I own nothing
Dick sat in the waiting room at the hospital. It seemed like he had just sat down when Rudolph West stormed in looking like he was about to strangle someone.
"Allen!"
Barry stood up but said nothing.
"What the fuck did you do to my son? I leave him with you for a week and you land him in the goddamn hospital? What have done?" Rudolph's face had turned an interesting shade of purple. Dick made sure to stay as far away from him as possible. "And you!" Rudy rounded on Dick. So much for staying away. "You were with him! You're a little-" Rudolph was towering over him. He smelled... strange. Dick wasn't quite sure what it was.
"Leave my son out of this!" Barry interjected.
"Maybe if you didn't blow MY son to hell I would!"
"Well maybe if you treated him like your son he wouldn't pull this kind of crap!"
"Don't you dare try to blame this on me!"
"No, I will! He did this because he doesn't want to be like you, and I can't blame him! When was the last time you did anything with him?"
"Shut up! I'm not spending money on that sappy bullshit! I've got a family to feed!"
"You wouldn't have that problem if you could hold a job and go ten minutes without a beer now, wouldn't you!" Even Dick knew that Barry had gone to far with that one.
"How dare you!" Rudy lunged at him, but they were both grabbed by hospital security. Barry hung there like a limp puppet, while Rudy thrashed around like a dying fish.
A nurse popped her head through the door a little later to say that Wally was stable and that people could see him. Dick, Iris, and Mary were on their feet in the blink off an eye. The three of them were led down a hall and into his room. Wally was wide awake, chatting it up with the hospital technician. When he saw them he lit up.
"Mom! Iris! Dick!" he paused for a second. "Where are Dad and Barry?"
Mary and Iris shifted uncomfortably. Dick piped up. "They had a fight out in the waiting room."
Wally's face fell, but then he perked up again. "Well, at least you guys are here! Guess what Dick? They had to use a IV on me! And then I needed one of those oxygen mask thingies! Isn't that awesome?"
Dick wasn't exactly sure what part of that was supposed to be cool, but Wally was back to normal, so that was good. Mary, on the other hand, had gasped in terror when Wally had said this. Dick had a feeling Wally was in for a long night.
Wally got to go home that night with his parents. Dick, Barry, and Iris went home to. Iris gave Barry a stern lecture about his behavior at the hospital. Dick shrank back in his seat, trying to disappear. Barry and Iris didn't get mad at each other often, and neither had his mother and father, so he didn't really know what to do. He just looked out the window and watched lights fly past.
A/N: Yes, I know that it is incredibly short. I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses, but I've been working on my other story more. Once I finish that updates on this one will be much longer and more frequent.
