Things Aren't Always What They Seem

Disappearance

3rd person
"Batmans gonna kill me." Richard suddenly states.
They had been exiting the abandoned lot when the thought occured to him. The team knows his identity.
Sure Roy, Wally, and Artemis did... but now that the whole team knows what will Batman say??
"I don't think you should worry about it." Wally says.
"And why not?? He freaked when he learned you found out!"
"Exactly. After all thats happened, I don't think you should worry. He probably figured they knew anyway. Even the Joker knows." Wally explains.
"The joker knows??" M'gann asks
"Yeah. Richard Grayson has been kidnapped a lot by J and his goons. He doesn't really tell anyone else though. Something about ruining fun." Dick replies.
"I agree this is puzzling, but we found out. No taking that back, we wanted to help our friend so we did." Kaldur says calmly.

Dick nods slowly as they escort the two back to Gotham Academy.
.......
Saturday
"Baywatch skipped training again??" Artemis asks
"Yeah. Haven't heard from him... I'll have to ask batman later." Robin says.
"Robin. Artemis. Thanks for volunteering to spar first." BC says
They both groan but obliged their trainer.
......
Friday evening
Wally stayed in his room, trying hard not to resort to hair pulling. He still had a million assignments, and an aching body. Not to mention his mother's been acting off, he doesn't have time for anything anymore.
Theres a small knock on his door,
"Come in." He says
He turns around in his desk chair and faces his mother,
"What's wrong??" He asks noticing her troubled face.
"I have something I need to tell you." She says.
Wally stands as she enters and closes the door,
"What is it? Are you okay!?" He asks quickly.
"I... Wallace.... sometimes things in life happen that we don't quite understand. So I need you to stay calm when I say this okay?" She asks
His panic rises as he nods slowly,
"I'm dying. So I'm marrying Tristan so you have someone to look after you when I'm gone."
.....

Saturday evening

'Dying... she's dying and marrying some guy we know nothing about? Rudy was nice once too. Why did she want to get remarried!? Why is she dying!? She doesn't deserve it! She deserves to live and be happy!!
He sank down a wall in an empty alley, he ran his hand through his hair.
His father was still out there. But he couldn't think about that now. He's taking a break, hes spending every moment he has with his mother, no matter what.
.....

Sunday

"still no sign of KF huh?" Boy wonder asks
"Nadda." Artemis replies.
"You don't think something happened do you?" M'gann asks nervously
"No. Flash would have told us if-" Robin starts
"Told ya what??" Flash interupts as he zooms into the room.
The room jumps, not hearing his arrival.
"Tell you what?" He asks again
"Uh... Wally... is he okay?" Robins the first to recover.
"He should be... I haven't heard anything. I can check up on him though. I was planning on bringing him some of Iris' cookies. You guys need me to bring him anything?" Flash asks
"Uh" they all look at each other, then back at the fastest man alive.
"Don't think so... we just want to make sure hes okay." Artemis replies.
"I'm sure he is. I'll let him know your worried."
.....
Wallys pov Still Sunday
I planned a special dinner, even invited Tristan. I cooked and cleaned, made sure everything was perfect.
I put the lasagna in the oven a moment before the doorbell rings. Cautiously I approach the door and look through the peep hole. Letting out a sigh I open it and stare at my Uncle,
"Whats up Uncle B?" I ask
"Just checking up on you. I brought cookies." He replies.
I open the door wider allowing him entry.
"Are you cooking??" He asks
"Yeah... I wanted to treat my mom to something nice." I reply, as I close the door.
"Oh by the way. Your friends are worried about you. Said they couldn't reach you. Everything alright?" Barry asks
"Tell em I'm fine. Just taking a break from the team for a while."
He looks at me skeptically, but nods,
"Okay. Well I'll go so you can get back to work. Just wanted to see how you were doing."
"Look. I'm fine. You can all stop worrying."
3rd person
He knew that wasn't true. He wouldn't tell anyone, but he had a lot that wasn't okay.
My mother and Tristan arrive shortly after the lasagna is done. They enter the house with smiles at the smell of the delicious pasta.
"Wally?" His mother calls.
"Kitchen" he calls back.

The two look at each other before entering the kitchen. They find Wally hard at work making sure everything is perfect.
"Whats all this sweety?" Mary asks
"Dinner. I thought it'd be nice to... celebrate your last day at work. Like a retirement party. " wally explains
"You did this... for me?" Tears spring to her eyes. Tears of happiness. Her son had done this for her... she was touched.
....

Over a week. Thats how long its been since the team had heard from their speedster. To say they were worried was an understatement, they feared something had happened. Although Flash had tried to assure them his nephew was fine, they just couldn't help but worry.
His father was still loose. He's probably still unstable mentally. But without the coordinates to his new place, the team could do nothing but wait.
He'd helped them so many times, and that whole time his life sucked. Is it different now? Is okay? Is he hiding something from them????? All these questions and more ran through their heads. Red arrow was ready to throw something at the thought of his little brother still having to go through stupidness. Robin was suspicious his swift brother was hiding something. After the way he acted when rescuing him and Arty. .. he just couldn't be sure.
As for Artemis and the others, they worried he'd do something drastic. After they heard his note.... they were scared.

What was Wally hiding? And where was he?????
