R&R
"I've got her location," Robin said typing in the address and having his screen beep at him.
"Let's go!" Wally said quickly. He was already in his outfit and running to the exit.
"Hold up Wally!" Artemis shouted.
The others changed instantly, not wasting more than a minute to change. They rushed out quickly, loading into the flying ship and flying towards the coordinates Robin locked onto. They stopped when they reached an abandoned building that reached into the sky with its many floors.
"Which floor is it?" Wally asked fearfully, anxious to find Crystal quickly.
"I don't know, she didn't give you the floor number." Robin argued back, jumping out of the ship and looking at the building.
"We'll just have to go through all of them." Kaldur said looking at the building with worry.
"I'll start from the top." Superboy said, jumping at incredible heights and landing on the roof instantly.
"I'll go with him." Megan said, flying quickly after him.
She opened the door for him and they quickly started checking the floors.
"We need to move." Artemis said, running into the building.
They began checking the vast floor on the bottom. Wally grew anxious as they searched five floor with nothing there but a few run down furniture and machinery.
"I'm going on ahead!" Wally said, glancing back at the others before racing off towards the stairs.
Floor after floor he ran through, looking quickly for Crystal, but still not getting any sight of her. Finally he ran into Megan and Superboy who looked grim, making his worry increase even more.
"No sign?" Wally asked, out of breath.
"None," Superboy said looking around. "This place seems emptier than the desert."
Robin, Artemis, and Kaldur raced in, spotting the others standing in the middle of the room with grim and worry plastered on their faces.
"This is the address she gave you right? You didn't make a mistake?" Artemis asked, thinking of anything to help.
"I know that code by heart. I'd never forget it." Wally said shaking his head.
"Maybe she's somewhere in the nearby buildings." Kaldur said staring out the window at the building next door.
"That could be it! Maybe she saw the address to this building and used it as a clue!" Robin said, dialing in some numbers that could help him solve this problem.
Megan put her hands to her temple, concentrating on the surrounding area. "There!" She pointed behind all of them to the building outside. "There are people in that building. All the others are empty. She has to be in there!"
A gust of wind went through the room, and Wally was gone out of the building before they could blink. They raced out of the tower to follow him, but he was already gone before they could see him.
Wally raced into the building and climbed floor to floor, searching for the people Megan sensed. He stopped in the stairwell, hearing voices on the other side of the door, his anger rises as he balled his fist. He slammed his foot into the door, making the men stare at him with their weapons at the ready. They couldn't move an inch before he raced into the room, knocked their weapons across the room, and hit their heads together, knocking them out onto the floor.
"What's going on?" A man shouted down the hallway.
Wally recognized the voice as the man yelling behind the camera. He raced down the hallway and crashed into the man, pinning him to the wall by the collar of his shirt.
"Where is she?" Wally shouted at him angrily.
The man's eyes were about to bulge out of his sockets as he desperately grabbed at Wally's arms. He opened his mouth and stuttered for awhile, trying to get the superhero to let him go.
"Where is she?" Wally growled out again, slamming the man against the wall again.
"S-s-she's down the hallway, a-a-and to the r-r-r-r-right. F-f-fifth door down." He stuttered out.
Wally dropped him and ran down the hallway, slamming his shoulder into the door the man pointed out. It wouldn't budge under the pressure, so he repeatedly pushed on it, until it broke the hinges on the door.
"Crystal!" He shouted looking around the room expectantly.
The room was empty except for chains, a camera, and an empty gun on the floor. Wally sucked in a breath as he spotted the puddle of blood on the floor where Crystal was sitting before. He searched around the room, hoping to find any clue as to where she was. He looked back towards the door, and that's when he noticed the blood drops leading outside the door.
"How did I not see that?" He asked himself, mentally smacking his forehead.
He followed the spots quickly, but stopped as he heard running footfalls and shouting voices behind him. Voices that didn't belong to his team or anyone else he knew. He ran, not giving up on the trail, and not having enough time to fight the men coming after him. The men circled him, trapping him in the hallway with nowhere to go.
