This Chapter: There is a reason why Wally doesn't tell his anyone about his dates, reason number one: The Founders of the Justice League.


Building A Family

When it came to dating Wally's adopted family was surprisingly laid back about it, teasing, giving advice, etc, but when the three month marker hit it was like a switch came on and they became the family from Hell. That's why Wally never tells them about his dates anymore, which is kind of useless when you have an over protective gloomy Bat as a father figure.

Lizzy

Wally meet Lizzy on one of his rare days off, he was at his favorite diner when a young blond woman with blue eyes came up to him and nervously asked him his name though not before glaring over her shoulder at a group of giggling women not far from them.

"Wally" he had said and that was it.

At least that's what the Speedster told Shayera and Diana when they asked about her, before clamming up when they started wheedling for more information.

It had had been three months.

And from what Bruce had told them, Wally was still dating Lizzy and it seems to be growing strong, and that was their cue.

"Ms. Gordon?"

Lizzy stared at the two women who blocked her path, they both wore trench coats and sunglasses and where smiling at her.

"Yes?" she said a bit nervously.

"We're friends of Wally" said the red-head, "and we were wondering if we could have a minute of your time and talk"

The smile got bigger and Lizzy had a feeling that saying no would be a very bad idea.

"Uh, sure" Lizzy said.

Lizzy jumped when an arm wrapped around hers and started to pull her away, suddenly she felt like she was going to her doom.

Some minutes later they were in a diner, Lizzy was sitting across from the two mysterious women in a nearly deserted diner.

"So uh what did you want to talk about?" Lizzy asked fidgeting with her napkin, "and not to be rude, but are you really Wally's friends?"

The two women gave twin smiles, it remained the girl of a predator catching sight of prey, it also didn't help that the two women didn't take off their glasses.

"Actually we're not his friends, we're his older sisters I'm Diana, and this is Shay"

"Oh!" Lizzy said surprised and a bit happy.

Wally always talked about his family, his Aunt, Jay and Joan, adopted father, older brothers and sisters. Lizzy would watched amazed at the love and adoration that would appear in the man's eyes every time he talked about them, such looks made her want to meet them , to meet the people who could make such emotions appear in her boyfriend like that.

Now was her chance.

"I've heard so much about you!" Lizzy said excitedly, fear forgotten.

"All good I hope" Diana said with a teasing smile.

Lizzy nodded.

"We've also heard a lot about you" Shay said, "Wally is practically smitten with you"

Lizzy blushed.

A waitress came to take their order , once she left Shay decided to get down to business.

"I'm going to be blunt with you Ms. Gordon" she said, "we're not here for pleasure"

"Um okay?"

"We want to know how serious you are about our little brother" Diana said.

"I think I'm pretty serious" Lizzy answered.

"You 'think'?" Shay scoffed, getting a sigh from Diana.

Suddenly Lizzy felt nervous again, and she couldn't even touch her food when came.

"I'm sure you've noticed Wally's hectic schedule, and I'm pretty sure there have been dates ether canceled or a plain no show" Diana said , eyes behind the sunglasses she have yet to remove softening.

Lizzy slowly nodded.

"And well we're concerned. It's obvious Wally is getting serious about you, and we want to make sure you are too. We want to know if you can handle being in a real relationship with Wally because that schedule is not going to stop anytime soon, trust me"

Lizzy frowned, "I—"

"Can you honestly sit there and tell us that you don't mind the canceled dates?" Shay interrupted, "the no shows? The feeling of doubt that occasionally rear up? If you can tell us right here and now that you don't mind all that then we'll leave"

Lizzy didn't, couldn't, because to be honest she was starting to feel annoyed and neglected. Yes, Wally had told her at the beginning that his job was very demanding of him and that the people he dated often got frustrated or tired of always being second best that they broke the relationship off. Lizzy thought she wouldn't be one of them but after three months of the same thing, the blonde thought that maybe she was in fact one of those people, but the worst part of it all was the feeling that Wally was hiding something from her.

"Think about it" Diana said, before the both of them stood up.

"Lunch is on us" Shay said.

A month later Wally was single again.

Mark

Going through with what happen with his father, you would think Wally had a fear of men, afraid to be in any type of relationship with them whether it was platonic or not.

He wasn't.

The fact was, Wally was okay with other men in anyway. The love of his Uncle and the rest of his male family and friends out did whatever issues he may have had because of his father (even the rape that had happened all those months ago was slowly was becoming nothing more than a bad dream. Though to be fair Wally had been dealing with rape at such a young age that his dealing with it was no doubt different than others), which probably explained Mark.

Mark was you're average American, no criminal record according to Bats, a good job and easy going personality, he seemed perfect for Wally.

So when the three month deadline came, so did John and Clark.

"'Wally" Mark whispered as he came beside the red-head who was stirring a boiling pot.

"Why are you whispering?" Wally whispered back amused.

"Because I don't want them to hear" Mark answered tilting his head to the two men on the sofa watching TV.

It took all of Wally's strength not to laugh at the statement, "Hear what?" he instead asked.

