Okay so yes, he was angry. This wasn't really a normal state for him to be in, so what? Really? Did they need to stare at him like this? Maybe it wasn't that he was angry, maybe it was the stupid irritating person following behind him.

"Go away John, I have a secret identity to keep you know."

"Not a chance ginger, I want to see your life behind the mask."

"First of all, I'm just like the F-L-A-S-H out of costume. And second, Ginger is a very offensive term, most gingers have to go through therapy to forget the hateful words directed at us. Also contrary to popular belief we do have souls."

"Hey Wall-do!"

From across the courtyard a tall brown haired guy ran, he seemed to be a bit of a class clown, while running he stumbled like an idiot and managed to regain his balance, laughing. He ran up and gave Wally a noogie, laughing riotously.(1)

"Seriously man where have you been? You're more elusive than your friend in the red and white striped suit."

"Har-d-harhar Ryan, just hilarious."

The brown haired guy, Ryan, flipped his floppy hair out of his eyes and laughed. "Psh you know it. Anyway who's the hanger-on, one of my adoring fans?"

"No, he's just irritating me."

"Ooo, harsh dude, want to ditch 'im?"

"We could try."

Ryan's demeanor sharpened a touch and he smiled mischievously. "You know I love a challenge."

John had been trying to follow this conversation for the past couple of minutes, but now he felt like he needed to say something.

"Wait a minute, What?"

Then Ryan did something not totally unexpected.

"Oi, dude, go away. Wally has classes,(Ryan mimed opening a book)to go, (He then mimed walking with two fingers on his opposite hand) to. (with this he pointed urgently in one direction) See ya Wally's hanger on!"

Ryan then grabbed Wally and, with speed that nearly rivaled Wally's, he pulled Wally quickly across the courtyard.

John was left shell-shocked standing in the quickly emptying courtyard. John was definitely sure that this day had not gone the way he had thought it would.

Wally was being stared at, again. This hadn't been unexpected at all, however Wally had hoped that it wouldn't be like this.

"Ya know what chief?" He said, fed up with the "Covert" glances Chief Morgan kept sending his way. "I think I'm gonna have to leave until you can stop thinking I've done something."

Chief Morgan looked shocked at Wally's outburst, but didn't really see any sense in denying anything. "Look kid you have to admit there's good reason to be suspicious."

Wally sighed and pushed the palms of his hands into his eyelids in silent frustration. He had had a sort of weirdly normal day until he had gotten to his criminal justice class. The class today had been being observed by the CCPD, they were going to be taking a field trip to the local penitentiary soon and the police department had wanted to be sure that the students wouldn't act up during the visit.

Wally hadn't really been looking forward to the visit, mostly because it didn't have that much to do with the lab work that he hoped to do. He knew it could be useful however.

Now he wished that the chief would just go back to the station and leave him alone.

"Look Chief, there wasn't really much I could do. The Justice League evidently found the Flash alive and if that's the case, then there wasn't any crime in the first place."

Chief Morgan shook his head, he didn't really know what to think about this. "Just be good kid."

Wally shook his head, smiling ruefully, this guy was impossible. "Alright Chief."

Sometimes despite what we've seen can be truth truth is undoubtedly stranger than fiction. Superman had thought that nothing could surprise him any more, he'd seen so many weird things, he'd died a couple of times, been to distant galaxies, originally come from distant galaxies. Nothing, however, surprised him more than the triumphant smile worn on Wally's face as he managed to steal the last slice of pizza from John.

Suffice to say, Clark had read Batman's summary on the life of Wally West, it hadn't seemed fun or at all easy. Yet here was the kid, (His age had been surprising to say the least) smiling and laughing more than anyone. Wally was the kind of person that touched people's lives. He always wanted to help people who couldn't help themselves, and even if he knew he couldn't do anything he tried.

Wally was a good person, you didn't get that all that often anymore.

(1) This guy may laugh too much.

A.N. Okay so I know I kept you guys hanging for forever, and then I give you this cruddy chapter,(that wraps up no loose ends) but my muse died for this story, and I wanted to finish. Thanks for all the reviews everyone, I really appreciated you reading this story. DFTBA

A/N: Edited as of 10/28/12 and I had to do like nothing to fix this, so that was good. I plan to put a little one shot chapter in next so that my adoring followers get what they asked for, another chapter. That will most probably be the last chapter of this though.
