This chapter is about them finding out about bullying. This should be fun to write :D
Enjoy
Don't Own Anything!
Wally, Roy and Kaldur followed the instructions they were given. They infiltrated the building and found three rooms each locked. They knew that everyone inside would be asleep so Roy started picking the locks to the boys' room and the teachers' room because the girls' room was already unlocked. Wally looked around and found a fire alarm. He smashed the glass case and set off the loud alarm.
"That should wake them up" Wally shouted over the noise. Each boy took a room and instructed the inhabitants of each room what to do. Aqualad led the girls towards the nearest exit and Roy told the girls to follow. Wally told the boys to follow everyone else and waited by the door as they all piled out. The last person was about to go past but Wally stopped him and pushed him back into the room. Roy came into the room as well. The alarm was still screaming in the background.
"Hey" shouted Adam Scope as Wally pushed him back in, "I have to go out with my class"
"How do we know you're not working undercover with Lex Luthor?" Roy asked. He knew it was a pure lie but the terrified look on the boy's face as they cornered him was priceless.
"It's a dangerous world spying on people" Wally said joining in. It was torture to keep a straight face as the boy looked scared.
"You know what they do to sneaks don't you?" Roy asked threateningly. Adam shook his head.
"I'm not a spy or a sneak. I'm just a school boy!" Adam squealed as his back bumped into the corner.
"Oh you poor boy you don't know?" asked Roy with mocking innocence.
"Should we tell him?" Wally asked Roy
"Maybe if he is prepared for the physical and mental torture then it might make it better. You know, kill the suspense of waiting for the next metal blade to slash the skin" Roy said in a matter of fact tone of voice.
Adam was terrified. He was so scared that these boys believed that he was a spy or something, he was too scared to speak.
Wally and Roy started discussing horrible gory ways of torture that Adam couldn't take it anymore. He ran past them screaming heading for the door. Just as he was about to exit he ran into a black object blocking the door. Batman.
Adam screamed believing that Batman was part of this.
"Ignore them and join your class" Batman said angrily facing the older boys and stepped out of Adam's way.
Roy and Wally tried to hide their laughter but weren't doing a very good job.
"Outside!" Batman growled.
Both boys obeyed and hung their heads pretending to look like they were in shame but really it was to hide their smiles from the Dark Knight.
When they finally got outside they saw Adam running off to join his classmates and then saw Dick entering an ambulance. At least he was safe.
When all the commotion had died down all the heroes gathered together out of hearing distance.
There was all of young justice minus Robin but also Batgirl, Batman and Superman.
"I see that you had to introduce yourself" Batman said to Batgirl.
"Sorry, it wasn't optional, they had taken Dick" Batgirl replied, Batman nodded a response in understanding.
"I'm assuming that you all figured out Robin's true name?" Batman asked. The team nodded and murmured in response, "I'm guessing you figured out my name?" More nods.
"Please do not be angry at him Batman. He needed to talk to us and get to his Robin supplies" Kaldur said quickly in Robins defence.
"I am not angry at Robin. I gave him permission if it was necessary which it was" Batman responded, he raised his voice, "now would you like to tell me why you were scaring a boy to death?"
Wally let out a small grin but hid it again when Batman glared at him.
"Now everyone knows his ID it's safe to say that we already knew it" Roy said addressing everyone who didn't know, he then faced Batman, "Dick was being bullied. We saw him getting pushed about by Adam Scope on the first day. He came to visit us after dark and when we said we knew he became scared. He didn't want you to find out Batman, he didn't want anyone to find out he was so scared."
He let his words seep in. Everyone was shocked except for Batgirl. Even Batman showed some recognition of that emotion. Megan, Kaldur and Conner looked at the ground wondering how someone would even want to pick on the boy. Artemis wished she had noticed Dick being bullied before she had found out he was Robin so he could have stopped it and Superman was in shock wondering why Dick hadn't trusted him with this information. Batman felt horrible, he felt that it was his fault that Dick didn't trust him enough to tell him. Batgirl stood there like it was normal. She felt a little ashamed of herself that she hadn't told anyone earlier but she didn't show it.
