"Hey~" a voice pulled my attention away from the television. "How's my favorite marksgirl?"
"I'm the only marksman you know besides Ollie and Roy, Wally," I responded, seeing the redhead at the door.
In a flash, no pun intended, Wally was at my side, collapsing back on the comfortable sofa.
"Oh man," he sighed out comfortably. "I love this house..."
I shook my head at the speedster's attention span. Even when I was sick, mine was longer. "Where's Dick?" I chose to ask instead.
"I swear, you two can't go a day without each other," Wally commented.
I frowned, turning to look at the redhead. "I can!"
"No," Wally rejected the idea. "Seriously. An amazing, handsome, bright-eyed freckled, cu-"
"Get to the point already," I cut him off before he could go on about himself.
Wally cleared his throat and looked at me pointedly. "My point is... the moment I sat down next to you, you just asked about Dick. All through training yesterday and today, he didn't seem himself... It's like you two are two pieces in a puzzle. Like you guys aren't complete without each other."
"Of course," I responded easily. "He's my other half."
Wally looked at me like he wanted to say something, but held himself back. Instead, he told me, "And to answer your question, he was sent out with Superboy to stop some hijack." Then he looked at me and realized I was still in baggy pajamas, which were my sick pajamas, and wrapped in a blanket. "How's your cold?"
"I should be alright by tomorrow," I replied. "It's just a precaution thing Alfred and Bruce have me on. I feel a lot better today and I did yesterday. I think it was one of those short, twenty-four hour sicknesses."
Wally nodded, understanding, before tossing an arm around the couch and around me. "Well, don't worry. If anything happens, Big Brother Wally will be there."
I let out a soft giggle. "You're a dork."
"Hey, admit it: I'd make one of the best older brothers. Obviously not the best since you're biased towards Dick. But maybe second-best?"
"Nah, third-best. I like Roy more than you."
"Ouch, babe."
Roy might've been my best friend after Dick, but I had no doubts that I'd trust Wally with my life. It's just fun to tease him.
