It was probably a good thing Wally had just gone shopping--there was food in the apartment, and he had promised Kara food. And clean. He should clean up

Kara flew over as fast as she could, which meant the Wally probably was bored out of his mind and would tease her about him being faster than her or something. He wasn't, though! She was faster than Kal at times! Still, that wasn't the point

Wally nodded slowly, listening to Kara. She'd caught him on the way back from getting his book, but that was forgotten as he let it drop to the floor.
"I know," he told her with a slight smile. "You told me you didn't do it, and I believed you. You've... been pretty honest with me through all of this. I didn't think you'd lie after the fact."
He crossed toward her and pulled her into a hug. She... really looked like she needed one. "I'm not disappointed in you," he told her quietly. "Promise. Everyone feels like that sometimes--me too--and it's how you deal with it when it happens that makes you a hero. You're still a hero--I'm proud of you."
She still felt like crap. She could picture Wally's face the whole time she was there, watching Catalina, and then his face after if she'd done it and it bothered her more than she could admit.
Kara leaned into his hug. "Really?" She hoped he meant it. Out of everyone, for some reason, his opinion meant the most. Maybe because most everyone else was pretty much her own age, but Wally was in the League! He worked with Kal and Diana and Bruce, and she didn't want them to know, ever. But Wally knew everything. "How can you be proud of me. I screwed up."
"Yeah, really. You didn't screw up." He started rubbing small circles into her back. "You didn't go through with it. That's kind of a big thing. You don't think the rest of us have been there? Wanted what you wanted?" He shook his head a little. She had to know that wasn't true. "None of us are perfect, Kara--not even in the League."
