Title: The Amazing Spider-Boy
Characters: Wally West, Peter Parker
Necessary Warnings: none
So a slight YJ AU with Peter Parker part of YJ. Why? Because he's effing adorable that why! Anyhoo I know it's a little short and random but school's a bitch so you'll just have to wait.
Wally's not really sure what to think, it's true that when he met Artemis for the first time he's instantly hated her. But that wasn't completely his fault, see Wally's kind of an idiot and Artemis isn't a very likeable person, so yeah there was some friction.
But this new guy, he didn't seem all that bad, maybe a little nervous but he seemed easy enough to get along with. And yeah maybe it was a little irritating that the kid never made eye contact, but the sheer hilarity of how fast his eyes were darting past the present members of the League (Batman, Green Arrow Black Canary and The Flash) was all obsessed fanboy, which kind of made up for it.
"So what's you name?" Wally asks, and the kid sort of looks surprised that Wally was even talking to him, which was kind of stupid considering the reason the League was even at Mount Justice right now was because of him.
Batman had mentioned to Robin who had mentioned to Wally (in cryptic looking for loopholes to tell my best friend about Bat!secrets kind of way) that this kid, a meta-human with amazing powers was going to be joining them. And Wally had at first been kind of annoyed, because he instantly had an image of another girl just like Artemis walking around like they owned the damn place.
(Except maybe in Wally's version the girl had bigger boobs and a tighter uniform...yeah.)
Only this guy was some nervous kid around Wally's age, according to Robin anyway, but Wally couldn't be sure because this guy was kind of small.
"Um Spider-Boy," he says after a long moment, voice all soft and stuttery.
"No," Wally laughs softly, but not unkindly, and shook his head "I meant your other name."
He looks around for a second before answering, and wow, this guy was nervous. "Peter Parker."
"Oh well, Peter Parker, welcome to the team." He grins wide at Peter hoping to dispel some of the poor guy's nervousness, seriously Wally thought Peter was two seconds away from making a run for it. Not that Wally could blame him I mean honestly suddenly being offered a spot on Young Justice by the Justice League (and Batman no one was more terrifying then the Batman, except for Barry when Wally 'forgets' to do his homework) what could be more stressful then that. "I'm Wally by the way, Wally West." he offers Peter his hand to shake.
"Thanks," Peter says looking all wide-eyed and overwhelmed (that's right Robin overwhelmed okay? The reason nobody's ever whelmed is because it's not a real word) taking Wally's proffered hand.
"C'mon, I'll introduce you to everyone." Wally says tugging slightly on the kid's hand. Peter nods jerkily and let's himself b pulled over to where the rest of Young Justice was watching and waiting to see how this all played out.
Peter eyes all his new team-mates warily and takes in a calming breath. He briefly wonders why he didn't just say no and leave at that because this all seemed like it was going to be way more trouble then it was worth. But then it's not like he could just say 'no' to Batman just thinking about it nearly paralyzed him with fear (which did get him some weird looks).
Only Peter thinks it might have to do with the voice of his Uncle who, no matter how long it's been since the accident, Peter manages to hear saying 'With great power comes great responsibility' so Peter squares his shoulders and nods resolutely ready for everything this whole 'Young Justice' thing had for him and more.
...Maybe.
