"R-rob?" Came a weak voice below me.
"Yeah?" I answered, tilting my head to try to make out Wally's face in the darkness.
"P-please don't t-t-tell the team...o-or anyone e-else." Wally murmured. He had stopped shivering an hour ago, and his breath was coming in slow ragged gasps.Signs of coming hypothermia. I thought.
"Why not?" followed by, "What about the JL?" Wally sighed softly, he was fighting to stay awake.
"I-I just d-don't want a-anyone to know, ok? I-I mean, F-flash is o-ok. I-if he finds us. A-a-a-and Batman and knows everything...so..." I almost chuckled at that.
"Just them p-please," Wally asked, his voice becoming softer.
"Promise?"
"I promise Walls," I answered. Wally gave me a half-smile, squeezing my hand gently before his eyes closed and his head fell back onto my lap.
"Wally!" I yelled, jumping up.
"No no no no no no no no!" I muttered, spinning around to face him. I yanked off one of my gloves and bent down to feel his pulse. Still there.
Barely.
I shoved my fingers up by his nose, waiting...
A small puff of air.
Sighing in relief, I fell back against the wall. Turning my head to Wally I muttered,
"Imbecile." Then,
"Please be ok..."
Getting no answer, (I didn't expect one) I let my head rest.
I had to stay awake. I had to protect Wally. I had to stay alert. I had to.
I didn't even remember closing my eyes.
