Bad Speedster!
with special guest appearance – Bad Baywatch!

So, since Bad Ninja was so popular I decided to make it into a series. Can't be certain that the rest of it will be as good, but I have to agree with about half of my reviewers that Robin would so get back at them somehow.

Um, I may need a bit of help on one bit though. 'Bad Martian' and 'Bad Atlantean' might sound a bit racist, and calling Conner 'Bad Clone' will not end well. So, ideas? I really only need to know what you could call Conner cause I can deal with the other two. I'm currently working on 'Bad Archer', but don't know when that's coming up.

Disclaimer – don't own Young Justice.

Robin sat at his desk in his room, frowning thoughtfully as he held a pencil against his homework.

The homework was really only as an excuse if either Alfred or Bruce were to enter. In all actuality, he was planning something completely unrelated to fractions.

While Dick could totally understand exactly why his friends had done that, he couldn't quite let it go. Not without at least some form of revenge.

It wouldn't have to be really bad. Just something with a mild embarrassment factor…

Someone else might have simply put an embarrassing picture of his friends online and called it even. But while Robin had more than enough blackmail material to go online, this called for something more unusual…

Maybe the punishment should fit the crime?

Robin leaned back in his chair, smirking. A spray bottle to attack Wally instead would work. Especially if he could get the others to join in on it.

Artemis would jump at the chance, and Kaldur would go in if the thing they were attacking him for was dangerous to the team and/or KF himself. M'gann would want to join in to help Wally if the cause was good, and the Martian girl would be able to convince Conner with ease. He might possibly even get the Flash in on it – although since Batman had never found out what they'd had to do, he supposed he could leave Wally without his mentor knowing…

Robin smiled, dropping the pencil. He'd found his revenge. Okay, it was just against KF, but that was something he could deal with. He was the perpetrator of the plot in the first place, after all.

But he'd just need a good reason for the speedster to get sprayed…

The souvenirs? No, that wouldn't work. The only one who'd go in for that was Artemis, and Arty would join in attacking Kid if Dick went with 'breathing loudly'. And breathing loudly would hardly get the point across.

Something reckless? That's a maybe, but not quite… it wasn't something unique to Wally…

He'd just have to wait for an opportunity.

He got his chance a week later.

"I'll just go on patrol, take a look at what's up." Robin suggested, vanishing.

Okay, maybe the whole 'Bad Ninja!' thing had worked just a little.

Remember not to go into battle against anyone without calling for help. Aqualad added in his mind.

Okay then. Robin agreed easily.

He crept along the passageways, and then peered into the room.

The villain they were here to stop – Batman suspected it was someone working for Lex Luthor – was standing in the middle of the room, smirking. His five henchmen were standing around, holding their guns.

Three teenagers were tied up. All three were girls, and shaking.

Guys, they've got hostages. Robin reported.

Great. Conner groaned.

How many? Kaldur asked.

Three. Teenagers. They look terrified, but otherwise okay.

Wait there. We're on our way. If someone tries to kill a hostage, you can stop them. Kaldur told him.

Got it.

Sure enough, within seconds there was a blur of yellow and red. "Wow." Kid Flash said, looking into the room.

"Yeah. This has to be a high up operation… look at the technology. Then again, if it is Luthor than-" Robin began.

"No, not that." Wally shushed his friend. "That."

Robin glanced in the room again. "What?"

"Her. The black haired girl. She's stunning. Reckon that if I save her, she'll go out with me?"

Robin stared at him.

"Honestly, Baywatch, is there ever a time when you're paying attention?" Artemis hissed, dropping next to them.

"Let's go." Kaldur decided.

Kid Flash shot in, straight to the hostages.

Robin and Artemis somersaulted in, and both began to shoot arrows/batarangs at the villains.

"What the…?" One of the henchmen shouted, pulling his gun out.

"Watch this." Kid Flash smirked to the recently freed hostages.

In under a second he'd stolen all the guns. The henchmen began to keep shooting, and then paused and stared at their now empty hands.

M'gann floated up and raised her hand. The six criminals were thrown into the air and smashed against the wall, going unconscious.

"Nice." Conner complimented.

"Thank you." M'gann smiled at her boyfriend.

"You okay?" Wally asked the girls.

"Yes. Th-thank you." One of the girls stuttered – the raven-haired one that Wally had decreed was 'stunning'.

"No problem. Heroes have to rescue pretty maidens – it's in the job description." Wally kissed her hand.

The girl giggled.

"Oh, brother. What a line." Artemis rolled her eyes.

