Superman saw Flash appear on the transport pad and watched him angrily stalk off the platform. "So who won?"
The Flash glared at him through his mask. "Why do you care? You don't have to hide who you are from your family. They understand when you break a promise, you're saving the world. They'll let you make it up, they give you another chance. I've used all mine up trying to be the closest thing to a father Roxi has ever had. My biggest fan just lost faith in her favorite hero."
"The Flash?" Superman asked stupidly.
"No! Me-the me I used to be! She lost faith in Wally West." Flash snapped at the Krypton. "Roxi hates me now. It's all my fault for joining this stupid League in the first place."
Flash stalked off. Superman rubbed the back of his neck before calling out to him. "What about the Flash? Couldn't you explain it to her as the Flash? Tell her that you keep needing the help of Wally West's expertise or something like that?"
"Roxi's not stupid, Clark." Flash said, suddenly in front of him. "She's read more books than Bart or Tad when they were normal. She's great with computers and-ask GL-Roxi can tell when you're lying even when your face is straight and she's never met you."
Flash sped off, furious at his own stupidity and failure. He didn't stop until he reached his quarters on the Watch Tower.
