Impulsin'

Disclaimer: I love coming up with stuff like this!

Summary: What if the Particle Accelerator's explosion's effects had touched Keystone as well? What if Wally had gained his Speed months before Barry did? What if he hadn't exactly been responsible all the time with his new gift? What if Jesse found out about it? And wasn't too thrilled with some of his past actions?

"WALLACE EUGENE WEST! MAIN CORTEX ROOM! NOW!" Came the irate voice of one Jesse 'Quick' Wells through the intercom system of STAR Labs' Main Cortex room.

Native of Earth-2 until re-locating to Earth-1 full time to be with her boyfriend, Wally 'Impulse' West. Along with being around the great friends she'd made there. Friends like Barry Allen, Joe and Iris West, Caitlin Snow, and Cisco Ramon. "Ooh, my little brother is in so much trouble." Iris said with a shake of the hed and Caitlin could be seen nodding in agreement next to her.

"I'm surprised she didn't find out sooner, to be honest."

As it wasn't like it was a secret where Wally's past was concerned or anything! Wally himself soon sped into the Main Cortex. "Hey babe! Why the angry tones from such a sweet voice?" Asked the Speedster with a smile towards his girl.

Who was not swayed in the least by his words or smile! "Flattery isn't gonna get you of trouble."

"And what could I possbibly be in trouble for? I haven't done anything bad like forgetting anything."

"Oh? So you never mentioning being the 'Twin-Cities Playa' isn't you forgetting something?" Jesse asked in an icy tone of voice.

Wally grimaced as Iris spoke up. "You know, I'm still less then impressed about that myself." The reporter said with a glare towards her brother.

Who just sighed as that had been among the nicknames he'd gotten shortly after gaining his Speed thanks to the effects of the Particle Accelerator hitting Keystone as well. Needless to say, Wally had spent more time playing around then being serious with his new ability but had made sure to hide his identity. Not that it kept his mom from finding out as he'd later learn before her death. Which had thankfully taken longer then expected to happen thanks to STAR Labs and certain Island Herbs Oliver Queen had supplied them with. Along with the fact he used his gift to make some extra cash in a legal way in order to help her with her health. Now mind you, Wally didn't exactly regret the nickname as he'd well earned it. Much like he had with the phrase 'The Heartbreaking Showstopper' as he'd broken many a heart over the months since becoming a Speedster.

Coming up to his girlfriend, Wally tried to place his hands on her shoulders with a big smile on his face. "Now baby, that's not that important. Or otherwise I woulda said somethin'."

"Oh really? Because somehow, I doubt that. And as it is, with what I've read so far, I'm coming to see why you don't ever take me over to Keystone."

"Baby, why go there when we got all we need right here in Central?" Tried the young man but to his dismay, she pulled away from him.

Even giving him a rather unpleasant glare! Which oddly enough, reminded him of the first time he met Barry after the red clad Speedster had seen him on the news and gone off to confront him in an angry manner. Demanding to know if he had anything to do with his mother's death so many years ago, only to find out he definitely had the wrong guy and then spending his time trying to get him to stop playing around and occasionally making money off his gift. Leading to a re-location to Central so Caitlin could try and help out Francine at STAR Labs and making for a nice West family reveal that included a fair amount of drama and disappointment over how Wally had been using his powers. Letting out an agitated breath, the Speedster turned to his sister. "I thought you said you wouldn't tell!?"

"And I haven't. She pretty much found out on her own. Just like I told you she would. I think this would be one of those 'I told you so' moments." Iris told him smugly.

"And if I hadn't seen an article wondering where the 'Speedster of Love' who bedded 50 Scientists in one night had gone off too, I wouldn't have known until you had the balls to tell me, Wally!" Said an irate Jesse.

Making for Iris and Caitlin to look disgusted by the mention of that. "Okay, it wasn't 50, it was more like 15. And that was for Science."

Boy had that been a fun learning experience too! "How on Earth could that have been for Science!?" Wondered Caitlin aloud before she could really stop herself.

"That's something I wanna know too, boyfriend of mine."

"Well, we learned Speedsters have amazing recovery time thanks to our speed. Somethin' I'm sure Barry knows about really well by this point, but please, sis, no details." Wally told his sister with a small shudder.

Iris had to frown unhappily at that as she remembered over hearing Linda once as she told a few co-workers that Barry surprisingly had a quick recovery time a little while after she came to work one day while walking a bit strangely. Jesse crossed her arms and glared even more at her playboy boyfriend. "Do I wanna know how 'Speedy in the streets, Slow-Mo in the sheets' came to be then? Which… I'm wearing a shirt with that phrase on it interestingly enough."

Something she wasn't entirely happy about now either! "Heh… Uhh… Nothin' like you're thinkin', I promise. Its just somethin' that came to be one night while I was doin' a talk show. That phrase is a good money maker though!" Not that he necessarily needed the money anymore since his mom's health and bills were a prime reason he'd been needing money and with her passing on, it wasn't an issue anymore.