"We questioned Dick about it," Wally said, "and he said that it had been happening for over six months. He said that it wasn't normal physical though but wouldn't tell us why Adam bullied him."
"He also mentioned that Adam's friends joined in every now and then" finished Roy.
Everyone was silent for a while. Batman spoke next.
"Who are the others, Adam's friends?" he asked quietly.
Batgirl spoke next, "Tom Anders, Mike Grem and Samuel Ikes"
Everyone looked at her in shock when she spoke.
"You knew this was happening?" Batman asked almost hurt.
She nodded. Roy stormed up to her.
"Why didn't you tell anyone?" he screamed. Batgirl took a step back and everyone was watching her.
"I promised I wouldn't," she said loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone was about to object and comment on how stupid an excuse that was but she spoke again, "I promised I wouldn't if he would tell someone. I didn't want him to feel threatened. The bullying wasn't a one off. I kept trying to persuade him to tell you Bruce. He threatened to no longer be y friend if I told anyone so I kept trying to get him to tell someone. He was planning to tell you when he got home. I told him that if he didn't then I would and he accepted the terms although I know he wasn't looking forward to it"
There was more silence.
"I need to go and check if he is alright" Batman said as he turned around to storm off.
"I'm coming with you Bruce" Superman called after him. Batman was about to object but decided against it knowing that nothing would change the thick skulled mind of the kryptonian.
Batman and Superman drove off leaving the teens behind. They went to the bio ship and flew Artemis and Batgirl back to school trying to beat the bus. They got changed on the journey there and hid when the bus arrived. When the students started pouring out of the bus they moved into the group as if they had been there the whole time. Barbara sneakily removed the small devices of the two other girls.
At hospital Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent arrived. They were sent to Dick's room where he was sleeping. Bruce sat on the chair next to his bed and Clark took the seat opposite the bed. Both men waited for him to wake up. After about half an hour Dick started to wake up. He groaned slightly at the pain and opened his eyes.
"Hey Bruce" he said with a small smile when he noticed him sitting there. Bruce did not return the smile so Dick dropped his. He knew something was up. He looked around the room and saw Clark also with a serious face. Something was seriously wrong.
"Why didn't you tell me you were being bullied?" Bruce asked bluntly. Dick was taken back. His friends had actually told him. They had betrayed him.
"I was scared" he mumbled just loudly enough for Bruce to hear.
"You shouldn't have felt scared to tell me" Bruce cried out.
"I know, I'm sorry" he said looking at his sheets. Bruce pulled him in for a hug and realised just how tense the boy was. Dick relaxed in the older man's arms and returned the hug, "when you're ready you can tell me why he bullied you and tell your side of the story"
Dick gave a small smile of thanks which Bruce returned meaning your welcome.
"If it would make you happier" Clark chimed in, "Wally and Roy gave him quite a scare"
Dick smiled and laughed. Bruce grinned.
"When I came in he ran into me screaming" Bruce said laughing. Dick laughed harder. That did make him happier.
When Clark and Bruce went to speak to the nurse about Dicks condition Dick pulled out a small computer connected to his watch. Wally had dropped his side of the bargain so Dick would drop his...
Although he thought to himself, they did scare him. Maybe I'll only tell league members and not people financing the league as well
That seemed a generous enough offer. With that Dick hacked into the league mainframe and sent out a message to every hero connected to the league telling them about Wally's first day camping.
In Mount Justice the teens were waiting to hear from Batman telling them how Dick was doing. Suddenly everyone's communicator received a message. Everyone read the message. Artemis, Barbara and Roy were the first on the floor laughing. (Barbara was waiting with the others to hear any news). Megan then fell into fits of giggles. Conner and Kaldur started laughing and Flash who had come to check on his nephew had to hold onto his sides to stop them from ripping apart because he was laughing so hard. Wally sat on his chair hating the boy wonder feeling very embarrassed as he imagined all the heroes around the world were probably laughing at him.
And he was right, they were laughing at him and each and every one of them thought the same thoughts, they would make sure that they never let this go so they could humiliate him for the rest of his life.
And Finish!
That is the end of the story. What did you think?
Really enjoyed writing this story. I love annoying Wally :P
