I loved all my reviews! I got some really sweet comments and some really good advice.
So truth be told the only thing I love more than superhero kids is supervillan kids.
New characters: Len Snart - Captain Cold, leader of the Flash's Rouge gallery (bad guy group) / Hartley Rathaway - The Pied Piper (he's gay FYI)/ James Jesse - The Trickster / Thaddeus Thawne - Inertia (Barts clone in the books but I'm just making him Professor Zooms son in this) / Eobard Thawne - Professor Zoom (Barry's arch enemy)
DC owns it.
Wally had never really liked Sundays. It felt wrong to him to steal on a day that was suppose to be for peace and rest and good. That apparently didn't matter to the Rogues though because they had decided to rob Central City First National Bank. Wally, being the new oldest, had been left in charge of his younger cousins while Barry and Bart went to stop the break in and Iris went to report on it.
Jenni sighed heavily next to him "Sure wish they'd let me go sometime. I'm just as fast as Bart is!"
Wally rolled his eyes
"Look at it this way," He said "I'm way older and faster than Bart and I'm sitting here with you."
"Well yeah but you were robbing places yourself until five days ago," Wally made a face. Did Iris and Barry really tell the kids why he had moved in? Not keeping secrets is one thing, completely outing him was another.
"S'pose your right," Wally muttered.
"Walllly I'm hungry!" Don sniffed as he pulled on Wally's new yellow hoodie.
"Me too!" Dawn said from her perch on the back of the couch.
"I am too," Jenni said, nudging him with her shoulder.
Wally was too but he could have waited until dinner. "Well...What do you guys like to eat?"
"Cake!" Don dawn said instantly.
"Pseggti!" Dawn insisted.
"Why don't we just heat up some pizzas?" Wally loved Jenni.
"Pizza it is," Wally smiled. Within five seconds Wally had ran to the kitchen, opened the fridge and gathered seven large pizzas.
"Okay...Preheat oven to 350°...Check...Remove plastic from product...Check...Place in oven...Ch-"
"Wait!" Jenni said, "Aunt Iris always puts something under the them so that stuff wont fall of and burn at the bottom."
That made sense.
Wally grabbed the boxes from off of the counter, placed them in the oven and then placed the pizzas on top.
"Check!" He said closing the stove.
"You guys want to watch a movie or something?"
"Can we watch Finding Nemo?" Dawn squealed.
"Sure..." Wally dug through the movies piled by the TV until he found the correct movie.
"This one?" He asked, holding it up in the air and Dawn nodded, her head a blur. Wally popped the DVD into the slot and hit play.
"Sit by me!" Dawn demanded, patting the couch cushion beside her.
Wally sighed and smiled a bit before sitting down next to his little cousin. Jenni sat on his other side and Don squeezed himself onto the same cushion as his sister. The movie started and Wally felt strangely at home. He had been trying to establish some kind of day to day comfort among his relatives but having only recently started a relationship with them, it was difficult.
"I smell smoke," Jenni said offhandedly.
Wally took in a deep breath.
Huh.
He smelled smoke too.
"Maybe the pizzas are done," He had never actually made oven pizzas before right then.
"They take longer than that," Jenni's eyes widened.
"Just calm down. Ill go check," Wally stood and zoomed to the kitchen.
"Shit," Smoke was spilling out of the stove quickly, making the kitchen air hard to breath. "Stay in there!" Wally shouted to his cousins. Calm deep breaths. Fire needed heat, oxygen, and fuel. Well he was making pizza in a stove so the heat and fuel were staying. He'd seen Barry make a oxygen stealing tornado on the news hundreds of times, he could do it.
"Why should we stay in there Wally?" Jenni, Don and Dawns heads peeked around the corner.
"Whoa a fire!" Dawn cried.
Wally sighed and started spinning at a supersonic speed. The fire died almost eminently but there were pans, pots, and silverware all over the floor. He quickly cleaned up the mess and pulled the burned pizzas out of the oven.
"Now we're gonna starve," Don pouted.
"NO! No no no no no! You're eating! Were ALL eating!" Wally had not gone through all that just to give up. The food was happening. Wally pulled four boxes of cereal out of the cabinet and handed them to the kids.
