Hellllooooo, lovelies! Here is my the long awaited requested fic from kitty101! And I tried to do a bit more Roy in this for I'm Judging You, and I also added the quote cocopops1995 requested!

Tryin' to kill three birds with one stone!

ENJOOOOYYYYYY!

P.S. this takes place some time after Wally returns (BECAUSE LETS BE HONEST PEOPLE, IF THE SHOW HADN'T BEEN CANCELED HE WOULD HAVE RETURNED) Just so you know... :)

Dick yawned wide as he walked from his bedroom to the apartment's small kitchen, only half awake. Pulling open the refrigerator he dug around for the previous night's leftovers and a carton of milk. It was only just barely nine in the morning, and after such a long night he wasn't quite sure what had driven him to get out of bed so early.

Suddenly the phone rang.

Choosing to ignore it, Dick popped his food into the microwave and proceeded to grab a glass from the cupboard.

"Hey, Richie-Rich, don't forget we're babysitting today. Roy's dropping the kid at my place in an hour."

Oh right. That's why he had gotten up.

Roy had called a couple of days previous, wondering if his "two best friends" could watch his daughter for a few hours. He hadn't specified why, and he had insisted the two do it together.

Needless to say, Dick wasn't very happy.

With an annoyed sigh, Dick poured his milk into the glass - paying more attention to the plate turning in the microwave than the task at hand.

The appliance beeped, and Dick reached over to pop it open, taking a sip of his drink. As soon as the liquid touched his tongue, he gagged and ran for the sink, spitting it out.

Curdled. Great.

Wasn't this day just off to a wonderful start...

"And she's allergic to strawberries so keep them away."

Wally sighed heavily, "Is that everything?" he asked, for what seemed like the billionth time.

Roy thought for a moment. "I think so," he replied.

"Good. Now get out."

Roy rolled his eyes. "I'm not leaving until Dick gets here."

As if on cue, the doorbell rang.

Sending the archer a smug look, Wally went for the door.

"Hey, guys," Dick said, striding in and shrugging off his coat. "So, Roy, still not gonna tell us why we're here?"

"All you need to know, is that I need a babysitter."

Rolling his eyes, Dick sighed. "Right..."

"Well, here you go then," Roy passed Lian to Wally carefully, "don't be an idiot with her, West."

"Hey, have some faith!"

Without a word, Roy gave a quick wave, before leaving.

Dick and Wally looked at each other.

"This isn't gonna go well is it?"

"Probably not..."

The word "Awkward" did not do the current situation justice. The two males were sitting on the sofa silently, Lian between them giggling and clapping as the cartoon characters danced on the TV. Wally's foot tapped lightly yet quickly against the tile floor, and Dick quietly drew on a piece of paper - where he had gotten said paper, and a pencil to draw with, Wally would never know; the objects had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

"Well, guess we better get the munchkin to bed," Wally said suddenly, mostly to fill the silence.

Lian whimpered. "No!"

Wally looked at the toddler. "Aw, c'mon, Lian. You have to take a nap, daddy said so!"

"No!"

"Lian..."

"No nap!"

Sighing heavily, Wally reached for his niece, only to have her practically dive off the couch. "Hey!"

Dick reached for her, but wasn't quite fast enough. "Lian!"

"No!"

Pushing up his sleeves, Wally crouched in front of the toddler. "Ok, Lian," he said, gently. "Daddy said you have to take a nap, so that's what you're gonna do. Don't make this difficult."

Dick copied the redhead's stance, right behind the little girl, and readied himself.

Lian started crawling toward the kitchen. Wally cut her off, grabbing her just before she made it into the other room. A squeal escaped the child, as she was carried to the bedroom.

"You stay there and sleep," Wally said as he laid the toddler in his bed. As he turned to walk out, a whimper made him look back. "What's the matter, kiddo?"

Lian rubbed her stomach.

"You...want food?"

