"Wally!" A girl with long golden blonde hair that reached down to her butt, and light blue eyes shouted, waving her hand. Her body was in a perfect hour glass shape, and her chest bounced with every step she took. She wore the Gotham High school uniform with the professional jacket and short skirt.
Wally turned around, smiling as he saw the girl running towards him. She jumped and tackled him, making him take a step back as he catches her and she wraps her arms around his neck. "Woah! What are you doing here Crystal?"
"I got transferred!" She said excitedly, pulling back and looking at Wally with her hands behind her back. "The teachers sent me here saying that I would have to keep you out of trouble." She stuck her tongue out at him. "By the way, why did you get transferred here?"
Wally let out an airy laugh as he rubbed his neck, knowing he couldn't tell her. "Well, that is…my parents thought I'd learn better here!"
Crystal puffed up her cheeks looking at Wally with a pout. "Come on Wally. We've known each other since we were five. I can tell when you're lying to me and hiding something."
"Well, you see…" Wally said, looking around anywhere to find another answer.
"Yo!"
Wally and Crystal looked behind Wally as a group of five people walked down the hallway towards them. The one in the front was the shortest, but had a big smile on his face as he waved towards Wally.
"Hey! I was wondering when I would see you guys!" Wally said, high-fiving the one who called out to them.
"Who is this pretty girl?" The short one asked with a smile.
"Who are you?" She retorted back, tilting her head in confusion.
"They're my friends!" Wally said, smiling at her. "There's Artemis, Megan, Conner, Kaldur, and Dick."
Her eyes widened as she covered her mouth. "I'm so sorry! I thought you were some people using Wally! I didn't know you guys were the friends he tells me about! My name's Crystal!"
"Nice to meet you." Kaldur said with a nod.
"Are you a friend of Wally's?" Megan asked with a warm smile.
Crystal nodded her head with a smile, linking her arm with Wally's. "We've known each other since we were five."
"I pity you." Artemis said shaking her head.
"Hey!" Wally said, glaring at her jokingly.
"He is a handful. It's like watching over an eight year old." Crystal told them with a laugh.
"What class do you have next hour?" Dick asked with a smile, sidling up next to her. "Hey you have class with us!"
"Really? Cool." She said giving him a smile back.
"Class, this is Crystal Marshall. She is a new transfer to our school, so please make her feel welcome." The teacher said, introducing her to the class. "You can take a seat next to….Ah! Wally!"
Crystal smiled taking the desk to the left of Wally that sat next to the windows, giving her a view of the outside. Wally and his friends sat all around her, giving her smiles and returning back to their work as class resumed. Crystal zoned out and looked outside through the window, watching as the wind blew gently.
A throat being cleared, snapped her out of it. "Crystal, would you please join us for class and check over Mr. Richard's (Readers, know this is Dick please), work." The teacher smiled at her, trying to embarrass her in front of the class. "But if his work is too complicated for you to keep up with, then…"
"The answer is 2 not 4." Crystal pointed out to them.
"No I'm sure the answer is 4." The teacher said, smiling at her as if she was an idiot.
"Then check your answer book." She said, standing up from her desk.
Crystal walked to the front of the class where the whiteboard was, covered in the complicated mathematical problem that Dick had just solved and was looking over carefully again. She took up the other marker as the teacher sighed and got out his answer book that was the teacher edition. An audible gasp and choking sound came from him as he found the answer looking back up at her. She smiled as she ran her finger along the part that was the mess up and corrected it all the way down, finally ending up with the answer 2, and not 4.
"How did you?" The teacher asked fixing his glasses as he stared at the problem.
"It was simple to find." Crystal said shrugging her shoulders. "It was a very well worked out problem though." She said turning to Dick and nodding her head.
She put the cap back on the marker and set it on the rail, walking back to her seat calmly, her school uniform skirt swaying from side to side as she did so. She sat in her seat again and went back to staring outside, letting her thoughts wonder all over the place. The rest of the class went on with the teacher never calling on her again, and him fumbling to put his pride back as a teacher.
"That was brilliant. How did you see that mistake?" Dick asked walking up to her as the bell rang and she stood up. "I mean, I looked over it many times and didn't find a mistake."
"A lot of people won't see their own mistake till it's pointed out, because we believe we did it right." She told him with a smile. "A lot of times I'll have Wally point out something so simple that I believed I was doing right."
"Wally? He pointed out something from you?" Conner laughed.
"Ah, so the big guy DOES talk." Crystal teased, looking at him with a smile. "You know Wally is a genius in science. I need his help in that department."
