Chapter 8
Conner didn't know what to think about what Wally had told the team. Never did the clone think that Wally of all people was related to a Supervillain. He wasn't surprised about Wally being a girl though as her scent was different than the other guys. Her scent was like Artemis and M'gann's.
Conner also knew just from the way his teammates were acting that they felt hurt and betrayed that one of their teammates didn't tell them that he was a she. It was going to take time for Conner to forgive Wally for lying to him but he would forgive her as everyone deserved the benefit of the doubt.
The one thing that was making Conner forgive Wally so fast was the way Wally was standing up for him as she took on Superman about some things. One of the things was how he came to be.
Wally in the meantime was standing in front of Damian who was glaring at everyone in the room. Wally also knew that Damian could break out of the cuffs that he was in in less than a second but choose not to. The younger speedster had a feeling that it had something to do with the fact that Damian probably wanted to meet his father for the first time.
"Wally, this goes beyond something stupid." Superman spoke. "Ra's could have turned you against us and then we would have had to arrest you. You should have told us the truth about you being related to Ra's Al Ghul."
Wally glared at the Man of Steel with the most nastiest look she could muster. "Tell you what Supes. When you start treating Superboy like he exists I will start telling you everything you need to know but until then you can forget me ever telling you anything." Wally replied as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Superman looked shocked at what Wally had said. Wally would normally tell him anything that was important before but now she wasn't.
Before Superman could open his mouth to say something Batman cut in. "Wally did in fact inform me about her visit so to speak with Ra's Al Ghul which I saw no problem with as she willing gave me this info. Based on what she said that she did to Ra's when Wally first met him I would have to say that Ra's has no intention of making Wally come over to the Shadows at this moment in time. However I did warn Wally that if Ra's did start to manipulate her there would be actions taken to prevent Wally from being a Shadow." Batman told the group.
"That still doesn't change the fact that Wally is in danger of being turned. I know that she would not betray the League." Wonder Woman pointed out.
Several more Leaguers voiced their option about the situation until Wally had enough and decided to make herself known when they discuss what they should do with Damian
"Will you guys just shut up about Damian." Wally yelled. She had made a promise to her aunt that she would protect Damian with her life and she meant it too.
"Wally, I know that he is your cousin but that doesn't change the fact that the child is the grandson of Ra's Al Ghul." Superman pointed out. "He is a threat."
"So I'm the granddaughter of Ra's Al Ghul. Does that make me a threat? My mother is a daughter of Ra's AL Ghul. Does that make her a threat. Damian is 8 years old. Are you really going to treat an 8 year old like a common criminal when he hasn't even done anything. Also he has already picked the locks to his cuffs and could have escaped at any given time." Wally told the League as she step out from in front of Damian who was swinging the cuffs around his finger smirking a smirk that reminded Superman of Batman.
"Look Damian has been to my house and knows about me being Kid Flash long before I knew about my grandfather. He is not a threat." Wally pointed out. If there was one thing her mother had taught her was that you stick by your family no matter what.
"Wally, that is not the point." Superman said only to get glared at by Wally.
"Then what is the point. Are you afraid that just because Damian is a Shadow that he will try and kill us just like you think that Superboy will betray us as well. If you think that is going to happen that you need to take that 10 foot pole that is in your ass and pull it out cause you know something if you start treating an 8 year old like he is a mass murder then I want nothing to do with the Justice League." Wally exclaimed as she grabbed Damian by his hand had headed towards his room at the Hall of Justice. "Let me know when you have grown a heart Everyone cause then maybe I'll talk to you again." With saying that Wally left the room noticing the shocked looks on many of the adult's faces.
"Well good job everyone you just pissed of a speedster and let me tell you we hold grudges." Flash said as he tried to follow his niece only to be block by Batman.
"You know don't you?"
"I found out by accident. I freaked out a little bit but after being tied to a chair and was explained everything including Damian I was fine with it." Flash told his fellow Leaguers who just stared at him.
"That doesn't explain the matter that Damian attacked Red Arrow." Superman once again pointed out something.
"Damian was protecting himself and Wally as I did walk in on her when she was changing and don't give me that look Flash. I was under the impression that Wally was a boy not a girl and she did get revenge by throwing everything she could have gotten her hands on at me. Another thing is that If the kid wanted to kill me he would have that day. Which shows that it's not to late for him to be rehabilitated." Roy said as he walked into the room. It wasn't that he hated Damian it was more of a fact that Damian was an obstacle in the way of being friends with Wally. Or maybe something more. Roy thought with the last part.
"I will go talk with Wally as it seems to me that I am only one that knows what she is going through and perhaps I should be able to help Damian." Batman told everyone in the room as he made his way to the door that Wally had just left. He was going to talk to Wally but he also wanted to ask about Damian as he knew that he was Talia's son but who was the father.
As Batman reached the door to Wally's room he heard talking.
"Grandfather would be so proud of you for the way you stood up to the idiot."
"I was scared out of my mind. Superman does have good intentions but he needs to see things in a different light as Superboy is not going to hurt and neither are you."
"I did enjoy the look on Superman's face when you told him off Mehira."
"So did I but for a moment I thought that I was going to pass out. Other than that what did you think of seeing your father for the first time in person?"
"He is exactly what mother told me about. I can see why she fell in love with him. But the way that you talked about him make me realize that you have no fear of him like that others."
"I've never been afraid of Batman for some reason. He just isn't scary to me."
Suddenly the door opened to reveal Batman glaring at them or more like he was glaring at Damian.
Wally let out a groan as she knew that there was going to be a long talk.
Next chapter Batman learns more about Damian and M'gann tries to figure out just where she stands with Wally and her lying.
Ideas for what could happen between Batman and Damian are welcomed also any info of Damian's history as my Wikipedia is being a butt lately.
Reviews would be great. Thanks.
