Wally West, everyone knew him as the science geek, only a select few knew he was Kid Flash. Even fewer still, namely the Rogues and one other, knew what his home life was really like. Wally would never put his problems onto someone else, and he always kept his hero life separate from his civilian life until the day he had been dreading happened, when his two worlds collided. It had started out as a typical enough day, get thrown around by his day, go to school, hang out with Rachel Hunt, James Jesse, and Hartley Rathaway, two of which were in fact Rogues, but they were okay. Besides the Rogues all behaved when Rachel was around anyhow as she was Captain Cold and Mind Scream's daughter.

Rachel had long, dark hair, tied back in a braid, forest green eyes, and a mischievous nature that rivaled her cousin's. Yes, her cousin was in fact James Jesse, Trickster, and it was because of her that he never hurt anyone during his crimes and heaven help the villain who hurt Kid Flash, as Rachel was also a speedster, she'd been walking by when Wally recreated the Flash experiment, she'd get there before Flash and scramble said villain's mind. Maybe make them speak Italian for two months straight or something along those lines, as it was none of the rogues wanted to deal with a teenaged psychic female speedster. Rachel was telepathic, a telekinetic, and a teleporter. Combine that with her speed and look out.

Wally had been dating Rachel since before Young Justice was formed and only Robin knew this, in the hero set. That was how the male teen speedster wanted to keep things too. As long as he didn't seriously flirt with anyone Rachel wouldn't kill him. Most of the time he stayed at either his uncle's place or Rachel's place, as she lived with her father, when he was in jail she'd live with Barry and Iris. As an unspoken agreement neither side worked to kill each other, they just went until one side went down. The few times one of the Rogues slipped and hurt Kid Flash, well… let's just say they never did it again for a long time to come. Rachel could be very scary when it came to Wally's safety.

After school on that particular day Rachel, James, and Hartley are all grabbed by Lex Luthor. A control collar was placed on Rachel, and the other two were helpless to do anything. Rachel was seething, it seemed like Luthor didn't know she was a speedster as well, but that wouldn't help with this situation. She had a pre-established link with Wally, but she couldn't let Luthor know that. Why had he grabbed them, had them grabbed? James and Hartley are pissed beyond belief that the Metropolian scum Luthor had grabbed them. What did he want, and why them?

" Rach, you okay? " James asks her when they're settled into their new "room" courtesy of Lex Luthor.

" For now. " Rachel whispers.

Hartley and James grimace, being a speedster Rachel would need food soon. They could only hope that help was on the way. They knew Rachel didn't dare let Luthor know she was in fact Quick Flash, and Quick Flash was slated to be introduced to Young Justice later on today. Hopefully that would get the ball rolling to find Rachel, and fast, as Rachel hadn't eaten since lunch, and being a speedster she needed to eat almost constantly. Which truly sucked for her. James and Hartley were better off, though they knew Rachel could slow down her metabolism to a point, especially if it meant keeping Luthor from finding out she was speedster too.

Mt. Justice:

" Hot Rod, where is she? " Flash asks Kid Flash.

" Don't know, she said she'd be here, she was just going to make sure that James and Hartley didn't get into any trouble, you know, the usual. " Kid Flash says.

Flash smirks Rachel Hunt was the only person he knew of that could get all of the Rogues to behave. Flash knew Captain Cold was a good father to her and had agreed to not get in anymore trouble with the law until she was out of High School. Plus, she had worked a truce between her father and Wally so Wally could tutor her in science without having to worry about Captain Cold trying to deep freeze him. " KF, we have a problem, looks like someone decided it would be a good idea to grab QF, Trickster, and Piper. " Robin says, coming over.

" How do you know? " Kid Flash asks.

" Security camera footage. KF, when did she last eat? " Robin asks.

" Lunch, but if she's captured she'll be slowing her metabolism down, her psychic powers must be blocked, otherwise she would have teleported Trickster, Piper, and herself out of trouble. " Kid Flash states.

" True, so, now all we have to do is find them and retrieve them. If it isn't known by her captor that she's a speedster then she will go to any length to protect that secret. " Robin states.

Kid Flash keeps his thoughts to himself, though fear was running through his veins now. Never had he thought his lives as Kid Flash and Wally West would cross like this. Just the thought of his Rachel being held by someone was enough to fill him with terror. Thankfully, having been friends with and now dating a telepath he knew how to block himself off from a certain Martian female. He couldn't let anyone know of his true relationship with Quick Flash yet, even his aunt and uncle had yet to make the connection. Only because Rachel wasn't letting them do so.

