Wally fell in step with Jenny, drawing himself away from the others that were having mostly a one-sided conversation, seeing as how Roy's girlfriend Jade, and the dark-by-nature Elliot hadn't spoken one word and the small teenager named Stefan was grumpily glaring at each of them. He looked at Jenny and was sadly reminded of how much her personality was like unto Jinx's. Well, when she'd been with the Hive FIVE, that is. Once she turned over to the Titans, the bad-luck witch had become friendlier… at least to him anyway. But her appearance was far off from Jen's. This girl had long black hair pulled up in a ponytail-Wally guessed that when it was down, it went to her waist-, dark purple eyes-most likely contacts-, and a dark olive skin tone. Of course, Jinx could have gotten some halo rings, but why would she come back to Jump City after freeing some of the Hive members and the freaky assassin girl Cheshire? No, she was probably in some far off country. Besides, he doubted the Jinx he knew would ever hang out with Roy. Jenny looked over at him, a seemingly permanent frown on her face and narrowed eyes, but nonetheless confused as to why he was walking next to her. Wally smiled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Hey, you know I'm sorry for knocking into you. I was sort of… thinking about things." The girl nodded slowly, still looking at him with those piercing eyes. He flinched back a little at her coldness. What's up with her? I wonder what happened to her for her to become… like this.

"Mm." Was all the reply he got. So much for starting a conversation.

"So," He started again, hoping to get the strange girl to talk to him. He didn't know why, but he really wanted to become her friend, get her to like him. "They don't talk much do they?" He jerked his head towards the three in front of them. Jenny shook her head.

"Not Jade and Elliot. The reason, I don't know. But Stefan, at home he's a chatter box, always asking about what he could make and everything." Home?

"Oh. Is Stefan related to you? Like distantly?" He quickly looked Stefan over and matched him to the girl walking beside him. Way Distantly. He was a short little bald boy and she looked more like a princess from India or something. Ha. There was no way-

"Yes. He's my brother." She said with confidence. Wally balked. Jen looked at him and was so close to smiling at his expression. "Adopted. Only some idiot would think we were actually blood related." Wally laughed self consciously. Some Idiot.

"I'm guessing you don't talk much either?" Wally accused, and then mentally kicked himself. What a nice question to ask. Especially to her. She was the kind that made you scared and when she probed you with her venom filled eyes, it made you want to hind under a rock and shiver in fear until she left. Like she could kick his butt if he made her mad enough. But after spending time with Jinx, the look completely unfazed Wally. But he had a feeling she could still kick his butt if the need arose. Jenny glared at him for a few moments before sighing.

"Not to strangers I've just met. But I do talk and that's more than I can say for Elliot or Jade." The famous pizza place that all the Titans used to go to on their time off stood right in front of them, Elliot holding the door open for the latecomers. "Thanks." Jen said to the boy, who nodded and smiled. Wally followed soon after, wondering how Roy put up with his company. A girlfriend that never spoke-how do they even talk to each other? Maybe she writes on a piece of paper or something. That's lame.-a snobby little teenager-wonder if he's ever going to have a growth spurt..?.-that was too smart for his own good. Yah, Wally had heard of him. One of the greatest minds on the planet and he was only fifteen! Then there was Elliot, who wasn't half bad actually, and Jen, with her cold nature. What a team.

"I love this place." Wally said, following the group to the farthest booth, near the kitchen-odd place to sit.-and sitting next to Jen and Elliot. "Used to come here with all my friends. Those were the days." Roy gave a small chuckle, remembering what Wally knew to be the day after the Brotherhood of Evil was defeated and Dr. Light was wiped out, very easily really, and the many teenage hero's had come here to celebrate. Jen drummed her fingers along the table impatiently.

"And what can I get you all today?" A kind voice said. Wally looked up to see an older looking waitress smiling at them.

