Chapter Ten- For The Love Of A Son.

Central City, 2011

Friday, November 18, 5:30 pm

Dick Grayson couldn't help the blush that crept along his pale cheekbones, caused by his odd boyfriend. They were on their way Wally's school to watch a basketball game. "To take your mind off of the craziness happening lately"- the speedster had said with a grin which he remembered, returning a half-heartedly smile. He doubted a large crowd of sweaty people and greasy food would help. However, it beat staying home with what it seemed like every member of the manor had an eye on him like a hawk. Even Ace and Sergeant would bark at his door until he opened the door and they'd stay there for the night, making sure he wasn't in some sort of trouble.

Wally had gotten his driver's license three days before and his father actually let him burrow the car to take to the school. Dick thought that was considerably weird. Since Wally's father was very touchy with anything Wally did or didn't do. It was extremely awkward to enter the household and to see the man abusing his speedster two feet in front of him, and had to pretend to be dense about it. Wally had pleaded with him beforehand not to react if his father acted out. Even though it was against everything Dick believed in, he did and was thankful Wally's father hadn't done a thing but sneer at them both with a beer can clutch in his pudgy like hands.

At this moment though, Dick was hoping the cars windows were tinted enough so the pedestrians couldn't see how the speedster was making a fool of himself. The speakers in the car were bumping out a high-speed bass, Dick could feel the vibrations on every beat, and the speedster was singing loudly. Way out of tune,

"When I walk in the spot this is what I see, Richard Grayson is a' looking at me. I got passion in my pants and I'm not afraid to show it, show it, show it…"

"Are you done?" Dick asked cannot help but smile as Wally danced in his seat with one hand on the wheel.

"I'm sexy and he knows it." Wally finishes with a head pop towards the red-faced bird.

Dick rolled his eyes at him and the speedster sticks his tongue out, pulling into the school's parking lot.

Keystone High, 2011

Friday, November 18, 6:00 pm

The sounds from within the gymnasium overpowered anything the speedster was saying to the little bird. As they took a seat near the school's pep band members that were recently tuning their interments while others shoved their faces with food from the concession stand before they had to play again.

"Is it always this crowded?" Dick somewhat shouted out as he watched Wally open a Reese's Pieces candy bar and offered him a buttercup. He took the offered chocolate, removed the warping, and bit into it, tasting the sweet taste of peanut butter and the chocolate surrounding it.

"Yeah somewhat my school's boy's varsity basketball team is really good, but this game will determine if they get to go to state championships… Don't you go to your own school's games?" he hears Wally yell opening up a bag of chips.

"Not really" Dick confessed and he watches Wally nod understanding,

"Wally you came!" Dick suddenly hears from his right but doesn't have time to look in that direction before he is knocked to the side by a petite brown-haired girl. Who wrapped her thin arms around the freckled boy's neck, giggling non-stop.

"Was there any doubt I would?" he hears Wally say and he cannot help the jealousy crept deep within him. 'Who the hell is this girl?' he thinks snatching the bag of chips from the speedster's hand and starts to munch on them, watching the game that was already in progress.

"Are you ready for tonight?" he hears the speedster ask and he feels left out that Wally had simply ignored him.

"Yeah, definitely good music tonight and we finally got Abigail to do an aerial like the rest of us" Dick listens to the girl's peppy like voice, - "So, are you going to introduce me to your friend or am I going to have to find out for myself?"

"Oh, right" Wally laughs, "Campbell this is Rick, Rick, Campbell. She goes to school with me."

Dick jumps at the name and gives Wally a glare then takes a look at the girl. She's tiny like someone who would think would be anorexic with pale skin like his. She has a heart-shaped face with freckles dusting across her cheeks and forehead. Her long brown hair the same length as Artemis but a tad bit shorter is slicked back in a ponytail unlike Artemis' usual pony this one had volume. She had on a cheerleading costume of sorts with intricate strips of white and green. Dick assumed was Keystone's colors since he was seeing them everywhere.

