The Ever Spinning Compass
Chapter 14
Some years passed, and they watching as Aqualad, Speedy, and Robin brought Wally more out of his shell, becoming more and more the Wally they knew, finally the scenes stopped and the Heroes found themselves watching as an limping Wally went over to the recently awaken Superboy who was staring up at the moon.
"See the moon" he chirped with a smile.
Suddenly Superboy stiffen and his eyes widen as a shadow descended from the moonlit sky.
"Oh and Superman, don't we keep our promises or what?"
The next few minutes were not his proudest moments Clark will admit, and he actually flinched when he felt heavy disappointment coming from Wally at his obvious blunt dismissal.
He was just happy that Conner and him now had a good relationship.
The scene changed with Barry and Wally arriving home, they two stepped through the door where a worried Iris waiting.
Nervous, but Stubbornness.
"Wally—"
"I'd do it again!"
His relatives blinked at him.
"I know you said to stay put, but you said nothing about looking into CADMUS and besides, how are we supposed to become real heroes if you're treating us like kids! We've been in all kinds of situations that would have CPS beating down the door if they knew where we all lived!"
"He has point"
"And I know you all mean well, and that sometimes I'm not all there, but still!"
"Wally—"
"AND if we hadn't gone, we wouldn't have found Superboy and, and, and, and—"
"WALLY!"
Wally jumped and he found himself running into a red covered chest.
"Stop"
It took him a moment to realize that he couldn't breathe well, and found himself being sat down and his head pushed between his legs, it takes him a while for him to control his breathing and straighten up, and when he did his Aunt and Uncle were looking at him with a worried expression.
"I'm good" he said.
"You sure?"
Wally nodded.
"Okay, now start from the beginning"
Wally did
The scene faded into white
Afterwards the scenes changed with the new Team Young Justice going through everyday life and missions, they watched as they children went through love, heartbreaks and just life growing up as a Hero and then Barry…died.
He was…..gone.
Just like that.
Numb, that's all they felt, just a deep soul-wrenching numbness.
His eyes wide stared at the spot his Uncle once was.
"Come back"
His legs, they shook as though they wanted to follow, or to give way he didn't know.
"Please, come back"
His whole body was shaking now, and it was getting hard to breathe.
"Don't leave, don't leave Auntie, don't leave me"
"Wally?"
Wally looked at his teammates who looked back with worried frowns and sympathy looks, he turns away not caring, his eyes going back to the spot.
"Come back!"
His legs give way, slides to the ground and cries, above him the rain begins to pour.
The scene fades into heart-wrenching white.
