Disclaimer: Just one of those fun ideas where Wally's been a Speedster since his teen days in Blue Valley, Nebraska in the Arrowverse.
Summary: Teen Speedster Wally is about to have an unfortunate problem on his hands.
Letting out a happy sigh as he came into the house he and his mom lives in in Blue Valley, Nebraska, Wally was happy school was done for the weekend for a variety of reasons. But his smile quickly faded when a voice called out to him. "Hello, Wallace, welcome home, my boy!"
His eyes widened in alarm as no one should be in the house at the moment, most especially the owner of that particular voice as he cautiously made his way into the living room where one Amunet Black sat in his mom's favorite recliner. "I don't know who you are but we don't have much for you to steal." He told her while acting as if he was scared of her presence in his home.
Which… In truth, he honestly was so it wasn't too much of an act on his part as this was the first time he was meeting this woman in person. Amunet merely laughed, a laugh he honestly wasn't a huge fan of considering it was rather annoying due to its high pitch. "Now now, there's no need to take the ignorant route with me, my boy." She told him as she stood up and took several steps towards him.
Getting serious and holding his ground since seeing it was pointless to try and continue the act, Wally asked her how she found out where he lives. Earning himself a little laugh from her before she replied. "Remember that little dust up you had with a few interesting fellows three weeks ago? Giving you a reason to need a shower more than usual?"
Wally thought back to that moment with a frown on his face as Amunet smirked at him. "I remember, but I still don't see how that explains you managing to find out where I live."
If anything, that smirk became more prominent. "Well, my dear boy, that's because that whole affair was merely a set up to arrange this meeting. As really, you should check yourself for bugs more often, Wallace." She told him in a self satisfied manner with smugness radiating from her voice as his eyes widened in shock.
Grabbing the remote from the coffee table, Amunet quickly used it turn on the tv and played the video that was ready to go. Allowing for Wally to see the photos and videos that had been done of him and those in his life much to his horror and rising anger. The whole thing found Amunet pressed against a wall but she wasn't bothered by this, if anything, she was amused as she laughed. "Now now, I've all the cards here, Wallace, so if you know what's good for you, you'll let me go and listen to what I have to say. Understand? Because what's on your telly is only a copy." Informed Amunet to the young man and he reluctantly let go seconds later.
"What makes you think you can hold this over me for very long? Usin' my speed I know I could find wherever it is you're based out of." He told her.
And idly wondered why the Hell he hadn't done that before now! "Perhaps, but considering I don't even live within the city limits, you may find it harder than you think."
Sure, she had a base of operations but it wasn't a home or anything of the sort. And even if he did find it, well, it wouldn't matter as she had a plan in mind. "But enough about that, let's talk about why I'm here. And no, I've no interest in coercing you into working for me as I think it'd be far too much of a headache to bring you under my thumb."
"If that's the case, and you'd be right about it being a headache by the way, then what?" Wondered Wally suspiciously.
"Oh, simply that since I effectively have you in a rather difficult situation, should you interfere in my operations any further here in Blue Valley, I will use the information I've gathered to oust you to the world." She replied in a bright chipper manner that annoyed the teen Speedster.
"And what's to stop you from doing it anyway? Or using it to make me do somethin' for you despite the headache I'd give you?"
Amunet looked at him for a moment and then shrugged. "Nothing, I suppose. But as it is, I'm a bit exhausted in dealing with your habit of interfering and this is the solution I am going with, my dear boy. So stick to petty crime and saving cats out of trees and you and I shall have no problems." Declared the Crime Lord.
Now, the real kicker is that she was moving operations out of the area as it is in order to get away from the boy's unwanted interference. But he didn't need to know that since it would be way more fun to see him deal with future issues and not know if it was something related to her. The mere thought of that was enough to make her rather giddy! Wally glared at her, hating this had happened and vowing to be more careful in the future and resolved to look for whatever she used to track him to his home. "Fine… I'll stay away from your activities, just please… Don't use that information." Pleaded the young man and hating every bit of it.
Smiling in a victorious manner and even giggling over it, Amunet got into his personal space and pecked him on the cheek before patting it several times. "Pleasure doing business with you, my boy. And don't you worry yourself, I'll see myself out. Oh, and you can keep that copy by the way. Ta!"
And see herself out she did, humming happily as she did so as Wally stayed where he was. Unhappy as can be over the situation and wishing there was something he could do about it. Maybe in the future I can do something about this…
