Dr8wy: Hello again. I had this sudden REobsession with Young Justice when I actually went and watched season one. And wow, that show is motherfucking good. But I'm kinda skeptical about what happens in the future... Megan and Conner aren't together? Wally and Artemis LIVE together? Whut the fuck.
I'm so throwing the yaoi into this story. Made into a semi-AU, where I get to mess things up however I want. And if you don't like it, you're gonna be fucked over by my favourite finger. Enjoy! *blows kiss*
NOTE
Pairings: Conner/Wally, Bruce/Wally, Richard/Wally. Wally bottoms! :D
Verse: THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE JUSTICE LEAGUE VERSE! Remember the original cartoon back in the good ol' days? The one where Wally's already Flash. Eeyup, I'm gonna connect the two together.
- Wally has GREEN eyes in this. DUH.
- Please go watch a FEW episodes of the original series of the Justice League if you haven't... if not this fic won't make much sense to you.
Warning(S): Yaoi/Boys Love/GAY, Swearing, Molestation (Y.S.M.. My favourite.)
Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice and it belongs to DC... for now.
GRINNING APOCALYPSE (I have actually no fucking idea where this title came from)
Part ONE.
CENTRAL CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT
FORENSICS LAB A-4
09:00PM, 18 FEBUARY
Wally scanned the article of clothing for any trace of luminol... and there it was! He knew it!
Taking a photograph of the glowing bloodstain with his Polaroid Camera (police standard issue), he saved the data he had collected on his computer and placed away the sealed piece of evidence in the safe. It was time to call it a night.
"G'nite Margie!" He called, giving his colleague a smile. She returned it and waved, turning back to her own work.
Moving swiftly down the hallway, the redhead decided to get himself a cappuccino from the nearby vending machine. It would've been stupid for any normal person to drink a cappuccino after they got off work, because well, it's when they go home to take a good night's sleep.
Not for Wally West, though. For him, the night has just begun.
Leaping into the deserted printing office (who the hell printed autopsies at this time?), he straightened. "Zap me up, Bats."
And with a shimmering blue light, he was gone.
THE WATCHTOWER
CONTROL ROOM
09:10PM, 18 FEBUARY
Well, he'd just had a quick shower and changed into his red jumpsuit, not to mention finished his cappuccino. All in ten minutes, taking his time with the drink and tossing it into a nearby ventilation trash can.
"Evening, Bats!" He greeted the Dark Knight cheerfully as he sauntered into the control room.
"I thought I told you never to call me that." Was Batman's cheerful reply. Wally merely began to hum a tune, taking his seat on Batman's right, eyes scanning the monitors that displayed places all over the world.
A slight pause, and Batman continued his typing. What the hell he was typing, Wally had no idea.
But he had another...
"Hey, Bruce?" The redhead asked, leaning closer. Flinching at the use of his human name, the latter turned and scowled at Flash. "Do the words secret identity mean anything to you?" He growled out, narrowing his eyes (cowl).
Smirking, Flash placed a quick peck on the Dark Knight's down-turned lips. Then he bolted out of the room like a Flash. "See ya later!"
...
A small smile appeared on his face, and Bruce returned to his typing. He'd let Wally get away.
For now.
MOUNT JUSTICE
SUPERBOY'S ROOM
09:30PM, 18 FEBUARY
Conner started to pace around the kitchen, ignoring the sound of his team talking. How could they act so normal? Today was the day.
The day they were all giving official memberships into the Justice League! The day when they'd finally start taking on REAL missions, and he'd get to work alongside Superman.
It was a dream come true.
"Here you go, Conner!" Megan said, hanging him a slightly burnt cookie with a smile. Her baking had improved over the years, compared to the first batch she mad back when it was just them, Kaldur, Robin and Wally-
He shouldn't have thought that name.
Seeing the expression on Conner's face, Megan immediately guessed what the Kryptonian was thinking about. "You miss him, don't you?" She asked.
Beast Boy looked up, confused. "Miss who?"
Megan shushed him, as well as the rest of the team. "Let's go wait by the tube." She suggested, giving a backward glance to her ex-boyfriend. Running a hair through her shortened hair, she sighed.
Hopefully he wouldn't be too much of a bummer on Conner's mood. Today was the day, after all.
Back at the kitchen, Conner crumpled Megan's chocolate cookie in his hand, having lost his appetite. Wally West... Kid Flash. Where did he go?
