WALLY POV

I woke up with a gasp.

I looked around to see the whole Team here. They all looked at me expectantly. I glanced over to the side and saw Robin's- I mean- Program's body.

"Well?" Tigress questioned. I sighed.

"I got in, though I found out that I can't get Robin back. All his memories and emotions are frozen. The main one is out of reach, and that was our best chance." Zatanna sat into the nearest seat and let her face fall into her hands. Rocket leaned against the wall and stared at her hands. Artemis glared at the wall and Superboy stared at the ground with Megan crying on his shoulder. I looked over to Robi- Program's body. He looked so peaceful. Just laying there. Artemis looked at him too.

"What are we going to do with it, then?" She asked, already walking over to him. I opened my mouth to protest, but my comm. link stopped me.

'Flash to Kid Flash.'

'Kid Flash here. What's up?' I said loud enough to get Artemis's attention.

'Hey kid, we have a problem. Intergalactic. The whole League's gotta go. Tell Zatanna and Raquel they have to zeta to the Watch Tower. Now, cause we're leaving in about three minutes. Bye'

'Wait, what? What intergalactic mission? Why's the whole League going?' Static filled my ear. I let out a sigh before turning to Zatanna and Raquel.

"There's an inter galactic mission the whole League's going into. You guys have to go too." I said. They looked up and nodded before going to the zeta tubes. We sat there for a little without talking.

"What happened in there?" Megan asked. Everyone looked at me and waited for my answer.

I sighed before telling them what happened. I hesitated and thought if I should tell them about the show of emotion.

"What?" Superboy asked when I stopped. I sighed.

"I found out before I left that he does have emotions. Like a kid, actually. He said he isn't going to fight back if we try to take him to jail due to the fact that he was captured. He said whoever was in possession of him got to choose what happened to him." I gulped a little before continuing. "And I... I actually don't want to send him to prison." The others began yelling in protest. Aqualad tried to calm everyone down, but they wouldn't listen. Eventually, Tigress decided to actually ask.

"Why shouldn't we let him go to prison?"

"Because, he still has Robin frozen in there. Whenever I asked for him to let him go, he said that he couldn't. He had regret in his voice, like he wanted to let him go." I said. Blankly, I looked at the small figure. His breathing was slow and casual, like he didn't really care that he had been compromised or that someone was stuck in his mind for him to stare at. No, no he didn't care.

Aqualad sighed and shook his head. "Wally, even if he wants to release Robin, he still has a criminal record. We have to imprison him." I was quiet for another minute. An idea formed in my head.

"What if we put him in house arrest?"

The team groaned. "Wally, what good would that do?" Artemis sighed.

"Well, it might give us time to figure out how to wake him up."

"Oh please, you just feel like messing with the kid's head."

"No!"

"Shut up." They all looked to the glaring Program. He had his mouth in a straight line with a bat glare. Even if it was a different mind, he still ad the same annoyed face.

The team was a bit quiet, not really knowing how to respond, until he rolled his eyes and held out his wrists.

"What?" I questioned. He rolled his eyes.

"Imprisonment?" Artemis threw her hands up into the air.

"See? He even wants imprisonment!" I sighed and stood.

"We'll just keep him in that room. You know? The one that opens when one of our voice says to." They all looked at him warily, but Kaldur broke.

"Fine, Wally." I smiled and scooped the boy up, and in a second, we were at the door. His mouth was pointing down a bit and he looked bored.

"Uh, you'll stay here, I guess." He glanced up at me. I opened the door and he walked in, sat down, and took off his shirt. Not knowing what to do, I sat by him on the bed.

"What did you do while you were there?"

"Train." He didn't even look up.

"Did they give you a name?"

"Program."

"What about a real name?"

"Program is a real name."

"No it isn't."

"Yes it is." He didn't even sound slightly annoyed.

"What about Derek?"

"What?" He actually looked up.

"Derek, It's a greek root for 'Ruler"

"But I'm a program."

"Really? You're pulling the 'I'm a program' thing again?"

"Tt"

"What?"

"Nothing."

We sat in silence for a bit before he muttered. "Fine." And laid in his bed.
I was slightly confused on the lack of hate I had to the boy. It was impossible, hating someone with his eyes and his hair. Albeit stolen, but still. And he didn't have his life stolen from him, he was just... deprived. Deprived of a childhood. Not his fault.

And maybe.

Just maybe.

He could wake up Robin.

I stood and covered Pr- Derek with a blanket and walked out. I met Tigress leaning against the wall, her head pointed at me.

"Why do you trust him?"

"He's just a kid."

"A kid who took his body.

"He was forced into it."

"He might be a spy."

"Roy, Bats, and practically the whole League said the same thing about you and Superboy."

"..."

"Maybe we can wake him up, Arty. We might be able to see Rob again."

She looked up at me, her eyes like they were when we were kids. Not when we fought, but when we were together.

God, I miss those eyes.

"Fine, but don't expect me to pamper him." With that, she walked away.

I sighed and walked back to my room. Can't get close to the little kid, he might not stay. I went into my room and looked at a picture of me and Dick. He had a band aid on his cheek and was smiling. I stood next to him with a broken arm. Still don't understand how he only got a scratch from falling from fifty feet off a tree and I got a broken arm from five.

I closed my eyes and and began to remember the events that caused injuries until the video turned into a dream. A dream where everyone was sitting on the beach and not really caring about anything. I let that dream play until I fell into a deeper, darker sleep.


Okay, so I figured out a plot, but I need you guys to vote: In the end, should Dick or Derek be in control of his mind? And should Bats come back to this? Finally, who should and who shouldn't like Derek?

Thanks
