I've come back after a short break and upon seeing my first review! (much pride) Yeah small steps but hey ho :p So thanks for that and the one follow, Im glad your enjoying it, if you have any plot points feel free to suggest any, Wally and Bab's future has by no means been decided :)
2 months later…
"Wally…" A soft voice giggled. "Walllllyyy…" It continued. " Hey speedster!" The voice roared as a pillow flew through the air in Wally West's direction. "Wha-" He murmured irritably, attempting to view his mystery assailant. "Unlike some, I actually have a city to protect, you know, being a superhero and all." Barbara Gordon stood in the doorway at the end of his bed, leaning casually to the side in half her costume, grinning in delight at Wally's confusion. "Mehhh, Gotham's overrated, it's your poor boyfriends head that needs saving" He moaned, clutching his forehead. "Awww, is my little speedy hurting?" She asked in a patronizing tone, kneeling by his bed side. "He is…But he could still take on all of your rogues and by finished in one night." Wally retorted with a smirk. "Oh could he now? Well maybe he'd like to accompany one, or would his royal highness prefer to patrol on his own so I might actually be able to stay in bed for once?" Bab's beamed. "Well I think you need the practice...although I'll give you a headstart, I think I saw two face under the covers just a minute ago…" He teased, pushing his luck. "Oh I'm sure lover boy, but if he comes back I'm sure you can deal with him yourself," She replied playfully. "I would love to stay and play nurse, but I do have cases to check out, see you around honey." She lent in for a protracted kiss. Her world slowed in the moment, and her often chaotic thoughts cleared. The truth was, Barbara Gordon had never been happier. Wally stood for everything new about her, everything she never thought she could have before, fun, passion, stability, they had a flat for chirstsakes. All the things Dick could never give her, and she never wanted to look back. As Barbara bounded out of her apartment window, faced head on with the cool spring breeze which fluttered in her cape trails, she truly did feel at peace.
8 hours later…
"BEEP-BEEP-BE-DEEP-BEEP" "But was it ok-" Wally said morosely, before shooting upright in his bed, his eyes exploding with the invasion of the early morning sun. He slammed his blaring alarm clock, sullenly arose and hobbled barefoot to the bathroom, the cool from the tiles slowly creeping up his toes. He proceeded to prepare for his uneventful day, cleaning himself up to a moderate degree of success, having removed a small patch of fiery red stubble from his chin. Having finished, he inched toward the windowpane, where he had a view over the large expanse of Gotham city. Wally was so utterly content. He had so very little, yet so very much. He had resigned himself to his piece of paradise and as the sun glared over his glistening face, he couldn't have been happier. He had her. "BRRRRRRRR" His phone vibrated on his bedside table. He eased over with a cool precision and slid open the lock. It read:
From: Roy Harper (The Clone one, Wals)
He laughed as he murmured babs' additions to his contacts, although he was beginning to see her reasoning for them.
