Come Back to Me
(by: David Cook)

So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

Take your time I won't go anywhere
Picture you with the wind in your hair
I'll keep your things right where you left them
I'll be here for you


M'gann did not speak to Artemis since the day of their fight and Superboy, following her example, had stopped any interactions with her too. Aqualad had been trying to understand what was going on, his team had fallen apart without him even realizing.

The worse one was Wally, the boy looked so sad all day long, Kaldur was worried it could turn into one of those deep depressions where people refused to leave their beds. The speedster did not even want to eat, he never laughed anymore and he would get lost staring into space for hours. Kaldur knew that all of his team's problems came from one source: Robin. The acrobat had not been at Mount Justice for almost two months now, not since Wally had injured his leg.

Kaldur was not dumb, he could see that the speedster and the raven haired had been a couple. He had never known for sure since the couple did not display their relationship and they had not officially announced it, but he could see the lingering gazes and the way they would worry for one another. The fact that Wally was so sad now that Robin was absent only convinced him more that they were in love…and something had gone wrong.

He wished he could do something to make it better, he knew what a broken heart felt like and he would never wish that pain on Wally. However he could not get involved with any of it, he had to remain impartial as a leader, even if he desperately wanted to ask what Artemis had done. It was obvious the girl had done something to ruin everything, if not M'gann wouldn't be angry towards her and so sympathetic towards Wally.

So far they had not gotten any missions where they had to take the archer and the Martian together. Kaldur did not want any accidents so he could not take her and M'gann to the same missions, they could get into another argument or the lack of communication between them could cause a catastrophe.

Kaldur was taken away from his musings when Batman walked into the cave. They all gathered in the briefing room for the man to give them their mission, none of them looking too excited.

Fortunately Artemis and M'gann seemed to put their fight on the side, if only for the mission. Aqualad was extremely thankful for that, the two girls still had some tension between them but when they both stood and made their way to the briefing room, M'gann gave a nod on Artemis' direction, the archer returning it a minute later. Kaldur gave a sigh of relief when he saw the small gesture. Wally had not looked at either as he walked, but Aqualad knew he was more sad than angry and he did not seem on the verge of attacking Artemis like M'gann did. The Atlantean knew Wally would not pick a fight, he was sad and heartbroken he was probably less angry at the cause and more sad about the consequences.


From the moment Batman mentioned Robin would be waiting for them at the border of Gotham, Wally stopped paying attention to anything that didn't involve his ex-boyfriend. As they flew on the bio ship Wally tried to control his nerves, taking deep breaths and hoping he would be able to hold it together when he saw Dick.

He had been training his mind not to go into override when he finally saw Dick. He knew they were over and he may still be in love with the boy but he was learning to control it, now they were only teammates and hopefully friends. When he saw Dick he had to hide the adoration for the boy and just show friendship.

They would meet Robin at a forest near the borders of Gotham. The forest stretched over big mountains and many rivers. They were supposed to check out one of the mountains looking for some kind of secret lab inside or something. Wally hadn't really been listening since Batman finished the sentence that had Dick's name on it. He had gotten lost in the idea of Dick's beautiful eyes and wondering if Dick would smile for him at least once or if he was still angry at the red head. He would just follow Aqualad's instructions once he gave them.

They walked out of the ship before M'gann put her into camouflage mode. As soon as they were hidden by the vegetation Robin came out of the shadows. He walked towards them and Wally felt his heart speed up.

No, no, no, no stop it you stupid heart! Wally tried to slow down his heart and to stop his nerves. He had to move on, he couldn't be getting so flustered over just seeing Dick. The team greeted the younger boy and he began to explain to Kaldur what he had seen at the final hours of surveillance. M'gann looked at him, obviously noticing his distress since she gave him a sympathetic smile.

Slow down! His heart didn't seem to understand him and just kept on trying to convince Wally to get closer to the acrobat. It clenched painfully when Wally took a step back. He's not ours anymore.

Dick gave Wally a glance but quickly looked away. Wally took in deep breaths as his team talked about possible reasons as to why there were henchmen patrolling the territory surrounding the mountain.

