Just a random idea that popped into my head. You know the words Robin uses that aren't really real? Like whelmed and aster? Well, there's a name for them: neglected positives. I read about them in an awesome book called The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau, and she was obsessed with them. Thus, this very weird one-shot was born! And yes, Kid Flash is talking to his stomach. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Hmmm...surprise surprise! I don't own Young Justice!

Kid Flash looked up from his homework when he heard his stomach give a particularly loud growl. It sounded like a very pissed off dinosaur.

"Oh, are you hungry?" Kid Flash asked, and got another growl in returned. "Guess so." Getting up from his desk, the red-haired speedster opened his door and darted out of the room, his mind set on the fridge.

When he got to the kitchen/living room, he screeched to a halt. Robin was sitting at a table, furiously scribbling on a sheet of paper. Now, this wasn't that normal for Robin. At Mount Justice, if he had free time, he would be fiddling around with computers and such, or developing a better design for his batarangs, or robinrangs, or whatever the heck they were called, or training in one of the many training rooms Mount Justice was equipped with. It was so...un-Robinish to just sit down and write.

"Hey, Rob! What'cha doin'?" Kid Flash inquired curiously in a sort of brazen way, his hunger momentarily forgotten.

"What does it look like? I'm writing a list," Robin said, a bit grumpily.

"I know that," Kid Flash replied, rolling his eyes. "I'm not stupid, ya know."

"Well, you do spot-on impression of it."

"Hey!" Kid Flash pouted for a moment, crossing his arms, before his attention span was focused on Robin's list again. "So...what are you making a list of?"

"Neglected positives," Robin answered vaguely, not really paying attention to him.

"Uhmmm...what?" Kid Flash asked.

"Neg...lect...ed...pos...it..ives.." Robin spelled out slowly like he was talking to a three year old, smirking all the time.

"Just tell me what they are, Bird Boy," Kid Flash snapped, more in a playful manner then an angry one.

"You take a word like disaster, remove the negative prefix, and get aster. So, therefore, aster is a neglected positive," the masked boy explained impatiently.

"Oh," Kid Flash said. "I get it. So which ones have you come up with?"

"Here, find out for yourself," Robin responded, handing him the neatly printed list. Kid Flash quickly scanned it.

"You can't do this, you know," Kid Flash said.

"This is a free country. I can make a list if I want to," Robin replied indignantly.

"No, I mean, you can't just go messing up the English language," Kid Flash shook his head.

"Why not? Is there some rule that you can't do this?"

"Well...it's kind of an unwritten rule."

"Well, if it's not an actually rule or law, I'm allowed to do this as much as I want."

"...smart ass..."

Review please! :D
