So, in my head cannon, the Flash's rogues are to Wally like what Jason Todd, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the villains I write about are to the team. And I started thinking of ways that the Rogues would demonstrate how nobody can mess with their city, so this just came up. I hope you guys like it!

The Young Justice Team found themselves in Central City for a simple recon mission. There had been word of Light activity in that vicinity's Star Labs- rumors, really, but they had enough truth to them to have Batman worry- and because the Team didn't have anything to do other than hang out together, they had been sent to make sure nothing was corrupt about what was happening in those labs.

Everything had gone rather well until a scientist found one of his files askew. M'gann's capture was unexpected and set off a chain of events none of the teenagers thought possible that night.

Robin was the next to be caught, and that was because his cape snagged on a splinter for a second. But that was second was enough for a foe none of the teenagers were prepared to face. Professor Zoom. The Reverse Flash. The man that wanted to kill both Kid Flash and the Flash.

"If those two are here, it means there are more of the snot nosed brats running amok." Zoom sneered as he looked at the struggling bird, whom he had bound with harnesses specially made for metas. "Lock down the facility, mobilize your men, and find them. I don't know how many they are, but they are dangerous."

From her place in the air ducts, Artemis was able to see the neutralization and capture of both Aqualad and Superboy, who had been sent in after communication with M'gann was cut off, Artemis and Rocket acting as shadows through the ducts.

Zoom smiled in an almost insane manner as he looked at the four teenagers he had tied up in the room. "It seems you were right, partner. Like moths to a flame."

Artemis hadn't been sure who the crazy man's partner was, but she was sure of one thing. She had to get out of Star Labs and back to her friends so they could contact the League and call for backup. They had no idea how to deal with someone like Professor Zoom and had no idea just how many 'friends' he had helping him out.

So, as quickly as she dared while being as quiet as possible, Artemis crawled her way out of the ducts and towards the outside of the building, only for her eyes to widen when she found none other than Black Adam and Sportsmaster smirking at her with Kid Flash and Zatanna already beaten at their feet. She made to run somewhere- anywhere- only for her retreat to be cut off with a blade suddenly against her throat.

"Oh, little sister. When will your little team learn their limits?"

Sometimes, Artemis really hated her older sister's voice.

James and Hartley had been in the middle of yet another argument about what was better, music or drawings, when there was a loud and booming knock on the door of their hideout. As soon as they heard the noise, both teens quieted and stared at each other, unsure as to what they should do.

The rest of the adult Rogues were outside, doing something or another to entertain themselves, and had explicitly told them to not open the door to anyone. Not even the Pizza Man. So both boys stayed still and silent, hoping whoever was at the door would leave them alone.

"James Jesse and Hartley Rathaway, open this damn door at this very moment before I blow it up!"

Neither of them knew who the voice belonged to, but the man behind the door clearly knew them. So, after a quick game of rock, paper, scissors that James lost, the blonde teen walked tentatively towards the entrance to their hide out. When he opened it, he saw a man with a black domino mask, a large black jacket, black pants with large pockets, and what seemed like various weapons strapped to them.

James had no idea who this way.

"Uh..." James blinked up at the older male, "Who are you?"

The man glared down at him and muscled his way into the Rogue's H.Q., looking around as if he were looking for something.

"Where are the adults? Where are the Rogues?" The man asked, making James pout slightly at his question not being answered.

Hartley now appeared from the family room, glaring slightly at the man, "They're out. Now who are you and what are you doing here?"

The man cursed softly under his breath, placed his hand on his hips, and drummed his fingers lightly. Then he shook his head and offered his hand to the teenager. "Name's Red Hood. I'm sure Kid Mouth's told you about me already."

James lit up.

This was the Red Hood? The man that Wally had stolen the Bat Mobile with? The mercenary that- even though he didn't care much about the no kill rule- acted like an older brother to a whole group of teenaged capes?

"You're Red Hood?" James asked, immediately running to him.

But the man only shook him off, "Yeah, star struck. I know. But we have a small problem right now and I need your whole team to solve it."

Hartley's scowl didn't budge. "It's not that I don't like you, Red Hood- con's camaraderie and what not- I just don't trust you. You're from Gotham. Nothing but crazy comes from that place."

Red Hood only glared back at him. "Clearly, you've been spending too much time with Len and Digger. Geez, can't they get over the fact that Freeze and Penguin outsmarted them once?"

It seemed like James was about to cut into the conversation and contribute his own bit, but Red Hood growled.

"I've been spending too much time with those idiots if I'm actually talking about this... Now get in contact with the rest of your team."

The auburn haired teen only scowled at him and crossed his arm, "You still haven't told us why you barged into our home. And if you know what I know you know, you'd be wise enough to get out before Heatwave tests out some of his more unstable projects on you."

Suddenly, without much warning, Hartley found Red Hood grabbing him by his shirt's collar and smashing him into the nearest wall, "Now you listen to me, you little shit! Your friend Kid Flash and his whole team just got captured by Lex Luthor, Zoom, and some other lackeys and they're not kind like you! They capture to neutralize." Red Hood growled in the teen's face, who gradually became paler at his words.

James squeaked, "Baby Flash is hurt?"

Red Hood sighed and looked back at the teen, "Not yet. But it's Lex Luthor. Believe me when I say better safe than sorry."

Apparently, the blonde was much easier to get through to than the little annoyance called Hartley. "I'll call them all back now! Can't nobody put baby down!"

With that the teen ran off to find both his communicator and his phone, and Red Hood released Hartley from his hold. The teenager seemed shaken by the elder's words, but Red Hood couldn't allow himself to feel bad about that. Not when his younger brother, the red head he had seen as a brother, and all their idiot friends where in the middle of maybe the most dangerous encounter they had ever faced.

Hartley stayed quiet, but cleared his throat after a few seconds, "If it's Zoom, we're going to need some Flash proofing. Do you know how to take on a speedster?"

Red Hood quirked an eyebrow behind the domino mask, but still nodded, "Yeah. I've taken both Kid Flash and Flash enough to find a pattern."

The teen only shook his head, "Zoom's nothing like Flash and K.F. There's a reason he's the Reverse Flash. Our usual 'victim in peril' won't work on distracting him."

"Which means we're actually going to have to think up of a plan..." Red Hood concluded and Hartley nodded.

"I'm going to change into my suit. I'll be back to begin planning."

With this, the teen moved to go to his room, but something stopped him before he disappeared completely. "I understand the concern for Robin, seeing how you're his version of us... But why Wally? Why do you care about the rest of the Team?"

The question made Jason's insides churn. Because, on the inside, he wasn't thinking like the Red Hood. He was worrying like Jason Todd. After all the shit he had been through, somehow Robin, Wally, Kaldur, and even Conner had managed to worm their way into his self-presumed stone cold heart. After those four were in, the rest of the team- including the adult heroes that supported them- found their own way inside.

And that was why he was so worried right now. It wasn't just Robin this time that captured. Or M'gann like that one time... No, this time it was the whole team that got captured. And he wasn't sure he'd be able to handle losing all of them. Heck, he wasn't sure he was able to hand losing one.

But he didn't say any of that. Instead he frowned at the teen, "I owe them a favor. It will be considered repaid." He answered in a growl, trying to keep his voice even and threatening.

Apparently, Hartley saw right through it, but didn't say anything as he turned once more and went to change.

"I got in contact with the rest! Cold says he'll be here in Flasher speed!" James yelled from one side of the warehouse and Red Hood released a breath he hadn't been aware of holding.

Now it was just a matter of rescue.
