A YJ Anon Meme Fill

Prompt: Wally recreates the Flash experiment at the age of eleven and resulted in a destructive explosion. The entire West family was declared dead but Wally actually survived. He gained superspeed but his memories are gone. He then found himself in Metropolis where he was eventually adopted by Lex Luthor.

Summary: He couldn't remember anything. Ever since he opened his eyes, he had lived in a world of his own. He was alone until he met him. Just like that, he knew everything will be better and he knew that the man was his savior.

The Flash was stunned to see Luthor's son up close. It was like seeing a ghost. Wally may have looked like young Alex Luthor had he been alive to see his fifteenth birthday.

After two seconds, Flash realized that the red headed boy had ran across the room in milliseconds to protect his father from the League.

Alex was a speedster. Alex was fighting them. Alex - a fifteen year old boy was fighting the Justice League alone and without hesitation.

This was wrong.

This shouldn't be happening.

Flash looked at the boy's father. Lex had never looked so smug.

Lex observed as the boy eagerly studied his lessons with his tutors. He was a fast learner. A genius.

A genius and a speedster.

He couldn't believe his luck.

He wouldn't need to invest in Project Kr anymore. He already has a valuable weapon right here.

The boy already trusts him. There was no doubt in those bright green eyes that he was ready to do anything for him.

Perfect.

Now all he needed was to finish the paperwork, get a woman who could play mommy, and let the boy complete his training and studies, then everything will be set.

Alex Luthor - his weapon against the League, his "son" born from a long lost college sweetheart, will be ready to be presented to the world.

The world was slow but he didn't care. He was fast. That was what matters for him to stay alive.

He knows what to do. He has survived alone for this long. He was doing fine.

The big fancy building has always tickled his curiosity since he arrived in the city two years ago. He had lurked around the area often times - trying to get a glimpse here and there. Maybe he now should take a look inside. No one will notice. Maybe he'll get a souvenir from the trip too.

Turns out, it was easy to get in but not to get out. He made a mistake in trying to get the green stones. Alarms went off. They swarmed towards him with guns ready. All of his exits were blocked. They caught him.

The people in black then had strapped something in his ankle and he blinked in surprise.

The world stopped being so slow.

A man stood before him; his face looked amused. The man then spoke to him. And for the first time in his life, he finally understood someone else. It was... incredible.

His world had stopped being so slow.

He liked that. He really really liked that.

He couldn't help but smile at the man and tell him the words he had been wanting to use for so long. "Hello."

12

He couldn't remember his name or where he's from. He didn't know why he was so different from the others too.

The world was so slow.

His first clear memory was waking up in a wreckage naked. He can't remember why but he felt his chest tighten at the destruction around him. So he ran and everything became a blur.

The world was so slow.

He was fast. He was cold. He was hungry. He needed to live. He stopped.

Why was the world so slow?

He was fast. Nobody seems to see him. Nobody seems to hear him.

He was fast but they're so slow.

He was alone.

But he had to live.

And so he learned to live alone.

He always took something from them. He was fast and they're slow. They never notice a thing.

Good.

Maybe it wasn't so bad for the world to be this slow.

11

His parents will be mad at him if they ever find out what he was doing. His Auntie Iris and Uncle Barry will be very angry at him too. This was dangerous. He should not be doing this. The chances of his experiment being successful is very slim.

But he have to try.

Wally tried hard to remember bits and pieces of his conversation with Barry. The man was sharing with him his knowledge about the Flash - the hero's quirks, favorite foods, and amazingly, the origin of his powers.

One can become as fast as the Flash with this experiment.

He has to try.
