Chapter Three - Anything Could Happen.

*PAST*

His lips feel dry, cracking from the lack of hydration. Tears escaped from his green eyes as he tries to silent the screams that are ripping throughout his overused throat. He hears a sweet lullaby in his ear, soothing him that it'll be alright. To hold on just a bit longer. His tastes the bitter coppery taste of his own blood that he recently had coughed up and it had splattered on the porcelain like face of the bird.

The mission wasn't supposed to end up like this. Not at all…

There was so much blood shed…

Screams that could leave most deaf…

And enough tears that could form a river for a fallen comrade…

It takes a lot for Wally to resurface to the material world as he stares up and is almost blinded by the lights that shine over him. He lets out a groan that almost sounds inhuman. He closes his eyes again and shifts to the side but he stops for pain erupts and he lets out a cry and the corners of his eyes begin to blacken and he falls back into the blackened world.

"Come on Kid, you can sleep in your afterlife. Time to wake up."

The speedster lets his eyes crack open from what his mentor had asked him to do. The room is a lot dimmer than the first time Wally had awoken and he can now not worry about his vision. He looks at his mentor who grimaces at him and notices that the cowl of his mentor's uniform was off his face.

"Do you remember what happened?" Wally replies with a 'yes.' and he hears that his voice sounds strained with the lack of use.

"My head hurts" He confesses shifting a bit to feel that tubes shoved everywhere on his body and groans at the embarrassment.

"Mine would as well if a psycho ragged a knife in my temple." Wally heard his uncle say and he groaned at the thought.

"Where's Rob?" Wally asks and he watches his uncle nod down on his right side and the speedster trails his eyes down to see Robin asleep his top half laying on the side of Wally's bed, his hands clasped with Wally's right hand while the lower half sitting in a chair. Robin wasn't in costume like Wally's uncle. Instead he had on black sweatpants and a long-sleeve hooded sweatshirt, and those damn blackened shades that Wally loathed dearly.

"He hasn't left your side since we got you out of surgery." Barry said and Wally eyes widen at the news.

"Seriously?" and the speedster watches the older speedster nod.

Suddenly as though the little bird finally thought that this would be the perfect time to awaken. Opened his eyes behind his shades and begins to stretch out his limbs, and yawned out.

"Nice nap?"

His voice is so course that the bird almost jumped when he heard it. He looks up noticing Wally was now looking down at him.

"It was alright." Robin replied, rubbing his thumb on Wally's hand, watching as Barry Allen stepped out of the room. After telling Wally he would be back in a while.

"How are you feeling?" Dick asked inching closer to the ginger and Wally just shrugs shifting back on the pillows.

"Is Tula?" Dick hears Wally ask and he knows Wally couldn't finish the sentence.

Dick couldn't even respond verbally as he nods and he watches as Wally's eyes begin to water, and he clasps his hand over his mouth to hide his cries.

"Shh. I know." Dick tries to comfort as he gets up and wraps his arms around his boyfriend's neck.

"I tried helping. If I was only fast as the Flash." Wally said throughout his sobs, and all Dick can do was rub the speedsters' back soothingly as he said, "She knew the risk Wally. No one would ever think to blame you for her death. It's time for you too stop crying and calm down. Think of your head injury."

"You know once you start crying, you can't stop even if you want to!" Wally cried out and Dick smiled a bit even though the pain of the sudden loss was tearing him apart. He leaned closer to the speedster, whispering out before he let his lips touch the speedsters' "You're right." He feels Wally's lips move against him and once they broke apart Dick looked into Wally's freckled face.

"You've stopped." He whispered moving his thumb to wipe the remaining tears that had fallen from the speedster's eyes and snuggled his face on Wally's shoulder.

*Present*

Blüdhaven, 4:34 am

Wednesday, July 15 2015

Dick awakens from a horrific sound in the night, turns, and almost falls off the couch he was recently sleeping on.

