Wally should never be Bored

June 6th 2008

Booooriiing! Wally thinks as he lays down in a weird angle on the living room sofa as if he's trying to take up the whole 3-part sectional sofa by himself; as he absent-mindedly flicks through the different TV channels.

There is absolutely nothing good on! I mean seriously, let's see Golf, Telly-tubbies, Days of Our Lives, Spanish Soap Opera, The Today Show, Judge Judy… Why can't we have cable?

Wally is completely busy have a full blown inner rant that he is completely startled when he hears the doorbell which he reacts to by gracelessly flailing around until he falls off the sectional. Which is of course the moment the doorbell perpetrator walks right in. Aunt Iris who has had a key to her nephew's family home for as long as he remembers, who is failing horribly at hiding a giggle, which is yeah, a full blown laugh.

''Something funny?'' Wally grumbles

''Ahem…. Sorry Wally it's just your mom had wanted me to do a puff piece on the fundraiser your school is doing with the H2O project*…..(again failing to hide laughter, really it wasn't even that funny), and well my editor approve. I just wanted to deliver the good news in person. Is Mary home?''

''No, she and Dad are having a date night.''

Aunt Iris smiles and he knows she thinks it's sweet or something…..

''Ok well tell her….'' Whatever Aunt Iris is about to say is cut off by Can't Take My Eyes Off of You* incredibly cheesy also it's how Wally knows that it's Barry soon to be Uncle Barry. Surprisingly Wally has warmed up to the idea of an Uncle Barry, occasionally it slips out and Barry always beams when he does. Wally waves at Iris and as slow as he can which he doubts is anywhere near the definition of the word goes to his room. As soon as he gets there he grabs his laptop and opens up the bug he has on Iris's phone. Yeaaah….. Well a bored Wally thought that it was a good idea so….. In his defense they sent him school work during his recovery and super speed makes your thoughts really fast and well Wally's always been smart so, after he had more control he got through the homework in a breeze; and did so well that his parents negotiated that when he enters Highschool as a freshman he'll take AP classes. AND, maybe dual credit course but WILL NOT skip a grade his parents thought it was important he stay with his ''peers'' whatever that means. So boredom, bugging Aunt Iris' phone and eavesdropping via bug.

''Iris.''

''Barry, is something wrong.''

''... Kind of.''

''What happened?''

''Grodd's planning something in Bludhaven and…..''

''...And you need to go.''

''Yeah, I'm sorry I know we planned to make some final decisions on the weddingandit'scominguprealsoonand….''

''Barry! Calm down you're talking too fast…''

''Sorry.''

''*Sighs* you have no reason to be sorry did you think I married you under the impression that Barry Allen and the Flash aren't the same person. I love you and who you are is Barry Allen the adorable geeky kind-hearted CSI and the optimistic man who runs out in red spandex….''

''Iris! I told you it's a special polymer…. Are you laughing?''

''No…*laughing.*''

''Love you''

''Love you too, come back safe.''

''I'll let you know as soon as I'm back.''

Huh….. something not boring.

Wally has a name and a place he can work with that.

Grodd, big gorilla, major scary telepath and one of Barry's main enemies.

Bludhaven, sister city to Gotham and scattered with criminals.

Barry totally needs his help.

It really wasn't that hard to convince STAR Labs he needed a special modified fabricated suit (not spandex!) just like the Flash to train in for recovery purposes, of course.

It's all white and doesn't have a cowl or a mask Wally makes do with a similarly plain white masquerade mask.

All he needs is a compass and a map, Bludhaven is not that far for a speedster even if for whatever reason Wally is a bit slower than Barry.

Ok…. So Wally has learned something new about himself.

He sucks at Geography like a lot. He either runs past Bludhaven by a couple of towns or somehow winds up closer to Central like he goes in some weird messed up circle.

When he finally arrives to Bludhaven, it is to see the Flash and Batman fighting Grodd and it doesn't look like it's going so well with all the mind-controlled civilians getting in the way.

And then there's a creepy cackle of laughter like horror-film creepy(and not the crappy kind either more like the kind that makes you feel kind of paranoid horror-film creepy) and a quick flash of black, red and yellow and there's a creepy kid cackling in front of him. Creepy kid looks familiar, Creepy kid is Robin, Batman's sidekick?

