"After Roy died I just can't live…I don't deserve to."

I stared in shock when I heard Wally confess that he didn't think he should live anymore, I immediately flew out of the room tears threatening to fall.
'I need to let Flash and Impulse know about this.' I thought as I entered the Zeta tubes

I flew around the Watchtower looking for the two speedsters when I noticed them I instantly flew over to them. "Bart, Flash there's something I need to tell you, can we talk in private?" I could instantly see the worry in their faces, Flash led us to a room with no audio devices or cameras.
"What is this about?" Bart asked trying to sound as calm as possible, possibly already knowing what I was about to say. Flash was just staying quite possibly panicking about what I could need to tell them.
"I don't know how to tell you this." I paused on the verge of tears once again, I finished though needing to get this out. "Wally tried to kill himself."

Barry nearly fell from shock his mind racing, those three words never seemed to fit together. He was interrupted by Bart speaking "Did he manage to do it." Fearing the worst, for his cousin.
"Artemis found him in time so no…but he is currently in a coma like state, he feels as if he doesn't deserve to live anymore." M'gann managed to get out before taking a deep breath before speaking again. "We managed to get him stable, but only time will tell…he lost a lot of blood." She finished as she sat down. "I'm going to sit here for a bit, you guys go see him." She whispered as she started to feel a bit dizzy.
They nodded their heads and sped off to the Zeta tubes.

Before Zatanna and Superboy could meet them the two speedsters sped into the medbay.
It had been a couple of hours before the two spoke
"Listen Bar-"Before Flash could finish Bart covered his mouth with his hand
"It's not as hard for me as you think Grandpa Barry, I've seen everybody I love die from when I'm from, its still tough, but not as much." Bart looked over to see Wally lying there in the bed, still asleep, only thing is he was so pale that he looked dead.
"Hey Grandpa Barry, remember when Wally told us he decided that he would return to being Kid Flash?" Bart asked looking back to that day within his mind, it had been after the two archers had saved them or to be more precise Wally from getting hit by bolts of the speed force they were all devastated by the fact that neither one survived, it was a few days later that Wally had announced he would reclaim the mantle of Kid Flash stating that while helping them disarm the bomb he remembered the real reason he became Kid Flash, that he always thought the full reason was to be like The Flash, but that was only part of it, he remembered the exact words he spoke.
"I always thought I just wanted to be like Uncle Barry, but now I realize that was only part of the reason, I did it because I wanted to help people, even if it was just as a sidekick or my own hero, the ordinary life just doesn't suit me anymore, especially with my quickened metabolism."
Bart had begun to cry praying that Wally would be okay, that he would be fine, that he would live.
"H-Hey buddy its ok, don't cry."
Barry whispered trying to soothe him as he pulled Bart into his arms as he cried until he fell asleep he sat Bart in the chair next to him and gently grabbed Wally's hand.
"Please Wally, Pease wake up we need you." Barry whispered as he leaned his head on the bed and fell asleep. He woke up a few hours later to see that Bart was nowhere to be seen knowing them being speedsters he probably went to get enough food for both of them.
"Un-Uncle Barry?" Barry looked up after hearing Wally's hoarse voice to see the kid looking at him.
"Wally you're awake!" Barry yelled apologizing when he noticed the sound made him wince.
"Sorry Walls, you must have a headache." He said as he noticed Bart speed in with a bunch of food in his arms.
"Hey Grandpa B, I'm back wi-" he stopped when he noticed Wally looking at him, tears beginning to fall as he dropped the food in a chair and sped over giving him a big hug. "Wally don't know how long I've missed hearing your voice." He said as he finally let go of him.
The mood in the room slowly went from happy to depressing in an instant when they noticed that Wally's smile had faded and was replaced with a small frown. "What's wrong Walls?" Barry asked as he was the first of the two to notice. "I should have died, I should be with Roy and 'Wing." He said as he began to sit up. Bart looked up to see that he had begun to cry.
"I just want to be with 'Wing and Roy again." Wally had begun to cry due to the feeling of loneliness starting to sink in. By now he was letting the tears fall freely as Barry tried to comfort him.
"Shh, Shh it's okay Wally, I'm here." Seeing his nephew in this state had broken his heart, he's never seen him like this before and it felt like it was going to tear him apart he just wanted to break down and cry with him, he never thought the deaths of his friends would hurt him this bad since he still has other friends to help him mourn and feel better.
"Please Wally, look at me, you know that going down the path you are now will only hurt others once you reach the end, so please, don't try this again."
Barry finally gave into his urges and bent down and started crying with him.
"I kn-know you m-m-miss the-them, I-I-I do too, b-but do yo-you th-think they w-w-would want you to follow the same path th-they did, and in t-turn give the te-team m-more to be s-sad about?" he managed to say between his tears now turned into sobs. The room was now silent as the crying subsided and the two fell asleep Wally had begun thinking back to the last thing he ever said to his brother.
"I hate you Dick, Don't you ever pull me or Artemis into something like this again or your team won't be the only thing you lost at that point."
A/N: I'm going to be gone for the next 2-3 days, so, I'll try to post a new chapter when I have the chance.
