I am falling, I am fading, I have lost it all.

WHO: Dick Grayson & Wally West
WHERE: Dick's apartment
WHEN: The day after Wally's talk with Bart and discovering Roy's gone.
WARNINGS: Oh god, MORE ANGST. Fluffy angst.
SUMMARY: Wally learned that the most important person in his life is going to die, he needs a friend since all the ones at the Tower have gone.
FORMAT: Paragraph.

Wally couldn't sleep that night and it's no surprise, not with that kind of heavy knowledge. So he spent the entire night trying to work on the Cosmic Treadmill to no avail. He couldn't concentrate at all and the drawings and writing he made were unreadable with how shaky his hands were. In the morning he realized he just couldn't stay on his own. All these feelings would eat away at him and he needs distraction.

He doesn't want to bother Bart again though - not after what he put him through - and Garth got ported out. He tries looking for Roy only to discover that he got ported out too. Wally loses it a little then.

He runs without thinking going faster, faster, faster than he ever ran before, pushing every limit and then some. Because he knows that if your run at the right speed, vibrate at the right frequency, you can run back and forth in time and to different universes. The Cosmic Treadmill is just a helpful tool and it's quite possibly not necessary if you can run fast enough.

Wally can't ever run that fast but he's trying anyway. Trying until every muscle in his body is screaming in agony and he's losing speed fast. With a last push he ends up in front of Dick's door.

He doesn't want to bother Dick with this, he has enough on his plate already, but Wally doesn't know where to go anymore if he can't get home. He's not that close with the older Titans, his closer friends are gone now and Dick is all he has left.

It takes effort to raise his arm and knock on the door when he's wheezing for breath but he does it.