"Wally! Go on ahead! We got this!" Robin shouted, throwing some of his batarangs at the surrounding men.
The team charged in and quickly fought against the crowds of men, taking them down one by one. Wally nodded his head and ran up the wall, running along the ceiling until he passed the crowd, then dropped to the ground and kept on running.
"You stupid girl!"
Wally stopped next to a window and looked out it, knowing her heard the voices from the open window. He peeked out, and noticed Crystal backing up on the edge of the building with Max walking closer to her every second. His eyes widened in fear as he raced to the top as fast as his legs could take him, needing to reach Crystal before Max got a hold of her again.
"I should have killed you before!" Max shouted to Crystal as he grabbed her throat, her toes barely touch the edge of the roof.
"Leave her alone!" Wally shouted at him as he slammed through the roof door.
Max turned around and glared at Wally, before giving him an evil smirk. "What's wrong? Worried for your girlfriend?"
"Give her back," Wally threatened Max with a glare back and just as intense.
Wally took a step forward, trying to take a start to run towards Crystal and reach her before Max did anything. Max glared and tightened his hold on her; a choked scream coming out of her throat.
"Careful, One move and I'll crush her throat." Max threatened, his glare enough to throw daggers at Wally.
"Fight me, not her." Wally said, spreading his legs apart, ready for Max's move.
He brought Crystal closer and threw her to the edge of the building. She choked for the air her lungs needed and looked at Wally in worry. Max turned towards Wally and smirked; he picked up his foot and slammed it on the rooftop, sending a crack to start from his foot and reach Wally, before opening and trying to drop Wally down inside.
Wally jumped up and looked at Crystal, seeing her raising herself on her feet once again. Wally lunged towards Max, slamming his body into his chest and making him take a step backwards. Crystal jerked her leg out and tripped Max, making his head slam into the ledge with force.
Wally jumped off of Max as said person growled and jerked his legs around, trying to kick off Wally but is so disoriented to actually connect with him. Wally helped Crystal up and brought her close, watching Max try to compose himself.
Crystal looked down at Max and gasped. "Watch out!" She shouted, pushing Wally away and to the ground.
Max had stood up and thrown a punch. Crystal brought her arms up into a shield, letting the powerful hit smash into her arms. The force threw her across the rooftop and slam into the ledge of the roof. She screamed as pain erupted from her arm where a cracking was heard on impact.
"Crystal!" Wally shouted, looking at her with worry.
Max stared at Crystal with a proud smirk, seeing the pain she was in as she held her wrist to her body. Wally gritted his teeth and ran, jumping over the crack and slamming his foot into Max's head. Max gripped his jaw, staring at Wally in anger. He slammed his fist down trying to hit Wally with the powerful hit, but instead hit the roof top, cracking it and sending a powerful wave of power across it.
Wally looked over and his heart stopped as he looked over and saw the force knock Crystal back as she stood. It pushed her back into the ledge and over the side, disappearing from sight. Wally pushed his speed to the max as he darted over the edge and grabbed her as they fell. He wrapped his arm around her waist and held her close, before grabbing a window ledge and his arm nearly ripped from the force of the sudden gravitational force being exerted.
"Wally," Crystal groaned feeling her arm throb in pain from both the gunshot wound and broken bone.
"I got you," He told her calmly.
Max began laughing as he looked over the edge and down at them as they dangled on the side of the building. "Two for one! What luck!"
A battle cry was heard as Superboy crashed into Max from behind. Megan flew down to them and levitated them off the edge and into the building.
"Oh my god! Crystal are you okay?" Megan asked, looking over her.
Megan furrowed her brows together as she looked at Crystal. She opened her hands and placed them on Crystal's arm and shoulder. Power surged out of her and into Crystal, healing the wound and bone as much as it could.
"I'm sorry, that's all I can do." Megan apologized.
Crystal shook her head, giving her a small smile. "It's fine." Her voice broke as she tried to hold back the pain in her body that threatened to seep out of her.
"I'll call the ship." Megan said.
The ship flew by and stopped by the others, seeing that they took down Max, knocked him out, and tied him up. They loaded him in and quickly took him to headquarters, letting the league deal with him as Crystal was bandaged up.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Artemis asked, looking a t her with worried eyes.
"I'm fine, Big Sis." Crystal teased, saluting her off.
The other's headed out to their homes, night coming out with the moon and stars. The league saw it as best the Crystal stay somewhere other than the headquarters for awhile until they find out who was targeting her and them. She ended up going back to Wally's, since there was no one else she knew other than his parents.
Wally and Crystal still hadn't talked, though Wally did give her glances and small smiles, more out of nervousness and guilt. She didn't know what to say to him either.
"Hey," Wally said, once everyone left the house. "You want to play some video games?"
He mentally smacked himself for the stupid question, but cheered up when he saw her smile at him once again and nod her head in agreement. They played for awhile and got back into their routine of normal friendship that they had before.
"I'm beat!" She said, falling back onto his bed with her arms and legs splayed out. "Hey, give me one of your t-shirts."
Wally looked at her with a raised eyebrow, but shrugged his shoulders and looked around for a t-shirt. He gave up looking for one and took his off and threw it at her. She put it over her tank-top, before taking the tank-top off underneath and throwing it to the ground, and then slid her pants off, making him blush furiously.
She rolled onto her side, facing away from him as she relaxed in a familiar setting.
"Hey, don't fall asleep," He teased.
He looked at her body as she lay on his bed, his shirt ending mid thigh on her and his sleeves ending at her elbow. She made him look as if he was a pro wrestler with how small and fragile she looked in his clothes. He stood up and walked over to his bed, sitting down and looking over her gently to see that she was fast asleep on his bed already.
He smiled and sighed, pushing a strand of her hair out of her face. He laid on his bed and placed his arms behind his head, letting the silence carry him away into sleep before he realized it himself.
Crystal groaned as her shoulder throbbed from the weight her body was putting on it. She rolled onto her other side, and sighed in relief as a warmth curled around her head and pulled her closer to a larger warmth.
Wally had curled his arm around her head automatically in his sleep as she rolled onto it, pulled her to his body and sighing in content at her familiar presence. He rolled onto his side and pulled her close, feeling her breath on his neck. His arm went around her waist and his leg moved up between hers, causing her body to press up against his, and her legs to twine together with him.
Morning came with the two of them still hanging onto each other.
"Wally," His mother whispered as she knocked and walked into his room. "It's time for school…"
She stopped as she spotted the two lying with one another as they had before as children; Wally wrapping around her protectively and her looking like a small doll in his arms. She smiled as she walked out of the room and brought a camera as she came back. She snapped a photo of the scene before exiting the room quickly and shutting the door.
"Might as well let them skip one day," She said with a large smile on her face.
Wally sniffed the air as the smell of bacon wafted in through the door and into his senses. His eyes cracked open as a happy groan left his lips. He started as his eyes refocused and registered a body in front of him.
He let out a pent up breath realizing it was Crystal, then blushed as he realized the position they were in. His arm was tightly around her waist and their legs twined together with his arm curled gently around her head as her pillow. A shiver went down his spine as she let out a deep sigh, and the air moved around his neck.
He groaned; his lower parts reacting to how close she was. He tried to move his leg from hers and his arm from out under her head, but it caused her to stir and press closer to him, her hips brushing against him. He sucked in a breath, his manhood out of his control as his body yearned to do things to her. His hand reached out and brushed the hair from her eyes, leaving his hand on the side of her face as he cupped her cheek gently. His head leaned forward as his eyes locked onto her moistened lips that were slightly parted from her breathing. His lips were about to touch hers when her eyes flitted open and she stared at him groggily.
"Good morning," She said sleepily, her lips brushing against his barely as she moved them.
She looked at him in the eye, then at his lips and how close they were to hers. He fumbled for words in his head, not knowing how to explain what he was doing.
"It's not what it looks like." He whispered, his body frozen where it was.
"Are you sure about that?" She asked, lifting an eyebrow at him, but not moving an inch either. "You know there are consequences for doing something like this."
