M'gann was hovering outside Mount Justice when Kid Flash raced past her. She didn't have to see his face to know that all of the day's efforts had been for nothing. Kaldur called after him but he either didn't hear or just didn't care.

"You should talk to Superboy and try to work things out." he said.

"What?" confused, M'gann stopped hovering.

"I just meant that maybe if you talk to Superboy then at least one of them will be not so miserable?" Kaldur covered his mistake quickly. He had promised not to tell after all.

The two of them walked into Mount Justice and their entry was announced. Then, everything was dead silence. It was kind of unnerving even for Aqualad. He hoped that things weren't even worse than he originally thought.

Suddenly M'gann rushed forward, "Superboy!"

Superboy didn't end up leaving the floor let alone Mount Justice. He remained slumped on the floor with his head down. Robin wasn't sure but he might've been crying. He stood there awkwardly, not really knowing how to comfort the guy.

The arrival of Miss Martian and Aqualad was announced. Robin didn't even have time to say hello before Megan started to panic. He adjusted the sunglasses on his face and tried to decide if his team mates really needed to know the truth.

"I thought you weren't letting them go until things worked out but we saw Kid Flash outside. What happened?" Kaldur asked.

"I need to talk to you somewhere else." Robin responded, "Superboy's okay; he's just depressed."

The two of them headed out the back door. Robin wanted to get outside and besides, there would be less chance of Megan overhearing.

"I'm guessing the intervention didn't-" Kaldur said.

"It's the lieth." Robin interrupted, "What I told you was the problem actually wasn't and Wally is an even bigger idiot than I thought. They aren't fighting over Megan. He did something really stupid and I don't know if he's just in denial or if he's an asshole but now Superboy is depressed and I am only thirteen! This is one of the very few things Batman didn't prepare me for!"

"Lieth?" Kaldur questioned.

"Uh yeah. If something is true it's the truth so since I lied, it's the lieth right?" Robin wasn't sure Kaldur got the point.

"I'm not sure I know what's going on."

When he finally stood up, Superboy's face was damp with tears. He ignored M'gann and started towards his room. He wanted to get his mind off Wally but didn't know what to do. Maybe he could just sleep it off.

"Wait!" M'gann flew after him, "I need to tell you something!"

Superboy turned around and stood his doorway. The martian in front of him blushed. She wasn't sure if this was the right time to admitt her feelings. Was it okay on Earth to confess a crush when the person is very obviously upset?

She decided to not care what was socially acceptable, 'Uhm, I really like you.'

Even though she didn't say a word, Superboy heard her loud and clear. He didn't really like it when M'gann did that but he was getting used to it. He forced a smile.

"I'm gay."

Kid Flash was running. He stopped into a store to get some food and then kept running. He couldn't believe everything that had happened. Robin, his best friend ever, just yelled at him for something that wasn't even his fault!

Not to mention Supey who stupidly told him about the kiss in the first place. At least he didn't explain the whole damn situation or anything. No, it was stupid anyways. He promised not to tell. Kid Flash ran faster and faster.

-x-

"Heh. Well...Superboy doesn't like Megan. Wally might. I'm not sure though." Robin said slowly, trying not to get ahead of himself while explaining the truth to Kaldur.

"So if Superboy and Wally aren't fighting over Megan than what's the problem?" he asked, still confused, "And why did you lie to me?"

"Superboy likes Wally." Robin stated.

"So then why are they...oh!" Kaldur clued in before he could finish his sentence.

Robin giggled nervously. He wasn't sure what their team leader's reaction would be but figured it couldn't be as bad as everything else happening. He watched as Aqualad's eyes widened in horror. He seemed to be really nervous and...guilty?

"What is it?" Robin asked, "Please tell me you aren't homophobic too. I think Supey gets enough of that from Wally."

"No that's not it." Kaldur shook his head, "I might've encouraged M'gann to tell Superboy how she feels about him. It was because I thought he liked her in that way as well."

-x-

After running around the world a few times, Kid Flash finally collapsed. He was mentally exhausted from all the thinking he'd done at superspeed while also running as fast as he could. He thought about all the things Superboy had said and done since they met. Every little thing seemed to flash in his mind over and over.

He also replayed his recent argument with Robin. They'd been in fights before but nothing that bad. He didn't even know the kid knew half the words yelled at him and certainly never expected him to use them towards him. They were best friends.

-x-

"Hello, Megan!" the catchphrase could be heard from down the hall, "That actually explains so much...uhm, sorry."

She was upset and trying very hard to hide it. She had liked Superboy since the first day they met. She had been too afraid to say anything until Aqualad had encouraged her to. Now, she wished she had stuck with her awkward blushing and gazing at him wordlessly plan.

"I like Wally." Superboy sighed, "Or at least I did until...he lied to me."

His blue eyes instantly filled with tears again. He turned away from the martian to go into his room. Megan watched him go, wishing she knew a way to make things better.

Behind her, Aqualad stood in the hall with Robin. They had rushed back inside in hope that they would be able to get there before Miss Martian admitted her feelings. Now that they knew it was too late, both boys realized it was for the best. She had to find out from Superboy himself.

"I'm sorry, M'gann." Aqualad said.

Not knowing what to say, Megan just hugged him. It was only a friendly hug, the two of them more like siblings than anything else, but it was just what she needed. They stopped when they heard laughter in the distance but by the time they looked around, Robin was nowhere to be found.
