Chapter 15
It had been over a month since Wally and his friends and family had come to Odyn to help him get rid of the Red Lantern Rage that was in his body. The young speedster wished that he could have said that he was making great progress but that was not the case. It seemed that every time Wally had made some progress something would happen that would cause the red headed speedster to lose control.
Saint Walker as well as Razer began to realize that something else was preventing Wally from ridding himself of the Rage. Something that was buried deep inside of his mind. Something that Wally was afraid to let come out. Something that Wally was afraid to let go of.
Razer watched as Wally who had been with out a Blue Lantern Shield for the past three weeks but was still prone to Rage attacks eat his lunch. The former Red Lantern was amazed at how much a 16 year old human could eat but was even more shocked at how much his mentor who was older and more developed in his powers eat almost 4 times as much food as his nephew.
The archers, Roy and Artemis had started to be civil towards each so that they could help Wally but that did not mean that they would be fiends, at least for the time being. They just knew that there was more important matters out there than their fighting. It would seem that both archers knew the importance of being a friend first more than anything.
As the humans and Lanterns were eating Saint Walker felt a strange gust of wind and judging by the way Razer and the others were acting it would have appeared that they had felt and sensed the same thing.
Barry due to years of being both a Hero and CSI to know just by looking at the faces of Razer and Walker that something was wrong. Something that could turn into something very bad.
Barry shot his wife a look that he used all the time to let her know that she would need to get Wally, The Archers and herself to the Safe House that Saint Walker had set up in case that something would happen.
Before anyone could say anything, Wally let out a scream of pure pain as well of rage and doubled over in pain. It didn't take everyone long to know that what was felt was related to the Red Lanterns or worse.
"Wally, calm down!" Barry yelled as he changed into his Flash outfit and have Artemis and Roy put a mask over their faces to hide their identities. Flash had to roll his eyes at what his wife had grabbed to defend herself. Iris had grabbed one of the larger Cast-iron Frying pans that she had brought along on the trip. Barry knew that his wife was wicked with a frying pan due having been hit a few times when he and Iris were dating and he had one time surprised Iris in his Flash suit and scaring the daylights out of her witched caused the red haired woman to swing and she had nailed him right in the forehead which knocked him out for the day.
Wally just glared at his uncle and let out a yell that would make the devil's blood run cold. What Flash saw in his son's eyes that no one else could see made his blood run cold. Wally's eyes were void of any emotion and were blacker than black. The younger Speedster looked like something out of a horror film. If Flash didn't know any better he could have sworn that Wally was growing fangs but was not happening but the aura was there.
Razer and Walker didn't waste anytime in getting a Blue Shield around the teenager as they knew something very bad was going to happen. The Shield was meant to protect Wally as well as the non Lanterns in the area.
But something happened that no one could ever think of. Wally would normally calm down when the Blue Lantern's would put the Shields around him but this tie putting the shields only seemed to intensify The Rage that was controlling Wally.
Razer's eyes went wide when Wally let out another roar of rage that caused him and Walker to be unable to hold their shields and sending them back several feet.
Roy and Artemis hid behind a table as they saw their friend go berserk. For the first ever the two archers were scared out of their minds. This was not the Wally that they had known. If fact this couldn't be Wally.
Roy knew that he had anger issues and acted out a lot with them but what he was getting from his Little Brother was nothing like he had ever seen. The anger that the older red head was feeling was making him sick but Roy knew that he had to keep focused so that he could help his brother.
Artemis felt like she was going to throw up. The pure aura of anger coming from Wally was unreal. Artemis knew that just like everyone that everyone has bouts of anger in you no matter how good you were. But it just seemed that since Wally had gotten the Green Lantern ring that had been turned into a Red Lantern ring by the leader of The Red Lanterns.
"Walker, what's happening?" Flash yelled out as he looked at the leader of the Blue Lanterns who was trying his best to put a shield over Wally while Razer was standing up after being thrown back.
"I do not know. I have never seen anything like this before." The monk replied back.
"Before you say anything, remember that I never had this much rage when I was being treated and became a Blue Lantern." Razer yelled back knowing that Flash was going to say something.
The screaming went on for what seemed like forever but in reality only a few minutes had passed. Wally had calmed down but was still glowing red but not the red that was normal for Red Lanterns. The red that was surrounding Wally was so red that blood was lighter.
"Wally?" Iris said as she looked at her nephew who was more like a son to her.
Wally lifted his head which caused everyone to gasp even Razer who wasn't one to show fear that much. What caused everyone to gasp minus Flash who had seen the eyes was the fact that Wally's eyes were no longer the vibrate green that showed kindness. Wally's eyes were dark and lifeless almost like he had no soul. Wally's canine teeth also were longer and sharper. Wally had fangs.
"Wally?" Artemis asked as she got up from behind the table that she and Roy were hiding behind and walked over to her teammate.
Wally turned his head towards the Female archer. Artemis breathed a sigh of relief but it was short lived as Artemis was sent flying by a blast of deep red light. Roy caught her before she hit the ground.
"Wally! What's going on with you?" Flash yelled in concern at his son in all but blood.
Wally didn't give a reply only a grin that reminded the older speedster of a predator stalking their prey. Flash knew just by looking at Wally that there was something very bad had happened.
