"I'm not going." Wally said defiantly.

"I'm not telling you to go." I said, sipping the lemonade that Iris gave me a while ago, before Barry and her went up to bed.

"Then what are you saying?" He sounded tired.

I sadly smirked. "I just want you to consider taking your own advice: You need to balance work and relationships. Otherwise you'll go mad."

"And how's that working out for you?" Thanks for the slap, Wally.

"Well, my one and only boyfriend has a child with another woman who is no longer with us, God rest her soul. So it's not really working out for either of us."

"See?"

"Don't base your life on my crappy-ass relationship. Which," I stated almost proudly. "I completely destroyed."

"Don't sound so happy about it." Wally sounded kind of disgusted. Good.

"Well what would I do with a guy on my shoulder? I wouldn't have been able to go to Xavier's, I wouldn't have met Wade, I wouldn't have beaten those cat bastards, I wouldn't have done any of that." Come on Wally, tell me I'm wrong.

"I don't know about that one, Andi." He sipped his drink as well. "I mean, Johnny would've probably gone with you."

"But then I wouldn't have gotten so close to Wade as I did."

"Close?" He scoffed. "You haven't talked to Wade in months."

I squinted my eyes in confusion. "What are you talking about? He lives in my house."

"He may live in your house but you two aren't 'married' like you used to be."

"So we've passed the honeymoon stage, it doesn't mean we aren't as close." And then a second later, "And we're not married!"

"Please, you guys are about as married as Linda and I are."

"Uh, excuse me." I held up my left hand and pointed to my ring finger. "Do you see a ring here? No. But," My eyes traveled to his left hand. "I do, however, see one on yours."

"Yeah, about that." Wally gently took off the ring.

Uh oh. "What are you doing?"

"Reading the inscription."

"And what does it say?" Oh please be something good.

"'Always Truthful'." Well isn't that a big slice of irony.

I shook my head. "Nobody blames you, you know."

"But I do." He gave a large sigh. "And I'm about to punish myself for it."

And of course, I assumed the worst. "Wally, if you get a divorce I swear to God I'm going to disown you." He knew I was serious, I never swore to God.

He smiled slightly and shook his head. "I'm not filing for divorce, I," He stood up from his chair at the table on the porch. "am going home."

I smiled. "You are?"

Wally nodded. "Yes. I am going home, and packing a bag."

"Where are you going to go?"

"I am moving into the Watch Tower." And he ran off.

I sighed and fell back into my chair. Major fail, Andi.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Bang… Bang…Bang…

Once again, my head was bashing against the wall of Tony's lab. The only difference: I was holding Wally's mask, wishing him to go to Linda.

'Well you just fail at everything, don't you?' One voice said.

"Don't start." I begged myself.

'Seriously, we don't want to hear it.' The other consoled.

'I don't care! She messed up! I knew reverse psychology wasn't going to work on him!"

The other argued. 'Well it was worth a shot!'

"Please be quiet!" I threw my head against the wall a few more times.

'Would you stop that?' The one voice shouted. 'You are going to seriously damage yourself, just like you do everything else!' The other voice tried to fight that comment, but the one kept at it. 'That's right. You ruin everything for everyone! Every time you get your little hands on something, it either changes for worse or dies. How does that make you feel, huh?'

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" I threw myself completely at the wall repeatedly, in hopes of blacking out and keeping the two voices quiet, if only for a little while. All that time spent with Wade has not been helpful for my psyche.

"Are you okay?" Tony's voice echoed gently from the stairs.

"Do I look okay to you?" I cried, holding my head whilst falling against the wall and sliding down to the floor.

He came over, sat down next to me, gathered me into his arms, and held my head. "It's going to okay, Andi. You're going to be alright."

"Of course I'm going to be okay. I'm always okay! But you don't understand." I was shaking my head, tears running down my cheeks. "Everything I touch either dies or changes terribly. Look at Wally, he would never have left Linda had I not been here. I'm not getting anywhere with that stupid gun! I'm never going to help Rogue, or Gambit, or anyone for that matter. I'm just the world's biggest…fuck up! That's all I've ever been, that's all I'll ever be."

"Stop talking like that." Tony mumbled to me.

"It's true." I continued shaking my head. "If I had just kept to myself and not made friends with Virgil or Richie or anybody, I wouldn't be here. I would probably be somewhere in Kansas, living peacefully with some random foster family." When the crying breaths started, he only held me tighter and shushed me.

"You're going to be okay," He cooed, rubbing one of my arms. "Everything's going to be okay."

"I-want-to-go-home." I mumbled into his arm.

"What?"

"I-want-to-go-home!" I said more defiantly.

He nodded, worry in his eyes. "Okay, okay, I'll get you home."

"I just want to go home." I cried, and he kissed the top of my head.

"I know, I know." He repeated, waiting until I calmed down before he made another move.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~

"Is she going to be okay?" Pepper asked Tony later that night as they watched me sleep in one of the guest rooms from the doorway.

"I think so. I don't know what it was, but something in her just snapped."

"What do you mean?"

"She was yelling at herself, saying that she was the reason everything was so 'messed up'."

"My God." Pepper seemed so surprised.

He shook his head when he saw me turn onto my side, clutching Wally's mask tighter. "Andi is so mad at herself, and I don't have a clue as to why."

"She'll tell you when she's ready."

"I don't know how much longer she can hold on." Tony finally tore his eyes away from my sleeping form. "You didn't see her Pepper. She was hurling herself at a wall, screaming 'shut up'."

"That's terrible."

"I know."

"Oh God, I hope she's okay." Pepper covered her mouth in worry.

Tony enveloped her in his arms. "Me too."

"When are you sending her home?"

"When she wakes up. I have to call Bruce and have him prepare."

Pepper pulled away from him and gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "I'll call him. You stay with her, make sure she's okay."

"Thank you, Miss Potts." He said before he went back to watching me.

She smiled a little. "You're welcome, Mr. Stark."
