WARNING: MENTIONS OF RAPE AND CHILD ABUSE.
Chapter 9
Iris West-Allen was not a happy woman. She had just received a phone call saying the her niece had just almost been raped by a bunch of boys that had no brains. To say that Iris was mad was an understatement. The red haired woman was furious. She wanted to march right down to the school and make the boys that dared to hurt Wally into eunuchs but was happy that the boys would be going to jail as they were over 18 and had assaulted a minor. There was also Conner who almost killed the guys that dared to hurt his friend.
Iris could see that Conner was really close to Wally given the fact that the young speedster was the first to befriend the Clone. Iris also knew just how protective Conner was his friends. Iris also knew from the talk that she and Barry had with Conner when they were getting the Clone ready to go undercover at Wally's school that Conner was starting to develop human emotions and one of them was love or maybe a crush.
Iris heard the door open from the living room, then heard the familiar sound of air and the opening of the fridge. This was the routine everyday when Wally or Barry came home as they would be starving from a long day at School or work. Iris knew that her niece was going to need some major food due to her ordeal at school so the Reporter had gone shopping to pick up extra food for Barry, Wally and Conner who was staying with them for a while. Iris doubted that she could get Conner to leave after what had happened with School.
Iris went into the kitchen to see her husband and Conner seating at the table. She wondered where her niece was at.
"Wally's taking a shower." Barry told his wife as he sat down eating an apple. Conner was getting something to drink from the fridge.
"I thought as much given what happened to her." Iris replied as she sat down.
"Thank goodness for Conner being there when he was." Barry sighed. He just couldn't believe that his niece had almost been raped by a group of guys that she told to shove off because she wasn't going to sleep with them just gain social status.
"I never thought that someone would something like that." Conner pointed out as he sat down with a glass of milk.
Barry and Iris looked at the young Clone of Superman who had just got his taste of the bad side of the world and of humanity. The Allens knew that Conner knew a bit about what had happened but given the fact that Conner was starting to develop feelings for Wally, it added to the anger Conner showed when he saved Wally from being raped.
"I could tell from the first time I met that creep that I won't like him." Conner pointed out.
"Luke is a creep big time. He is always harassing all the women at Wally's school and most would sleep with him just because of fear or having a bad reputation spread by Luke or one of his goons. I am not saying that those girls deserved what happened to them but Wally is stronger so to speak and has a lot more pride in who she is. Which is one of the reasons I think Luke was trying to get Wally to sleep with him. In Luke's mind, Wally was the ultimate prize so to speak as she wouldn't bow down to Luke like many of the other girls had done. But I think after this little indecent at the School will make Luke and his friends regret what they have done." Barry told Conner, only he was smiling at the last part like a snake. Conner really didn't want to get on Barry's bad side as the clone had a feeling that Barry would be calling in a few other favors to make sure Luke and his goons would be in for a world of pain and fear.
"I think what's going to be hard for Wally is that she is a superhero who saves people's lives but can't save herself." Iris said knowing that she wouldn't know just exactly how Wally felt but knew somewhat as she was a reporter and sometimes couldn't save everyone.
"I'll talk to Dinah about setting up some therapy for Wally as I know that she is going to need it big time." Barry said. It hurt that he could protect the people of Central City but he couldn't protect his niece/daughter.
For some reason it was at that moment that Barry remembered that Hartley and James who were also known only to Flash and Kid Flash as The Pied Piper and Trickster of the Rogues and some of the only people outside of the League to know who Kid Flash was outside of the mask.
What made the Rogues worthy of knowing who Wally was because of the code that the Rogues had. The rogues never took a life nor hurt woman and children and also had a special bond with Wally as she didn't see them as villains but people who were good despite their career choices.
"OH SHIT!"
"Barry, what's wrong?" Iris asked her husband knowing that something was wrong as Barry only cussed when something really bad was going to happen.
"I may have to save Luke from getting murdered by the Rogues." Barry told his wife as he quickly changed into his Flash Uniform and headed out of the house.
Iris paled at what her husband had just said. She knew that the Rogues had a special bond with Wally and would make anyone that hurt her pay for what they did to her. Iris kinda pitied Luke and his friends if the Rogues got their hands on them. The Rogues being villains wouldn't hold anything back when protecting Wally.
"But if the Rogues beat up Luke, won't they be revealing who Wally is?" Conner asked.
"Not Really. The Rogues are known for Almost killing anyone that rapes someone. Luke attempted to rape Wally and since Luke is an adult by law, the Rogues vow of not hurting children goes out the window with him. Before you say anything, even if Wally turns 18, she will still be the Rogue's baby and they will still keep her safe." Iris told the clone.
