Always Be my Best Friend

Chapter 4

It was weeks later after the odd incident and the team had all decided to forget about it and move on. Wally and Robin were playing bored games in the main room, everything calm and fine again.

"Well, it's nice to finally see the two of you getting along again! I'll be in the kitchen if either of you two boys need anything." Megan giggled, stirring up a mixture in a bowl she held before making her way into the kitchen.

"Meh, I forgot what we even argued about." Robin shrugged, replying to her.

"Dude, me too! Maybe we really are meant to be best friends!" Wally laughed.

"No matter what happens, I could never push you away from me. You'll always matter to me." Robin said, smiling.

Wally then frowned, looking down as he thought about those words. He felt tears approach the corner of his eyes. He then looked back over at Robin, who now looked at him with concern.

"Rob, I...I never-" Wally began to say, only to be caught off by the mimicking voice in his head. He gasped and frowned, closing his eyes.

"Wally?" Robin called in a whisper.

Wally then slowly smiled, chuckles escaping from his lips. He opened his eyes once more, Robin gasping as they glowed a bloody red. He chuckled more, soon laughing.

"N-No..." Robin gasped out, backing away as Wally got up from his spot.

"I am in control here now!" Wally would shout, his voice deeper and echoed.

Robin got up, and put up a fight the best he could. But he was soon knocked down to the ground. His head bumped up against the bottom of the table, causing him to pass out.

Megan then quickly rushed in, worry on her face. "Wally! What's going on?" She questioned. She then gasped once he had turned towards her, making her way to get help. But before she could get too far, Wally grabbed ahold of her from behind and pushed her toward against the wall. It was in a matter of seconds when Megan wasn't able to keep herself awake any longer.

Robin groaned, feeling pain all over as he awoken. He opened his eyes and looked around him, only to gasp once he found himself hanging from above, his arms and hands tied up in chains from the ceiling. He looked below to see huge crates of steaming water below him and the others of his teammates.

He then remembered the warehouse they have been investigating on missions and then the vision he had seen from the mirror Wally showed him that one night. He gulped, fearing of what would happen. But then, he thought of Wally and how strange he had acted, how he had been the one who did this. He feared what had happened to his best friend, or what will happen.

"Pst, Robin!"

Robin looked beside him, as Artemis was trying to grab his attention.

"Could you please tell me what the hell is going on here?!" Artemis then shouted in a panicked voice.

Robin then looked over to see everyone else looking at him as well.

"Yeah, you were with him the whole day! What happened?!" Conner joined in.

"Look, guys, I don't know! Something is in his head, messing with him! Somehow." Robin said, looking down, tears seeping from his eyes.

"Hey...hey, look, it'll be okay...I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Robin, we'll get out of here, I'm sure." Artemis then sighed, lowering her head as well.

"Bats is going to kill me if we don't! But I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about him." Robin replied, his voice cracking as more tears spilled.

"You barely ever show emotions, because you're always thinking on the positive side of every wrong situations, not just the most greatest detective's protégé. And you're gonna let your weak side show to them now?" Kauldar questioned.
