A/N: Alrighty, so another chapter of this. I found it's in high demand. Two days and almost twenty reviews. Thanks a ton. It means a lot to me.

"Hey, Rob?"

Robin looked over his shoulder at Wally who had just vaulted over the back of the couch to crash onto the cushions and kick his feet up on the coffee table in front of the sofa instead of going around it and just sitting down like most normal people would do. "What is it?" he asked, working on his laptop to update some of the software on his systems that had been torched by firewalls when trying to hack into the Cadmus security a few weeks ago. "Red Tornado got us a new mission?" The raven-haired teen didn't even make a move to shift his gaze to his best friend.

Wally was quiet for a few moments before saying, "Nooooo." He reached one hand up and ran it through his ginger hair before leaning over to check what his friend was doing on the small computer that sat on his lap. "Not yet anyways."

"Then whatcha need?" Robin still didn't look up from his work as he rapidly installed new firewalls and encryption codes into his suit's database. He seemed to engrossed in the computer to give much of his attention to Wally.

The older tried to find a nice way to string together the question he was trying to form. He didn't find it proper to ask outright, but beating around the bush wasn't going to get him anywhere fast. Wally decided to find a middle ground that he could step on without the floor falling though on him. "Why doesn't Batman let you tell us your name?"

The Boy Wonder still didn't look to his friend, but his answer was blunt. "Because it doesn't matter."

Pursing his lips, the speedster drank in a deep breath of the air that filled the inside of Mount Justice. His expression twisted into puzzlement as he tried to find another way to ask indirectly. He didn't want to be too straightforward and set off Robin, but he did prefer to do things quickly; this was already taking longer than he normally would've liked.

Robin's fingers clicked down the keys as he worked his way through the newest hacks he had just uploaded from the Hall of Justice's universal database. "If you're trying to get to a point, just get to it."

Wally decided to play off of what Robin had given him. As long as the younger boy was talking, the fifteen-year-old figured the ball was in his court and he was on a roll. "How does it not matter?" asked Wally, daring himself to challenge Robin's last response. "We trust you with our identities, but Batman doesn't trust us to know yours?"

"I don't know why," responded Robin. He gave a little shrug, still tapping away on the keys about as fast as Flash could run. "It doesn't bother me that you guys don't know or anything. I mean, I don't like being called Robin twenty-four seven, but I deal with it." Robin wasn't about to give Wally an honest answer, but that was the closest thing he could come up with that wasn't the complete truth. Then he threw a question right back at Wally. "Why do you want to know?"

Wally sighed, knowing Batman's protégé wasn't going to give him a straight answer. It was like the dark teen knew what his friend was doing before he even knew what he was going to do himself. To his friend he just simply replied, "I just want to know, that's all."

"Curiosity killed the cat," remarked the thirteen-year-old boy, voice almost a warning for Wally to stop before he dove in too deep. He didn't want his friend to get his hopes up on getting answers. Robin had buried all of his secrets deep underground where no one would find them unless they were looking desperately in the same way a poor pirate would search for treasure. "Don't forget that."

A thin smile crept it's way across Wally's face with a little devilish gleam in his piercing emerald eyes. He pulled his feet off the coffee table and rose to his full height, watching as Robin's hidden gaze finally redirected from the screen to his ginger-haired friend. "But I'm faster than the cat," snickered Wally before heading off to the darker corridors of Mount Justice to figure out a way to get Robin's identity out of him. And if Robin wouldn't cave, Flash's nephew would find other means. He was determined enough to do anything to get the true name of his best friend.

A/N: Outright didn't work. Now we go to the shadows to find a name. Review and I'll post again soon.