Wally felt like running back to central city and hiding in his room, but he steeled himself and pushed past it. He walked closer to Dick and gave him a small smile as Kaldur looked into the map that Dick had projected from his gauntlet, the acrobat looked at him for a moment before smiling back. Wally felt his heart skip a beat and realized he was in deep trouble. No matter how hard he'd been trying to forget about the younger boy one glance at him and Wally would be back to being completely in love. He had really though he would be able to give up on Dick but apparently his plan of letting Dick go wasn't working so well.

Finally Aqualad started giving instructions for the mission. Robin, M'gann and Wally would go inside and recovers some information about the activities inside the mountain, meaning they would have to hack computers, steal information and see who was the boss of the operation. The rest of the team would check if there were any shipment or any kind of hidden routes they took so to could trade any materials or weapons.

While they went inside Wally couldn't take his eyes off Robin, they had managed to sneak in through small air vents. As soon as they met inside the lab Wally lost focus again, he kept glancing at the acrobat as they made their way across hallways and searched for the main computer lab.

He wanted to ask how Dick had met Ethan, he wanted to know how exactly the boy had managed to make Dick fall for him and mostly Wally wanted to know if Dick still loved him, even if it was just a little bit. A little bit of fondness from Dick, towards him would be give him so much hope. It would give him enough reasons to wait for Dick to fall in love with him again, it would give his heart the strength to keep beating.

He stayed behind as Dick made his way forward and started hacking the machine. He was sent more as a bodyguard for the boy, if there was some kind of chemical or some big operation that needed extra attention he would be of use but for now he was supposed to check Robin's back and be ready if someone attacked them. However, Wally was doing a terrible job; he was staring at Robin instead of checking surroundings or checking for any possible threat.

Dick started copying all the information in the computers into some flash drives. He had made sure that the information had no viruses and was now just copying everything so that the Justice League could take a closer look later.

"KF?" Wally gave a start at the sound of his nickname, he rushed forward when he realized Dick was actually talking to him. When he noticed he had the speedster's attention Dick continued. "Alf said you came to visit last week." Wally only nodded, he didn't want Dick to know he had laid next to him and watched him sleep, the younger boy would think he was such a creep. "I'm sorry I wasn't awake…and that I behaved so crazy that day."

"You didn't act crazy at all Rob, you were upset, and you had every reason to be. You weren't unreasonable or…I don't know, but you weren't crazy." Wally was stuttering and he didn't know how to form his words, he felt like such an inarticulate bump. Dick chuckled and Wally stopped his rambling.

"I'm glad you're not mad." Dick gave him a small insecure smile.

"I have nothing to be mad about. Actually I should be apologizing, I hurt you and…I mean your wrist seemed pretty bad." Wally shifted, the guilt still too present.

"It wasn't anything serious." Dick looked away, checking the copying of information from the computers briefly before looking back at Wally. "Are we okay, KF?"

The redhead looked at Dick for a second, he didn't think the acrobat would forgive him so easily, he still couldn't forgive himself, he had hurt Dick, that was the worst sin he could imagine. Still, he knew Dick was the sweetest and most forgiving person he met so he just smiled. "We're great."

He wanted to embrace the boy, to tell him how happy he was that they were talking again. But he contained himself, their friendship was just rebuilding itself, it would be too hasty. Suddenly Dick's arms were around him as the boy hugged him tightly. Wally reacted fast and wrapped his own arms around the thin body of his ex-boyfriend. He was glad Dick took that step, he was too scared to do it himself.

Dick tried to step away but Wally didn't want to finish the hug before he actually wanted to let go a lot so he just stayed with his arms around the acrobat. " ...Kid Flash? I think we already copied all the info, we can leave now…"

"Uh, sorry I got carried away…" He wished he could stay so close to the acrobat for a while longer but he knew he was being foolish thinking they would just stay there hugging forever.

Wally stepped away awkwardly, not knowing how to keep from looking creepy while staying as close to him as he could. Robin collected his flash drives while checking the cameras for any henchmen close to them that they would have to avoid while getting out.

