Another Hope

Chapter Nine

Wally's Pov

After watching Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them for Hayley and Tara and Rogue One for Demi we headed off to Gotham Beach. When I explained what it was like Demi and Hayley commented that it sounded like a place called Indiana Beach in their world. Though they had never been they had seen pictures online.

"I'm so excited! Amy never took us on trips like this before!" Demi said enthusiastically.

"The only time I ever had fun with Joker and Harley was when I was brainwashed to think it was fun," Tara said.

"Well, I'm glad you girls are excited," I said. I turned to Dick and smiled. I quickly leaned over and gave him a peck on the lips.

"I'm driving Kid Idiot!" He joked lovingly.

"I know, but Hayley seems to LOVE taking pictures, so we have to give her something to take pictures of," I said. "Duh." He rolled his eyes and turned back to the road.

"Oh, yeah, I got that one by the way," Hayley said from her place in the back.

"Wait, you did?" Demi asked, "How? it lasted like .5 seconds!"

"You seem to be forgetting, I have SUPER speed!" She said, emphasizing the super, "And a major determination to get every photo possible." This made everyone laugh, or, cackle in Dick and Demi's case.

Not long after, we arrived at Gotham Beach. I bought everyone wristbands and we strolled around, trying to decide which rides to ride first.

"Let's start out slow since none of you have ever ridden a roller coaster before," Dick suggested. We ended up walking towards the Tilt-A-Whirl after voting. Dick walked into the seating compartment first, then Demi, followed by Tara. Hayley walked in and ended up tripping on herself. Huh, I wonder where she get's the clumsiness from? It couldn't be from me. I thought sarcastically. When she got herself situated I sat next to her and the man came around and checked everyone's safety bars. The ride started off slow, like always, but as it picked up speed Hayley's soft red hair blew right into my face. 'Wow'. I thought 'her hair is the exact same shade of red as mine'. I pushed it out of my face and she laughed and quickly tied it into a bun.

We went on several more rides before Hayley pointed to one that neither Dick nor I had ever been on. It was called The Zipper. "Will anyone go on that with me?" She asked. "It's only a two-seater." Everyone shook their heads. Her face dropped dramatically. "Pleeeeease Daddy?" She asked, putting on her best puppy-dog face. The look on her face and the use of the term 'daddy' really hit me where it counts.

"Oh, fine! I'll go." I gave in, "The use of that face was NOT fair." She simply smirked and rolled her eyes.

"That was SO fun!" Hayley yelled as it came to a halt. I, however, leaned over and tried to refrain from throwing up.

"That was terrible," I said. "It flung us all around, I hit my head like three times." I was surprised by a sudden set of arms around my waist.

"I'm sorry dad, but thanks for going with me." She smiled and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Wow, that's freaky man." I heard Demi whisper to Dick and Tara. "What's freaky?"

"That you guys smile exactly the same way," Tara answered. We all laughed and walked off to the food trucks to get a few drinks since we were all thirsty.

We then decided it was about a good time to head off to the park. Demi and I thought it was the best idea because it kept us calm, she got the love of nature from me. We both walked ahead and took in all the sights and smells. She looked around and saw kids playing with adults, toys, or dogs.
