A/N: The latest episode- I really liked it, by the way- brings us good news and bad news. Good news is that Wally obviously has a big, happy Flash family. Bad news is that some of these stories are now getting further and further away from canon. Whaaatever.
The following chapter is strictly for humor purposes only - even more than the rest of them. Most of the information about Wally's past I made up. I actually found a "quiz for your characters" online, started filling it out for Wally, and decided it would make a good chapter, realistic or not. I pulled out the questions that inspired the best answers. If you can't tell, this takes place shortly after the first meeting of Young Justice. The italics are the real world, the rest in the quiz. Hope you get a good laugh. I do not own Young Justice.
Summary: We all know Wally never takes homework seriously.
"It's just a few questions," Black Canary assured them, while all five of the team members looked dumbfounded at the sheets of paper they'd been given. "The Justice League has all filled out something like this too. Batman keeps it on the safest hard drive world wide, so you have no need to fear anyone besides yourselves, your mentors, and Batman from seeing these answers. You have two days to think about all of this before you have to hand these back in."
He couldn't believe it. A quiz on himself, for Young Justice? Come on, he wanted missions and girls. Not paperwork. If the adults thought that was what this team was about, they had better guess again.
Still, he better get it over with. Back in Central City, he claimed the Allen's kitchen table as his own and started to work.
Mandatory Questions
1. What about you is heroic?
Um, I'm Kid Flash. Maybe you've heard of me? If not, well, I'm sidekick. To the Flash. The fastest man alive. If you don't know about him… even though you're Batman, so you should… Well, I dress up in brightly colored spandex and save people. Happy?
2. Of what benefit could you be to the current group?
I'm the fastest boy alive. I could benefit any group.
3. Why would you choose to join the current group?
Well, because I want to hang out with other sidekicks and go on missions without the Flash. Not that I don't love Uncle Barry, and all, but he casts a very large shadow, if you know what I mean.
4. What is your real, birth name? What name do you use?
Wally paused before answering.
Wallace Rudolf West. I don't know what my parents were thinking. I don't usually tell people about the Rudolf part. I also use Kid Flash.
5. Do you have a nickname? What is it, and where did you get it?
Wally. Short for Wallace. My mom's called me that as long as I can remember. Kid Flash is shortened a lot of ways, but mostly KF or just Kid. Uncle Barry, probably.
6. What do you look like? (Include height, weight, hair, eyes, skin, apparent age, and distinguishing features)
Okay. Creeper, much?
I am 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and hopefully I'll grow again. My weight fluctuates a lot, depending on whether I can eat enough to maintain my metabolism. Somewhere in the range of 140, 150. I think. My hair is awesome. That great red color. Everybody loves it. A couple inches long, I guess, not very, but not short, so I can show it off. My eyes are also awesome. Girls dream about these bright green beauties. Skin- flawless! Usually. Freckles don't count. Girls love freckles. I'm fifteen, thank you. It's a pretty great age. Distinguishing features…well, does being skinny count? Cuz I'm pretty much the definition. Artie asked me if I was bulimic that time at the beach. She's such an a-hole. You shouldn't make fun of that, obviously. That's why I was mad.
7. In your opinion, what is your best feature?
All of me.
8. What's your real birth date?
Why does this matter?
9. What one word best describes you?
Supercrazyfastultraamazing! Ha. One word.
Wally looked up as the door to the house opened and Aunt Iris walked in. She stopped in surprise as she saw him. "Wally? Is anybody else home?"
He shook his head. "Nope. Just doing my homework."
"It's July."
"Well, Young Justice homework."
She nodded in understanding, set down her purse, temporarily ignoring the fact that he was at her house instead of his own, alone, for no apparent reason at all. "What is it?"
"Some quiz thing. I don't know, it's stupid."
She looked over his shoulder, read his last couple of answers, and sighed. "Well, if the Justice League gave it to you, you should probably take it seriously."
Wally frowned, looking down as well. "Yeah, maybe."
10. What was your family like?
I'm an only child. My parents…they're not really…good communicators. My Aunt Iris was the one that spoiled me as a kid. Now, Uncle Barry's there, too. He's my hero. Literally.
11. What is your most vivid memory?
Easy. Becoming Kid Flash.
12. What was your favorite toy as a child?
Flash action figure.
13. What was your favorite game?
Flash action figure saving the day…wow. I was a dork.
14. What is your fondest, childhood memory?
Uncle Barry telling me he loved me for the first time.
15. What is your worst childhood memory?
One day my Mom forgot to pick me up from Kindergarten. It was freaky.
16. It is common for one's view of authority to develop in their adolescent years. What is your view of authority, and what event most affected it?
Alright, superhero community, listen up. We are authority, baby. Seriously? Flash. He knows what's best.
17. What were your high school goals?
Breaking the light barrier.
18. Who was your idol when you were growing up? Who did you first fantasize about in your life?
Flash.
19. What is your favorite memory from adolescence?
From…now. Huh. When Supey laughed at one of my jokes. It was his first laugh ever. It was great.
20. What is your worst memory from adolescence?
Again, from recently? Well, Uncle Barry was pissed after the whole Cadmus thing…
21. What hobbies do you have?
Running, eating, sleeping, snacking, hand-to-hand combat, munching, jogging and collecting stuff. I know, I wonder how I do it all, too.
22. Who is your closest mundane friend? Describe them and how you relate to them.
Robin. He's the only one who can actually understand being a kid and a hero, even if he is a pip squeak. Speedy's really cool too, but I think we're a little too different.
23. Who is your worst mundane enemy? Describe them and why you don't get along.
Eh. I have many. No comment.
24. Do you have any pets? Do you want any pets? What kind?