Robin smirked. Perfect.

He reached into his utility belt and pulled out the spray-bottle he'd bought and walked up to his friend. He gently tapped him on the shoulder.

Kid Flash looked around. "Yes Robin?"

"Bad Speedster!" Robin sprayed him.

Wally yelped and stepped backwards. "What the heck – Robin!"

"Bad Speedster!" Spray.

Artemis was the first to respond, cracking up.

"It's not funny. Rob!" He protested.

"You started it." Robin shot back, spraying him again. "Bad Speedster! And anyway, next time don't be a hormonal idiot."

Kaldur rolled his eyes but smiled. He walked over to the giggling girls. "Are you three okay?"

"Uh… yeah, we're okay." A blonde nodded.

"Okay. Can you find your own way out?"

"Uh… yeah. Sure." The black-haired girl agreed. "Come on girls." The three left.

"This is payback for the Bad Ninja thing, isn't it?" Kid Flash sighed, folding his arms.

"Yep! Bad Speedster!"

"I'm outta here, then." Wally snapped, racing off.

Artemis was still laughing, and Robin allowed himself to join in now that he was gone.

"You know, we still have to tie up the criminals for the police…" M'gann pointed out slowly.

The two non metas didn't react, just kept laughing.

"I think we'd better do it ourselves." Kaldur sighed. "Anyone bring any rope?"

"Okay, hi there." Artemis said, touching the girl on the shoulder.

The attractive girl behind the teller stared at her, horrified. She couldn't talk with the duct tape over her mouth, but she was still looking terrified. Her blue eyes travelled to the bow.

"Oh, don't worry. I'm a hero. The girl who works with Green Arrow – Artemis. You heard of me?" Artemis asked, ducking down to her level.

The teller nodded slowly, more confused than scared at this point.

"Okay. I have a really big favour to ask. I know it's going to sound weird, but I kinda need you to help me on this."

The girl nodded again.

"Um, okay. You know how there's a speedster running around here? Wears yellow, has goggles, red hair, goes by the name of Kid Flash?"

The girl nodded again, confused.

"This might sound really weird and I won't blame you for thinking I'm nuts, but I need you to flirt with him."

The girl stared.

"It's for this prank me and Robin have going. He's a huge flirt, and we're trying to make him stop it. So can you just pretty please say thank you repeatedly and maybe hug him and call him really brave or something?"

The girl still looked confused but nodded slowly.

"Great. Thanks heaps." Artemis grinned, running back out.

"What were you doing?" Kaldur glanced at her, moving a sobbing three year old back to her mother while also trying not to be shot.

"Just reassuring a civilian." Artemis smiled, shooting a knock-out arrow. Three goons dropped unconscious.

Conner raised an eyebrow at her, punching out one of the goons attempting to rob the bank. He'd obviously heard their one-sided conversation but didn't mention anything.

"And there we have it." Robin cackled, dropping the head henchman on the ground. He was tied and gagged. "That everyone?"

Conner grabbed a goon and threw him at another. Both crashed to the ground. "Yep."

"Kid? Can you untie the tellers?" Artemis asked.

"On it." Wally nodded, racing behind them.

Robin gave her a weird look. She winked.

In seconds the junior partner to the Flash had placed all the tellers, safely untied, in the centre of the floor. "Everyone okay?"

The blonde teller gave an uncertain glance at Artemis, then grabbed Kid Flash and hugged him tightly. "Thank you!"

Wally blinked. "Uh, no problem."

"And so modest! Thank you so much – you're so brave." She said, piling it on.

Apparently she had acting lessons in high-school or something, because she wasn't half bad.

The Fastest Boy Alive looked stunned for a minute, and then beamed. "Oh, it was no trouble. No problem at all ma'am."

"But… you did it so well. And you put your life on the line for us." The girl trailed a finger along his face.

Kid Flash grinned. "Oh, it's no biggie. It's all in a day's work."

Artemis glanced at Robin and pulled her spray-bottle out of her quiver. Robin caught her eye, smirked and reached for his utility belt.

"And really, we train for this sort of stuff. These goons were childs-play compared to some of the villains we normally have to face." Kid Flash continued.

"Bad Speedster!"

"Bad Speedster!"

Both Artemis and Robin sprayed him.

Kid Flash jerked backwards from the blonde and stared at his team-mates. "What? Seriously?"

"No flirting while wearing costume, Kid Hormone." Artemis smirked. "Bad Speedster!" They sprayed him again.

