Hey guys. Here's the next chapter. Peoples I am so tired. Sorry if this is sucky. Schools awful. *sticks out tongue* Also, to answer Random Fan: I don't think so. I only plan on staying in the same storyline for like sequels, prequels, and all that jazz. So, yeah. Here's your story.

A week. An actual week. Nobody's taken notice of my absence, and I was due back a week ago.

I told you. No one cares. My brain supplies. I sigh. I am still unable to move my legs due to my dad.

Flashback

As I woke up in a pool of my still dripping blood, the door at the top of the stairs bursted open.

"You!" my dad exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger toward me. "Where in the world is my fucking dinner?"

"I-I don't know," came my weak response.

"Oh! So you want to have an attitude with me, boy?"

"N-no. D-dad p-please," I begged. But he was gone.

I lay there, wondering what he was going to do to me. I shuddered at the scenarios my mind made up.

My dad returned, with a- oh god he's got a metal fucking bat.

He stumbled down the stairs toward me. I prepared for the worst. Then he rose his bat in the air, and brought it down on my legs. There was a sickening crack! and then pain. Unbearable pain. I screamed in agony. He repeated again. And again. And again. Until I passed out.

When I woke up, I looked at my legs. It was really dark, but even in the dark, I could see the blood pooling around them, and how my left leg was not supposed to bend that way.

You know, I always thought I'd go out sacrificing myself for the greater good, like getting shot to save someone special's life. Someone who wasn't worthless or useless. Or that I'd die taking out the bad guy. Surrounded by the ones I love. Not like this. Not taken down by my own dad. There is so much I still want to do. I want to be old enough to participate in the lottery. I want to have a family that deserves so much more than me but loves me anyway.

I get snapped out of my thoughts when the earth starts rumbling. It's rumbling hard, and soon enough, there's a bit of rubble falling on me from the ceiling. The earth starts rumbling even harder. Now there's actual chunks of the ceiling falling all around me. I pray that none will hit me. Though this is a better way to go out than what would've happened before, I still want a second chance.

God must think I'm unworthy of even that, because not two seconds later, a huge giant chunk falls and hits me.

Everything goes black.

Back at the Cave

"Hey, wasn't Kid Idiot supposed to be back already?" Artemis asked.

"Yeah, I thought he was only suspended for two weeks..." Conner added.

"Maybe he is upset with Batman?" Kaldur asked.

"Well, I say we should go give him a surprise visit," Robin said as he seemed to materialize out of midair.

"I agree," Megan said, "I'll make him some of my best cookies!"

An hour later they were all dressed in civvies and ready to go. They went through the zeta tubes and found themselves in Central. They headed straight for Barry Allen's house. They knocked on the door. Barry answered.

"Hey guys. What's up?"

"We wanted to surprise Wally with some cookies, since he hasn't been back to the cave yet," Megan replied.

"Wally hasn't been back to the cave?"

"Nope."

"I'll be right back," Barry said as he ran back into the house. He rummaged through his drawer until he found what he was looking for. His com link. He stuffed it in his ear.

"Kid Flash, come in," he said. "Kid?"

Wally always picked up his com. So Barry knew something was up. He ran back to the kids.

"Did any of you guys try his com link?" they all shook their heads no.

"Can we see him or what?" Conner asked. Barry shot him a confused look before it became one of understanding. They thought Wally was his kid. One could only wish.

"He doesn't live here. I know you are probably confused, but I promise I'll explain later. Robin, do you think you could pull up the location of his com?"

Robin got to work immediately. He saw the panic in Barry's eyes, the way his breath had hitched ever so slightly when they all had shaken their heads. He found it and read it out loud.

"It's in an alleyway in... Blue Valley, Nebraska. Right where a zeta tube happens to be."

"Okay, then. Come on," Barry said. Couldn't they see something was wrong?

When the team stepped through the zeta tube, they found a very distressed Flash.

"Okay, where's Wally? My wrist computer says he should be right there!" Robin exclaimed as he pointed towards- "Wally's com. I don't understand, he never takes the thing out his head."

Barry whipped his head over to the link. Then he got an idea.

"Hey, who was the last person to see him?" he asked.

"Batman," Artemis answered. "Right before he grounded him."

Barry put his hand up toward his com link. "Hey Bats?"

He cringed when a rusty, "What?" came through.

"What exactly did you say to Wally when you banished him from the cave?"

"I told him he was suspended from the cave for two weeks," Batman replied. "Why?"

"Well, he hasn't come back to the cave yet and I don't want to go barging into his house or anything so..."

"Man up, Barry. And don't call me unless it's an emergency." And with that he hung up.

Barry sighed. Typical Bats. He turned towards the kids. "Well, it looks like we're going to make a surprise visit to the West hou-" he was stopped as the ground started shaking violently.

Haha. Cliff hanger for you! Sucks right? But the good part is that I will be posting again next Tuesday. So goodbye.
