Freedom!
Was the first thing that came to his mind as he smelt the fresh air and looked crazy in the eyes of anybody who was strolling by.
There is only so much you can do when your forced to stare at steel walls all day and pray that you would be taken out for the next delivery.
He began to walk and didn't even know where he was going, he didn't recognise a single thing and just shrugged and thought he would follow the crowd of people and see where they were going.
He found himself at what he assumed was the town centre and it was shopping galore.
While he oogled the stuff, he prayed his employer would allow him to take back with him, certain people were oogling him but more out of shock than desire.
He looked an awful lot like Wally West, but they had been told the dude had died or moved away.
He went into his first shop and found out it was a pet store, only to look in disappointment.
He highly doubted his employer would allow him to keep a pet but one could only dream.
He walked out and went to a clothing store next, he looked in the man's section, and was completely oblivious that a few people were staring at him.
There was three people who were his former classmates in the section to shop for their husbands or boyfriends.
They were looking at him.
He even walked past them but he showed no recognition in his eyes.
He went to pay for the clothes with his sweet new card and then walked out.
But it wasn't long before his stomach let itself be known and he went in search for food.
He went to a fast food place not knowing it used to be his favourite place to be as a teenager, all the workers looked pretty shocked to hear his heavily accented voice and the food was nostaglic to his taste buds.
Some people stared at him as he ate before leaving and heading to whatever random store he chose.
Unknown to him, his own parents were shopping in that very supermarket and a lot of the people he formally went to school with also.
It was a very popular place to hang out, his legs immediately went to snacks as soon as his eyes bore witness to the sign.
However, he apparently wasn't the only one who immediately made a beeline for snacks.
There were four people in the isle and with an orange shopping basket, he walked past his own parents without even realising, but he didn't just do that, he stood right next to his own mother as he started picking.
However, the two sets of eyes, drilling holes into him right next to him could not be ignored.
He met the eyes of a large man with black hair and moustache and a woman with orange hair and who looked uptight.
He thought he was blocking their sight to something and moved.
Their eyes followed him, in fact their neck craned to see him better.
He blinked; a bit creeped out.
He decided to take whatever and walked to another isle.
He didn't even need toiletries but he just felt he had to get away.
He felt that ungodly heavy stare and looked to the corner of his eye to see the couple right behind him, he turned down an isle and they followed. staring directly at him all the while doing it.
He continued to walk down and saw roasted chicken, he had to resist the goodness because there was no way to preserve it.
But it smelled so good..
Instead he got a bunch of baked bread before he went to another isle and that's when they decided to strike.
"Excuse me" said, a woman voice.
He turned around and saw the two who had been following him.
He immediately clenched his basket and made a move as if he would cause commotion if something happened.
"We aren't trying to start a fight with you, boy" said, the man.
"Boy?" he said, showing his voice was completely different from their son's. "I'm almost 30, I don't qualify as a boy. Why are you and your wife following me?"
Both of them were shocked.
He was well-spoken but clearly a foreigner.
"Sorry, we mistook you for somebody else" said, the woman. "It's not every day we run into somebody who looks so much like our son, Wally"
Wally?
His eyes widened at that.
Surely, it's nothing more than a mere coincidence.
"Well, I'm not him, so can you two stop following me?" he said, "It's not every day, I get a day off from my employer. I would like to do so in peace"
That face and voice did not match.
He was so cold.
Wally went to check his items out, only for the cashier lady to say.
"Sir, we need an ID to prove your over 21" she said.
"What?" he said.
"Sorry, it's come straight from the government" she said,
He sighed and took out his work ID, not know she used to be a former classmate, she was inwardly shocked by the name but then okay it for purchase and gave it back to him, Wally could feel several people behind him craning their necks to see his ID.
He finished purchasing and then went on his way.
He walked out and decided to head to somewhere just to sit down, he had no idea that the couple that had been following him before, had called a certain speedster.
By the time he finally managed to sit on the bench, the whole Justice League and those outside was aware of him.
He sat down at the nearby park and just started eating.
In normal clothes, some superhero's passed him disguised as normal people and he had no idea but if he knew, his hair would stand up on end.
"Excuse me" suddenly somebody said and he was suddenly approached by two police officers, when in reality it was Barry Allen and Hal Jordan, The Flash and Green Lantern, the two closest that could do this job on such short notice.
"Yes?" Wally said, not showing panic and know he hadn't robbed anything.