"I'm sorry," Kid Flash said to the girl. "But my team-mates are-"

"Bad Speedster!"

"-Nuts. I'll go now. Try not to get captured any more, okay?" With that parting piece of advice, he raced off out the door.

Artemis sent a grin at the girl once she was sure he was gone. "Thanks heaps!"

"Uh… no problem?" The girl said, unsure. She hesitated. "Actually, wait. Is there some way I could have some sort of proof to tell the girls that a super-hero actually asked for a favour from me?"

Robin, Kaldur and M'gann gave the archer weird looks which she ignored pointedly.

Instead, Artemis pulled an arrow out from her quiver. "Here." She handed it to the teller.

"Thank you…?" The attractive girl blinked.

"Guys, come on. We've gotta go." Conner groaned.

"Oh, right. Come on Artemis." Robin dragged her by the shoulder.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Artemis rolled her eyes and ran out.

"What was that about?" The teller's supervisor stared at her.

The blonde girl shrugged and looked at the arrow. "I have no idea. I just work here."

"I thought he was meant to be the one who ran off during missions!" Artemis shouted, pointing at Robin.

"Hey!" The Boy Wonder snapped, looking up from where he was downloading the villain's information onto a disk.

"I hope he hasn't been captured…" M'gann said, frowning.

"We should search for him." Kaldur decided, glancing around the room. The villain was unconscious and his robots were either broken, dismantled or sparking. "Superboy, Miss Martian, you two go off to the West. Artemis, you and I will go East. I think we can safely rule out South," Kaldur glanced at the huge expanse of ocean behind them, "So Robin, you'll go North. Miss Martian, can you set up a telepathic communication so that we can report if we've found him?"

"I don't need to, Kaldur." M'gann sighed. "I've already found his brain-waves. He's not far – just in the suburbs."

"Is he okay?" Robin asked, finishing the download.

"I can't be certain at this distance, but I think so. He doesn't seem to be overly stressed or scared, at least." M'gann frowned. "Of course, that could be a drug or something similar."

"Okay. Let's go." Kaldur said, nudging the unconscious villain. "He should stay unconscious until the police come pick him up, but just in case…" The Atlantean pulled a table on and gently pinned it so that the man wasn't being crushed but couldn't move.

M'gann nodded, flying off. A second later the bio-ship was hovering outside the window, the door open.

Robin easily jumped in. Conner was a second behind him. Both reached their hands out for Artemis and Kaldur automatically, pulling them into the ship.

The green girl directed the ship, and in seconds they had landed on a road.

"Well, this might not make the news if we're lucky." Artemis remarked as they walked out.

"I do not believe it…" Kaldur groaned, putting a hand to his head.

"So how many villains do you stop?" A curvy brunette girl was saying to Kid Flash, who was leaning casually against a tree. "On average?"

"Oh, a couple. Last week I put Captain Cold in jail, and a few days before that I had a fight with Trickster, but you know, nothing serious." The flirt said, trying to make it sound like it was no big deal.

"That's amazing." The brunette smiled. "I mean, you do that sort of stuff all the time, with just you and the Flash?"

"Nup. Sometimes I go off alone. I mean, we're partners, so if Flash wants a night off I'm always happy to help."

"Baywatch!" Artemis shrieked, stomping over to him.

Wally jumped. "Jeez, Artemis, you scared me."

"Good! What were you thinking – at least when Robin runs off he's doing it for a good reason! You did this just to chat up some girl?"

"Who are you?" The brunette cocked her head to the side. "Oh, you're Arrowette, right?"

"No, I'm Artemis." Artemis growled. She pulled her spray-bottle out and pointed it at Wally. "And he's dead. Bad Speedster!"

"Yah!" Wally yelped. "Seriously Artemis, that's insane…"

"Bad Speedster!" Conner agreed, spraying him.

Robin gently touched the girl on the shoulder. She jumped.

"Sorry, did we scare you? Well, anyway, I'm Robin. You might want to go home now." Robin advised her.

"But…" The girl glanced at Wally, who was surrounded by all four and being sprayed. "What about Flash Boy?"

"Trust me. He ain't coming out any time soon. And anyway, he's just a flirt."

The girl nodded slowly and took a step back. "Uh, bye then."

"See ya!" Robin agreed, walking over to Wally. "Bad Speedster!" He shouted, spraying him.

"You're all insane!"

"Yeah, so?"

"So, you need any help Megalicious?" Wally asked, leaning against the wall. "You know science is kinda my specialty."

