Hello! 12th chapter! I'm so excited! It's going to probably be another 1-3 chapters before I will be done. I will then probably take WOFT off hiatus. I'm so grateful for all the people who have stuck it out this far, even though the updates are few and far between. I will be on vacation until the 10th of August, then I start school 9 days later. After that, I have to worry about Salt Lake Comic Con. I GET TO MEET CHRIS EVANS! My point, is that there won't be very many updates in the coming months. Thanks! Anyway, enough of the mushy stuff. To the story!

Bruce gently took Wally to the medbay, mindful of his injured back. Just as Dick had said, the word 'Worthless' had been cut into the child's back. There were also dozens of welts, cuts, bruises, and broken bones. Wally had passed out seconds after Roy and Dick showed up. Other leaguers had sleepily opened their doors, rubbing the sleep from their eyes, being awakened by the screaming. Roy and Dick were walking behind Bruce, worry etched across their face. They reached the med bay in record time. He gently laid the red head down as Roy called for a doctor. They were quickly shooed out. Dick cleared his throat.

"So... uh... you're not wearing your mask.' Bruce cursed and ran to his room, quickly putting on his costume over his sleep clothes, too lazy to change out of them. He hurried back, to see Roy and Dick snickering. Their domino masks were covering their faces while they were still in pajamas. Bruce glared at them. They quickly shut up. He smirked internally, only to be interrupted by the rest of the founding 7.

"What happened?" Asked Clark in his no nonsense voice. Bruce rolled his eyes. Not that you could see it or anything.

"Wally has advanced in age once again. He is now 12 years old, the age he was when Nightwing found him." Diana winced.

"His back..."

"Cut. Just like Nightwing said." Interrupted Red Arrow. Everyone winced.

"Where is he?" Asked Hawk Girl. Bruce gestured to the closed door of the med bay. They stood in silence for what felt like forever, until a doctor came out.

"You might want to come and see this." Bruce looked up and quickly walked into the room, followed by Superman, Hawk Girl, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Red Arrow, and Nightwing. When they entered, there was Wally, full size in a hospital gown. He was unconscious.

"While we were fixing his injuries, there was a flash,* and he was like this. His injuries disappeared, but he was unconscious. All we have to do is wait until he wakes up. He's not in a coma, just sleeping." The doctor quickly left. Once the doctor left, Nightwing sighed, and started repeatedly banging his head against the wall. Roy put his hand between the wall and the superhero's head.

"You don't have enough brain cells to waste doing that." Dick glared at him, but stopped. Bruce cleared his throat.

"Someone needs to be with Wally at all times. A familiar face. I will arrange shifts, but for now, who wants to go first?" Roy and Dick both raised their hands. They glared at each other. Superman, who could feel the tension between the two, fidgeted.

"We should have two people with him at all times." Red Arrow and Nightwing looked at Superman. They faced each other, shrugged, and sat down in the uncomfortable plastic chairs. The rest of the heroes slowly filtered out of the room, obviously hesitant to leave the prone speedster. Diana was the last to leave. She looked back at the man in the bed, before exiting the dismal room.

Roy and Dick settled in for the long haul. They expected for Wally to be unconscious for at least 3 hours.

"What do you think his reaction will be to people finding out?" Asked Roy. Dick squeezed the bridge of his nose.

"Self deprecating. He's always thought the abuse was his fault, no matter how hard Barry and Iris tried to tell him otherwise. He'll also be ashamed." Roy nodded. They both froze when Wally shifted. Nothing happened, so they relaxed again. Dick looked at the face of his best friend. It was smooth with youth, no pain or emotion visible. A companionable silence filled the room. Roy shifted in his chair.

"Do you wanna play a game?" Dick looked at the man, eyebrow arched.

"A game?" Roy rolled his eyes, and said nothing. Dick smiled and nodded.

"Let's play 20 questions." Both heroes' jaws dropped and they spun to face the speedster in the bed. Said red head was smirking, but both friends could see the anguish in the young man's eyes.

"Hi Wally. How're you feeling." Wally just avoided their eyes, not saying anything. Roy was about to say something when the door opened and Green Lantern walked in.

"I'm here to relieve you guys..." He trailed off upon seeing Wally awake. His eyes widened and he froze.

"...hi GL..." Said Wally in a small voice. Dick and Roy quickly excused themselves, darting out of the room. When they left, Wally looked like his only lifeline was being snapped in two. He gulped and looked at a concerned guardian from Oa.

"Wally... What... Why didn't you tell us?!" Wally flinched and turned away. He opened and closed his mouth several times before being interrupted. The rest of the 7 came into the hospital room. Flash froze, not moving or meeting anyone's eyes. He felt like a caged animal.

"Wally!" Said Hawk Girl, a huge smile on her face. Flash reluctantly looked up and saw 5 identical looks of concern, pity, and worry. His eyes hardened. He hated pity.

"Why are you all looking at me like I'm broken!" He shouted. The heroes assembled near his bed flinched back. He ripped out his IV and sat up. He didn't want their pity, worry, OR concern. He'd dealt with it for years! He was 18! His father had been in jail for 6 years and had 4 left. There was no need for pity. He glared at his friends, and ran as fast as he could to his room on the Watch Tower. He didn't stop there. He grabbed a Flash ring and quickly put on a costume. A sonic boom rippled through the tower as he ran to the zeta tubes. He was on earth before the Justice League knew what happened.

There you go! Sorry it's short, but I have to go finish packing. I have an Imagine Dragons concert to go to! (After my vacation.) Anyway, here you are! I love you all!