The toddler lit up, bouncing up and down.

With a light chuckle, Wally scooped his niece into his arms and went to the Kitchen. Sitting the child on the counter, Wally opened the fridge to search for something to eat.

Dick rolled his eyes at the frustrated look on his friend's face, undoubtedly due to having no idea what was suitable for a baby. "You watch her, I'll cook."

Wally looked up, silently stepping back to retrieve Lian from the counter.

Dick went to one of the cupboards and grabbed a can of carrots. Easily navigating his way around the Kitchen, he found a pan and a spoon. Wally watched without a word as the younger male cooked and moved about the room if it were his own. If he didn't know any better, Wally would have thought they were at the Cave, or in Wayne Manor.

"Alright, done," Dick announced, putting the carrots in a bowl and adding a bit of cold water to cool them. "Set the kid on the table."

Wally carefully set Lian on the tabletop, and Dick took the chair in front of her.

"Num, num!" Lian squealed, clapping her hands.

Dick smirked, as he fed the toddler a slice of the vegetable.

"Hey...can I try?"

Dick looked up. "Sure..."

Wally switched places with his friend, and took the bowl and fork from him.

Deciding he was unneeded, Dick went back to the living room to watch TV. Propping his feet up on the table once again, he starting flipping through the channels.

Wally looked out into the living room and watched the other for a moment. Eventually, with a sigh he turned his attention back to the table. "Alright, munchkin, now back to your- AH!"

"What's wrong?" Dick asked.

"SHE'S GONE!"

Dick was on his feet and in the kitchen with a speed Wally had to admit was a bit impressive. "What do you mean she's gone?!"

"I mean she's gone! Vanished!"

"She's a baby! She's can't just vanish! How'd she even get off the table?!"

"How should I know?!"

"You were supposed to be watching her!"

"So were you!"

"You were with her!"

A sudden giggle made the two whip around, but there was nothing.

Dick took a deep breath. "Ok, calm down," he said. "She's just the daughter of one of the world's best Assassin's...we'll find her eventually."

"You are so not helping," Wally told him, shooting him a look.

"You really are insane," Artemis said, shaking her head.

Roy smirked as he watched the scene unfold on the monitors, "Someone has to do something about the way they've been acting," he told her, handing Lian her rattle. "Besides, you really think I'd trust those two with my kid? Alone?"

"They're responsible!"

"Arty, they lost Tim in the mall six times."

"So?"

"In the same day..."

Artemis fell silent.

"How did you lose her?" Dick asked again, calm as ever.

Wally glared at him. "Y'know, your attitude is not appreciated..."

"Shouldn't have lost the kid..."

Pulling open the hall closet, Wally began furiously pulling out blankets and sheets. "Not here either!"

"Let's check outside," Dick suggested.

"There's no way she could have gotten outside!"

"Like there's no way she could have gotten off the table...?"

"...I hate you."

Dick opened the front door and stepped outside. The sun was shining brightly, not a cloud in the sky, and the birds were chirping from their respective perches. It was an all around beautiful day, weather wise. Walking around the building, he came up empty.

"Roy is gonna kill us!" Wally said, eyes filled with terror. "He's gonna stab us to death with his arrows! He won't even shoot them, he'll just start stabbing!"

"Anyone ever tell you, you're extremely over dramatic?" Dick asked, quirking an eyebrow.

Wally glared, "Fine, let's just be completely calm about this. Let's just act like we didn't just lose a baby!"

"You lost a baby," Dick corrected. "For all Roy knows, I went to get food."

"You wouldn't -!"

"What, in our history together, makes you think I wouldn't?"

If a glare could kill, Dick would have keeled over.

"This is so wrong."

Roy rolled his eyes. "Relax, kid, it'll be fine."

Artemis sent him a sharp look. "Did you just call me 'kid'?"

"So?"

"I'm only two years younger than you!"

"...So?"

