Chapter 3

Barry's POV
Did I want to believe Wally was being abused? No of course not. Did I listen to his friends super carefully? Yes deffiently. Did I have to believe it? Yeah I had to take it into consideration. Did I rush over to Wally's house the second they said he was being abused? Yes. Did I go in after the conversation? Yes. Did I like what I saw? NO.

After Wally's friends told me everything they knew. I told them I would look into it. I walked into the West house and saw Rudy (Wally's father) passed out on the couch drunk. I also saw blood on the floor. Rudy did not look hurt so I assumed it was someone else's.

I ran up the stairs and into my nephew's room. I will never get over what I saw.

For starters when I opened the door the boy flinched. His clothes were off and on the floor torn. He was tied up naked on his bed. He was bleeding in multiple areas and had multiple broken bones. I quickly pack a bag I saw on the floor with some clothes before untying him. He kept flinching every time I touched him.

I should have know long ago what was happening to him. The way he always had bruises on him that he just had an excuse for. The way he always looked hungry. The way he always wanted to get away from home. I should have known something was up.

I quickly ran him over to my house. Iris was already home.

"Babe! What happened?" She asked. running over.

"I'll tell you in a minute. Will you please go get the med kit?" I asked.

"Right right. Wally first answers later," she said running off.

"Hey bud. Are you up?" I asked.

"Uncle Barry?" Wally asked.

"Hey buddy. How long has this been going on?" I asked him.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Wally..." I started to say. He seemed to snap back into reality and ran to the other side of the room before collapsing in pain. I quickly ran over to him helping him back over to the couch when Iris came in. I gave Wally some clothes to put on before I started cleaning his wounds.

"Wally? How long?" I asked.

He sighed. "As long as I can remember. Even before I got my powers," he said. He started crying. I stoped what I was doing and pulled him into a hug. He cried into my shoulder.

"Guys.. What happened?" Iris asked still confused.

"My dad... he beats me... and .... rapes...," Wally tried to say through sobs but couldn't. Iris got the point and gasped.

"And your mom?" She asks.

"She.. sometimes.. helps him... but mostly... stays.. away," Wally said again through tears.

"Why did you not tell me? Come to me?" I asked.

"Did not want to get into more trouble," he said. I hugged him tighter. "How did you find out Barry?"

"Your friends called. the ones you told me about yesterday. Except they did not want to talk science. They told me about bruises and limping. How you never hang out with them outside of school. How you seemed to talk about you house with hate. How you seemed to eat like you were starving but never ate a lot. You have some really smart friends," I told him. He sighed pulling away from me. He looked away in shame.

"Wally look at me," I told him. He slowly looked back up. "You should not live like this. You should not have to go through with this. I'm not going to let your parents near you again. I promise," I told him.

"We are not going to let them near you," Iris corrected. "Now you go on up stairs and take a shower. I will get started on dinner." Wally nodded in agreement then slowly made his way upstairs.

"I can't believe my brother would do such a thing," Iris said shaking her head. I hugged her.

"it's going to be okay," I told her. She agreed. After about 30 minutes Wally came back down looking a lot better. He was cleaned up and had new clothes.

"Come here," I told him. "Let me wrap your ribs. They look broken."

He laughed. "Yeah they feel broken." How he laughed at that I had no idea.

Suddenly the front door flung open. Rudy came storming in.

"How dare you take my son without my permission!" He yelled. Wally stumble back.

"You will stay away from him," I told Rudy.

"Like hell I will. He is my son," he yelled.

"That you rape and abuse," I yelled.

"You ungrateful boy! How dare you tell them!" Rudy started towards Wally. I ran and punched Rudy in the face. Cops then came in. Captain Singh and Joe came in with them.

"Barry! What is going on here!" Captain asked. "this man said you kidnapped his son?"

"I took Wally here yes because Rudy was hurting him," I said.

"I would do no such thing," Rudy yelled. Wally was crying and trying to get away from Rudy so I ran over to him.

"Your okay," I told him helping him stand back up. Iris came running in.

"Oh Wally?" Captain asked. "Please Barry would never hurt Wally."

"I would never hurt my kid!" Rudy yelled. Wally flinched a his yelling and back up.

"Wally's movements say other wise. You sir are under arrest for raping and abusing your son. take him away boys," Captain yelled. Wally still flinched. Captain and Joe slowly made their way over to us.

"Wally we need to ask you a few questions if that is okay with you?" Captain asked. Wally slowly nodded.
