Chapter 7: Confused

"Shouldn't you be in Central?" Dick asked as he spun around after hearing a gush of wind behind him. As he turned around he made a light sound of surprise before being shoved off the roof.

Wally looked around the apartment in confusion. Dick should have been home by then. It's 5am and Wally finished patrol in Central two hours ago. Dick usually finished later than him because Bludhaven is Bludhaven but he still should be home. Wally tapped his communicator as he paced the living room trying to connect to Dick's communicator but all he got was static.

Wally finally called Babs. "Hey, do you have a location on Dick?" Wally asked.

"Yeah, is everything okay?" Barbara asked.

"I dont know. I just want to go check on him," Wally responded, glancing at the clock that said it was almost six.

"I'll send you his GPS location," Barbara said, "And I'll get the batfamily on the line in case."

"Thanks Babs, I've got it," Wally said as he sped back into his Flash uniform and into the city. About a minute later he was in the relative location Barbara had provided him and he didnt see Dick anywhere.

"Call 911!" Someone yelled.

Wally looked in that direction and saw a small crowd forming around an alleyway. He felt his stomach sink and sped past them. Gasps echoed around him and he heard the snapping of pictures. None of that mattered though as he looked over Dick, who was laying on his side, unconscious, comm smashed beside him. Wally carefully tilted Dick's head to look for where the blood was coming from.

"It's Nightwing and the Flash!" People were murmuring around them.

Wally picked Dick up slowly and in a second had sped past the group of people towards the Zeta Tubes.

"Bats!" Wally yelled as he sped into the Batcave. Damian, Bruce, and Alfred all snapped to look at Wally and the man in his arms.

"Put him there, Master Wallace," Alfrdd ordered.

"What happened?" Bruce demanded.

"I dont know. He was late so I got his location and found him on the ground in an alleyway bleeding," Wally said quickly.

"It appears he...fell?" Alfred suggested as he started patching up Dick.

"Dick doesnt just fall though," Wally responded, eyes fixated on his husband.

"He was pushed. It's evident from where he landed," Bruce stated, looking up from his phone.

"What?" Wally asked.

"Images of you two is all over local and national news. From where he is lying in the picture, he was shoved," Bruce explained.

Wally looked to Alfred, "He will be okay right?"

"Of course. It looks more serious than it is. Master Dick has bruised several of his ribs, suffered some light head trauma, and fractured his wrist. Otherwise he is fine. He most likely tried to break his fall and prevented further injury," Alfred explained.

"Alright, next question then. Who the fuck did this to my husband?" Wally asked.

"I don't know," Bruce responded.