Wally draped his arm over her, smiling proudly at her as he looked at them as if he was the big man. "You see, she needs MY help!" He looked back down at Crystal as she took her phone. "Hey, you coming over to my house today?"
Crystal gave him an apologetic smile as she closed her phone. "Sorry Wally, I can't. I have plans."
"With who? A guy you like?" Wally asked teasingly, getting close to her face, trying to pry the information from her.
"Maybe," Crystal said sticking her tongue out and getting out from under his arm. "I'll see you guys tomorrow!"
"Bye-bye!" Megan said with a smile. "She's nice."
Wally stood there frozen where she was with his arm still in the position of draped around her. He snapped out of it and looked at her running away. "Wait! Are you serious? Who is it? Crystal!" She was gone by the time he finished yelling.
"Too bad," Artemis teased, punching him in the arm. "Lost another one."
"Ah man!" Wally shouted, surprising them and making the group jump. "How could she like someone? I didn't even know!"
"Wally," Megan asked looking at him with a raised eyebrow. "Do you like Crystal?"
Wally tensed up, rubbing his neck and letting out a curt laugh. "Ah man." He looked at Megan and gave her a small smile. "I guess the secrets out huh? Yeah, I like her. Have since I was little. She doesn't see me that way though."
Phones went off in the group as everyone grabbed their phones out.
"A new mission." Artemis said with a smirk. "Perfect."
"Let's go." Kaldur told all of them.
They hastily went to the headquarters and changed into their outfits, got the coordinates and location of the mission, and set out. All of them were excited for the change of scenery and finally something to do in their lives.
"This is where we're supposed to be?" Conner asked looking around.
"This is where the coordinates are." Dick told them, looking over his arm tablet again. "A new person called The Count is said to be found around here."
"Seriously? A name like that?" Wally laughed. "That's so cliché!"
"You really shouldn't make fun of another person's name."
The group looked up quickly, seeing a man with silver hair and red eyes staring down at them with his arms crossed. He wore Victorian clothing, and a large cape that hung over his shoulders.
"It's more cliché the more I look at it." Wally said, poking at the villain.
The Count glared at them harshly. He lifted he hand and pushed it out, making an energy blasts erupt towards them and send them back. Artemis jumped out of the way and readied her bow and arrow, letting it go and sail towards The Count. He glanced at her and smirked, the arrow hitting a barrier around him and flinging off to the side.
"That will not stop me." He told her proudly.
He snapped his fingers, the arrow on the ground lifting and aiming back at Artemis threateningly. He snapped his fingers again and the arrow sail towards her, making her dodged barely from the threatening arrow. The arrow turned and followed her as she kept on dodging from the dangerous weapon she shot. The arrow was sliced in half as Robin caught his batarang. He brought three more out and threw them at The Count as he ran around the villain.
The Count began to laugh as each one of them hit the barrier, but he stopped as they stuck to it instead of flinging away. The three batarang's exploded, sending The Count shouting and jumping away from it all. Conner shouted as he ran towards the villain, hitting him on the jaw and spinning him to the ground from the impact. Megan concentrated hard as Kaldur brought his whips out and Wally spun around The Count confusing him on the position he needed to aim for. Megan concentrated trying to get into the villains head, as Kaldur grabbed him with his weapons.
"ENOUGH!" He shouted, energy exploded out from him and sending everyone away, and into the tree's and boulders.
The Count stood there with his red eyes flashing as he picked up his hand and snapped his fingers. A force tightened around all their throats as their breathing was cut off and their lungs deprived of air. Megan tried to tap into his mind again, but her body's need for oxygen was winning over her as black spots were filling her vision.
Wally had sucked in a breathe before the attack and was desperately holding onto it as he lashed out in any way at the invisible force holding him. His energy was depleting fast without him eating anything, and his body began to slow down along with his energy.
"You stupid children cannot defeat me!" The Count shouted victoriously. "I am The Count!"
A dagger flew down by his hand, cutting the side of his hand deeply. He recoiled and held his hand close to him, dropping the strangling hold he had on all of them.
"What the?" He asked looking up into the skies.
A guy dropped down from the sky in Nike shoes, baggy denim pants, an light blue tank-top peaking out beneath a dark blue jacket, and a baseball cap on top of his shaggy hair, with a dark blue mask hiding his eyes and face.
"Who are you?" The Count demanded looking at the new hero.
"Guardian Angel," The guy said, his voice sounding deep. "That's what people call me."
"Are you their ally?" The Count asked.