"Crisped olives and Canadian bacon." Wally, and surprisingly Jenny too, said without much enthusiasm. He got it almost every time he got pizza. He turned to Jenny. "Wow. I've only met a few people that like that." Jen shrugged, and started again to drum her fingers. Once the others had ordered, meaning Roy had, and began conversing, again meaning just Roy, Wally turned to the black haired girl beside him. "So… how did you end up with these guys? I mean, they just don't seem like the kind you'd hang with. Expect maybe Jade…"

Jen puffed up her cheeks in frustration, not wanting to actually tell Wally anything. But Wally was the kind to not let things go easily and they both knew that. So might as well get it over with. "I was an orphan. I stole, broke into homes, did whatever I felt like doing until I was finally caught by the headmas… the owner of a special school for gifted children." She paused. Wally looked at her eagerly, waiting for her to continue. "They taught us things… how to be stealthy, how to fight. That sort of thing. I was one of their top students. Elliot and Stefan, they went there too and they were my partners in crime." The glint in her strangely purple eyes scared Wally just a tad bit. He hadn't really expected her to give him a lot of information, just the basics. "We were good, but kept to petty things, until I heard of a… bigger organization. I wanted a part of it, so I drove the others crazy. It was great; it was my life until I met… No, we were captured, set free, and met Jade and Roy. Not wanting to go back to jail, we stopped. End of story." She examined a fingernail. "Now I'd appreciate it if you'd stop asking me questions. I don't want to hear your life story."

The waitress came back and set three delicious pizzas on the table. Wally turned away from Jenny and stared forlornly at the one he'd ordered. It was so small… he'd have to get a few snacks after. Mm. France sounds tasty. Yep, that's the one.

"Hey, Wally!" Roy said waving his hand in front of his friend's face. That snapped him out of trance. "How long are you staying in Jump?" The question caught him off guard. He'd never really thought about it.

"Uh, I don't know. Long enough to say hi to Rich, see when Vic's gonna marry Karen and-"

"You're friends with Victor Stone?!" Stefan yelled, cutting him off. Wally blinked at the genius, who had stood up on the seat, waving a pizza cutter around dangerously. Jenny and Elliot watched him, an amused expression in their faces, while Jade kept right on eating, oblivious to the fact that there was a little kid right next to her with a perilous weapon in hand.

Wally grinned. "You know him?" Yah, it was a dumb question. Of course Stefan knew Victor. They were rivals, enemies. But it was fun seeing the kid all riled up about just mentioning a name.

"Know him?! That crudmuncher's been stealing all my ideas! If he would just give up already and try not to beat me in everything!" Stefan's face was contorted in rage. Wally sat back in his chair, amused. The kid, Jenny's 'little brother', could probably rant on and on about Victor. I'll have to tell Vic about this guy. He'll have a long laugh. Then as quick as the eye could see Jade snatched the cutter out of Stefan's hand (positioning it neatly on the table), placed her hand over his mouth and pulled him to his seat. More slowly, the Asian-girl put her pointer finger to her lips. 'Sh'. Well, if she actually said it. Wally stared in awe as Stefan squirmed out of Jade's grasp and involuntarily shivered. "Freaky… mask… her and Jen… devils themselves…" He laughed at the muttering.

"Some girlfriend you got there, Roy. Bet she could destroy you in a fight." Wally smirked. Roy frowned and Jade smiled, patting Roy's cheek affectionately. He took a bite of pizza.

"Alright, move it. I'm done with my food."Jen said, pulling her legs onto the seat and pushing both Elliot and Wally to the ground. "Meet you all back at home. Not you, hopefully." She sneered at Wally who just grinned broadly back. Why does she hate me? I mean, I haven't done anything to her to make her mad at me… besides bumping into her. And she didn't even hit the ground!

Roy cleared his throat and watched Jen walk out of the parlor. "When you go off to see Vic and Rich are you going to stop by Kori's and Gar's too? Haven't talked to them much myself."

That brought about the pleasant conversation Wally had had with Victor on the phone. "Kori, yes and congratulate her on her engagement to Rich." That received both positive and negative responses at the table, and even a few eavesdroppers on the next tables, who whispered excitedly to each other. Roy punched the air, yelling 'finally' and Stefan grumbled something unintelligible, something rhyming with 'lightens'. "Gar… only if he's gotten with Rachel." Elliot looked at Wally questionably, pondering who these people were.

"Well, what about after?" Roy inquired. "It's been like a year since I've seen you. Really haven't had the time to get with old friends." Wally scratched the back of his neck.

"I guess I could rent an apartment." Roy high-fived him.

"Great. Now we have to put up with him? As if life couldn't get any suckier." Stefan sighed. Maybe that's why. If I had to live with this little runt as a brother…
