THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO GET THIS CHAPTER UP. IDEAS ARE GREAT WANTED FOR A FIGHT SCENE BETWEEN DR. FATE AND A VILLAIN. THANKS
Chapter 9
Wally could feel sweat rolling down her forehead. She knew that she couldn't keep the secret of her being Dr. Fate from everyone but she never thought that the person standing in the doorway of her room at the Cave.
"What are you doing here?" Wally asked. The Leaguer that was in front of her was known for coming to the Cave but they would usually call before coming.
"Black Canary was worried about you and since your uncle is off world at the moment she called me. Wally, what are you doing with The Helmet of Fate?" The person asked as they narrowed their eyes at the speedster.
Wally knew that she was screwed. She also knew that she would have to tell the Justice League member that was in front of her why she had the Helmet of Fate.
"It's a long story." Wally told the adult hero everything that she had told Batman and Conner. To say that the Leaguer was shock was an understatement.
"You do know this hard for me to take in especially when you said that you don't believe in magic." the adult replied.
"I know. It was hard for me to deal with the fact that I now have magical power and not just any magical power but one of the most powerful to exist." Wally said with a sigh.
"What are you going to tell your teammates or better yet your uncle?"
"I don't plan on telling them anything as it's safer at the moment if they don't know. So help me Ollie if you tell anyone about me being Dr. Fate, I swear I'll turn you into a frog or something." Wally growled out the last sentence and gave the Robin Hood themed archer a glare that rivaled that Batglare.
Oliver Queen AKA Green Arrow looked at the girl that like Batman was fond of with careful thinking. This was a young girl who didn't believe in magic and now was the host so to speak of the Helmet of Fate. Wally had been able to fool that League and even Zatara of her not having any side effects of bearing the Helmet for what everyone thought was just a few moments.
"Wait a moment! Does Batman know about you being Dr. Fate?" Ollie asked as he sat down on the chair in the far corner.
"Yes, Ollie, The Bat does know that I am Dr. Fate or as I prefer to be called when not fighting Dalia. Also Superboy knows as well. He found out because of his sense of smell and confronted me and I told him everything that needed to be told." Wally told the Emerald Archer.
Ollie rubbed his forehead. He could feel a headache coming and it was one of the headaches that he got when he was dealing with Roy.
"If you want I can make it so that you won't remember that I have the Helmet of Fate but that would involve mind altering which is something I haven't practiced yet. You would be my first with trying to alter memories." Wally told the archer with a evil grin that showed her having fangs. The speedster knew that Ollie would never want his mind to be played with as he had a hard time with Martian Manhunter going into his mind. Wally was really only playing with the archer that was like a member of her family to her.
Ollie shot his somewhat niece a glare. "Kiddo, there is no way on this planet that I am going to let you use my mind as a practice tool. I will keep your secret for the time being. But you really need to tell the team who you are becoming at times." Ollie told the young red head.
"I will when the time is right. I just had a fight with Apollo on trust but in all fairness he asked what secret I was hiding and I know it was not because of me being Dr. Fate. He was asking about my past which I don't want to tell anyone just yet. It's to painful for me to talk about it. You know what that's like Ollie, on having a painful past." Wally told the billionaire who just nodded his head.
Ollie let out a sigh. It was true that he did know what it was like to have a traumatic past as he had watched his parents die in the boating accident that left his stranded on a island for 15 years when he was 5 years old. Wally's painful past was much darker then his could ever be.
Ollie got up from where he was sitting and walked over to the young speedster who looked like she was going to cry at the mention of her past. No body should ever have to go through what Wally had gone through.
Wally could feel Ollie wrap his arms around her and pull her close. He always did that when she was upset and she was alright with that given that fact that Ollie was an uncle figure to her.
"I think that you should tell the team about your past. You can tell them about you being Dr. Fate later but at least tell them about what happened with your parents. It may help with the tension that you guys have." Ollie told the red head who glared at him.
Wally wanted so badly to hit Ollie in the head but she knew that he was right. The team did need to know about her past.
"Okay, Ollie, I'll tell the team today." Wally replied as she pulled away from the archer.
Wally headed over to where her clone was and said few words that caused the Clone to absorb back into her body. The speedster than headed for the door with Ollie right behind her. She really didn't want to tell her teammates as once they found out about her past with her parents, they would treat her completely different. They would baby her and that was something that she really didn't want to happen.
Robin looked up from his book in the directions that he heard footsteps come from. He saw Wally come out of hallway that led to the rooms and saw Ollie behind her. The Boy Wonder knew that Black Canary had called the older archer to come talk to Wally since Ollie was very close to Wally and would be like a uncle to Wally when Barry was gone on League missions.
Wally saw her best friend look up from the couch. Other than the League Robin was the only one who knew the truth about her past which he had found out by accident and a fight.
"Hey Rob, could get the rest of the team? I need to tell them something." Wally told the first sidekick.
Robin knew why Wally wanted the team together. She was finally ready to tell them about her past which Robin knew was not a happy one.
Robin left the room to get the others while Wally went to get something to eat from the cupboards. She grabbed a candy bar and a water. By the time she turned around there was her teammates and friends all sitting down and waiting for her to speak.
Wally took a deep breath before she would say what needed to be said. "I know that as of lately everyone had been giving out their deepest secrets. Apollo approached me on what was my biggest secret and I nailed him to the wall. For that I am sorry but he had no right asking me something that I wasn't ready to give out. Now, after talking with Green Arrow, I feel that I am ready to tell you what my deepest secret is." Wally told the team.
"Are you sure you want to do that Wally? I mean, nobody is forcing you to tell us." Robin asked as he knew how painful Wally's past was.
"Yes, I am sure." Wally told the bird themed sidekick. "You guys need to know that once you hear my secret I do NOT want you to treat me any different that you are now. Okay?" Wally told her teammates who looked at her.
"Why would we treat you any different?" M'gann asked.
Conner knew that the secret that Wally was going to reveal wasn't related to her being Dr. Fate but something in her past. Conner knew this based on that way Wally avoid talking about her childhood. The clone knew that Flash was not Wally's father but he had raised her as his own.
"Let me explain. You guys think that Flash is my father right? Well, Flash is really my uncle by marriage. He's married to my father's sister AKA my aunt Iris. Flash got custody of me when I was 5 when he found out that I was being abused by my parents. My mother would beat me for doing the littlest things wrong and my father..." Wally paused for a moment to get her thoughts in the right place. She had a hard time telling people what her father had done to her. "My father would...rape me almost on a nightly basis. I was 3 when he started to rape me. I actually thought that it was my fault with what my father did to me until Flash took me in and told me that what had happened to me was never my fault. That he should have never touched me the way he did. It took me over 2 years to get comfortable with any male besides my uncle. When I turned 8, I recreated that experiment that gave my uncle his speed powers. I was surprised that when Flash let me become his sidekick that I was able to meet Batman. I was scared because he was known for striking fear into people's hearts. But when I met him, I wasn't scared and later I found out who Batman was when he found out at the same time as Robin did about my past. I still bare the marks of what my father and mother did to me hence why I don't like to be touched and wear long sleeves." Wally told the team wondering how they were going to react now that they knew her past.
Next chapter: The team minus Robin now know that truth about Wally. How are they going to react and Zatara comes to the cave with his daughter.
Ideas needed for next chapter on how the team would react.
REVIEWS WOULD BE GREAT AND GREATLY WANTED.
