(open) memory share
who: Wally West + you
what: Memory sharing and whatnot
when: Oct 9-23
where: Wherever needed
warnings: angst? Spoilers for DC Rebirth.
(one) Back when we thought we knew everything - First person
[ This memory begins with this guy looking back at you with a bemused expression. The fact he is soaked to the bone might have something to do with it. A quick glance to your right reveals a a third occupant in the room; a dark-haired teenage girl holding a bucket of water balloons.
The girl's free hand is covering her mouth in an attempt to stifle her giggles. Your own red-gloved hands come up as you try to placate the soaked young man while your body shakes from your own laughter.
"C'mon, Speedy. I was just showing Wonder Girl here how to have some fun. Can't you handle a little prank?"
Apparently, the answer to that question is no as Speedy mutters a quick "You're dead, West" and lunges towards you. All Speedy ends up grasping is air as you blur across the room in an instant. Speedy is undeterred by this, but before he can try something again, the girl steps in to play peacemaker.
"Okay, boys, that's enough. You're getting water all over the place, Harper."
The soaked teenager opens his mouth, to protest no doubt, but thinks better of it. He says something about having to change his clothes as he begins to grumpily walk back through the door; sending a final look in your direction to let you know there will be some prank payback.
Your eyes linger on the door after Speedy closes it behind him; which is why you fail to notice the water balloon headed in your direction until it hits you squarely in the chest, water splashing all over you. You sputter for a moment, before looking back at the girl who is wearing a big grin on her face.
"You were right, West. This was fun."
All you can do is offer her a thumbs up for a job well done. ]
(two) Lost outside of time and reality - First person; vision
[ The first part of memory starts with you in a void outside of time and reality. This void is known as the Speed Force -- an extra-dimensional energy source that speedsters draw their power from. It's also where a speedster goes when they tap into the source too much or push themselves beyond the limits. Not that you know any of this.
There's a sense of hope as visions from across time and realities flicker about with no real clarity. Something has happened, and the opportunity for this person to push against the barrier to make contact with someone back in the real world has finally arrived.
Their (first) attempt at contact takes you to what appears to be a cave that is anything but ordinary where a man wearing a strange costume is waiting. There is lightning crackling all around as the man asks who you are.
"I'm younger than you would remember. We all are. My name is Wally..."
The pain you feel is almost unbearable as the connection isn't strong enough. But this person named Wally continues on despite the pain.
"Remember how you got the letter! The letter you got from your father! It's how all this started!"
The man doesn't fully understand, not yet anyway. He tells you not to go as he reaches out for you. But, the Speed Force will not be denied its prize and it claims you once again. ]
(three) A love forgotten - Third person
[ Rain is falling as a young man, who can only be Wally himself in his Kid Flash uniform, stands before a young woman sprawled out on the ground with lightning swirling and crackling around him. The expression on his face is one of pure elation while the woman's was mixed with confusion and fear.
He should have noticed how scared she was. But, he had been looking for her for so long and was so certain of their love that he believed she was going to anchor him back to reality like she had done so many times before.
He sticks out a gloved hand, asking her to take it so he can come home. She doesn't. All she can do is stutter out a "You are..." while she scrambles to her feet. Further explanation from him is going to be needed.
"Someone who loves you very much. We helped each other. We will again. We'll help everyone. But it starts with us, Linda. You and me."
The words don't help to clear up her confusion, they lead to her uttering four words -- "I don't know you" -- that has his world come crashing down. He doubles over as he is hit with an excruciating amount of pain while the lightning begins to engulf him; the Speed Force is trying to pull him back.
All he has time for is one last desperate plea to get her to remember.
"Linda, it's me! It's Wally! Wally West! God, please let her remember me."
But it is too late. Lightning clouds his vision as the connection is severed for good. ]