The guy shrugged, flashing the villain a smirk. He launched forward, grabbing the dagger off the ground and swiping at him, watching as The Count dodged it, but it didn't stop the hero as he lashed his leg out and kicked The Count in the kick, sending him into the air and away from him.
"You bastard." The Count said spitting blood to the ground and rubbing his jaw. "You'll pay for this."
The Count lifted his hand sending a wave of energy again, ready to crash into Guardian Angel. Guardian Angel smirked and jumped into the air, sailing through the air with his back to the ground as he stretched his length out. The wave went right under him as he flipped backwards, landing on the ground in a crouch and skidded on his heel, before standing up and facing The Count closely. Angel smirked again as he pushed his hand out and slammed it on The Count's chest, sending a wave of energy himself at The Count, and flinging him backwards into a rock wall.
The Count slid down the wall to the floor unconscious as Angel stood up fully and looked at the villain. He turned towards the other and saluted them with two fingers before running off, and leaving them there in shock at the random help from another unknown superhero.
"Did that really just happen?" Kaldur asked, looking at his comrades as he stood.
He watched them stand and look at each other for confirmation to the answer and looked back at The Count who continued to lay motionless against the rock wall unconscious.
"Who was that guy?" Wally asked angrily. "Who is he to barge in on our fight?"
"He was pretty hot," Artemis said with a smile, looking at where he ran off to.
"He was," Megan said smirking. "Strong too."
Conner dropped his jaw as he glared at where Angel had stood before. He huffed and crossed his arms across his chest as he pouted.
"He wasn't all that great." He mumbled to himself.
"Oh, don't be jealous Conner," Megan laughed, walking over to him and kissing his cheek affectionately.
"I want to know who he was." Robin said typing on his arm computer/tablet.
"Let's take him to the cops first, then we'll figure it out." Kaldur told them, watching as Megan and Artemis thought about the man dreamily, Wally and Conner grumbled, and Robin furiously typed away at his computer.
They took The Count to the police, and watched as they locked him up quickly, and then the group went back to headquarters.
"How did it go?" Black Canary asked as they walked through the portal.
Artemis and Megan giggled with each other, as Wally and Conner grumbled again, and Robin went passed Canary without a look and towards the computer.
"We had a little trouble." Kaldur answered with a sigh. "But some unknown person came and took down The Count, with little effort at that."
"Oh?" Canary asked placing her hand on her chin. "So this person was on your side?"
Kaldur nodded his head. "That I can tell. But this guy, he didn't tell us his identity, just took down The Count and ran off."
"Keep an eye out for him okay?" Canary asked. "I'll inform the League about this."
Kaldur nodded his head as he sighed looking at his friends scramble around the room. The next day no one had forgotten about the mystery superhero, Guardian Angel.
"I hope we meet him again!" Artemis said mesmerized.
"I don't. And what's with you? Acting like a girl!" Wally grumbled, shoving past them.
Artemis glared at him, crossing her arms. "Because I am a girl. He was hot."
Wally narrowed his eyes at them, still irritated about having to be saved by some unknown person that took down Count as if he was nothing. Something slammed into his back, making him lean forward. He leaned up quickly and felt the arms wrap around him tightly.
"Why are you acting so grumpy?" Crystal asked, smiling at him as he looked behind him at her.
"He's mad because there's a guy who is….oh my god hot….and we like how he looks." Megan fawned, telling Crystal.
"Really? What did he look like?" Crystal asked, dropping off of Wally, and walking over to them.
"He had shaggy blonde hair, these sky blue eyes that sparkled, a deep voice, and perfect skin." Artemis began.
"He was a little short, but was lean and strong." Megan said with a smile. "He had a wonderful smile, and looked so cool as he stood in front of us!"
"Where did you see him?" Crystal asked intrigued.
"While we were on a mission!" Megan said, before slapping a hand over her mouth.
Crystal blinked at them and stared as the guys cringed from the slip up, and looked at Crystal worriedly. "You know, I never would have thought to bring other guys on a mission to search for hotter ones."
An audible sigh came from all of them as Crystal looked at them confused. She smiled at them, making them laugh. The bell rang, sending them all to their classes separately.
"Meet us at lunch!" Artemis said, tapping Crystal on her shoulder.
She nodded, looking at Artemis happily. "Okay! See you then!"
Classes went by quickly as the group talked with each other through a telepathic link that Megan connected them all with. Talking about the new person and what they were going to do if he came again. When the bell rang for lunch they cut the link, meeting outside.
