Hey guys thanks for all the reviews, favorites and follows! I was very happy(: anyway so this is the second chapter and I'm going to go a little into Wally's home life and something dealing with Superboy because in my opinion I feel like Superboy is part of the family because that is the first family he ever had. So please tell me what you think about this chapter, all suggestions and ideas are open! Enjoy!

"Why am I here?" Conner asked
"Because Wally asked you to," Black Canary said sternly.
"Why? He didn't show up for training and everybody doesn't know what's going on!" Conner yelled
"Conner!" Black canary snapped at him, but then calmed down and started to say what she needed to. "You remember Wally's parents, right?"
"Of course," he said gruffly.
"Well they're going through a rough time, and they think of you as family." Conner smiled fondly at that. "And Wally wants you to be there with them."
Conner looked puzzled and asked with much concern, "What's wrong with them?"
"Conner, Wally's mother has sarcoma cancer. The doctors say she won't make it. Wally thinks of you as a brother and it would mean a lot if you were there for them," Black Canary said in a soft voice.
He was lost for words. Mary West, the first woman that cared for him as a mother. The woman that was his mother was going to die. That was a lot to take in and somehow he just couldn't come to reality with it. He was going to be there though. He was going to be there for Wally and his family. He was going to do it because they took him in at a time that he needed somewhere to stay, and treated him like the family he always wanted. He was going to be there because he wanted to.
Conner got up and left to go the West household. On he's way to exit the cave, he ran into Robin. "Hey Supey," he greeted.
"Hi," he said as he brushed pasted him. Robin was about to question what was bothering him, but he then saw Canary pass him to get to Conner, and left it alone…for now.
Knock, knock, knock… Conner waited patiently for someone to open the door of the West house hold. Finally Wally answered, and he smiled him. How can he smile at him at a hard time like this? Well, Wally is just like that. He wants to be happy, so he focuses on the positive things in his life, like a friend knocking on his door. "Hey Conner, what's up dude?"
"Um, I wanted to be here for…" and Conner just couldn't seem to finish his sentence, but he didn't need to.
"Come on in buddy, they miss you," Wally said so softly that Conner couldn't recognize that voice as Wally West's.
He came into the house and saw Mary and Rudolph West cuddling on the couch together, looking as happy as ever…well at least, Mary West was. "Mom, dad…Conner came to visit."
Marry West snapped her neck towards them and glowed with happiness. In a way, he was her second son, and she missed him. "Conner! I've missed you! How is school? Getting good grades I hope," she said in a motherly tone.
"Yes, I'll always try my best," Conner replied with a giant smile.
"Good, now is there any special occasion that my second son had to visit me for?"
"I...uh…heard you were in the hospital." He said awkwardly
She waved that off as if it was nothing. "Oh that was nothing! They thought something was wrong with me, but I'm as healthy as an ox!"
Right then and there, Wally and Conner froze in place, not knowing what to say. Rudolph West kept a secret from his wife. He didn't tell her that she was going to die. He made her believe that she was fine…but she was far from it.
*two hours later*
Conner left to get back to the cave, as he did have to do homework for his classes in Happy Harbor. After he left, there was a silence in the room until Mary broke it. "Well I am tired, goodnight." She then gave them both a kiss on the cheek and went upstairs to bed.
Once they heard the bedroom door close Wally turned his head towards his dad. "Why didn't you tell her?"
Rudolph grunted, and growled, "She doesn't need to know. She just needs to be happy and-"
"No!" Wally interrupted him. "She has every right to know that she's going to die! You're lying to your own wife, who would do something like that?"
Wally finished it and regretted saying. Rudolph. Did. Not. Like. It. He got mad and charged at Wally. Wally's eyes grew wide and was stepping backwards as his father quickly advanced on him. Wally backed into the wall behind him as his dad got very close to him. He growled and said "Don't talk to me like I don't know what I'm doing. I know what I'm doing and what I am doing is the right thing, got it?"
Wally just started into his eyes, not knowing what to say. His father never scared him like this. There was nothing but silence and Rudolph thought Wally understood. He backed off his son, but then Wally spoke. "No you're wrong," he said strongly.
What happened next scared Wally into shock that he didn't do anything? His father hit him, that's what happened. He got angry and swung and hit Wally right in the cheek. The power of the hit sent Wally to the floor, and he held his cheek as he looked up at his father in fear and confusion. Rudolph was pissed, and just looked down at Wally at anger. He then walked away to go join Mary to go to sleep.
This wasn't over.
That's it for this chapter! Hoped you liked it. Please review! It makes me feel awesome! Suggestions and ideas are always welcomed(:
