Two Days Later On The Front Porch Of the Elkins' House

Two days had passed since the confrontation with Tamara Pellek and her hired hands. A confrontation that saw Mark McMurray shot and end up in the hospital. Only to not survive his shooting much to Griff and the Mugwump's dismay. The Mugwump itself, as everyone would find out, hadn't even liked all the killing that Mark had made it do. As something like that had essentially been against its nature but because it was Mark, whom had such an influence on him, he had done it with great reluctance. But because it was the last of its kind and had proven itself to be a valuable part of the community, those in charge had voted to let him keep living in the city and its forested area. An area that had been established as a historical landmark so that it would never be touched and changed by human interests. This had pleased many in the town, Griff and the Mugwump especially. Griff was also offically put in charge of the creature's handling so that no one else would try and misuse it for personal gain.

As for Tamara and her bunch, they had all landed in jail while awaiting a transfer to a secure prison for their crimes. The rest of the remaining Pellek family members had even turned their backs on Tamara out of disgust and disappointment for her failures and sleeping with the hired help. Which they had felt was beneath a Pellek to do and more of a commoner's thing to do. Wally, after a lengthy phone call with Cisco, had even been able to repair his suit after a few purchases on his part and some speed reading to temporarily learn how to fix specialized clothing. And currently, he and Tommy were sitting outside on the front porch of the Elkins home. "Brother, I can't believe pops finally asked out Judy." Remarked Tommy amazedly with a chuckle as he thought of his dad doing that the previous night.

Wally also chuckled. "Guess he finally got tired of the teasin' and decided to do somethin' about it. My ears are still ringin' a little from her scream." He remarked as the two laughed and enjoyed themselves.

Her scream had even got the local police to show up since they thought something was wrong after a passerby had heard the screaming from inside her restaurant. "Oh yeah, pops has DEFINITELY made her year after finally askin' her out. I'm glad he finally did as maybe now I don't have to hear him make those little sighs of his."

Another chuckle came from Wally. "At least he's gettin' some happiness though."

"That Jesse girl?" Asked his friend as he noticed the saddened look on his friend's face.

"Yeah..."

"Bro, its her loss, alright? You did nothin' wrong and you'll find someone better then her. It could be today or tomorrow even, but you'll find her."

Wally let out a sigh, knowing his friend was right. But it would take him time until he felt he was past the hurt. "Thanks, Tommy. I appreciate it."

"No problem, brother. You'd do the same for me."

"Damn right I would."

The two shared a grin at this and silence would go on between the two for awhile as they enjoyed the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. "So..." Began Tommy, causing Wally to look at him curiously.

"Yeah?"

"Think I could do the hero thing? Call myself the 'Cherokee Kid' or somethin' like that." Wondered the Cherokee native with a grin.

Wally laughed but thought about it for a moment. "Hey, anything's possible out there."

"Yeah! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!" Cheered his friend as he stood up and fist pumped into the air while Wally looked on and chuckled in amusement.

After sitting down, Tommy then thought of something else. "That reminds me, I've heard there's this girl out in Arizona who can do things with the weather. Maybe we can look into it?"

"So long as she doesn't turn out to be another Weather Wizard, I'm down!"

Another cheer came from Tommy. "So, when do ya wanna go?"

"I guess as soon as we get the okay from your dad that its okay since he might still need ya."

Ohh man, I hope he's okay with it!

"Right, right, that works for me. Brother, this is gonna be awesome!" Cheered Tommy and Wally certainly hoped that would be the case!

A loud whistling noise could be heard coming through the air, prompting the two to step off the porch and see something on fire go hurtling through the air until it crashed a few blocks from them. "Well, don't see that everyday." Remarked Wally.

"Heh, ain't that the truth! Wanna check it out?"

Thinking about it for a moment, Wally decided that it couldn't hurt. Making his friend rather happy. "Hell yeah!"

Chuckling, the two of them headed off to where the crash site was. Not knowing it would be the start of a new problem for them and the townspeople to deal with! And once the alien Starfish was dealt with, Wally and Tommy would go on their trip to find the girl who could do things with the weather. Who would turn out to be real and known as Sarah Rainmaker, whom had gained her abilities through means that weren't related to the Particle Accelerator. She, along with various others in Arizona and outside of it would become great friends of the two. Though the boys and their new found friends would gain a few enemies along the way. Tommy, Sarah, Apache Chief, Jason Trujillo, the Manitous, and several others of Native American blood would even form a new team known as 'Soaring Freedom'. Dedicated to keeping peace and preserving their cultures when needed. Wally would even be named an honorary member as well.

Wally himself would go on to have many adventures, some with others and some just on his own before and after Barry and Iris' wedding. Though at one point, he and Linda Park after a Football game both had attended for different reasons in South Dakota, would end up on another Earth thanks to the Speed Force and unable to return. The two would spend a number of years there and even fall in love and have a family together. While there, Wally would even become the protector of Gotham City while a young Bruce Wayne learned what he needed to in order to become his city's protector after dealing with his guilt of killing Ra's Al Ghul. Bruce and Alfred had even kindly allowed the two to stay with them for a time until they could manage to be on their own. Even helping them get identities and the like established so that they could get jobs and whatever else they needed until they could return.

Interestingly enough, while years had passed for the two on the Earth they had ended up on, only a few days would pass for those on Earth-1. Those who knew them having no idea what was going on until Cisco woke up with his powers acting up, telling him of what was going on and then with the rest of the team, getting Wally and Linda back to Earth-1 from their current point in time with their kids. Which was quite a shock to Joe and Iris for sure!

July 2018 STAR Labs, Earth-1

A portal opening had brought the team, minus Wally as he was off doing something else, to the portal room. Each of them hoping this wasn't a threat for them to deal with since they were all rather enjoying the peace Central City was currently enjoying since the defeat of the Thinker. To their surprise however, it was none other then Jesse herself who was coming through the portal! "Jesse!?" Got out a stunned Harry as it had been months since he'd last seen his daughter.

The fact she looked rather roughed up greatly alarmed him. Not to mention the fact that a bit of fire had come out of the portal behind her right before it closed up! "It… Its gone! They're all gone!" Cried out the girl tearfully as she began to collapse with her father managing to thankfully catch her before she could fall onto the hard floor.

Her unconscious state would freak the father out considerably as he yelled out her name. Wanting desperately to know what had happened to his little girl and what she had meant by her words so that he could go and cause a great deal of pain to whomever hurt her!

Author's Notes: I had, originally, intended on doing several stories set after this that would explore Wally and Tommy meeting up with Sarah Rainmaker (of Gen 13 fame) and other characters. But due to the lack of feedback and the like for this, I've decided that perhaps its best I not do that. Though I may explore the living in Gotham bit in its own fic one day. But if folks want to see fics that deal with meeting Sarah and the others Wally meets up with, do let me know!

As for Jesse… What happened to her is something I intend to flesh out more in its own story when I get around to it. R and R!
