Hey Guys! Sorry, this was supposed to get posted yesterday. ;) Anyway, I just wanna say I don't know that much about how panic attacks work cause I've never had one, but I have been claustrophobic before. Mostly when I'm claustrophobic it's when a room is completely dark. Like we've been staying at people's houses before and if the room I'm sleeping in is like pitch black, and it's the same when I close my eyes as when I open them, I freak out, I started breathing quickly, I start crying, and I've unintentionally held my breath before and just silently freaked out. I mean It's happened when there's another person in the room and they didn't even notice just because of how quiet it was when I panicked. Anyway, I kinda just based Wally's fear off of my own like that. Soooooooo yeah. Anyway Shout Outs!:

Summary: Dick and Wally get trapped in an elevator. Wally is claustrophobic.


"Dude! You should've seen the look on his face. Priceless."

"I know right?!" I still can't believe you painted the Bat-mobile PINK!" Wally exclaimed, in between fits of laughter, as they walked into the elevator, both of them dripping wet from running through the rain outside.

Dick cackled, in his Robin laugh. The elevator doors closed as they made their way up the many stories of Wayne Enterprise.

"Yeah, he was NOT happy about that. "He said I had to clean the whole Bat-mobile until the paint was gone. Luckily, I used washable paint, so it came right off." Dick smirked.

Wally was just about dying of laughter as soon as he said that.

"Yeah, next time you should totally-" Wally was cut off by the light flickering out.

Wally breath hitched in his throat, as they were plunged into complete darkness.

Dick quickly turned his phone on putting it on Flashlight mode. "Dude, you good?" He asked. Wally nodded.

Dick put a hand to his ear. activating his communicator.

"Bruce?"

"Are you guys here yet?"

"Yeah. We're in the elevator. But the lights went out and everything."

"The storm has caused a city-wide power outage. They're getting firemen now to get everyone out of the elevators, but it will take a while before they can get to you."

Dick groaned. "How long is a while?"

"I'd say give them at least 45 minutes." Bruce sighed.

"Fine. We'll see you then I guess."

"Sorry, Dick. Call back on the communicator if you need anything."

Dick nodded forgetting for a minute Bruce couldn't see him. "Okay." Then the comm went silent.

...

Wally tried to look at Dick while he was talking on his communicator, seeing as he and Wally were about the only thing illuminated by the dim cellphone.

He tried not to focus on the suffocating darkness that surrounded them. He tried not to think about how the walls seemed to be closing in. With every inhale he took the walls seemed to pulse inwards closing in on him. Suffocating him, to the point every breath seemed as if someone was choking him as the darkness crept closer and closer. It was overwhelming. Without fully realizing it he had started holding his breath, and he had started vibrating violently.

He had backed up so far that he hit a wall.

"WALLY!"

Wally gasped, not fully realizing that he had stopped breathing. His chest felt tight, and he felt choked. as the darkness continued to creep up on him as if trying to crush him.

Dick appeared in his line of vision, although he was blurred, and Wally realized it was because he was vibrating. Dick held his phone up so that the Flashlight illuminated the area, where he had slid to the ground, and where Dick was kneeling beside him.

He couldn't even talk, he tried to focus on Dick, he could tell he was talking but, everything sounded muffled, and he felt hot and could feel himself sweating, as tears burned his eyes running down his cheeks.

...

Dick sighed, "He said they won't be able to get to us for at least 45 minutes." Dick said looking up at Wally.

But was surprised to see his eyes blown wide, flicking around frantically.

He was shaking so much he was starting to vibrate, he was backing up slowly, and his breath hitched, and he hit the wall, sliding down it as his knees gave out.

Dick's eyes grew wide in alarm at his friend. "Wally?" He asked, kneeling down next to his friend, Wally had wasn't breathing properly, as he held his breath.

"Wally? Wally! Answer me!"

"WALLY!"

Wally gasped, but instead of breathing normally his breaths were coming out in short gasps. He was hyperventilating. Shoot.

Dick held up his phone so he could better see Wally, he had tears streaming down his face.

"Wally, listen to me. Wally, you to calm down. Wally, Wally. Wallace Rudolph West! Answer me!"

At the mention of his full name, Wally's eyes flitted over to Dick. "Wally, What's wrong?"

"Can't-breathe. the walls are choking me. I can't breathe, it's too dark, I-I-"

Wally squeezed his eyes shut, before they flew open again, and were wildly looking around.

Oh no. Wally's claustrophobic. Great. He's having a panic attack. Shoot. What do I do? Dick thought.

"Wally, look at me." Wally's panicking eyes made contact with his calm blue ones.

"Um, do you remember that time that we booby trapped Roy's whole apartment for April Fool's Day?" Dick blurted out. Where did that come from? Dick thought.

Wally was still panicking, but still maintained eye contact with the raven-haired boy.

"A-And that time that we got scared of the thunder and ran downstairs at the mansion, and Alfred found us under the blankets in the living room, and he made us cookies and hot chocolate, and read to us until we fell asleep?

Wally was still vibrating and hiccuping slightly, but he didn't have tears running down his face anymore.

"And um," Dick racked his brain for other memories to distract the fearful speedster.

"And, what about that time when we had our first sleepover and you kept kicking me off the bed?" Dick laughed.

Wally stopped vibrating but was still shaking violently.

"And remember that other time when we found out where Alfred had hidden all the cookies and ate ALL of them?"

Wally nodded, smiling weakly.

"And that time we were teaching Connor how to play Mario Kart and he kept falling off the road?" Dick giggled.

Wally nodded, slumping against Dick in exhaustion after the panic attack he had just suffered.

"Or that time when we both got sick and marathoned all those old Disney movies with Aunt Iris?" He some softly.

Wally just mumbled something some kind of reply, his head resting on Dick's shoulder as his eyes slipped shut.

"Or that time when you called me at 3 am because you were bored?" Dick scoffed jokingly.

"Which time?" Wally muttered. Dick let out a quiet laugh, wrapping his arm around Wally. Wally let out a small whimper, but was otherwise silent, Dick helped Wally lie down, with his head on Dick's lap. Wally curled up into a ball and drifted off to sleep.

Dick sighed, carding his fingers through Wally's hair when the speedster let out another whimper.

Dick put his finger to his ear "Bruce?"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing right now, Uh, Wally...had a panic attack, You know how claustrophobic he is..." Dick sighed, running his fingers through Wally's hair again.

"Is he okay?"

"Yeah, he's asleep now. We should probably take him back to the mansion. He's in no condition to make it back to Central City, especially with this storm."

Okay. They should be able to get to you guys in the next 20-30 minutes. Just hang in there okay?"

"Okay Bats," Dick said smirking.

He could practically hear Bruce smirking.

"Over and out."

...

30 minutes later...

Firemen managed to get the elevator up, and opened, and Bruce Wayne was waiting with them as soon as the elevator.

He smiled at the sight before him. Dick sitting on the ground, leaning against the elevator, his hands threaded through Wally's hair. While the latter was curled up, with his head on Dick's lap. Bruce quickly snapped a picture, then put his phone back in his pocket before anyone noticed.

He walked in, putting a hand on Dick's shoulder. Immediately waking the sleeping boy.

"Bruce-?"

"Hey, the elevator's open now," Bruce said softly. Dick looked down at his lap where Wally was still asleep, tear tracks still visible on his cheeks.

Bruce, carefully picked him up, allowing Dick to get up. Then they drove back to the mansion, where the boys spent the rest of the night watching Princess Bride and eating Alfred's cookies.