"Cereal?" Jenni muttered.
"Yes cereal! We are all eating cereal and we are going to love it. Now were going back into the living room, finishing the movie, and NEVER telling anybody, especially Barry and Iris, that this ever happened,"
(..) (..)
"Oh you look so cute!" Iris gushed, trying to fix his hair for literally the hundredth time.
Wally wore a white t shirt under a long sleeved plaid shirt, a new pair of jeans and his new yellow tennis shoes. A large upgrade over his old clothes.
"Do I really have to go?"
"Yes. Your education is very important Wally," Barry said patting his back.
"Schools fun!" Dawn promised reaching for his hand.
"Pictures! I have to get pictures! Everybody get together..Say cheese!" Iris snapped pictures while the kids were thoroughly blinded by her flash.
"They have to go Iris," Barry laughed. Iris frowned and gave everyone a kiss on the forehead. "I love you guys! Have a good day! Be safe!" Dawn still held tightly to Wally's hand as they walked to school. They had become what she referred to as 'besties' since Wally saved her ball. All the lovey dovey physical contact was starting to wear him down. He hadn't had a lot of it in recent years.
"Okay soooooo the schools are all in one here. The grade school kids are in a separate building all together, but their on the same campus. Middle and high school are in the same building just different classes and lunch hours. But Ill see you in the hall! Maybe your locker will be by mine! That would be sooooo crash! Don't you think Wally! We coul-"
"Were here Bart," Jenni sighed, interrupting Bart's rambling.
Dawn, Don, and Jenni went towards the smaller building while Bart pulled Wally to the larger one. Walking through the front doors made Wally's stomach turn. Wally hated school. Bart led him to the front office where a middle aged woman with large glasses, beehive hair and a large mole sat behind her desk on a cell phone.
"Hi, Ms. Lue! My cousin Wally here needs his schedule," Bart chirped happily. Ms. Lue sighed, muttered "Bye, Peggy," into the phone and then hung up the phone before shooting Wally the glare of all glares.
"Your cousin?" She said with obvious distaste.
"Yup!"
"How many of you Allen kids are there? I don't know how many more I can take. Wally you said?" Ms. Lue started digging through files on her desk.
"Wallace West," Wally sighed, wishing he had something to hide his face in.
"Wallace?" Bart and Ms. Lue coursed.
"Yessss," Wally hissed in annoyance, he new it was bad they didn't have to remind him. Ms. Lue finally found Wally's class listing and handed it to him. "Here you go kid,"

"Why am I in twelfth grade math and science?" Wally asked.
"Your pre enrollment tests indicate that you're ready for upper level classes. There are several other kids in your position. Bart here has upper level classes," Bart smiled and nodded.
"Yeah well, thanks for the scedg. C'mon Bart well be late," Wally grabbed Bart's arm and pulled him into the main hallway as the first bell rang.
"I'll see you in PE!" Bart said walking the opposite direction. Wally sighed and started walking up and down the hall looking for his locker and when he finally found it he discovered a boy with blond hair, bright blue pants and a orange shirt asleep in front of it.
"Hey man..I need to get in there," Wally muttered, nudging the boy with his shoe. The boy cracked an eye open and moaned.
"Gimme a sec man," He yawned.
Wally noticed that the boy had some serious bags under his eyes. Must not sleep. Ever. The boy literally flipped to his feet and scratched the back of his head.
"You new here?" He asked opening the locker next to Wally's.
"Yeah. Wally West, by the way," The blond boy smiled widely.
"James Jesse," James said.
"So where you from?"
"Keystone but I dropped out. Only reason I'm here now is because my uncles makin me,"
"I feel you man. Its ether this or juvie. Juvie sucks worse,"
"You get in some trouble or something?" Wally asked in confusion.
James laughed but before he could answer Wally the warning bell rang. "You know where...speech is?"
"Hey that's my first hour too! C'mon Ill show you," Wally fallowed James to the room 34 and sat down next to him. Wally looked around uneasily as more and more kids filed into the room. At some point before the bell rang a boy who had long red hair and was probably in the year above Wally's sat down on James other side.
