Thank you so much for the reviews, and don't worry, I will not kill Wally. He's a main character here. You have no idea how hard it was for me to find a hospital in Las Vegas. I need one that specializes in backs, if you know any. I just typed up the one with the name I liked the most.
Warning: None really. This is a nice chapter.
When Wally awoke, he was in a completly white room, with an incessant beeping next to him, and his head hurt as if he had just been run over it by a mack truck, then had it juiced by Superboy. He groaned, trying to left his hand to hold it, but stopped when he felt something move inside it. He looked inside, to see an IV attached to his hand.
"What the?" He asked, trying to remember what happened.
Then everything came back to him. Waking up in the cave's infirmary, the talk with Robin, Vigilante, being kidnapped by Speedy, seeing his little sister laughing with a bunch of people, then falling. He faintly remembered hearing her voice, but nothing more. He looked around the room, to find Dany sleeping, her head resting on the man from yesterday, but he was wearing sunglasses. He looked down at himself, feeling guilty, finding himself without a shirt but with pants.
He tried to get up, only to find stinging pain in his lower back. He gasped at the pain, not used to anything like it, then fell back on the bed. His yell awoke both of the room's occupants, who jumped up and looked around wildly, trying to get their things together. Wally moved his good hand to his back, to find a bandage running from the begining of his but, up to his middle back. His eyes were wide, mouth gaping as he looked at Dany, who had the same wide eyes.
"Wally, you're okay." She breathed, then walked over to him and hugged him, making sure to not touch him where the bandages were.
"D-Dany?" He asked, not knowing if this was real or a dream.
She looked at him with watery eyes and nodded, and that was all that Wally needed. He hugged her back tightly, taking away her breath along with his, but he didn't care. Dany was here! Right in front of him! Hugging him! Sure, there was some creepy man looking at both of them as if wondering what just happened.
"God, Dany." Wally breathed, hugging her tighter, making it seem that she was the only thing keeping him there right now. "You have no idea how sorry I am." He said, already readying himself to apologize.
But, he was cut off by Dany speaking. "Wally, don't you dare say sorry. I am the one that should be apologizing here." She said, retracting from the hug, putting her hands on her hips, and smiling down at him.
Wally smiled up at her, then motioned her to continue with his good hand, which just so happened to be the bad one because he had a cast on it. His body was still sore from the explosion, but his back hurt a lot more, which most probably was because of his fall. His head was also bandaged, which he could tell because hair continued to fall on his eyes.
"Wally, I'm sorry that I ran away and cost you so many problems. I swear, if I knew ma and pa would react like that, I would never have left. And the gang, God..." She breathed, sitting down at Wally's side and putting both her hands on his. "They never should've ignored you."
Wally smiled sadly at her, then shook his head. "They have their own problems, mine shouldn't be theirs." He said. "Now can I apologize?"
"No." She said sternly, then smiled. "When I next see them, I am going to whoop their asses." She said, then the man cleared his throat, making both of them look at him.
He looked to have his eyes narrowed from behind the glasses, a frown on his face. Dany got a 'I just realized you were standing there' face, then smiled sheepishly and motioned to him. "This is a good friend of mind, Walls, Red."
Red nodded at him, arms crossed, then walked over to the bed. "How did you get up on the ledge?"
Wally looked at Dany, seeing if he could say the bits about the horse, and she nodded, understanding what he meant. "I already told him half of the story. You know, me running away and Speedy, but we don't know exactly what happened." She explained.
Wally nodded, then looked at Red. "Speedy kidnapped me after I ran away from my friends, then ran me all the way there. Looked inside the window, saw you guys, and I just went into shock. With everything bad, I was just surprised." He said, now looking down at his lap.
Red nodded, then turned to Dany. "So, are you going to call his parents, or me?" He asked, producing a disposible phone from his jacket.
"You should do it. Mom and dad would go crazy if it was me. Plus, I want to know everything that's been going on." She said, then looked at Wally with a smile as Red left the room. "Now, how about you tell me just how the family has been acting?" She asked, producing a pen and miny notebook from her purse.
Wally sighed at her, the joy of seeing her being replaced by the fear of saying everything that has happened. How could his life be so mixed up?
"Hello, Mr. Allen?" Red Hood asked, standing outside of a hotel called the Imperial Palace Hotel. He had stayed there before, when he wasn't that good of a friend of Siegel's and it was the worst place ever. Good thing that he hadn't wasted too much money.
On the other side of the line, Barry was speeding around the cave, trying to find Batman. When he did, he finally answered. "Yeah, this is he."
Red rolled his eyes at the attention the speedster was paying, then said, "This is concerning your nephew. His parents would not pick up the phone, and there really isn't another family member to call."
This got all of the speedster's attention, and he just about dropped the phone. He took a few deep breaths and regained his bearings, he said, "What's wrong?"
Red smirked from underneath the mask, glad that finally someone was paying attention about Wally. He knew what had happened with Carm... Dany, and he didn't like it. Sure, she was missing, but Wally had been their child for longer. And, she agreed. They should've been paying more attention to him and not her. At least the Justice League what was half right and made sure he was good from time to time.
"We found him on the streets yesterday, he seems to have fallen from a two story building, and compressed a vertebrae. We need permission of a parent or guardian to continue with the surgery." He answered, looking at the reports he had swiped from the hospital.
Barry's mouth was hanging open, Batman looking at him as if he was crazy, and Martian Manhunter looking at him with understanding eyes. "Oh God." He breathed, slowly sliding down the wall and sitting against it.
"Mr. Allen? Do we have your permission? We can continue with the surgery now, but you'll have to sign when he is released." Red Hood told him, his smile turning to a frown hearing his reaction.
"Yes, you do! I-is he okay? Anything more serious than that?" He asked, eyes wide in fear.
Red Hood seemed taken aback by the question, then hummed as he read the report. "Only the old injuries. One broken rib, the cut on his head, the various cuts across his body, the burns, and the broken arm. If you do not mind, we will ask you about those when you arrive." He said.
Barry nodded in superspeed, then noticed that the doctor couldn't see him. Realizing this, he said, "Yes, of course. In what hospital is he in?"
"He is in Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center. We will have to wait about a day before doing the surgery, to make sure Wallace is stable, then he will be staying in the hospital for a few weeks. You should not worry, he is in very good care." Red Hood said, smiling at the sigh in relief of the older man.
"Thank you, so much. I will be telling his parents and we'll be getting on the nearest plane to get there." Barry said, slowly getting up and ignoring the questioning glances he got.
"You are welcome, Mr. Allen. Have a nice day." Red Hood said, then cut the connection. He looked at the phone, then threw it at the ground and shot it. Now if the Bat looked for him, he'd find either the hotel or nothing.
Barry sped out of the cave, not even giving them an explanation, but stopping by Vigilante's room, writing down a quick note, then left completely.
Red Hood whistled as he walked over to his motorcycle, got on it, then sped towards the hospital. He had to make sure to return the reports, then make sure that Dany and Wally didn't cause much trouble. The girl was problematic when she didn't have a partner in crime, and having a speedster for one was not going to help any of the patients.
See, I can't kill Wally. He's too important to the story line. Four reviews please.
