kinda on the run from the government...? it's a long story
i'm a little lost, though i think i'm always a bit lost atp. i couldn't tell you what's happening either, i guess the multiverse exists? idk why im surprised really. fuck my life.
TW: this blog contains references to suicide, self harm, suicidal thoughts, overdoses, canon typical gore and violence, etc. i won't go into detail of these outside of lit rps most likely.

OOC / BG INFO:
This is Wally from the Absolute Universe!! I've decided to just have his thing here be multiverse shenanigans for the most part, though i may do some things with the actual absolute universe... probably have those differentiated by having anything that happens within Wally's home universe be under a tag.
Wally is based heavily upon the comics as they are one of my favorites, but also with a large mix of headcanons because i am nothing if not self indulgent!
On that note i'll be portraying Wally as being Trans, FTM or Transmasc, for my own entertainment.
If you have not read the absolute flash comics dw, the basis around him is that he's on the run from the government and specifically the scientist Elenore Thawne (yes shes the granddaughter of that Thawne) after he gained super speed abilities during a failed experiment that Dr Barry Allen was attempting, which in the end killed Barry.
Wally was a military brat who lived on the military base these experiments were being done with his father Colonel Rudy West. Wally's mother is dead, having committed suicide two years prior.
He has a difficult relationship with his father, (and I will probably portray Rudy in a bad light bc i actually hate this guy but whatever- cough.) with them arguing constantly and having a good amount of emotional distance. He doesn't have any friends besides Grodd, the psychic monkey he befriended, and Linda from the Youth Mission he's staying at.
if you want more details obviously read Absolute Flash for yourself, and I highly recommend it because I really enjoyed all of what I've read so far (as I've only read up to issue #14 as i'm writing this because the others arent out on the site i read with yet.)

āIā¦havenāt seen you before. Or heard of you. Areā¦how old are you?ā
*Kal looks cautiously, observing carefully*
( @son-of-el )
Wally backs away a bit, looking a little bewildered as he looks up at him.
"Um...you- oh shit, uh you're that like...Super guy? I've seen videos of you online I think, um...I mean that makes sense I'm not like- famous or anything."
He pauses at the question, blinking before folding his arms.
"No...not really. My Mom's dead and my Dad's...kinda gone. I don't think he could help much anyways."
He pauses, sighing. Wally's not sure how else to explain what happened to his dad. He's scared he won't ever be able to find him really.
"I know...I just don't have much of a choice I guess. I was dragged into a lot of this and uh...I've got bad people after me, so I can't stay in one place for very often. But uh- oh, uh...thanks! You too...I guess?"
āIām sorry to hear thatā *says Kal quietly, looking thoughtful. He doesnāt know what else to say, how to offer advice on this particular matter.*
āIfā¦If it helps, I know what itās like. Iā¦was moving around alot for a while, in places that I could help. Iā¦know itās not the same thing, I guess. Butā¦if you ever end up near Smallvile thenā¦I can help.ā
*He looks undeniably earnest, if a little sad. Thereās still so much hurting this world, more then what he can stop alone. But helping people who are already hurt is just as important.*
"It's...fine, I've been on my own for a while, I've got things handled."
Wally mumbles a bit with a shrug. He's not sure how truthful that is, really. He can handle himself, and all the shitty parts that come with being a hero and having his abilities. He's done it for this long, right? That probably means he can handle it.
"It...yeah, I'm helping where I can too. Right now I think things have settled, Dr. Thawne kinda disappeared after we banished her weird Grandpa turned eldritch horror back to the Stand Still- along with my Dad...which kinda sucks."
He explains, talking a bit faster as he rushes through the explanation.
"But uh, I'm still being cautious considering she might still wanna cut me open and junk."
He shrugs again, shivering a bit at the aspects of that. Wally's capable of seeing thousands of alternate futures, the ones where he's taken by Thawne weren't pretty.
"Smallville? Where's that? I can run around the entire world in only a few seconds so I'm sure I can just pop by there whenever....if you want me too, anyways."
He adds the last bit with a nervous smile, staring at his shoes.
*Kal nods. He remembers getting experimented on all too clearly. The sharp pains and flashes of memoriesā¦itās not an experience he would wish on someone else, much less someone whoās clearly innocent.*
āItās good to be careful about that sort of thingā *nods Kal. He had Sol to help him back before the fight for Smallville. It was hard, to get used to Sol not constantly giving him advice anymore, and even when Sol didnāt want Kal to fight someone, it would still help, even if it was to make sure Kal didnāt get hurt. Doing it alone is so much harder, he canāt imagine where heād have ended up if he had never had Sol with him.* āThereā¦are alot of people like that. Especially people who think they can make money of you or use you to be selfish butā¦there are good people too!ā
*Kal gives an awkward smile, looking a bit shy*
āSmallvilleās a little bit south of Interstate 70. Uh, there should be a sign there, too? You donātā¦you donāt need to trust me, or visit butā¦itās nice to have somewhere to return too sometimes. I wouldnāt have invited you if I didnāt mean it, you know?ā
"It...yeah, I'm trying to avoid telling anyone I uh...don't already trust. But there's not many. They've sent teams of people after me and tracked me before...I'm hoping the fact the lab was mostly destroyed makes it so I can actually stay in one place without looking over my shoulder for now."
Wally explains with a small shrug before looking back up at Kal. He pauses at that before humming.
"I'll keep it in mind...uh, I'm Wally by the way. I'll have to run by there sometime then."
āI know what you meanā¦Smallville has good people though. Most of them will keep their mouths shut if they see anything weird, and the ones that donātā¦they learn eventually.ā
*He shrugs, his expression briefly flickering into grief before he schools it into something friendlier*
āItāsā¦nice to meet you Wally. Iām Kal-Elā¦uh, my friends normally call me Kal though. And sometimes Clark, but I mostly go by Kal. I might not be around but if I amā¦Iāll be at the Kentās farm. Anyone in town can tell you where it is.ā
*Kal gives an awkward smile, hoping he didnāt scare Wally off*