He swallowed, closing his eyes and preparing for a lecture or a hit from her; both he knew he deserved in full. Instead he felt something warm press to his lips, making him freeze and his eyes to shoot wide open and stare in shock at Crystal. She had leaned into him, initiating the kiss instead, and pushing closer to him.
His mind grew foggy as they broke apart, and he pulled her to him once again, taking her lower lip between his. When they broke apart again their breathing was heavy and his arm had snaked its way up her back and shirt, revealing her legs, stomach, and underwear.
A knocking sounded on his door before his mom opened the door. Crystal had rolled onto her side and pulled the shirt down, and Wally had shot up to the edge of the bed and sat there. They made it look as if he had just gotten up and she moved over in her sleep.
"Oh, good you're awake!" She said happily. "Wake up Crystal for me, will you?"
"Will do," He groaned, nodding to his mom.
She left the room with a last peek at them with a sly smile on her face. When the door shut and they could hear the footsteps leave down the hallway, Crystal burst out laughing, her nerves slowing down from the rush in the morning.
"That was a closer call from my mom than I've ever had." Wally laughed, flopping onto his back, back on the bed.
Crystal slid her legs off the bed and stood up, walking around the bed and heading towards the closet. She opened it up and started looking for some of her clothes she stashed in there for last minute sleepovers. Wally watched her as the shirt moved back and forth a little under her butt; the neckline slipping off her shoulder and leaving it bare. Her hair moved across her shoulder and back as she tried moving all the clothes around. He stood up from the bed and walked over to her, feeling the cold air hit his bare upper body.
He kept her in his sights as the week's events flooded into his mind once again, and guilt seeping into every part of him, along with renewed relief for her safety. He wrapped one of his arms around her shoulders and arms, as the other went around her waist, his body curling into her back as he tried to keep her as close to him as possible.
"I'm sorry," He mumbled into her shoulder. "I'm so sorry. It was all my fault."
Crystal placed a hand over his and shook her head, a blush crashing over her face as her heart sped up in nervousness. "It's not your fault. Things just happened. It's not it was the first fight we had."
Wall let her go and walked backwards before sitting back on the bed with his hands running through his hair. "But those were over simple things, and I never acted as harsh as I did this time. I over reacted."
Crystal softened her gaze on him as she walked towards him and cupped his face, making him look up at her and in the eye. "You were just reacting to what I told you." Her eyes turned sad as they looked at him. "I thought you knew all this time, but instead I let it crash on you like a tsunami. And even worse I played with those feelings trying to make you jealous."
Wally stared at her in surprise as a smile crept across her face gently, reassuring him of her words. He wrapped his arms around her waist again as he laid his head on her stomach. "Trying to make me jealous." He laughed, making her feel embarrassed and guilty. "I think it more than did its job."
"I'm sorry," Crystal said, feeling guilty for even think of doing those things.
Wally scooted back and brought her in front of him, making her sit in front of him with her back to him. He curled around her once again with his arms hanging onto her gently.
He shook his head. "I'm at fault too. I ignored those feelings and they got more intense the more I did that. I guess I was just worried it would ruin our friendship we had."
Crystal relaxed against him, letting out a small airy laugh. "Honestly, I was worried about that too."
Wally kissed her exposed neck and smiled against him, smelling the Cherry Blossoms on her skin that seemed to stick with her everywhere; a natural scent on her skin. She turned her head to the side and looked at him, giving him a small smile.
"I guess we don't have to worry about that now huh?" He chuckled, moving one of his hands to cup her cheek and pull her forward, their lips barely brushing against one another.
"Wally! Did you wake her up?" His mother shouted, walking through the door.
She stopped and looked at the two who froze where they were before looking at her and quickly jumping apart with red faces and stuttering words, that was when she noticed her wearing his shirt that was no longer on him.
"Wally!" She said accusingly. "Did you…"
He looked at Crystal and flushed at the realization of what his mom was probably seeing in the room. "No!"