"Wally, you must calm down child. We are here to help you." Walker told the young speedster as he approached in a slow and steady pace. In all of his years, Saint Walker had never seen anything like this before. It would seem that somehow the Rage inside of the young human had come to the surface just as it would have appeared to have disappeared. But something else could also be wrong.
"Oh No!" Razer's cry of surprise brought Walker out of his thoughts.
"Razer, what is it" Walker asked as he suspected that the former Red Lantern knew what was going on.
"I thought that it was just a myth but it seems to be true." Razer spoke as he put up shields around everyone to protect them from the human that he had come to like.
"WHAT IS JUST A MYTH?" Iris yelled as she watched her son lose control once again.
"When I first became a Red Lantern I was told that each Lantern Corps has something that you could call the course of what fuels the Main Battery which fuels the travel Batteries. They are called Entities and from what I was told that each Entity that represent the Lantern Corps was form by the first form of the emotion ever shown. What I was also told was that the Entities can sometime possess a Lantern that represent their emotion. It would seem that the Red Lantern's Entity which I know is called The Butcher has some how possessed Wally due to him have a Red Power Ring." Razer explained as he focused all his power on keeping the shield up to protect everyone.
"But Wally also had a Green Lantern Power Ring? Shouldn't that have stopped this from happening?" Flash yelled as he watched his now possessed nephew attack them.
"That could have happened if Wally had the Will Power to do that. But thanks to what happened on Earth and what some of the other Green Lanterns had said, it seemed that The Rage had overcame Wally's will power to fight." Razer replied.
"Oh Lovely. Thanks to those brats that have the nerve to call themselves Wally's teammates and those trolls from Oa, my son is now possessed by the purest form of Rage that could ever exist." Flash growled out. He was going to be doing some major yelling as well as some beat downs on many people and aliens.
"That is correct Flash of Earth." 'Wally' said only you could tell that the voice wasn't Wally. The now possessed Wally gave another grin to everyone. "This body is young and filed with so much Rage that it was very easy to brainwash that fool of a Red Lantern Atrocitus to talk to Wally who was going through trying to figure out who he was. During his talk with Atrocitus, I was able to enter his body and feed him through the Rage that was already there in soul and all it took was being told the truth about The Green Lanterns to make this kid give into the Rage with a little help from his past as being a punching bag." 'Wally' cackled out with a voice so evil that it made everyone's blood go cold.
"At first I had planed to make Razer my host but I realized that he didn't have what I needed as though he had Rage in his heart, that Rage was not what I needed. So I waited until the right moment and what do you know. It was the reincarnation of that fool Nuallan who managed to stop me once before at the cost of his own life. I thought to myself that if Nuallan wasn't a Green Lantern then he would have made a great Red Lantern. Now what do you know after all these years I do get to have Nuallan's body so to speak as a host." 'Wally' grinned evilly as his fangs showed.
"We will stop you!" Flash yelled.
"Can you? Can you stop me when what I feel and what injuries I get will also be felt by my host? I do know that everyone here does care for my host which is why I chose him as I know that you won't attack me when it would mean that it would also hurt Wally." Butcher laughed out. "Deal with it. You can't stop me."
"Wanna bet?" A woman's voice was heard behind the body that Butcher had possessed. Butcher had just turned to see who was behind him only to be knocked out cold by some sort of iron weapon making contact with his head.
"Remind me not to make your mate mad Flash." Razer told Flash as he had just seen a woman with no powers at all sneak away from the group and behind the Butcher possessed Wally and knock him out with one swing of the frying pan. The scene that just happened brought memories back to Razer of his loving wife who had just as much a temper as Flash's wife and was just as loving.
"Believe me, I have met the end of that Frying Pan before and you really have to make her mad for her to do what she just did." Flash replied as he knew that Iris would never forgive herself for what she had just done as Flash and Iris had made a promise to Wally when he and Iris brought the young boy into their home that they would never hit him. But somehow Flash knew that Wally would forgive her.
"I will have to take him to one of our cells that is located by our Battery. I know that you do not like this idea but it for our safety as well as Wally's. The Butcher will not be able to get out of the cell as long as it is near our main Battery. I will do everything in my power to get The Butcher out of Wally." Saint Walker told Flash and the others as he picked up the knocked out possessed speedster with him ring and flew off to where the few cells were located. The monk did not like the idea that he would have to put a child whose by no fault of his own into cell like a common criminal but it was for the best at the moment since The Blue Lantern Rings were not strong enough to contain The Butcher possessed Wally.
Flash watched the monk fly to the cells. He just didn't know what to do. This was his son that was being controlled by the very essence of Rage. Flash may not believe in anything unless he saw it for himself but he was more than willing to believe in anything if it meant keeping Wally safe and protecting him. Wally along with Iris was his life. The blond would die for Wally and Iris.
Next Chapter: Flash loses his temper when he returns to Earth on Young Justice and Superman. Meanwhile Wally tries to fight being possessed while getting a visit from a member of a Lantern Corps that not many has ever seen that will make him think about who he is and what he wants in life.
IDEAS ARE WELCOME ANYTIME.
REVIEWS WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS.
Author's note: Just to let you know that Wally being possess by The Butcher is based on what I have read about on Wikipedia. I do not remember who The Butcher has possessed but I do believe that he did possess a Green Lantern.