"So you're the famous Rick? Wally told me so much about you" she says cheerfully extending her hand out for him to shake which he took it gently afraid that if he was to grip it would break her.

"Did he now?" he asked giving another glare towards Wally.

"Oh, yeah we have Home Ec And English together. He should make you his special bake goods they are so good. But I usually outsmart him in English though poor boy doesn't know the difference from a verb from a adjective."

Dick couldn't help but chuckle his hand over his mouth, starting to think the girl wasn't too bad.

"Oh shut up!" Wally snaps, hearing Dick stifle a chuckle, - "that was one time; anyway don't you have to flounce around on the gym floor?" and the speedster receives a smack to the head.

"It's not half-time genius. But I suppose I should get back to my team. Nice to finally meet you Rick maybe you can teach something intelligent to ginger here." she says to the bird waving to him whom replies back. - "Maybe, nice meeting you as well."

"Rick?" The speedster hears the acrobat say and he can feel his ears go red.

"I had to come up with some name" he confesses, turning towards him, "I couldn't say Robin it's too sketchy and since I didn't know your actual name I made one up."

"And you chose Rick?" he asks popping on a chip in his mouth.

"Well yeah after I ran into Dick in Gotham I realized how cool he was, and since Rick is a nickname for Richard it kind of clicked I guess." Wally says hearing his voice go soft as if embarrassed

"That's awesome dude." Dick says chucking once again and Wally beamed at him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, let's give a warm welcome to Keystone's Varsity Dance Team!"

Wally and Dick cheered loudly for Campbell, hearing others cheer as well for her and other dancers as the they got into their places.

The music blared from the speakers and Dick watched as the dancers moved to the beat, seeing Campbell in the center and in the front row, moving through each movement with grace and speed with the remixed music.

"She's like a freaking hummingbird." Dick exasperated not taking his eyes off the dancer, watching them do what it seemed like million of turns on the balls of their feet while the crowd cheered them on.

"Yeah Cammie's probably the best one out there. But I bet if you were out there you would be." Wally whispered, throwing a arm around him. Which Dick shoved him off saying, "Yeah right."

"No truthfully and it wouldn't hurt to see you in those short skirts."

Dick rolled his eyes saying there was no way and Wally started to protest,

"Oh, why not? That would be sexy." he said leaning in and Dick playfully looked away with a smile on his face.

The dance had ended with the dancers looking tired and sweaty with the exception of Campbell who was smiling triumphantly.

Then out of nowhere Dick sees him. His other half. Dick felt the woozy feeling take over as he grabs Wally's knee for support. He watches the imposter Robin with a sweatshirt and baggy pants adoring sunglasses that he himself wasn't recently wearing slipped through the crowd, beckoning him to follow.

"Dick? Are you alright?" He distantly hears Wally ask grabbing his shoulder for support, and felt himself shake from Wally's hand to snap out of it.

"What?" he asks turning his head to Wally's concerned looked face. The acrobat was about to tell the speedster what he had saw, but a certain thought reentered his mind,

'No more complaining, no more crying, no more screaming like some bungee after a nightmare. I can figure this out on my own. I will.'

"I'm got to go to the bathroom think those chips did a number on me." Dick lied and got up watching Wally give him a suspicious look.

"I'll be back in a second" Dick says quickly and disappears into the crowd before Wally can stop him.

He isn't used to the school as he gets into the hall pushing passed others reentering the gym for the rest of the game. He doesn't find the other half until he turns and sees him far down a darkened hallway waving back at him with a sickening look on the fake face then a person steps in front of his vision and his other half is gone.

Dick runs towards him knocking over a preppy looking boy with a plate of nachos, shouting at him as he bounded down the hallway ignoring the boy too invested to find and talk to the paranormal person.

He hears the boy laugh like him and he turned and ran towards the noise, seeing the boy about to send a punch when he gets close enough, but his other-half disappears in thin air.

