Chapter 2

Everyone kept a pretty low pace in the beginning and not until the last ten miles could you see the leading group had shrunk with at least a third. John and Diana still kept up pretty good with the elite and Wally didn't even look tired, his attempts to look tired may fool the normal eye, but not space cop's.

At the last water station, Wally didn't show any sign of being exhausted, which John thought was odd. Everyone else at least tired to get their breath back, but Wally looked like he had only joined them minutes ago. John himself felt he was at the point he could quit at any time, but Diana still looked like she could go a couple of miles and he couldn't let the princess win so he had to keep this up a little longer until at least Diana gave up. But he couldn't let go of that Wally guy, he was suspicious, so John joined Diana by her side to talk about it.

- " Hey Princess, you see that guy over there with red hair?"

- " Yeah I have noticed him, Wally right. Nice guy. What up with him?"

- " He doesn't look tired at all and consider he doesn't look like the athletic type, he should at be catching his breath at this time, but look at him. He looks like he can run this thing ten times in a row without break and do the same thing tomorrow. Should we check him for drugs or anything?"

- " Aren't you overreacting about this now John? Look at him; he sure doesn't look like the type who is into drugs and he maybe just is this good at running. And if you don't believe me, why don't you ask him yourself, he's heading our way." John turned his head to the side to see Wally closing in to join them.

- " Hey you guys, how is it going?" Wally gave them a bright smile. "I haven't seen you guys at the race before, you new in town?"

- " No, we're mem…" John started, but Diana interrupted him.

- " Yeah, we both moved here last month and thought we would be fun to do something almost everyone here in Central does every year, to make it feel more like home." Diana gave John a harsh glare keeping him from saying anything.

- " What a great idea. You know all the money from the race goes to the orphanage here in Central and all the kids so they can get new clothes and stuff. And this year like an extra bonus, if more then 10 people finish the race before three hours, Wayne Enterprises promised to give an extra check to the kids. "

- " How wonderful. I'm sure the children really enjoy this event. Knowing this much people are willing to help them"

- " Yeah they really are. You know, I used to live their when I was younger and I now works there as a volunteer when I don't study or need to be at work. It's great to see how much better the orphanage looks now compared to a few years ago when they didn't even have money to repair a broken window in the winter."

- " And people didn't care about that? How can people not care to help at that time?"

- Lucky them the Flash heard about it and helped to get the money they needed for the repair… Oh, look at the time. Need to get a higher pace if I want to finish this on time. Bye you guys and good luck. See you at the finish line!"

It didn't take long before Wally was out of sight, closing in to them in the front. When they were sure Wally wouldn't be able to hear them, John asked Diana why she had stopped him from telling Wally they were members of the league. Diana said it would have been a bad idea. It would only make things worse if he really were into drugs.

- "I don't know about you John, but Wally reminds me a little of Flash. He give out like some sort of positive energy and it makes me feel happy to be around him. You know what, I think you're wrong about him!"

Author's note:

You know what guys? I have started to take my drivers license and I hope I can have it before the end of the summer and the next school year starts.

Did the part about: don't drink and drive, today so, if you feel drugs are a little to emphasize in this chapter, that's the reason.

Still don't own the DC universe or its characters.
