What made him do this? Why didn't Wally tell me? They seemed so happy! How long has this been going on?

Questions like these swam through my head as I drove to the Central City Police Station. How could this happen? To say that I was angry was an understatement. I was enraged at Wally's father! I was also disappointed in Wally for not coming to me, and disappointed in myself for not noticing anything.

I turned into the parking lot of the station and circled once around the parking lot before parking. After I parked I just sat in the car for a moment. I felt the rage pumping through my blood and my heart beating fast. My grip on the steering wheel tightened and I tried to resist the urge to put my fist through the window.

When I felt like I had myself under control, and that I wouldn't punch anyone, I get out of my car and walk into the station.

When I walked in I was met with a small room. Chairs lined the far left wall and there was a desk on the other side of the room next to the desk was a steel door with a keypad. I walked up to the desk where a young lady was talking to an officer who stood behind the desk.

"Ok you have a good day darling, and be careful." The lady said and kissed her husband.

"I will be. See you tonight." The officer called to his wife as she walked out the door.

"Can I help you?" The officer asked as he took his seat behind the desk again.

"Yes, I'm here to see someone you have in custody." I told him.

"And what is your name?" The officer asked.

"Barry Allen." I answer.

"Who are you here to see Mr. Allen?"

"Rudolf West." I replied and I felt my anger spike at the name.

"I will go get him, if you will wait here." I nodded, and the officer gets up and walked to the door. He entered the keycode before disappearing behind the door.

I took a seat in one of the chairs that lined the left wall. as I waited I took the time to try and map out what I was going to say. This was going to be one of the hardest conversations I would ever have.

Ires Allen sat in a chair beside her nephew. Her soft snores could be heard echoing through the small hospital room. She hadn't left the hospital since she got here yesterday afternoon, and she hadn't had any sleep till now either. She was pulled out of her restless sleep by a fast beeping sound, that reminded her of her alarm clock. She didn't pay any attention to it till she realized what it was.

Wally's heart monitor.

She shot up in her seat and grabbed Wally's hand, as his pulls became faster and faster. If it weren't for the fact that he was a speedster she would have thought that his heart would burst. "Wally?!" She asked worriedly and began shaking him. She wasn't sure what was happening, so it made it hard to know what to do.

"Hi Mrs. Allen." Artemis said as she entered. "Sorry about that, I-" She stopped when she saw what was happening and hear the fast beeping. "Oh my gosh!" Artemis was by Wally's side in the blink of an eye. "What is happening?" She asked worriedly.

"I-I don't know!" Ires replied.

"Wait look." Artemis said and put a hand on Iris arm. Wally's aunt looked at what Artemis was talking about and saw that the bruises on Wally's face were beginning to look better, and he began vibrating the faster his heart beat.

"He's speed healing again!" She announced. "That is why his heart is so fast, he is speeding up!"

Sure enough a moment later a moan was heard and Wally's eyes snapped open.

"Right this way please." The officer says, bringing me out of my thoughts, and I get up to follow him. We walk through the heavy steel door and down a long hall. He leads me into one of the interrogation rooms, where Rudolf is sitting in a chair with his back to the door and his head hung down, looking at his bruised hands. He doesn't look up as I walk over and sit in the chair on the other side of the table.

"A guard will be outside if you need anything." the officer says. I nod my thanks and he leaves.

The room is silent as I stare at the man in front of me. I struggle to control my anger. I take a few deep breaths before I talk. "Why did you do it?" I ask.

His head remains hung and he take a shaky breath before replying. "I-I didn't mean to." His voice is quiet and there is an audible quiver.

"What do you mean you didn't mean to?" I try not to yell. "No one can do something like this on accident!"

He takes another shaky breath. "I-I know, b-but I-I"

"You what?!" i snap.

"I-I don't know. I don't remember doing it."

Now that I was not expecting. It took me a moment to recover. "How could you not remember beating your only son to death?!" I can't help but yell.

At this, Rudolf's head snaps up, looking at me for the first time. "He-he's dead?" His eyes are wide, and I can see tears in them.

I take another deep breath. "No," I say as I run a hand through my hair, "he's still alive,"

I can see the look of relief in his eyes when I say this, "but he is in the hospital and still hasn't woken up."

At this he hung his head again.

"Is he that bad?" he asked.

"Yes. He isn't even speed healing anymore. He is using all his energy just to keep his heart beating."

The room was silent for a few moments while he processed this information.

"I should never have let it get this far," he said, his voice quiet.

I lean on the table so I am closer to him before I ask. "I don't understand why you would do this to him in the first place."

He takes another shaking breath. His breaths were growing increasingly shallow and shaky. He opened his mouth a few times, but no sound came out.

I decided to ask it another way. "When did this start?"

"After his mother died," he took another shallow breath, "I began drinking." he explained. "And I began beating him… It just started with a slap, but then it escalated from there," he paused for a moment and fiddled with his hands, "at one point the drinking got so bad that I would wake up and not remember anything I did the night before." He stops again, and this is when I realize that he is crying.

"I started seeing wally with new bruises and cuts in in the morning and I could tell that he didn't want to be near me. I put two and two together. I wanted to say something to him, but the words never came." He wasn't even trying to hide his tears anymore and he let them flow down his face as he kept talking. "I was afraid that he would tell someone and I would lose him, so I made threats instead," he was practically shaking now, but he didn't stop. "I only ever hurt him when i was drunk, and I wouldn't remember a thing in the morning." His voice began to rise and I leaned back in my chair. "I don't remember! I beat my own child and I don't know why!" He lifted his hands up so I could see the bruises on them better. "Do you see these bruises? My hands are bruised from beating my child! And I don't know why I did it!" he was on his feet now and the guard had come in to take him out. As the guard was about to pull him out the door I told him to wait.

"I know why you did it." I saw his face turn from despair to surprise to one of ergence. He didn't say anything, so I continued. "He has a book that he wrote everything in, and one of his friends found it." I looked him dead in the eye. "You told him that you beat him because he killed his mother." I could see the look on his face. It was one of regret. I stood up and walked over to him. "You are never going to come anywhere near my family again. Am I clear?" I ask, but he doesn't respond, and the guard takes him away.
