Chapter 23-Aftermath and secrets

A/n: So the next episode in season one doesn't have either Dick in it so this chapter happens after the 17th episode and before episode 19. Mentions of self harm.

Gotham City.


Wally had ran almost everywhere. He searched the high buildings because one Dick liked high places and two if Dick was going to kill himself he might jump from one of those high buildings. But Wally didn't think that was likely, he knew one of Dick's fears was dying like his parents did, so Wally highly doubted he would jump from one of them but he still had to check just in case. Wally finally came to a stop to try an catch his breath. He was bent over, his hands pressed against his knees as he breathed quickly. 

Suddenly, a ice cold rain drop fell down upon his face. He looked up at the clouds, they were now a dark gray. Wally really wanted to find Dick now before a storm came and got the young boy wet and sick. Just then, Wally's eyes landed on a metal arch. His eyes widen and he raced inside the cemetery, looking for Dick.

He soon found Dick laying very still on the ground, right next to his parents headstones. Wally sighed and bent down towards him. He ran his hand over Dick's face but he got no response. Wally then backed up and saw some blood on his wrist.

"Oh god no! Please...no" thought Wally as he whipped it away. He could make out a few cuts but they were nothing too deep. He sighed and stood up and walked over towards Dick to pick him up in his arms when his foot bumped something. Wally tilted his head to the side and then reached down slowly to pick up the bottle.
As soon as he read what was written on the bottle he dropped it, his eyes wide with fear. He quickly bent down and pressed his fingers against Dick's neck, feeling for a pulse. He was quickly relived when he found one.

Wally picked up both the bottle and Dick and ran out of the cemetery.

As he ran, Dick began to ster a bit. Wally quickly froze and stop running, looking down at his little bird.

"Don't...tell any-anyone about....th-this Walls'' said Dick, his voice breaking as he tried to speak clearly. Wally understood and dashed away from Gotham and towards a hospital that Bruce wouldn't look at right away.

------------------------------------------------

Wally was now waiting in the waiting room, his legs bouncing and shaking at the same time at super speed. He was waiting on both word and the adult figure the doctored order be here. Wally nervously was biting down upon his bottom lip without even realizing it, he continued until it began to bleed. Just then the doors that Dick was rushed behind opened up. Wally recognized the doctor and ran over towards him very quickly.

"Is he alright? Can I see him now? What-'' Wally began to spit out quickly. The doctor held up his hand to silence Wally.
"Wow, hold on their kid. I can't tell you that information unless you are family.'' said the doctor.

"I-" Wally began but was cut off by the person behind him.
"He is family. We both are. He's our little brother.'' said the person behind Wally. Wally recognized that voice right away and turned around quickly and throwing his arms around him.
"Roooy!!" shouted Wally as he hugged onto him tightly. Roy patted Wally's back and then they broke apart.

"And how old are you?" questioned the doctor.
Roy walked forward and stood right before the doctor. He was going to see Dick no matter what this doctor had to say about it.
"18.'' Roy said proudly. The doctor looked over at Wally then sighed. He then nodded his head and lead them to Dick's hospital room. As they walked towards his room the doctor talked about what they had to do and how Dick was, but the doctor finally told them that Dick was going to live right at his room. The doctor then turn and left Roy and Wally alone. Wally wasted no time and pushed the door open quickly.

They were faced with Dick sitting up in the hospital bed with his knees to his chest, with his arms on top of them and his face buried in it.

Wally walked forward and stood right before Dick as Roy walked over and stood next to him. Roy began to rubbing slow circle on his back.
"Dickie'' Roy said softly, Wally looked up at him. He hasn't heard Roy say Dickie in such a long time. "Dickie, please look at me." said Roy and Wally waited for Dick to respond. Dick slowly move his head to look at Roy. Both Wally and Roy could see how broken he looked. 

"R-roy?" he asked and then quickly moved forward. He scrambled into his big brother's arms. Roy didn't waste a second and wrapped his arms tightly around Dick who now was shaking as he cried his heart out.

"I'm so sorry! It's all my fault! I killed them...they hate me! I didn't....I didn't mean it. Please....Please Roy, don't hate me too'' Dick said as he cried more. Roy shook his head and pulled away from Dick.

