"God, I hate stakeouts," Wally whined to Robin, who was to his left.
It had been a few weeks since him and PQ met, and he found that there was something special about her that just kept him coming back.
Not that her always walking with him in the hallways during the last week of school didn't help. Or the fact that she was almost always at his door with two bicycles insisting he go riding with her down to some random place. She had found a nice place in his life to weasel herself into, and she wasn't leaving anytime soon.
Anyways, he and Robin were watching the docks from a perch surrounded by some shrubbery, as there were some suspicions about a transfer of Blockbuster serum that was going on that night. It was just them, and Wally had been complaining the whole time.
"Kid Mouth, if you complain one more time-"
"So I met this girl a couple weeks ago," Wally interjected.
Immediately Robin's attitude changed, "Oh?"
"Yeah man."
"What's her name?" Robin asked, it had been awhile since Wally had been interested in any other girl than Artemis, his growing crush (even if he wasn't admitting it.)
"PQ," he replied.
Back at Fort Quimby, PQ's ears started twitching. Someone was talking about her.
Robin paused. "Pee Cue? What kind of name is that?"
"See that's exactly what I said! But no, it's like the letters, P and Q."
"Oh. What's it stand for?" Robin asked.
"She didn't say," Wally answered. "She really likes eggs, though."
"Well that's not random at all," Robin sarcastically replied.
"Well it's not when the reason that you know that is because you went to IHop with her!" Wally argued, rather loudly I must say.
"Shh!" Robin hissed. "You already went out with her? Dude you don't even know her name! What were you thinking?"
"What? It wasn't like that! We were just two friends hanging out," Wally huffed.
"Friends? You. Don't. Know. Her. Name," Robin reiterated, throwing his hands in the air for emphasis. "How can you be friends?"
"I've known her for like five weeks. She's my only friend back in Central, besides Uncle B and Aunt I. She says she can hear some narrator girl up in the sky, and from the mindscape we went into, she-"
"Wait, narrator girl in the sky? Mindscape?" Robin interrupted, confused.
"Yeah, I know. Crazy right?" Wally asked, making the cuckoo hand signal.
"Excuse me, but I am not crazy. I'm insane. That sounds ten times cooler anyways," a new voice whispered behind the two boys.
Robin jumped up and drew a batarang from his utility belt while Wally jumped and turned around, surprised, but he soon relaxed.
"Speaking of, if a sane person can make another sane person insane, then can an insane person make another insane person sane?" PQ pursed her lips in thought, then added, "Someone should pitch that idea down to Arkham or something."
"Hey, PQ. Wazzaaaa," Kid Flash greeted nonchalantly.
"Wazzaaaa," PQ echoed.
"How'd you find me?"
"Welp, dude, it gets boring just sitting around making fart noises with a person in the sky. So I asked Maddie what you were doing then told her to take me to you and here you are, on a mission with the Boy-Wonder-who-needs-to-chill-out. Plus, you totally forgot to invite me," she replied, taking a seat on the edge of their hiding spot.
"Wait, you're PQ?" Robin asked still holding up his weapons.
"The one and only! And you're Robin and he's Kid Flash. Now that I believe we've established names, well mostly, I think those are your guys," PQ stated, pointing at some bulky guys pushing boxes marked "Blockbuster."
She watched Robin and Kid Flash take down the men.
There was a point where someone was about to get a really nice blow to Robin's head, but she intervened, making a sort of invisible barrier, with the help of me of course. The boys tied them up and left them for the police.
When they were done, she hopped on Kid Flash's back while he carried Robin bridal-style.
"Where to, PQ?" Kid Flash asked, preparing to run.
"The Fortress Of Solitude! No, jk, just take me home." she pointed. "Onward, HO!"
"Wait, how do you know about that?" Robin asked.
"Whee!" PQ squealed as they took off, ignoring his question and making the bird even more suspicious, but he didn't let it show.
"Wouldn't it make more sense to carry her like this and me to ride on your back?" Robin complained.
"Yeah, but you're lighter, plus it's cute," PQ replied. "I totally ship you two."
"What in the world is shipping?" Robin asked.
"I'll explain when we get home," she shouted over the wind. Robin looked more hesitant though.
