They saw Wally walking towards them. He stood next to Roy, slightly leaning on him for support.

Roy smiled, "Hey Walls..."

"Hi..." Wally turned more towards the four unknowing friends, "Like Roy said he was sadistic."

Flash interrupted, "Wally you don't have to..."

"I know. But it's okay, I want to. He enjoyed other people's pain. I obviously his favorite victim. But he never touched Mary."

Megan asked, "Mary?"

"His wife and my biological mother. They were actually really good for each other. They were both narcissistic and emotionless bastards."
Wally finally looked up and the team could see faint tear tracks on his face.
"The abuse was really bad up to around age eleven. That's when I recreated the flash experiment and got my powers."

"Wait. Wally I met you when you were six. Are you telling me that during those five years I knew you I never noticed the abuse and marks." Barry asked Wally turned around, "Well it's not like I made it easy..."

"I failed you..." Barry mumbled staring at the floor.

Wally's eyes widened in shock, "What?"
Robin stood up from his seat as he and Roy started ushering the others out of the room, sensing that the speedsters needed a moment alone.

"If I had noticed back then when you were younger. You wouldn't have had to deal with all that pain." Barry elaborated.

Wally's eyes softened, "Uncle Barry..." he took a seat next to his uncle.

"If I can't even protect my nephew what good am I as Flash. I'm no hero..." Barry continued on in self-pity.

"Uncle Barry, stop!" Wally yelled frustrated.
Barry looked over at the young red headed child he adored so much. Barry couldn't help but see the same 8-year old who would run to him and Iris about monsters and nightmares, it was incredible how much of a hold Wally had on him without even knowing it.
"Why would you say that? You save tons of people everyday."

"But I couldn't save the one person who means the most to me. Wally you need to understand that those people are nothing compared to you. You and Iris are the most important people to me." Barry explained "Flash is your hero and he failed when you needed him the most." Barry said depressingly.

Wally chuckled, "Flash isn't my hero."
Barry looked at the young speedster, confusion evident on his face.
Wally continued on, grinning, "It's the man inside the suit that's my hero. Flash is a superhero for all of Central City and the world when needed. He focused on the good of the general population. But you Uncle Barry are my superhero in everyday life. You've always been there for me. When I lived out on the streets you took me in, not Flash. When I had night terrors you took care of me, not Flash. You and Aunt Iris filed for custody, not Flash. It was always you Uncle Barry. You focused on what was best for me and whenever I needed you, you were there."
Wally chuckled at his Uncle's awestruck expression, "Ya know for a smart forensic scientist you're not very observant."

"Wow bay watch, that was deep." A smooth voice rang out behind them. The team had walked back in the room right when Wally started his speech. Once Wally realized this he flushed red.

Robin then spoke up, "Now what? I mean Rudolph is still gonna try? Will you be okay dude?"

Wally stood up with a smirk and determination in his eyes, "Yeah! If it's a fight he wants it's a fight he's gonna get!"

Hope you enjoyed
