Pairings: Robin/Kid Flash, former/soon to be over Flash/Kid Flash (Wally is 18 in this story, Robin is 16).

The brief Flash/Kid Flash in this story will not last. In some ways, this could be read as a commentary on the reality of that pairing (analyze that, English class).

Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice.

Warnings: Non-graphic slash (except kissing), mild coarse language (I even removed the word and replaced it with some fun exclamation points).


Robin played back the video footage taken the hidden cameras he had installed in Wally's house.

Jealously and disgust raged throughout his body, forcing his hair to stand on end as he anxiously typed into the keyboard and pressed play. Every muscle tensed up, ready for a long overdue fight.

"I'm so *! #$! whelmed right now!" Robin snarled into the darkness of his room, which was only illuminated by the eerie, unnatural glow of his computer. He couldn't deal with Alfred and Bruce right now.

Robin wanted to go to Jump City and smear the Flash's guts across the streets.

When Wally said that he was dating someone several months before, Robin had faked happiness for his friend. Eventually, Wally had confessed that his special someone was a guy. Robin had gritted his teeth together, inwardly fuming, but he still managed to smile and congratulate Wally for being able to tell him.

The boy wonder hadn't been able to resist breaking into the Allen home and installing hidden cameras. Bruce probably did the same thing; it was like a family tradition. It would catch whoever was dating his Wally, but could easily be explained as an attempt to protect his friend from the criminals of Central City. Either way, Robin had installed the cameras because he cared…and craved for Kid Flash.

Wally West should be Robin's and not the twisted boy-toy of Barry Allen. The Flash had a perfectly nice wife; he was playing with not only her feelings but Robin's by fooling around with Wally.

Robin sped the footage up to where Barry began slowly nibbling Wally's ears before descending on his young protégée in a way too passionate kiss. The teen wasn't able to stomach watching further, quickly turning it off in an all too forceful slam against the keyboard. He swooped up in a flip back to his bed, wrapping himself in the covers as he hoped for comforting dreams.

Robin experienced another nightmare that night, but it wasn't of his parents' deaths. Images of Wally and Barry danced in his mind, eliciting muffled screams from the boy wonder. In one dream, Wally went so far as to reject Richard, both as a friend and crush. Wally defined Robin, for without the redhead, the boy wonder felt like nothing but his talents and crime-fighting record. Wally West gave him the spark to laugh and live life to the fullest. Robin could not return to his life pre-Wally.

Wally was his best friend and deserved to be his, but Barry Allen was wrong and transgressed every ethical code of the Justice League. Robin looked back to memories of his brother Jason; killing criminals in the name of vigilantism didn't seem so apprehensible anymore. Maybe Bruce would understand Robin's need to break the bat family's code...


Iris shifted onto Barry's side and into the embrace of his arms. The Flash was passed out: too exhausted to notice her moving closer towards him. She missed being close both physically and emotionally to her husband; he was always busy whether it was with his job, fighting crime, or training her nephew/adopted son.

At first, she had been glad that Wally and Barry spent more time together. After his father Rudy had abandoned his family and Mary later slipped into a depression that she later committed herself for, Wally needed both Iris and Barry to give Wally the experience of having a caring and involved family. Despite this, Barry began to spend more time with Wally than Iris; the teen and her always seemed to compete for Barry's attention.

Suddenly, Barry shoved Iris away from him, leaving a distance of two or so feet between him. Even subconsciously, Barry was beginning to push her away.

Something was wrong with her husband and she needed to find out. Barry would never admit to his problems; Iris couldn't even tame his ego and stubbornness sometimes. If she wanted answers, she must try asking the one person whom Barry still talked to on a frequent basis.

Wally must know something to help her get the old Barry back.


The now eighteen-year-old speedster sat back on the couch with his legs resting on the coffee table.

"Kiss me?"

Barry didn't hesitate into grasping Wally forcefully and jamming their lips together in a kiss. As their lips slowly became slicker, Barry slipped his tongue farther into Wally's mouth, eliciting a moan from the teen. The two broke apart, huskily panting.

"Aunt Iris has been acting differently lately."

"Iris. Don't call her aunt."

Although Wally was tired and felt overpowered by their make-out session, his eyes widened as his voice shot, "Why? She is my aunt by blood."

"Don't. Please, for me?"

"Why? She's your wife."

"Kid…just don't okay? I might be married to her, but we have something she and I will never have. And I don't like you calling her aunt; I don't want to think of you as my nephew."

"You've always been there for me, Barry," Wally shrugged off any concerns and accepted Barry's response.

"I'll continue to be there for you, Kid. Let's clean up before she gets home."


AN: I've jumped onto the bandwagon! Yes! Haha. I've finally written a fic with Robin as a main character and I desperately wanted him to swear. Anyway, Wally/Barry in this story won't be graphic beyond kissing. Based on the way I wrote the pairing, it's not likable and I was in no way subtle about what will happen in this story.

Anyway, should Batman be paired with anyone?
