Part One

Dark smooth locks. Eyes covered with a white mask. Lips that were formed in what he could only assume was a sneer. The first thought that ran into his mind was, 'Bloody hell-this is one heck of a nightmare'. So he pinched himself and emitted a loud yelp. The raven haired knelt down in front of him and on instinct he backed up. The second thought that came to mind was, 'Not a nightmare, definitely reality, not good.'

The other boy reached out to him and Wally flinched at the contact. "Relax will you? I'm just pointing out that you've got some dirt in your face. Oh and uh...sticks stuck on your hair."

The red head glared, but reached up and tugged a few pieces out, all the while keeping his eye on the smaller boy before him. "Let me help you with that."

"Uh...no. I've got it. Why don't you just-" Hastily he took a quick view of his surroundings. A couple of folded chairs near a window, a flickering light bulb hanging just on top of them, and a rusted table near the center. Then he took notice of the blue hologram that shone from the raven haired's wrist. "-play with your game."

"It is not a game." The younger boy argued. "It's a computer that lets me hack anything. Not to mention it is a communication device-Wait. I can contact Batman."

"Batman? Why since when are you a hero?" Disbelief hung on to his tone.

He received a glare. "Oh yeah have you ever heard of Robin? Well I'm him." He gestured to his costume and that was when Wally took in the cape and the yellow "R" that lay prominent on the black background of the smaller teen's outfit.

"You're the boy wonder?" No way. This little runt is supposed to be the crime fighting acrobat that he's read about all over the news? Unbelievable.

The other boy snorted. "Yea, that's what the press keeps on calling me. A lame nickname if you asked me, but you already know I prefer to go by Robin."

"Why because it makes you sound like an unoppressed bird?"

Robin smirked. "Because it's a way better nickname of course."

"Says the little birdie." The red head replied. "So you're proud and too confident. From what I've heard in the news you're supposed to be a charming boy, but all I've seen is arrogance."

"And you're supposed to be dashing?"

"Hey I'm Kid Flash for a reason." Wally grinned pointing to his insignia.

"Yea, a 'kid' because you've still yet to learn to control your powers. Unlike me of course who's already had a year of training."

Wally scowled. "Like I said you're completely arrogant."

"And you're just a-" There was a whistling sound and suddenly bullets were shot from all around them, each one of them creating tiny holes in the wooden walls. "Get down!" Robin yelled, grabbing the red head's shoulders and making contact with the hard floor.

"What are you-urgh get off me!" Wally growled only to be cut off by a glove placed on his mouth.

"Will you just stay still for one minute?" Robin seethed, turning once to glare down at the struggling teen, before immediately ducking down.

There was another a bullet fired into the near tore down shed. Boom! Damn it that was too close for comfort. Two more shots followed. Boom! Boom! Wally growled; he couldn't just stay still and do nothing. "I can get us out of here." He whispered, when the shooting finally stopped. "I can carry you and run at lightning speed and we can escape."

"You sure you can handle my weight?"

"I'll just have to find out." He smirked and stooped down, effectively grabbing the other and held him, like a bride. "See you're just like a damsel; a perfect featherweight."

Robin blushed and hid his face into Wally's shoulder. "Just get us out of here." He ordered, voice slightly muffled.

The freckled teen grinned, only too happy to obey.

In the middle of a desert and underneath a blazing sun, Wally stopped running. "Sorry dude, ran out of fuel. You can get off now." He panted, placing his arms on his legs. "At least were miles away from those creeps."

Robin took a look at their surrounding, noting the endless sea of sand. "Geez, kid, how far did you run?"

"I don't know. I just ran."

"Great, well, do you have any idea where we could possibly be?"

Wally shrugged. "I'd say were near Blue Valley, but I'm guessing I'm probably wrong."

"You think? Look around us we're in a desert that's in the middle of nowhere!" Robin scowled as he pressed a button on his wrist and a blue light shone, emitting a holographic screen. "It's a good thing there's a map on this thing. Maybe we can find out where we are."

"Yeah and escape to home." Wally stood right next to him gazing at the map. "Let's see… so there's the middle east," he pointed at the screen. "and that's-"

"Bialya!" Robin exclaimed.

"So those soldiers that were shooting must have been-"

"Bialyan soldiers patrolling the area!"

"Dude! Will you stop cutting me off?"

"Not my fault my brain is faster than your feet."

"Hey!" Wally protested.

"Anyways," said Robin, focusing his attention on the screen. "We've got to make to contact with the league."

"Yea, but with who?"

"Who else but my mentor?" Robin smirked. He pressed a button on his ear. "Robin to Bat-" He stopped, a sudden memory of the dark knight telling him not to make any contact flashed in his mind.

"What so you're not going to do it?" asked the freckled teen, regarding his friend's hesitation.

"It seems were not supposed to make contact."

"What?"

"I don't know." said Robin, shaking his head. "I just got a flashback of Batman telling me that we're supposed to be working together on a mission with no outside contact."

"A mission? With you? Dude this seems more like one of my uncle's crazy tests if you ask me."

"Oh yea?" Robin crossed his arms.

"Yea, and I'm guessing I was supposed to survive on my own. Until, of course, you had to show up." He jabbed a finger at Robin's chest, pushing the other boy backwards.

Robin frowned. "You were asleep when I first found you." He stated.

"Did it ever occur to you that I could've been taking a nap?"

"It seemed more like you were out cold," was Robin's icy reply.

"I don't believe this!" Wally exclaimed. "So were stuck in a desert-"

"Bialya." Robin interjected.

"-with no possible contact and we're on a mission together with absolutely no help? This is crazy!"

"You're telling me. I can hardly believe it myself." Robin replied as he sat down on the sandy terrain.

"That's it! I am so outta here!" Wally was about to storm off, getting ready to run, when a sudden impact was created on the ground in front, leaving a large hole in its place.

Coal black hair combined with a mixture of angry sea-blue eyes, appeared before them. "Gah!" There was a shout of rage that sounded more like a wild bull about to charge when the bulky teen standing before them lunged himself at the shocked speedster.

"Kid!" Robin exclaimed, as he watched his fellow companion be thrown to the rocky terrain. With quick thinking, he grabbed several pairs of batarangs and threw it at the rampaging monster that was now heading towards him.

Bang! The batarangs managed to hit their target, but did nothing to stop the raging teen. Oh great, he was gonna be in a whole lot of pain. Robin closed his eyes, bracing himself for the impact that was sure to come when a familiar blur caught his attention. "Wal-" he nearly screamed in relief. He stopped, if this bull had heard his warning then Wally would have suffered more than just a fatal damage.

Robin was a second too late. The half-naked teen had heard his call and was now bound towards Wally. The half-naked teen had already had his arm pulled back, getting ready to land a punch, when a green arrow made sudden contact with his bare back, causing smoke to arise.

"Let's go!" Wally shouted, running back to Robin and throwing him over his shoulder.

"Hey put me down!" Robin protested. He squirmed helplessly to no effect. "The battle is not over!"

"Ow! Will you quit that? We gotta go!," As the red-haired teenager sped off, he could hear the distant sounds of a strangled scream.

Author's Note: This was supposed to be my take on what should have happened (or what could have happened) in, "Bereft". Not that I hated the moments that were shared between Wally and Artemis because let me tell you I totally squealed during those moments. It's just that I loved Wally/Dick more which what compelled me to write this fic, which is somewhat similar to the episode that was aired, but is different in its own right. So, umm...yeah, I would like to give my thanks to Chuchumarshmellow who did a good job of editing some minor errors. Review guys!
