Wally quickened his pace as he heard familiar voices behind him.
"Hey Westie? Where you runnin' to?"
He tensed and his legs twitched, begging him to run at super speed away from the threat that approached him.
"Yo Westie! I was talking to you!" He felt a hand grab him and slam him up against the locker.
"Let me go Jake," he growled his green eyes narrowing, as he tried to hide the fear he was feeling. Right now he wasn't Kid Flash; he was Wally West, helpless nerd that had no friends outside of the Team.
"No way Westie, you didn't do what I told you to."
"I already told you no, I'm not going to fail a science test on purpose, my dad would kill me!"
Jake and his lackeys had approached him the day before, because the science teacher always graded on a curve everyone's grades depended on the highest test score in the class. Unfortunately Wally always got 100% , which led to him becoming an even bigger target. Not that he wasn't before.
His fake clumsy-ness and bright orange hair already made him a target. Not to mention he had no friends at school, and was the top nerd.
"You hear that boys?" Jake sneered. "He's saying no, he's saying no to me. Well I guess we'll just have to teach him a lesson."
Wally's eyes widened and he began to squirm against Jakes grip, as he watched one of the boys force open a locker.
"Stop!" He screamed, fighting against Jake, panic taking over him as he was pulled towards the small space. "Stop!"
"I'm sorry Westie, but you brought this upon yourself." Jake sneered. "Maybe we'll let you out tomorrow."
Wally looked like a deer in headlights as his Kid Flash persona took over, to fight the threat he was facing. He pulled himself away from Jake and did what he did best, run.
He ran blindly through the school, just barely able to keep at a normal speed.
"Well don't just stand there like mindless freaks get him!" He heard Jake yell and he felt his legs speed up.
Stop it KF, he thought to himself. You're going to blow your cover, Wally West isn't this fast.
Biting his lip Wally forced himself to slow down and winced as he was tackled to the ground, his arms being forced behind his back.
"You know," Jake hissed leaning down to where Wally was pinned to the ground. "I think being trapped in a locker is too nice, how about I leave you with a gift?"
Wally closed his eyes as a fist punched into his gut and he gasped, and squirmed against the two boys holding him steady.
Another punch this time to the face and he yelped in pain, unwanted tears beginning to form behind his closed eyelids.
"Stop," he moaned as another punch came, hanging his head, only for someone to grab his hair and force him to look up. "Stop! Please!"
"Why?" Another punch to the gut. "You made me fail that test.""
"Not my fault," Wally gasped. "Not my fault you're stupid."
Instantly he wished he had said nothing, because there was a growl and something made contact with his leg, and again his Kid Flash persona took over.
Without his legs he was nothing, wincing from pain he dodged the next punch and managed to pull away from the two boys holding him and ran. This time not even bothering to slow down, if asked later he would blame adrenaline.
He felt tears coming to his face as he ran outside, snow stinging his numerous cuts, but he didn't care, he just wanted to get somewhere safe.
Pulling up the hood of his Flash hoodie, he raced to the nearest Out of Order booth.
Recognize Kid Flash B03
"Oh hey everybody look who just showed up!" Artemis's voice meant his ears and he felt his fist clench.
Not now, not today, he thought. Please.
Of course, she couldn't see his hurt express or the black eye and cuts on his face. His hoodie covered all that.
"So Kid Dork, you gonna come help us move these boxes of groceries, most of which you'll eat later, or are you just gonna stand there like a zombie?"
He didn't reply he just stood there looking at his feet.
"Yo, are the lights are upstairs?" Artemis asked. "Hello? Wally? Kid Flash? Baywatch?" She knocked on his head playfully and he winced and shied away flashbacks of bullies entering his mind. Punches that he couldn't return.
"I'll be up in my room," he muttered and grabbing an apple from the top of a crate, before limping away.
"Uhhh what just happened?" Artemis asked, blinking and turning to the Boy Wonder beside her. "I didn't even get insulted."
Robin's eyes flickered around the room until they landed on something red. "I'm not sure, but I'm gonna find out."
"Should I—"
"No stay here Artemis, trust me, I'm the right one to talk to him right now."
With that he was gone, pulling what Wally called a ninja and disappearing. Artemis let her eyes fall to the ground and picking up a crate carried it towards the kitchen.
