AT LIGHT SPEED LOVE COMES AND PLANTS ITS SEED
CHAPTER 2
: The next day at the Jump's Daily:
So, here he was; his new job in a new city… Ok so not exactly a 'new city', he had been here before visiting his cousins once or twice every couple of months. But he was going to live here all on his own… Ok so no, he was living with Roy; but it was just for a couple of weeks, really!
Anyway, he was walking now to his desk so he could organize his things before going with his boss to be assigned to his first job.
After about a minute or two of walking between some people he finally found his new desk, it was big enough for him to arrange all of his things neatly; he started to do so immediately.
"Hey there buddy." Someone called from behind him "New here?"
Wally looked up from his box and saw a man around his age with green eyes and blonde curly hair looking back at him, this guy looked friendly enough with that smile on his face.
"Yep, my first day in here." Wally answered with a smile of his own as he held out his hand for the man to shake "Name's Wally West."
"Wally as in Wallace or as in Walter?" Asked the blonde boy with an eyebrow quirked pretending to be curious but, obviously, he was trying not to smirk. Wally didn't like this and glared back at him as his hand hung at his side again.
"Just Wally."
"Ok, ok." The other boy said holding his hands up in defense "Sorry, my name's Joseph Wilson but you can call me Joe."
"How about Joey?" Wally asked with a smirk, now it was Joe's turn to glare but kept his hand outstretched for the red haired man to shake.
"Do it and die." The words were said with such coldness that Wally almost took a step backwards but then Joe smiled again "I prefer Joe."
"Ok then, Joe it will be." Wally finally shook his hand "So… this is a big place."
"Huge, yes." Joe said looking around like Wally was doing "My dad put in a lot of money for this."
"Your dad?" Wally looked at Joe surprised and curious.
"Slade Wilson, I thought you would know." Joe looked at Wally and almost laughed at the expression he was wearing.
"I… is… you… but…" Wally stuttered before composing himself and organizing his words "Wilson is a popular last name and I never thought you could really be his son!"
"Well, now you know that I am his son." Joe answered "But why does it surprise you so much?"
"Oh I don't know." Wally said sarcastically "Maybe because he's the richest person in Jump City and it is almost unbelievable that his own son would be wandering in this place?"
"Unbelievable?"
"Yeah, I mean, I thought you would be with him in his office learning how to take his place when the time arrives or having fun with all of your money or out attending some of his other enterprises around the world…"
"Actually-" Joe started but Wally continued to speak.
"Anyway, tell me; how's my boss, 'cause when I was sent here they didn't give me any kind of information about him… or is it her, is she hot?"
"It's not a she-"
"Really? Ok then, I guess he must be one of those jerks that just give you a lot of work without any kind of bonus or vacations." Wally crossed his arms over his chest and looked away.
"Well-"
"Oh, and not just that." Wally cut Joe off again "I bet he's the biggest perv in the whole world and likes to see all these girls in their super-short skirts and calls them all the time to his office so he can ogle them all he wants."
"Wally-"
"Now I'll be trapped with him for I don't know how long, just great." Wally sighed and looked back at the blonde man "What's his name anyways?"
"Joseph Wilson."
If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't find his voice Wally would have yelled curses that every single creature in the galaxy would have heard, the fact that his mouth was wide open would have helped with it. After about ten seconds of supporting his boss' glare he laughed sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck as he felt his whole face go red with embarrasement.
"Heh, heh… how's it going boss?"

: At Jump City Wayne Enterprises:
"Yes, everything is fine… Yeah the manor is ok… I started to work right away so the work doesn't pile up… Yes dad I'll be sure to talk to him soon, my secretary is arranging an appointment with him to see what can be done… Annoying but she knows how to do her job…Maybe I will but in the meantime she'll stay… Ok…Ok… I'll call you when things are ready… Love you too… Bye… Bye." Richard hung up the phone and sighed, he had just called his father to tell him that he had already started to work and he had settled into his manor since he had arrived.
There was a lot of work to do, but still he knew how to do it and he would be finishing soon enough; besides he needed to see Slade Wilson to discuss some business between both companies, it was going to be a long day.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in!" Richard called as he checked some papers on his desk.