"Say..." Began Iris, knowing full this would stir up the pot even more and making Wally a little nervous as he, Jesse, and Caitlin looked at her.

"Didn't you once tell the Press that the only way you'd ever settle down is if you'd come across a girl who is just as quick as you are? But doubted it would ever actually happen?"

"Oh really, you said that, huh?"

Wally gave off a nervous chuckle as he rubbed the back of his head. "Uhh… To, to be honest? I only said that so the more uhh, you know, persistent chicks wouldn't be as well… Persistent about catchin' me for their own." Explained the Speedster nervously.

A riot nearly happened after that he'd told the Press that too! Word had it that several girls ended up in the hospital thanks to trying to find ways to give themselves Super Speed as well. "So… I guess you wouldn't mind then if I went over to Keystone and announced myself and my intentions about you?" Jesse asked him in a sweet tone of voice.

One that worried him greatly and made him strongly wish he was causing another wild party to happen again in the streets of Keystone! Both Iris and Caitlin looked positively giddy about their fellow girl's words and Wally didn't like it one bit either! "N-Now baby, there's… There's no reason to do that!"

"And why is that, babe? Don't want me ruining your street cred or whatever with the boys and girls?" Oh how she was going to make the boy she loves suffer a great deal for keeping all this from her!

As it is, he's lucky her dad doesn't know about his past or there would be some serious Hell to pay! Word had it that her dad had an in with some people in Atlantis that could ensure anyone he really wasn't happy with would have an unpleasant stay in one of their prison cells. Wally looked shocked by her words and hated she thought that way as he came over to her. "What!? No! That's not it at all! Yeah, I've done a lot of things back then that definitely makes me look bad but you would never be able to ruin my street cred. You're my girl and you rock my world, Jesse. And I could care less about some street cred thing where you're concerned as I'm your guy now and only your guy. No other girl matters but you."

Hell, as while he could still be the life of the party, a lot of his old habits were pretty much in the past now thanks to his having gotten pretty serious with Jesse. Not to mention the loss of his mom. Which had sparked a candle light vigil through out Keystone after he was seen spreading his mom's ashes at her favorite spot in the city. Something that may or may not have led to a debate about his secret identity being known by those in Keystone. Jesse's glare lessened some as she ducked her head after hearing the sincerity in her boyfriend's voice. She then looked up at him seconds later. "You should have told me about all this sooner."

"I know, I… I guess I was just scared about how you would react to it all." He told her apologetically.

Especially given some of his actions like the Scientists thing! "Oh, believe me, I'm really pissed but that's not gonna keep me from loving you, Wally." Though if he thought he was getting any from her any time soon, he had another thing coming!

"Well, that makes me happy to know."

"You'll be even happier to know I'm going to Keystone to let everyone know you're officially off the market." Jesse told him and making his eyes widen in shock!

Both Iris and Caitlin grinned widely at that while trying to hold back laughter at the Speedster's reaction. "Ba-Baby, that's, that's not necessary!"

Really, it wasn't! His girl didn't know how vicious some of his fans could be! Something Barry had found out the hard way about and reportedly still had a nightmare or two over! Iris and Caitlin looked at one another with those grins still present and had one singular thought He's so burying himself deeper.

Jesse gave her boyfriend a cool look that made him take a step back. "Are you saying you don't want people to know about us, Wallace?"

"Its, its not that! I swear! Its just uhh, that you know, some of my fans are a bit… Hardcore?"

She walked up to him and patted him on the chest. "I'm pretty sure I can handle myself just fine where a few fanatical fans are concerned, babe." After all, she could run way faster then they could!

And with that, she grabbed her suit and sped off while Wally really wasn't happy with what she was doing! "JESSE!" He shouted in alarm!

"Guess you better go and back her up, baby bro."

"Iris is right. As who knows, Jesse might think again that you don't want anyone knowing about her. I mean, you played pretty hard before getting with her after all."

Wally grimaced at that as the last thing he wanted was for Jesse to get the wrong kind of thinking. He then hauled ass and hoped for the best in the whole thing. "I love when a plan works out so well." Remarked Iris with a sigh.

Caitlin nodded in agreement. "Leaving that article out where she could easily find it was risky but it worked."

"Yeah. God knows Wally wasn't gonna tell her on his own."

"And at least this way she didn't find out under more unpleasant circumstances." Caitlin added while thinking of the possibilities.

Like finding out after a bad argument between the two of them for example thanks to a news report or some such. And naturally, certain elements of Wally's fanbase really weren't happy about his being real serious with a girl who is as quick as he is. But the Speedster would get a lightbulb moment and distract those elements by bringing HR into their focus by telling them he's the man responsible for all he knows today. Something the man from another Earth loved a great deal of for awhile until it got to be a little too much for him! Wally would end up on the couch for a month with many a cold shower as while Jesse had accepted her boyfriend's wild past, she still wanted to give him a form of punishment much to his dismay!

Author's Notes: This was meant to be more of a funny thing but I'm not sure how well I accomplished that. R and R!