Conner nodded as he remembered what Barry and Iris had told him about what had happened to Joker when he had kidnapped Wally when she was younger which resulted in Joker being set back to Arkham in a body cast.
"Sometimes it's like have several Uncles and 2 older protective brothers as Pied Piper and Trickster are a little bit older than me." Wally said as she came into the kitchen dressed in a long t-shirt that reached down to her knees and a pair of sweatpants. Her hair was still wet but only slightly.
"Feel better sweetie?" Iris asked as she got a large plate of cold food and stuck it in the microwave to get warm.
"A lot better but I still feel icky." Wally replied as she sat down beside Conner and took a sip of the water that Iris had given her.
"Barry's going to talk with Dinah about getting you some therapy sessions and before you say anything, that is not a suggestion." Iris told her niece as she glared at Wally when she went to open her mouth to say something about therapy. Iris knew that Wally hated going to therapy with a passion but since it was with Dinah maybe Wally wouldn't be so apprehensive about the therapy.
Wally let out a groan at the word therapy. The speedster really hated therapy since she had been seeing Therapist since she was a young child. First with what her father had done to her. Then when Joker had kidnapped her and tried to rape her. Next was the Failsafe simulation which made Wally realize that she may have feelings for Conner when he had been disintegrated. She really wanted to strangle Robin that time but refrained from doing such. She was so glad that it was just a simulation and not real.
Iris was about to smile when she noticed Conner was acting very strange. The clone's back had straighten up and he was more ridged. Iris knew that something was up. Something not good.
"There's someone outside by the window." Conner whispered to Iris who was walking away as if nothing was going one but the clone knew that it was just a way to get whoever was outside not to let the person who was outside know that they knew he was out there.
Before they could blink, the window smacked and in came a man with a black mask on his head and wielding a very large gun.
Conner stood in front of Iris and Wally who the latter seemed to freeze at the look the mask man was giving her. Conner didn't know what it was about this man that was making Wally so fearful as the Clone knew that Wally should not be afraid on a lone gunman.
"Hiding behind your bodyguard and my pathetic sister who married a nerd." The masked man said in a tone that caused Iris's eyes to widen.
"What do you want, Rudy?" Iris asked as she stood in front of Wally. There was no way Iris was going to let her brother anywhere near Wally after what that man had done to her. Iris would die for Wally and so would Barry.
"I want my daughter back!" The man now known as Rudy growled out as he removed his mask to reveal a man in his mid to late 40s with reddish brown hair.
"You lost the right to call Mehira your daughter the first time you started hitting her." Iris growled out as she grabbed her cast iron frying pan and was not afraid to use it on her brother if needed and Iris really hope that it was needed.
"I wasn't going to have a freak or weakling for a child. It was bad enough that she was smarter than what she should have been for her age. I had to beat that freakishness out of her and make her a normal human being. But even then she couldn't stop admiring Barry. I am her father. She should be looking up to me." Rudy growled out as he made a step towards Wally only to have Conner stand in front of her.
"Rudy, Mehira looked up to Barry because he was a better father figure to her than you will ever be. Barry didn't try change Mehira into what you called normal. Barry encouraged Mehira to be who she wanted to be. Did you know that Mehira is on the honor roll since she started 6th grade." Iris yelled out. She was not going to let anyone downgrade Barry who had taken a child that was not related to him and raise her as his own.
"She is MY DAUGHTER and she will pay for what she did to me!" Rudy yelled as he fired the gun in his hand at Conner who was knocked out of the way by Wally.
The bullet was deflective by the frying pain that Iris had.
"What she did you you?! You're the one that hit her until she bleed." Iris screamed as she ran towards her brother with her frying pan and before Rudy knew what had hit him, he was on the floor with a massive headache. Rudy tried to get up only to be knocked in the head once again by the frying pan.
"I'm am going to make sure that you never see the light of day again. From this day forth you are no longer my brother." Iris screamed at Rudy as she hit him one more time for good measure.
"Remind me never to make you made Auntie Iris." Wally said as she got off of the floor with the help of Conner and looked at the bloody form of her sperm donor. She really couldn't call Rudolph West her father as Barry Allen was a better father then her biological father was.
Iris turned around to smile at her niece/daughter. "I may not be like you and your uncle but I can wield a mean frying pan." Iris replied with a smile on her face.
Next chapter: Conner and Wally finally admit their feelings to each other now that the stalker has been taken care of. But what will happen when they do admit their feelings. Find out in the next chapter.