Mark glance nervously at the men, before looking back at his boyfriend, "You're brother John, keeps staring at me"

Wally snorted, "Don't worry about Johnny-boy, it's a Marine thing"

"And you're other brother Clark, keeps smiling "

"I'm pretty sure when someone smiles at you that means they like you"

"Those are not 'I like you' smiles, Wally I think you're brothers are going to kill me!"

Wally rolled his eyes at how dramatic his boyfriend was being, knowing full well that John and Clark were doing it on purpose, they weren't exactly subtle about it with John dressed in his camouflage uniform and Clark dressed in the tightest shirt known to man to show off his muscles and size.

"They're not going to kill you" Wally reassured, "they're just being overprotective"

"John had started cleaning his knife when you went to the store earlier" Mark said dryly, "and when you went to the bathroom, Clark lifted the sofa with me and John in it with one hand!"

Considering that Clark could lift spaceships, Wally felt that was pretty tamed.

"Like I said, overprotective, now go sit back down, dinner is almost done"

Mark made a whining sound in the back of his throat before slowly going back to the sofa, the moment he sat down, Clark smiled at the man, while John moved closer and started telling the man about one of his mission in very graphic details.

Wally made a mental note to talk to the two.

Safe to say Mark didn't last very long.

Lauran

Lauran was a bomb-shell of a girl, flowing chocolate brown hair, piercing grey eyes, all legs and curves.

Shayera and Diana hated her.

For one thing she babied Wally, treated him as though he was a child instead of a man, both could tell that Wally didn't like it. Yes, occasionally the Founders babied him but only when they felt that he needed it, needed a gentle loving hand instead of a firm loving one.

Lauran did it all the time.

Not only that, but she was nice, nice and bubbly.

"She makes me want to take my mace to her face" Shayera snarled as she paced the Batcave floor.

"We're not allowed to hurt civilians" Clark pointed out from where he was standing next to Batman watching the large computer screen.

"Only if you can't get away with it" Batman commented never taking his eyes off the screen.

Shayera grinned.

"Wally won't like that" Clark then said, ignoring the previous comment, "he's still a little mad at me and John with Mark"

"Not my fault you two can't be subtle"

"So the meeting you had with Lizzy that involved sunglasses, trench coats and a nearly empty diner is subtle?"

"It's an art form"

"Both of you knock it off" Batman said, "and leave Wally's date alone"

Some days later Diana came storming into the Batcave.

"I need your help in making someone disappear" the Princess said.

"Lauran" Batman stated looking up from the sample he was studying.

"I just had lunch with her and Wally, an hour, a whole hour was spent with me watching that woman degrade Wally! To make matters worse when we're alone and I try to give a suggestion on how she treats him she insults me!"

"Hmm" Batman said having gone back to studying the sample.

"I can't make her disappear can I?" Diana then asked after she had finished her rant.

"No"

"…..It's killing you not to do anything isn't it?"

"Yes"

It was a couple of days after the three month deadline when Dick came into Bruce's home office.

"Something needs to be done about that Lauran woman"

Bruce sighed, after the incident with Mark (Bruce was still trying to find out how Wally didn't know that Shayera and Diana had spoken with Lizzy), Bruce decided he would resist the urge to look up all of Wally's dates and let the Speedster handle them on his own.

Eighteen days and counting.

"Dick—"

"Wally thinks she's stealing money from him"

Bruce paused.

"Also he never really liked her, he had only said yes to a date for a friend and now can't find the right words to get rid of her, my words not his."

Bruce nodded, not at all surprise, after all Wally adored women, not in a sexual way, but in a way that he wanted to care for them, make them smile and never see them hurt. This was probably why he couldn't dump Lauran despite the fact that she maybe stealing money from him.

"I'll look into it, keep an eye on her"

Dick nodded.

"Also make sure Shayera and Diana don't find out about this just yet"

Dick grinned.

As it turns out, Lauran was really stealing money from Wally, and while many would say appearing on a balcony in the middle of the night with a mace and lasso scaring the crap out of owner of said balcony was a little too much.

Shayera and Diana just called it an art form.

Leo

To be honest them not finding out about Leo until the last minute wasn't that much of a surprise really, after the Lauran incident the Founders were a lot more aggressive than before, Wally didn't mind for a while, stuck in a depressed slump from the betrayal, but as time went on Wally healed and was more than ready to start dating again (well Wally rarely actively looked for a date but his harmless flirting more often than not gained him a date). The Speedster knew that his adopted family would give whoever he asked out a hard time, probably wouldn't even wait for the three month deadline, so he suppose he had to be careful.

So Leo.

Leo was a good-looking guy, with black hair, dark eyes and a charming smile, he was also really aggressive. Not his usual type, but Wally always did like to spice things up a bit.

"Come on"

This spice though, might be the wrong one.

"Leo" Wally sighed, frowning when arms wrapped around his waist and pulled him closer to the muscular body.

"It's been weeks of nothing but heavy kissing"

"You gave me a hickey yesterday"

"Yeah, but that's all. Wally, blue balls is not fun" Leo pouted.

Wally rolled his eyes, this conversation was quickly becoming old and annoying, he told Leo at the beginning that he wasn't really ready for sex ( he liked the simple touches that was more intimate then sex if he was being honest), the man had agreed to taking it slow. Now Wally had a feeling that the man didn't take it seriously.

