..oo0*0oo..

When Barry left the house, he could barely see Wally. Man, that kid's getting faster, he thought. All that remained of Wally was the fluttering of paper and leaves. As Barry passed stores he winced when the glass shattered.

Soon he lost sight of Wally. Barry stopped. "Wally, where are you?" he shouted in the wind. He searched the city from top to bottom with no avail. It was like Wally was missing. Then his phone rang.

Sighing Barry answered it. "Hello?"

"Allen," It was Batman.

"What do you want Bats?"

"Are you looking for someone?"

"Well, yes, but how-?"

"Wally's in the forest near Gotham." Oh, no wonder Barry couldn't find him in Central City. He wasn't even in Central City.

"Uh, thanks. Does Robin-?"

"No,"

"Well, thanks?"

"Good-bye, Allen," The phone rang dead.

"Well, that was interesting," Barry exclaimed talking to no one in particular. Then he zoomed off to the forest.

Unknown, he was being watched the entire time.

..oo0*0oo..

There was a flying of dirt and leaves and when they settled back down it revealed Barry. "Wally!" he called out. No response. He was in a clearing. On the edge of it was a river. Something in the river caught his eye.

"Wally!" he rushed over to the river and dragged his overturned nephew out of the river. A million thoughts raced through his head. Wally was face down in the water. He could be hurt. How did he get in the river? What if he was face down too long…

"Wally!" he shouted franticly. Right on cue, Wally started coughing. He got on his hands and knees and started coughing up water while Barry rubbed his back.

"U-uncle Barry?" he asked.

"I'm here kiddo."

A few minutes the two of them were sitting across each other leaning against tree trucks. Wally's hair dripped water. The only sound was the river and an occasional owl.

"What happened?" Barry asked gesturing to his wet form and trying to start an conversation.

"I don't know. I think I tripped and fell in the river while running."

After a while, "Kid, I didn't know you felt that way."

"No one did. Not even Rob knew."

"I'm sorry."

"It's alright. I think I might stop. Being a superhero."

"Why?" Barry asked, shocked. This didn't sound like the Wally West he knew.

Wally snorted, "I think the world can live without Kid Flash."

"That's not true! Stop thinking like that!" Barry got up. "What about Robin? When it comes to the anniversary." He said the last part quietly.

"Robin had Red Arrow and Batman. He can talk to them."

"No no no! Kid, I wouldn't be able to continue." Barry looked close to tears and Wally looked shocked. "It wouldn't be the same without Kid Flash. I wouldn't have anyone telling me to hurry up or me to joke with. Wally, you're like my son."

Wally stood up, "Uncle Barry, I didn't know I affected you so much-"Wally was cut off by a hand. Barry started to run, but something hit him in the back, freezing him. Literally, he was covered in ice.

"Now Flash Boy is going to get it.
