Thanks for all the reviews; it seems that you guys like this story. Anyway, some people kept telling me to put Artemis and Wally together. Oh, I plan to, but I want to build up to it a little more. I don't want to go into the relationship quick, like Superboy and M'gann, I want you guys to be begging and yelling at the screen for them to get together, than when they get together, you'll get a huge satisfaction. Suggestions and ideas are always welcomed, and review! Enjoy!

"Aunt Iris," Wally yelled happily as he gave her a big hug the next morning.

"Hey sweetheart, I'm here to take you home."

"Where's Uncle Barry?" Wally asked kind of sadly

"He had to um, attend to other business," she said, which basically meant he was the Flash at the moment.

"Oh, ok, well let's get out of here!" Wally said as they walked to the car

They were driving in the car, and either Wally would be looking out the window or at his wrists. He had this feeling on his wrist that the restraints were there. He didn't like them at all, he felt contained. He remembers it though. He remembers the dream, well nightmare, which he was having before they could wake him up. He was back at home with his father, only this time it was real. Real as in his dad wasn't taking the pills, his mother was still dead, and everyone hated him. He felt slow against him, like every step or move he did, he was stuck in tar. One hit after another, and the ting that hurt him the most, were the words that came out of Barry's mouth. Yeah that's right; Barry was in the nightmare as well, only he hated Wally now.

Useless

Waste

Stupid

Unreliable

DISGRACE

Wally has never felt that bad before. He felt like a truck ran over his heart, after his hero said those words to him. His Aunt Iris also contributed, along with the team. Each one of them had something to say about Wally. In his head, he knew that they weren't real, but that didn't make them any less true. He knew deep down inside, that they really did think of those things about him. Then Artemis appeared, and she was about to say something. Wally didn't want to hear it; he didn't want to hear what the love of hi- his team mate had to say about him, which would crush him, hearing it from her. He heard her angel voice, but it wasn't saying anything mean, no, it was telling him to wake up; in a harsh manner of course.

Her voice, made all the problems go away, and made him focus on one thing; getting back to her.

"Wally you alright?" Iris asked

Wally rubbed his wrist, "No," he said truthfully, "but I don't want to talk about it either."

Iris nodded and put her focus back onto the road. They finally arrived back home, and seconds later, Barry arrived and gave Wally a hug. Wally went upstairs to go talk to Dick on the phone I privacy, but really, he was eves dropping. "How was he on the way home?" Barry asked

"He was out of it. He told me straight up that he wasn't ok, but he didn't want to talk about it." Iris said as she buried her head in her husband's chest

"Yeah I knew he wouldn't want to talk about it. The struggled I had to get him to make him take his pills; from then I knew it would take a while for him to get better, but it's worth it."

A pause of silence as Barry swallowed a lump in his throat. "You don't know what a low opinion he has of himself, and how little he deserves it."

"Recognized: Kid Flash B06," the computer said.

"KF, it's good to see you!" Robin said doing an awesome/weird handshake with the speedster

"It's good to see you to man," Wally said as if he was the happiest person in the world.

"Are you training with us today?" Robin asked

"No, I have a session with BC. I won't be back for another five days, sorry bro."

"That's alright man, you get better and I'll see you in a bit." Robin said as Wally entered the room

Black Canary was sitting in one of the chairs, but not as Black Canary, but as Dinah Lance. Wally wanted to talk to a person, not a hero. Wally sat down in the chair, and nobody said anything. "You're not going to say anything? Like how I'm emotionally damaged?" Wally asked

"I don't know, are you?" Dinah asked

"No I-not completely. I just want my life to go back to the way it was; with my mom, my friends, and not to have the guilt of being the cause of four people's lives in the courtroom that day." Wally said as he looked at the ground

"Wally, its ok to think those thoughts, but think of it this way; you still have your friends, your aunt and uncle care for you like a mother and father should. As for the guilt, they were doing their jobs, just like we do, and sometimes unfortunate things happen to good people; we just have to accept that."

"Yeah I guess, but everyone is so nice to me since my mom passed away, but some other people weren't…."

"Who weren't?" Dinah asked leaning forward

"Some people from school were telling me that I was weak for crying over my mom's passing. They called me weak because I loved my mom!" Wally sobbed out

"How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg?" Dinah asked

"Five," Wally said simply.

"Wrong; the correct answer is four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg."

Wally looked up with hope in his eyes and smiled that fantastic smile that just melts everyone's hearts.
