I am so sorry. So you know that awkward moment when you can't remember what your freaking email was? Yeah, I have one than more email because each one had a complication like this one couldn't send messages the other couldn't receive. It's a mess. I couldn't remember all of them and I finally remembered the email. Yeah it didn't take me a whole year to figure it out, but I also had to think about what to write next. All that time searching for the email left me drawing a blank. Anyways, I am so sorry and I hope that you can all forgive me. Any suggestions and ideas are always welcomed and I accept any criticism, so bring it on. You can yell at me for the unforgivable long update as well. Enjoy the story!

Diana and Shayera were in one of the many computer rooms in the watchtower, looking up Wally's mother. "Her name is Mary West," Shayera supplied.

"Any middle name?" Diana asked

She shook her head, "Not that I know of."

"Okay, well we know Wally's full name so let's just look him up and get his mother from there." She suggested

Shayera nodded as Diana typed in 'Wallace Rudolph West'. Shayera just couldn't help but smile at the fact that he had the worst name she has heard yet. Diana briefly read all the information on Wally, looking for his mother's name. She found it and was about to click on her name to get her information when Shayera stopped her. "Wait."

"What?" Wonder Woman asked impatiently

"Does it bother you that there isn't any information on Wally," she pointed out. "Shouldn't there be tons of information on him since he's a part of the League?"

Diana furrowed her eyebrows and went over the information again. She was right. There was very little information on him. There was information on the fact that he lived with his parents until he was 14, where the record showed that Mary West left. Then two years later, she was presumed dead after two years of searching for her. At the age of 12, it said he was in the hospital after a chemistry experiment went bad. Then at age 16, it was said that Wally went to live with his aunt and uncle, no explanation given. Then there came the lengthy details of where he went to school, awards he received, ect. "Why isn't there that much information on him?" Diana questioned

"You would think that information would be on this data base. There should also be information on him on the internet, but there isn't any."

"Maybe nobody bothered to post anything about him until he was 16," Wonder Woman suggested.

Shayera smirked, "Or a certain bat deleted it from existence."

Diana thought about this, "Why would he do that? Why go to such lengths to hide this information about his life?"

"Now isn't that the question?" another voice said from the doorway.


"So how are the Titans looking?" Wally asked

"Pretty good," Dick commented.

"And Kory…?" Wally smirked

Batman looked at his old protégé and asked, "Who's Kory?"

Dick glared at Wally before responding, "Like you don't know."

"True," Bruce said, "But what relation does she have to you?"

"She's Master Dick's current love interest," Alfred responded as he cut his steak.

Dick dropped his utensils and asked, "And how did you come to this conclusion?"

"He was probably spying," Iris told him.

"Alfred, were you spying on me one of the times that I videoed Kory while visiting?" he questioned

Alfred scoffed, "Of course not! I was merely dusting the dirt off the Batmobile."

"So who is going to tell me about this relationship?" Batman asked

"Not me," Dick smirked.

"Dick will hunt me down, so not me," Wally said as he continued to eat his food.

"Alfred?"

"If I tell Master Dick of his relations, I may slip some information about your doings Master Bruce," Alfred smirked.

"What 'doings'?" Wally asked

"Yes, enlighten us Al," Dick ushered.

"I couldn't possibly do that Master Dick. What you and Master Bruce do in your free time is none of anyone's business."

"Apparently not to you," Bruce replied.

"What? You think being around Batman and Robin hasn't rubbed off on him in some way or another?" Iris laughed

"Well Al's definitely a troll like him," Wally said, gesturing to Dick.

That's how their lunch pretty much went. They laughed together, and got to catch up with each other. It was probably one of the most stress-free moments the five has had in a long time. It felt nice to not have something constantly weighing on your shoulders. They were all having a good time, and they all seemed like a family if you didn't know who they were. You could see a grandfather, a mother, a father, and two sons. The red-headed son suddenly had the urge to go. He excused himself from the table and made a very speedy walk to the bathroom in the back of the restaurant. What Wally didn't see was another man watching him, and as soon as he passed him, the man got up to follow him. The two bats, however, did notice.

Wally smiled as he walked to the bathroom; the mood of having dinner with family just makes him smile, even if he wasn't with them at the moment. He approached the urinal, did his business, and went to go wash his hands. A man came to the sink next to him and started washing his hands too. Wally gave a brief glance at him, and then went back to looking at his hands that he was washing. It took him a moment, but he snapped his head back up to look at the familiar guy, just in time to see a fist coming at his face. He grunted as the force pushed him back into the wall behind him.

He held his now bleeding nose and glared at the man smirking at his pain, like he did so many years ago. "So what do I owe this pleasure of meeting you here today?" Wally asked sarcastically

"Consider it the will and testimony of Rudolph West," the man replied back, advancing on the boy.

"Didn't know the selfish bastard cared enough to leave anything to anyone," he sneered.

"Didn't know why he didn't finish the job when he had the chance," the man laughed.

Wally growled in anger and ran at the man. He punched the man in the face, followed up by a knee to the stomach. The man attacking Wally wiped the blood from his mouth and threw another punch at him. Wally caught it and sneered in his face, "It's not that easy to hit me anymore."

"No," he agreed, "but you're still as stupid as ever."

He used his other fist to punch Wally in the stomach. Wally doubled over in pain, catching a glimpse at the brass knuckles on his hands, when he was hit in the face by them, sending him spiraling into the sinks. Before the man could take another swing, Dick came from behind and swept out his legs, making him fall to the ground. The man didn't even get to see who the man was that attacked him before Dick elbowed him in the temple, knocking him out.

Wally's best friend stood up and offered him a hand. Wally took it and pulled himself up with the help of his friend. "You okay there?" Dick asked

"Yeah, nothing like feeling the rush right after you relieve yourself."

Dick gave out a little laugh and looked down at the unconscious man. "Recognize him?"

"How can I forget him," Wally glared.

"Come on, Bruce, Al and Aunt Iris are waiting in the car."

"He didn't come alone," Wally said, pointing to the man. "They never do."

"Okay, Bruce, Al and Aunt Iris are in the car after Bruce took care of the rest. Let's go."

Wally stepped over the body and began to walk towards the door with Dick. Before he reached the door though, Wally quickly turned around to kick the unconscious man, but Dick grabbed his stomach to pull him back before he could kick the man. Wally tried to break free of the grasp, but Dick just wrapped his arms around his torso and flung him back into the wall next to the door. Before Wally could go at the man again, Dick placed his hands on his chest and said to him, "Wally, let it go."

"Don't tell me what to do! You weren't there!" Wally growled

"I know it wasn't, but this isn't the way to solve it! I know he deserves it, but this isn't the way. He can go away to jail now. Whatever happened in the past, is in the past," Dick tried.

"It's never in the past," Wally told him, "not for me."

Dick didn't know what to make of that. Did he just mean that he is still holding on or that it really isn't the past? Is there something still going on? Dick didn't give it much thought yet, for the situation wasn't the thing that needed attention right now, it was Wally. Dick looked Wally in the eyes, and saw the pure hatred in them directed to the unconscious man. Wally felt his stare and looked into Dick's softening blue eyes. All the hatred that was filled in his eyes suddenly drifted away into a kinder and sadder look. Once the ebony haired man saw that the red head wasn't going to make another run at the man, he dropped his hands.

They kept looking at each other's eyes, and Dick could see the tears forming in his eyes. Dick pulled his broken best friend into a hug and let him cry it out on his shoulder. He felt his phone go off in his pocket, but he let it ring. He knew it was Bruce, calling to ask what was taking them so long. He ignored it and continued to comfort Wally. Wally sobbed out, "I just don't know what to do anymore."

"That's why I'm here," was his response.

He felt his phone vibrate again, but he let it be. Bruce could wait just a little while longer.


"I told you to leave it alone," John Stewart said to Shayera and Diana.

"But you have to admit it sounds strange," Shayera tried.

John answered, "It doesn't matter. It's his business; keep your noises out of it."

He went to close his door on them when Diana stuck her foot out to keep it open. "Did you know about this?"

"Does it matter?"

"Yes," she said fiercely.

He sighed and said, "Come in."

The two ladies walked in and immediately sat down on the couch while John sat down in a chair across from them. "Before we discuss this, how much do you know?"

"Not much," Diana admitted. "We know that after Wally's mother and father divorced, she took a cruise on the Caribbean."

"Then at the end of the cruise, it crashed and Mary was presumed dead." Shayera continued

"Yeah, presumed," John said. "They didn't actually find the body. Many were taken directly to the hospital, and nobody bothered to follow up on them, seeing as they thought the doctors or the patients would call their families themselves. They assumed Mary wasn't one of the people taken in because she didn't call anyone. Everyone just thought she was one of the people who sank to the bottom."

"That's awful," Diana said.

"Yeah, shouldn't they have dove down under or something to make sure?" Shayera asked

"I wish they did," he replied.

"So how are we going to find her?" Diana asked

"Whoa there; there will be no searching." John said, standing up

"Why the hell not?" Shayera asked angrily

"Because Wally has accepted the fact that she died, I don't want to give him false hope just so we can crush it if we can't find her, and I refuse to lie to him about it too. Second, if Mary West is indeed alive, she doesn't want to be found. If she wanted to be found, she would have contacted Wally by now."

"Why are you so against us doing something for him?" Shayera asked

"I'm not; if you want to do something nice for him, be my guest, but don't get into his personal life without his permission. There is a reason why you can't find anything on the computers about him."

"We're not using the computer anymore," Shayera smirked.

John glared and asked, "Then what are you using?"

"A man that has all the answers to our questions." Diana supplied
