"Dick Grayson is here!"

Kid Flash freezes, causing Artemis to walk in to him from behind. She grumbles insults but the speedster doesn't even seem to hear her. He just stares, pointing at a dark haired boy on the far end of the room.

"He is?" Miss Martian eagerly hovers higher in order to see above her friends. Scanning the crowd, she spots the boy in question and squeaks, "He is!"

"Big deal." Artemis rolls her eyes, shoving Kid Flash forward and out of her way. "He's cute. Let's not lose our heads."

Aqualad nods and continues walking next to Artemis. "Yes, there is no reason his presence should affect our mission." He turns, looking pointedly at Kid Flash. "Let us be professional."

Wally whines a bit but follows, taking a parting glance at Dick. "Okay, yeah. But, I mean, we're here to protect everyone, right? And Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson are pretty famous. It would be a good idea to stay nearby. If that anonymous threat is real, and someone goes after people here, they might be the targets."

"Everyone here is a potential target, Kid Idiot." Artemis says. "You're just fishing for an excuse to talk to him."

"Well yeah," Wally retorts, unashamed.

Superboy takes Miss Martian's hand, practically dragging her through the air after the group. He shakes his head. "I still don't get it."

The team make their way across the massive banquet hall to Black Canary. They weave through hundreds of people, all dressed up in formal wear. The teenagers, in their uniforms, stand out against the pressed tuxedos and flowing dresses and sparkly jewelry. Canary smiles as they approach. "Hello, team."

Nodding politely, Aqualad says, "Batman gave us limited information as to our purpose here outside of mere security. He mentioned an anonymous threat. I assumed he would be here as well, and elaborate."

"I know you usually are debriefed by Batman, but he has… other commitments today."

Kid Flash asks, "And Robin is with him, right?"

"Yes, he is. As for the elaboration, I can do that. Another threat was received, and this time the intent was made clear: Bruce Wayne. Someone will make an attempt on his life."

Pumping his fist into the air, Kid Flash exclaims, "Yes!"

Black Canary puts her hands on her hips and stares Wally down fiercely. "Excuse me? Why are you happy about this?"

"Because we get to guard him!"

The older woman still seems perplexed so Artemis supplies, "Kid Dork here has a crush on the Grayson kid."

It takes all of her training and self-control for Dinah to not throw her hand over mouth and gush about how very cute that is. She also wants to laugh at the fact that Wally has a crush on his best friend and doesn't know it. Instead, she manages to keep her face calm and say, "So I take it you want to be assigned to guarding them?"

Practically vibrating in place, Kid Flash replies, "Yes, please." He turns to Aqualad, green eyes full of hope.

The team's leader sighs but agrees. "Okay. If you can be professional. And I think-" Before he finishes his sentence, Kid Flash zips away. Aqualad continues, "I think perhaps another guard will be required. I do not trust Kid Flash to keep his attention on Mr. Wayne, who is, after all, the true target."

Miss Martian raises her hand eagerly. "Ooh, I can go! I'll watch Mr. Wayne," she promises. Having received a conformational gesture from Aqualad, she flies after Wally.

Artemis shares a knowing glance with Black Canary and then gives a pitying look to Aqualad. "That was a bad idea, Kaldur. Those two are fangirling so hard they won't notice if the roof comes down on top of Bruce Wayne."

The Atlantian slumps dejectedly, "I know."