The new team consisted of new members, except for Megan and himself. Kaldur had gone back to Atlantia, wanting to guard over his King and Queen's young heir. Artemis had chosen to position herself in Vietnam, where more heroes were definitely needed.
And of course, Robin- er... Nightwing now had his own team to run. He was so similar to Batman is was kind of creepy, actually. Oh, and Zatanna had chosen to run a magic-show in Gotham, wanting to help Nightwing watch over the citizens there.
The one person he had no idea about... was Wally West. The original team's lovable, caring and self-sacrificing speedster. Well, he was also extremely arrogant at times... bullheaded, impulsive, mischievous and a very bad listener. Not to mention his crappy jokes.
... But that was what made Kid Flash. Conner missed his friend. Wally had been the first face he'd seen when he had full-control of his mind, and seeing those bright green-eyes took his breath away.
He had never seen eyes like that before.
They looked so bright, so alive.
Feeling that familiar ache in his chest, Superboy started to make his way towards the teleporter.
Where could Wally have gone? He had tried to approach Flash at the Watch Tower one time, but Batman had caught him, and sent him back to Mount Justice, not even bothering to grace Conner with a reason.
The team had been severely upset- not only because of the disappearance of Wally, but also because Robin left a few days after, reappearing after a few years as Nightwing.
It was then that Artemis chose to leave, along with Zatanna. Kaldur then went back to Atlantia, leaving Megan and himself alone.
"C'mon, Conner! We're going!" Megan flew over and grabbed his hand, forcing him into the metal structure. Red Tornado gave them a glance, then pressed a button from the control area. "Good luck." He said.
Superboy nodded.
THE WATCHTOWER
5TH FLOOR, WALKWAY

Shayera eyed Wally as he appeared beside her. "Sup, Shay!" He grinned, hands already holding onto a tub of ice-cream. "Wanna share this?" He offered her a spoon.
Smiling, she bumped him on the arm. "Stop trying to screw up my diet, you idiot!" She said affectionately, falling into pace with her so called 'brother'. The two had gotten close during their time in the League, and had a bond nobody could break.
They even looked alike! The red hair and green eyes did make a statement.
"Have you heard? Some new recruits are coming in today." Hawkgirl said. Flash choked a little. "Um... yeah. Of course I knew! They're... old friends of mine. Well two of them are, anyway."
"Huh. You mean when you were back on that team of side-kicks?"
"We weren't sidekicks! Just... really helpful hero support." The younger of the two said indignantly, crossing his arms with much difficulty and almost dropping his ice-cream on the floor.
The Thanagarian raised an eyebrow and chose not to grace that with a reply.
"Are you going to greet them?" She asked, slightly alarmed when Flash skidded to a halt. "I... I dunno, Shay. I mean, back then... when Uncle Barry... y'know. I didn't really give them a proper explanation. Bats stopped them from talking to me... I was grateful for that. I couldn't handle the questions." He said softly, facing the ground.
She placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "It was hard for you. You weren't even an adult! And you were forced to take on the responsibility of being one of the original seven. Your uncle would be proud of you, I know he would." She stated firmly, looking him in the eye (cowl).
"Thanks, Shay," He said, giving her a lopsided smile. "But what am I supposed to tell them? I'm pretty sure only Di- er... Nightwing knows of my whereabouts. The rest of them probably think I died or something."
"Just tell them the truth, Wally. And no beating around the bush."
He sighed, knowing that was the only way to solve this.
THE WATCHTOWER
GRAND HALL
10:00PM, 18 FEBUARY
"You have all done well. Welcome to the Justice League." Superman finished his speech (a short one, thank Zeus), and stepped aside. "You're due for a tour around the Watch Tower. Wonder Woman will be you guide."
The Princes of Themyscira stepped forward, opening her mouth as if to say something when she was interrupted by a loud screeching of rubber on metal.
"Sorry I'm late!" A loud and cheerful voice sounded, and the Flash stepped up onto the Platform.
"Mind if I join you?" He gave Diana a grin. She rolled her eyes and punched him on the arm. "OW, same spot again?!" He cried out in pain.
Superman sighed. "Flash... just make it quick, alright?" The Kryptonian said, and giving a nod to his clone, he flew off to the opposite side of the hall, disappearing behind a metal door.
"What was that about?" Wonder Girl asked, her eyebrows raised.
Conner eyed Flash. This was his chance! Finally, after years, he could at least ask the Flash about Wally's whereabouts-
"Oh, hey Con'. Want some ice-cream?"
It was then that Conner knew (and so did Megan, he heard her gasp somewhere to his right).
"... Wally?"
