Wally sat in the living room in the mountain, his mask off, his heads in his hands. His legs haven't stopped shaking since his uncle caught him running at the border of Gotham and Star City. If it weren't for his uncle, he would be searching all over Star City right about now instead of sitting in the mountain, racked with even more worry and a higher want to rush back outside to continue searching for Dick.

He was stupid, stupid for being blinded by his hurt of Dick breaking up with him that he didn't notice how off the younger had been. He should have noticed Dick gripping the covers of his bed, not looking at him in the eye for most of the time, especially when the redhead blew up at him.

He was stupid, stupid to think that Dick wouldn't want to know more about the ringmaster especially after the lack of information they gave him.

Grumbling, the redhead held his head tighter, angry at himself. He should have noticed. Dick was right, a proper boyfriend would have noticed those things in a heartbeat and yet he didn't. Dick was right for breaking up with him, the younger deserved better.

Lost in his thoughts, Wally didn't bother to look up when he felt someone sit on the couch beside him, the couch dipping. He felt a hand on his shoulder, making him look up to see his worried uncle.

Barry sat beside him, his mask pulled off as well, looking at his nephew in worry. It had been two days since Dick ran away and Wally hasn't stopped looking for him. The redhead ignored all the calls of his parents and aunt, only going home late at night, stopping for a quick break before out again even before the sun was up. It was only luck that Barry managed to find him.

Handing his nephew an energy bar that he took from the kitchen, Barry waited patiently for Wally to talk to him instead of asking questions, demanding answers. He didn't know what happened when Dick was rescued but he knew whatever conversation he and the ebony had affected his nephew greatly.

"We broke up," Wally suddenly confessed, his head lowered, gripping the granola bar.

Barry was shocked but he had already guessed as such. He remembered how he thought about that possibility, it would explain why his nephew was so devastated, but he quickly brushed away the possibility. Why would the two break up?

The blond remembered the first time Kid Flash met Robin, his nephew nervously vibrating on the spot, excited to meet the first child hero. Kid Flash was nervous most of the time, stumbling more than he usually did and though he was embarrassed, his nephew seemed to still brighten up at hearing the child hero laugh. Ever since then, the two were inseparable and when Wally came to him one night, telling him and Iris that he wanted to ask out Dick, he and his wife weren't shocked, much less shocked when the two of them started dating.

That felt like a long time ago. Sure, Wally coming to him and Iris and dating Dick was just a month ago but even before them his nephew and the younger already looked like they were already in love with one another for far much longer than that. Cute and funny playdates quickly turned into close friend hangouts, and quickly into cute playful banters that were them actually flirting with one another.

Instead, Barry just hummed, urging his nephew to continue.

Wally sighed and suddenly laid back, slouching on the sofa. "I… If only I were faster, I shouldn't have just given up on him, I should have been there for him," the redhead said, his face crumpling. "Where could he be?"

Barry stared at the ground, not meeting his nephew in the eyes, which Wally was thankful for. "We'll find him," Barry said. "The League and the Team are doing as much as they can to look for him. Batman hasn't slept since he came back, even Alfred hasn't complained about it," Barry tried to comfort.

Wally seemed to sink further into the couch at what his uncle said. "And then what?" Wally growled, suddenly angry. The redhead sat up, glaring at the ground like it was the one who is trying to kill Dick and causing this whole mess. "It was my fault that he thought we couldn't help him. If only I looked for him instead of grieving when he could have been very much alive, he wouldn't have run away! He might not have been beaten! On live tv as well!"

Barry clenched his hand but not saying anything, knowing that his nephew very much needed to vent, need to let go of the anger.

"I could have done something! Anything!" Wally yelled, before slouching, his anger gone and now just tired and hurt. "Maybe he wouldn't be carrying this all on his own. He should have told us, we could be helping him, he doesn't need to do this by himself… Maybe if I said something, I could have convinced him to stay… or at least he wouldn't have to be alone. I would have gone with him."

Barry smiled sadly, placing a hand on his nephew's shoulder once more. "If I know Dick, he'll understand that you were just devastated of losing him, him being taken before your eyes," Barry chuckled. "You two just need to talk about it."

Barry stood up, patting Wally's shoulder before leaving the redhead to mull over his uncle's words.

The wind blew, ruffling his hair, the flags of the tent waving with the wind. Walking here brought so many memories from his past. He remembered running through the train carts with his cousin, aunt, uncle, and parents. He remembered waking up early, playing with the animals on local tours, especially with the elephants.

Smiling sadly at the memories, he looked around the familiar red and white tents and the familiar train carts that were basically his home as a child, it almost felt foreign being here. Coming back was bittersweet especially under all the circumstances.

Sighing, he stuffed his hand in his pockets, walking past the posters displayed on the train cart his foot stumbling when he saw one poster before quickly turning and walking away quickly.

He stopped in front of a cabin cart, the lights switched on, smoke coming out of the pipe for the heater inside. Sucking in a breath, he walked up to the cabin cart, his hand hesitating before knocking on the wooden door.
