Late post, but yeah.

"Rude?" Robin blinked.

"If I tell you guys where the last crystal is will you shut up?"

"You know where the last crystal is?"

"Did you not just hear me, or are you too stupid to comprehend?"

"Definitely Rude."

"Where's the crystal then?"

"My dad's house."

"I thought you or anger didn't know where that was?" Kaldur said.

"Anger doesn't I do." Rude shrugged, "The semantics is too complicated for you to understand."

"Okay so tell us the address-"

"No!" Rude interrupted, "I come with. There's something I've been meaning to check out."

"Wally do you think that's a good idea."

"It'll be fine. Sides there's something I've been meaning to pick up from there."

"Wally..." Robin said only for Rude to glare at him.

"Save the spiel dude. Lets just go."

LINE

The eight of them arrived outside a rundown house and Rude turned to them.

"Look my dad, he ain't a nice man, second no way is he gonna let all of y'all into the house." Rude sighed

"So what do we do?" Roy asked

Rude smiled at him, "Don't worry about me babe. Anyway I'm gonna go in I need to do this by myself."

With those final words Rude walked up the house, lifting up a spare mat and using the key to gain entry into the house.

"Are we just gonna let him go in there alone?" Roy shouted and turned to Robin, "You know what-"

"I know." Robin interrupted, "Five minutes."

Roy calmed down nodding as Conner spoke up, "Five minutes for what?"

"Until we go in after him."

Rude involuntary shivered as he closed the door behind him, he could hear the TV running though his father was no where to be found which meant he was probably at the gas station which meant he had about five minutes before he got back.

Making his decision Rude ran a hand through his hair and headed towards the basement. Maybe just maybe his mother could get the justice he deserved. Screw the crystal if the team wanted it so badly they could come get it themselves.

He looked around the basement, looking for anything, anything at all. He sighed walking around before something caught his eyes. A voice recorder. He grabbed it and turned it on cringing as the screams of his own voice along with his mothers filled the air. The sick bastard's had a perchance for recording them during beatings now it would be his downfall. Stuffing the voice recorder in his shoe he began looking around some more now he just had to find it...

"Should we go in now?" M'gann asked, "It's been a while."

"I know." Robin said, "I'm thinking he got absorbed in the crystal. But I'm pretty sure that's not the case."

Before anyone could move a beat up black station wagon pulled up as a portly man stepped out heading towards the house.

"Is that Wally's dad?" M'gann asked receiving confirmation. "What do we do now?"

Artemis rolled her eyes, "We go in after him obviously."

"No." Roy snapped. "If we go in after him there's no telling what his dad will do."

"Yeah but if we don't go in after him there's no telling what will happen."

Rude blinked spotting something glowing in the corner and went to pick it up with shaking hands. Holding the locket in his hand he opened it as a soft melody began to play staring at the picture of him and his mother fondly. He closed it and shoved it in his sock he wasn't taking any chances.

Racing up back the stairs he wrenched the door open only to come face to face with his father.

"Rudolph."

"Wally how nice of you to visit me!" He grinned yanking his son up and throwing him across the room.

Outside upon hearing the crash that rest of the team ran inside M'gann subduing Rudolph and pinning him to a wall.

"Are you okay?" Robin asked helping him up.

'M'fine. The crystal is in my room though down the hall and to the left."

"What where you doing then?"

Rude smirked, "Getting evidence."

Rudolph glared at him eyes narrowing. "you liytle brat!"

"Found the crystal!" Superboy said coming out the room.

"Good were done here!"

At that moment Malice walked into the room covered in all black causing the rest of them to glance at him in fear.

Malice turned to Rude. "We have him right where we want him why don't we just kill him now."

"Because that would be too easy!" Rude shouted, "I want to make him suffer like he did us!"

Malice glared, "If you won't kill him." He said walking up to Rudolph and taking off his mask. He vibrated his hand grinning at the fear on his father's face. Holding up to his father he began slowly pushing it in his chest relishing in his screams only for Kaldur to touch him with the crystal.

He turned a betrayed look at Kaldur before he was gone forever leaving only Rude.

"M'gann his memories if you will."

"No problem."

"Here." Rude said handing the locket and voice recorder over to Robin, "Give this to me when I'm me again. He'll know what to do."

Rude then sighed, "Anyway I'm done here." he walked over picking up a rightly orange crystal and vanished and the rest of the team watched as the crystal merged with the orb leaving two empty spaces.

"Great, now we just need to find Rage and Lust."

"I am so done with this. Besides aren't the justice league suppose to be looking for Rage."

"Yes and we've got him." Batman said walking in with a bound up Wally, who was vibrating like crazy. "Crystal now!"

Roy threw it and Batman caught it touching Rage with it watching as he vanished. "Are we done now?"

"Not exactly." Kaldur spoke up, "We lost Lust, however once we find him we'll be done."

"See to it that you find him and soon."