"What happened to you last night? You didn't go back home and I got scared and I thought you were dead but Len said you weren't but I still thought that!" James immediately snapped at the other boy.
"I am fine James. I just got taken to my parents house," The red head boy sighed.
"Speds," James said the word as though it was a bad one.
"Oh yeah, by the way, Hartley this is, Wally, my new friend. Wally, this is Hartley, my old friend," Wally smiled and nodded at the other boy. He wouldn't have called himself James friend considering the fact that they had had one conversation but he felt like if he told James that the blond boy would literally cry.
Hartley shot Wally a skeptical look. "Friend huh? We'll see."
(..) (..)
James was in his first three hours, his gym class, and thankfully his lunch.
"Are you really going to eat all of that?" James asked as he, Wally and Hartley sat at a table in the corner.
"I have a high metabolism," Wally shrugged.
"Do you see what I see?" Hartley nudged James with his elbow and dipped his head in the direction of Wally.
"I do!" James gasped, licking his hand and brushing it through his hair, "Not really your type though Pipe- Hartley,"
"Obviously! I just don't know why she would be coming over to our table,"
Wally turned around to see Jesse walking towards him.
"Hey Wally!" She said as she slipped onto the same bench as him.
"Mind if I sit?" She asked, shooting James and Hartley a very weary look.
"Not at all!" James said
Jesse smiled politely before nibbling on her sandwich.
"Are you going to eat all of that?" James asked, eying her plate.
"I have a high metabolism!"Jesse snapped defensively.
Jesse turned to Wally and started asking him all about his day, from teachers to student to the weather. Wally had to admit that setting with people his own age and discussing a thing as common as school gave him a sense of normality. The friends he had before were all either drug addicts or thieves that would rob you blind without a second thought, no matter how close you thought you were.
When the bell rang he was pleasantly surprised that Hartley was not only in his fourth hour, but willingly sat next to him in it as well. Jesse was in all his upper level classes and had abandoned her group of super attractive friends to sit by him despite the odd looks she gained from her peers.
Finally, finally, finally athletics, his very last class period of the day, rolled around.
Hartley was more band than sports oriented and Jesse was a girl so that just left James and Wally.
"I'm on the gymnastics team," James informed him, "I use to be an acrobat at a circus."
"Maybe I'll run track. I'm good at running."
Wally and James talked idly as they changed into there athletic clothes and made their way out of the locker room and into the main gym. As they emerged Wally looked for signs of Bart on the middle school locker room side. He finally spotted him leaned against the wall with his head down.
"Hey I need to talk to my cousin real fast okay?" James shrugged and started stretching his arms as Wally walked over to Bart.
Wally shoved Bart's arm playfully and the younger boy almost jumped out of his skin.
"Whoa, whats got into you?" Bart was just as bad as the rest of the Allen's with the hugging smothering thing.
"Nothing! Nope nothing wrong here at Bart Central, Its all crash! You just took me by surprise is all," Bart smiled widely and shoved Wally back lightly.
Wally wanted to ask more questions but the couch blew the whistle and demanded middle school be on one side and high school on the other. All they were doing was shooting baskets so Wally and James sat in the bleachers and talked. Well James talked while Wally eyed a blond middle school boy and his friends pelt Bart with basketballs.
"Who is that?" Wally asked.
James narrowed his eyes and sighed, "That's Thad. Hes a dick,"
"How could you tell?" Wally asked sarcastically.
"He wants to be in my club with me and my friends but Len says no and I'm glad," James brought up this 'club' a lot when Hartley (who was also in the club apparently) wasn't around to quiet him and Jesse wasn't around to shoot him nervous looks about it.
"Why not?"
"He just wants to hurt people and that's not what were about."
"Well he's hurting my cousin at the moment and that is going to end soon."
"Need any back up?" James asked as Wally climbed to his feet.
"Nah, he's like twelve. I got this,"
Wally walked over to the younger boys and taped the back of the kids head.
"Can I help you?" Thad snarled, turning around to find himself face to face with Wally's chest.
"Yeah you can lay the Hell off my cousin," Thad seemed to think about it before walking away, shooting Wally hostile glances ever so often.
"Thanks," Bart murmured as Wally helped him to his feet, "Really, thanks."
