Previously:
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.
And now...
"Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah. Are you Wally?"
"Yes. How did you know?"
"Oh, Aunt Gloria told me." Hay said in a slightly higher voice.
"Oh, so that's how you know Ms. Gloria! But I believe you were looking for the paprika?" Wally produced the spice bottle from his pocket, after helping Hay up.
"Oh, thanks." Hay's mind was racing on how to get Wally away from Aunt Gloria. "...Hey, why don't you come and meet my family? You'll meet them sooner or later, why not sooner?"
"That sounds like a good idea. Why not Wally?"
Wally looked almost bewildered by fast everything seemed to be moving, but if he was who Hay suspected him of being, he was processing pretty fast.
"C'mon Wally, let's go." Hay grabbed his hand after slipping the paprika into her back pocket, and practically dragged Wally out the door.
"Sooo... When's your birthday?"
Wally could not see where this line of questioning was going, but he was still hesitant to answer the brunette next to him.
"November 11th... Why?"
"Oh, just curious. I've just met you, I want some info." He could tell something was off about Hay's expression., but not what exactly.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Yeah..."
"What's her name?"
"Artemis... Again, why?"
"Information!"
"Are you a stalker or something?"
Hay mumbled something along the lines of "Somewhat..."
"What?"
"Oh, nothing, nothing. So, tell me, are you Flash, or Kid Flash?"
"WHAT?" Wally almost panicked. Almost.
Hay repeated the question.
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, Wally, don't play dumb with me. I know your probably way out of your league right now, and you need all the help you can get. So. Are you Flash, or Kid Flash?"
"What I want to know is how you know that name."
Hay shrugged. "I'm a comic book nerd. You do realize that you're a comic in this world, right?"
"Wait, wait, what?"
Hay turned to look at Wally speculatively. "You look about... 20, and your girlfriend is Artemis..."
Her eyes widened.
"Those sonuvabich writers! You're from the YJ world!"
"YJ?" Hay waved him off.
"There are so many DC worlds out there, that for all I know, we could be in one where some fan-girl dreamed us up."
"What?"
"Nevermind. The point is, you are NOT supposed to be here, and you need to get home."
"Umm... And how do I do that when I'm in hiding?" Hay paused.
"Who're you hiding from?"
"Some people who called themselves 'Shield'."
Hay looked gobsmacked. "What?"
"SHIELD!?" she nearly shrieked, and Wally winced, "You're hiding from freakin' SHIELD!?"
"Yeah...So?" That launched Hay into a rant about who Shield was, and just how screwed Wally was.
"So... Does that mean you know who 'Professor Xavier' is?"
Hay looked gobsmacked for the second time in just over five minutes.
"Damn. You're really popular, you know that?"
"...So, tell me. Why am I doing this again?"
It had been several days since Wally had met Hay, and she was finally putting what she called 'The Master Plan' into action.
"Because it's part of the plan!"
"And that would be...?"
"Knowing Shield, after you beat those agents up, they'll consider you as a threat. And if you are a threat, they'll send the Avengers after you."
"and who are they again?"
Hay face-palmed.
"Like the Justice League, only they have no defined leader, and they fight a lot more."
"Define 'a lot'."
"Imagine a dog and a cat. Multiply that by ten."
"Oh."
"Yes, 'oh'. Anyway, if the Avengers are after you, that means Tony Stark is tracking you. And since he's a hacker, anywhere with cameras will suffice."
"And that's why were walking around Wal-Mart like idiots?"
"Yes, that's why we're browsing around Wally-World. I'm trying to get you seen by as many cameras as possible."
"And how long will this take?"
"Depending on how hard they're looking, anywhere from a few hours to a few days."
Hay and Wally passed a red-haired woman and a blond man that appeared to be a couple. She also spotted a brown-haired, mousy looking man about twenty feet ahead of them.
"...Okay, KF, time to go."
"Why? What's with the name change?"
"I believe they reacted much quicker than I expected. We better leave."
"Why?"
"Do you want a confrontation here, in such a public place?" she hissed. "Better somewhere fairly deserted... Like the field across the street from my house. Let's go!"