'Now that's just rude…'

Dick spins around but there isn't anyone there until he is shocked to feel a blow at his stomach and he falls backward, shutting his eyes for the oncoming landing. But it never came. Instead he was hearing the annoying laughter in his ear.

He opens his eyes a little, seeing the sneer in the other's face and he feels himself get pushed against the wall.

Dick is frozen with shock. His mind reeling at the sudden action, 'He's real? He is actually real!' and Dick finally gets a hold of himself and shoved the other away from him, and receives a hair tug in return, wincing Dick's one hand grabs hold of the hand above him while the other grabs hold of his utility belt under his shirt ready for the attack,

'Poor birdie. What's wrong with you? Everyone thinks you're mad. Maybe you are…'

Dick eyes dilate, "What the hell are you?" he asks and watches as the Dark Robin is about to open his mouth when a sudden sound interrupts them,

"Hey kid, you're not supposed to be back here."

The acrobat snaps his head in the direction of the voice seeing a janitor whom belonged to it, feeling his hair get released and he knew his dark self was gone.

"I got lost." He lies through his teeth grinning at the man. Who doesn't buy it, but nevertheless plays along and tells him how to get back to the gym.

Dick walks back wiping his mouth, looking everywhere for his speedster to tell him what had happened, and when he finally does he finds Wally near the entrance they came in to where the car was parked, talking with the girl named Campbell, whom had a water bottle clutched in her hand.

"There he is." Campbell says and waves to him and he waves back slightly.

"Dude where were you? You missed the whole game. They're going to states." Wally says punching the air and Dick sees Campbell roll her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah good for them but what about my team people barely cheered when we did our acrobatic ticks." she pouted and this time Wally rolled his eyes,

"You did great I thought." Dick said to her and she beamed at him, hoping they could leave as soon as possible, and the next thing Wally says makes him relieved.

"Oh jeez, Rick let's go. Before the snow falls even harder." Wally replies looking out the glass doors.

Campbell waved them off and they rushed to the car. Before the snow covered them. Wally unlocked the car doors and Dick slid in warming his hands, seeing his breath in the air.

"Seriously where were you?" Wally asked turning on the ignition and switched the heater on full blast.

Dick was about to open his mouth when a sudden dark thought consumes him, "You really think Wally is going to believe you? He'll just think you're going crazy like Bruce. Do you really want that?"

"Like I said before I had to go to the bathroom." Dick snapped, shoving his hands in his sweater pockets.

"Dick?" Wally said soothingly getting closer to him, "You can talk to me dude, aside from the relationship thing. I'm your best bud."

Dick could feel his throat close and he closed his eyes saying, "I had to go the bathroom Wally, really."

He hears Wally sigh deeply and he bites his lips irritably 'How long will this last?'

'Let's hope forever…'

The ride home for Wally was maddening. He wanted to pry the bird about what happened when he left to go to the bathroom. But knew if Robin wanted something kept to himself it would stay like that.

The speedster pulled into the driveway and put the rusting car into park sighing out, "Ready for a exciting night?"

He heard Dick snort, knowing exactly what he meant. He knew it was extremely difficult for the bird to sit there, watching his father clutch a beer can in his fist staring him down with a filthy sneer.

He thoughts are interrupted by a slight touch on the tip of his member. The speedster hadn't even realized the acrobat's hand creeping on his leg.

"Dick?" he asks, turning his head and arched an eyebrow at him. Dick only smirks back, unbuckling his seatbelt and launched himself on him capturing his lips in a scorching kiss. He feels slightly cool hands feel their way under his shirt and latch onto a nipple. He groans into the kiss, trying to unbuckle his own seatbelt. while the acrobat sucked on his neck.

Wally's hands finds Dick's waist and practically threw him in the back seat, settling himself on top of the bird's body, leaning down to kiss him.

"Oh crap! Wally what about your parents?" Dick panted out feeling the speedster open his jeans, and slid and hand down his navel as he let out a gasp. Suddenly not really caring if they would indeed get caught.

