"Who all is registered as part of our team?" Wally asked as he sat down preparing the list for the out of school party for the winter holidays.
"There is M'gann, Kon-El, Kaldur, Artemis, Kara, Guy, Barbara, Gar, Raven, Virgil, you, and me. Donna, Chloe, Roy, Jade, Tula, and Garth, are independents. Just invite all of them there is room at the cave or mansion, no matter where we choose to have it," Dick listed off as he cooked a weekend dinner for the team.
"There is a problem with that though…," Wally paused surprised his friend missed it.
"Jade already knows who I am. Besides she is more intent on helping us now," Dick shrugged before heading over to the computer.
"Robin, Leech and Orion are on the loose. Send three people to retrieve them," Bruce said over the computer before hanging up.
"Static, Gar," Dick called them over from the couch. "You two are going on a mission. Wally," Dick turned back around to face his friend. "We need a senior member on this. Your turn is up to lead," Dick handed him the printout Bruce had sent over.
"Let's go guys," Wally took the sheet as he led the two to the teleporter. A new computer hung in front of the teleporters which had a slot to insert the mission paper and get Oracle's files pulled up on them and get the teleporter set to the nearest location of the villains.
"Leech is a bang baby like Static. He was near the explosion when he gained the power to steal other peoples' powers. Orion is part of a family who prides themselves on their hunting ability. Once they get their eyes on a target they will continue to hunt it till death. They are currently residing in Washington D.C. You will be teleported to the Hall of Justice since it is there nearest transport spot," Oracle's voice recording told Wally, Virgil, and Gar as one of the teleporters fired up.

"What is wrong KF?" Gar asked as they walked through DC looking for the villains.
"First time leading a mission solo; I can't screw up. There they are," Wally gestured over to the bank which everyone was fleeing from.
"Ah the sidekicks. We were wondering when you would show up," Orion laughed. "You even brought my prey."
"Static, pull them outside," Wally ordered as he sped over behind the two villains to prevent any civilians from getting hurt.
Virgil sent a rope of electricity around Orion and Leech which grew and surrounded them in a sphere which he used to pull them outside since it was only temporary. "This can't hold us!" Leech yelled out as he punched through the field and latched onto Wally's leg.
"NO!" Wally yelled as his power left him and he passed out.
"We need to get you to a hospital!" Virgil yelled at Wally as he leaned against a tree breathing heavy.
"No. We will finish this mission. Rob is able to fight without powers," Wally pulled his goggles down over his eyes. "I know my powers backwards and forwards. I know how to bring down Leech as long as he has my super speed. I can also trace him," Wally laughed as a blip showed up on his goggles.
"What are we going to do?" Gar asked smelling the air.
"I have a plan," Wally smiled.
After Wally explained his idea to his teammates they all went their separate ways to prepare for the trick.

"Hey Orion. I think you need to rethink your idea of a partner," Wally laughed before disappearing into the crowd of people.
"I mean, one who lies to you about his powers, not the best partner," Wally laughed from another location that would have taken super speed to get to in the time period.
"Did he even tell you that with those powers of his he got he is planning on ditching you as soon as we arrest you? When he went inside me to get my powers I say inside him," Wally laughed from inside a restaurant. "Okay guys. Come on out," Wally laughed as he sipped from his drink.
Gar scurried out from behind a dumpster in the form of a green rat before returning to human. Virgil floated down on a garbage can lid from the roof of a nearby building. "What is this?" Orion laughed aiming his shoulder pistol at Wally.
"Nothing. I just wanted to let you know who you were working with. Did you know that a Bang Babies power correlates with his or her personality? Static here has a very strong, determined, and active personality. That plus a few other key things lead him to getting his electricity based powers. It was also what led Lex to hire you and Deadshot to capture him as a power source. So I ask you what kind of person gains powers which leans upon others. You have spent enough time with him to know it is true," Wally explained.
"How is this possible?" Orion yelled at Leech. "You said his powers would be stripped of him. Were you just lying to get me caught and you a fancy new power?" Orion aimed his sidearm and shoulder pistol at Leech.
"There is no way for him to still have his powers!" Leech yelled. "Shoot at him and find out!"
"Why, I am out of here; I can't get caught. The greatest knowledge a hunter can have is when they know when to leave their prey for another day. See you soon beast!" Orion sneered as he jumped into his approaching helicopter.
"So Leech, what are you going to do?" Wally asked finishing his drink and walking up to him.
"No, don't touch me!" Leech jumped back right into Gar.
"So I was right," Gar grabbed onto Leech's arm before speeding away and turning off the holoring revealing Wally.
"What?" Leech collapsed to his feet as Wally stole his powers back.
"See, we used the holorings we created for Gar there to fool Orion. Once he was gone we tested my other theory," Wally said gesturing for the police to handcuff and collar Leech.
"That if Wally touched you he would get his powers back," Gar said before transforming back from the Wally who was in the shop to himself.

"Wally," Bruce said as Wally, Gar, and Virgil teleported back into the cave, "Good job."
