Problem #1: Speedster short-term memory
The team was on a hiatus while most of their members had end of year testing to prepare for. Aqualad swam laps in the Cave's pool, Artemis was unknowingly studying with Robin in Gotham, and M'Gann convinced Conner to help her cook lunch. Of course this left a certain hyperactive speedster on his own, so as soon as he got the chance, he left Central City to see if anything interesting was going on in the Cave. Wally didn't expect to see Superboy in a chef's hat and apron, nor did he expect to see M'Gann giggling while they worked away preparing Superboy's favorite meal; tomato soup. Feeling a bit irritated, he sped to M'Gann's side, "Ooh, what'cha cooking? Smells good. *"
"Oh-hi Wally we were just makin-"
"-CanIhelp? Let'saddabitofthis" Wally ran around dropping random ingredients to the concoction.
"You added tarragon" Superboy clenched his fists. "I HATE TARRAGON! He punched the side of the post and splashed tomato soup onto the tile, his only shirt, and Wally. His features twitched and he ran away growling, hoping to get the smell of the spice off of himself. Miss Martian flew after him to calm him down.
KF lapped a bit off of his hand mumbling, "Well, it's not that bad." After standing around for a while (30 seconds is a long time) he thought, 'Maybe I should pick this up…Nah, I'll let Aqualad do it.' Wally started to dash away, but slipped on the forgotten meal and knocked himself out on the tile.
After a boring tutoring session with that troll, Dick Grayson, Artemis was more than happy to see the Cave was empty. She stepped into the kitchen to see if there was anything good to eat and found KF passed out facedown in a pool of red liquid.
"WALLY!" Artemis cried. His form reacted slightly as she ran to his side.
"Shut up harpy, tying to sleep" KF whispered, rolling in the soup.
The slap that Artemis issued to the back of Wally's head was heard without the use of super-hearing, and from his view from the crack of the hallway closet, Superboy smirked. In the center of the Batcave, watching from hidden cameras, Bruce smiled as his newest pupil learned the joys of vengeance. **
*Wally cannot form coherent sentences around food.
** This is before Superman steps in.
Hello all! This is a new unconnected one-shot series. I'll try to update regularly. Also, if anyone has any prompt suggestions, be sure to post or message me.