''You're Robin.''

Robin cocks his head to the side not like a puppy but more like an old barn owl and says almost gleefully ''And you must be….the Mach 5*.''

''What?''

Wally thinks he hears him grumble that the old shows A likes are making him lose his cred.

''I'm… a friend of the Flash.''

''Yeah, I got that with the whole *swoosh* and suit obviously designed by STAR labs. The question is why are you here?''

''I have as much right to be here as you do.''

Robin cackles again ''Yeah you're right about that Kid because I'm not suppose to be here.''

''Why not? Aren't you his sidekick?''

Robin's cackles stop ''Friend, Partner not sidekick.'' a look of disgust on his face mixed with pure defiance.

Wally nods like he gets it at this point in time he doesn't but soon he will.

''Grodd is dangerous, B thought maybe he was too dangerous. And if he doesn't want me here neither would the Flash want you here.''

''And we're just going to do as we're told.''

''Maybe… If they were getting creamed.''

Wally grins. ''So what are we going to do?''

Robin cackles and disappears, reappearing every once in a while so Wally can follow.

They make it to a car not any car but the car.

The batmobile.

Robin goes inside and takes out two…. Batman cowls.

Robin smirks ''Batman masks are special they keep out pesky telepaths. Which will be useful for when we knock out the civilians with these, they're knock-out pellets.'' Robin says gesturing to a small pouch intended for Wally.

''Awesome''

Robin grins

This is a lot harder than Wally thought as he dodges angry civilians keeps a lid on his speed because he needs to be fast but not too fast and remembering to use the pellets. Plus, the stupid mask, cowl thing does NOT in anyway possible fit him and keeps moving around on his head all stupid blocking his eyes and now that he has a secret identity it's kind of important. Even with the white mask on underneath because the stupid white mask has ridiculous small eye-slits.

But somehow Robin and Wally manage.

The civilians get harmlessly knocked out and The Flash and Batman stop Grodd from releasing some kind of deadly toxin (because is there any other kind.)

Wally is then lectured by Barry, meets (is interrogated by) the Batman(who tells Barry to keep an eye on his Kid) and is now friends with Robin they're totally playing together on WoW

He feels the Professor probe if this was the Telepath he was talking about. Wally mentally snorts, no that's not Megalicious, besides you need to meet Roy, Kaldur and Conner first. It's all about the chronological order.

Omake/Short/Cut out scene

It's just between all the training and recovery which Barry was an integral part of the whole thing. Well, Wally realized that not only was Barry a decent guy but he and Wally liked similar stuff. Like, Science and ridiculous puns and Star Trek and it was nice. Wally has always been close with his Dad but his Dad was football, baseball, camping, fishing, tell-it-to-me-straight, and have faith. Wally was not, Wally was numbers, strategic angles, and mathematics, theories, hypothesis, cause and effect, analysis, and cold hard facts, Wally didn't do leaps of faith. Barry, was an even mix, he understand variables, equations, analysis, but understood having faith in the impossible and holding onto hope during the impossible.

It was something he told Wally once, To have faith in the impossible is to understand that what is possible was once IMpossible and that impossible means not yet. Likewise to have hope during the impossible is like…. To have hope is to have life, as long as there is hope there is life as long as there is life there is hope.

Those kind of things were foreign to Wally he kind of understood them but…. Faith and Hope were these strange abstract thoughts.

* H2O project is a thing basically you and maybe a large group of friends/community/church/school give up anything that's not water for two weeks whatever money you would normally use on soda/lemonade/milshakes etc. you donate to the H2O project to build wells for people who have no access to water.

*I love 10 things I hate about you :)

*Mach 5 is Speed Racer's car

So I don't know when I will next update but this update was made with encouragement from all the new follows and favorites and reviews I got for this story and riptidedarkphoniex's update on their story because I want to read it but I'm stop myself because I need to write my story before I become stuck in someone else's (happens all the time, but books, and fics guys :) Ooo… Also as for the memories I have about 4 maybe 5 more planned it kind of depends. Basically I'm trying to get this story caught of to it's companion piece. So if you are waiting for Of Sirens, Kitty-Kats and Creepy Crawlers to update well… Wally learned he sucks at Geography, I learned I suck at writing two stories at once.
