Chapter 22

"Now, are you ready to answer questions?" Wally decided to act just like he did with his dad, be cautious and always answer with respect, even during or after beatings he needed to answer with respect. Maybe that would calm Batman down, it never worked with his father but it got worse if he didn't. "Well?" Batman questioned.

"Yes, Sir." Wally spat immediately becoming nervous when Batman narrowed his eyes.

"A little less attitude will help you a lot. Sit down." Batman warned

"Yes, Sir." Wally said quietly and sat down on the bed, wow! Batman thought, scaring goes a long way with him.

"How are you walking last time I saw you, you were paralyzed." Bruce started the questions.

"I learned my powers can heal, I used it to heal my legs." Wally said cautiously eyeing the belt in Batman's hand.

"How did you get into crime fighting, never mind just tell me everything from when you left." Bruce concluded, this might make it go a bit faster, he thought to himself.

Wally sighed deciding to only tell the basics, this way he can avoid betraying his group. "I went to a orphanage met Black Canary who had turned it to a helping hand for superheroes. I healed my legs and then I trained with the group for three years, I became one of the best fighters there and then I went on my first mission. Where I met you and then you apparently followed us back and captured me and Black Canary and now I'm here." Wally concluded.

"Who are your other group members, give me a name and power. We may have to bring them for questioning." Batman stated.

Wally's eyes widened he couldn't tell Batman this then he would betray his only family. But if he didn't tell Batman then be might get the belt used on him, he knew the sting of a belt all to well. "I-I can't." He said weakly, Batman raised an eyebrow and decided to scare a little more. Batman got up and started towards Wally. Wally jumped up and backed away, "PLEASE NO, DON'T! I-I can't I they their- their my family please!" Wally stuttered, he backed up to the wall. Batman knew he was close to breaking so kept coming at Wally just slower.

The door opened and the Justice League entered, with Black Canary tied up behind them. Everyone looked at the scene in shock, Flash was the first to snap out of it. He ran over and grabbed the belt from Batman's hands, glaring Batman down.

"Batman his father abused him, he doesn't need you to do the same. For someone who wanted to win him back, you aren't doing a very good job." Flash spat. Hawkgirl walked carefully towards Wally, when Batman intercepted her.

"Justice League members report to conference room B for a meeting leave Wally and Black Canary here." He planned on explaining his tactics and reasoning for this. They left Black Canary and Wally there and left, Hawkgirl giving one final look at Wally.

Once they left Wally dropped to the floor, pulling his knees to his chest he cried into his arms. Black Canary ran over to him and dropped beside him.

"What happened?" Black Canary asked carefully.

"He dragged me into here and started into a lecture saying how he was my guardian, and how I had to listen to him. He said that I would learn to speak to him respectfully or else, I got mad and asked him if I didn't was he going to beat me if I didn't. He said if that's what it takes and he left and came back with the belt and asked me to give up the group. I couldn't they're my family and he started towards me with the belt and I-I-I remembered my dad and I panicked. I knew he was going to beat me just like him, just like before. And you can't do anything about it because he has legal rights over me, it will be just like before." Wally explained weakly, Black Canary hugged him.

"Wally I will never let him hurt you, between him and your dad you have gone through enough. I promise you, you will not have to deal with this anymore. I don't know if I can stop him from being your guardian he may have to take you back, I have no rights. But I WILL make sure that he doesn't lay a hand on you. Okay?" Wally nodded as Black Canary smiled softly at him.

"I hate him." Wally said angrily "He refuses to care about me, so I refuse to care about him. I bet he wasn't even going to use that belt, I bet it was all just to scare me! But dammit it worked, I'm so weak!" Wally cursed at himself.

Black Canary sighed "Wally I bet he was just trying to scare you but honestly, that doesn't matter. Anyone would've been scared of a belt coming towards them, don't think you are weak because of that. Especially after what you have been through, you have a right to be scared. Don't forget that." Black Canary said certainly, Wally smiled at that.

"I guess I just have rotten luck with parents, huh? But I can't help but wonder what it would have been like to have parents who actually care. Not a dad who takes pleasure in beating in me or a mom that could care less about me. I want a real parent, someone who cares about me tells me not to do something because they love me. You know? I have always had someone who hated me or couldn't understand me. My whole life I have been without parents, I guess I could have turned out worse. But I bet I could have turned out a lot better with parents, not just some kid who was stuck in orphanages because he was different and no one wanted him. But that's alright, I guess this way I don't have to worry about hurting anyone. I'll just stick to having a strange little family from the group." Wally decided after he finished. Black Canary smiled sadly at him.

"You have the group and we work about the same as parents, I know it's not the same as parents. But you have a group of people who would do anything to protect you. And you know what I bet that there us even some of the Leaguers here who would do anything to protect you too. You aren't alone Wally and you never will be, you have a personality that everyone loves even if they just met you." Black Canary told Wally knowing it was true.

They sat in silence together, it was strangely comforting. Wally fell asleep right there in Black Canary's arms, she smiled and held him tighter. She would do anything to protect him, she was going to make sure Batman knew that.
