Wally looked up wide eyed, from where he sat bruised and broken on the ground, at the crowd before him.
"How's it feel to be responsible for someone's death?"
"Kid Flash what do you have to say about the recent death that you caused?"
"Kid Flash will you be attending his funeral?"
"Flash Jr?"
"Kid Flash?"
"Speedy?"
There were some many flashes, so many people taking pictures of him as he stared wide eyed, green eyes horrified and panic stricken.
Everyone was so close to him, surrounding him.
"Please stop," he mumbled, burying his head in his hands. "Please stop, please go away."
"Kid Flash why weren't you fast enough?"
"Kid Flash were you more worried about yourself than the boy?"
"Kid Flash could Flash have saved him?"
"Speedy?"
"Kid Flash?"
"Flash Kid?"
Wally felt tears coming to his eyes, don't cry. He told himself. Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.
So many people surrounding him, suffocating him, so little space, nowhere to run, he couldn't run.
Even if he wasn't surrounded he couldn't run, he couldn't even feel his legs, burn marks were forever etched into them from where numerous piles of burning rubble had fallen on him.
Yet no one cared, all the reporters surrounding him cared about was his flaws, the fact that he wasn't fast enough.
"Kid Flash how's it feel to know you could've saved someone and didn't?"
"Kid Flash do you think this is your fault?"
"Well I think it's his fault."
Flash Boy?
Speedy?
Flash Jr?
Why wouldn't they stop saying his name? Why wouldn't anyone help him? He was hurt, he was bleeding, he was barely conscious and all they could do was accuse him of murder.
"I'm sorry," he muttered tears pouring out of his eyes, as the last of his mask crumbled away. "I'm sorry I couldn't save him. I tried, honestly I did. I'm sorry I wasn't fast enough, I'm sorry I can't be like Flash. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Now please leave me alone," he was begging now, as tears poured out of green eyes, but no one would leave.
"So you admit to killing the boy, how does this make you feel?"
"Can I quote you?"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP HIM YOU MORON?! FASTEST BOY ALIVE, YA RIGHT!"
Mini Flash?
Baby Flash?
Kid Flash?
Wally sobbed, pulling his burnt and broken body closer to him as he sat there on the ground, bits of asphalt and other pieces of rubble sticking to his bleeding skin.
"Someone help me," he sobbed. "I didn't mean to. Someone help me." The crowd surrounding him, the numerous flashes of cameras and microphones shoved into his face was somehow worse than the burning building that had fallen on him just moments before.
However, he wasn't prepared on just who would help him.
"Leave. Him. Alone!"
Wally's head darted up as he watched someone dressed in green stand over him protectively.
Instantly more questioned were shouted.
"Miss, are you Green Arrow's new sidekick? If so what happened to Speedy?"
"Are you Kid Flash's girlfriend?"
"Why are you defending this murder? He let an innocent child die, just to save himself."
Wally whimpered slightly at the last comment, "I didn't mean to." He told the man above him. "I tried to help him. I really did."
"Ya right and I'm Superman," a reporter growled. He had a large stomach and wild brown hair; his breath smelled of beer and brought back unwanted memories to Wally's mind.
"Listen here you big, fat, overgrown, no good, jerk," Artemis's voice was loud and harsh. "You just watched a whole building fall down on someone, a teenager, a kid trying to save someone else and all you can say is. Why couldn't you save the boy? Why did you let him die?"
"He tried," Artemis's voice had turned venomous as storms blazed within her grey eyes. "He's hurt and dying and all you care about is what's going to be published in your next gossip journal. Well guess what if I even hear so much as one sound out of any of you I will personally hang you upside down from the nearest skyscraper."
There was complete and utter silence as every reporter shifted nervously from foot to foot. Some looked angry at the archer and were glaring at her, or at him, but there were others, many others, who looked ashamed.
Artemis stood there glaring at the numerous people before her, before turning around and kneeling down next to him.
"Hey Kid you okay?"
Wally looked up at her green eyes standing out against blood shot red. His red hair seeming to burn even brighter against his pale face and ripped mask, his legs were at an awkward angle and burn marks scattered his whole body. Yet somehow he still managed to give her a tired, what do you think? Look.
"Right," Artemis muttered. "Of course not, can you move?" She asked nervously.
Wally looked down at the ground for a moment before he shook his head, "no."
"Why not? Where's it hurt the most?" She asked him softly.
Kid Flash looked up at the numerous reporters that still surrounded him, and slowly started to panic again, they were all so close, all blaming him for something he didn't do. Or did he? He wasn't sure anymore, everything was becoming so dark and fuzzy.
"Kid, Kid stop I need you to stay with me here," Artemis's voice was commanding and somehow manage to knock Wally back into reality blood shot green eyes staring into stormy grey. "Where does it hurt?"
"Not here," Wally muttered."I'll tell you back at the Cave, but please Artemis not here."
"Listen in order to help you I need to know what's wrong," Artemis told him her voice growing frustrated. "Why won't you tell me?"
"Because," Wally gulped looking down. "I don't want anyone to know that I can't feel my legs."
So ya….it's not my best, but it's not my worst….and ya…
Anyways just a warning in future chapters there's a lot OOC Wally (in my opinion) and he goes from being strong and "it's not my fault" to weak and "it's all my fault" ….I'm just gonna blame post dramatic stress disorder or whatever it's called….You guys should too XD
Ya…just a warning

Q&A
Do you play an instrument: Yes, guitar and if I think about it I can play simple piano stuff
Do you read comics: Actually no, at least probably not the way your thinking and not faithfully. I've read most of the Young Justice tie in comics, a few of the Teen Titans tie ins and every now and then I'll pick up a Star Wars: The Clone Wars comic, but that's about it. I think once I read Young Avengers, but only one issue. Comics were just never something I really got into *shrug*
(Now all you guys no why when I write bad guys their so out of character or as one reviewer put it, "the way you write the Scarecrow makes him sound like the Joker," but hey I make do with what I have *cough*Wikipedia*cough*)
If you could turn into any animal, which would you choose: A wolf :D
What's your favorite subject: Art, but if that doesn't count, then probably science
Why is the sky blue: I'm sure there's some sciencey explanation for it that I'm too dumb to understand :P
What's your opinion on McDonalds: I only go there for their French fries (and when they had Young Justice toys :P)
Do you like meat, fruit, veggies, ect. Better? I actually really like meat, but I think I like fruit more….I really don't care for vegetables
Review Please :D
