Late update but I said I'd finish and I will
Conner followed Megan outside, spotting her at the top of the bleachers and sighed making his way up to her.
"You forgot this in detention," He said holding it out to her.
Megan looked up staring at him in awe before taking it, "Thank you."
They stayed there in awkward silence before Conner spoke up, "Are you okay?"
"Why do you care? I thought you hated me?" She snapped avoiding his gaze.
Conner blushed as he mumbled out his words, "I don't hate you."
"You don't?" Megan turned around quickly, eyes widening, "But-"
"I'm just-not a people person."
She snickered lightly, "I've noticed."
This time, they sat there in silence simply enjoying each others company. Megan stared off into space thinking back on the dream she had when...
"Look out!"
Both teens looked up to see a water balloon flying toward them as it hit Megan in the face drenching her with water. Conner stood up quickly making his way down to the group of boys when Megan called out to him in his mind.
"Conner NO!"
Shocked, he lost his balance and fell down the rest of the bleachers to the ground below. While Megan stood on top, mind racing.
"And I'm really sorry about this." Karen Beecher said, as a couple of her friends snuck up with a bucket of water dumping it on her. Megan let out a scream of shock as she stood there dripping wet. Conner growled getting up ready to charge when M'gann called out in his mind, "Conner, no!"
He grunted and lost his balance falling off the bleachers and onto the ground. She shook her head the memory fading as she stood there in shock before everything hit her all at once and she too crumpled to the ground.
"Its a good thing the Psimon and whoever else is in charge doesn't care about out what happens to us or it'd be a lot harder to explain why we've all passed out so many times." Richard sighed.
"How are you feeling M'gann?" Conner asked.
"Besides a headache I'm fine." She smiled before turning to the others.
The five of them sat in a corner underneath the bleachers discussing what to next.
"So we just need Wally," Artemis said running a hand through her hair. "But how, he seems so intertwined here."
"I think unlike the rest of us, it'll take multiple attempts to snap him out of it. I'm also worried about how long we've been in those pods even with suspended animation a speedster needs to eat. That could be why it's affecting him so much." Richard said.
"Simply bring up memories or situations that are unique to yourself and Wally." Kaldur piped up. "Once we have Wally, M'gann will shield our minds and we'll confront our adversaries."
"Wait, M'gann do you remember the exactly what happened? Or what's going on?" Artemis asked
"Yes, actually I do," She said. "They're trying to kill us. I don't know how, but I do know is that we're all slowly dying." She whispered out. "The pods and whatever it is is eating away at our nervous system, they're going to break us and kill us."
Wally West let out a sigh as he began his walk home, detention was finally over which meant he didn't have to deal with everyone acting all weird anymore. When detention had first started, only Richard and Artemis has been friends, than Kaldur had fainted one afternoon and by the next day, the three of them were chatting like old buddies. Then it was Conner and Megan and all five of them were acting like best friends.
It kind hurt that they didn't want to be friends with him too, he thought that by at least being friendly with Kaldur he'd get in but clearly that wasn't the case. Wally kicked a pebble and sighed, that was his fate he guessed. To be a friendless loser for the rest of his life. Talk about unfair.
He glanced up as he walked only for the sky to flicker as if disappearing and blinked rubbing his eyes in shock. Wally looked around and looked up again, the sky was whole and blue again. It made no sense at least not scientifically the sky couldn't or shouldn't just flicker out of existence and come back like it never happened.
Still staring up at the sky he failed to notice the figure in front of him and crashed into said person, falling to the ground. Looking up, he spotted Conner staring down at him with a frown on his face.
"S-sorry," Wally mumbled.
"Why are you so afraid?" Conner asked. "I don't like it."
Conner really didn't his first memory of the speedster featured him with a wide grin on his face green eyes sparkling with excitement. Wally wasn't terrified of him, like the others, he accepted him right away. So it made him just a little annoyed that Wally was so weak and terrified here. It wasn't the Wally he knew, it wasn't his friend.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you're terrified of everything," Conner said bluntly, yanking the boy up. "It's irritating."
"Well I mean it's hard-"
"If you stand up for yourself, people would leave you alone, even if you don't win."
"I-Why do you care anyway?" Wally snapped, "You've never cared before."
"Well, it didn't bother me until now."
Wally glared at him, "Sorry to inconvenience you."
Conner smiled slightly at the annoyed tone in his voice. Maybe there was hope.
At that moment, they were both distracted as the sky flickered abruptly changing from day to night a full moon appearing in the sky.
"Uh, pretty sure it's after midnight, but we can show you the moon."
"See? The Moon!" Kid Flash gestured to the moon grinning widely as the League arrived. "And Superman. Do we keep our promises, or what?"
Shaking his head from the onslaught of memories Wally turned back to his companion with a smile, "Don't worry about me Supey. I've got this."
Conner blinked at the words coming out of his mouth. "Wally?"
"Look, Conner, I...just leave me alone okay. Please."
"But."
"I'll see you around maybe." He muttered walking away, Conner watched him go shoulders hunched over as he tried not to make eye contact with anybody.
It was strange though for a second Wally had remembered, he had called himSupey. But how to actually bring back the memories he didn't know. What he did know is that he just wanted his friend back.
All they need is Wally and even then it won't be that easy.