"Hey!" Crystal waved excitedly. "Still thinking about the hottie?"
"Ugh! Not you too!" Wally groaned. He took a chunk out of his large 3-foot long hoagie.
"Chill out," Crystal said, folding her skirt under her and sitting next to him. "I'm not all that interested in him."
She opened a container she brought out and everyone stared at her intricate cooking in there. Sandwich triangles, omelet squares, apples, oranges, grapes, cheese wedges, potato chips, cheeze its, carrots, cucumbers, olives, and some sweet fudge for desert. She brought out a can of soda and a large bottle of some kind of juice.
"Why do you pack so much?" Artemis asked. "You can't possibly eat it all with how small you are!"
Crystal laughed as she poured the sprite into the juice bottle and shook it up, mixing the two together. "No, I do so because…"
No one needed an answer as Wally reached down and started snacking at her lunch without asking. Crystal burst out laughing at the faces the others gave Wally.
"That's why." Crystal said, calming her laughing down. "Wally has always eaten a lot. So I always pack healthy food so he doesn't pig out on just junk food."
The others shook their heads and laughed as they continued to eat their lunches. Crystal leaned against Wally's shoulder as she snacked on her lunch, popping a pocky into her mouth and sucking on it.
"Where'd you get that?" Wally asked eyeing the sweet small desert.
Crystal moved her eyes to look up at him, lifting one up to him, and he clamped his mouth down on it. She finished her Pocky and yawned, rubbing her eyes from the sleep as the sun beat down warmly on her. Her eyes started to close as her weight leaned against Wally.
"Oi!" Wally said nudging her. "You shouldn't fall asleep."
"Wally!" Megan hissed looking at him. "She was almost asleep. And it looked cute."
Crystal rubbed her eyes, sitting up from his shoulder and looking at Megan. "What did?"
Wally sighed as he lifted his hand and laid it on the other side of her head, pulling it down to his lap. "Take a short nap."
"How much longer do we have?" Crystal asked, but her eyes were already drooping as she curled her legs up towards her.
"Enough time, just sleep." Wally told her. He hand aimlessly ran his fingers through her hair, sending her off into a daze and her mind into a light sleep. He leaned back and let the sun hit him. He peaked his eyes open and saw the others smiling at him knowingly. "What?"
"Oh, nothing." Dick said with a smirk. "you just seem awful cozy with her."
Wally smirk letting out a small laugh. "Sure, though she's been doing this since she was little."
"Oh," Megan said pouting.
"Have you tried just telling her?" Conner asked, leaning back with his arms behind his head.
"Easier said than done." Wally grumbled. "With our friendship, that could be make or break."
"That's true," Artemis said thinking. "This is hard to figure out."
"Just let it be," Wally told them with a yawn. "I'm not changing anything between us. So just give it up like I did."
"That's no fun." Megan said as she pouted. She wanted to help them somehow, but also didn't want to ruin anything between her and Wally.
The group relaxed, waiting for lunch to end, and forgetting the troubles they had before. When the bell ran they all groaned, making their muscles wake up from the rest.
"Hey, time to wake up." Wally said softly, nudging Crystal in the shoulder.
She grumbled, and squeezed her eyes, but didn't wake up. He leaned over her and looked into her face. He traced his thumb over her cheek, making her turn over, lying on her back and turning her face towards him. She opened her eyes as his thumb continued to rub over her cheek.
She rubbed her eye, looking at him softly. "Did the bell ring?" She asked him quietly.
"Yeah, time for class again." Wally told her with a smile.
The others had already gotten up, leaving the two of them alone with a smirk. Crystal groaned as she sat up and looked around, her mind still waking up from the comfortable sleep she was in. Wally stood up and held his hand out to her.
"Come on, only one more class to go." He told her positively.
She took his hand and held onto it as he tugged her along towards their class together. She pulled her arm along his, pushing her shoulder to his as her other hand came up and hung onto her bag close. They walked into class just as the late bell rang, sending everyone to their seats. They quickly sat down as the teacher came in and looked at them pointedly.
Crystal smiled back at the teacher, wiggling her fingers at him. He quickly looked away, knowing she was teasing him for what she did the day before.
What are we going to do about Angel? Megan asked
If he comes on one of our missions again, we need to grab him before he leaves. Kaldur said.
Why not just knock him out and take him with us? Conner grumbled.
Because if we do that, he may no longer help us. Dick replied.
If he's that strong, we need him on our side. Artemis told him.
I like Conner's idea better. Wally said with a mental sigh.
