Prologue
It started out with Aunt Iris going away. Her face was bright with excitement over the prospect of going to England on her news channel’s dime. The chance to travel abroad for work was too great of an opportunity to turn down and she accepted it with open arms. Wally was genuinely happy for her and told her that he wanted a souvenir from each city she visited. Iris just hugged her nephew, smothering his face with kisses and told him that if he got too lonesome that he could always run over to England to visit her.
Wally really was happy for her. And it was an opportunity for Barry and Wally to bond on their own. Except the day after Iris left, the Flash got assigned to a mission by the Justice League. A mission in outer space. Those were always long missions and both Barry and Wally were disappointed over the fact that their man to man bonding time was going to be interrupted.
“I hate using up my vacation time for things like this, there goes our trip to Hawaii in the summer. Bats totally owes me for this,” Barry complained to Wally as he packed a few things to bring with him. Wally sat cross legged on the bed, watching as Barry move around the bedroom with super speed. “I guess you’ll have to hold down the fort for me, Kid. Call Jay if you need-” Barry paused and sighed. “Oh right, Jay and Joan are away for the next couple of months.”
“Yeah, millionth anniversary of being married trip,” Wally reminded him and waved his hand without a care. “Don’t worry about me, Uncle Barry, I’ve got Central City covered. The Rogues have nothing on me.”
Barry ruffled his hair and pulled Wally into a tight hug. “I’m not too worried about you. But you’ve got Hal’s number in case something happens. Actually, I’ll leave you John Stewart’s number just in case. I’ll also leave you my spare communicator so you can get a hold of the Justice League directly. And I want you to call someone the moment you think that maybe things might be too much for you, alright? I don’t want to come back and find out that you got yourself hurt because the Rogues were giving you trouble.”
“Nothing is going to happen, Uncle Barry!”
“I know, I know, I just want to make sure that you’re taken care of,” Barry said as his hold on Wally tightened. “You’re a good boy and the best partner ever, so I know you won’t have any problems, but better be safe than sorry, right?”
Wally just rolled his eyes. Everything would be fine, he reassured his uncle. Taking care of Central City by himself was going to be a cakewalk. All by himself. Without the Flash for backup and ice cream treats after putting the bad guy away. Without Aunt Iris waiting at home with a hot dinner waiting for them no matter how late it was and warm hugs. Without weekend visits to Grandpa Jay and Grandma Joan’s house for stories from Grandpa Jay and baked goods from Grandma Joan. Yeah, Wally was going to be just fine.
Just fine.
All by himself.

And why with each passing moment do I feel the need to glomp a fictional character?
