Chapter nine: My friends teach me how to steal ice crème

^o^

(Wally/Blitz's POV)

After I finished delivering the gems to Captain Cold I raced back to town to join up with Trickster and Pied Piper. Fortunately for me they weren't that hard to find, as they weren't very far from where they were when I left them.

"I'm back!" I announced happily.

"That didn't take you very long," Pied Piper chuckled.

I grinned at him. "Fasted kid alive," I reminded him. "I bet one of these days I'm gonna be able to out run the Flash! Then I'll be the fastest human alive!"

"I don't doubt that for a minute," Pied Piper told me.

"Hey, if your so fast, how come your always late?" Trickster asked me, giggling.

"I'm not always late," I objected.

"You keep telling yourself that!" Trickster giggled again.

I rolled my eyes at him.

That's when a thought occurred to me. "How are we supposed to go out for ice crème in our costumes?" I asked the others. "No ones gonna want to serve us…"

Pied Piped chuckled at me and ruffled my hair. "Silly little Blitz," He said in a singsong tone, "They don't have to WANT to serve us. Actually, they don't even have to know we're there. We have…. Other methods."

"What kind of methods?" I asked him suspiciously.

"We're gonna steal it!" Trickster responded happily.

Stealing ice crème?

Oh well, I can live with that, especially after what I just did.

"Are you going to have a problem with this?" Pied Piper asked me carefully, almost sounding like he was trying to test me.

Actually, now that I think about it, that's probably exactly what he's doing. Pied Piper probably wants to make sure that my earlier run in with the Flash hasn't left an impression in my mind.

"Not at all," I finally answered him, knowing this is what he wanted to hear.

Pied Piper grinned at me. "Good boy," He told me before ruffling my hair.

"Now can we go get ice crème?" Trickster asked impatiently.

Pied Piper chuckled at his teammates impatience. "Of course," he told him. "And I know the perfect place to go. Follow me!"

Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

^o^

By hiding in the shadows we managed to go about town without anyone noticing up. Which is a good thing when you've just robbed a museum. Last thing I want if for someone to alert the Flash as to where I am.

Soon enough we were staking out a lone ice crème stand with a rather large crowd of people around. This worried me, but the Pied Piper promised that all the people would make it so that no one would notice us.

"Tricksters the master at this," Pied Piper told me. "Just watch what he does and copy it, ok?"

"Ok," I agreed.

"Here I go," Trickster giggled before racing out of the hiding place.

I watched as Trickster ducked around people, being surprisingly stealthy for all the bright colors he was wearing. I continued to watch as I saw him pull out a marble from his pocket and shoot it at the worker.

The worker turned in the direction of the marble, looking for the person who had shot him. But while he was distracted trickster snuck up behind him and stole an ice crème sandwich. He disappeared back into the crowd without the man noticing him.

Just as quickly as he left, Trickster appeared at my side again. He was holding up his icy prize, a proud grin on his face.

"I did it!" He declared.

"That you did," Pied Piped congratulated as he ruffled Tricksters hair. "Do you want to go next Blitz?"

I shook my head. "I think I want to see it done again before I try it," I told him.

"Ok, then," He said, "Here I go."

Much like Trickster did, Pied Piper ducked into the crowd and disappeared. His slightly darker costume was much harder to see though, I nearly lost sight of him a few times even with my fast moving mind.

As I watched him I saw him pick up a pebble and used it much the same way Trickster had to distract the poor unfortunate worker. It worked to, and Pied Piper ducked behind the man and stole himself an ice crème bar, before disappearing back into the crowd.

Quickly, even quicker than Trickster, Pied Piper reappeared with his frozen prize.

"You're turn," He told me, grinning ear to ear.

I let out a small gulp. Not because I thought what I was doing was wrong, but because I was afraid to fail and get caught. I really wanted Pied Piper and Trickster's approval. I can't fail!

With this thought in mind I sped out into the crowd, using my speed to my advantage.

As precisely as I could I scooped up a pebble from the ground and chucked it at the worker, hoping desperately I wouldn't miss.

For once, it seemed, luck was on my side.

The pebble connected with the workers shoulder and he spun around like he had for the others. Seeing my opening I super speeded behind him and grabbed an ice crème bar. Prize in hand I wasted no time rushing away and returning to the others.

I let out a sigh of relief when I was safe and sound in the alleyway.

"Not bad for your first time," Pied Piper congratulated me. "You're a natural thief already."

I grinned up at him. "Thanks."

Trickster jumped over and hugged me. "You're just like us!" he squeaked happily.

I found myself smiling at him. "Wouldn't have it any other way," I told him.

"Ready to head back home?" Pied Piper asked us.

Trickster let go of me and nodded. "Do you think Captain Cold will let us have a family movie tonight?" He asked hopefully.

"Don't know," Pied Piper told him. "But we can ask him when we get back."

"Yay!" Trickster jumped up and down in excitement.

"Is that guy ever upset about anything?" I asked Pied Piper, staring at the strange scene that was Trickster.

"He got upset when he thought you were leaving us to go back to the Flash," Pied Piper reminded me, "But generally, no. He's usually just happy about everything. That's what makes him Trickster."

"Well if he's like this hen he's on his meds, what is he like when he isn't on them?" I asked the older boy curiously.

"Imagine normal Trickster, but ten times worse," Pied Piper told me, chuckling as though he was thinking about a funny memory. "It' not recommended to take him off his meds. But he sure is damn amusing when he isn't. That's probably the reason he's never held captive for long. No one wants to deal with him when his medication wears off."

I shuddered at the thought. "Hope I never have to deal with him when he's like that."

"Don't worry about that," He told me, chuckling some more, "I can just use my music to send him back to sleep, its what I usually do."

"Ok."

"Come on!" Trickster squeaked at us. "Stop walking sooooo slow!"

I looked over at him to find that he was standing quite a ways away from us with his hands on his hips in annoyance.

"Be right there!" Pied Piper called out to him before turning back to me. "Still glad to be on the team?" He asked me, and just like earlier he sounded like he was testing me.

So I responded with what he wanted to hear again. "Why wouldn't I be?" I asked him back. "You guys are the best friends I've ever had!"

Pied Piper grinned at me before racing over to Trickster.

I grinned to myself, glad that I said the right thing, before racing after him at top speed, beating him to Trickster.

"So what movie will we watch?" I asked the clown-themed boy.

Trickster grinned mischievously at me. "You're a new Rogue," He told me. "So it's your pick."

This will be fun…
