This... yea, I really don't know where this came from... hhaaha. Inspired partially by the Judas Contract storyline from the Teen Titans comic. More on that at the bottom. Please R&R :D I promise, I'm working on my neglected stories :x
"At least I've never been mistaken for a fire hydrant, flash boy!"
"Well at least I never wore spandex undies and elf boots, unlike you, Mr. Shortpants!" Artemis covered up a smirk – while she was sick of Kid Flash and Robin bickering, and even more sick of Wally in general, whenever they got into blackmail territory, things got interesting…
Robin though, just rolled his eyes. "Really, Wally? That's the best you could come up with? The old costume and the pixie boots?" Wally nodded proudly. "First of all, I've heard it a million times. Half from you." Undeterred, the speedster thought Robin was stalling for time.
"Second of all," he continued, "It's a common misconception. Totally false."
"Uh huh, sure- wait, what?" Wally sputtered. "You so wore the shortpants! I have photo evidence!" Robin shook his head, smiling.
"Sorry Wally, but nope. You look, and you assume."
"Assume what?"
"I never wore spandex short shorts in my costume."
"Yes you did!"
"Nope!" Robin was smirking, much to the frustration of Wally, sure he had won the fight.
With a snort, Artemis asked, "Well then, do either of you have solid evidence to prove your case?"
"Pictures don't lie!"
"Yes they do, ever hear of the paparazzi? And you want proof Artie? I wore the thing! I should know!"
"The pictures show solid evidence!" Wally whined in protest, pulling up a picture on the holographic computer. "See?"
Artemis couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw the old costume. "Omygod, he wasn't kidding? Though as embarrassing as it is, it's strangely adorable," she concurred, staring at the picture.
"Yep, that's my old costume. But seriously, I never wore short shorts. The photo lies."
"How?" Wally shouted, "it's totally impossible for there to be like, invisible pants there or something, so…"
"Impossible is a pretty broad term, Wally. Be prepared to remove the 'im' to make it possible," the boy wonder said, throwing something green at Kid Flash.
"Dude! What is this?"
"See for yourself," Robin invited, smug smirk on his face. With a roll of his eyes, Wally unfolded the cloth, and to his confusion and Robin's euphoria found a small green leotard with short sleves.
"What's this got to do with anything?" Wally dumbly asked.
"Hold it up to the picture, Wally. Use your brain." Artemis quickly found the connection, and with a roll of her eyes, turned her attention to Wally, who still didn't understand. Robin prompted, "Imagine that with a bright red vest over it…" It hit Wally like a sack of bricks.
"Dude! So not cool!" he shouted, annoyed.
"Told you I didn't wear shortpants!"
Yea, so how does this come from the Judas Contract? That's when Robby transitions to Nightwing. When he decides he's not Robin anymore, he takes off his red vest, revealing a green leotard - it was never super-undies like most people think. ;)
