Chapter 4: Where's Wally?

Name: Kid Flash

Status: MIA

Last Seen: November 22, 2011, in Washington D.C.

Days Missing: 4 Days.

It had been one of the most strange Thanksgiving breaks for the Boy Wonder. Beyond that, even, and for a teenager that fights criminals such as the Joker and the Penguin, that was quite out of the norm. During the holidays, for as long as Dick had known Roy and Wally, the Bat, Speedster and Arrow family had always celebrated together.

Sure it took a bit more to get Roy to come along these days, but they still managed to drag the hat-throwing, solo archer to the celebrations. He was a sucker for the puppy-dog face.

But on this holiday, the one person that didn't show up was Wally.

Both Dick and Roy thought it was beyond strange-near apocalyptic, in fact. Thanksgiving was Wally's favorite holiday of all time. For Wally to not show up was unheard of, and it made absolutely no sense.

When Dick asked Uncle Barry, the speedster stumbled over his words. It wasn't until Aunt Iris cut in that the speedster was able to fix his sentences (read: just nodding along with what Iris said.) Iris had told them that Wally wasn't feeling well and caught a nasty bug before reassuring the two boys that he was fine, and that he told them to celebrate without him.

Dick had a hard time believing Aunt Iris since he knew for a fact that speedsters hardly, if ever, get sick, and Barry would always be there for Wally if he was ever sick. But before Dick was able to ask more questions about Wally, Bruce cut in, and steered the topic in a completely different direction.

Dick eventually accepted the excuse and texted his best friend-no, scratch that-he basically blew up his phone. But he received no response to any of the messages.

Roy didn't seem very concerned, but Dick knew that Roy was just as worried as he was. The archer told him not to worry about it, making a promise that they would bug him about it the next day.

Expect Wally didn't even show up for Black Friday.

It was a tradition that Wally himself started. The three of them always went out on Black Friday, mainly to cause trouble, such as getting in people's way, taking things that people were after and not buying them, all in the spirit of pissing the customers off. The best thing about the tradition was watching Roy trip people running down an aisle.

Wally was never one to miss his own tradition; the speedster was the one who made sure they showed up. For Wally not to show up was really, really wrong.

Dick had even asked Bruce about the matter, but the unmasked Dark Knight had simply said, 'not to worry about it.' But Dick knew that Bruce knew what was wrong with Wally, and wasn't going to tell him anything. It was always just a simple, 'Don't worry about it.'

How could the Boy Wonder not worry about it?

If Wally was truly, honestly sick, Dick's phone would be exploding with playful complaints, and Wally asking him repeatedly to bring him a sandwich. Last time he was ill, Dick had gotten 75 messages, all just saying: 'Bring me a sandwich.'

But he had received nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

The last message Dick had received from Wally was: 'Dude, brb, Uncle B and I have to run to the Hall and do mission reports. What is it with Bruce and these reports? I mean seriously? What happened on the mission? Shit blew up, we kicked ass, 'nuff said.'

That was the last he had heard from Wally.

It was as if the Wally had just vanished, and everyone was just completely ignoring it.

Robin was startled from his thoughts when a hand was placed on his shoulder. He glanced over his shoulder and saw Kaldur giving him a worried look.

"Are you alright, Robin?" Kaldur asked, concern clearly evident in his voice. "You have not been yourself today, are you not feeling well?"

It wasn't just Kaldur looking at him with concern, in fact, it was the entire team. Just how long had he zoned out for?

"No," Robin assured his team. "I'm fine." But it was clear that the team was not going to buy the half-hearted lies he was feeding them, not by the way they were looking at him. Robin shifted in his seat, cheeks flushed from being under their intense stares. "Um…I'll be right back, I have to check something."

"Okay, what was that about?" Artemis asked, looking at the rest of the team. They were all curious about what had caused the Boy Wonder to become completely unaware of his surroundings.

"M'gann?" Kaldur asked quietly, glancing at the martian.

Miss Martian glanced over at the boy, who was typing furiously at the holographic computer. She frowned a bit at his emotions. "He is rather confused about something, almost anxious," M'gann explained quietly, watching a frustrated expression appear on bird's features. "It's as if he is waiting for something."

"He has been checking his phone repeatedly," Artemis pointed out. Coincidentally, as soon as those words left the archer's lips, the Boy Wonder checked his phone almost compulsively, before returning to the computer in front of him.

"Do you think this has something to do with Wally not being around?" M'gann asked softly.

Connor gave a slight shrug. "Where is Wally? Haven't seen him in days, or heard from him at all."

"The cave has been abnormally quiet lately."

