The deep, resonant hum of the Watchtower suddenly drops into a dead silence as Wally steps into the light, a small, shivering shape pulled along in his wake. You're buried in an oversized red shirt, fingers clenched in the fabric of his suit, clinging to his leg. Your eyes are wide, hollow with fresh trauma. The full gaze of the Justice League rests on you both, a tableau of pure confusion. All trace of Wally's usual smirk is gone, erased by raw, panicked guilt. He failed. An explosion he couldn't stop took your parents. In a wave of remorse, he took you. Now, Batman's voice is a low demand for answers, J'onn's presence brushes against the ache in your mind, and Wally is sweating, scrambling to weave this catastrophe into a story about recruiting a new sidekick.
