As Wally left the store, he mused where he should "hide out".

Not somewhere well known… Maybe the West Coast somewhere? Or Canada? Somewhere near Canada? Or should I leave the country?

Looking at a map in a gas station, Wally found the perfect place…

Not many people knew that Wally was a good cook. Hey, he had to learn something from Aunt Iris, and Uncle Barry was a horrible cook. How did he survive without Wally, Aunt Iris, and takeout? This came to Wally's advantage when he found a job at Cindy's Featherville Café.

"Hello, my name is Wally, and I'll be your waiter today. What would you like to drink?" The homey café was empty except for a little old lady. The lady smiled back.

"Just water, Wally. Are you new?" Wally returned with the woman's water and answered.

"Yes. Ms. Cindy is nice enough to let me stay with her while I look for some place to rent. But I can't stay there forever." He smiled. "I don't want to intrude on her hospitality."

"I could rent you a bed in my loft. It would be… $100 plus you help me cook? I'm getting old and stiff you know." She said jokingly.

"I'm sorry Miss…?"

"Gloria. Gloria Smith."

"I'm sorry Ms. Smith, but I can't accept. I need to come to work, and I eat a lot. I can't accept."

"My property is just down the road, and I can help with groceries. How about $75? Please? I need all the help I can get."

"Oh, alright. When is the rent due?"

"Oh, whenever. As long as you clean up after yourself, and it's once a month, I don't care."

"Where do you live?"

"I can show you after I eat."

"Oh! Uh, what would you like to eat?" Wally asked sheepishly.

"Just a club sandwich, Wally. And call me Gloria." Wally stood up and jotted down her order.

"Alright, I'll be back with your order, Ms. Gloria."

"Where is he?" Tony hissed as he slammed his hands down on the desk.

"Still haven't found him?" Bruce walked into the computer lab, sympathetic. Tony had been searching for several days, almost a week, without results. The last time they had spotted the target, it had been in Virginia.

"Maybe you're losing your touch." Clint commented snidely as he entered the lab also.

"I'd like to see you try," Tony shot back.

"Sure," Clint shrugged and walked over.

"Oh no. You are not touching my babies!"

"Well, why not?" This sparked an argument that went on for several minutes with Bruce trying to break them up.

Bing. The computer chimed softly, as Clint yelled:
"Yeah, well, you have an ego the size of New Jersey, tin-head!"

"Don't you dare compare me to NEW JERSEY!"

"Sir," Jarvis toned softly.

"WHAT!?" Tony bellowed.

"There appears to be a 72% match."

"Oh."

"Aunt Gloria!" a cheerful girl called out as she climbed the steps of the red cabin.

"Hmmm, Hay?" Gloria called from her chair. Hay reached the deck that her aunt was located on, and sat down next to her.

"Grandma and Dad are making a big batch of deviled eggs for the wedding, and we ran out of paprika. Do you have any?"

"Just a minute, let me ask Wally." The aunt said as she got up and entered the cabin. Curious, Hay followed.

"Wally?" she asked. Aunt Gloria smiled, and continued traveling towards the stairs.

"Wally?" she called, "Will you help me find something?"

"Sure, Ms. Gloria. Just give me a minute." A male voice floated back down the stairs. Gloria finally answered Hay's questioning look.

"I'm renting a bed in my loft. His name is Wally West."

Wally West, Hay mused as she sat back down, where have I heard that name before…?

"Hello…?" There was a hand waving in front of her face, and-breaking her concentration- the hand's owner came into view.

Red hair… Green eyes… Faded freckles…

"Holy crap!" Hay said as she remembered where she had heard that name before. And then she fell out of the chair.

Earlier that week…