"Damn it." he whispers to himself, gripping the plush cushions and he slides quietly off the couch and walks over to his and Wally's bedroom, opening the door, and watches in misery as the speedster turns restlessly on the large bed that dominated the room. He walks up by the side of the bed where Wally was jerking uncontrollably and put a hand on Wally's slightly freckled brow.

This almost happens every night since a couple of months ago. Ever since that mission a few years back. It all went wrong. That one strike to the head, and now the speedster had to deal with these terrible seizures.

"Hush," Dick whispers, as Wally's seizure subsides and Dick begins to put Wally in the recovery position, moving the speedsters' legs and arms, making sure to keep Wally's chin up to keep the epiglottis open.

Dick lets out a sigh as Wally face begins to soften and he falls into a deep sleep. 'It's over for tonight' Dick thinks, getting up and walked into the kitchen where he had left his phone and started to dial a number.

"You told me to call you if it happened again this week." Dick says over the phone, opening the refrigerator and pulled out the ingredients to the spinach omelet recipe he found online awhile ago and decided to make it for the speedster when he would awaken.

"How bad was it?" He hears on the other line. As he grabs a bowl from the top cabinet.

"Not his usual. He just screamed in the beginning. His sleeping at the moment though." Dick says juggling his phone between his shoulder and ear, as he cracks three eggs into a bowl and starts to stir the yellow yolks together.

"Is that Uncle Barry?" Wally asks walking behind the acrobat who jumps at the sound of his voice and turns to look at him. His cell phone clutched in his left hand while the right was a plate of breakfast food.

"Yeah, it is. How are you feeling?" Wally absently hears Dick ask and he shrugs and takes the phone from his boyfriend and stalks back into the room and silently shuts the door behind him.

"Hello?" he asks, sitting on the bed and tucked his knees into his chest.

"Hey Kid, another one?"

"I suppose." Wally says quietly. Slightly annoyed with his uncle for the nickname. He wasn't a kid anymore. More than anything he wasn't a hero anymore.

"Did you skip out on the medicine again?" he hears on the other line and he bites his lip.

"No."

"Wally, don't lie. I know you have a habit of forgetting. Dick can't always be there to have you remember. By the way, you remember Adam Strange? He wants you to come in next week Friday to run some more tests."

Wally rolled his eyes, letting a hand run through his ginger locks. "Whatever."

"Wally?" He hears his Uncle ask and the door to the bedroom opens up, revealing Dick with a platter of food.

"I gotta go. Love you." Wally says, ignoring the protests of his uncle and hung up the phone, letting a sigh escape his lips.

"I'm not hungry." Wally says as Dick sets the food in front of him and he watches as the bird give him a look.

"Yeah right." Dick says and glares at the once Kid Flash. "Why haven't you taken your pills?"

Wally feels himself shrug and takes a sip of the orange juice that was on the tray.

"Seriously Wally you're getting surgery by the end of August. The doctors wanted you to be consistent with your medication."

"I know alright." Wally snaps, setting his drink down and turned his head away from the acrobat.

"Than why haven't you been taking the medication?"

"I forgot!" Wally barks still not looking at the acrobat.

"Do you like these seizures or something?" Wally can feel his eyes widen as he turns to look at Dick who was sitting next to him.

"Like it? Would you like not remembering at slice of your life for mere minutes? Or that you had to give up everything you once loved about your life because of epilepsy? Of course I hate it. Why would even ask that?"

"Because frankly you like something about it. That's why you skip your pills sometimes." Dick says calmly and Wally huffed out.

"You know Wally you helped me through all of those night terrors. And I never gave up because I knew that you were always there for me. Now it's my turn to return the favor. Just tell me please?"

Wally looks at his hands for a while deciding if he should just keep his mouth shut but the slight touch from the acrobat has him talking, "I'm afraid that if I get a bit better from this. Everyone will want me back into the hero business. But I can't be Kid Flash anymore. I can't be a hero anymore."

So, I wanted my own little way of explaining why Wally quit. Also I apologize that there hasn't been slash. Maybe the next chapter... If I get a lot of reviews. ;)

PLEASE REVIEW IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY! :D

With Love,
