I have been busy the past week and I'm sorry if I haven't had any time to update my stories. So, um, sorry?
I always say this, but please review! It would be greatly appreciated.
These ages don't make any sense! Gah! At least to me they don't.
Wally-11
Roy-14
Dick-9
Roy and Dick were playing in Green Arrow's rarely used room at the Watchtower. The archer only needed to use it when he was extremely tired from a mission or whenever he wanted to get away from some of his co-workers (coughcoughBatmancough), so he gladly let the two go in for a bit.
Roy was sitting on the green bed in the middle of the room while Dick was seated on the tan carpet, both holding Xbox controllers in their hands. While looking through some of Roy's mentor's stuff, which they both agreed was a bit cliche (seriously, Ollie? Green Arrow t-shirts?), the duo had stumbled upon the controllers and a few games. They decided on Dead Space, and were currently blowing up aliens (A/N: that's all I gathered from watching my dad play it).
They were so engrossed in the game that they didn't notice the door open until Roy's character died. Dick spotted the one who had opened the door at the corner of his eye. He wasn't wearing a mask though, because he had complained that it was hard to see the aliens who were set out to kill them.
So as he scrambled to get his mask on, Roy took in the sight at the door. Flash and a redheaded boy, who looked older than Dick and younger than Roy, stood awkwardly in place. The boy had windswept hair, and as mentioned before, his hair was indeed red. Not dyed, though. Freckles dotted his face that accented his emerald green eyes well. He had the build of a runner, it was obvious to see with that skin tight costume he was wearing. He had the Flash colors, red and yellow. In Roy's opinion, too much yellow. Roy noted that the Flash symbol was also on his chest.
Roy narrowed his eyes. 'Who's he supposed to be? Another speedster?' Dick had gotten the domino mask on his face by that time.
Flash gently nudged the kid standing behind him. The condiment kid, as Roy had dubbed him (in his head of course), took a step forward, and summoned the courage to speak.
"Hi, I'm Wally. I mean Kid Flash! Kid Flash! Ohcrapmysecretidentityisruined,sorryBarry! Oh! Yours too! I'm the worstsidekickeverintheworldand-"
Barry cut him off. "It's okay, Wally, they know my secret identity and they can know yours too."
Wally took a deep breath in relief. He had looked like he was going to hyperventilate. "Oh, thank god! I thought that I was going to be renamed to Kid Screw-up or something!"
Roy and Dick looked at each other in unison. "So lemme guess, you're Robin," he pointed to Dick, "and you're... Speedy?" He asked, this time pointing to Roy. They both thought that he was a pretty good person if he could actually tell who they were. In Wally's book, it wasn't a large victory, as they had both been decked out in full hero gear.
"Yep! I'm Robin! Nice to meet you, Kid Flash!" Dick said, walking up to him. He was beaming up at Kid Flash. Wally instantly began to warm up to the Boy Wonder, due to his politeness and friendly nature. Everybody liked him.
Roy was another story. He was not a people person, so first introductions came as a challenge to him. 'Challenge accepted.'
"Um, yeah, I'm Speedy. Just glad you got the name right." He said, cracking a small smile. He reached out his hand. Wally shook it, growing more comfortable by the moment. "So, I'm guessing that you have super speed."
Wally nodded. "Yeah. I'm still learning how to control my powers, though. Last week I ran into a wall."
Roy stared. "Um, shouldn't you still be recovering, then?" Wally shook his head.
"Nope! I have super fast healing-" his stomach growled. The speedster grinned sheepishly. "-and a serious metabolism."
"Oh." Roy looked at his feet, feeling stupid because, duh! Of course he would have the same powers as Barry!
The trio stood in silence for a moment until Dick suggested that they get some food, since it was already around lunch time.
As they made their way to the cafeteria, they asked some questions to learn more about each other.
"So, is this your first time to the tower?" Roy asked Wally.
"Um, yeah. It's cool, but it's so big! It kinda freaks me out." The redhead responded. "What are your favorite animals?"
Robin eagerly spoke up. "Definitely a bat! Or maybe a Robin... okay fine, I like both equally!"
The archer rolled his eyes at his childish antics. Obviously that would be his answer. "Mine is probably a wolf. It's the only thing I can think of."
Wally nodded. "I think mine is a cheetah! Barry hasn't allowed me to go to Africa yet, though. If I go there, I would totally race one! Guess who would win!" He said that last part while waggling his eyebrows.
By the time they had arrived at their destination, they had found out each other's favorite color, movie, food, and name (to which Wally gawked in surprise at Dick's).
They ate their food while Roy and Wally chatted about how awesome the video game, Call of Duty: Black Ops was going to be once they went back to Ollie's room. But Dick had other ideas.
Roy swallowed his last mouthful of food. "Okay, guys, let's go!" Wally stood up, but the ebony was nowhere to be found. They looked around, frantically scanning the room for any sign of the bird. But he was gone.
"Oh no. Not again." Roy groaned, putting his face in his hands. Wally whipped around. "Again?!"
"Yeah. He disappears like the little ninja he is! One with the shadows..." Roy said dramatically, but only slightly exaggerating.
Wally now started to tremble. "What about Batman?"
Roy now began to get serious. "He must not find out." He whispered in Wally's ear. "Or he'll have our heads... But who's saying that he doesn't already know?"
The shaking increased. "We have to find him!"
"Alright, let's look." They began to walk out of the cafeteria, but before they could get very far, a pair of big blue eyes were in their faces.
"BOO!" Roy and Wally screamed like schoolgirls, clutching each other for dear life. Meanwhile, a devious little bird was howling with laughter. He hung from the ceiling upside down, his legs wrapped around a wire.
"Hey, guys, what's... up?" Flash said, confused at the scene before him.
Wally ran to hug the living daylights out of his uncle. Barry started to gasp for air. Realizing what he was doing, the younger speedster let go.
"Wally, we gotta go! Your aunt is going to be mad if we're late for dinner! And we do not want to be late!" The redhead nodded. He started to walk away with his uncle, but looked back. He ran to his newfound friends and awkwardly hugged them.
"We should see each other again sometime."
Dick smirked, sharing a knowing look with Roy. "It sounds like you were implying that we weren't."
Wally smiled, then speeded off, waving a goodbye.
This was the start of a beautiful friendship.
Sucky ending sucks. Oh well.
Have a fan-freaking-tastical day!
