Recognized Robin

"Bout time he got here," Conner muttered.

"Hey, he's a very busy kid," Wally defended the boy wonder.

"Do not be so hard on him Superboy; he probably does have a lot going on in his life," Kaldur instructed.

"Hey guys," Robin greeted nervously.

"Where have you been for the past week Robin?" M'gann asked, floating over to him. "You haven't come here except for missions."

"Sorry Miss M, I've been really busy," Robin told her, scratching the back of his neck.

"Well it's great that you could find time to come and visit," M'gann smiled.

"Yeah…I'm…I'm glad I found the time," Robin nodded. He walked over to Wally and grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him off the couch.

"Hey! Whoa! Rob! What's the problem?" Wally shouted as they left the living room. Robin let go of his shirt and turned around to face the redhead, his cheeks slightly pink.

"I need to speak to you in private," he explained shortly.

"Well then let's go to my room," Wally told him, leading the smaller boy there.


"So what do you need to talk to me about?" Wally asked, sitting at his desk.

"Um…a few days ago…shortly after your last encounter with him…I ran into Tomcat," Robin said. "More like he found me."

"Did he hurt you?" Wally asked.

"No I'm fine…more or less," Robin muttered. "I'm fine physically, but my mental state…is a little fuzzy and unstable."

"Rob, what did he do?" Wally asked. He stood up and walked over to his best friend, placing his hands on the younger boy's shoulders. Robin's cheeks became bright red and he wrung his hands nervously.

"He didn't do anything to me," Robin told the speedster. "More like he gave me something." Robin reached into his pocket and took out a flash drive. "He said that there was some information I'd be interested in hearing, so he told me to watch the file on this thing. Of course, I was a bit skeptical, because, hello, bad guy! But I finally broke down and went to the park to use one of my crappier laptops. You know, just in case it was like a tracker and would track my laptop's address and find the Batcave, or it had a virus on it and I didn't want to ruin one of my good laptops, but yeah…rambling now." Robin bit his lip and shook his head. He held out the flash drive. "I think you should see what's on it too."

"Are you sure?" Wally asked, taking the small storage device.

"Yeah, but um…make sure you use headphones," Robin told him, his cheeks growing brighter. Wally took the flash drive and plugged it into his computer. "Watch it all the way through. Because there is actually some really interesting stuff on that thing." Wally sat down at his desk and plugged his headphones in. Robin stood awkwardly and sat down on Wally's bed nervously. He heard Wally gasp lightly and smirked inwardly. He glanced over at the redhead to see he was watching a video of Tomcat and Kid Flash making out. It was of a first person point of view from Tomcat's collar. He knew which part of the video he was on too. The part where Tomcat had undone his suit. That was the first case. The first time Wally had moaned his name was when Tomcat had licked his neck. He watched in hidden satisfaction as the color drained from Wally's face. The video cut forward to a few minutes later. The camera was shaking slightly and Wally watched as his face came into view, resting on Tomcat's shoulders. He saw his mouth move and his jaw dropped in horror. The movement stopped and the video cut to black. Wally sat in his chair for a few moments, breathing heavily. Robin turned away from him quickly, and began picking at the blanket on his bed in mock nervousness. He heard Wally close his laptop. He turned back to face him, looking at the blushing redhead.

"So…" Robin muttered, looking at the ground. "Something you want to tell me?"

"What else is there to say?" Wally muttered turning to face his laptop again. He rubbed his face and groaned in dread. "What the hell is wrong with me?" Robin looked at Wally in confusion but decided not to interrupt him. "God damnit. I'm straight and yet I've fallen for my best male friend and I didn't even know it until Tomcat pointed it out. God I just don't know what's wrong with me anymore."

"What makes you think there's something wrong?" Robin asked.

"Because I'm straight!" Wally shouted. "But yet I've kissed a guy more times in the past few weeks than I've kissed girls in the past few months! And then damnit you're my best friend and you're like my little brother! I shouldn't have feelings for you!"

"Well you do," Robin told him. "I mean if moaning my name, twice I might add, while you're making out with a guy means anything, then you're gay. And you have feelings for me."

"No! I don't! I can't!" Wally told him. "Dude, I've known you since you were nine and wore those scaly underwear things to fight crime! I hang out with you and a near daily basis! We're best bros! And we-mmph!" He was cut off as Robin's lips pressed against his. Robin gripped Wally's sleeves and tried to bring them closer together. He leaned into him, his eyes closed and his lips pressed hard against the redhead's. Wally placed his hands on Robin's waist and gently pushed him back.

"Just forget it," Robin shook his head and pushed himself off of Wally, quickly leaving the room. Wally slowly turned around in his chair, looking at his laptop.

"Damn it, Tomcat, why did you have to tell him?" Wally growled.


The door to Robin's room closed behind him. Robin tore his glasses off his face and threw them in a random direction. He growled and quickly punched his wall, cracking it. "Damn it, damn it, damn it!" he shouted, punching his wall repeatedly. "Why do you have to be so stupid!" He punched the wall one last time, creating a good sized dent. He pulled his hands back, looking at his bloody knuckles. "Oh well, at there's no way he can deny it now. And he knows about my feelings too. It's only a matter of time."


Dick sighed as he typed on his laptop. There was a knocking on his door and he rubbed his head, looking up.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Master Richard, you have a visitor," Alfred announced.

"Who is it?" Dick asked.

"Wallace," Alfred informed him. Dick sat up quickly, looking at the door.

"Give me a moment!" Dick shouted. He looked down at his laptop and quickly exited out of any suspicious tabs. He looked around his room and noticed Tomcat's collar on his desk. He ran over to it and stuffed it into a drawer. The rich kid ran into his bathroom, quickly fixing his appearance, just in case. He ran back to his bed and set his laptop on his lap. "Send him in!"

"Very well sir," Alfred agreed. Dick looked down at his laptop and pretended to be working on something. In no time at all Wally entered his bedroom, closing the door behind him.

"Hey," Wally greeted.

"Hey," Dick muttered.

"Can we talk?" Wally asked.

"About what?" Dick questioned, looking up at him. "How you clearly have feelings for me? Or how about as soon as I kiss you, you push me away?"

"Look, I only pushed you away because it didn't feel right," Wally told him.

"Oh, that makes me feel so much better," Dick grumbled. Wally closed Dick's laptop and set it aside.

"I didn't mean it like that," Wally told him. "It just felt…" Wally groaned and rubbed his face in exasperation. He looked at Dick and sighed, sitting next to him. He reached out a hand, placing it on Dick's neck. He pulled the blushing boy wonder closer, gently kissing him. Dick leaned into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Wally's neck. Their lips moved together and Wally laid his hands on Dick's hips, pulling him onto his lap. Dick whimpered slightly when they pulled away. "Now that felt right."

"So…what does this mean?" Dick asked nervously. He bit his bottom lip and looked at Wally with pleading eyes. Wally smiled at him and leaned forward, kissing him. Dick moaned lightly, and adjusted himself so that he was straddling the other boy. Wally lightly caught the younger's boy's bottom lip, and gently bit it, earning a whimper. The speedster pulled back and smiled at Dick.

"I guess it means that we're together," Wally answered.

"Asterous," Dick said with a smile. He leaned forward, quickly capturing Wally's lips.