"I don't hate you Dickie, no one hates you. Wally told me about the simulation, I'm so sorry you had to go through that little bird, but its over. It's okay now....you're okay now. Shhh...shhh, Dickie shh. We are here for you now. Shhh'' said Roy and he brought Dick back into his arms. His t-shirt becoming wet from all of Dick's tears. Roy looked over at Wally and he could the sadness within his green eyes which he knew his eyes probably reflected as well.

Wally then quickly rushed forward and wrapped his arms around them. "I'm sorry!" cried Wally as he broke down. Dick then moved from their arms and looked up at Wally.

'Wally, are you okay?' signed Dick. Wally shook his head 'no' and more tears fell from his eyes.
'I'm not okay...because your not okay. I love you! I love you so much and it kills me to see you in so much pain and for me to have done nothing about it. I'm so sorry Dick.' signed Wally. 

Dick reached out and grabbed ahold of Wally's hand which was shaking a bit. Dick pulled him closer towards him. 'This isn't your fault Wally, it's-' signed Dick but was cut off by Roy.

"It's not your fault either Dick!'' Roy yelled angrily, but his anger wasn't directed at him. "It's Bruce's fault for putting you through that, it's the Leagues! They are here to protect! They caused all of this, so don't go on for one more second thinking that it is all your fault,because it's not! I can't believe they did this, that they gave the okay to Batman to do this. Your his son!! How could he not see what this could do to you...to everyone! Geez!" Roy shouted and threw his arms up in the air. He then walked away from Dick and Wally and sat down harshly in the chair in the corner of the room. Wally took his eyes off of Roy and looked back at Dick. He slowly reached out and brushed the tears off of Dick's face. Dick smiled and blushed a little bit. Wally then lean forward, pressing his forehead against Dick's and closed his eyes. He was so thankful to have Dick alive and sitting here. He then opened his eyes after a minute to see Dick staring up at him. Wally chuckled and moved downwards, brushing his lips against Dick's smooth ones. He then pulled back and cupped Dick's face in between his hands. 

"Dick...no one hates you. We all care about you. Please....please see that, okay?'' said Wally. Dick then lean forward and kissed Wally gently upon his lips and then he pulled back from him.
''Okay'' was all Dick said and Wally smiled at him. He then turned to look over at Roy who had a grin upon his face and was shaking his head.

They waited for a bit in the hospital until Dick finally seemed to had enough, then the two red heads broke Dick out of the hospital and headed straight towards Roy's apartment.

Once the three of them arrived there Wally called Artemis and Kaldur and told them that he had found Robin and he was safe. He then told them that both he and Robin needed to lay low for a bit before coming back.

Dick was laying on the sofa while Roy was in the kitchen making popcorn for them to eat while they watched a movie. Wally quickly stepped out of the room and into the hallway to call Alfred to let him and Bruce know that Dick was safe and fine. Once the call ended he turned around and saw Roy standing in the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest.

"So, how long do you plan to hide out here and keep this whole thing a secret? Cause Bats will find out eventually and the longer you wait the worst it will be.'' said Roy. Wally sighed.

"I know, but I can't force him to go back...not yet. He needs his space, he needs to heal without having to always keep the act up that he is totally fine. I...I need to keep him away so I don't lose him. I-I I can't lose him Roy, I can't.'' said Wally. Roy nodded his head.

"I know.'' said Roy and they made their way back inside the apartment to watch some movies. Roy and Dick shared a bowl of popcorn, while Wally got his own bowl, being the largest one Roy own by the way.

Dick laid his head in Wally's lap with his legs stretched out, his feet lightly laying on Roy's leg. They watched the movie and ate some popcorn. Soon Dick fell asleep with Wally running his fingers through his hair. Wally knew how much Dick liked it and how it calms him down. Wally smiled as he looked down at his baby brother, his best friend...his boyfriend. Wally sighed and glanced over at Roy for a second. All could have been lost, they could have lost Dick to suicide. That fear still laid tight within their chests. They feared of him relapsing, and trying again. Scared that he would cut again. They both knew that relapses are going to happen while Dick was trying to get better and recover but that didn't mean it didn't worry them and scare the crap out of them.

They both sat there watching the movie and every so many minutes both of them glancing down at Dick to make sure he was alright.

The movie came to an end and all three brothers were fast asleep.