"Mr. Grayson!" Half of the papers Rich was holding were thrown in the air in surprise, the voice of his secretary was something that could scare anyone.
"Ahem, Miss Moth; is there a problem?"
His secretary went by the name of Katherine Moth; she had blonde hair that reached her shoulder blades and big blue eyes. Her voice, as I said, was horribly high pitched and the fact that she spoke in a tone which resembled a scream didn't help it a bit. Finally, her attitude was of one of those preps you could always find in the High Schools; pink clothes and everything… to put it simply: She was a living Barbie doll.
"Not at all." Kat answered "But I just talked to Mr. Wilson."
"Really?" Asked Richard as he picked up the last paper "What did he say?"
"He said he could come by tomorrow at ten a.m. sharp." Kat answered looking at her notes in hand "And I also have news about today's work."
"What else is there to do besides the pounds of documents I have to read and sign?" Rich asked exasperated.
"You have an interview in an hour, you need to call that new company that is about to open, the new immersionists are coming by at two p.m., you have a dinner meeting at four p.m. with the head of Wonder enterprises and you need to interview the people that have come looking for a job as the new security guard, some of them are already out here waiting."
"Some as in how many?" Richard knew he was going to die before he could even take Robin to the vet that afternoon.
"Five, there are sixteen more to come yet." Kat answered with a smile, but Richard was trying to keep from groaning.
"This is not my day." Richard had his face hidden behind his hands with his eyes closed, but they opened immediately when he felt someone massaging his shoulders.
"Poor Mr. Grayson, you're under too much pressure." Kat said in a rather seductive voice, it still sounded high pitched but it wasn't as annoying as it usually was. Richard had to admit it did feel good but he couldn't relax, he had a lot of things to do.
"Thanks Miss Moth, but I still have a lot of work to do." Richard said standing up "I'll be seeing the guards in ten minutes, I'll call you when you can let the first one come in."
"Sure Mr. Grayson, I'll be going now." Kat started to walk towards the door and Richard sat in his chair once again "Oh, and Mr. Grayson…" Rich looked up at his secretary who gave him an enticing smile "If you need anything just call me."
With that she was gone.
Richard stared at the door for a couple of seconds and then…
Thump!
Thump!

"Why are you banging your head against the desk?"
"To see how much it can take."
"The desk?"
"No, my head."
"Ah, you talked bad about the boss to his face."
"Yeah, how do you know?"
"You're not the first one to do it, nor will you be the last, and the ones that have already done it did exactly the same thing as you."
"That makes me feel a lot better." Wally said sarcastically with his forehead against the desk.
"Hey, you can't blame me for trying."
Wally looked up, finally, wanting to know who the voice belonged to. The owner was an Asian-American girl with long black hair tied in two low ponytails on each side of her head and dark green eyes.
"I'm not. Who are you?"
"Jade Nguyen, it's a pleasure to meet you." Jade answered offering her hand for the red haired man to shake.
"Wally West, the pleasure is all mine." Wally said accepting her offered hand.
"So you're the new guy from Gotham City, what brings you here?"
"My car?" Jade chuckled and asked again.
"Why did you decide to come and work here in Jump?"
"My boss sent me here saying here was a better place to work and here I would get paid better." Wally answered with a shrug.
"Well, I don't know about the money, but I think this is a better place to live than Gotham… no offense." Jade added quickly.
"None taken; Gotham was way creepier than what Jump is." They stayed in silence for a moment before Jade spoke again.
"So… did Joe give you your first assignment yet?"
"Nope." Wally shook his head "He said tomorrow he'll give it to me, today I'm just here to get used to this place."
"And so far how do you like it?"
"So far?" Jade nodded "So far… The desk is made of a good wood."
"You mean you haven't actually explored the place?" Wally shook his head again "Well then, what are we waiting for?"
Jade took Wally's arm and dragged him around the whole building showing him each and every corner and introducing him to the other workers. Wally found it amazing that almost a quarter of the workers there had thought that Joe was just there wandering around and looking for entertainment and had said bad things about their boss without knowing who he really was; but, as he had done with him, Joe didn't pay it much attention and let them go without a problem.

