Summary
After a minor traffic accident and an unpleasant reminder of his own past trauma, Wally finds himself crashing in Dick's spare room. It happens more often than not, Wally running away to Dick's when he hits a bump in the road, and this time he might just be brave enough to talk about why. Maybe. If he doesn't chicken out.
Featuring Wally crying over spicy food, Jason accidentally implying that Wally can't read, the lurking presence of Bruce Wayne and iPad Garth.

Summary
'It prompts Dick to ask Wally whether he managed to get all his adult stuff in order, things like changing the address on his licence and signing up for a doctor’s office. Wally says that everything is in motion and then Dick asks whether he’s got a new therapist lined up.
‘My therapist gave me some recommendations for the area,’ Wally admits without looking up at Dick. ‘But, I don’t know, I’m not sure it’s something I still need.’
Dick stops slotting the books onto the shelf. He had thought something like this might happen and he had to be careful in how he spoke about it. He didn’t want Wally to think that he didn’t have faith in him, or their relationship, but it wasn’t all that long ago that Wally had disociated so badly that he’d gotten on a three hour train to Dick’s house without realising it. Stuff like that didn’t just go away.'
With Wally's move to Bludhaven, both him and Dick are enjoying the honeymoon phase of their relationship. There's just one problem. Wally doesn't think he needs to see a therapist anymore. Dick disagrees. They both have different opinions on talking about it, too.
