The founders stared down at Wally. He shifted uncomfortably under their gaze.

"Talk to us," Shayera said.

"I'm okay," Wally repeated.

"Wally," Diana said sternly.

"Please just tell us," Clark said. Wally tried to hide the tears that were streaming down his face.

"I can't." he said.

"Why not?" John asked.

"I'm embarrassed," Wally said.

"Why?" Diana asked.

"I just am." he said.

"Back off of him," Bruce said.

"Bruce we need to know what's bothering him," Clark said.

"He doesn't have to tell us." he said.

"Fine." Clark agreed everyone else backed off. They all walked out of the room.

"What do you know that we don't?" Diana asked.

"Bruce is easing up on Wally because I asked him to," J'onn said.

"Why?" Shayera asked.

"There are some things you just have to face alone." he said.

"Not when you have friends." she said.

"I have felt the darkness that resides with those memories. The kind of darkness that needs to be shared willingly and not forced out." J'onn said.

"We could help him," Diana said.

"I think that might be just what he's avoiding," Bruce said. Wally listened through the door and slid down the wall as tears started again.

Earth-16(1 month after Wally)

Connor and M'gann sat together on the Watchtower overlooking the Earth.

"Wally would have hated seeing us all torn up like this." she said.

"What do you think he would say about us being back together?" he asked.

"About time," M'gann said.

"Took you long enough," Connor said.

"I never liked Lagaan anyway." she said.

"This is how it's supposed to go." he said.

"All of that," M'gann said.

"And so much more," Connor said.

"I miss him." she said.

"Me too." he said kissing her forehead and pulling her closer to him.

Later that day Connor was standing by the holographs. He noticed Tim wandering around aimlessly.

"Something wrong Tim?" Connor asked.

"Just thinking." he stated.

"About Wally or Jason?" Connor asked.

"How well did you know Jason?" Tim asked.

"He was a friend. We were close enough that I want to rip Joker's head off for what he did to him," he said.

"Why haven't you?" Tim asked.

"I haven't run into the Joker since," Connor said.

"If you did would you do it?" he asked.

"If not I would definitely come close," Connor replied.

"I wish I could have known him," Tim said.

"I think you would've liked him." he said.

"I'm sorry that people keep dying," Tim said.

"Me too." Connor said, "I guess it comes with the job. You just don't think about it until you're there."

"Yeah." he agreed, "Thanks for talking with me."

"Anytime," he said.


Wally sat in his garage. He just found out that his Uncle Barry was the Flash and found his notes on the experiment. Wally grabbed out his Chemistry kit and began recreating the experiment. There was an explosion and Wally was thrown back onto the floor. He blacked out and woke up in the hospital.

"What happened?" Wally asked. Iris let out a sigh of relief.

"What were you thinking Wallace?" Iris scolded.

"I'm sorry Aunt Iris," he said. She sighed again.

"It's okay. You're okay." Iris muttered, "You're lucky your Uncle Barry found you when he did."

"Where is Uncle Barry?" Wally asked.

"In the hall beating himself up over this." she said.

"I'm really sorry." he said.

"Just get better and then we'll talk about it," Iris said standing up and walking out of the room.


A few hours later Wally walked into his apartment and threw his keys on the table. Nicole was sitting on the couch.

"I want to go back." she stated.

"I know." he said.

"I mean now. I don't want to waste time anymore." Nicole stated.

"What happened?" Wally asked.

"It doesn't matter anymore. I'm ready to go home," she said.

"Then let's do it." he said.

"You aren't going to fight with me on this?" Nicole asked.

"Absolutely not. I want to go home." Wally said. She smiled and nodded.

"Then let's do this," Nicole said.
