Wally learns something from his good friend. He learns something interesting. Let us see as it unfolds.
"Wally? Man are you with us?" asked James sitting at the lunch table. Wally groaned. He would admit if anyone asked him that he was in fact friends with Trickster and Piped Piper. Batman may not like it. Or Flash. But someone had to keep them calm. And they were nice enough if not messed up teens.
"Yeah. Just not feeling very asterous," he said using Dick's word. He was tired from fighting Cold early that morning and then coming to school and playing dodge ball, dealing with jocks, jerks and sluts.
"Asterous? What kind of word is that?" asked Harley sitting down.
"Like disaster without the dis. Disaster being bad. Aster being good," he said. A snort came from the table behind him, "What?"
Behind him was a group of people he hung out with in class. Shannon from physics, William (who people would sometimes call Willy because of his hyper and spastic nature) in his algebra two class, and Jonathon (who they had dubbed Jesus because of his hair and shape of his face).
"What's so funny?" Wally asked. Shannon, who had snorted at him in the first place had a huge smirk on her face. She handed him a dictionary.
"Look up aster. I assure you you're using it wrong," she said starting to talk to the others at her table. Wally opened the dictionary and looked for aster.

Wally reread it over and over again.
"Rob, prepare to meet your maker."
I actually stole a friends dictionary at lunch and looker up aster. If you don't believe me look it up yourself. Robin is wrong.
