The quick witted one (Wally West fanfic)

Babies Cry But So Do People

Marble

I held Alex as Queenie was being interrogated.

"Hey Marble?" Artemis asked.

"Yeah?" I asked bouncing Alex in my arms.

"Wanna come to star city with me?" She asked.

"Why not? Get Alex out in the fresh air and new surroundings." I said and I put her in her pram.

"We need to make a visit to the base but it's fine. You can meet them all."

We walked over to the Zeta Tubes and headed off.

Star city was beautiful. There was a large tower with Palmer technologies on it but it was so big, huge.

"We have to walk about a block but I have to pick some stuff up."

We walked into a building that looked run down but it was quite large.

"There's no lift. You carry Alex and I'll carry the pram." Artemis said.

"Arty?" A man said.

"Diggle! How's Sara and Lyla?" She asked.

"Fine. Who's this?" He asked.

"Marble. Pink Flame." She said.

"Artemis! You just revealed my secret identity to someone!" I said.

"And Marble, meet John Diggle, also known as Spartan." She said and I smirked.

"Sorry Mr Diggle." I said and he smiled.

"Call me Dig." He said and I smiled.

"Perfect timing. Be a dear and carry the pram downstairs?" She said.

"Ok. How old's the baby may I ask?"

"Three days." 

"Sister?"

"Mother." I said.

"Wow. Arty, take the baby down and I'll carry the pram. Just in case." He said and I smiled. 

I walked down stairs and saw Oliver and some girl and a woman with long blonde hair.

"Hey guys." Artemis said to them all and they said hi then they noticed me.

"Who is she?" The brunette asked.

"Marble. Pink Flame." Artemis said and they all relaxed.

"Hey?" I asked more than said.

"This is my sister Thea and this is Felicity." Ollie said and I waved.

"Felicity? You know how I'm your favourite?" Artemis pleaded.

"What am I doing? Better not be faking id's again." She said.

"What was that?" Oliver asked.

"Nothing!" Artemis snapped and gave Felicity a glare.

"I just need you to help Marble out for a bit. And Dig, can you take Alex out on a walk to give Marble a break?" Artemis asked.

"They don't need to Arty. I'm flattered but they aren't here to wait on my hand and feet." I said and Thea stopped me.

"Nah, you've just proved that we're going to help now. Diggle has to go help out somewhere nut with your permission I'll take her out?" Thea offered.

"Of course." I said and thanked her.

"What am I helping with?"

"Marble is incompetent with computers and they are trying to find her abducted brother. She needs help." Artemis said.

"Names?" She asked.

"Timothy Drake and Damian Wayne." She said and Felicity popped a red lollipop in her mouth and began typing.

"Want one?" She murmured.

"Yeah please." I said and she chucked me one.

"Just gives me something to suck on while I work. Oh no, that's not what I meant!" She rambled as I laughed.

"Don't worry I'm the same." I said and she smiled.

"So, wanna help?" She asked pointing at a chair.

"Wait wait! We need to document this! You offering someone else a chair!" Artemis laughed and Felicity smiled.

"Maybe you don't need me next time when you lose a villian." She smirked and Artemis shut up quickly.

"I won't be much help but I can try." I replied but she shushed me.

"Are you good at scanning pictures?" She asked and I nodded.

"I need you to scan traffic cams while I work my magic. And Artemis can go fetch us a couple of drinks or I'll tell Oliver about her clubbing habits." Artemis walked of to get drinks. (So cause you all love me so much, we are all gonna pretend Artemis is 19 cause I'm too tired to keep trying to find her canon age)

"Why don't you tell Oliver about her drinking?"

"I'm not her Mom. In England you can drink at 18 so why not." (HAH SUCKERS)

"Ok, just look through all these traffic cams for them. Could be a dead end but we need to explore all options." She said and I started scanning.

*4 hours later*

"Hey, I'm back!" Thea said walking downstairs with Alex.

"Thanks, I've missed her." I said hugging her and putting her in the pram.

"I've set up an algorithm to alert me of any facial scans positives and I've got them placed high on the algorithm." She said and I hugged her.

"Thank you." I said and she nodded.

"I have to get back but please, call me back anytime. Tell Dig I said bye." I said and walked off with Alex in the pram.

I walked into the cave and all I wanted was to see Wally. I walked to the living room and he wasn't there. 

"Where's Wally?" I asked Meghan.

"At home. He left an hour ago." She said and I Zeta'd to near his house.

I wanted to surprise him so I left Alex in the living room. I creeped up the stairs and saw his room with the signature Wally stickers. I burst the door open and screamed "SURPRISE!".

He was in his bed. The blue covers covering him to the neck. A blonde girl was in the bed beside him, she was gorgeous and had eyes like melted chocolate. If I looked any further into them I would cry. Her hair in a messy ponytail and I saw no straps from clothing.

Tears didn't just fall. They poured.

"HOW COULD YOU!" I screamed then ran downstairs. 

I grabbed the pram and just ran. I didn't want to see him. I ran, and ran, and ran.

Wally

Joker was in my room. He just stood there and I ran at him.

"Touch me and Marble is toast." He said and I saw her. Laughing with Artemis.

"Leave her alone. Have you not done enough?" I shouted. Trying so hard to keep my cool.

"I've done enough. It's your turn." Joker said cryptically.

"What?" 

"Find a pretty girl. Opposite of Marble and seduce her. Make sure Marble finds out. I want you and her not together. If you don't do it today then I won't just hurt Marble, I'll hurt Alex too." Joker said and I just started crying. I've protected Marble so much and now I have to be the one to hurt her.

Marble

I held Alex in my room in mount justice. People were banging on my door but I blocked it. I needed time alone.

"Marble, you can be on your own but please. Let us take Alex. You aren't well enough to care for her." Dick said and I went to my door.

"Listen to me. Stay back from the door. I don't want anyone in this room." I said opening the door and handing Alex to Dick. 

I went to my bed and laid there and cried.
