Two Victims
"Sir, please end this, now" A woman in a yellow vest glanced at the kid nervously. He felt like he was going to get kicked out of every single place at this point. "Me? tell him that! He is the one wh... oh hell no"
Things start to be taken too far
He smacked the balloon out of his face in annoyance. He made a mistake asking Dick a favor. And he knew he did too as he stared at the kid who was watching the streets blankly.
Dick's eyes widened as he remembered earlier. How could I forget? Dick looked up at Wally in panic. "We have to go back now!" The redhead widened his eyes in realization. "Oh, right." He said as he looked around. "Wait here while I go change back into costume." He started to run when he felt a sharp pain in his legs. Wally stopped and stiffened. He couldn't run right now? As soon as he was still the pain went away. This never happened before. This has to be normal for Barry, maybe it was just a speedster con. How was he going to break it to Dick? He turned around at the confused hero and sighed.
As soon as Wally told him, Dick of course paniced. But after a little, He somehow got convinced that maybe Wally needed something to eat, and now they were both at a hotdog stand. They both fidgeted in their spots for having to stand there for a little while. Robin was watching on his tip toes, getting bored he went flat on his feet and looked around. How long are they going to wait for again? He looked down at the sticky masks in his hand, which he had been holding since they got there, and slid it in Wally's pocket, who just simply glanced down. The speedster was zoning out so much he didn't notice Dick slowly walking away, or the laugh that followed afterwords. Maybe he should have thought about the "Might as well put my age to use" at the moment.
"Thanks." he paid for the hotdogs, His already gone when he turned around to where Dick was. "Here D- wait what the-" He circled around until he saw the small tree, his eyes traveling up until he saw Dick sitting on a branch. He looked up and sighed as he walked over cursing. "Get down! Now!" He pointed at him then the floor. The child stopped looking at the branch and stared at Wally acting like he just noticed him. "Why?" He askd as he laid on his stomach. To Wally's horror people started to watch in disapproval.
"Sir, please end this, now" A woman in a yellow vest glanced at the kid nervously. He felt like he was going to get kicked out of every single place at this point. "Me? tell him that! He is the one wh... oh hell no"
He trailed off as he saw a lot of women crowded around the tree with concerned expressions. "I- I will take care of it Ma'am!' He said as he walked backwards.
"I don't know... I was trying to get my balloon but I got stuck." The kid said sadly. The moment he walked over he was hit with automatic glares. "You should be ashamed! Putting a child in danger!" He squinted his eyes and crossed his arms.
"Actually, he was the one to climb that. I had nothing to do with this."
"While you were supposedly busy?" Another voice joined in.
Dick sat up straighter as he watched the scene below him. Lowering his head when people started to try and make him come down in gentle voices. He felt bad for the speedster as he watched several people arguing with him at once.
"You should think about the responsibilities before deciding to have a child!" Wally whipped his head around to the lady who returned his glare back at him. "What? He isn't my kid!" All of the woman practically exploded at his statement. He felt like he was shrinking as they all yelled at him. "Woman. The reason why I can't see my kids anymore." He heard a mumble next to him. Wally's eyes widened at the guy next to him and he moved closer to the tree. Sighing, he looked at Dick.
"Come on. I will catch you." He said in monotone between grit teeth as he held his arms out. The crowd silenced as they heard shifting in the tree. The attention shifted to Dick, who landed in his arms and smiled. He quickly frowned. "Sorry brother, I should have listened when you said to be more careful.." Dick said as wally put him down. Everyone's stares softened at the two, and people started to leave. "If you ever need help raising him, I can. I have a set of triplets, I know what it's like." A woman offered in a gentle voice.
"WHAT!?" The teen's voice cracked. Dick cringed as Wally broke the moment. "Again, not my kid! And weren't you just yell-"
"Icecream! Icecream!" Dick said as he pulled wally away to a random distance. They slowed down once out of sight from the park. Dick turned around and looked at him concerned when he noticed his hard breathing. He was about to apologize, but he heard a small laugh. "Well played, Younger brother, But I am not Linguini the chef."
He didn't know what to say, but he processed what he said and smiled. "You sure look and seem like him." Wally rolled his eyes as he kneeled down next to him. "Then that makes you the rat. But that doesn't mean I can shame you publicly too."
"Shaming a 7 year-old?" Dick said as he crossed his arms. "Everyone know kids are innocent and clue-less. So nobody will yell at me"
"I bet I can prove you wrong." Wally simply said as he looked across the street.
Hey, Hope it wasn't difficult to read this. I am a sloth so bear with me. They seem out of character because Wally is being driven crazy by Dick. I never really thought about doing this part until I remembered how I used to act to my sister, and found the memories funny. I don't plan on having them at Ny long, like only a chapter more. After that Wally won't be a main character as much. Hopefully this won't turn boring. I will take suggestions if that does happen though.
