Behind the Mask:

Plot: As a blood sample from Kid Flash is taken, his identity is revealed to the world by a mad scientist who reveals the speedster to be Wallace Rudolph West. How the heck is Wally going to get out of this one?

Jeez, Wally just can't get a break, can he? Baha.

Disclaimer: Yeah, don't own YJ. I only own my suckish fight scenes and any grammar mistakes. I'll shuttup now and let you read.


Wally West groaned as he was flung backwards, tucked in a crouched position and heading straight for a pile of wooden boxes. He was bracing for impact, teeth gritted so hard he was afraid his teeth would grit right through each other. Landing with a really loud 'oomf' he tumbled backwards and could tell he'd badly bruised his tail bone, or, rather, coccyx (just to be fancy). But no matter, it'd heal soon enough. He looked up with a groan –every muscle in his body hurt- and saw Artemis firing exploding arrows at the big bully blue Robot. Aka, Bloo. What kind of name is that? Wally thought, deciding it didn't sound very… evil. He could hear Miss Martians voice in his head;
'Definitely organic,' She gave a mental sigh.

'And definitely fallible. Artemis, keep firing those arrows-' Kaldur was cut off by Artemis, 'Which I don't have many of.' She grumbled.

'You'll have to salvage them, then. Robin, try and see if you can calculate his weak spots, or any chinks in his armour. Wally, you need to keep his attention away from Miss Martian and Superboy, who will try to destroy the weak spots,' Kaldur finished ordering and they went into action. Robin hacked away on his digital computer thing and Artemis was firing the explosive arrows. Wally got up with a groan and a small wince escaped his lips when he ran, but he wouldn't let a small bruising stop him.

"Hey big guy! I've seen bluer guys than you!" Wally mocked, slamming into his leg. Bloo was definitely a big guy, his legs the height of Wally. But apparently they weren't too strong as he stumbled. He gave a growl.

"Aw come on! Don't tell me you're already going to fall over! This is the fun part!" Wally continued, landing another slam into the robots leg.

So he tried the same tactic again.

Which probably wasn't nearly as successful. Just as Wally was about to slam into him again at high speeds, Bloo used his powers. Blue, sharp, pointy crystals emerged from his leg, the very leg Wally tried to slam into. Seeing the crystals pointed right at him, Wally tried to stop but knew he wasn't going to. 'Aw crud' He thought as he ran even faster –hoping desperately the idea would work- as he slid on the ground, right between the robots legs.

Was the move overused? Definitely. Was it a bit clique? Sure. Was it a life saver from being skewered blue crystals? Hell, yes.

But as he was sliding, a blue crystal caught on his arm and tore the fabric and Wally could instantly feel the pain. He gave a small cry but managed to get up and stumbled slightly as he ran again. His left arm clutched his upper right arm, and when he took his left hand away, it came away with blood. Instead of focusing on the pain, he focused on the new voice in his head.

'Got the chinks. Miss M and Superboy, they're in between the two plates on the back of his neck. Get him there, and he'll be shut down,' The boy wonder said.

'Got it. Thank you.' Miss M quickly flew off to go into combat alongside Superboy.

Vaguely -as the conversation had gone through his mind-, Wally realised his tail bone was already feeling much better and the bleeding on his arm was, thankfully, stopping. He knew he needed to give another distraction, but Artemis and Kaldur beat him to it. Artemis fired two arrows which, on impact, exploded into water. 'That's new,' Wally thought as Kaldur then used his electric shock things –God, why could Wally never remember the name of them?- to send the robot into a fried frenzy. Wally just shrugged and looked over at Robin, who was looking right back at Wally and apparently looking at his arm. Robin caught Wally's eye and his eyebrow seemed to raise, asking the silent question 'You good?' Wally just smiled and gave a thumbs up.

'He's down. Good job team," Kaldurs voice entered his mind and Wally grinned, not even aware Bloo was lying face down and how he got there.

"Race you all back to the mountain?" Wally offered, but his stomach growled hungrily. He opened his arm cupboard, to find it bare. "Damn, forgot to restock," He muttered to himself. Then, louder, "Ah, nevermind."

