Wally was halfway through the portal. Fleeing the world that was quickly unraveling into nothingness. When he heard it, a child crying.

He surged backwards scooping up the kid and darting through the portal. Only stopping to catch his breath once safe.

Wally froze as he got a good look at the kid. It was you. He had always thought of you as a little sibling, but you died young. Leaving a hole in his life. Now he had a second chance to keep you safe.