Dropping onto the ratty sofa, Artemis pulled Lian into her lap. "Eventually Dick will find out what you did," she said, matter-of-factly. "And he's gonna kill you."

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there," Roy said.

Artemis rolled her eyes. "I'll give you one thing, Harper...you're brave as hell."

"Dude, Roy's going to be back in," Dick looked at his watch, "ten minutes."

Dropping down onto the sofa heavily, Wally groaned. "I've looked everywhere!" he said, looking close to tears. "I am officially the worst Uncle ever..."

"I'm sure there are worse Uncles out there," Dick said, sitting down beside the speedster.

"How the hell are you so calm?!" Wally demanded in frustration. "You're acting like this is nothing! Lian is gone, Dick, don't you care?!"

"Of course I care."

"Then why aren't you freaking out?!"

"Because Roy has her."

Wally blinked. "W-what?"

Dick nodded. "Yep," he said, leaning back and kicking his feet up onto the table. "She's been with him the whole time."

"When did you figure this out?" Wally asked.

Thinking for a moment, Dick hummed. "I think since we looked outside," he replied. "It only makes sense that she would be with Roy...she's only just barely a year-old, it isn't like she could run away."

"You're impossible," Wally sighed, "why didn't you say anything?"

A shrug. "I thought you might figure it out by yourself..."

Wally smirked. "What in our History together makes you think I could do that?"

Dick rolled his eyes, but also smirked. "I have no idea."

"There is one thing that doesn't make any sense."

"Oh?"

"How'd he get in and out without either of us noticing?"

"You still leave the backdoor unlocked?" Dick asked.

Wally nodded. "Hmm...still surprising."

Dick rolled his neck. "Well, I guess I'm not really needed," he said. "I'd better be getting back. I've got a Chem exam on Monday that I have yet to study for."

"Like you even need to study," Wally muttered, rolling his eyes. "Hey, Dick?"

Looking over at the redhead, the man in question quirked an eyebrow. "Yeah?"

Wally quickly looked away. "N-never mind..."

"What is it, Walls?"

The speedster sighed heavily, looking back. "We're still friend's right?"

Confused, Dick's eyebrows furrowed deeply. "Yeah..."

"Then why doesn't it feel like it?"

Dick looked down at his hands in his lap. "Dunno..."

There was a long few moments of uncomfortable silence, before Wally spoke again.

"Look I'm...I'm sorry..."

"For what?"

Wally closed his eyes, and let out a deep breath. "For leaving you the way I did."

Dick turned to him. "You didn't-,"

"Don't say I didn't leave you, dude," Wally said, looking at his friend seriously. "You were right when you said I was turning into Roy. I...I abandoned you and the others. And while I was floating around through the Speed Force I just kept thinking about how I left things between us. And I know it's a little late to make things right, but I promise you I'm going to try the hardest I can."

Blinking slowly, blue bore into green.

"You don't have to make things right, Wally, they were never wrong."

Expression turning to surprise, Wally leaned away slightly. "What?"

"People grow up, Walls, it happens," Dick said with a small smile. "I figured out a long time ago that we weren't going to be the same friends we were when we were ten and twelve. You had to change and so did I, it's just apart of life."

Wally smiled back. "So...we're good right?"

"Of course."

Roy smiled at his friends as he stood in doorway. "I'm glad you two worked things out," he said, hoisting Lian up onto his shoulders.

"Me too," Artemis agreed. "It's weird to see you guys anything but best friends."

"We'll always be best friends," Wally said, slinging an arm around the younger's neck. "We've got a bromance going on! I bro-th you, man!"

Dick wiped his eye dramatically. "I...I love you, dude."

Artemis rolled her eyes. "One day you guys are gonna be too old for that."

Both boys grinned.

"Never."

I've come to the conclusion that I freaking suck at endings. Bleh!

I'm sorry if this fic made little to no sense...it's too o'clock in the morning where I am and I've been up since six :/