His arm was beginning to throb, and he realised his metabolism had probably slowed with the healing process because of the lack of food.

"Batman said the league wants to pick this robot up. I have no idea why, but I plan on asking. So I suggest we leave and go eat," Robin gave a pointed look to Wally, who rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly as his stomach grumbled again which caused a laugh from Artemis.

The team decided to stall for a while, seeing if the league would show up. After a while, Wally's complaining got so annoying that Kaldur allowed everyone to retire from the mission. Wally gave a classic 'Wally' smile and raced to the mountain, his stomach protesting loudly against it. Somehow along the way, the bleeding on his arm started again, but he decided to just bandage it later when he wasn't so hungry.

The team rolled their eyes as Wally raced off and M'gann commanded the bio ship to them. Everyone boarded –but Wally, of course- and they went off to Happy Harbour. Robin frowned as he looked out the window, hoping Bloo would stay down in the blues. He gave a small chuckle to himself at his choice of words.

Laughter filled the warehouse where the team was moments before. A silhouette came out of the shadows, his grey hair sticking everywhere and his glasses cracked. His blue eyes scanned wildly and his bright green jacket didn't camouflage well, and the same for his red pants. He gave another chuckle as he saw Bloo on the ground. He inspected the robot, and his eyes widened when he saw the robots leg. It had blood dripping off one of the crystals and the man gave a small dance as he got a few drops of the blood contained.

"Now little hero. One of you is all mine… I just have no idea which one. Oh dear… What if it's that merman guy? Then my experiment will be useless. Or that green lady. No! I must think positive! This could be a great discovery! One so magnificent, villains will praise me and pay me!"

His evil laughter continued until it became coughing fits. He walked out of the warehouse with an insane smile on his face, and another chuckle on his lips.

By the time the Team got back to the cave, half the kitchen was bare. Wally sat on the couch, watching the TV and looked over his shoulder as the computer announced the team's arrival. M'gann gave a polite smile and floated off to the kitchen, deciding to bake more cookies as the whole other 504 cookies were eaten. Superboy shrugged and sat down next to Wally to watch the '50 most dangerous places'.

"This area is highly exotic, filled with toxic subst-" The TV blared, "Yeah, yeah. Been there. Really not so bad," Wally thought aloud. Robin had apparently already disappeared and Kaldur most likely followed him. Artemis was leaning on the kitchen counter and was casually talking to M'gann.

Robin decided to make his reappearance and his face was set in a hard line, "So apparently, the league never told us they would pick up the robot." He said in a hard tone as eyebrows raised and confusion seeped into the room.

"You mean… They never sent that message? The one we all saw?" Artemis frowned, "Apparently. But remember, it wasn't a video. Just audio and I've hacked into it to see it was made in a small apartment. Just edited very, very skilfully," Robin continued. "Shouldn't we go back and check him out then? Throw the guy in jail?" Wally asked and the others nodded. "No. I've checked surveillance cameras. He's already gone. I don't know who took him or how he could turn himself on, because the cameras went dead a few seconds after the bio ship left. There's nothing." Robin hissed the last sentence and Wally felt bad for him for a few moments, "Hey, what can anyone do with a pile of metal like him? Repaint him at most!" Wally chuckled and Robin smiled ever so slightly, but his jaw hardened as soon as the smile came.

"This is Iris West-Allen and I report to you on the corner of…"

In a darkened basement below a family brick house, computers beeped as keys were pressed. The insane man chuckled as the DNA/Blood sample sat splattered on the testing table. Matches scanned through, already going through an hours worth of samples at least. The doctor yawned and took a snooze…

Only to be woken by a very loud robotic voice claiming,

"Match found."


Likeeeee it? Aha. Reviews will make my day –and, you know, make me update faster too.-

I swear, longest chapter I've ever written. 1500+ words I think. My word needs to be updated -.-

Yep, I'm neglecting my other stories until I swear I finish this one. I have so many ideas for YJ, it's crazy. Silly plot bunnies. Evil! Hahahaha. Soooo… Bloo is completely made up by me, but expect him later. So is the evil guy. He's made up by me too. A bit crazy, yeah? And I also called him doctor. Any ideas? Well, I sure have some!
