THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND IDEAS YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GIVING ME. SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET THIS CHAPTER UP. I HAVE HAD FAMILY ISSUES.

Chapter 3

Three days had passed since the simulations that had caused Wally to go from being a happy go lucky speedster to someone whose spirit had been broken. The team were dying to know what had happened to Wally but knew that they could not invade his privacy.

Everyone was required to under go therapy with Black Canary which everyone did thus revealing what had happened and how they had felt during the mission. Superboy had stormed out and during his time with Sphere he had met some people from New Genesis calling themselves new Gods. After a battle with some baddies which resulted in Sphere having been discovered was female, getting injured and after Superboy told the New Gods that he had bonded with Sphere and wanted her to stay on Earth with him. The New Gods agreed with Superboy and let Sphere stay. Once Superboy returned he went to therapy to talk about him not want to be Superman but to be who he wanted to be.

Wally was the last one to undergo therapy as he had spent the past three days at home with his family as the young speedster needed his family more than anything. Barry and Iris had taken a few days off from both jobs to spend with Wally who needed the comfort. Jay and Joan had come over as well to help their surrogate grandson.

Jay had a feeling that Wally's disappearing in the simulation may have more side affects than what everyone else would think. But Jay would say something when the time called for it. Right now Wally needed his family to help him through this difficult time.

Wally had come to the cave and headed straight to the therapy room not even bothering to look at his friends. Which told them that something really bad had happened to the young speedster.

Once Wally was out of hearing range, Robin looked over to his teammates. "Okay, that's it! I don't care that we said that we would wait until Wally was ready to tell us. We need to know now what happened." Robin growled out.

"I for once agree with Robin. We do need to know what happened so that we can help Wally deal with his pain." Kaldur replied. He like the others wanted to know what had happened to Wally.

Several hours passed before Wally had reentered the room looking a little better than he did when he came in. Apparently talking to Black Canary had helped him greatly.

The red head went into the kitchen to get something to eat. Imangine his surprise to find M'gann with a tray full of non burnt cookies just for him.

Wally smiled at the Martian and grabbed a few. He knew something was up and it had to do with what had happened in the simulation. Wally also knew that his friends were only concerned about him as they had a right to be.

Wally really didn't want to tell his team about what had happened to him for the sake of being treated like a baby which M'gann had a habit of doing. He also didn't want to feel weak in front of his team.

"Wally, no one is going to think that." M'gann whispered since she was the only one who was in the kitchen.

Wally looked at M'gann with anger. Did she invade his mind when she promised not to do that?

"I didn't do that on purpose Wally. Your mind is projecting a lot of thoughts that it's hard for me to ignore. I would never read your mind unless you give me permission to do that." M'gann told her fellow red head. She understood why Wally would think that she had invaded his mind. Wally was scared and confused much like she is with his powers and what had happened in the Failsafe Simulation.

Wally looked at M'gann with a sorry smile on his face. "Sorry, M'gann for snapping at you. It just that I don't know what to think anymore. What happened to me in the simulation really had an effect on me and it's scares me. It scares me to the point that I don't want to use my powers anymore." Wally told the Martian who had a look on her face that let Wally know that she knew what he was going through.

M'gann walked over to the speedster and wrapped her arms around the distraught speedster. "I don't know exactly how you feel but I do know what it feels like not to want to use your powers for fear of something happening. It was because of my powers that we all thought that Artemis had been killed. You were around for what happened next even though we tried to contact you but you were to far out of my reach." M'gann explain and than told Wally what had happened when he had ran off. M'gann told Wally about when Artemis was killed that her subconscious took over into thinking that that the simulation was real. That Martian Manhunter told her she had tapped into a stronger power than he could ever have.

"M'gann, listen to me very carefully. What happened was not your fault and will never be your fault. I will never blame you for what happened. Who I blame is myself for what I did and I think that I really should tell you what happened to me as I know this is a way to get me to open up. Which I think that if you can tell me something that is painful than I think I can tell you what happened." Wally told M'gann as he forced her to look into his eyes. He would never be able to blame M'gann for what had happen. It was not and will never be her fault.

"I'll go tell the team that you want to tell them what happened." M'gann replied as she floated out of the kitchen to the living room.

Wally let out a sigh. He knew that he would have to tell his friends but like he thought before, he was scared that his friends would think of him different.

The speedster waited until he heard that everyone was in the living room before he moved from his spot in the kitchen. This was one of the few times he was scared to death to talk.

Wally took a deep breath before he went into the living room where everyone was waiting for him. He could see the looks of worry on everyone's faces. It hurt the speedster to think that he had hurt his friends.

As soon as Wally entered the living room, he walked straight to the couch to sit down. Part of him didn't want to tell his team anything, but another part of him knew that he needed to tell the team.

"Take your time My Friend." Kaldur told the speedster.

Wally smiled at his gilled friend. The red head took a deep breath before he spoke.

"You guys need to know what happened to me. First thing you should know is that I'm not sure what really happened to me. But I can tell you that ever since I got my powers I've always been slower than my mentor. Flash thinks that it was a mental barrier that cause me to be slower than him." Wally explained as why he was slower than his uncle.

"But what does that have to do with..." Robin asked only to trail off when he realized what had happened in the simulation.

"When Artemis was killed so to speak, Flash thinks my mental barrier was broken do to the fast of me not being fast enough to save her. I had so much enegery that I had to run. I ran so fast that I entered something called The Speed Force which in the best terms to explain is a paradise to Speedsters. We never want to leave. Now from what Manhunter told me was that when my body in the simulation started to disappear so did my body in the real world. The mentors still don't know how my body came back but I think it came back because you guys were brought out of the simulation but they aren't sure." Wally told him friends.

"So you're saying that if you go too fast that you'll disappear into thin air?" M'gann asked feeling bad that the whole Failsafe was disaster because of her.

"Yeah. The problem is that the Speed Force is like a drug. Once you get a taste of it, you crave it for the rest of your life. Which is why I don't think that you guys will be seeing a lot of me for a while as I need to deal with what I'm going through. Oh M'gann, what happened is not and will never be your fault. We all have issues that will only come out in stress or danger." Wally told everyone but facing M'gann at the last part he said.

M'gann had tears in her eyes at what Wally had said. He didn't blame her for anything that had happened. The female Martian flew over to where Wally was sitting and hugged the daylights out of the speedster muttering a lot of 'thank yous'.

Wally just hugged M'gann back as he let her cry on his shoulder. It was true that Wally didn't blame M'gann for what had happened a few days ago. It wasn't her fault that her powers when out of control.

"So when do you think we'll be seeing you again?" Superboy asked not upset one bit that Wally was hugging his girlfriend as it was just a comfort hug.

"I really don't know at this moment. But I need to do this as I need to control my powers before I hurt someone." Wally replied as he let go of M'gann who was still crying softly.

"I hope that you find yourself My Friend. You will be missed on the team and at the mountain." Kaldur told his friend.

Wally smiled as he got up and went to the Zeta Tubes. The Zetas activated. Just as Wally was about to enter the tubes to take him home, he turned around to smile at his friends. "I hope to see you guys soon and when I come back, please don't treat me like a fragile or something because I'm not." Wally told his friends before entering the Zetas to go home.

Next chapter Wally deals with his fears of going too fast while Barry helps his 'son' deal with what happened to him.
