DC Universe: Back to the Future by femmedelalune
Back to the Future (Bart-Wally | PG | 2,842 words) has Wally and Bart getting to understand each other better. Both Bart and Wally are likeable, good people who mess up. I adore Wally, but he really does need a kick in the rear regarding Bart. And this fic is quite well done.
Excerpt:
"I'm going back to the thirtieth century, to join the Legion. For good. I mean, unless in looking through the history books I realise I come back here at some point, or I ought to have."
Wally stared at him. Bart looked completely serious. He held Wally's gaze, fidgeting with a wrench and obviously keen to get back to work.
Wally bit back another sigh. "Bart, you can't do that. Think of the people you'll hurt."
"Not you," Bart said quickly, mouth turning down. "And I've barely seen Helen at all for ages. Jay and Joan will probably say they'll miss me, but I've seen the grocery bills and besides, they've spent more of their lives without me around than they have with, so they shouldn't find it too hard to go back. Carol will totally understand why I'm doing this. Tim and Kon and Cassie and Cissie and everyone... Well, I mean, it's not like we’re anything like as close as we used to be or anything, and the Teen Titans will probably be glad I'm not around being bored and needing everything repeated and stuff. There's no one at all at school who would miss me. Have I left anyone out?"