His father walked in behind her, wondering what the shouting was all about. He stopped and looked at the scene, the same his mother did when she walked in. He smiled and gave Wally a thumbs up with not even a word said.
His mother smiled and looked at the two of them and put her hand to her mouth as she let out a sigh. "It's about time you two got together. We've been waiting all this time."
"Good job sport." His dad said, winking at Crystal as she flushed even more and looked at the ground as she tugged on the t-shirt.
Wally smacked his forehead in disbelief of his parents. "You guys have been waiting?"
"Well, we both knew you two like one another, we were just betting on when you two would actually get together." His dad said with a smirk. "You two didn't hide it too well."
"Yes, I knew you two would be perfect for one another! I have been waiting for this day!" His mom let out a content sigh as she looked dreamily at the two. "Oh think of the fun things we can do now! I'm going to go tell your aunt!"
"Wait! Mom!" Wally shouted, jumping off the bed and reaching for her.
"You're in trouble now. She's probably going to get your aunt to announce it on the news." His dad joked around, but the two teens took it as an actual happening and looked at one another in horror.
"You may want to get changed." His dad told Crystal with a cough, looking into the hallway for politeness.
Crystal nodded her head as she raced to the closet again and searched through the clothes, finding one last pair of her clothes in there. She dragged out the denim shorts, light blue tank top, and short-sleeved denim jacket, and grabbed a pair of tennis shoes from the bottom of the closet. She slid them on quickly and put her hair into a ponytail, until she realized her last ponytail holder was gone. She sighed and let her hair fall and cascade over her back gently.
She looked behind her and saw Wally turning around also in different clothes; their routine of turning their backs to one another when changing. They smiled at one another and Wally walked over to her holding his hand out for her to take. She took it and laced their fingers together as they walked out of the room and into the living room.
"Oh! How cute!" His mother squealed looking at the two of them with a wide smile. "Yes! Their holding hands! It's so cute! I just knew it would happen soon!"
"We may have to run for it." Wally joked, looking at his mom then at Crystal.
Crystal let out a small laugh as she stared at his mother with mock horror. No sooner than when Crystal sat on the couch with Wally did his cell phone go off in his pocket.
"Hello?" Wally answered, putting the phone to his ear. He looked sideways at Crystal and let out a sigh. "Yeah, she's here."
He handed the phone to Crystal, making her look at him confused and unsure of whom was on the other line.
"Hello?" She asked unsurely. She smiled at the phone, giving a small laugh. "Yes, I'm fine, thank you. No we didn't go today." She began nodding her head, as if the other person could see her and not just hear her. "Okay, we'll be there in a bit."
She hung up his phone and handed it back to him.
"Was that Canary?" He asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, she things what happened may have scarred us in some way. So she wants to counsel us to help our brains." Crystal laughed, bumping his shoulder playfully.
"Let's escape while we still can." Wally whispered in her ear, moving his eyes quickly to his mom.
Crystal stood up quickly, dragging Wally with her once his mother turned around. Wally pointed to his phone as he looked at his dad, and his dad waved them off, knowing they were trying to leave before Wally's mom did anything.
They ran out the door quickly and down the street, heading for the cave where Canary was waiting for them. Crystal began to laugh as she tried to keep up with Wally and his speed, giving up as he raced ahead.
"That's cheating!" She shouted ahead, but he was out of sight.
A flash of light zoomed by her and circled back, picking her up and spinning her around before holding her bridal style. Wally smirked at her playfully as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his nose.
"That bug was about to kill you," He teased, mocking a hero's explanation to her.
"Oh, my hero!" She teased back. "Saving a damsel in distress. Such a gentleman."
"Nah, only you." He said with a cocky smirk.
He leaned down and gave her a sweet kiss which she deepened by pulling him closer to her. She nipped his bottom lip, making him let out a surprised grunt before smiling and pushing harder into the kiss. His tongue licked her bottom lip, asking for permission. She cracked her eyes open and noticed he was watching her with intense eyes that sent a shiver down her spine. She broke away trying to catch her breath before pushing back into Wally, this time allowing him access into her mouth, for which he happily tasted and explore, memorizing every detail there was.
