Wally quietly walked down to the basement and watched his daughter do her target practice. Angie had place 3 arrows on the target and the last two went haywire. She was upset about this clearly. Wally was about to try cheer her up when she quickly ran to the dart-board and came back at the spot where she started. Wally couldn't believe his eyes. She was a speedster.

"Dad, how long have you been here?

"Long enough to see my daughters a speedster!" Wally ran up to her, and hugged her. "This is great! You're going to be the first ever female speedster; aren't you excited. I've got to tell Artemis!" Wally was so happy.

"Don't tell my mommy please." Angie whispered. Tears almost escaped her eyes. Wally stopped rejoicing and watched his daughter, quite confused but sympathetic.

"Why wouldn't you want to tell your mother. Isn't this great news?" He said putting his arms on her shoulders.

"Just don't. Just pretend you never saw anything." She whispered again, but this time she walked away and into her room. Wally was confused, and sad. He wanted to call Artemis, but he wasn't quite sure if he should. Just as he was about to call her he said, "No, I don't need Artemis help. I'm going to figure this out, and stop… talking…..to myself." Wally brushed off the fact that he just talked to himself and decided he was going to talk to Angie, but first check on the twins. When he stopped by the play room he found them lying down, babbling whatever babies babble. He chuckled and then walked to Angie's room.

When he came in, he met Angela working on some Math home-work. She didn't pay much attention to Wally when he came in.

"You need some help?"

"Am I that transparent?" She asked.

"Nah, I just needed to make sure you were doing fine."

"What do you need help with?"

"Fractions and Decimals are giving me stress?" She smiled for the first time Wally came in the room, which made Wally smile.

"Here's the deal, I'll help you with your homework, and then you tell me why you don't want me to tell your mother your dirty little secret." He tickled her.

"Alright," she laughed, "I'll do it, just stop tickling me." After a couple minutes Angie understood everything.

"Okay An-jello, a deal's a deal. Start talking."

"Mom always said you were bad at giving nick-names." She laughed. "The truth is I found out I was a speedster when I was 9. Mom signed me up for all these extra-curriculars like, gymnastics, track and field and soft-ball, because she said those would be the fundamental parts of training,and that they would help me because I had no powers. If she knew I had, I would have to quit them all….except maybe gymnastics, but I enjoy them all, so you can't tell her."

"I promise I won't."

"Dad really why do you have to be so…wait did you just say you won't?"

"Yup, scouts honour."

"Dad, you're not a scout, and that's the Star-Trek sign." She laughed.

" Yeah well you get what I mean." He smiled. "I'm going to clean-up the house now, so go finish your home-work."

"I will , and Dad,"

"Yes?"

"Thanks a lot." Wally smiled

"Scouts Honor." He said again, doing the star-trek sign. Wally didn't care if he looked like a fool. He solved the mystery of why Angie was sad. She just wanted him to spend more time with her, and she had known she had powers for a year and was afraid he figured out. And eventhough he did figure out, their relationship grew stronger.

Clean-up was a breeze; probably due to the fact he was a speedster. The dishes sparkled, the carpet looked new, and the housed smelled divine. Just then Dick came in.

" Dick!" Wally was ecstatic to see his best-friend. "It's been too long man, where have you been?"

"Blud-haven….., and you saw me last night…..remember?" Dick

"Of course I did, that was one of the best guys night out Ever." Wally and Dick started to laugh.

"Yeah it was, especially when Connor beat up the Security Guard, hilarious."

"Or when you "spilled" your drink over that drunk jerk who was harassing the girls."

"Nothing could beat you, when you started imitating male pole dancers. The girls were going CRAZY!"

"I have that effect on women"Wally bragged as he and Dick sat down on the sofa.

"Psh, not on Artemis you don't." Dick teased.

"I won't lie, Artemis is really different from girls, which when I first met her I hated about her, but eventually, I realized, that's what made her different. Unique. That's what made her special in my eyes, and I love her." Wally finished, putting his hands behind his back. The guys talked for a couple minutes and then Wally remembered something.

"By the way, when is Zatanna due?" Dick and Zatanna got married two years after Wally and Artemis. They have two sons. The oldest son, Bruce is 8, and the younger son, Zatara is 6. Now they are having their third child.

"She's due three months from now."

"Oh, so around September?"

"Yup."

"Soooo, is it a boy or a girl?"

"That I can't tell you."

"Come on Dick, Where best-friends, you've got to tell me." Wally whined.

"Some people never change; I'm sorry I just can't tell you."

"Why not? Zatanna doesn't need to know."

"Wally I can't tell you because I don't even know myself. She wants to be all surprised."

"But I'm going to the doctors tonight."

"What are you going to do?"

"Ah nothing big. Hack into the main-frame, look through the system, get the information I need, and leave without anyone knowing I was there."

"You were right Dick, some people never change." The two laughed.

"Well that statement is not entirely true. Everyone does go through changes. We get taller, smarter wiser, and we mature." Wally reflected on that statement, and his face dropped. (Not literally though, it's an expression)

"Dick, I've been a terrible dad to my kids these last few months. I've been too busy putting my needs before theirs and I feel so selfish. When I was 15 I only cared for things I cared about. I care about my kids, but I didn't care enough to be there for them when they needed me most. I feel that way now, and I feel like a terrible father." Wally finished. He was depressed now more than ever.

"Wally you're not a terrible Father."

"How can you say that?"

"Personality wise, nothing much has changed about you. You're still immature, eat a lot, and care-free, but over the years, you've also become less judgmental, more serious, more concerned about others and definitely more responsible. You're a good father Wally; you should be proud. You might not be around often because you work real hard. But you take care of them and love them un-conditionally. And that's the only thing that matters, because those are the two factors that make a good father. They aren't many good men like us around anymore. I bet your kids are really happy to call you dad."

"Thanks Dick." Wally was touched. "I really needed to hear that." Suddenly there was a beeb coming from Dicks phone.

"Well looks like my time is up." Dick laughed. "I wish you could come to the hospital with me but I figured you had plans."

"What time are you going?"

"Around mid-night, but I don't think you'll be available."

"How do you know?" Wally asked. Robin just chuckled.

"Well let's just say, I was in the department store buying a gift for Zee, and I saw a certain archer in the Lingerie section, and it wasn't Green Arrow. Well see you later man."

"Dick, wait…How does he just disappear like that." Wally was puzzled, but delighted at the news he just heard.

"I guess I won't be seeing you tonight Dick." Wally chuckled and continued cleaning with a smile on his face. "I guess I won't."
