SPEEDY:
Ollie shook his head as he watched Dinah and Roy battling it out on Roy's new video game. After losing the first three rounds Ollie had refused to play anymore, saying that it was probably rigged. Roy and Dinah were taking the game pretty seriously though. The two were yelling at each other and at the screen, watching as their characters fought.
Well, even if he had stunk at it, at least his Christmas gift was good this year. A smile spread across his face as Ollie watched his girlfriend and his ward.
He glanced back at the tree. A frown creased his face. "What's this?" He asked. They'd cleaned up everything but now a lone present sat beneath the tree. "Roy!" He called. "There is something here for you!"
Roy paused the game and glanced behind him. "What is it?"
"I don't know." Ollie brought the gift wrapped box over to him. "Is it from you?" He asked Dinah. His girlfriend shook her head.
"It's not from us." Dinah said.
"Huh." Roy opened the box. Inside it was a tightly sealed silver case. A card lay on top of it, reading simply "From Santa."
Roy's eyes widened. He quickly pulled the case out, laying it on the ground. When he opened it up an odd arrangement of strings, wood, and metal lay there. There was one stick that looked like a handle though. He pulled the contraption out by that. As he fingered it, he felt a button.
With a press the thing suddenly sprang to life. In a few quick seconds the contraption had turned into a bow. Not any bow though- His bow.
Ollie whistled in awe. "What is that?"
Roy just smirked. "Something you don't have."
KID FLASH:
"That was the last of them." Iris said as Wally finished unwrapping the last of his presents. A pile of paper lay around him. Currently he was cuddling his new Flash toy happily and playing with a toy car he'd gotten.
"Thank you Uncle Barry and Aunt Iris!" Wally exclaimed. "I love my gifts."
"Well you certainly opened them quickly!" Barry laughed. "All the presents in under an hour. That's a new record."
"We only let you get away with it because you're a speedster." Iris teased, ruffling his hair. She began to pick up the piles of paper.
"You know, most kids listen when they're told to slow down." Barry said.
Wally just laughed. "You do the same thing!" He cried. "That's why Aunt Iris wraps your gifts three times."
"Oh. What's this?" Iris paused and picked up a small gold envelope. On the front it said "Wally" in flowing script. She looked at her husband, be he seemed just as confused. "It is for you Wally." She handed the card over. "Who is it from?"
"I don't know." Wally set aside his toys to look inside. He pulled out a sheet of parchment paper with the same flowing script. Wally's eyes widened as he looked at it. "It's from Santa!"
Santa? Iris mouthed at Barry. The man shook his head though, unsure himself. "What does it say, kid?" He asked.
Wally read out loud.
Dear Wally,
I thought long and hard about what you asked for when I met you in the North Pole. However, what you asked for isn't something that I could easily bring. It is also not something that I think you may like.
You are Kid Flash, not Flash. You do not need to be just like him. In fact, it is what makes you you that makes you special. You should never try to change that. Kid Flash is perfect being simply Kid Flash.
I know, however, that you want to be a hero too. You want to be known, respected, and liked just like your Uncle. You may not know, but I am certain this is already the case.
Go to the Flash Museum.
Love, Santa
Wally stared at the paper for a long moment. Iris and Barry were silent, both in shock. Then, instantly, Wally seemed to brighten. "Let's go!" He cried. A moment later he reappeared downstairs in his Kid Flash costume. "Come on Uncle Barry. I want to go to the Flash Museum! Let's see what Santa was talking about!"
"Yes. Let's." Barry agreed. He was slow to change into his costume. What was going on? He certainly hadn't done anything there. Who was being 'Santa'?
Flash and Kid Flash stopped outside the entrance to the Museum. It was dark inside. Closed. Flash frowned. What was going on? Panic formed as he suddenly thought it might be a trap.
But then the doors opened and the curator stepped out, a bright smile on his face. "There you are." The man said. "Santa said you'd be here."
Flash's mouth fell open. What?
Kid Flash was beaming though. "He told me to come here. What did he do?"
The man's eyes twinkled. "He had something done especially for you, Kid Flash." He opened the door for the speedsters. They stepped into the main hall and were greeted with a huge present, covered in wrapping paper. A large tag was beside it reading "to Kid Flash, from Santa and all of Central City."
"Woa." Wally's mouth fell open.
"Are you going to open it?" the curator asked eagerly.
Wally looked up at his Uncle hopefully. The man nodded and Wally slowly, reverently, tugged the wrapping off.
When the paper fell away, the boy's mouth fell open. The usual statue of Flash was there. But now, beside him, was another statue. This one was of Kid Flash.
"It's me." Wally whispered.
He stepped back, finally noticing the inscription on the base.
The two heroes of Central City
A smile spread over Wally's face. "Hero." He whispered. He beamed up at his Uncle. "I'm a hero."
Flash's arms wrapped tightly around the boy. "Merry Christmas, Wally." He murmured softly.
A/N: I know this is short, but bear with me. The next chapter will have Robin's wish being fulfilled. I wanted it to be its own chapter though.
Hope you enjoyed! Please leave me a review. Then the next chapter will be up on Christmas Day!
