Chapter 10 Break Down
Robin
We get all the people out in time, according to the hospitals various charts. And we're all hi-fiving each other at the good result. When I get back to the bio-ship trying to stop the feeling of jumping on Wally when I see him I stop in my tracks.
"What's wrong Robin?" Megan asks me realizing I stopped at the bio-ship entrance.
"Guys where's Wally?" I ask them. Everyone presses forward to look inside for him themselves.
"That idiot!" Artemis says through gritted teeth.
"He's still in the building." Megan says giving me a terrified look and the fire seems to get bigger.
"I'll go help the firemen water the building. Robin you go find Wally." Kaldur orders.
"Don't have to tell me twice." I tell him running ahead of him trying to run as fast as I can. Wally please be okay I can't lose you, not again. I think to myself as I run over to the building. I use my grapple gun and shoot myself up to the fifth floor.
"Megan can you link Wally up or just give me his exact location?" I ask her through the telepathic link.
"He's on the ninth floor first door to your left." She tells me and I run to that exact location past the huge flames and debris falling towards me I need to find Wally. When I get there I see a huge tornado inside the room that spread its way beyond the room. Because of the gush of wind I'm thrown in a circle and right out of the room's window. As if on cue Megan catches me using her telekinesis.
"Robin, what happened?" Conner asks not liking the sight of me being thrown out of a building.
"It's Wally, I think he just turned into a tornado." The tornado only gets bigger and the entire building is covered in it and seconds later it crumples into the tornado every part of the building breaking. The fire's gone along with the building and now the tornado slowly vanishes and Wally falls to the ground.
"Wally!" I yell running over to the destroyed building and a pale shaky Wally. He's scared and his eyes are open wide as he holds unto his head shaking unbearably. I walk over to him and hold him in my arms.
"It's okay Wally, I'm here." He shakes more violently against me and boy was it hard bringing him back to the bio-ship.
"Is he going to be okay?" Megan asks looking at him on our way back to the cave.
"He looks so scared." Artemis says and just as she said that Wally vibrated through his chair.
"His powers have gotten powerful." Kaldur takes note of. Really now Kaldur? I didn't realize because Wally never was able to vibrate his molecules and it was the first thing we saw him do!
"He also can't control it." Megan says looking at him. He viciously shakes even more on the floor. I move over to him holding him in my arms.
"Make sure he doesn't vibrate through the bio-ship." Conner says and I only hold him tighter. Wally looks up at my mask.
"Robin. . ." He says in fear and rests his head into my chest I can feel my chest get wet as Wally starts to cry. When we get to the cave Roy and Batman are standing outside of the cave waiting for us and Roy looks less than happy. Megan parks outside observing the situation and lets the rest of us out. Wally moves himself away from my reach and runs out of the bio-ship.
"Roy!" He yells and he runs directly into his arms. I stop in my tracks observing the sight as Wally hugs Roy tightly and his shaking slows down.
"What happened?" Roy asks and he's staring directly at me . . . of course.
"I'm so scared!" Wally says into Roy's shoulder.
"It's okay Wally I'm here for you." Roy tells him placing his large hand in Wally's hair.
"Can we go home? Please!" Wally urges him and Roy walks Wally into the car. I was so captivated by the sight I didn't realize Batman right next to me.
"What did happen?" Batman asks me.
"Why didn't he stay with me?" I ask looking down at the ground.
Roy
It took Wally an hour and two smoothies to calm down after whatever happened to him after his little mission with the team. I knew this would happen but everyone thought it would be so cool to disobey Roy. I glance over at Wally as he stares out of the window it's been a while since I heard his voice and I miss it already.
"Wally are you going to tell me what happened now?" I ask him my fifth attempt. No response and I exhale.
"Wally, what if I were to tell you, you can never run as fast as Kid Flash anymore. How would you feel?" I ask him.
"It doesn't matter I don't want to be Kid Flash." He mumbles. Finally an answer.
"Good because you can't" I tell him.
"What?" His head whips off of the window and towards me.
"You can but you still can't." I tell him.
"Break it down." He tells me.
"Okay physically you can run at Kid Flash's speeds the way you use to but mentally you can't." I explain to him.
"You mean like a mental block?" He asks.
"Ya, and until you get over that or at least remember those days again you can't run that fast anymore."
"But I can do everything else. Why can I do everything else?" He shrieks.
"I really don't know Wally. It's a bit more complicated than it should be."
"Roy, I really don't want these powers they're scary and powerful and I just destroyed a hospital because of it." He tells me his shaking slowly starts. I nod my head realizing now what he did and why he's so scared.
