Chapter 4-Nightmare
Wally's P.O.V.
I was running and running, and I couldn't stop. I saw the speed force open up. Oh crap I can't die. Not now. I was screaming, "Don't let me die," and "No," at the top of my lungs. Then I saw two hands reach towards me and grabbed me.
"Noooooooo," I yelled as I woke up. Wait I woke up. I'm not dead.
"Wally, are you okay?" Dick asked with concern in his eyes. "What happened?
"I dreamt I was running and I c-couldn't stop." I said beginning to sob. "I k-kept running and r-running until…"
"Until What? What happened?" Dick asked softly.
"Un-until the s-speed f-force opened up. I c-can't d-d-die. Not yet anyways." I sobbed into Dick's chest. Dick held me in his arms until I calmed down, but I was so tired I didn't move away from him.
Robin's P.O.V.
When Wally calmed down I heard soft snoring. Then I heard a knock on the door. I laid Wally down and got up. I opened the door and saw Canary standing there, so I walked out into the hallway shutting the door softly behind me.
"How is he?" Canary asked.
"He's still really sick, and he just had a nightmare, and he was running into the speed force in it," I said. Then I yawned, and Canary looked worried.
"How long has it been since you've slept?" She said impatiently.
"Uh…what day is it?'
"Exactly what I thought, get in bed now."
"W-who w-will take c-care of W-Wally?" I stammered.
"I will watch him," She said triumphantly.
"Okay, but wake me up when he does."
"I will, but," She said. Oh no there was a but. "First you must get at least 3 hours of sleep or more before I wake you up."
"Fine," I said walking to my room barely used room. I lie down on my bed and fell asleep instantly.
Dinah's P.O.V.
I was sitting by Wally's bed when my phone buzzed. At first I thought it was Dick asking if he really had to go to sleep because it had been 5 minutes since he supposedly went to bed, but I checked my phone to see Oliver had texted me.
"You and I are going to have dinner tonight at that fancy restaurant on Main Street. Wear something nice. Pick you up 7. See you then," his text read. I didn't feel like texting him back, so I got up and left the room to call him instead. I dialed his number and he picked up after three rings.
"Hi Dinah" Oliver said.
"Hey Ollie," I said.
"Did you get my text?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah, actually that's what I was calling about. I can't make it tonight."
"What? Why can't you come?" He whined.
"Oliver Queen," I said sternly. "You should like a child."
"Sorry," he said quietly.
"The reason why I can't come is because I'm watching Wally while Robin sleeps. That poor boy looks like he hasn't slept in two days."
"I understand, talk to you later Di. Are you coming home tonight?
"Yeah, I guess so. See you later." I walked back in the room and wetted a washcloth. I set it on Wally's forehead, but he didn't even flinch. "Poor Kid," I muttered.
Wally's P.O.V.
"Where is he" I said when I woke up and saw Dick wasn't there.
"He's sleeping," Someone said. When I said this I didn't expect to get an answer. I looked around and saw Canary. What was she doing here?
"When is he coming back?" I asked.
"In a couple hours or so," As Canary said this, a sleepy looking Dick walked through the door in sweatpants and a sweatshirt. He looked like he just ran a mile because he was sweating like crazy and he was also a little paler than normal. "Oh my gosh, Dick," Canary said before she realized what she said. "I'm sorry Robin."
"Its okay, Wally already knows," Dick said swatting Canary's hand away.
"Come on Dick, don't tell me you're sick again," Canary said.
"No, I'm fine," Dick replied.
"You are clearly not," She stated. "Go back to bed and get some sleep."
Instead of going back to his bed, he climbed into bed with me. Before I could say anything, he was asleep. I just stared at him.
"You should get some sleep too." Canary said, so I rolled over and fell asleep.
Robin's P.O.V.
I woke up and I was in bed with Wally. Wow that sounded perverted. I felt like crap. Then I remembered what happened last night. For some reason I wanted my big brother, so I texted Canary. She was there in no time.
Dinah's P.O.V.
I walked into Wally's room to find Robin awake and Wally still sleeping.
"What is it Rob?" I asked.
"I want Roy," He whined loudly waking Wally up. "Roy," He whined again.
"I want Roy too," Wally added whining also. I texted Roy, and told him to come to the cave. I told him to meet me in Wally's room.
Roy's P.O.V.
I walked into the cave. I wondered what Canary wanted. I walked to Wally's room and entered without knocking. I saw my little brothers lying in bed together. My heart almost melted.
"Roy," I heard Rob say quietly.
"You came," Wally agreed cheerfully. Despite their cheery attitudes, I could tell they were sick.
"How are you feeling?" I asked them.
"Ugh," Wally said rolling over. "I'm fine," he mumbled.
3rd Person P.O.V.
Dick who will open up a little more to his older brother said," My head hurts and my stomach." He looked at his oldest with a sympathetic look in his eyes. Roy glanced at Wally. He needed to find out what was wrong with him.
Roy's P.O.V.
I walked over to Wally's side of the bed and knelt beside him.
"Come on Wally," I said quietly. "What's wrong? You can tell me." I reached out and felt his forehead. It was burning hot. "Well you're certainly sick because you've got a fever." I looked up and saw that Canary was gone. Probably went home to Ollie. I walked over to Robin to feel his head too. He only had a slight fever. I went to get the thermometers and wet washcloths. Also I grabbed some fever reducers and cough syrup. I went back to the room and handed Robin a thermometer. He stuck it in his mouth immediately. I tried to give Wally one, but he rejected it.
"One button," I said.
"One button's what?" Wally asked as Robin's thermometer beeped. Rob took it out and handed it to me. 100, that's not too bad.
"One button is all it takes for me to contact Barry." Wally's eyes grew wide as I said this. He took the thermometer from me and stuck it in his mouth. I beeped a few moments later. I took it out of his mouth. "103 degrees, jeez man that's high." I handed Wally the fever reducers and he swallowed them dry. I gave the cough syrup, and he took it eagerly. I wet a washcloth and told Wally to take off his sweat soaked shirt, and he did.
"Face Rob," I told him, and he rolled over and faced the now sleeping Robin. I took the wet washcloth and wiped Wally's back with it until he fell asleep. I sat back in my chair. 'I should get some rest too, so I don't get sick,' I thought to myself.
