Sorry for taking so long to update, but I hope this makes up for it expect the next chapter up very soon. I had a little trouble writing this, but here it is thank you all for being patient.

Whatever Eve was expecting Wally to say it sure wasn't anything like she thought it would be. She knew Wally had rough life and sometimes she would think she knew his pain. Eve mentally kicked herself for even thinking her life on the Axiom was hard, if anything Wally would trade anything to have what she had. Wally stayed behind in his old home, while Eve walked back to have lunch ready when Wally returned.

Flashback

30 years earlier…

"Wally we have to go we can't stay here!" "I'm not leaving anyone behind Steven; you can go back if you have to" Steve looked at Wally with a surprised look as he slowly made his way back home "You come back you got it?" Wally nodded and made a break for it into the city not knowing what he was getting himself into. Wally hid and crept his way to the corner his mother always worked. He knew he was getting close because the buildings starting to look familiar. He bumped into someone rounding a corner. "Wally what the heck are you doing here?" he knew that voice "Danny?" a woman in her mid 30's was right behind him her hazel eyes nearly bulging out her eye sockets. "Wally honey what are you doing here?" "I came to find you guys, make sure you were alright" An explosion rang out a few streets down, all three could see and hear the people screaming as they burned to death. "Run!" Wally's mother took both children and ran as fast as they could.

Wally was terrified he had no idea what was happening or why, all he knew was to get back home. He could already see the bridge they had to cross to get back home "There the bridge! Come on we're almost there!" There victory was short lived as another explosion brought one of the already shaky buildings right down. Wally's mother stopped them just in time as the rubble and dust hit them full force. "Mom… *cough**cough* Mom!" "I'm right here *cough*, are you ok?" "Yeah, Danny *cough* what about you?" "I'll be fine *cough*" The building blocked their path to the bridge and a mob of what the adults called the ferals were getting closer even Wally knew they couldn't turn back. "Mom what do we do?" Wally's mother looked frantic and spotted a hole that the children could easily fit through, but it was too small for her. "Kids this way hurry!"

"Danny hurry in here quick" Danny squeezed into the small gap when it hit him, it's too small. He turned his head with tears in his eyes as he looked at the woman that was saving his life. "Wally go on you next" "Let's go mom" he tugged at her sleeve, but she wouldn't budge. "Danny take Wally home you always took care of him, there is no reason to stop now" "Mom what are talking about?" Wally was confused was she not coming? "Honey just go they're coming" Wally tears were pouring out "Why don't you want to come back home?" she pulled him into the strongest hug that she could manage "I will always love you, never forget that" Danny grabbed Wally by his shirt and pulled him in. She looked at Danny, her hazel eyes turning red from the river of tears that didn't seem to stop. She somehow managed to form a warm smile "I'll tell your father you said hi" with that he tried to wipe away the tears that kept coming like a dam about to burst. Wally's cries made his heart sink even more "MOM PLEASE COME BACK MOM!"

Danny had to drag Wally to the bridge the rest of the way. "Wally we have to keep going come on" Danny tried to hold back sobs that would eventually come out. "Danny we have to go back we can't leave her!" "Wally she's gone!" Wally looked at him wondering why he would say something like that. His face said it all his eyes were bloodshot and his face was covered in dried and new tears that showed he hadn't stopped crying the whole time, Wally looked the same way. He stumbled to try and regain his footing his mother was gone and he couldn't do a thing. The bridge was only a few meters away. Wally thought the world was crumbling down, he couldn't see straight and stumbled to the ground. Danny heard Wally fall instead of hearing thud he heard a frightening snap and crunch that was obviously a bone breaking. He jerked a bit wondering what happened and was horrified. He didn't know what it was, but it was obviously some kind of trapping mechanism, it looked like a small metal mouth with teeth. Wally let out a painful scream when he saw what happened he didn't even feel the pain, probably due to him going into shock. Danny knelt down and thought crazy bastards set up booby traps too. The metal shut itself hard enough to break every bone in Wally's wrist and cut the artery, even if Danny got him out he would probably bleed to death.

The he remembered something that happened to a worker one day, a large object landed on his leg pining him to the ground. He survived by using the laser cutter in his wrist to cut off his leg and also stop the bleeding. He steeled himself "Wally I'm sorry" he cut 1 inch from the wound making a sizzling sound as it went through. "AHHHHHH" Wally screamed his head off and finally passed out from the pain.

The next thing he knows he woke up hours later with a prosthetic hand where his own hand used to be. It was crude and simple, but it served its purpose. He looked around he was back home. He slowly made his way outside when the person that acted as his doctor saw him stumble out. "Wally you shouldn't be wondering around yet" "Mr. Roberts?" "Come on let's get you back to bed" Wally's head was throbbing and remembered the events that happened earlier that day. "Where is… Danny" Mr. Roberts froze he didn't want to be the one to tell him this. "Wally I'm sorry… He didn't make it" Wally heart stopped "What do you mean?" "The bridge collapsed when he was carrying you across we managed to get you out in time, but we couldn't find him" His world went black as his head hit the pillow again.

Wallace and Wendy were happily eating their lunch Eve had prepared for them. "Mom what's taking dad so long?" "Honey don't bother your father so much right now ok? He has a lot going on right now" Wendy gave her brother a confused look and shrugged. Eve looked out the window and saw the part of the city Wally had told her about. He lost his mother and best friend on the same day. It hit him pretty hard since he looked up to Danny like any child would want something like that, a father or older brother, Wally didn't have either of those things. She just hoped he can deal with those shadows now.
