I was sitting in my room listening to the radio and the DJ introduced a song by Taylor Swift. The opening chords rang out and then the first lines came out reminding me about the fight Wally and his ex had one day…

You're on the phone
With your girlfriend
She's upset

…Wally was pacing trying to sort out things with his girlfriend Linda Park over the phone. From what I can tell it's something about cheating. Then he tried a joke…

She's going off about
Something that you said
'cause she doesn't get your humor
Like I do

…Sure it was funny, his jokes rarely are, but due to circumstances, I could barely hide my laughter. I ran out before I got him in trouble. He'd be murdered if she heard me too. Dead teammates are bad company.

I'm in the room
It's a typical Tuesday night

Typically boring with a tonne of homework from the horrible school known as Gotham Academy. So I turn on the radio and an awesome song comes on…

I'm listening to the kind of music
She doesn't like

…Raise Your Glass by P!nk comes on and Wally comes into the common room when it came on. He started complaining about Linda and how she hates everything good like P!nk…

She'll never know your story
Like I do

I suppose she'll never know the side most of the world sees, Kid Flash. A lot of people can claim to know him but me and the team knows both him and guy under the mask too. Better than most people

But she wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers

I've seen her picture, she's nice and all but why do I care? Probably because I feel a pang when I hear about their dates...

Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time

…I wonder why he puts up with her if he finds her so annoying. Probably something to do with popularity. All guys always want that I guess.

If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you

I'm the one who helps him whoop ass and can tell when he needs help but won't admit it. I help him when he needs it, not wants it

Been here all along
So why can't you
See you belong with me
You belong with me.

I smile at the irony that I hate him but I can't help feel happy when he's near. It's kinda why I fight with him. Hearing that I'm right is a bonus.

Walking the streets
With you and your worn out jeans

Walking helps clear a person's head and doing it with someone else helps even more. Wally was the only one available one day. Everyone else had something else to do strangely enough…

I can't help thinking
This is how it ought to be

…Talking with Wally was actually a lot easier than fighting with him. I almost can't help thinking maybe it would be better if we did stop fighting…

Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?

…It would certainly be better for everyone else as well as us because even Kaldur was complaining about it. I smile as an easy silence settles between us…

And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole town

…He smiles too and I can't help but notice how nice it is…

I haven't seen it in awhile
Since she brought you down

…I realized how little I've seen it recently and I ask what's up and …

You say you're fine
I know you better than that

…He tried lying to me but I could see through them. He can see this and tells the truth. Then I asked him …

Hey what you doing
With a girl like that

…He didn't have an answer.

She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
I'm on the bleachers

I can't help but think of ways to hurt her the way I see she's changed him. He no longer hangs out with Robin, plays video games or hits on M'gann. It's shocking…

Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time

…I'm even tempted to ask Robin to help.

If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you

I know what it's like to be trapped by someone who supposedly loves you. He knows about my dad…

Been here all along
So why can't you
See you belong with me

…Heck even M'gann and Conner have given him weird looks…

Standing by and
Waiting at your backdoor

…All I can think is…

All this time
How could you not know
Baby
You belong with me
You belong with me.

[Instrumental]

Oh, I remember
You driving to my house
In the middle of the night

He ran to my house one night and told me about an exciting prank he and Robin just pulled on Roy. It was funny to hear what Roy did to get them back.

I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry

Ironically I cheered him up one day when I told about him a story I read on about a show called "X-Men: Evolution". It was where the characters were singing (song name) at the same time. He cracked when I told him about Mystique, Professor X and Magneto singing.

And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams

During a game of "Truth or Dare" he made us do, for whatever goddamned reason it was. He confessed he wanted to be a scientist or a doctor and help people outside of the hero biz.

Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me

I can't help thinking…

Have you ever thought
just maybe
you belong with me?

The song's finishing chords rang through my head as I thought about who the song reminded me of. Wally. How though? He's annoying, repulsive and…kinda…cute?! What the hell have I been eating?! It must be the heat or something. Yeah, heat. Wally zips into my room, at which point I threw a pillow at him, and asks "While everyone else is busy would you like to go for a walk?" "Sure Baywatch." I turn off the radio and grab a hat. He's still standing in the doorway when I want to go out so I pinch him. He comes out of a daydream and moves out of the way rubbing his arm. I grab his hand and drag him out. Just before the zeta beams flash I swear I could have heard a certain, bird-like, cackle.