"Yes, I knew that." M'gann answered, looking up from the coffee-table she was poring over her homework on. "But I think I've got this covered. Conner explained it all to me."

Wally sighed, and then a second later he was next to her on the couch. "You sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Then what about a date? You, me… anywhere you wanna go. I can take you to Paris if you want."

"That's very kind Wally, but if you don't mind I'm really fine here." M'gann said, her smile just a little forced. "I have to get this homework done."

"Then how about I run up and grab some romantic food? I can get authentic Italian if you like, fresh from Rome. Or if you're in the mood for Thai, or Mexican, or whatever you'd like."

M'gann considered sending him off to Rome or something and disappearing before he got back, but that would be cruel and just leading him on.

She wished there was some way to tell him she wasn't interested without hurting his feelings. Maybe when she and Conner told everyone that they were dating…

"Wally, I'm sorry, but I really am fine." M'gann said. "Can you please leave me alone?"

"But Megalicious, really, I'd love to! Just say the word and I can get you any of your favourite earth food… uh, except Oreos, though." He added quickly.

M'gann's shoulders slumped slightly as the fact that there was no way he would let her get Oreos. "Wally, it's really kind of you to offer but the fact is I've already eaten, I'm kinda tired and I just want to finish my homework and get to bed."

"Then let me help with the homework!"

M'gann had had enough.

She reached for her spray-bottle calmly and aimed it at his face. "Bad Speedster!" She sprayed him.

"Yah! M'gann, what was that?" Wally demanded.

"Bad Speedster! Bad Speedster! Bad Speedster!"

"M'gann…" Wally whined.

M'gann let go of the spray-bottle. It kept floating and spraying him as the Martian girl leaned back over her homework. "Bad Speedster." She said absently, writing.

"M'gann, not fair!"

"Everyone keeps saying no flirting while in costume." She smiled.

There was a blur and suddenly Wally was back, this time dressed in his casual clothes. "There, not in uniform."

"I still know who you are." M'gann gave him a smile, looking up from her work. "And while I'll admit it's kinda flattering for you to keep flirting with me, I would really appreciate it if you stopped."

Wally pouted. "But Green Cheeks…"

"Bad Speedster!" M'gann said, telekinetically making the sprayer spray him again. "Bad Speedster! Bad Speedster! Bad Speedster!"

"M'gann-"

"Bad Speedster!"

"Can you-"

"Bad Speedster!"

"Wait a second-"

"Bad Speedster!"

Wally sighed in exasperation and than raced off.

M'gann gave a self satisfied smile and went back to her homework.

Maybe now he'll stop flirting with me?

Somehow, she doubted it, but it was good to have a way to stop him for next time.

"Where is he… oh brother." Artemis rolled her eyes as she looked around the food court.

She was dressed in civilian clothing, as were the rest of the team – somewhere.

Black Canary had noticed that the team seemed to be having a minor rough spot – no-one was game to mention water-sprays – so she had sent them on a mission to 'assimilate with typical teenagers together to prepare for times on a mission when they might have to pass off as friends'.

Basically, it was forcing the kids to hang out together at a mall under the pretext of training. Artemis wouldn't have minded, but since she and Wally had the most 'tension' Kaldur had suggested that they stay together.

Wally was currently flirting with a pretty girl behind the counter of a bakery, who was trying to shoo him away.

"I have other customers…"

"No, you don't, beautiful." Wally pointed out. "No-one else is here. So come on. How about I buy you something from here? A donut?"

"I'm watching my figure." The girl said icily.

"Really? Cause you don't need to. But if you want, I'll even help you watch it!"

Artemis stormed over to him, pulling her sprayer out of her back-pack as she went. She'd brought it as a 'just in case'.

"Wally?" Artemis tapped him on the shoulder.

"What?" Wally turned to face her.

He got sprayed in the face. "Bad… uh, Baywatch. Bad Baywatch!"

"Bad Baywatch? Really, Artemis?" Wally winced, stepping backwards.

Hey, if he wasn't allowed to run off without giving away his secret identity, then she wasn't passing up this opportunity.

"I'm sorry about my brother." Artemis added to the girl behind the counter, spraying him again. "Bad Baywatch!"

The girl blinked. "Uh, no problem…?"

"Thanks! Come on Wally, Mum and Dad must be worried by now." Artemis grabbed him by the ear and dragged him off.

"Ow! Hey! Artemis! That hurts! Seriously… ow!"

"Bad Baywatch!" Spray.

"Stop spraying me and let me go!"

Like it? Then review! And seriously, need a bit of help with the rest of them.