Rachel knew how important it was to Wally to not let anyone know about their relationship, she actually felt the same way, only Robin and the Rogues knew, and the Rogues didn't want her pissed at them, plus, as Captain Cold had put it, he'd rather see his daughter with someone like Kid Flash anyhow, instead of Klarion the Witch boy. " Team, you have a mission, find and rescue Quick Flash, Trickster, and Pied Piper, yes, I know the last two are villains but they were with Quick Flash at the time of capture and Trickster is close to her. " Flash says.

" I thought Batman would be assigning us our mission today? " Artemis asks.

Red Arrow looks up, " Weren't we supposed to meet Quick Flash today? "

Flash sighs, " Yes, you were, but as previously stated you're going on a rescue op. Zantanna, you'll need to make sure there is plenty of food on the bioship, Quick Flash will need it. Kid Flash and Robin will actually go in and get her, as she knows and trusts them. She knows Red Arrow, but well, she hates his guts. "

Red Arrow grumbles at this, " I didn't know she was a telepath at the time and how was I to know she'd be so damn sensitive about comments about her mom, huh? "

Kid Flash looks at him, " There's a reason why she only works with me and Rob, we're the only two she trusts, unless you count Trickster and Pied Piper. She and Trickster have already kicked Joker out of Central City several times. Quick Flash is a pranking genius, the Queen of Pranks and Trickster just hates Joker, so when he tried to expand his territory they went up against him and beat him in an all-out prank war. "

Robin blinks, " I can remember seeing a picture of Joker dressed up as a ballerina Batman in Penguin's lair, come to think of it, that was Trickster and Quick Flash? "

Kid Flash grins, " That was them. "

" Is her personality anything like yours, Baywatch? " Artemis asks.

Robin intercedes quickly, knowing that Artemis had no clue as to how thin of ice she was on, " QF is like all speedsters, fun loving, but due to being Mind Scream's daughter she can be even worse than BC on a rampage. "

Aqua Lad, Red Arrow, Artemis, Superboy, M'gann, and Zatanna all look at Robin in shock, " Okay, I may just like this girl. " Artemis says, as her father was Sportsmaster and sister Cheshire, she could see how she might just get along with the female speedster.

" You trust her? " Aqua Lad asks.

" You can't blame her for who her parents are. " Artemis snaps.

Robin crooks an eyebrow at her, he knew her secret, no one else did, though he was the protégé of Batman, it was to be expected that he would know of her past and family.

Red Arrow sighs, " Artemis is right, we can't blame Quick Flash for who her parents are, she's probably just a little more willing to do what it takes to win, if she had to live with her mother at all. "

Kid Flash and Robin smirk, " You have no idea, she once made it so Batman couldn't move his body in the right way for a month, she scrambled the signals so that wanting to move his left arm would move the right leg and so on. He had dissed Kid Flash big time and that was her revenge, needless to say Batman does not want to end up on her bad side again. " Robin states.

The other members of Young Justice just stare, " Right, don't piss off Quick Flash. " Zatanna says firmly.

Red Arrow winces, " My very existence seems to piss her off. "

Kid Flash smiles, " Nah, it's just your personality. She hates that type of personality, you should see her with the jocks at school, they give her attitude she humiliates them. Don't even get me started on what she does to cheerleaders, she hates most of them, there are a few that she'll tolerate, but for the most part she hates them. "

M'gann blinks, " Hopefully she'll like me. "

" Don't worry, babe, she'll be able to help you with your telepathy. " Kid Flash says.

Robin was already working on trying to track down the missing three teens, he knew that Kid Flash was worried out of his mind, only he and Rachel were able to accurately read his body language. He knew KF worked hard to keep his civilian and hero lives separate, and he especially worked hard to keep anyone from knowing whom truly had his heart. One of KF's worst fears was losing Rachel. Though she healed up faster than anyone else could.

Rachel, meanwhile was putting up a strong front, though James could see what it was costing her. It would take every ounce of acting ability she had to keep Luthor from catching on to the fact that she was a speedster. Hartley was fingering a harmonica he had with him, he knew that he couldn't make a move until Kid Flash got there, and they knew Kid Flash would come for his Quick Flash. The Bird Boy would probably come as well. James had several of his tricks on him, but like Hartley he knew they had to wait, or else all could be lost.

It galled both of the younger Rogues that they had been grabbed, but they knew if Captain Cold ever found out that Luthor was behind this he would go ballistic, the other Rogues would help, hell it might be the one time that the Justice League teamed up with them.