"Well I'm sorry about you're balls" Wally huffed removing the arms from his waist, only for them to reattach themselves.

"Then why not make them better?" Leo purred, tightening his hold.

"Leo, let me go" Wally said, voice hard even if his heart was hammering in his chest.

"Can't we just—"

"No"

"Come on—"

"I said no, now let me go!"

"Damn it—"

"Wally"

The two men stopped froze and turned to the doorway.

"J'onzz?"

The disguised Martian's eyes trailed down, eyes lingering on the arms wrapped tightly before trailing back up.

"Let him go" the Martian then said, voice toneless.

"Who the hell are you? And how the did you get in here?" Leo demanded.

"The door was unlocked" J'onzz answered.

No it wasn't.

"J'onzz" Wally said.

"You know him?" Leo asked.

"Let him go" J'onzz said again.

"He's my brother" Wally answered.

"A little old to be your brother" Leo said suspiciously.

"Adopted"

"Right"

Leo didn't sound convinced and what he said next confirmed it, "Is he the reason you won't put out?"

"What? No! Now let me go!"

Before Leo could do anything J'onzz was between them and his eyes nearly glowing.

"I suggest you leave" he said.

Leo shivered at the growl that rumbled from the other's chest.

"Now"

Leo ran out the room, not even taking his shoes with him, J'onzz watched the opened door for a moment closing it telepathy before turning his attention to a now shaking Wally.

"Did he hurt you?" J'onzz asked as he gently led the young man to sit on the sofa.

"No" Wally said with a weak smile, "just being pushy".

J'onzz was tempted to ask how pushy, but didn't, though something must have showed on his face because Wally quickly reassured him that his virtue was safe.

"I think I'll stay the night" J'onzz said.

"Fine" Wally sighed not even putting up a fact, and to be honest he didn't want to be alone tonight.

Later that night, neighbors in an apartment five blocks away were awaken by one Leo Marvell, when asked what his dream was about all the man will be able to remember was green skin, teeth and glowing eyes.

Jasper

With Jasper, Wally had broken it off; Jasper it seems was not ready for that. The only reason none of them had noticed was because the criminals all decided to a crime spree at the same time, but now that everything was calm Batman finally noticed certain things and he wasn't happy.

It was time to put a plan into action.

The plan in question started on a quiet afternoon, Jasper was following Wally at a distance, he was just passing an alley when a hand shots out, grabs the man's collar and pulled him in.

"Wha—"

"Shut up!" the assailant growled just as a black tinted car pulled up, "come on"

Jasper struggled as he was dragged and thrown into the car, he grunted when he landed hard on the floor, it was only when he felt the car move that he looked up.

The tinted windows and dimmed lights made it hard to see the man sitting in front of him, face hidden by shadows.

"What—"

Jasper yelped when he was pulled up by the back of his shirt and thrown onto the seat,

"Mr. Regal, let's talk" the man said.

Jasper glanced nervously around him taking note of two more men in the car, one no doubt his assailant before turning his attention back to the man that had addressed him.

"Who are you?" Jasper asked.

"Someone you had the misfortune of pissing off" the man said grinning, rows of white teeth showing.

Jasper gulped.

"That man you were following earlier, he's mine, and I don't take too kindly to little rats sniffing around him"

"I—"

"He didn't say you could speak" growled his assailant, giving the man a hard kick in the leg.

"I'm only going to say this once. Stay. Away. From. Him. I don't want to see, hear or even smell you within his range and trust me " here the man pauses and leans forward until he's nearly face to face with Jasper "I will know if you have"

"And that's we're we come in…if you're lucky" snickered the assailant.

"Do we have an understanding?" the man asks, the tone in his voice telling that he expected nothing less than a yes.

Jasper did not disappoint, rapidly he nodded his head.

"Good, but before you go a, remainder"

The third shadowy man grabbed hold of Jasper's arm, and the crack that echoed rivaled the screaming that came after.

"I'm glad we had this talk, now get out".

The car door opened and Jasper practically stumbled out to get away, it's only as he's watching the car drive away, clenching his throbbing arm did he noticed he was four blocks away from where he originally was.

Back in the car, the lights slowly became brighter and a window rolled down.

"I do say that young man got off rather light"

"I agree with you Alfred" Dick said stretching.

"You should have let me break more than just his arm" Conner huffed.

"And have Clark nag me more then he already does?" Bruce said.

"Not to mention Shayera will be pissed that you didn't let her join in"

Bruce winced at the thought of the angry woman, before pushing it aside, "Alfred, let's go pick up Wally for lunch" he said.

"Of course Master Bruce".


There is a reason why Wally doesn't tell his anyone about his dates, reason number one: The Founders of the Justice League.

When it comes to his dates, they can be over-protective and just down right cruel, but they mean well and want nothing but the best for him.

And Wally is okay with that.

"Hi, Wally it's Linda, um I just met some really weird people today who said they know you, there was something about a mace, knives, glowing eyes…. and I think one of them was a mob Boss or something. Give me a call back when you get this."

Sometimes.
