This chapter: There is a reason why Wally doesn't take John anywhere.
Building A Family
Wally had a love hate relationships with night clubs.
He hated that it was so full of people, that everything was so closed in that it made it hard to move about, to breathe. People who were drunk (and possibly high) and lost all sense of personal space, people, both men and women, who would move in close, touching him when he didn't want them to.
Yet he loved the feeling of adrenaline that rushes through him at the sound the music, the fast tempo remaining him of the thrill when he got that extra burst of speed he would sometimes get when fighting the bad guy of the week. He loves the freedom that comes from either dancing or watching others dance, and how he could forget all of his worries.
It those reasons that have him dragging John with him to the night club, one night.
His friend had been increasingly distracted of late, and the Speedster knew it had to do with Shayera and Vixen, so to take his mind off the two women, and remembering the freedom that he would always feel, Wally thought that maybe it would help his friend.
John, of course had been reluctant, but after a lot of begging (and maybe some pouting), they were here. After entering, John winced at the loud music before the two got drinks and settled in a booth. Wally didn't even attempt to try and get the man to dance, just contented himself with his drink (not Vodka!), after awhile John relaxed beside him, and even became a bit playful after a few rounds. It didn't stop him from moving closer to Wally and glaring at anyone who seem like they were coming to ask the Speedster to dance or talk to though, Wally was more amused than annoyed.
When John got up to get another round, Wally was suddenly pounced on.
"Joseph!" Wally smiled brightly at the sight of his co-worker.
His co-worker grinned, "Never thought I'd see you here" Joseph then said as he slide into the booth, voice loud over the booming music.
"I come here sometimes" Wally answered.
The two talk for a while, mostly about work and their other co-workers, briefly Wally wondered where John was with their drinks, his thoughts were interrupted by a poke to his ribs, gaining a (manly) squeal.
With a mischievous grin Joseph poked him again and soon the two were wrestling (which Wally will later blame the alcohol), and just so happen that John returned with their drinks as soon as Joseph had the red-head pinned on his back and him on top.
The look the GreenLightern sent Joseph would have made Batman so proud.
"Uh….."
With surprising claim, John say down their drinks on the table, before grabbing Joseph by his shirt off of Wally, the Speedster then watched the two disappear into the crowd of dancing bodies. Twenty minutes later John returned with no Joseph in sight.
When Monday morning came, Wally noticed Joseph avoiding him, was a bit shifty eyed, and whispering to other co-workers. Soon said co-workers that usually talked (and flirted a little) with him were avoiding him, whispering about how Joseph barely escaped the jaws of Wally's new "boyfriend"
With a growl Wally decided that one, he was never taking John to the club again, and two, he was going to kill the man.
Next Time: Okay so jumping off a tower was not the smartest thing he's ever done (and that's saying something) but at least he's alive, though judging from the way Diana's looking at him, it won't be for long.
Review Please!
