THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS AND FAVES. STILL GREIVEING WALLY'S DEATH IN YOUNG JUSTICE. WHY DO THEY ALWAYS KILL WALLY IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM? THANKS FOR THE IDEAS AS WELL.
Chapter 9
Several weeks had passed since the death of Barry and Iris Allen and since Wally went to live with Lisa Snart. Wally had started to get into a normal routine. Lisa had discovered that Wally could cook which was something that she learned from her uncle and Agent A. It seemed that the male Rogues liked Wally's cooking and were always over as Lisa's house at least once a week. Hartley and James were over three times a week.
Lisa had also noticed that Wally and Hartley were hanging out more with each other which caused the skater to smile. Hartley seemed happier and was smiley more and wasn't much of a jerk at times. The female Rogue also had a feeling that a certain bat themed member of the Justice League who was known for being protective of the mini heroes that he liked and Wally was one of those mini heroes that he liked. Lisa prayed that Hartley wouldn't do anything stupid enough to endure the wrath of The Batman.
When Lisa opened the door to her house she knew that something was wrong and that someone that didn't belong in her house was in her house. She didn't have time to grab her skates so she grabbed the next best thing and that was a cast iron frying pan that she had used on her brother and the other Rogues at one time.
Lisa pressed herself up against the wall as she rounded the corner that entered her living room to see a dark shape sitting in one of her chairs. Lisa put down the frying pan as she knew that she wouldn't even get in a swing with the person in her living room.
"What are you doing in my house? Although I have a funny feeling that it's to check up on Wally." Lisa asked.
Batman just looked at the Cold themed Rogue in the eye. "You are right. None of the League has seen Wally in some time and as much as they know that you Rogues are less dangerous then some of the other villains but some the League in are concerned about her." Batman told Lisa as he didn't move from his spot.
"I know that you have been keeping an eye on her as even I know that you have a soft spot for our little speed demon. I've heard the way she talks about you and I know that you care about her." Lisa replied with a smile. She knew that despite having a demeanor that scared the crap out of people Batman had a soft side when in came to the baby League. "So what have you found out?"
"I would like for Wally to come back to the Base for a few days when she is ready which I know she is." Batman told Lisa.
Lisa smiled at Batman. He really was looking out for Wally.
"I'll talk to her about going back to your base but she will go there only on her terms." Lisa replied knowing that if Wally went back to the League's base to soon then all the healing that had happened in the past three weeks would be for nothing.
"Agreed." Batman said as he got out of the chair and disappeared into the backyard.
Once Lisa was sure that Batman was gone she let out a loud sigh. That man scared that hell out of her and even more now that she was taking care of a teen hero that was under the protection of The Batman. Lisa knew that if anything happened to Wally or that if she turned Rogue then her life would be over.
The next day Wally headed to the Zeta tube that was in Central City. She didn't know what she wanted to do. She really wanted to see her friends but she wasn't sure that she could handle all the looks from everyone.
"You don't have to do this sweetie." Lisa who right behind her told the red head.
"I have to. Everyone is worried about me and to tell you the truth I really haven't been fair to my friends. I lived and worked with them for the past year and since Barry's death I haven't really visited my friends." Wally told her guardian.
Lisa just smiled at the teen and gave her a hug. "If at anytime you want to leave you just call me."
"I will Lisa I will." Wally replied as she stepped into the Zeta and was teleported to the Cave.
Once Wally arrived at the Cave she was greeted by M'gann coming over to her and giving her a hug.
"Wally, it so good to see you. How are you feeling?" The Martian asked.
"Better." Wally replied as she returned the hug.
"Have the Rogues been treating you well?" Aquaman asked as he came into the room to see the young speedster still looking a little depressed but who wouldn't when you lost the people that had raised you since you were a child.
"Yes they have. They have not been trying to turn me to the dark side as you would call it." Wally replied with a smile to the King of the ocean.
"That is good." The blond king replied with a smile himself. Aquaman was very fond of the young speedster as there was something innocent about her that you didn't still see in many heroes young and old.
Several hours passed and Wally felt like her old self again. There were a few times that would get a little depressed especially when it came to eating since her uncle wasn't at the Cave to help her eat all of the wonderful food that M'gann had made. Wally was also thankful that nobody was walking on eggshells with her since she had lost her uncle and aunt.
Nighttime came and most of the mentors and teens had left leaving Conner, M'gann and Robin and their mentors alone in the Cave with Wally who was out cold on the couch hugging a plushie that looked a lot like Flash.
"She's been through so much in such a short time." Martian Manhunter whispered as he felt Wally's emotions. She was confused and scared about what was happening and why did what had happened to Barry and Iris happen to them.
"She's a fighter. She always was a fighter." Robin whispered remembering the time when he and Roy first found out that Wally had been abused by her father when she was a child. Roy had wanted to track down Rudy West and make that man pay for what he did to one of the kindest and loyalist people that was out there. Batman and Robin were a close second. It had taken Wally months to get her to trust her teammates with her secret life. Everyone had told the speedster that they didn't care about her past but that they cared about her and her well being.
"That much is very true." Conner whispered as he put a blanket over Wally's body to keep her warm. The clone smiled when he saw Wally curl up into the blanket.
"Come on let's give her some space." Superman pointed out as he looked to Batman. "Did you call the person that was taking care of her." He asked knowing full well that it was a member of the Flash's Rogue gallery. Which was something that he was not to happy about but knew that Lisa Snart wouldn't do anything to hurt or lost custody of Wally who really was better off with people that she knew.
"Yes. Golden Glider is aware that Wally will be staying in The Cave tonight." Batman said using Lisa's Rouge name. The Rogues only trusted Batman and Robin with their civilian identities and the two heroes knew that trust was hard to come by with the Rogues.
"Good. I would hate for the Rogues to launch an search party for her." The Man of Steel pointed out remembering a time when he had faced Captains Cold and Boomerang. The two captains had proceeded to give him the riot act about the way he was treating Conner which they found out from Wally about how much of a butt he was being. Thankfully the Rogues had been nice to him and didn't do anything to him other than freeze him after their lecture.
"She is certainly safe with the Rogues." Robin said. He had seen the protectiveness the Rogues had for Wally when Joker had come to Central City to play and had hurt Wally with an acid gun which was something Trickster didn't like one bit. Joker went back to Gotham with broken arms and a large bump on his head.
Everyone agreed that if anyone messed with Wally while she was under the protection of the Rogues than their life would be forfeited. The Rogues were just that protective of her and would die protecting her.
Next chapter takes place a few years in the future with Wally and Hartley in a relationship and engaged to be married.
