He IS a speedster... anonymous July 23 2011, 15:37:08 UTC
This Anon wants angst and spades full of it!
Wally goes missing: he's not been kidnapped, he's simply ran away from home and abadoned the team (reason can be up to authors) and with his speed he could be on the other side of the world... from there on in it's up the authors if/how he is found and in what situation and if he comes back.

Bonus: Roy/Wally or Robin/Wally

I'm working on a fill back in part five that involves Wally being a Foster Child (instead of Mary and Rudy's biological son) and running away when Child Services tries to place him in a group home. It's still a work in progress, and it doesn't fit the bonus, but if you are interested in it it is over here - http://yj-anon-meme.livejournal.com/3983.html?thread=9573519#t9573519

That said I always find it interesting to see other peoples takes on similar premises, so it would certainly be fun to see this done by someone else XD

This sounds SO interesting...maybe one of the team (Artemis?) says something jokingly and we can go with the whole 'he's abused' AU thing and he just runs away, and, and...
I love runaway prompts and anything with street rats, basically, so this would be awesome.

Dear OP, not sure if this is what you wanted, but I hope you like it.
AN: Time line switches from present to past, with past in italics if I did my tags correctly.

Dick should have known.

He should have seen the signs, but he didn’t and now it was too late. At least he wasn’t alone in his self loathing. Roy was suffering from the same self blame, as was Kaldur, Batman, the Flash, Megan, Black Canary, Iris Allen, Conner and Artemis. Anyone who loved and cared for Wally West hated themselves for not knowing. But Dick did his best not to dwell on it, because that did nothing to help.

When Dick laid in his large, plush bed at night and stared up at the ceiling, he tried not to dwell. He tried not to think about if Wally had a bed to sleep in. He tried not to think about if Wally had enough food. He tried not to think about if Wally was alone. He tried not to think about if Wally was safe. He tried not to think about if he could’ve stopped Wally.

He tried not to dwell, he really, really tried.

Robin caught Megan staring at the refrigerator again. Conner stood behind her and he was glaring at the kitchen appliance like it had done something terrible. Robin was surprised that Superboy’s heat vision didn’t suddenly develop and make the refrigerator explode.

“We have so much food,” Megan murmured. “There’s too much food! We shouldn’t have so much food!”

When Megan burst into tears, Conner punched the refrigerator with a loud scream of rage. Kaldur pulled him off of it while Robin did his best to comfort Megan. They try to keep her out of the kitchen, mostly because incidents like this or times when she’d just silently sink to her knees and cry.

Bruises and cuts were par for the course for all crime fighters. So Conner, Kaldur and Robin didn’t even think twice when Wally took off his shirt in the locker room and his chest was covered in faded yellowed bruises. They sympathized, but they didn’t think twice about it. Dick had his own deep purple bruises around his ribs and he was actually jealous of Wally’s ( ... )

One thing that Dick learned was that Artemis had some shady connections. Really shady connections. But one of those shady connections gave them a lead and they were at a youth shelter in Seattle. The sky was gray and a constant sprinkle of rain fell upon the city. It wasn’t too cold, but a chill sunk into Dick’s bones as they made their way to the shelter and he was beginning to hope that Wally had a good, waterproof jacket ( ... )

Robin stretched himself over Wally’s bed and watched as Wally cleaned his room at Mount Justice. It was an odd sight, but he figured that the room had gotten too messy even for Wally. Not that Robin was going to help, he kept his room nice and clean for a reason, and if he helped Wally then the speedster would never learn.

He blinked in surprise when Wally suddenly held out a box of his prized superhero action figures to him. Robin looked down and didn’t know what to do.

“I know Tim has been eyeing these for awhile, he can have them,” Wally explained.

“Dude, trust me, Tim doesn’t need more toys.”

“Give them to him, I don’t want them anymore.”

Robin didn’t want to take the box. But there was something firm yet desperate in Wally’s tone that he couldn’t refuse. Robin’s stomach turned and his fingers tightened around the box that Wally had put into his hands. He would have to talk to Wally about this later.

There was no later.Iris Allen let Dick into the house with a tired smile. He made sure to visit her at least once ( ... )

At first the Wests were cooperative, they were devastated, they were everything parents whose son went missing should be. Robin didn’t suspect a thing. They made pleas with the media, they talked with the police and the Justice League, they helped with the search, and they graciously accepted the sympathies of all those around them ( ... )

It was easy to find the audio files on the computer and almost just as easy to bypass Batman’s security measures to keep them away from Dick. But Dick was just a little better at this, just a little. He had shoved his siblings out of the cave and put on his headphones to listen.

The particular file he opened didn’t have people speaking, but it was far from silent. There was the sound of something being thrown around, the heaviness of wood breaking, shuffling, then the sound of someone being hit, and finally sobbing and groans of pain in an all too familiar voice.

Dick rushed for the bathroom and spent the next hour throwing up and dry heaving.Exiting his school, Dick walked towards the car waiting for him and pulled out his phone to find that he had five missed calls from Roy. Running to the car and getting in, Dick ignored Alfred and Damian, Cass and Stephanie who were all in the car already, done with their day of kindergarten and preschool. Tim and Jason wouldn’t be off from school for another half hour. He glared at ( ... )

I love the writing style, and the switch from present to past and back worked beautifully.

Dick sat up against the headboard of his bed with Wally in his arms. The older teen was pale and thin, just as how Roy described him in Star City, and Alfred had taken the time to wash the teen and to put him in clean clothes, Wally was in desperate need of both. Wally had yet to wake up, but Bruce reassured him that the tranquilizers in the cookies wouldn’t harm the speedster. And his siblings were on hand just in case Wally decided to try to run again. If he did, Dick knew he wouldn’t make it a step outside the room, not with the security precautions they had taken ( ... )

Jeez, if I had tear ducts I would be bawling right now. Fantastic use of such a short space to tell an all around story and include everyone in it, include all the relationships Wally has, imply enough about Wally's absence, the reasoning... great job with emotional intensity as well ♥