Tall. Ripped. You know.
27. Would you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? Why?
Straight…cuz I am…
28. Who was the first person you had sex with? When did it happen? What was it like? How well did it go?
I'm 15. Well, I know that means squat to some people, so…I haven't had sex ever. Because I'm Kid Flash and that would be bad.
29. What is your deepest, most well-hidden sexual fantasy? Would you ever try it?
BATMAN IS GOING TO BE READING THIS, PEOPLE. WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS ARE THESE?
30. What was the wildest thing you've ever done, sexually? Who was it with and when did it happen?
I pecked my girlfriend on the cheek once. Oooo. (that was a joke, aka. I've-well, never mind.)
31. Is there any sexual activity that you enjoy and/or practice regularly that can be considered non-standard? (Bondage, Fantasy Play, etc.) Why do you like it?
Again. Kid Flash here.
32. Do you currently have a lover? What is their name, and what is your relationship like? What are they like? Why are you attracted to them?
Why as a matter of fact I do, actually. Her name is Rosalina Phillipa Tina Linda Flondoro and we're sole mates. We currently have 17 children and happily live on the private island of Australia. What do you think, stupid?
33. How old were you when you first got drunk? What was the experience like?
Who do you think I am? I'm Kid Flash! There's no way I'd ever admit to getting drunk.
I plead the fifth.

Again, Batman is probably reading this.

I'm underage.

Really whatever's…I mean, I don't drink. Never have, never will.
37. Have you ever tried any other kind of "mood altering" substance? Which one(s)? What did you think of each?
Alright. I'm not doing drugs, either, especially after what happened to-
Again. I plead the fifth. Right to remain silent and all that.
38. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Are there any people should not do? Why or why not?
Alright. Here we go. As Kid Flash, I know about the temptations that are out there, blah blah blah, speech, speech, speech, drugs and alcohol are bad.
39. Is it okay for you to cry? When was the last time you cried?
Kid Flash doesn't cry.
40. When did you go through whatever made you supernatural? What was it like (in your opinion)?
As in becoming Kid Flash? When I was thirteen, I got covered in lightening-charged chemicals. It was really confusing, at the time…
41. What do you think now of being supernatural? Is it cool, or have you been screwed?
Are you kidding me? Being Kid Flash in the best.
42. Do you have a mentor? Who are they? How did you become their student?
Yes. His name is Barry Allen. He's the Flash. I met him when he was going out with my aunt. Now he's my uncle-by-marriage. One day "the Flash" (before I met him) met with little me (I was so excited) and answered a couple of my questions as to how he became the Flash. He showed me, in came the lightening, voila.
43. Do you have any magical items? Where did you get them?
Magic is STUPID and DOESN'T EXIST! If you mean Dr. Fate's helmet, he gave it to me. Obviously.
44. What is something you had to learn during your training that you hated? Why did you hate it?
My training. I hate guns. Didn't used to have an opinion on them, but now I hate them. They kill people.

Get faster.
46. What is your current short term goal?
Date Miss M- I mean, girls. Why did I have to write in pen?
47. Do you have any bad habits? If so, what are they, and do you plan to get rid of them?
I tend to trip over things when I try to slow down. Zero to six hundred in half a second, no problem. Six hundred to zero? Not so much. I need to work on decelerating.
48. If you were a mundane person, what would you do with your life? What occupation would you want, and how would you spend all your time?
If I didn't have powers? I'd want to be a scientist. Work with NASA, maybe.
49. If you were to gain an obscenely large sum of money (via an inhertiance, a lawsuit, a lottery, or anything else) what would you do with it?
I don't know. Buy a mansion. Have lots of girlfriends. Things like that.
50. What would you wish for if you found a genie?
For Robin to trust me.
Wally put down his pen and looked over his answers. Was he- nah. The questions were so random and ridiculous that his answers were surely justifiable. He stood up and decided to raid the freezer for ice cream, his original purpose for coming to his aunt's house before he got distracted. Seriously, there was no way the Justice League had to answer that crap. Batman was probably just having fun with them.
He froze as the thought dawned on him. Batman was having fun with them.
This was either great or terrible.
On one hand, Batman knew the definition of fun. Who would have thought? On the other, the Justice League was clearly being led by a sociopath.
Sadistic heroes aside, Wally's respect for the dark knight had just doubled.
