As Friendly As They Get Chapter 4: Mr Left and Miss Deputy, a young justice fanfic

A/N

Hehe, couldn't resist ;) As it is now, I'm overdue on doing some homework, but that can wait. I really needed to get this down! Hope ya'll like!

To actresspdx, actionfactionfictionfan, and arrowflash, thanks for reviewing! I really hope ya'll enjoy this chapter! I promise to try and update more often, but feel free to bug me if I don't!

Wally is a part of the League of Shadows and anonymously feeds the Justice League information he manages to hack and slip out. Cheshire is his partner in crime, and they attempt to take down the Shadow's, risking their lives in the process. Both are resigned to the fact that they'll be stuck in this limbo of sides the rest of their lives until Artemis, Jade's sister, is captured. And Wally will do anything to keep her safe. Isn't that what boyfriends were for?

Summary: Split-Personality Complex, they said. It didn't really matter, he reasoned, because he was going to die anyway. He let loose an insane laugh, doubling over with hysterics and tears. He never expected to live long, anyway.

He still wished he could clear his name.

Chapter 4

Mr. Left and Miss. Deputy

Catalyst dodged another angry fist, laughing slightly at the angry archer's persistence. He could go like this for hours and still relish their little game of cat and mouse. Cheshire seemed to be enjoying the same pastime over with Red Arrow (inwardly, Wally crinkled his nose at her taste in men, but whatever). It seemed GA was out for the count, so Catalyst and Jade were enjoying their time with their two favorite archers before the covert ops Young Justice team arrived.

"The itty-bitty archer climbed up the Star tower," he hummed, laughing as Tigress shot an exploding arrow at the spot he'd been occupying only moments before. Ohhhh, she was taking out the big guns. He wondered how'd he'd managed to piss her off. Then again, the line of burning buildings could count for something, or maybe it was because he'd insulted her hair. She seemed very protective of the long locks, probably some vain girl thing.

Her leg flew up as she attempted to knock him out, but he easily blocked it and flipped her over. Impressivly, she landed in a crouch and was on him again in seconds. He was forced to bring his forearms up in defense as a barrage of fists continually hit towards his face. He sped back a few steps, just managing to deflect a blow towards his chest. He was definitely grinning manically now, but he didn't really care because someone with skills was actually fighting him. Tigress rolled over again, bringing her bow up in the same movement to fire three arrows at him. Catalyst laughed, calmly picking each out of the air. He was only marginally taken off guard as she grinned at him. He looked at the arrows in confusion, brows furrowed until eyes hidden behind goggles widened.

They exploded, and Wally yelled in pain as it burnt his hands and arms. Thankfully, he scowled at the sneering girl, his armor had taken most of the blast, but it freaking hurt. All the barriers around his mind shattered and he sped towards her aggressively, taunting her, watching as her expression got darker with each moment.

"Really," he laughed, "what's so special about you heroes?" Another kick to the chest, an out of breath grunt. "You always seem to end up disappearing, getting injured, losing; honestly, what are your reasons for doing this?" He bit back a yell; she bit back a scream. Another bomb exploded. "There's only two of us, you see, Cheshire and I. We only have each other and yet always win against a group of heroes. Take for example, Kid Flash." She froze, he punched, she dodged, he laughed.

Her demeanor had changed once again, to something black, something darker. "What are you talking about. What did you DO TO HIM?!" She screamed, punches becoming harder, more ferocious. He snickered. (She was a mirror image to that day in the past; the horrible one where he screamed and cried for hours and hours).

"Oh, it was easy," Catalyst laughed, taking a quick bite out of an energy bar before continuing on. She snarled at him. "Kid was so slow he didn't realize what had happened until it was too late, and well," he shrugged, "he wasn't too hard to kill."

Her eyes widened, her body quivered, tears forming. A bated breath was sucked in. Because today was the day, and Artemis, Tigress, was about to scream.

Tigress yelled a war cry and slammed her body into his, momentarily stunning him. Not that it really mattered, time around him was like jelly, so he calmly picked himself up and began running again as her body continued to fall in slow motion with tears in her eyes (he tried to ignore how much her expression reminded him of Linda's as she fellfellfell).

Cheshire was kissing Red Arrow, again, and he felt the presence of a mental hum. Martian girl, then. Sighing because the fun was over, he calmly picked up the money and explosives Joker was dying to try out. He tapped Cheshire on the shoulder, and she flipped in the air, leaving her victim breathless and landing on Catalyst's back with practiced ease. A wink at Tigress (her glare was almost as explosive as these bombs) and a short wave to Young Justice and Catalyst sped away.

It wouldn't do to be late to the Shadow's meeting.

In Central City, Barry Allen, aka the Flash, cried silently over a small picture of a grinning red haired kid. He was only eight years old, toothy grin and sparkling eyes displaying an innocence he'd never be able to grow out of.

Today was the anniversary. The day of Kid Flash's, Wally West's, death.

Wally grinned at Cheshire, who rolled her eyes and smacked his arm again. They were standing towards the back of the Shadow's meeting (in the Shadows), listening to various villains give reports on victories, loot, heroes to avoid, damage done, etc. Catalyst was bored. And being bored did not fit into his agenda (which also did not exist). The dark room was illuminated only by a computer and projector (retro much?), filled to the brim with villains from all over; even Queen Bee had made an appearance.

He glanced around the room, taking in the criminals scattered in small troops of trusted associates. Sensei, talking a lot, Sportsmaster, glaring at him again, Joker, urgh plain creepy, and-

-oooh, there he was.

Icicle Jr. glared at him from another corner, tossing a frost snow ball menacingly. The two had crossed paths often and developed a mutual dislike of one another, Catalyst because his fast speed always made him warm and Icicle Jr. because of his constant cold and avoidance of heat. At least at first. Then there had been those missions, but who really counted that?

He smirked. Icicle Jr. snarled.

Cheshire pinched his arm again and he turned back to the front. Blah blah blah, something about a new venom formula, teen heroes, kidnapping, the usual...

...wait. Teen heroes?-

-the glass exploded.

A/N

Soooo, what'd you think? I decided to add the Barry thing in because I want to add his interactions with Wally in. He's basically a second father to him, and I can see him living with Barry and Iris later in the story.

...maybe at the end.

Sorry it's so short! I haven't updated in around a week/2 weeks, so I wanted to get something out there. I promise the next one will be longer!

Did the chapter title confuse anyone? I was thinking along the lines of Wally is left, because we usually think of left as wrong, and Artemis (Tigress) is basically a deputy (to Green Arrow).

R&R!

Kisses!