Hey Wally, Dick thought towards him. Does Crystal know about your powers? Or who you are?
No, Wally told them sternly, telling them that that was the end of the matter.
The conversation stopped as they listened to the teacher. The class ended and everyone quickly exited out of the room.
"So you coming over today?" Wally asked Crystal hopefully.
Crystal shook her head again. Giving him a small smile in apology. "I'm sorry," She placed her hands in front of her as if praying for forgiveness. "I had last minute plans made."
"With a guy?" Wally grumbled, huffing and turning his head.
Crystal smiled at him. "Yeah," She let out a small laugh making him glance at her. "You don't have to worry, no one can take your place Wally." She placed her hand on his arm and kissed him on the cheek. "You're the only guy I want to be with." She told him, and began walking away.
"Why?" He asked, thinking she was joking.
She stopped and turned to look at him. She flashed him a sweet smile. "Because I like you Wally!"
She took off running down the hallway as Megan squeaked and smiled at Wally, cheering as she jumped on the ground.
"Did you hear that?" Megan said happily. "She said she liked you!"
Wally sighed, waving her cheeriness away. "She says that all the time. She doesn't mean it like you think."
Megan pouted as Artemis patted the martian on the shoulder. "How do you know?" Artemis asked.
"I just do." Wally waved it off again as he began to walk off.
Things continued the same at school with Wally and Crystal, but the missions never came again. A week later a mission came in the evening for a villain named Miss. Neko. A new villain who moved like a cat. She dodged around them and out of their reach as if she were water.
"I got her!"Artemis said, cocking an arrow back.
She let it go and the arrow whizzed by, hitting Miss. Neko in the shoulder and sending her to the ground. She hissed and pulled the arrow out. She crouch and leapt at Artemis, flashing her nails and scratching the girl on her shoulder, her nails piercing her like arrows themselves. Her nails sliced through the batarangs Robin threw at her.
"Why you!" Wally growled.
He whizzed around the women, hitting her with quick hits that disarmed her, until she swiped her leg beneath him and trip him, sending him through the air and into the ground. Connor jumped at her, pulling his fist back.
"Don't!" Megan said. "She's a girl!"
Conner looked at her before being kicked in the jaw, sending him spinning. Megan flew towards the girl, watching as she smirked and jumped, grabbing onto Megan playfully.
"Don't you look like a fun toy?" She purred at Megan.
She dug her nails into Megan's arms, and then sent her flying into Kaldur as he caught her desperately.
She laughed out playfully, looking at the group as if she was playing with her next meal. "You guys are fun to play with!"
A kick landed in the back of her head, sending her into the ground face first. Angel landed behind her, hands on his hips and his normal smirk on his face. Miss. Neko got up with a hiss and a growl as she looked at him angrily and irritated.
"You! I've heard of you!" She hissed, pointing her finger at him. "You're Guardian Angel!"
"Oh? So you've heard of me." He said, stepping close to her. He grabbed her chin and lifted her mouth towards his, pulling her close until she was millimeters from him.
She melted in his hand, looking into his eyes dreamily. She smirked and purred at him, hooking her thumbs on his waist. She blinked, looking at him closely as her hands gripped his shirt.
He suddenly frowned, narrowing his eyes at her. "Sorry, I'm not into people like you." He said grumpily.
A shock went through her as energy flew into her and erupted, making her scream and fall to the floor with a dazed look. He smirked down at her, dusting off his hands. He looked at the group and saluted them again.
"Wait!" Artemis said, grabbing his shirt. "Who are you? Are you on our side?"
He looked at her carefully, before giving her a warm smile. "Of course."
"Will you come with us?" Megan begged him.
"You could join our group." Kaldur told him.
"Sorry, I already work for someone." He told them. He bowed his head to Artemis before slipping out of her hold and racing off.
They took Miss Neko to the police and quickly stormed off to the headquarters, more confused about the new person more than the other.
"I've heard you're having a problem with a new hero." Batman said, coming out of the shadows.
"Yeah, he's left us more confused than ever." Robin said rubbing his forehead.
"He calls himself Guardian Angel," Conner told Batman.
"Leave him alone." Batman said, turning on his heel. "Don't try to figure him out."
"Do you know about him?" Robin asked curiously.
"Yes, and it's better if you don't know about him." Batman said cryptically.
He turned on his heel before they could ask anymore, leaving them wondering even more about the whole thing.
"That was odd." Artemis said, looking at everyone.
"I'm not leaving it be." Robin said stubbornly. "I'm going to find out who he is."
