Summary
Wally knew that Roy needed to open up about his issues with Green Arrow, but couldn’t the Teen Titans just sit him down for a nice meal and talk about it? You know, like normal people would? No of course, Dick had to make everything complicated, opting for a high-stakes mission to pry things out of Roy.
What Wally didn’t get was his own involvement in this. He didn’t mind helping his friends out, but his presence here wasn’t necessary. The whole point of this mission was to address a fragile parent-child relationship— something Dick could handle by himself. So why did he ask Wally to come? Was this some elaborate plan to force all three of them to talk?
Sure, Wally might have his share of family issues, but they weren’t worth addressing— especially not when compared to his teammates’ problems. And if Dick wanted to see issues where they weren’t any, well, Wally wasn’t gonna let him.

Summary
Broccoli hair wiped his eyes and took a shaky breath. “Thank you”
Oh. He was being thanked? People didn’t do that much, so it left him fumbling for an answer. It felt… nice to do something right for once.
He broke into a wide grin. “You’re welcome!”
“I’m Izuku Midoriya.” Broc- Izuku said. There was a little spark in his eyes that hadn’t been there before.
“The name's Naruto! And I’m gonna become the best Hero ever- Believe it!”
Izuku smiled, but then looked away with sadness. Augh, did Naruto say something wrong?
“I also, I want—” Izuku paused, then something in his eyes shifted. It was small, but it made a difference somehow. It was a flicker of resolve.
“I want to be a hero too.”
Naruto lit up. “Then let’s become heroes together!”

“I—” He just has to say it. “I was wondering if maybe you saw Chihiro. Last night.”
“What the fuck?” Mondo demands. “No, why the hell would I?”

He's not the Flash right now, not Kid Flash. He's just Wally, sitting there with eyes fixed firmly on his lap, trying so hard not to sound afraid of wanting something good. Of ruining it.

Summary
There was an acute sense of shame making its way through Wally’s body. He felt heat rise in his cheeks. And what kind of father, what kind of person would need to check constantly that his children were still there in the bassinet, would distrust the baby monitors, would surge awake half a dozen times in one night with a panicky feeling in his ribs that insisted they weren't really there? Not a normal one, certainly.
Or: Wally West is the fastest man alive. He's also a father now. Turns out he has a lot to learn from his twin babies. It also turns out nothing stays buried forever, no matter how much he wishes it could.

Summary
In a childish, naïve kind of way, Kai had thought getting home would fix it. Would fix him, whatever pieces are left of the person he used to see in the mirror that he managed to drag out of that place.
Looking in the dusty monastery mirror his first night home, still cracked from where Cole had fallen over after laughing too hard at Jay’s terrible haircut, hollow eyes and gaunt skin and a stranger staring back at him—
Maybe, Kai’s forced to realize, it isn’t that easy.
Kai's first week back home, ft. Lloyd's attempts to play older sibling for once.