"Ah, young love." An old man said as he walked by.
They pulled apart as their faces reddened simultaneously. They both had completely forgotten where they were. Wally set her down with a couch into his hand after, making the old man smile at their embarrassment. They linked hands and began their walk back towards the cave.
"Good you're here!" Canary said as they walked into the cave.
She stopped as she looked down at their linked hands and smiled as she placed her hands on her hips and gave them a knowing look.
"I see you aren't as troubled as I thought you'd be." She said with a small chuckle.
"All good." Wally said with his signature smile. "Got any cookies here?"
"Do we have to do the counseling?" Crystal groaned.
"No," Canary told them with a shake of her head. "I think you two coped pretty well for it."
Crystal smiled, walking towards the kitchen as she tugged Wally along. "Come on, I'll make some of my chocolate chip cookies."
Wally smiled as he raced towards the kitchen with a joyful shout and a skip. Crystal laughed and shook her head as she followed after at a slower pace. When she reached the kitchen she began making the cookie dough and then laid it out onto the sheets, having to smack Wally's hands a couple times to get him out of the dough.
"I don't care if your metabolism is faster than other's, get out of the cookie dough." She laughed at him.
She placed the sheet of cookies into the oven and took her oven mitts off before setting them on the counter.
"Don't touch that cookie dough." Crystal said sternly, turning to see a guilty Wally reaching for the bowl of cookie dough.
He shrugged his shoulders before taking a finger swipe through the dough and placing it in his mouth. He sauntered over to her and pushed her against the oven door, the heat radiating out of the cracks at the top.
"I see something much sweeter to eat." He told her, making her blush and look away.
Wally grabbed her chin and brought her face back to his, kissing her lips fervently as he pushed into her more. His tongue darted into her mouth as she tried to take a breath and made her groan in surprise at the sudden action. He smiled into the kiss and lifted her up onto the stove top. His hands rested at her hips as his arms wound their way around her waist and pulled her body to his; her legs automatically wrapping themselves around him.
"The cookies are going to burn," She gasped out, cracking her eyes open and looking at him groggily.
"They'll be fine," He told her in a groan, bringing her face back to his.
His hand found its way up her shirt as his fingers slid along her skin softly, feeling the smooth, soft skin. Dipping into the small of her back and going up her spine. She sucked in a ragged breath , making him smirk in pleasure at her reaction to his touch.
A crashing sound happened behind them, making Crystal pull away and stare behind Wally in confusion. Her face light up like a red alarm as she spotted Megan and Conner standing there with their jaws unhinged and wide eyes. Megan smiled and squealed as she floated into the air, clapping her hands in delight.
"I'm so happy for you two!" She squealed, spinning around in the air. She stopped as she realized the situation and grabbed Conner's quickly and dragged him away from the kitchen, leaving the two where they were before.
Wally let out an exasperated groan as he placed his head on her shoulder. "It seems people keep interrupting us."
"Just wait until the others hear about this." Crystal told him, making him groan even more in exasperation.
"Come on, it's not that bad," Crystal said, making him look up at her. "After all, we're together now."
She kissed his lips again, before pushing him back and sliding off the stove top just in time for the timer to go off. She finished the cookies and explained to Megan what happened as the martian begged to hear the details of what had happened.
"Yo!" Robin said, coming into the cave again.
The others followed behind him as they realized the school day was over. Megan floated up and flew straight towards them, delight radiating off her face.
"Did you hear? Did you hear?" She asked them excitedly.
"Hear what?" Kaldur asked, worry on his face.
"Crystal and Wally are together!" Megan shouted happily as Wally walked into the room, choking on the cookie he shoved into his mouth.
He looked at Crystal with wide eyes as she shrugged at him helplessly and mouthed a 'sorry' to him.
They looked at the two who stood there looking back at them with sheepish looks in their eyes. Their faces turned into big smiles as all of them cheered for the couple, knowing it was a great ordeal for the two to get to this point. Now all was as where it should be. But what they didn't know was the ordeals they would have to deal with later on.