"We just receive a phone call about a criminal who was seen around this area" said, Hal, coming up with a very excuse to talk to him. "We just wanted to ask if you have seen anything suspicious lately?"
And him with his new voice said. "Sorry, I haven't seen anything suspicious officers"
"We'll, we would like to see your ID" said, Barry. "We're doing a check on all the residence here. This criminal has quite the persuasive power and we cannot rule out that he tricked an innocent civilian into helping him"
"Oh, sure" he said. "I got a work ID, will that do? Sorry, I left my car at home"
"That would be fine" said, Barry.
He rampaged through his pocket and was in mid handing over his ID when it finally clicked for him where he had heard this guy's voice from.
The Flash.
His employer had made sure to show him all the superhero's in action and all of them had talked without a voice changing at one point or the other.
This guy sounded exactly like the Flash.
He froze and said. "Sorry, I just realised this ID has an expired number on it, my name is very common in my country, it would be a real pain to track me down. This ID won't be any use for you"
Both of them looked at each other not suspecting a thing.
"We'll, then you can come with us to do a finger print instead" said, Hal.
And he agreed and followed them.
"Oh, I forgot my bag" said, Wally, stopping and jogging to get the bag from the bench.
The problem was, when he took the bag, he didn't turn around and follow.
He ran.
The few seconds that it took for their brain to comprehend that he was running away from them, was vital and he exploited it like crazy.
"HEY!" yelled, Barry.
Both of them began running after him.
However, he didn't stop, he immediantely went into the crowd of people, knowing full well, it was a lot harder for superhero's to use their powers when they didn't have a mask on in a crowded place, he used his brain to run fast enough to be considered running to get on a bus or trying to catch a Taxi.
"Taxi!" he yelled, at the sidewalk.
An army of taxis responded immediately after smelling money and excitement in the air.
A yellow taxi pulled up and he hopped in.
He merely said. "Step on the gas, I'm being followed by bad people"
The driver stepped on it, having watched too many movies so he had been waiting for this moment all his life.
Seeing the car speeding off after seeing him for a bit, both of them had no choice but to slow down.
"I don't understand what tipped him off?" said, Barry Allen.
"Maybe, your police uniform was convincing enough" said, Hal getting a frown from him.
Barry decided to use his ear piece.
"Hey, Batman-" he began.
"I haven't lost him" said, the bat himself on the other end, tracking him through satellite. "Impulse has been alerted and so has everybody else. We either are dealing with a very careful man or he has something to hide"
They may be looking at Wally.
The moment the taxi stopped, he paid for it and began to run.
To the man he disappeared in the blink of an eye, making his eyes widen several notches.
However, who to make his way to him was none other than Kid Flash or somebody with his suit on.
"Hey, slow down buddy" said, Bart Allen. "Where's the rush?"
Wally, stared at the suit, something about the suit felt familiar to him that went beyond 'Just Kid Flash' suit.
"You super's just won't leave me alone, will you?" he said, before he dropped kicked Bart, who didn't expect it at all.
The now late teen was sent flying but recovered, only to receive more than what he wasn't prepared for, even though they both went through the same training regime but what Wally had on his side was far more experience than Bart could never hope to bridge the gap of.
Wally body was never let go and he had kept it fit ever since he opened his eyes.
Suddenly he had the speedster in a choke hold.
Bart didn't even have time to open his mouth when Wally knocked him out cold and dragged him into a alleyway.
Wally noticed the earpiece and took it out of his ear and said directly in it, pretty much for all those connected to hear.
"Listen up, all your hero's. Stay the hell away from me. Your friend Kid Flash got lucky this time but next time I won't be so forgiven. So be good little hero's and watch as this world falls into Chaos led by Villianous I'm sure, you all got something better to do than following me"
He then crushed the earpiece and walked out.
When the others found Kid Flash and brought him back, they were all shocked by the tale that Wally did strangle him without an ounce of remorse on their face.
"The way he looked at me" said, Bart Allen. "That wasn't Wally. His eyes were so cold. He honestly scared me. What did Villianous do to him?"
They were all silent.
"Poor Artemis" said, Nightwing. "Knowing Wally is alive and having-"
Suddenly Red Tornado blasted something and they saw a tiny smoke prop from the sky.
"A bug" said, the new Robin.
That wasn't good, how long had it been following them?
Apparently long enough.

He had hacked into her file and looked too see something very interesting.
She was married to Wally West who died several years ago.
Oh.
He got a notification that Wally returned and John knew he had some reading to do.
He had found his superhero to take down.
