When I write a chapter, if it has bonding or a different rating I'll tell you.

Wally/Kid Flash bonding!

Free Running

Mt. Justice

"Wally," a voice whispered. Wally grunted and turned over in his bed. "Wally." It hissed urgently. He ignored it that is until someone –or something- slapped him.

"I'm up!" he shouted sitting up. A hand clamped over his mouth.

"Not so loud!" Wally looked to the owner of the hand. Wolf. Her eyes were glowing faint amber, and her hood was up. "Wolf?" he asked uncertainly.

"That's me," she smiled and lifted her hand from his mouth.

"Your eyes are glowing," she rolled them. Then he realized she was in his room."God! What are you doing here!" he hissed.

"You like running, right?" the question caught him off guard.

"Yeah…?"

"Good." Wolf stood up. "Get dressed." She ordered, "I want to show you something."

Sighing Wally stood up and changed into his Kid Flash costume.

..oo0*0oo..

"Why are we crouching in the bushes in the middle of nowhere at-" Kid Flash checked his watch, "- 5 in the morning?"

"As I said, I wanted to show you something," Wolf said vaguely. She peeked though the bushes. "Look at that." She pointed.

Kid Flash followed her finger and gasped. His eyes grew wide. They were at the edge of a prairie or grassland or something and running through it was a herd of caribou. It was amazing seeing the great beasts running free.

Wolf stood up. "This is when the fun begins." She announced smirking. Then she walked out of the bushes and started running towards the caribou.

Kid Flash got up and reached out towards her. "What are you doing?" he didn't think encountering a herd of giant animals with rock hard hooves was a good idea.

"Fun," Then Wolf just ran. She ran over towards the caribou and they were soon side by side. Kid Flash was amazed she could keep up with them. Wolf started laughing. It wasn't a crazed maniac laugh. More like the kind of laugh you get on a rollercoaster.

After a while Wolf ran over to him. "What are you doing just standing here?" she asked her hands on her hips. She was in a much better mood.

"I…"

"The whole reason I brought you here was so you could run too!" Wolf grabbed his hand with surprising strength and pulled him out of the bushes. "C'mon!"

Kid Flash reluctantly followed her. Then she made him run. He started slow, but soon he was running at super speed. The world became a blur as he ran across it. The next thing he knows he's done a face plant and someone is cutting the blood circulation in his arm.

"I didn't bring you here so you could run as fast as you please." Wolf frowned at him clutching his arm. "I brought you here so I could teach you."

"What do you need to teach me on running?" Kid Flash stood up. "I'm the fastest boy alive! I don't need lessons on running."

Wolf chuckled and shook her head as she let go of his arm. "You have high metabolism. That limits how long you can run. You need to learn how to conserve your energy and the best position you want to get in when you want to go fast."

"Okay… so you know a little about running." Kid Flash crossed his arms. "What else do you know?"

"We'll get to that later. For now I just want you to control your running." Kid Flash shrugged and ran to the caribou. He looked left then right then left again and nearly got a heart attack. Wolf had appeared out of now where.

"I want you to keep pace with the herd. Not run ahead of it." She said crossly gesturing to the herd behind them. Kid Flashed sighed in annoyance and slowed down. Then it was just him, Wolf, and the herd. The land rushing underneath their feet. The landscape constantly changing. The dust rising and the thundering of hooves.

Oddly Kid Flash felt at peace. He'd never really used his power as fun. Sure he'd use it to get food or go someplace quickly, but he'd never really used it to have fun. And this… this wasn't using his power. It was, but not at its full potential. Since he wasn't using his full speed he could do this for hours…

Time flew by. The next thing he knew Wolf was telling him to stop. She was still running too. And when he asked what time it was she said 12. He glanced up at the sky and shore enough the sun was bright and glaring down at him. Only then did he realize he was starving.

"Do you have any food?" Kid Flash asked sheepishly.

Wolf lifted up a bag. "What kind of person would I be if I didn't bring food when my company was a speedster?" she said jokingly.

Wolf led him to a hill that had a tree. They sat beneath it and Wolf unpacked the bag revealing several sandwiches and a lot of food. Kid Flash dug in. He didn't notice that Wolf barely ate.

"So," he said between chews, "how long have you known of this place?"

"A few years. When I want to escape, I go here." Wolf looked around. "I like to think the animals here like me a little. The caribou don't mind me running with them at least."

"Where are we exactly?" Wolf had used her Zeta Beam to bring them here.

"That's for me to know and you to find out in due time."

"That's what you said about your name." They fell silent.

Wolf broke the silence. "Do you ever feel like you're not good enough? Or that you're foolish?"

Kid Flash swallowed his food. "I'm not a psychologist, but if you feel that way the best thing you can do is talk to someone, a friend."

"You didn't answer the question." Wolf remarked.

"Yes," he replied after a moment, "I'm the third speedster. It's hard making yourself known if there are two others before you who are wiser. Do you?"

"Yes," Wolf admitted, "I've felt incomplete."

"You can always tell me about it. You can tell your friends anything."

Wolf turned to him, confusion written on her face. "I'm… your friend?" she asked shocked, confused, and surprised at once. Kid Flash felt a stab of symphony.

"Yeah," Kid Flash pulled on a cheerful face surprising Wolf even more, "You're most defiantly my friend. And I bet that Artemis, Kaldur, Robin, Megan, and even Superboy consider you there friends. And if they don't, we'll make them."

Wolf smiled, but it was sad and never reached her eyes. "Thank you, Kid Flash,"

"You can call me Wally," he said to her.

"I know, but right now you're not in your civilian clothing so technically your Kid Flash." Wolf explained.

Kid Flash shrugged. "Okay,"

..oo0*0oo..

Mt. Justice

B03 Kid Flash

The Zeta Beam announced Kid Flash's arrival and he dashed appearing as a yellow streak.

"KF, where have you been all day?" Robin asked from the kitchen.

"Out," he said vaguely. He stopped in the kitchen. Everyone was there. "Guys," they looked up from what they were doing. "do you like Wolf? As a friend?"

"Well, yeah," Artemis answered first, "She's a strong fighter and I trust her completely-"

"But is she a friend to you?" Kid Flash interrupted. His question stumped them. Kid Flash's face turned downcast. "I didn't think so." He whispered sadly. Then he ran to his room.

(A/N) September 23, 2011

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while. I watched episode 'Terrors' and was greatly disappointed. But I'm excited for the next episode, 'Home Front', because the only two non-meta-humans get to save the meta-humans.

Anyway, poor Wolf!

Review! (Thanks BlackStar001 for reviewing!)