"They're probably asleep already, and we can be quick." Wally soothed and Dick felt his member harden as the ginger's freckled hands stroked him.

"Oh god Wally." Dick says breathing heavily as he feels the speedster lower his jeans and boxers down. He watches as Wally bend down, sensing him engulf his length, hearing him slurp and suck on it.

Dick feels his member give a twitch, which continued with each gentle lick of the speedster. Dick tired widening his legs to feel more pleasure, but found it extremely difficult since the car had a small backseat.

"I'm sorry there isn't a lot of room, but you don't really seem to mind." Dick hears Wally say as he feels a finger probe him in his entrance. And he lets out a screaming moan, thrusting his hips up more.

"You don't mind at all."

Dick doesn't respond as he lifts his hips upward, begging Wally to suck him again. Which Wally is happy to oblige.

"Wally stop! Wally I'm serious stop!"

The said speedster looks up, giving the now sweaty bird a weird look.

'He liked it a minute ago.' he thinks and gets up, wiping his mouth. As he heard Dick groan for more.

Wally furrows his brows not understanding, but a sudden whoosh of the frozen night air makes him stop to ask why Dick was acting this way. For he has already figured it out.

Wally feels a sudden tight grip encase his collar and he is thrown backward into the snowy bank that once was a grassy lawn before the snow.

A sudden fist connects to his face, and he turns his head from the blow, feeling his lip swell. Another hit is connected to his face and he knows for sure he is bleeding.

Blood splashes onto the pure white snow as Dick struggles to get his pants up, getting out of the car to stop the commotion. He pulls the pudgy man off of Wally who is in a fetal position clutching his face, protecting it from further violence.

Blood splashes onto the pure white snow as Dick struggles to get his pants up, getting out of the car to stop the commotion. He pulls the pudgy man off of Wally who is in a fetal position clutching his face, protecting it from further violence.

"Get away fag. This doesn't concern you." The man says about to hit him as well which he is ready to attack if needed.

"This is my concern. Lower your hand if you know what's good for you." He says back, seeing Wally stagger upward from the corner of his eye.

Wally hears the crude way his father speaks to his boyfriend as he gets up noticing that his father is ready to strike at the bird.

He feels himself speed towards the pair, shielding Dick's body with his, and looks up at his Father.

"I didn't raise you to be this way. It's not normal." His father said taking his shoulders and began to shake him.

He could see Dick from the corner of his eye stepping closer towards him trying to pull them apart.

"Stop. Let him get his part out." Wally says and Dick stops, hugging himself.

"I see why you like him. You got him to be your bitch."

Utter rage that the speedster didn't know he possessed overcame him, and he lunged towards his father, forgetting the fact that he was a hero, forgetting the fact of his promise to himself never hitting any of his loved ones no matter what. All was on Wally's mind was that he wanted to hurt his father as badly as he could. To have his father know what it felt like after all these years. He wanted to have his father know what it felt like if anyone else called his lover absurd things.

"YOU WERE NEVER A FATHER TO ME! I TRIED SO HARD TO BE THE PERFECT SON BUT YOU NEVER CARED!" Dick heard Wally scream out landing fists onto his father's face.

"Wally stop!" he cried seeing Wally's father's blood mix with the speedster onto the snowy ground.

"FATHERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE KIND! THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPORTIVE THE ONLY THING I HAD CLOSE TO A FATHER WAS FLASH! "

"Wally you'll kill him." Dick yells springing forward, grabbing hold of Wally's right arm, trying to pull him off.

Dick knew Wally's mind was clouded over with rage, as he felt the speedster's right arm wheezed through his grip and- it's too late for him to stop the blow and he instinctively knows that he doesn't have the power to block it. He may have great agility, but a when a speedster wants to direct a hit, there's no way you can deflect it.

The pain is blinding and instant. As jagged flashes of light cross his vision and he falls to his knees. Can't helping but cup his stinging cheek with his right while his left stationed itself onto the cold wet ground. Tears were recently falling down his face, feeling blood escape his now cut lip. He can already feel a welt against his pale skin, raising his face a little to look at Wally.

