Author's Notes/Warnings: Just a little ficlet to get the ball rolling really. I promise I will be attempting to write longer fics then this...
Wally has always prided himself on his ability to commit to a team. It's almost second nature for him to put others before himself.
He's always known that his job as the team's speedster is critical to almost every mission.
And it's not because of his ability to take down opponents quickly or the power that lurks quietly in his lithe muscled body.
In fact it has nothing to do with attack power and everything to do with defence.
Because when it comes down to it, Wally is the league's last defence. He is the one who has to shoulder the responsibility of getting his teammates away as quickly and as safely as possible if everything goes wrong.
That's not to say that he doesn't take down his fair share of bad guys, because he does and he does it with pride. But Wally has known for a long time that there is a lot more at stake.
Situations can change in the briefest of moments and he literally will only have seconds to make a choice and act.
But the scariest thing is that no matter what the situation, Wally knows who he'll save first.
And it's not because he's the most human.
Or the fact that he has no powers to depend on.
Wally would be devastated if anything happened to any of his teammates. His friends.
But the truth is that life would go on. Wally has suffered his fair share of loss and come out stronger. And there is nothing to say that he can't do it all over again. He's a born survivor. And while a world without Superman would be a darker one.
A world without Bruce is unthinkable.
