This one took a little longer, but I think I was worth it. Thank you again for all the wonderful comments and awesome show of support! It really helps me feel inspired to continue writing this story! Anyway, That's all I have to say for now! Enjoy!
Tiny claws dug into Wally's side, dragging him from the depths of sleep. He blinked tiredly, still half asleep. His green eyes seemed to glow in the dark room, and he was surprised at how well he could see. The claws pierced his side again, Reminding him of what had woken him. He turned to see Robin clinging to his side, trembling slightly. He knew exactly what was going on. Robin had told him years ago that occasionally he still had nightmares about his parents, and they could get really bad.
Wally nudged his friend with his muzzle, trying to wake him up and provide comfort at the same time. Bright blue eyes blinked open, and Robin shot to his feet only to stumble and fall off Wally's flank, landing between his back and the back of the couch. Wally carefully rolled over and turned so his back was facing the edge of the couch and he could see Robin. The small kitten was crouching as close to the couch as possible and he was still trembling.
Wally curled himself around his trembling friend, trying to find a way to comfort him without the ability to talk. He purred softly and nuzzled the tiny kitten's side, slowly managing to calm the other down. The trembling stopped and Robin took a deep breath, calming himself down further. Satisfied, Wally curled up a little more and rested his head on his paws. He watched as Robin carefully climbed over one of his paws and curled up in the small space between his leg and his neck. Wally kept purring quietly until he was sure Robin had fallen asleep, then he followed suit.
The next morning was quiet. Wally and Robin woke up first, but Wally wanted to just fall back asleep. He felt tiny paws push on his side, joined with annoyed meowing. He groans and bats at his small friend, inwardly smirking when he hears a squeak of surprise. the persistent pushing and poking finally drive him to get up. He steps down from the couch and stretches.
As he straightens, He feels a small weight land between his shoulder blades. He glances behind his and sees Robin sitting there smugly. Wally just rolls his eyes and makes his way to the kitchen. Black Canary is sitting at the counter, reading some files. She glances up as the pair approaches, a smile on her face. "Well, there's some good news. Batman said that the transformation should wear off sometime next week." Both boys breathed a sigh of relief and the slight worry about how long this would last finally disappeared.
Wally felt lighter all day. He could finally just relax and have fun without worrying about this being permanent. He and Robin were relaxing on the couch after a tiring game of hiding and seek tag. Even with all the running around, Wally was beginning to feel restless. He longed for fresh air and the freedom of running outside. He wasn't even sure if it was just the Cheetah instincts or because he was a speedster.
He growled softly and rolled off the couch, tail twitching. He felt so confined, and it was really beginning to bug him. He knew he couldn't really go outside, The team had enough to deal with without adding wild cheetah sightings to that list, but he couldn't stand just not doing anything for much longer. He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice Robin watching him from his spot on the couch. The much smaller cat sighed and jumped onto his back.
Wally was drawn out of his pacing with bright blue eyes appeared right in front of him. He hadn't even noticed Robin climbing on top of his head until the small kitten leaned over and looked at him upside-down. Satisfied he had his attention, Robin jumped off Wally's head and walked towards the hallway. Wally followed in confusion until they reached to door to the beach.
Wally watched as Robin climbed up the control panel and managed to get the door to open. The second the fresh air hit his face, Wally was gone. He sprinted out the door and onto the deserted beach. He hit the sand and just kept going, running along the water line until he hit the rocks. Jumping up, he pushed off of them and spun around, turning and running off in the other direction. He slowed to a stop after about 30 seconds and stood there panting. He lay down and looked out over the water happily.
This was so much better than being stuck inside, why hadn't he thought of this earlier! This was their own private beach, nobody could see him here, and there was more space to run. He heard soft footsteps behind him, and he wasn't surprised to see Robin walking towards him. He inwardly laughed when he noticed how difficult it was for him to walk through the sand.
what did surprise him though was the fact that the rest of the team was following. Kaldur headed straight for the water and vanished beneath the waves, Conner and M'gann close behind, but they stayed in the shallows. Artemis found a shady spot to lay down and watched them play, amusement clear in her eyes. Black Canary followed them out and sat down with a book, but glanced up every few minutes.
Wally stretched out and let the sun warm his flank, feeling much better now that he had gotten a chance to really run. Robin settled down in Wally's shadow because his black fur would get really hot in direct sunlight. They continued like that for hours, the two cats eventually moving into the shade.
Eventually, Wally became aware of an odd sound. It started out as a low hum, so quiet he didn't even notice it. It gradually grew louder until he finally noticed it. He raised his head and looked around. Conner and M'gann seemed to have noticed it as well, but the others hadn't. He got up slowly, careful not to disturb Robin, and walked towards where he thought the sound was coming from. He heard footsteps behind him and glanced back to see Conner and M'gann coming.
'You hear it too?' She asked, and Wally nodded, turning back around to keep looking. 'It sounds like... a Helicopter... but different.' He thought, trying to figure out what was so strange about it. 'Yea, you're right... It sounds bigger.' Wally's eyes widened in realization. 'We have to get inside, now!' He sprinted towards the others, Conner and M'gann falling behind immediately.
Before he reached them, there was an explosion at the door to the cave, blocking their way back inside. The force of the explosion knocked off his feet and fell in between some of the rocks. He felt a sharp pain on the side of his head, and he was out cold.
So this is kinda the beginning of the main story, so far it's focused more on fluff, and it will still have some in the next few chapters, but they will be focused more on fight scenes and that kinda stuff. Don't worry, you guys will still get adorable kitten Robin. :D
