Chapter Four
Before Robin could even think on his actions he found his fist slamming into Roy's jaw.
"You asshole! How could you do that! It was supposed to be me! Not him!" Robin screamed at Roy as the older boy stood fast against the surprising strength of the hit to his face.
Roy clenched his jaw as he looked over to the younger. "I had to, Robin. If you had gone in like originally planned they would have eaten you alive."He said, his voice taking on a calmer tone then he usually had. He didn't need to fight right now, what was done was done, and the mission was going along perfectly.
"Think about it Robin." Roy stopped the other before he could speak up to yell at him again. "Wally has that 'it' factor. That thing inside of him that only he has. The thing that makes people trust him, what makes people want to be around that stupid grin he's always wearing." He clarified, Robin calmed a bit at this line of thought.
"But, couldn't we have at least told him that we were going to send him in instead of me?" Robin asked. He could only imagine the hurt his best friend might have been feeling at that moment, thinking that he had really been disowned by Roy and the others, for being a traitor.
"No." Batman's deep voice resounded through the Gotham alley way were the other two had reunited after the commotion from earlier that night. The dark figure swopped down from the roof above and joined Roy and Robin where they stood talking. "Wally truly and utterly believes that we have disowned him, he has no memory in his mind telling him that this is the plan. We hadn't even told him of the plan to send in Robin, because we had been planning this course of action from the beginning."He paused for a moment. "So now, if any of the telepaths belonging to the JL decide to take a peek into his memories, they will find no such plan. Thus they will begin to trust the idea that he has been abandoned and has no further connections leading to us."
"Their eventual trust in Wally will be their downfall. We just planted a mole who doesn't even know they are a mole..."Robin mumbled slowly. It was a harsh way to do things, but things had always been harsh on the mysterious team of dark heroes. He knew that when the time came, Wally would realize what they had been planning all along. He was smarter then he looked.
Wally sunk down deeper into the couch cushions. He wished they would just swallow him whole right on the spot.
The young speedster was sitting on the couch located in the commons area of Mount Justice, he had several eyes on him as he sat there, looking like a kicked puppy. Those eyes belonged to none other then, the entire Young Justice team, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Superman, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman and Red Tornado. They all looked at him differently, some had what looked like pity in their eyes, others held confusion or distrust. But whatever they held in them, Wally wasn't looking. He stared at the floor between his feet, his hands twisted over one another in a nervous manor.
"He's telling the truth, Speedy's, or Red Arrow's actions were spontaneous, not planned out. His mind holds no plans of such a thing, or of another telepath that could have suppressed said memories from himself and from me." Jon finally broke the silence after he had taken a look into the ginger's mind.
"Well...What do we do with him? We can't just let him run wild out in the streets..."Green Arrow said as he crossed his arms, thinking deeply to himself.
"Whats your name? Do you have anyone to go to?"Black Canary stepped forward and sat next to the young speedster, resting a hand on his shoulder, her motherly instincts taking hold.
"Wally West, or Kid Flash...No, I don't have anyone, my Uncle Barry was the one who took care of me, I doubt my parents would ever want to see me again after I joined him and the others." He said slowly while shaking his head.
The mention of his Uncle Barry drew the attention of the Leaguers in the room. "Barry? Wait, Kid Flash...Your Uncle, is he the Flash?"Superman asked curiously.
Wally nodded slowly, the adults all passed a glance at each other. None of them had thought about the fallen super in years. The Flash had once been a founding member of the league, but everything had gone sour on a bad mission. Flash and a few others had been sent to destroy a lab facility holding dangerous creatures that would soon be released to rain destruction on the world. They planted the bombs on the inside and the out, Flash zipping around the inside planting, while he was still inside another member of the small team of League heroes had accidentally set off the bombs.
They all thought that Barry had been killed, but amazingly a large piece of rock had fallen from the building and ended up not only pinning him down, but also shielding him from the majority of the blasts. When the speedster had managed to remove himself from the rubble he found that the others on his team had left him there. He was sure that they had planned to snuff him out or something along those lines. That was the day he threw down his league place and disappeared off the map. And now suddenly he was on the map again, indirectly through his nephew who sat right in front of them.
"If it would not be to much trouble he could stay here, as part of Young Justice..."Kaldur said as he looked to the concerned looking adults. "We could further watch him and make sure he truly is not just trying to get in the league and dig up old bones." He added quickly.
"That might not be to bad of an idea, this way we can also make sure the kid does not stir up more trouble on the streets. Plus it will give him a place to stay..."Aquaman agreed, he looked to Superman for his suggestion.
"Alright...Wally will stay here, but he will not attend any mission with the team until we are certain that he is telling us the truth and we can trust him."Superman said with a stoney gaze at the ex-associate of Red Arrow.
With that the adults disappeared through the zeta beams to the watch tower, to confer on what all had happened.
Wally looked up slowly to see all of them staring at him as if expecting him to a back flip and blow them all to smithereens. He was about to question them when his stomach growled loudly, grabbing everyone's attention. He laughed nervously. "Sorry, I guess I was hungrier then I thought." This seemed to break the thick ice they had been surrounded in.
"Good thing I made those cookies before we left!" Megan said happily as she flew quickly to the kitchen. With the promise of food on the brain he stood and flashed into the kitchen, arriving before the martian.
Megan giggled and levitated the tray of untouched cookies over to him. He eagerly began to eat them. Soon the rest of the team had gathered around them, watching the kid eat like it was the first time he had eaten in weeks.
"Jeez, did they not feed you?" Artemis asked, a grossed out look on her face.
"Oh, no its not that, I just eat a lot, metabolism and all that speedster jazz, I burn up a lot of energy and the only way to recharge is to eat so my body can make more." He said as he finished all the cookies.
"Well, its gross, so can you not just slow down?" the blonde asked, the sight of the ginger was enough to irritate her.
"Slow down? I rely on my speed twenty four seven, why in the world would I even want to think about slowing down? Why don't you try to stop shooting arrows, its gross." He said as he challenged her.
"Gross! Oh, your one to talk, pig!" She growled as she accepted his challenge.
"Pig? Is that the best you got? I always heard blondes were stupid I guess you just provided me with the proof of the statement." He sneered.
They both broke out in a full on screaming match, Superboy's eye twitched, he already didn't trust the speedster, he didn't need him irritating him even further.
Little did he know his dream that the speedster would simply leave would be granted sooner then he thought it would be. But with Kid Flash's leaving, a storm would take his place.
C:
I feel good about this chapter, yet not good. I feel good because I got someone stuff explained out, but not good because I feel like it was kind of a filler...
Oh well!
Ugh, finally I remembered to put in the page break, I keep forgetting that!