Wally sat on his bed curled up in a ball, his cuts had begun to scab over and his black eye was disappearing, but that didn't mean that they still didn't hurt.
He felt tears spilling from his eyes, stinging some of the still open cuts. Quickly he wiped them away.
Stop it, he scolded himself. You're freaking Kid Flash, the fastest boy alive, heroes don't cry. More tears. Heroes don't cry. The dam behind his eyes had broken and tears now gushed out like a waterfall. Heroes also stand up for themselves and don't get beat up by bullies. Heroes aren't scared to go to school every day.
He wasn't sure how long he sat there, tears streaming down he face, before there was a knock on the door.
"Wally? Dude KF you in there?" Robin's voice came through the door and Wally tensed.
"Go away Rob, I don't want to talk right now," Wally told his friend, face planting into his pillow. Only to wince as pain shot up through his body.
"Wally," Robin's voice became harsher. "Either you can open up the door or I can blow it up, your choice."
Wally groaned and sitting up, pulled his hoodie back on and pulled up the hood, knowing full well that the Boy Wonder would blow up the door.
Opening it, he glared at his friend, "What?" He snapped, harsher then he meant to.
He watched Robin jump slightly before calming down, "dude are you okay? And what's with the hoodie? We're inside."
"I'm cold, and I'm fine now leave," with that he let the door slam close and stomped back over to his bed.
"Wally I just want to—"
"Go away DICK!" Wally screamed not even bothering to try and hide his friend's secret identity. "I told you I'm fine!"
Seconds later the door blew up, and Wally jumped to his feet. "What the heck dude?" Wally screamed, turning on his friend only to come face to face with a batarange
"Who are you and what have you done with my friend?" Dick hissed, his eyes narrowing behind his mask.
Wally raised his hands, "dude it's me I promise calm down."
He watched Robin relax only to realize a second later, he had been tricked as a hand shot out and pulled down his hood.
"Hey!" Wally cried, trying to fumble with the coat, hoping to cover his face fast enough, no such luck.
"Dude what happened?" Robin gasped, looking at his best friend and brother's face. His eyes widened as he looked at the numerous cuts and the black eye his friend now sported.
Wally looked down at his feet, "nothing Rob, I don't want to talk about it."
Robin's eyes narrowed, "We both know that one way or another I'm going to find out, it might as well be from you."
Wally looked up at his friend and Robin gapped his friend had been crying, the tears were still there in his eyes and suddenly words were spilling from the speedsters lips, explaining everything.
Everything from bullies, to lockers, to getting beat up, everything.
Robin stood there for a moment before pulling his older brother into a hug.
"Dude, you should tell Barry he'll—"
"No! Do you have any idea what will happen if I tattle-tale on them?" Wally panicked his eyes widening as he shrunk away.
"Well you can't just keep it to yourself! They're hurting you! Or maybe you didn't notice the black eye and cuts you are now showing off!"
"I heal fast Rob, I'll be fine!"
"That's just the problem! No one heals as fast as you! All this is going to blow your cover you idiot!" Robin screamed, whacking his friend upside the head.
Wally's eyes widened as pain shot through his head and he backed away.
"Wally I'm sorry I didn't—" Robin tried to say eyes wide realizing his mistake.
"Get out," Wally hissed.
"Wally…."
"Out," Robin hung his head and shuffled out the door, how could he have been so stupid?
As soon as he was gone Wally wished that he hadn't banished the little bird from his room, but it was too late. So he just sat there and cried.
UP NEXT: Bullies Part 2
Summary: Over protective Roy, Boy Wonder threats Jake, Flash rushes in all that fun stuff XD
Wally raised his head, confusion in his eyes that sounded like; he gasped as he caught a sight of red hair, Roy.
Aw crud, no Rob I told you I could handle it, pushing his way through the crowd he watched as Roy pushed Jake up against a locker.
"Listen here you twerp if I ever see you so much as bump my friend in hall I'll—"
"Roy what are you doing?" Wally screamed, at his friend. "You're gonna hurt him!"
"So he hurt you," Roy hissed. "And no one picks on my little brother."
Wally blushed, "it wasn't that bad."
"That bad Wally! That bad! You came home with a freakin' black eye!"
"It could've been worse," Wally whispered looking at his feet.
"Worse? But it was worse; you had cuts on your face, a bruised leg! How could it not be worse?"