: Later at Jump City Wayne Enterprises:
"So tell me, why do you think you would be a good security guard for this company?"
This was the last one, the last man looking for a job in Jump City Wayne Enterprises as a security guard. Most of the men that Richard had interviewed were pretty good aspirants and he had almost decided; everything would be over as soon as this man answered Richard's questions.
"Well, I've been in this business about 6 years now and I've always be the best. I am 28 years old so I'm still young enough to do the kind of work sometimes one can get, I'm also loyal and trust worthy when you get to know me, I have nothing to distract me from my job apart from my cat, but he doesn't need too much attention.
All the information about my former jobs is written in my curriculum as well as all of my studies; you'll find it clean."
Richard read this man's papers, he was right; everything was clean and his curriculum was the most complete one although he was still young and had started to work even before he had finished his studies which were specialized in science and technology; something that could be useful to the company.
"Yeah Mr. Watkins, it seems that everything is in order and that I don't have to think about my decision anymore; Welcome to Wayne Enterprises."
"Thank you, Mr. Grayson." Mr. Watkins said shaking Richard's hand.
Ok, because 'Mr. Watkins' is too formal we'll call him by his name: Charlie. Charlie Watkins was a 28-year-old white man with dirty blonde hair and light blue eyes. He had a strong body due to his training and that was what made him a great guard. He used to work in a hospital as a receptionist but he felt as if he didn't do anything sitting on a chair everyday for 12 whole hours so he quit and looked for a new job; so far, this one was the one where he, at least, could be moving around instead of staying in just one place.
"When can you start?" Richard asked his new employee.
"Right away if you have my uniform."
"It'll take a couple of days but you can come tomorrow and we'll have your plate, please give all the required information to my secretary out here. You start tomorrow 7 a.m. sharp… Unless you want the night shift." Charlie thought about the proposition for two seconds before answering.
"No, the early shift is all right."
"Perfect, I'll give the night shift to the other one."
"OK then, thanks again Mr. Grayson."
"See you tomorrow Mr. Watkins." With that Charlie got up and went directly to Katherine so he could give her his information.
"Miss Moth." Richard said through the intercom "Mr. Watkins will be the new security guard for the early shift, please take all the required information."
"Got it Mr. Grayson." Katherine answered "What about the night shift?"
"Call the first aspirant to my office." Rich said looking for the first aspirant's papers.
"Ok sir, anything else?"
"No thanks; I'll take these ten minutes to rest a bit before the interview." Richard said finishing the conversation. Sighing, the black haired man looked up at the ceiling "And this hasn't even started."

: A few hours later at Rachel's house:
"This day has been so boring." Gar whined as he sat on a couch watching some random movie on the T.V.
"Don't complain Gar, every Monday is the same; almost no one comes. Sometimes no one comes, but remember Wally and Richard are coming later." Rachel answered without looking up from the book she was reading.
"Richard is coming in about 2 hours, but I'm not sure about Wally." Gar said glancing at his watch.
"He said he'd come earlier." Rachel shrugged "Maybe he's on his way already."
Gar sighed and looked back at the T.V., not ten minutes had passed and he instantly jerked up; his eyes had a devious glint in them.
"Rachel." Gar sang earning Rachel's attention "Was it just me or were our two new friends checking you out yesterday?"
"It was just you." Rachel answered trying to get back to reading her book.
"Aw, come on Rachel; you know that's true."
"Do you have any proof?"
"They were staring at you during the whole reunion." Gar pointed.
"No, they weren't; they were nervous about meeting new people." Rachel retorted.
"But they weren't staring at all the new people, just at you."
"They did not."
"Did too."
"Did not."
"Did too."
"Did not!" Rachel snapped slamming her book shut making Gar jump a little.
"Geez Rach, I was just saying."
"Well, I suggest that if you can't say something intelligent then keep your mouth shut." Rachel said with a glare that could have melted the whole North Pole.
Just then the bell rang and Gar rushed to the door yelling an.
"I got it!"
"I bet its Wally." Said Rachel trying to calm herself.
"Hello there, welcome here." Gar said with a smile as he opened the door.