"I don't know, its been nice," Artemis said instantly, but after seeing the others' glares, she let out a frustrated sigh. "Alright, fine! I'm worried too!"

It had been nearly a week since the team had even seen Wally. He had taken the entire week off to spend time with his family for the holidays before he was supposed return. They were concerned when Robin told them that he hadn't seen him. But they all brushed it off, assuming he was with his family.

"I'm going to Central!" Robin called to them, walking towards the zeta-tube, frustration evident in his voice.

"We shall join you," Kaldur announced, rising from his seat, obtaining the attention of the Boy Wonder, who opened his mouth to protest about company. "We are all worried about Wally. I think he'll appreciate that we all came to make sure he is well."

Robin's jaw snapped shut, and he let out a sigh. "Fine."

The flight to Central City was silent.

Too silent.

There was a huge amount of tension radiating off of the team in the bioship, most of it coming from Robin. The rest of the team was just as anxious. Not having Wally around to lighten the mood was awful.

When the bioship finally landed in Central City, Robin bolted off the ship before his teammates could even blink an eye. He raced to the Allen household, skipping all the steps in one leap, and rang the doorbell three times.

"You could have waited for us!" Artemis spat crossly, giving the bird a small smack to the back of the head, before crossing her arms in annoyance. "We don't know the address like you do!"

Robin didn't respond, or even acknowledge that the team was there. He simply cupped his hands around his eyes and looked through the window, trying to see if anyone was coming to the door.

"Patience is a virtue, my friend," Kaldur said calmly, placing his hands on Robin's shoulder.

Still, Robin didn't say a word, instead he cast a quick glance to the driveway. Iris's car was there, but Barry's wasn't. So Iris was here. He was getting frustrated. Why hadn't she answered the door yet? He rang the doorbell again, and again.

A hand gently grabbed Robin's wrist. "Robin, please," Kaldur said sternly, not understanding why the bird was acting the way he was. "You must calm down."

Before Robin could yell at him, the door to the Allen household opened. Robin blinked at seeing an exhausted Iris. Her eyes were puffy and bloodshot, almost as if…

"Aunt Iris, are you alright?" Robin asked in surprise. She had been crying, but what was she cry ing about? Was it about Wally? "What's going on?

Iris gave a weak smile, but it wasn't hard to see that it was completely forced. She stepped aside, letting the teenagers into her home.

It felt strange. The Allen household normally held a warm, welcoming feeling; it was always full of life, mostly due to the fact of the two speedsters that resided there. But now, it had a cold, almost unwelcoming feeling.

"I-I," Iris started, then cleared her throat. "I suspect that you're here about Wally?" Iris asked, sitting down on the couch. Robin quickly claimed the seat next to her.

"Yes," Kaldur nodded. "We have not heard from him in days. We grew concerned, and decided that it was time we check on our friend. Is he well?"

Iris bit down on her lip, and turned her head away. It was clear she was trying desperately not to cry.

M'gann shuddered a bit. The emotions seeping out of the woman were despair and fear. It made her want to cry as well.

"Is Wally, okay?" Artemis asked, shifting in her seat. She didn't like how Iris was acting, she had a bad feeling. Was there something wrong with Wally that she wasn't telling them?

"Where is he?" Connor asked. He had used his heat vision to look around the house. They were the only ones there.

"He's not here," Iris managed to choke out.

Quick glances were exchanged between the team. Wally wasn't there? Where else could he be?

Robin bit his lip, "Is he with Grandpa Jay? With Flash? Or out running around?" Robin asked, he frowned, when Iris shook her head.

"W-Where is he?" M'gann asked carefully, trying to prevent her voice from cracking.

Tears slowly dripped down Iris's face, and she turned her head away again. She couldn't tell them. Barry had told her that they couldn't know. Finding Wally was a League matter; they didn't want to risk another disappearing.

"Guys," Robin said quietly, getting his team's attention. "Can you give us a few minutes? Go wait in the bioship…please."

"What?!" Artemis spat-she wasn't going to just get up and leave. She wanted to know where he teammate was, just like everyone else. It was the reason they came to Central City in the first place.

"We want to know where Wally is too!" Connor growled at the Boy Wonder.

"Just trust me on this," Robin said, glancing over at Kaldur for a moment.

They stared at each other. It was a long, agonizing two minutes before the leader finally sighed. "Understood," Kaldur said standing up, and the team followed suit.

"You can't be serious?" Artemis scowled. "We came all this way to find Baywatch, and now we don't get to know where he is?"

"This is not up for debate," Kaldur said sternly, making the entire team stiffen.

Slowly, one by one, each member walked out of the house, dawdling and lingering slightly, each glancing over their shoulders at Robin and the distressed woman who sat next to him. But they all knew that because Robin knew her better, he had a better chance of getting answers out of her.

