for a second. "Will I be able to run on it if you fix it now?"
Barry shook his head. "It'll be pretty sore."
Wally sighed. "Then at home," he decided and Flash nodded, scooping him up just as the cops showed. He waved at them once and Wally scowled, hating that the cops had to see him like this, some first impression. Then, Flash ran them back to their car. They quickly changed before climbing in. Wally winced again as they went over a random bump in the road and Barry moaned.
"It's okay Uncle Barry, I still had fun, and besides it wasn't your fault," Wally told him, assuming that's what he was upset about, but Barry just shook his head.
"I know kid," he said and he ruffled the boy's hair with a slight smile, "and I'm glad you feel that way…" his tone suddenly became moan-y again, "but Iris is STILL going to kill me…"
Wally couldn't help but chuckle at this. "SHE'S who you're worried about…? Have you even thought about my mom?"
Barry's eyes widened, but he smirked a bit at Wally. "Good luck convincing her to let you go out again, if THAT'S how you're gonna play it."
Wally groaned a bit, too.
"Wanna just fix it now and we can get ice cream to take your mind off of it? Your high metabolism will also heal it a bit faster… maybe they don't have to know," Barry suddenly decided. Wally nodded, eyes wide in a bit of desperation at the idea and Barry laughed, changing their course.
"Ben and Jerry's it is."
