THANKS FOR THE EVERYTHING. I STILL AM GRIEVING WALLY'S DEATH.

Chapter 18

Wally ran as fast as she could at a human pace. She didn't want Batman to track her not that he trusted her anyway. Maybe she should take her grandfather up on his offer and join the Shadows but that would be going against what her parents wanted for her. Mary and Rudy had both left the Shadows to give her a normal life and Aunt Iris followed a short time later.

The young speedster just didn't know what to do! No one seemed to trust her anymore. The only people that she could count on were the Shadows, Damian and hopefully Roy. Wally just had to find Roy and talk to him.

So Wally headed into an abandoned building to change into her Kid Flash uniform and zeta to Star City where she could meet up with Roy. Unknown to the young speedster a Shadow was following her by orders of Ra's Al Ghul from the time she arrived in Star City. The man may be a criminal mastermind but he was still a loving father and grandfather.

Wally made it to a building that Roy was known to hang out in from time to time. She was just hoping that Roy was at the place she really needed to talk to someone.

Luck was on Wally's side as she spotted Roy in his Red Arrow gear sitting on the roof of a building. The teen speedster sped up the side of the building till she was right beside Roy who grunted a hello to her.

"Red, do you have a few moments to talk?" Wally asked as she came up beside friend that had stuck with her since she revealed that she was related to a member of The Light.

"What's up KF?" Roy asked as he turned around to see the distress look on his best friend's face.

Wally told Roy everything from her offer to lead the League of Shadows and Batman not trusting her.

"That's one of the reasons why I left that group and pursue my own life. I'm not saying that you should join the Shadows but maybe they could benefit from a hero leading them and maybe change for the better." Roy said to Wally who slightly smiled.

"Thanks Red, I knew that I could count on you to cheer me up." Wally replied as she leaned in and gave Roy a kiss on the cheek causing Roy to turn red. "You've given me a lot to think off."

Roy gave Wally a grin and a hug. He was not one for public displays of affection but he knew that Wally needed a friend.

"Whatever choice you make I'll support you." Roy told his friend who had supported him when he went solo and had defended him when Artemis who he was starting to respect came onto the team.

"Thanks again Red." Wally replied as she stood up and headed down to the street.

Roy did one of his rare smiles as he watched his best friend leave the rooftop.

Wally speed down the streets at a normal speed that was slow for her but she wanted to take in the scenery and think. It was true that her mother's side of the family wanted her to join the League of Shadows and maybe she could like what she told Roy was make the Shadows good or maybe even neutral in the current situation but if she left the team then she would never be welcomed back on the team and she would be treated as a villain.

Wally just wanted to scream bloody murder. She just didn't know what to do. She tensed when she felt a hand on her shoulder that was not familiar to her. Acting on instinct Wally grabbed the hand and flipped the person that was behind her over her shoulder.

The person countered with with a back flip of their own.

Wally now got a look at who was following her and realized that if the person that was following her wanted to kill her she would have done so a long time ago.

"Hello Mehira."

"Hello Cheshire. Why are you following me?" Wally asked glaring at the cat themed assassin.

"Your grandfather sent me to check up on you."

Wally let out a sigh. Her grandfather was just as bad as her uncle and Batman when it came to looking out for her.

"Also I seen you making moves on Red Arrow." Cheshire grinned.

Wally turned red at the thought of being spied on during a time alone with Roy.

"Oh don't worry little Princess, I'm not here to fight you for him as I have seen the way he looks at you is a way that he would never be able to look at me." The cat themed Shadow pointed out.

Wally just looked at the villain that was her teammate's older sister with a calculating eye but could tell that the villainess was telling the truth about Roy.

"Cheshire, can you do me a favor and tell my grandfather that I just may consider his request about leaving the Justice League for the Shadows under one condition. The condition is that Damian stays where he is at as the brat deserves to have a normal life with his father." Wally told the Asian Shadow.

"What brought this change on?" Cheshire asked as her eyes went wide at the sudden change in the normally loyal Mini Justice League member.

"Batman."

"Say no more kid. That says enough." Cheshire pointed out.

"How can I stay on a team when someone who I respect and trust doesn't even trust me." Wally told the assassin.

"You need to make your own choice Princess but I can tell you this. You need to make sure that your choice is what you want not what your family wants." Cheshire told the young speedster who looked ready to cry.

"You really are Artemis's older sister." Wally said with a smile though tears wee still in her eyes.

"You know it." Cheshire replied with a grin. "Why don't you head back to your base before that mentor of yours sends out the search party."

Wally let out a laugh as that was exactly what Barry would do if she wasn't home in a few minutes. That man was such a mother hen at times.

"Thanks for the chat Cheshire. I needed to talk to someone that was not a part of the League or the team." Wally told the cat themed Shadow.

"Anytime Princess."

"Just one question before you leave. Why DO you call me Princess?" Wally asked.

"A couple of reasons. One is just to annoy you and the other is because that is who you are. You are the granddaughter of Ra's Al Ghul thus making you a Princess of the League of Shadows. Your mother held the title of Princess and so does Damian's mother. You may leave the Shadows but they will always be there for you." Cheshire explained as she put on her mask. "Always know that no matter what happens in your life and what side you should choose you will always have the support of the Shadows for once a Shadow always a Shadow."

Wally watched as Cheshire disappeared into the shadows via a smoke bomb with a smile on her face. It was funny that that a trained killer was being more of a mentor than a mentor that she had known since she started being a hero.

Next chapter Wally makes her choice on who team she wants to be on.