They came to an abrupt stop. Right outside the fort.
"Yayness! Guys come on!" PQ jumped off Wally's back and walked inside.
"Hey, you didn't tell me you met her in costume," Robin stepped in front of Kid Flash, blocking his path.
"I didn't," Kid Flash replied, attempting to move forward again.
"Hold on, Wally, are you telling me you told her your identity?" Robin stopped him again.
"No, she already knew," Wally shrugged and attempted to get past him again.
"Dude!" Robin blocked Wally's path again, causing Wally to roll his eyes in annoyance. "Aren't you worried she might be," Robin paused and made a cuckoo sign with his finger.
"We've already established she is, man," Wally replied, about to go in, when Robin stopped him again.
"Are you sure she's safe?" Robin asked.
"Nope, but she's a bucketload of fun. So come on!" with that, Wally went in.
Then PQ poked her head out, "Come on, dude. You know what they say, 'YOLO!' Plus, I gots all da sodas."
Robin still stood, and PQ sighed. "Alright, do you just wanna go home?"
He said nothing.
"Fine. Party pooper. Maddie?"
Yes?
"Can you please take Robin back to Wayne Manor?"
Robin jumped, eyes widening behind the cowl. He was there just long enough to see PQ's triumphant smirk and wave before he was at the Manor.
"Haha, yeah, he'll be back pretty soon. And he might bring DaddyBats," Wally poked his head out behind her. He had changed from his costume to a red shirt with a flash insignia and a pair of navy blue jeans.
"Yeah, I know."
Silence.
"So, what is this... shipping?"
"Oh, boy, this is gonna be fuuuuun!" PQ exclaimed as she and Wally entered the fort.
*Back At The Manor*
When Dick heard... PQ tell whoever this... Maddie was to teleport him to the Manor, he felt his blood run cold.
She knows, he thought. But right as he was about to ask her about it he was in the living room of the Manor, in full costume. She had smirked at him.
Robin ran down to the Batcave and changed into his civilian wear before dashing back upstairs. He ran into his room and carefully closed the door, remembering the consequences of the last time he slammed his door.
He walked over to his desk, picking up a pencil case, which caused a small slot on the wall right above his desk that only he, Alfred and Bruce knew about to open, revealing a key.
He pulled the key out and used it to unlock a drawer at the bottom of his dresser that contained his personal laptop.
He smirked in satisfaction before taking it over to his bed. He then proceeded to log on and hack Keystone High's files.
It was just a hunch that Wally and her went to the same school, but he was following it.
He typed in PQ and found her profile.
"Weird," he said. He had found zero information on her besides the fact that her mom's name was Madlyn Foster (and, after some research on Google, he'd found that she was fake), she apparently was 15, and that she moved to Keystone sometime around April 10th.
He pulled out a notepad. Yes, he knew it was a little old fashioned, but he didn't want to store the information on a computer that could easily be hacked.
Titling the page PQ, he listed all the information he had on her.
1. Is known by PQ
2. May or may not have mom
3. Is new to Keystone/Central
4. Knows KF and my secret ID's, possibly knowing more
5. Most likely delusional; talks to invisible girl she has named "Maddie"
Then, at the bottom, he put "Possible Threat."
Very unsatisfied with his findings, Dick decided that he would take them to Bruce (when he had time, of course) and ask if he could help him do some research.
What had Wally gotten himself into?
Hey guys :3 woops I'm late. Like by several days. But hey, I put a lot of work into this chapter so it wouldn't be boring. Ask PQ, didn't you think this was funish?
PQ: that's irrelevant
Me: You know, you're a real turd sometimes.
PQ: yeah.
Me: Alright well please review and I maybe will update sooner?
But honestly, I've been busy because I'm a theatre geek and I'm doing a show that we've been working on forever and it just keeps me busy. I've had this done since before I posted last time though, so really that's not an excuse? Sorry.
Anyways, shoutouts to TazzieLuv13 and leena1445 for being so kind not only to favorite/follow this story but also reviewing. You guys are awesome :)
Alrighty, I gotta go cuz it's like 2AM and that's crazy cuz it's summer and I should be catching some Zs but instead I'm writing fanfictions because why not? Love you guys!
