Chapter eleven drawing closer

"Oh let him be Teekl. He's causing enough chaos with his little fit," Klarion smiled as D'yale kept destroying the order of science searching for something. His skin had already paled to an ashen blue. His eyes dark and menacing. Piercing through souls searching. Klarion thought it was fun. He never knew that a whim could turn into something so chaotic. Well he did but not this one. This was a glorious surprise. It didn't even bother him when a bright light penetrated the area.

"Oh, so nice of you to join us Nabu," he laughed. Doctor Fate looked at Klarion before looking at D'yale.

"This will end," he said firing his orderly magic at D'yale who dodged the light magic.

"No," he growled, "Not until I find him."

He then threw small concussion grenades which Doctor Fate protected himself from as the chaotic man continued to destroy the lab.

"You will not succeed. Klarion. You shall fail," he said firing at D'yale once again. D'yale turned and glared at Fate.

"NO!" He yelled back disrupting the magic, "I cannot lose. I cannot fail. Not with them on the line!"

"I cannot fail with their lives at stake," Fate responded. Klarion arched his brow. Who they? The speedster? No, this referred to multiple people. Wait a second.

"You have a new body Nabu?" he inquired playfully. Fate looked at him but didn't answer. The blind eye was answer enough. He then refocused on D'yale who had begun to destroy the lab once more. Klarion smiled at the destruction and inevitable chaos that was occurring but his thoughts drifted elsewhere. The new body of Nabu seemed to know D'yale as a human, not as a chaos lord. And they were both set on finding something. Or in this case… someone.

He stroked Teekl idly as he pondered what to do about this development.

-.-

"So Beetle and Supey are gone?"

"Yeah. Sorry Roy. You just missed them," Wally said ruffling his hair. Roy stopped his foot angrily.

"No freakin' fair!" he cried out, "When am I going to meet everyone?"

"When you have good timing? Roy, I don't know. I'm a scientist not a miracle worker."

"Not when you're Wallace. Kid Flash however seems to be quite the miracle worker," Francis quipped. Wally glared at the pale clone. Ever since he learned of Wally's other life he had done extensive research on it, "Perdita?"

Wally sighed, "Would you drop that you insufferable clone!?"

"Not likely."

"It would still be nice to meet the rest of our family," Ansel commented. Wally froze for a second.

"Our?" he asked. He was still not used to the idea of having Superman's clones be related to him and Superman not.

"Yes," he said with a poker face that could rival Conner's. Wally blinked and pulled out a sincere face that seemed to promise all the joy in the world.

"Not in this year or the next," he said sincerely as if he were telling them they could all have a puppy. Ansel blinked in slight confusion while plotting ways to get the "family" there.

"Might you not consider it?" Francis asked, "Otherwise there are others who I may introduce Ansel to."

Wally paled.

"No Secret Scientists. That'll bring hell. Seriously you should know that Franny," he spat. Francis gave his own version of a smile.

"Oh please, the boys need time outside to socialize," he said.

"They need to be able to blend. Roy hasn't had contact with the world in years. And Ansel has only now started to learn to control his strength. And contrary to popular beliefs, I can't afford what they break. I'd have to steal Batman's credit card. And I am not doing that again!"

"…Again?" Roy asked with interest. Wally's face paled slightly.

"No. Forget I said anything," he said walking away quickly.

"Oh no Wallace. Why don't you tell them what happened?" Francis asked with mock interest. Wally stuck his tongue out childishly at Francis as he grabbed a cookie from Match's large pile chewing angrily. He was not going to introduce them to his family. Not like this. It would be bad for Roy to meet Bart. Two chaotic boys not from this time… it would end badly. Question was… for who?

-.-

"So are you going to tell Superman about… y'know," Jaime asked.

"Not yet. He was iffy around me. And I want to make sure I know more about Ma-Ansel so that I can warn Superman," he said looking ahead. That was a landmine that he'd have to trigger once Superman got back from the off world mission. Better to just set it off before another end of the world crisis.

"Ah Lo siento. Didn't think about that ese," he said rubbing the back of his neck.

"It's alright freshman. You're still learning."

"Eh?"

"How was scarab research? Wally typically isn't covered in smoke," he said. Jaime's cheeks flushed crimson.

"Uh, well, he plugged something into the scarab and the scarab really didn't like that so he initiated a little… explosion per say, covering Wally in soot," he explained. It was a bit embarrassing though Wally didn't seem to mind. Especially after he had stolen some of Match's cookies. He mentioned something about naturally better than M'gann which confused him. He never knew M'gann to bake. And cookies no less.

"You don't say?" Conner said with a small chuckle. Jaime smiled. Who would have thought that Conner would actually act like a big brother? To Match and, dare he say it? Himself. He wouldn't deny it. It honestly felt like Conner was his big brother. His big genomorph clone of Superman technically "younger" brother but still.

"It was strange. Kaiji was still off on a rant of how we shouldn't let him near the scarab but he wasn't threatening like he normally would. It sounded more like harmless pranks. I guess that Sumerian comment he said a few weeks ago made the scarab like him."

"Didn't see that one coming," Conner laughed. Jaime raised his brow.

"You laugh a lot more," he muttered quietly. Conner turned to face Jaime confused. Then his face turned into one of acknowledgement.

"I learned to laugh and relax because of Wally. In a way, you remind me of how he used to be. Not always knowing what to do but reacting regardless, always trying to protect people without compromising yourself, and always accepting people even though they don't accept you."

"Que?" he asked.

"Wally used to be bullied at his school. That didn't stop him from protecting or helping the individuals. Sure he never cheated for them but he would tutor them even if they were jerks to him. He knew that by being himself, it was the only way he could see teaching them."

Jaime blinked. He could see that happening. Wally seemed extremely nice despite the occasional "joke". He was helping him after all. And he wasn't being a jerk about it. He was still talking to Jaime about "mundane" things like the weather and strange things like what was the disaster of the week? He was more human despite living an insane double life (that Conner was trying to pull him away from) and having powers.

"He really is a hero," Jaime said softly knowing Conner would hear him. Conner nodded and continued to face forward as they approached the mountain, unaware of what chaos was running amuck inside.