He gets a glimpse of the speedster. Eyes were big and watering. His mouth agape and the color in his freckled face went paler then his.

"Wally I'm fine." Dick says, getting up and felt Wally's arms around him pulling him into a embrace.

"I'm sorry. Please I didn't mean to. I was so angry but not at you. When he called you those words I lost control I'm sorry." The bird hears the speedster sob into his neck, clutching onto his shirt for dear life.

"Wally it's okay. We need to get out of here now." Dick says sternly watching Rudolph scramble upward, heading to the house for only a higher superior knew what.

"You better get off my property boy. You have the rest of this weekend to get your shit out of here and never come back. You hear me?"

"Yeah" Wally croaked out releasing his little bird, seeing his mother at the door, getting shoved out of the way by his father.

If he left at this very moment would his mother endear the abuse instead? He wasn't sure. He couldn't bare to think of it either. No matter how much she watched him suffer through the years. He Didn't want to see that happen to anyone else.

He speeds towards her whom has tears in her eyes. - "Mom, I can take you out of this place and-" the sting from his mother's freshly filed long sharp nails rack him into his cheek, cutting into his flesh and causing more blood to flow. He lets out a horrid cry, hearing Dick yell out to him.

"I didn't raise you to become a faggot. You're not my son. I never had one."

"Mom?" Wally chokes out reaching towards her with the hand not clutching his cheek. Tears flowing heavily. "Mom."

"I don't know who you are calling Mom but I assure you if I ever had a son or daughter I wouldn't allow them to be a fag. Now like my husband said, Get off our property before I call the police."

Dick sits there in the Allen's apartment couch watching Wally's Aunt apply ointment to Wally's injures. Dick had already explained what had happened since Wally refused to speak.

"Now sweetie were going to get custody for you. We should have gotten it a long time ago." Aunt Iris said wiping a tear from Wally's cheek.

"You two should get to bed." Barry said from his chair, and Dick got up waiting for Wally to move.

"It's going to hard kid I know but were all here for you." Barry said getting up ruffling Wally's wet hair from a recent shower.

Wally still didn't say anything but leaped up to hug his uncle, letting out a sob and Dick grimaced knowing it wasn't his place to stay in this room and headed into the guest room. Where Wally usual slept and went under the covers pulling up the huge sweatpants that Wally let him borrow.

After tears shed, and many thanks of taking him in. Wally slumped into his room and slid under the covers feeling the lithe body in front of him and the bird shifted and pulled Wally into his arms. As the speedster started to weep once more into his chest. While he heard the little bird chirp out soothing tunes.

"Here's the last of the boxes." Wally hears Dick say and watches him sit them down at the edge of the bed.

"Thanks" he mumbles, feeling the bed dip a bit from Dick's weight on it. "Are you staying tonight?" he asks

"He speaks" Dick teases then says, "I can. Since I'm not needed for patrol." the speedster suddenly then feels the acrobat's fingers within his ginger hair and he immediately falls for the comfort he needs and he lets himself lower down and rests his head on the bird's lap, feeling a tear escape one of his evergreen colored eyes.

"Talk to me, Wals." the speedster distantly hears within his broken mind. But he knows he needs to because if there was one person in this world he could talk to was his friend Robin,

"I endured every blow, every kick, and the verbal abuse that came with it. I always knew that what he was doing was wrong. I mean who abuses their child merely because it wasn't their vision of a perfect, obedient child? But never in my life did I think I was going to become like him."

Wally honestly doesn't know what to expect in his confession. But he knew a shift shove from his boyfriend to get off his lap wasn't on the top of the list,

"WALLY WEST YOU LOOK AT ME THIS INSTANT!"

The said speedster cannot help but cringe at the fury Dick's voice carries as he slowly takes his glance up to his furious little bird.