"I'm really not dating Artemis you know?" Wally knew he could ruin everything but he had to tell Dick, he wanted the boy to be fully informed just in case he started loving Wally again. If Dick knew Wally was single he may even consider dating the speedster again, or at least having a crush on him.

Dick only tensed, pausing his movement before taking a deep breath and turning towards Wally again. "Let's just not talk about that again?"

"I'm sorry, I just wanted you to know." Wally felt a little disappointed that Dick didn't smile or react in any way that suggested he still loved the speedster. He would let it go though, he'd have to be happy with what he got now, he would have to pretend he was fine with being just a friend, with not being special to Dick.

"Let's go." They managed to get out of the forest undetected, fortunately for them the lab didn't have a very good security system, the complex was focused mostly just on creating weapons and perfecting poisons.

They were so hidden they didn't worry about anyone finding them. However, because of this they hadn't been able to stop the team from stealing their data and technology. Now the team would let the League handle this, after all everything in there was still experimental, they weren't trading stuff yet.

Wally knew he was lucky they didn't have much trouble, he had been so distracted he wouldn't have noticed if a bullet literally hit him. He would have to focus more on his duties as Kid Flash and less on the boy he was in love with, it could be very dangerous to be so careless on missions.


Wally sat at his room on Mount Justice again and contrary to popular belief he wasn't sulking; he was actually just laying in his bed, his arms behind his head and a big smile on his face. He would giggle once in a while just remembering Dick. He knew he probably looked like a lovesick girl, so he had locked himself in his room to be happy alone, he didn't want Aqualad taking him to Arkham for smiling like the Joker.

They had dropped Robin off at Gotham city, since Batman had demanded his presence for a mission, but before Dick left he glanced at Wally and sent him a smile. A smile just for him, just for Wally to enjoy it. He had given a wave to the team, and a small quirk on his lips, but the affectionate smile had been just for Wally, he had turned towards the redhead and smiled with real happiness.

Wally had felt his heart swell when he saw the boy smiling at him. Smiles like that had become rare, they barely even looked at each other anymore so Wally would count this as the best thing that happened to him in the whole month. It may sound pathetic but he didn't care, he had been afraid that Dick wouldn't even be his friend anymore but they were building up their friendship already. It wouldn't be long before they would see each other more often and then Wally wouldn't feel so empty all the time.

He would just have to wait for Dick to realize they were meant for each other. Wally was sure that they were soul mates, they had been temporarily separated but they would be together again, at least he hoped they will. Dick just had to get a little distance from him and soon he would realize how everything was better when they were together.

For now though, Wally had to surrender his little bird to Ethan. He had to let the blonde stay with Dick since it was the acrobat's choice, it was what Dick wanted. The speedster knew he couldn't make a move while Dick was already dating someone, he wasn't that kind of guy. Wally may hate the thought, but he had to wait for the blue eyed boy to want him back, he couldn't just claim Dick as his, he had to wait for the younger hero to fall in love with him again. He'd keep close enough to watch over Dick and pick up that self-esteem that had already destroyed the boy once. He'd make sure that Dick understood how special he was.

Wally had to believe that Dick would find his way back to him. It hadn't been a just a teenage crush, Wally knew that their relationship was based on way more than that, they loved each other, love always won right? Wally would hold onto that hope for as long as he had to, he couldn't let go of that, it would kill him to truly accept that Dick was gone, he had tried but he wasn't able to shake his love for Dick away. He'd keep his distance for now, until Dick said it was okay to get close and then…then Wally would be happy again.

So for now Wally would giggle like an idiot just remembering that small smile Dick had given him. He would dream about the boy until he could see him again and hopefully next time there would be shining blue eyes to go along that smile.


A/N: Okay a way faster update than the ones I've been giving you so yay! for that xP

Anyway, less sad than the last one right? Even if you see Wally struggle a lot...

I really hope you liked it :D

Also, do you guys want me to add the whole Dick-meets-Ethan-flashback or not? I have it planned, it's fairly short so don't expect something big, but I'll only add it if you guys want it, do you? or do you think it's unnecessary?

anyway, tell me your opinion if you can :P
