Hey, back again! I really like this bromance between Wally and Robin. They are kind of amazing bros, yes?
This will be infrequently updated and only when I come around with a good bit for another chapter. Usually, each chapter will be a stand alone. Perhaps a plot, but eh. It's T to be safe, because I don't know what I am planning on adding. Each chapter will have it's own rating.
EDIT: Mm, I've taken the time to re-read and correct things. Hopefully the first 6 chapters will be okay now! I've also taken the time to write when each story is written.
Timeline: After Alpha Male, alternate tangent
And of course, the standard disclaimer.

Chapter 1: Secret Language of Best Friend Superheroes
Robin and Kid Flash seem to just understand each other. They have a different wavelength they are on, regardless of the setting. Sometimes this is an inconvenience, other times it is very useful. Most of the time, however, it is just amusing.
Such times like this.
"Halo is classic!" Wally spits out, almost ferociously.
"Are you kidding me, KF?" Robin takes an offensive stance. His voice takes on such disbelief that is almost sounds... fake?
They go at each other leaving Black Canary completely forgotten. So much for the two-on-one exercises that Dinah had planed. Robin kicks out, trying to trip the ever-moving Kid Flash. "It's some stupid, over-hyped, generic shooter game." The Boy Wonder hisses.
KF basically jumps Robin at this point. "Halo is where all of this started! Don't even kid!" It's comical to watch. Robin may be the youngest of the group, but both he and Wally act like they're eight sometimes. It's almost enough to lower the IQ of the entire base... almost.
"Poor. Graphics. Average. Plot." Robin grunts out, trying to pin down KF when they end up rolling off the training grid and onto the floor.
After a few more moments of this tussling, Black Canary calls a draw. She realizes neither of them are really trying. They're just having fun. Robin and KF help each other up and clap each other on the back. "Yo, so I just got MW3." Wally tells Robin as they take their place in line so the next pair can go up for their exercise. Black Canary glares at Wally, but he misses it. Fortunately, Robin doesn't. "Why don't we do that after dinner, yeah?"
KF laughs out, "Fine." And they watch M'gann and Artemis go up for their round. KF folds his arms to watch, but not before whisper out the side of his mouth to Robin. "Master Chief is so BAMF though."
They go into chuckling. They enjoy these moments. It's like they are speaking a different language when the others hear them. Superboy is the most confused at this moment. It seemed like that were openly hostile with each other, but now they are not. They joke about things he doesn't get and sometimes, it's a little bit frustrating. They seem to talk in some code (a code they didn't teach him at Cadmus). Aqualad laughs under his breath as he watches the two members crack another joke. Superboy raises his eyebrow.
"They are very close friends. In a sense, they do not even require the telepathic link to know how to work with each other," Aqualad tries to explain to his fellow hero. He's greeted with a raised eyebrow. Aqualad tries again. "They have reached a point in a relationship where they do not require to talk openly to know what the other is thinking. They have managed to memorize and learn each other so to us, they may seem very... odd, but to them, they are, I suppose, best friends." Superboy tries to connect it to his relationship with Wolf. It makes more sense that way. Kind of.
After a few hours, training is over and everyone is let off for the rest of the day. It's been an easy week. For Kid Flash, he's starving, like a giraffe that's living in the-the desert… Wally frowns. That analogy sounded a little bit better in his head the first time around.
"Hey, Robin. I'm hungry…" Kid Flash whines when he walks into the kitchen.
"Then make something." Robin retorts as he's looking in the fridge. Wally could be so ridiculous sometimes.
"Make me something, Robin… I'm hungry…" Wally tries again. Robin rolls his eyes. Wally is ridiculous all the time.
Robin gives him a look. Wally shrugs. "What?" It's rhetorical. He knows exactly why. He's just being more annoying than usual. They both end up cracking a smile anyways. They know what to do. Robin picks a few things out from the fridge and tosses it to KF, which catches them lightly, even the jar of tomato sauce.
Robin sets the water to boil and KF is already digging through the cabinets for any spare noodles. "Here's a mix." He tosses four boxes of random noodles that he finds. Robin laughs at the variety. This is going to be some interesting spaghetti. The water's boiling now and he puts the things that will take longest to cook first.
The moment he switches over to make the sauce, Wally is over looking at the noodles. M'gann is watching them work, sitting at the counter island. She watches in amazement. They don't even have to speak and they just seem to flow with it. She doesn't seem them often in the kitchen either, so it's not like this is something they do frequently. Robin has the sauce cooking and turns around to get something but Wally has already chopped up the herbs that Robin needs.
With this much efficiency, dinner gets accomplished pretty quickly. The only time Robin speaks is when he tells Wally when to put in the rest of the smaller pasta shells to cook. The only time Wally says something is to tell Robin not to forget the salt for the sauce.
While Wally is not quite the best cook, Robin has an aptitude. After all, he did spend a lot of time watching Alfred cook. The smell draws everyone back into the kitchen and the noodles are drained and put back into an even bigger bowl. Robin pours in the sauce and dinner is done.
They look up to be greeted by the rest of the team. M'gann pipes up first, "That looks delicious!" She smiles.
Wally says, "You look even better, babe." He smiles at her but then Robin shoots him a look. Wally's smile falters and then disappears as he looks at his team. He realizes what that look meant. It wasn't just a compliment about his cooking skills. They were planning on eating too... "Guys! Robin and I only made enough for us!" And the team believes it, knowing the speedster's crazy appetite and metabolism. Unfortunately, they don't care. Robin laughs and joins everyone at the table for dinner.
Wally digs in first, making sure he gets a good share (aka most of the bowl). Artemis has to slap his hands a few times to make sure there's enough for everyone. Aqualad compliments them about the dinner and M'gann asks for the recipe.
Robin looks at Wally and they both shrug.
"We kinda winged it." Wally says, shoving more spaghetti in his mouth.
"I'm surprised it came out this good, really." Robin says. The two friends high-five for their successful dinner. M'gann raises her eyebrows. It's kind of ridiculous to believe this was spontaneous, but after looking at how they worked in the kitchen... Robin sees this.
"Well, it's not like we're both idiots in the kitchen. Wally a little moreso than me, anyways. So we kinda knew what we were doing." He tries to relay to M'gann. She's just even more confused.
They worked like clockwork. It was very concise, to a point where words weren't spoken. Or maybe they were and she just couldn't hear it. There were alien languages like that. She'd seen foreigners talk in weird nonverbal languages when she lived on Mars. It was a possibility. After all, it was normal in her homeland to talk telepathically.
Did you guys like it? R&R! Tell me more situations you'd like them to be super bro about, haha. xD