"Wally what the hell is wrong with you? How could you ever put yourself on that low of a scale? You're not like your father you're-"

"But I hit you Dick. Look in the mirror that cut lip and bruise came from me. My hand stuck upon your face. That del-icate fa-face…" the last bit was caught in Wally's throat as tears came down his face, and he started to breathe heavily as a tight knot formed in his chest from the pain.

"Wally I am not delicate. I've been in worse conditions and you know that, and what's more you lost control it happens to everyone. There isn't anything to cry about. Come on Wally look at me."

Wally sniffles wiping his face with his sleeve, and shyly stared up into those blue pools of Dick's beauteous eyes, feeling his green ones shut a little from what he supposed the pain medication his Aunt had given finally was kicking in as he felt the doziness, awaiting for the bird to chirp out.

"Wally you have something that your father will never have, it's love. Even when people push you away you don't give up. Hell, you annoy the person until they give in, and can't help but love you unconditionally."

"Really?" Wally whispers out, and senses Dick's arms encase him and he suddenly feels safe and warm, as he listens to Dick whisper sweet things into his ear.

"Dick?"

"Hmm?" Dick asks quietly not wanting to disturb the silence, as he cranes his head that was recently leaning on Wally's chest and saw a sheepish look on the speedster's face.

"Will you sing to me to sleep?"

Dick can feel his face grow warm, as the simple question enters his subconscious. He coughs out thinking of the recent song had been on his Ipod's top rated list ever since he found it online a few months ago.

"Yeah Wals I can to that." he says smiling to the freckled boy whom smiles back a little. Dick gets up leaning on the headboard of the bed, curling his fingers in Wally's locks. Hearing the speedster give a sigh and snuggle closer towards him.

He begins the song not wanting to go as high as the original artist sings it since he wants it to be more soothingly like a lullaby,

"When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse…

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you…"

Dick could feel the weight of Wally's body on him increase and a snore exists the speedster mouth. The acrobat looks down, smiling and scoots his body down and follows the speedster in the dream realm.

Central City, 2011

Sunday, November 20, 10:39 am

Wally awoke groaning somehow he had ended up on the side of the bed with no covers on his body. He lifted himself upward ruffling his red hair, feeling the bumps on his face minimize from his fast healing ability. He looks over to see that his boyfriend had managed to make himself a nest, from the sheets and pillows that covered the bed. He didn't recognize nothing of him but a barely noticeable tuft of ebony colored hair, poking from under the blanket that covered a small bulge in the center of the nest.

"He must have had to curl himself up to a size of a pillow to really fit there." Wally thinks and cannot help but feel lucky that Dick was really that flexible. Wally gulps down a laugh at the mere sight and bite his good side of his lip to do it. Dick would always deny anytime Wally would bring it up, but Dick did have animalistic tendencies to a bird and it was simply adorable to the speedster.

Wally checked the time again and sighed, knowing that Dick needed to get up soon. Since he had a private jet to catch at one.

He sighed and settled himself at the edge of the bed ready to move the blanket back a little to see the bird below. The moment he did though the bird shifted, making Wally jump back a little. Dick turned onto his back. One of his legs were now sticking out of the blanket all the way up to his knee. Wally's faded t-shirt of his school's logo shown upon Dick's chest. The acrobat's arms flew upward as he yawned, eyes still closed.

Wally lifted an eyebrow curiously. 'So, he was unwilling to wake up huh?' Wally thought as he crawled towards the bird and began to give him butterfly kisses along his face. Dick moaned as if annoyed and tried to bat the speedster away whom couldn't suppress a chuckle, and ended a kiss upon his lips.

Dick Grayson eyes shot open as he felt Wally's lips on his thinking, 'I'm up now.'

"I'm guessing you had a good night sleep. Since you took up all the bed and blankets you hog."

Dick arched an eyebrow at him getting up and saw what he did that night with the covers. "Opps." he says and starts to giggle. He watches as Wally just rolls his eyes and seals another kiss.

Whoop! Here you go I know it's short, but at least the next chapter we get to know what the heck is going on with Dickey. I hope everyone is doing well and please review.