Once the door clicked closed, Robin removed his sunglasses, and trained his blue eyes on Iris. "Aunt Iris," Dick said, his voice soft, "What's going on, and where's Wally?"

Iris let out a choked sob, desperately wiping her eyes, giving a shuddering sigh when Dick took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze of reassurance.

Dick considered Iris as his own aunt, almost a mother figure in a way. He was always allowed over, he could come talk to her sometimes when he was having trouble with Bruce, and even Alfred's words weren't enough. She put up with him, Wally and Roy more than anyone else.

"Please, Aunt Iris…"

"I-I…" She let out another choked sob. "I can't tell you."

Dick blinked. He was not expecting that as an answer. "Why not?" He was completely confused. There were so many different scenarios running through his head about what could be wrong with his best friend.

"Barry asked me not to."

Barry asked her not to? That really confused the him; Barry was never one for secrets. Not after Cadmus. Why would suddenly go back on his word?

"Please, Aunt Iris," Robin pleaded. "Is something wrong, is he sick? We can help him. Please."

Iris stared at the Boy Wonder. She wanted to tell him so badly. But Barry had asked his wife not to say anything. Finding him was a League priority, but after four days, there was nothing. No leads, no clues.

"H-he's…" Iris couldn't even complete the sentence, it was heartbreaking. "Dick, he's missing."

Dick choked in horror. "What?" Dick cried out. "What do you mean he's missing? Since when?"

Iris let out another sob. "He's been missing for four days."

Dick hugged Iris tightly, letting her cry into his shoulder.

Missing? Four days?

Why the hell would Barry-let alone Bruce-keep that from the team? From him? Wally was Robin's big brother, and Roy's little brother; the middle child. How could they keep that a secret?

"T-they…they haven't found anything, Dick," Iris said, pulling away, rubbing the tears from her eyes. "He just didn't come home from their race…they found his com-link…it had blood on it…his blood!"

Blood? That was never a good sign.

"I'm so worried," Iris choked out. "Barry won't sleep, he won't eat, he's just running around looking for him."

"We'll find him, Aunt Iris," Dick reassured her, taking both her hands into his own and looking at her with determination in his eyes. "I promise, we'll bring him home."

Iris gave him a weak smile. She knew Dick was going to do everything in his power to find his brother. "I know you will, just…just please be careful. You always run into trouble."

"Me?" Dick joked weakly, sounding insulted. "I'm the sensible brother, remember?!" The weak joke made Iris let out a small chuckle.

The two walked to the door, and Iris gave him one last hug before he threw on his sunglasses, ran out the door, and boarded the bioship.

Inside the ship, the entire team was staring at him. They wanted answers.

"I'll explain once we get back to the cave."

For the duration of the ride back to Happy Harbor, Robin tried to figure out why the League kept it from the team. Did Roy know? Probably not, he had to call him.

Once back at the cave, Robin walked over and pulled up the holographic computer. He narrowed his eyes behind his sunglasses and typed furiously, hacking the Justice League system.

No matter how many times Batman improved the system, Robin always found a way around it. Same system as the Batcave, Wayne Tech-tech Robin knew like the back of his hand.

Finally, a larger holographic screen appeared; it was Kid Flash's file. It had everything from his birthday, to his last doctor's appointment, but there was only one thing that mattered. The new information that was recently added to KF's file, only added four days ago.

Name: Kid Flash

Status: MIA

"Missing in action?" Kaldur questioned.

Last Seen: November 22, 2011 in Washington D.C.

Days Missing: 4 Days

"What the hell!?" Artemis snarled. Wally was missing? "Why didn't the League tell us about this?"

"Probably, because they knew our emotions would get the best of us," Kaldur suggested. "Our unit has become synchronized, and lacking a member could throw us off balance, or even possibly-"

"We have the right to know when a teammate is missing!" Conner growled.

"Why don't they trust us with that?" M'gann asked quietly, "Wally is our friend…"

"It's a League matter," Robin scoffed, his masked eyes scanning all the information to see if there were any clues. "Just like the Red Tornado incident, they have nothing to tell us."

"Then let's find him ourselves, like we did Red!" Conner spat.

"We will," Robin said, turning towards Conner. "He was last seen in Washington D.C. I do know that he was going to the Hall with Flash to do overdue mission reports. Aunt Iris said that they had a race, and KF never showed up at the finish line."

"Then our search begins in Washington D.C.," Kaldur said, earning nods from the rest of the team.

Before Kaldur could give the orders to move out, another holographic screen appeared next to the file. The face of the Dark Knight appeared, and he did not look happy.

They were so busted.
